Chapter 3 of the studding fic is up 💕
"I don't know. It's… nothing."
Alarm bells go off. Eddie immediately sits up straighter on the bed. "That doesn't sound like nothing. Are you okay?"
Steve's gaze flicks up briefly, meeting Eddie's gaze for barely a second before he looks away again.
"I don't know. Can the answer be both yes and no?"
"It can, but if it's no we're gonna have to talk about this. Did we do something you didn’t like?"
And maybe that was exactly it, because Steve kind of just… crumbles. His whole posture just sinks, shoulders drooping and head falling forward.
"Yes and no," Steve repeats miserably, pressing the pillow harshly into his lap in frustration, and ah, yeah, it's gotta suck to be upset and still not be able to get rid of your boner. "It's nothing bad, it’s just confusing. I think I feel… guilty?"
"What would you even have to feel guilty about, baby?" Eddie asks, because now he's feeling pretty confused as well.
“Uh. It feels a bit stupid after what you just said, but I feel like I didn’t do a very good job.”
“Uh, yeah, you were amazing to me, but maybe it wasn’t good for you?”
Steve stills, looking at him with a contemplating expression.
“I liked it,” he reassures Eddie. “But… that last part. There was nothing wrong with it, everything's okay, but I got really nervous when… when I was in charge."
Ah.
