“I fucked up.” Wayne takes a seat in his recliner but leans forward, full attention. It’s not that he wholly doubts that his nephew could, maybe very well has fucked up, he just highly doubts that’s not a particularly dramatic and probably inaccurate way of phrasing it. Also? If Wayne’s picked up anything about the relationship Eddie’s built over more than a year, now, it’s that it’s one of odd but undeniable equals. Adults, who squabble and shout and sometimes storm out but usually only because they recognize the need to step away, take some air.

Wayne’s…just not too concerned. “How’s that?” Eddie’s eyes flick up from what he’s reading, not even scared. More…ashamed. Devastated, and ashamed. So Wayne pays extra close attention when Eddie shakes his reading material, oh: a calendar. The calendar. With all the anniversaries on every goddamn day. Eddie tosses the calendar on the table and moans, despondent: “I missed one.” - In which Eddie misses an anniversary. But…does he really?
