[ eddie's always had a thing for fingers in his hair or a comforting hand to the back of his neck. it is grounding, has him relaxing by instinct.
but it's different too, something primal rears its head and while a growl rumbles out of him, that's not eddie. something else, something that feels angry at the hand trying to subdue and ground him like he's not predator--- but okay. he's not though. eddie doesn't growl at people but whatever spiral of breakdown eddie's about to have about that is cut off when steve "the hair" harrington kisses him.
he's so close. his neck is so close. eddie wants to bite him. he lifts his hands up, fists them in steve's shirts to pull him close before he remembers himself and where they are and he snap out of the fucking daze. he doesn't shove with full force because eddie's dimly aware something's up and what if this freaky-deaky bullshit comes with strength he can't control because he growled. but he does puts some distance between them. ] Jesus Christ. I just-- I just growled at you. This-- this isn't safe. What the fuck.
[ which is probably the bigger issue because eddie's starting to realize that maybe the monsters aren't out there but they're right here. but then-- ]
W-What are you doing-- ? [ eddie's been the guy punched for that before, he has, so he doesn't want to be the guy on the other side so he sounds somewhere between very confused and uncertain, nervous. ]
