Work Text:
When Eddie got the call from Steve that he was home alone, he hadn’t envisioned this. Of course, Steve’s parents were practically never home, but he tended to be pretty busy with work and the reoccurring apocalypse. Either way, Eddie had been plenty more than excited to get his boyfriend alone. He’d had to have a battle of wills with a hard on, on the drive.
Instead of getting high together or screwing like Eddie had hoped, they were in Steve’s bathtub. Now to say he didn’t enjoy the situation, it was just unexpected.
Like everything else in the house, everything in the bathroom looked pristine and sterile. Besides Steve’s toothbrush on the counter, that is. Eddie didn’t get Mr and Mrs Harrington’s obsession with keeping their house lifeless. The bathroom smelled vaguely like a candle—like Steve had tried to set the mood with one of his mother’s decretive candles and decided against it before Eddie got there. There were two towels on the bathroom counter than Steve had set out as well.
The water in the tub was warm, comfortably embracing the two. They were both thoroughly soaked by now. Eddie had been the cause to a minor splashing battle when they first got in together, but now he was more focused on listening kissed down Steve’s neck and trying not to get the younger’s shampoo in his mouth.
“You wouldn’t have to worry about the shampoo if you’d stop for a minute for me to rinse it out faster,” Steve quipped.
“But you like it, don’t you, big boy?,” Eddie teased him in return with his usual playful tone.
The most Eddie got in return was an eye roll and barely there laugh. Steve was trying to hold his amusement.
The brunette paused his attempts at rinsing his hair, opting to splash Eddie lightly instead. That got Steve a rather dramatic response as Eddie grasped like he’d been mortally wounded and slowly let himself go limp. “I have been forsaken! And by my own lover,” Eddie lamented dramatically as he slid from where he’d been propped up against Steve before allowing himself to fully submerge below the water. Steve took the chance to finish rinsing his hair before Eddie popped back up, laughing and hair sticking to his face.
“You’re ridiculous-“, Steve says with a hint of amusement before he’s cut off with a kiss. They were both smiling into it.
