Turns out: Eddie under the influence comes in a variety of flavors. High Eddie is languid, touchier than normal which is fucking saying something, and weirdly philosophical. By comparison: Drunk Eddie's a lovelorn bastard, a little teary with it sometimes, always clingy and a touch extra possessive, and sappier than he gets on even his most sappy days. Once he told Steve that no, he couldn’t let him go take a piss because, and Steve remembers to the word: there’s stardust in my body that’s in your body and that shit’s like magnets, Stevie, like magnets or whatever so my heart’s like pulled to your heart and if you go away without me ever you’ll rip my heart out—because like, kind of declaration sticks with you. Drunk or not. But then there’s third flavor, a specific one: and that’s medicated Eddie. And that Eddie, cough-medicine-soaked-to-the-gills? He’s an adorably giggly little fuck, s'what he is. - Or: Hawkins was one of those high schools that sold carnations to send anonymously on Valentine's Day. Of all the ones Steve received each year, only one—every year—was white. It's not Eddie's fault he gets loose-lipped on cough medicine.
