    Summary

    Eddie won't stop touching anyone and everyone, except for Steve. He has a plan to change that.

    *

    “You can touch me.” That was not how Steve intended for it to come out. He opened his mouth and closed it a few times.

    Eddie had frozen with his fingers halfway to his mouth. Smoke curled from his cigarette between them. He raised his eyebrows, then frowned, then bit his lip.

    “I can-” Eddie said slowly, his face still rolling through several emotions without landing on one- “touch you?”

    Summary

    “Hands above the belt, Harrington.” Eddie huffed with a dry chuckle as Steve wrapped the metalheads bandages around his torso. Eddie grimaced at the feeling of numbing cream, antiseptic and dry, cotton bandages wrapping around his fresh stitches. First two weeks after he got his skin reattached he had to wear bandages, only taking them off when he showered and slept, to keep infections away, but after that his wounds would need to be exposed to the fresh air to heal. Eddie really wasn't excited for that.

    “I know dude, but they've gotta be all covered.” Steve muttered, focused on safety pinning Eddie’s tight bandages together so they didn't fall. He still had to bandage the metalheads chest, which was probably Eddie's least favorite thing in the whole world.
