Slipping Through My Fingers

Eddie straightened up as he heard Steve and Robin admit that they had left Henderson behind at the mall. “You left him there?!” His voice wasn’t one of anger but more so shock and concern. Setting his burger and milk shake down on the coffee table rather quickly. 

Scrambling to his feet, Eddie rests a hand on Steve’s shoulder. “Slow down big boy, don’t want ya slapping into the floor or the coffee table.” Commenting with a chuckle. “We can go back to the mall and pick him up. Is there anything else we need to do?” Asking while he watches Robin start to stand up. Offering his free hand to her to help with balance. 

Steve grabbed onto Eddie’s arm as he tried to get everything to stop spinning around him, and he forced himself to take a deep breath - though that immediately had him wincing as his ribs twinged. 

“Whoa...” He said softly, looking down at the ground. “Shit.” He mumbled, moving to sit back down and groaning. 

“I dunno... Henderson’s probably still looking for us, I think.” He said, resting his head back and closing his eyes as he tried to get the spinning to settle.

“Yeah, he’s a good kid.” Eddie agrees while he sets his burger down, picking up his milkshake cup and sipping from it. I think I saw him tonight? In the cinema. I’m not sure who he was with though.” Shrugging as he pops a couple of onion rings into his mouth. 

Robin had barely been a bite or two into her burger when she let out a gasp, choked slightly and sipped down some milkshake to clear her throat. “Steve.. did we get them home?” Asking and staring at her best friend. 

“Oh.” Steve said, blinking and looking at him. “Shit! We left Henderson there!” He said, his eyes widening a little. “The Russians are gonna get them!” He went to stand up--

Only for everything to spin and whirl around him. He made a groggy sound, grabbing onto the arm of the chair to steady himself.

Eddie knew it was a lot to wrap one’s mind around while high. So, he didn’t expect too much of Steve in that moment. He’d more than likely leave early in the morning. The younger two might not even remember him taking care of them. But, Eddie didn’t mind. He felt like he’d done the right thing. 

“Yeah, a little rowdy but not a bad kid. I met him about a month ago. Turns out him and his friends play the same table top game I do. Might try to recruit him and his buddies in the fall. I uh– run a DnD club at school.” Mentioning while he slowly works through his burger. 

Robin stirred on the couch. Sitting up right a little fast, groaning as she held her head. “Where am I– how.. did we get here?” Asking while she looks at Steve. “I drove you and Steve to his place.” Eddie lightly mentions with a kind tone. Robin stares at him. “Oh. Thanks, is there one of those for me?” She asks while pointing at the burger in Steve’s hand. 

Steve continued to work on his burger, just processing everything as he did. He looked at Eddie again as the man spoke, and he nodded a little. “Henderson likes that D&D stuff.” He said, taking another bite. 

He looked over at Robin as she sat up, and he waved at her - only to protectively guard his burger as she pointed at it. 

“Yours is over there.” He said, pointing to the coffee table.

Eddie nods while he keeps an eye on Steve. “It’ll suck for a few days but I’m sure you’ll be fine.” He gently mentions with a kindness in his tone. Sipping from his milkshake as he begins to eat. 

“Ah, I was curious why there wasn’t a car in the drive way. Makes sense. My uncle works late. Gets home in the morning usually.” Eddie adds as he glances over at Robin. She was still snoozing on the couch. “Dustin talks about you sometimes. I dunno how you two became buddies, but I’m glad he has you.” 

Steve began to carefully work on his burger - though it was tricky while only using one hand. He looked over at Eddie as he spoke, and for a moment he was stuck by the absurdity of what was happening; He was sitting in his living room, drugged and beat half to death, while Robin Buckley, also drugged, was asleep on his couch. And sitting across from him, eating a burger, was Eddie Munson. How the hell had that happened? 

“Henderson?” He blinked, seeming surprised by the mention of Dustin. Dustin knew Eddie? How did that work? “Yeah, he’s a good kid.”

“It’s alright, just be careful you got a really gnarly black eye.” Eddie mentions while he took Steve’s burger box out of the paper bag, setting it down on his lap. Getting up and grabbing their milk shakes. He sets Steve’s down on the coffee table. 

Getting his own food, taking a couple of bites. His eyes wander the living room a little. “Are your parents asleep or away for the summer?” Lightly asking as he was simply curious. 

“Yeah, I feel like it’s gonna pop outta my head.” He mumbled, watching as Eddie grabbed the food. He began to unwrap the burger with one hand, not moving the makeshift ice pack from his eye for a single moment. 

He glanced up at Eddie as he spoke again, and he shrugged a little as he sighed. “Dad’s on a business trip out of town.” He said. “...Not sure if he said where, now that I think of it.” He added thoughtfully after a moment. Had he? He didn’t have a memory of it, if he had.

Eddie follows after Steve into the house, shutting and locking the door. Letting go of his shirt once he sat down. “I’ll uh, wake her in a bit. Or we could just let her rest and she’ll eat when she wakes up?” Making sure that Steve was stable enough before he moves to grab the bags of food. Setting everything down on the coffee table. 

