āYou keep proving me right when I called you an asshole, Eds.āĀ
Eddie drew his brows together with a twitch of amusement on his lips āWait, wait.ā He laid a hand on the bed while Steve froze. āWhat did you just call me?ā
Steveās eyes darted away from him āWhat, Munson?ā
Eddie furrowed his eyebrow with fake confusion āThat wasnāt what I heard. Call me that again. He had an amused grin on his mouth.
āNo.ā Steve cocked his head with fake smugness. āI wasnāt fully awake yet, and my nicknames are only for close friends, and I donāt want any more best friends,ā Steve finished with a smirk.
Eddie slapped a hand over his heart. āYeah?ā He leaned closer to Steve with a gleam in his eyes. āWhat do you want to be then?ā His intonation was low and mellow as he studied Steveās face.
Steve lifted his head to the ceiling, pretending to be thinking about it as he tried to not focus in the way that Eddieās tone affected him āWellā¦a caretaker. Why?ā A corner of Eddieās mouth lifted as well as his eyebrows
āJust go, Munson.ā Steve tapped him with his foot. āIām going to take a shower.ā Steve tried to push him off the bed, but Eddie planted his feet. āLeave.ā Steve sounded strained, but his body moved a few inches. āI said leave, Munson.ā
Eddie clasped Steveās hand and put it on the bed as he sat. āIām not leaving.ā His voice was husky. āIāll leave as soon as you call me that again.āĀ
Steve let out an exasperated breath āWhat if I donāt?ā He gave a cheeky smile
āListen to you, itās like you wanted me to stay here.ā Eddie put his arm over Steveās leg
āMunsonā Steve scoffed while Eddie scratched his nose
āUp to you; I can stay here all day.ā
Steve gave an annoyed sigh. āFine, youāre unbelievably annoying, Edward.ā He leaned forward, his hand resting over Eddieās āEds.ā Eddie beamed
He turned his ear to Steve. āIām sorry. I didnāt catch that; can you say it again?ā
Steve nudged him off the bed again āI did what you wanted; now go.ā
Eddie pushed Steveās hand away. āThatās all you need to do.ā He playfully swiped his hand over Steveās chin. āSweetie.ā
