Steve thinks they’re all overreacting. Like, he understands why—if he gets another concussion graded higher than 0 he’s fucked, and there he was, having spent his whole life trying his damnedest to get as high above a zero wherever grades were involved; life was so fucking weird—but he didn’t even blink longer than normal this time, Jesus H. Christ. But now—having slipped the grasps of the whole med team after getting the okay on his noggin—Steve was definitely alone in the locker room. And yet: the distinct sound of the ice bath being prepped is somehow echoing through. He follows the noise; doesn’t exactly want some rando who waltzed in catching him stark naked on their TikTok Live or whatever. The source of the sound, though, once Steve rounds the last corner toward it, isn’t a rando at all. Not even close. “Ice first, babe.” — Or, it really doesn’t matter where either of them are, or what it is that’s gone wrong. Doesn’t matter how bad or not-bad it is, whatever it may be. If something any-amount-of-bad happens to Steve, Eddie’s gonna be there in less than five to take care of his boyfriend fiancé.
