( Eddie wants to protest, but he knows it's futile. He thought he would feel better once he got that off his chest, but now it only has him feeling empty inside. On the one hand, he feels less of a weight off his shoulder now that he's not keeping it a secret that he's into guys, specifically Steve.
But what happens if they do miraculously survive? He will still have to overcome this crush that only seems to worsen the longer Steve holds his hand. )
You weren't -- you weren't a total douchebag. ( Eddie feels Steve's fingers tighten around his, and his eyes widen. At least Steve hasn't dropped his hand in disgust. That has to count for something, right? ) Besides, you're not that guy anymore, Steve.
