Re: eddie/steph.
[He likes the tiny, invisible lightning bolts that jump through his fingertips. Eddie presses his hand against her skin and it's perfectly cool like leaning on marble or flipping over a pillow. Her powers mixed with his makes the room smell faintly of crackling fire. He leans down to kiss her neck, lips lingering there until she turns her face away from him. A hum. Eddie's impressed she didn't push herself too far out of grief because that was the Stephanie he knew.] I'm relieved, honestly. I know it's selfish.
[She looks back at him and he thumbs away some of those tears, the lingering coolness of his fingers soothing her skin.] You did the best you could. And, you're right. I'm sure if he woke up in that cave he'd lose his mind all over again. Sometimes you just can't come back from things.
