Eddie holds him close, arms wrapped right around him. Steve thinks maybe it’s the safest he’s felt in a long time. His eyes burn again. “Did you want to talk about it?” Eddie asks carefully. Thumbing away the stray tears. Steve shrugs. “Not really much to say. They found out i’m not straight. They hit me like usual. I left.” “Like usual?” Eddie presses. Steve knows he could shake his head right now and Eddie would drop it. But he trusts Eddie. And he doesn’t feel like being alone anymore. God he really doesn’t want to be alone anymore. He isn’t alone. He knows this. He knows. Eddie has taken every part of Steve he’s ever been offered and held it close to his chest like it was something precious. Like every part of Steve was perfect and he wanted to keep every single one under his pillow. So Steve shrugs. “Yeah. Started when I was like, ten.” Eddies eyes are wide and a bit watery. “Ten?” ------- All the adrenaline Steve had gotten from the fight with his parents is gone and now he's exhausted. He doesn't want to be alone anymore. He talks to Eddie about it, then Robin, then the party. He's not alone anymore. Part 2 of "He Can Handle It"