“Don’t touch your– and you touched it. Here, you get your order, I’m gonna find some ice or cold veggies for your eye.” Commenting as he slips back into the kitchen. Looking around in the freezer for something cold and easy to wrap in a dish cloth. “Why do they have so much ice cream?” Muttering before finding a half empty bag of peas. Grabbing one of the decorative hand towels off of the stove, wrapping it around the bag of peas. He comes back to Steve. “For your eye.” 

Steve shrugged a little at Eddie’s options, coming to sit in an armchair before he leaned over to grab a bag of food. He rolled his eyes (or as best as he could manage with his shiner) at Eddie’s words, sighing. “I didn’t mean to.” He mumbled, shaking his head a little before starting to nibble on fries. 

When the man returned, he tool the bag of peas and pressed it to his eye, grimacing a little at the pressure but enjoying the coldness. 

“Thanks.” He said.

Eddie trails behind Steve up on to the porch. Moving the bag and drink to one arm. As he had a feeling that the other young man might not be able to fully listen to him in the moment. Though he didn’t hold it against him. He knew that sometimes if you over do it, it really messed you up. 

Reaching out and grabbing Steve by a handful of his shirt. “Hey there big boy, remember what I said about the lip of the door frame. You gotta lift those feet up.” Pulling Steve back up right, though he didn’t let go of him yet. Getting the feeling that he might have to guide him inside and find a spot for him to sit down at.

 A little relieved that he had permission to stay the night. “Good, I want to make sure you and Robin wake up in the morning.” 

“I got it, I got it.” Steve mumbled as Eddie stopped him from falling, but it took a moment for him to get his feet underneath him again. Why was moving so hard all of a sudden? Finally, he managed to get himself upright, and he started to make his way to the living room - only to pause as he saw Robin sleeping on the couch. 

“How’s she gonna eat if she’s asleep?” He mumbled, coming to sit in one of the chairs and rubbing at his eye - only to wince as he realized too late that it was the wrong eye to touch. Shit.

“You sure about that?” Eddie asks as he notices rather fast just how sluggish Steve was upon climbing out of the van. Moving the bags of food to his other arm. Ready to grab the brunet if something took a turn. Following after him up the drive way towards the house. 

“Don’t forget that the porch has a couple of steps.” Gently reminding Steve. Seeing him dragging his feet a little. “So uh, not to over invite myself. But, I kind of want to keep an eye on you and Robin until you both sober up. Do you mind if I stick around for a couple of hours?” Asking with a softness to his tone. 

Steve nodded a little at the question, continuing towards the house. He was definitely moving slower, with less confidence than usual, but he was at least able to remain upright. He smiled a little at Eddie’s reminder, and he nodded a little as he started up the few steps. 

“I know.” He said. “I live here, after all.” He said, pausing at the top of the stairs. He looked over at Eddie again as the man spoke, but he was surprised by the request. 

“Uh... yeah. S’probably for the best.” He said, nodding and looking at the door again. He made his way inside - only for his foot to catch on the threshold. The young man stumbled comically, flailing, but ultimately lost his balance and starting to fall. Shit.

Eddie had attempted to grab the second bag of food when Steve finally began to stir. “Hey sleepy head.” Smiling while he carefully takes the bag of food from Steve’s arm. Holding it in one hand while he looks him over. Half tempted to just scoop him up and carry him inside. Though, he didn’t know if Steve would get squirmy. 

He looks so peaceful. But he needs to get inside sooner than later. Am I staying tonight or.. do I just take my food and dip? 

“We’re back at your place. I already took Robin inside. She’s asleep on your couch. The drinks and other bag of food are inside on the island. It’s just this and uh– you.” Chuckling a bit. “You feelin’ up to walking some or do I get the honor of carryin’ you inside like a drunk princess?” Playfully asking while he keeps an eye on the brunet. “You did a good job at not kicking our food in the face by the way.” 

Steve looked around for a moment, getting his bearings. They were already at his place? That was quick... He looked back at Eddie as he continued to speak, and he nodded a little. 

“Yeah, I can walk.” He said, unbuckling himself and slowly sliding out of the van. He was still a little unsteady, but he was able to support himself as he straightened up and started to walk towards the house.

“Thanks buddy.” Eddie speaks up while he keeps an eye on the road. Picking up his smoothie and sipping from it. He could tell that Steve was going to drift off soon. Slowing the driving speed, keeping up with the street signs. 

“I know you have a pool.. so the house has gotta be bigger.” Murmuring while the van creeps down the street. He’d never been on Carlton Road. But he could read the house numbers. Pulling into the drive way and turning off the engine of his van. “Hey uh Steve, we’re here.” Looking over to see that the brunet was passed out in his passenger seat. “I’m just gonna.. borrow these.” Murmuring while looks around the front door and finds a spare key under the door mat. “Horrible hiding spot.” 

Eddie goes to unlock the front door. Coming back to the van and opening the side door, carefully pulling robin into his arms. Carrying her inside and laying her down on the couch. Heading back out, closing the side door, grabbing the other two smoothies and one of the bags. “Oh Stevie, wake up.” 

