“steve harrington, bracing himself for disappointment on this, of all days ? king steve ?” no longer is the title of king steve spewed with such vitriol as a younger eddie had used to. they’re something adjacent to FRIENDS, now, and so old insults are reformed into something gentler ; more akin to nickname than cruel epithet. eddie is not softened on every hard edge, though, because the notion of valentine’s day remains a sickly-saccharine joke in cynical mind such as his. he boasts no rose-tinted glasses with which to adore the soft pinks and vivid reds : can only see couples who fit society’s mold rubbing noses in public to show off. guys like eddie will never be afforded the capitalistic joys of such a commercialized romance. steve, though ? eddie had expected steve would eat this whole thing up, pretty girl hanging off his shoulder with the appropriate heart eyes & rose bouquet. “and here i would have thought this was the favored holiday of our beloved womanizer.”
