Where You Call Your S.o. By Their First Name And Watch Them Flounder - Tumblr Posts

Eddie uses petnames so much that they start to have more meaning to Steve than Steve.

When Eddie calls him baby, it means he’s soft, or he’s worried about Steve, “You okay, baby?” But babe is always casual. When Eddie’s handing him something, “Here, babe,” or with a peck on his lips, “Thanks, babe.” He calls him sweetheart when he’s teasing, “Oh you wish, sweetheart,” or when he’s being extra loving, extra sweet.

It’s not like Eddie never calls him Steve, but usually it’s something serious, or when there’s lots of strangers around, but most of the time he’s sweetheart and Stevie and big boy. He gets so used to the petnames that it throws him completely off when Eddie calls him Steve for no reason.

Eddie: Hey Steve can you—

Steve: What :(

Eddie: I said Steve can you—

Steve: Did I do something wrong :(

Eddie: No? I just need you to—

Steve: Then why did you call me that :(

Eddie: It’s your name?

Steve: No :( I’m baby
