Somebody I Used to Know - pt 2

CW: mention of death threats

Pt 1 ao3

Eddie stands staring at the peeling paint on Steve’s apartment door. It looks more worn since the last time he saw it. Maybe it looks how Eddie feels. A little beat up and tired.

He’s been thinking about this moment for months, and now that he’s standing there, he feels like he’s making a terrible mistake.

There’s the hum of music behind the door, it’s dampened by the structure and it tugs at something inside of Eddie’s chest.

He shouldn’t be here.

Steve’s moved on.

He shouldn’t be here.

When Dustin told Eddie what happened before his visit, Eddie wanted to walk into oncoming traffic. He felt lower than dirt. He felt like he didn’t deserve to even hear Steve’s name. But he also knew he needed to apologize.

Steve thinks Eddie dropped him like a sack of potatoes and the truth is so far from that.

It took him weeks to build up the courage and drive down here. Jeff tried to convince him to let it go, but he couldn’t. He deserves to be yelled at. Steve should get to punch him in the face if he wants. Eddie could’ve handled the break up so much better than he did but hindsight is 20/20.

He hears footsteps on the other side of the door and it kicks his anxiety up. He can’t do this. He spins on his heels and tries to bolt down the hallway when he hears Steve’s door open.

"I don't know, dude," Eddie laments. He's laying down next to Steve on the floor. Even with air conditioning, it feels too god damn hot to do anything other than... well, lay on the floor. "Sounds to me like it's useful. The whole Empath thing."

"Uh, no, it fucking sucks," Steve doesn't even deign to turn his head and look at Eddie when he's talking to him. "You're probably thinking comic-book powers or dungeons and dragons shit. In the real world, where the rest of us live--"

Eddie snorts. The real world, where teenagers in the mid-west have superpowers. "--Sure, Steve--"

"Knowing exactly what people feel all the time is terrible."

"Explain it to me, then. Explain how being a mutant--"

"--Ugh--"

"A bonafide hero with powers is lame. C'mon. I dare you."

The world weary sigh is expected, as is the dry tone with which Steve explains how difficult his life is, "I mean like... Lucas and Mike and El are always on my ass now. Does he really like me? Is she gonna break up with me? Like passing notes in Junior High, only worse."

"Such a horrific fate has fallen on your young shoulders, Harrington, however will you survive?" Eddie tilts his head up off the floor to sip at his lukewarm beer, and feels a bit of it slide down the corner of his mouth. He snorts. Of course Steve Harrington gets it all, then has the nerve to complain about it. Powers on top of money and girls and shit. So unfair.

kira yukimura is actually the most important character in teen wolf because she is representation for all of us who cannot flirt if our lives depended on it
