“You go with them.” Everyone freezes. The words are directed at Eddie, specifically. Dustin looks like he has about a million questions, plus a million more reasons to protest the suggestion itself but the one that comes out of his mouth is probably the most obvious: “You don’t play guitar.” Steve doesn’t even turn to look at him when he answers, never missing a single beat. “It’s not music that fucks them up, dipshit,” Steve flicks at the side of Dustin’s forehead, though the kid’s quick about dodging, it lands mostly in his hair; “they hate noise. I could totally just rig you up to the sound system and have you go on about the first version of Cerebro. In fact,” and this time Steve’s quicker, and he darts to grab for Dustin like he’s going to hogtie him into the time-honored tradition of anti-bat performance art via nerd-babble. Part of Eddie wants to cackle. Most of Eddie’s fucking petrified. — In which Eddie goes to the Creel House, Steve takes on the bats, and things end…differently. Also: Eddie’s been dating Steve since Fall of 1985. Which might prove important once Steve’s in a coma and Eddie won’t leave his side.
