( Eddie can understand the concern. Hawkins is a small town. Although Eddie kissed back, that doesn't necessarily mean anything. They've been through a lot since that first night Steve showed up at his door. Steve couldn't possibly know just how much Eddie had been yearning for him since even that first night.
And Eddie keeps his feelings under wraps for a very good reason. If he admits his feelings for the wrong person, it could get him beaten. Not that Eddie thinks Steve would do that. But if he has such strong concerns, then surely Steve must be just as worried that he could have fucked this up.
Eddie smiles, brushing a strand of hand behind Steve's ear. )
That was more than okay, Steve. You know I've wanted to do that for, uh, an embarrassingly long time.
