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.
