I Feel Like I See A Lot Of Takes About Syd Having Feelings For Carmy As If Those Feelings Are One Sided.

i feel like i see a lot of takes about Syd having feelings for Carmy as if those feelings are one sided. but those feelings are very much mutual, very much reciprocated. you’ll never be able to convince me that the man who created a Syd fancam in his head to calm himself down during a panic attack, doesn’t have feelings for the subject of said fancam. you won’t convince me that the man who followed Syd outside with a plate of food despite it being obvious that she wanted to be alone, doesn’t have feelings for the person who he brought said plate of food for. Not to mention:

“What’s goin on with you”

“Nothing”

“Sydney…”

like he doesn’t know her well enough to be doing all that and yet still. what gets me about that scene is that they really don’t know each other that well to be acting like that towards one another. yet they were comfortable enough to be vulnerable with each other.

Eddie doesn’t bullshit around. It’s one of Steve’s favorite things about him. He exaggerates and aggravates, but he doesn’t dress up as someone else; sticks to his convictions, bends when he needs to. And when Steve pushes, Eddie isn’t afraid to push back.

Steve bitches and Eddie answers with a joke. Steve listens to his favorite station, Eddie flicks the dial to his own. A flirty smile for a pet name Steve pretends to hate.

Steve kisses him, Eddie kisses back harder. Grips at Eddie’s waist while ringed fingers twist into his hair. Pushes Eddie flat on his back, then Eddie pushes him into a seated position instead.

Steve doesn’t mind. Another one of his favorite things about Eddie is the way he looks climbing into his lap—determined, smug, unnecessarily contrary.

Likes it even more when he shoves Eddie’s pants down and away. Lives for the sound of his own zipper being undone. Lifts up enough for Eddie to pull denim tight around his thighs.

And when Eddie works himself open, Steve knocks his hand away and does it for him, baring his neck for Eddie to bite at in retaliation.

At this point, it’s usually less of a push and more of a give and take. A dance they’ve mastered.

Steve tears Eddie’s shirt off because he also likes when he gets Eddie to dress down, especially to nothing, and Eddie grinds on Steve’s fingers until his eyes blacken.

Steve sinks into him and he can’t think about much else after that. Only focuses on Eddie’s desperate moans, the way his fingers curl into his shirt, the privilege of seeing him bounce up and down. Feels nothing but tight silky heat, sweaty skin, and his own heart pounding with something other than exertion.

But his favorite part is right after, when Eddie kisses him softer, reminding Steve that they want each other just the same, in all the ways he almost gave up on. New ways he never knew existed.

And Steve never questions it, because Eddie never dresses up as a liar. Not when it matters like this.

this was so normal….

Happy spooky month, everyone!! 🎃👻🦇
