a/n: eddie munson, you little menace, i love u
“bye eddie! love you!” steve calls out, shoving his feet into his shoes as he juggles his lunch in one hand and keys in the other, about to leave for work.
silence echoes in the apartment and steve frowns, calling out a confused, “eddie?”
a huff and shuffling feet before eddie’s sleep ridden form shuffles into the lounge, blanket wrapped around him and what steve can only describe as a poor attempt at a glare and full on pout on his face.
“what.” eddie grumbles and steve is shocked and slightly anxious, he has to leave now if he doesn’t want to be late but eddie seems to be in somewhat of a mood.
“you didn’t respond to my love you.” steve says with a tilt to his head, resembling a confused puppy.
“well how was i supposed to know you were talking to me?!” eddie asks huffing angrily, arms crossed over his chest as he glares at steve.
steve is stumped, “what- eddie what are you talking about-?”
“don’t call me that.” eddie growls and steve gawks at him.
“call you what? your name?!” steve squawks indignantly and eddie growls again, lifting a hand to point at steve.
“that’s not my name and you know it!” eddie exclaims, close to yelling and steve is about to form a stress headache.
“what? baby-” steve sighs, exhausted and dreading having to go to work after having a fight with his boyfriend that’s apparently forgotten his own name.
“aha!” eddie yells with wide a manic look, pointing crazily at steve, shuffling on his feet.
“you knew and you still did it!!” eddie cries and steve lifts his hands in surrender.
“do we need to take you to the ER?” steve questions with a totally serious tone but eddie only groans throwing his head back in annoyance, as if steve is being a nuisance.
“you don’t call me eddie! you call me baby, every. single. day. you leave him, you call out, “bye baby! love you!” and i respond with, “bye honey, love you more!” and then i sit here and wallow until you come home!” eddie whines out and steve snorts.
eddie levels him with a hard stare and steve’s eyes widen, “okay okay, yes you’re right baby, i should have never called you eddie, my bad, i apologize” steve rushes out before eddie can throw something at him.
eddie smiles, satisfied, humming with a nod before closing his eyes, curls framing his face as he leans against the wall.
“kiss for emotional distress caused?” eddie asks with a grin and steve shakes his head fondly, already walking over.
“you’re a menace.” steve states and eddie only shrugs with his doe eyes looking all too shiny, “your menace though.” he mumbles before they kiss sweetly.