Steve relaxed more as they drove, his head resting back against the seat. It wasn’t too long into the drive that he dozed off again, this time into a deeper sleep. He didn’t seem to notice as they arrived at his home, instead continuing to snooze on as Eddie got out and unlocked the house. 

Robin grumbled as she was picked up, seeming to wake just slightly before wrapping her arms around the man’s neck and settling down again. Soon enough, she was curled up on the couch, fast asleep once more. 

Steve hadn’t moved by the time Eddie returned to the van, his head rolled to the side and his (beaten up) face relaxed and peaceful. He furrowed his brows as Eddie called to him, turning his head the other way and sighing sleepily. He heard the crinkle of the bag, however, and that seemed to rouse him much like it had before. He sleepily blinked his eyes open, looking around in confusion before looking at Eddie. 

“...Huh?” He mumbled.

Eddie nods and makes sure that it’s on Steve’s order. “And uh, three large orders of curly fries.” Speaking up while he pulls his wallet from his pocket. Thank god he’d dealed earlier in the day. Pulling up to the next window, paying and taking the bags first. 

He lightly tucks them down on the floor in front of Steve’s feet. “Do not kick the bags, you’ll hurt our food.” Stating while he looks at the other man. Phrasing it in a way that would prevent the temptation from a high mind. 

Eddie takes the three shakes. Two of them going into the cup holders up front and the third one he just held between his thighs. “So uh– what’s your address?” Asking as he realized he didn’t have that. Sure, he lowkey stalked Steve at the mall over the summer. But, he wasn’t crushing that deeply to ever follow him home. 

Steve closed his eyes as Eddie ordered and paid, relaxing against the seat as he listened. He had been starting to doze off when he heard the crinkle of the paper bags, and he opened his eyes tiredly to look. He nodded at Eddie’s instruction, moving his legs a little to make more room for the bags. 

He looked at Eddie as he spoke again, and he nodded a little. “Oh, right.” He said, and gave his address as he rested his head back again. “S’not that far.” He said.

A warm laugh escaped Eddie at the excitement that pours off of Steve. Listening while he mentally takes note of everything. It was comforting to him to see the other brunet like this. Sure, he was high off his ass, but happy and real. “That does sound good. Do you want bacon on it or just a cheese burger?” Curiously asking while glancing over at Steve. 

Figuring that the two had been awake for way too long. So, he wouldn’t take it personally if Steve did end up falling asleep. Pulling up to the drive through. He began ordering, getting Robin’s order out of the way first, then his own, he does Steve’s order last. 

“And is that all or is there anything else?” The drive through attendant asks. Eddie looks over at Steve. “Anything else on the menu catch your interest?” 

“Yeah, bacon!” He nodded. “Bacon is so good on burgers.” He said, resting his head back against the headrest. Man, that was comfy...

He could feel himself starting to get drowsy, but he looked over at the menu as they pulled up. 

“Ooh, can I get some curly fries too?” He asked, blinking heavily. Why was he getting so tired all of a sudden?

“Oh my god, I would love a milkshake! Chocolate! No! Strawberry!” Robin shouts with a little too much excitement from the back while she curls up in the van. Somewhat laying down somewhat sitting up. Her shoes pressed up against the other wall to keep herself in place. “I want cheese on my burger, please.” 

Eddie chuckles while listening to the pair. “Cheese burger and a strawberry shake.” Nodding while keeping his eyes on the road. During a stop light he does look back at Robin. She had fallen asleep. “Good thing I got her order before she zonked out. Are you gonna fall asleep too?” Playfully asking while he looks to Steve. “It’s okay if you need a bit of a nap. Just let me know your order and I’ll take care of it.” Looking back at the road just in time for the light to change. Driving through the late night streets again. 

Steve gasped softly at Robin’s comment, nodding eagerly. “Chocolate, for sure. And oh my god, cheese!” He nodded eagerly. “Cheese on my burger too!” He said. 

As they reached the stop light, he glanced back as well, smiling as he saw Robin out cold. She deserved the rest... they’d been though a lot in the last 24 hours. 

“Nah, I’ll be fine.” He replied to Eddie’s question, shaking his head. “But... cheeseburger with onion rings, and a chocolate shake.” He said happily. “That sounds so good.”

Eddie glances at Robin through the rear view mirror while he buckles up. Watching her sit down on the van bed and sip down the water. Pulling out of the lot and making sure he drove as smooth as possible. “We stopped because her stomach flipped on her for a moment. But, I think she’s alright.” Speaking while he gets on the road and begins to drive to the fast food place. 

“Yeah, we’re still going to get burgers. You two talking about it is making me hungry now.” Eddie confesses with a chuckle. “A burger with the works and maybe some onion rings sounds amazing right now. I hope their shake machine isn’t shut down for the night. Don’t you think so, Steve?” Beaming with a bright grin. 

Steve smiled as he was reassured, and he took a drink of the water as he looked out the window. He looked back over at Eddie as he spoke again, and he nodded. 

“A milkshake sounds so good right now.” He said, sighing contently. “Right, Robin?” He asked, looking over his shoulder at the young woman. “Oh, and onion rings!”
