Steddie Week 2024
Day 6 - Drunken Confessions
Everyone else is long gone from the party, having stumbled their way to the front door with promises to drive safe maybe about an hour ago. Not that Steve or Eddie have been keeping track of time, neither one can focus on anything but the nonsensical rambling of their conversation and the swirling feeling in their heads. Not to mention, their proximity to one another. Sprawled out on the floor, the only support keeping them upright being the couch behind them.
Eddie is mid sentence when Steve starts to move closer, his body moving faster than his inebriated mind can keep up. His lips press against soft flesh for only a second, a hot mouth that tastes of beer and whisky, that shocks his nerves like a live wire. Steve pulls away before he can deepen the kiss into anything more than a short pec. His eyes snap open, he doesn't remember closing them, and are met with the endless ocean of Eddie's deep brown irises. Dilated pupils search his face in an uncoordinated manner, as Steve's throat clicks with dry swallow.
" Sorry, I- shit, I should've asked first, I'm so sorry."
Steve begins to retreat from Eddie's personal space before a firm hand clamps down on his biceps, keeping him place. With a sloppy grin pulling at his face, he shuffles back into the minute distance between them. His hand snaking up to cup at Steve's jawline.
"Y' can't just stop right b'fore I can kiss y'back, Stevie."
Eddie relocks their lips, moving Steve's jaw in time with his own. Desperate hands finding purchase where ever than can, as two of them melt into the floor together, their bodies like syrup in the others arms.

4. How do you mainly show trust or friendship towards someone? Are you touchy and like cuddling, talkative, showy, or do you just like quietly being near them?
Bella: I definitely ramble when I trust someone. I didn’t talk much when I was younger, but my best friend got an earful every time I found out something new. I get worried about boring people. Or we’ll just sit in silence. I’m not a touch driven person.
Freddie: If I like someone, I’ll offer feedback on their ideas instead of insulting them. Oh, and I’ll face them when I’m in the same room as them, maybe ask what they’re doing. I’m not great at small talk, but I’d at least try if I like you, or trust you not to make fun of me.
Zach: I like everyone! Well, there are certain people I don’t like, but it’s still mostly true. If I trust someone? I guess I’d not smile as much. It’s a little exhausting to be upbeat all the time. And I’d let them do their own thing, trusting that they can take care of themself. I don’t like losing people that are nice to me.
7. What’s your favourite pastime on a rainy day? How would you share this rainy day with a friend?
Fera: I love crafting on rainy days! Those days are also perfect for me to do indoor plant maintenance - I’m trying to keep a bonsai tree, and there are some colorful succulents I keep on my desk. Oh oh! If there are ducks outside I join them, but Vera, my twin, always tells me off when I get inside. She says I’ll catch a cold. And board games! I love playing board games with rain pounding on the roof and lightning flashing outside.
Nala: Honestly, if I’m on my own, I generally catch up on homework. If I’m with someone, it’s really nice to cuddle under some blankets on the couch to watch something together.
Victor-Hecate: I play video games when it’s raining for sure. There’s something about it that makes doing anything else feel really draining, even stuff I love, like beam. And I like multiplayer games, so if someone is over, I’d ask them to join me. Or they can just watch. It’s fine by me
