Re: marvel: eddie/muerte
[Eddie was doing a really good job at keeping himself together, enough that he thought he deserved a Muerte hug and maybe a couple rounds of kisses. She hadn't given him any yet and with all these confessions and talk about love and feelings, he thought it was only fair that she'd kiss him. Even if it was just a little. So, he turned, ready for a happy embrace when she gave him a look like he just shot her in the middle of Crime Alley.] Wait, what? [His smile wibbled away for good and his eyes went wide.]
Was the rest the wind up? Did you just emotionally sucker punch me? [Eddie asked incredulously because that was a new low. If she was deliberately trying to break his heart to prove he felt more than he said, well that was as low as it got.] I don't believe you'd come up with that on your own. Who- did Destin coach you on what to say to really get me going? So when you told me no it would hurt in all the right places? [His voice turned nerdy when he was angry and hurt, like a mathlete who was about to get shoved in a locker for being a smart ass.] What did I do? How did I get it wrong?
