It's-- it's not just-- I don't think it's just for looks. [ the hysterical tone's back. eddie drops his hand. holyfuckholyfuckholyfuck.
on one hand, stepping back into steve's space is a bad idea because as steve panics and his heart races, eddie becomes more aware that this isn't just a weird shift in his appearance. that the hunger is, in fact, real and steve's looking more and more appealing in a 'seeing a real meal, maybe potatoes, after eating nothing but lambas bread for months' sort of way.
on the other hand, eddie has fuck all experience with monsters and steve's apparently fought the upside down and vecna-esque bullshit three times before. the bat looked pretty terrifying. he probably does actually have a better clue of what to do but eddie is also sure that he might tear a chunk out of him. he swallows, feels a bit in a daze.
eddie takes the step forward and crowds into steve's space instead. ] Steve, you should. Leave me. Run.
