( it takes a lot for eddie not to text something back, something useless and sarcastic. it's a terrible idea, he knows. trying to text while driving a motorcycle is significantly more dangerous than speeding alone, and there's nothing really important that needs to be said between now and the time it takes for jason to get here.
which, for the record, is a suspiciously short amount of time.
the door's unlocked and the windows are open, so jason can just sort of take his pick when it comes to entry - eddie meets him either way. it's probably not the most secure way to live in an apartment but whatever. eddie's got an alien. he's not worried about it. )
[ hey, Jason knows all about useless and sarcastic comments, and terrible ideas. how the two of them have managed this for this long is kinda crazy. but maybe that's just it. they get it.
Jason goes in through the door (who does Eddie think he is, leaving the window entry open for him? Robin??), scoffing slightly when he finds it unlocked. normally he'd give someone shit for that, but... yeah. alien. ]
Sounds super illegal. ( ha. legality. ) Whatever. I'm glad you're here. C'mon, sit down.
( does he want the couch, the kitchen table, or does he want to perch onto of the counter... like a bird? )
Yeah, so, I've been thinking...
...
Jason. You can talk about whatever you want to. Or don't want to. You don't have to talk at all. Don't feel like you gotta share shit you're not ready to talk about just because I want you to. That's... that's not cool, y'know?
[said as sarcastically as possible, but that's just him. he's glad to be here too. unless Eddie starts making bird jokes for real. he's not ready to sit yet, but he does go linger around where Eddie's standing, looking at him.]
Maybe I just really wanted to be here with you. Especially after you said all that stuff. I wasn't really expecting it.
And that's the thing, isn't it? You shouldn't be, like, surprised to hear that I like you. That means I'm doing a really, really shitty job at this whole boyfriend thing.
( he knew he could be bad, but not this bad, wow.
with jason hovering nearby, eddie reaches out for his arms, holds his hands briefly before wrapping his arms around his waist. )
I like you. So much. And I'm gonna just have to tell you that every day, I guess.
No, Eddie... that's not what surprised me. Look, you're not shit at this alright? Just chill out for a second.
[he says, but he moves in closer to Eddie anyway, when the other's arms go around him. and okay, it's not like he's gonna Stop Eddie from saying these things now, because he likes to hear them. he needs to hear them.]
Yeah? Like, nothing crazy. We still sleep in a lot, so don’t expect cutesy wake-up calls or anything. But… But we can totally do that.
( it’s nice. jason’s a little chilly, probably from being outside, but it’s still nice for eddie to hug him, to run one of his arms higher on his back and hold him closer. )
Damn, all I've ever wanted are cutesy wake up calls.
[he smirks, cause he's teasing.]
I'm kidding. Maybe I'll leave some for you, though.
[Jason lets himself lean into Eddie because he can, and because this feels nice after all the uncertainty. Jason's uncertain about shit a lot more than he lets on.]
Always a good day when V's not starving. And when we're good.
[he can be sweet. he can be even sweeter when he feels more secure about things. when it doesn't feel like he's gonna be tossed to the curb any day now. not that Eddie ever acted like he would be, but Jason gets stuck in his shitty thoughts a whole lot.]
Yes. I absolutely wanna do that. But wait. First...
[he tugs Eddie in for a kiss, sliding his arms around his neck. gotta start the night with a proper kiss.]
( eddie’s kissed more people than he has any reason to think about, so on paper there shouldn’t be anything special about kissing jason. it shouldn't have him smiling the way it does. WHAT A STRANGE EARTH CUSTOM. TRY BITING HIM INSTEAD-
holy shit, stay out of his head, v, thanks.
if eddie makes a face, jason should feel good in knowing it wasn't him. he pecks jason's lips again to drive that home. )
…
All right.
Yeah, new plan. You think you wanna, like, watch Bill Nye the Science Guy and make out instead? Or... Or cuddle and... make out... while also simultaneously watching Bill Nye the Science Guy?
( this being an educational experience is non-negotiable. )
[ Jason's good at picking up on when V's talking shit in Eddie's head, so he knows the face isn't him, at least not this time. because yeah, the kiss is good. it's real good, and maybe it's cause Jason feels more comfortable now.
Eddie's really in this, and Jason wants to be in it too. ]
I did say I was in the mood for fucking cuddles, right?
[he says with a small smirk, lips still close to Eddie's.]
Bill Nye can watch us in the background while we cuddle and make out.
