Love Is The Best High [STEDDIE]

X

After a long, hot shower Steve felt much better. The soreness wasn't absent but was tamed. Eddie was very good at aftercare, he washed his lover carefully, kissing him gently for reassurance.

Once the pair were done and out of the shower they walked back into Eddie's room, both with towels around their waists.

"Hey Steve can I ask you something?"

Steve nodded.

"Are those the scars from those nasty ass demobats?"

"Yep, Robin had given me this cream to fade them but I like the way they look. 'Very metal.' If I do say so myself."

Eddie chuckled, tracing the scars softly with his hand.
"Very metal, my strong hero princess. You'd be great in DnD."

The taller male rolled his eyes.
"Yeah and you just had me like a virgin in here."

Steve sat down on the edge of the messy bed, light imprints of sweat and the mess Eddie made still remained on the bed.
"Can I ask you a question?"

This time Eddie nodded.

"When did you get these new tattoos? Like this bat one here on your heart?"

The metal head blushed a bit, tucking his hair behind his ears.
"Well, you inspired them. You were willing enough to put your life on the line just to help me prove my innocence and get to the bottom of that crazy shit. I like getting Momentos of important things in my life."

Eddie examined his left arm, a X was written in small print right above his vein.

"This one was when I found out I was gay. I tried to take my own like with drugs. Heroin to be exact. But I lived and decided never again."

Steve felt a swell of compassion in his heart. He leaned over to hug Eddie by the waist. Placing a few kisses on his neck then up to his cheek.

"I... I really do love you Eddie. I'll always be here for you."

Eddie smiled. Holding onto Steve's arms.

"Thank you Stevie, this is sweet and all but we need to get dressed."

The boys laughed. Eddie got up going through his clothes, getting a pair of black skinny jeans and a Black Sabbath T-Shirt for Steve. As well as some clean boxers and socks.

"Wear this, it'll look good."

Eddie handed Steve the clothes and Steve took them gratefully.
He slipped off the towel to put on the boxers. Then putting the pants on, buttoning them. Finally pulling down the shirt and fixing a bit.
"Well?"

His long haired lover looked him up and down in pure amazement. How absolutely beautiful he looked. Walking up slowly to feel Steve's sides and skin just to make sure he wasn't dreaming. It was very real. Making the shy Steve blush, covering his face a bit in embarrassment.

"Dear god Harrington you're gonna be the death of me.."

"Okay okay- I get it- go put some clothes on hurry up-"

Disappointedly he tore away from Steve.
He shuffled around his clothes putting on boxers and of course his classic Hellfire shirt with a pair of ripped up black jeans.
Once done he put his rings back on, one by one.

Steve loved those rings. They felt so cool against his warm skin and were the perfect fit for Eddie.

Eddie noticed the boy staring and started to take one off.
Grabbing the short haired boys hand he placed it onto his ring finger.
"Can we be official? Like can we be boyfriends?-"
