[He nodded and he was grateful that she understood Eddie had a hard time going from one extreme to the other. Oh, he could do it, but the consequence was losing parts of himself. The natural affection, the goofy sweetness, those were some of the things that were lost or forced when he felt like he needed to be something for someone else.] Okay. [Another nod and some of his tension was gone.
A smile at how natural it was to kiss her and Eddie remembered the initial awkwardness. How kissing was such a strange thing, how Muerte could barely stand to be around lights and noise and even the slightest touch felt like too much.] Fine, walking it is. Only on the condition that you promise a good deal of hand holding. [Eddie felt very proud of himself that his mind wasn't completely in the gutter, so when she teased him, he gave a look of scandalized shock. Then a beat for the sake of humor and he tilted his head with a nod.] Okay, you caught me. I was thinking about baseball. But! I can't be held accountable for how attractive you are. That's your fault, not mine.
