Prompt: Melancholy (Discord Drabble)
tw for depression/depressive episode, tbh i've left it super vague.
Eddie sneaks up behind Steve and wraps his arms around his boyfriend's middle. Steve stills, pausing the endless stirring of his coffee.
He had watched Steve doing so for a solid minute before moving into the kitchen, quietly observing after being greeted with a worried frown from Wayne after arriving home.
"What's goin' on?" he says, giving Steve a reassuring squeeze.
"M'fine," he says low, resuming his stirring.
The spoon scrapes and tinkles loudly in their silence.
"Steve..." he whispers in his ear.
"It's nothing," Steve shrugs and turns his head to look at the window by the four-seater dining table.
"Wayne's having a smoke," he explains.
Steve drops his spoon in his Cubs mug and shuffles around to face him. His eyes are glassy, impossibly big and sad as he frowns.
"I don't..."
He stops himself, shaking his head. Eddie reaches up to run a hand through his hair.
"S'okay," he soothes, watching as Steve closes his eyes, "I fear, Sir Steven, you have been touched by a bout of melancholy."
Steve hums, the corner of his lip quirking just a little. But his mild amusement quickly crumples away as he hugs Eddie tight, fists balling as much as they can in the leather of his jacket.
Steve buries his face into the crook of his neck, sniffling away.
Of course, Eddie holds him. Allows him to cling as tight against him as he wants, tears wetting his neck and shirt collar.
And he'll stay like this, as long as Steve needs to. Standing in the cramped kitchen with only the distant murmur of activity outside, the smell of coffee surrounding them.

Not to be that person talking about her favorite scene for the millionth time BUT the little ping! that rings as Vegas claps his hand on Pete in the episode 4 lunch scene? It gets me every time. Like “yes we have a winner! YOU have selected the correct bodyguard!” Love it so damn much.
