( there’s a tinge of suspicion in eddie’s eyes, narrowed slightly like part of him doesn’t get it. ) How then?
( but jim’s already talking by then, guiding him with a firm grip in his hair because eddie’s not sure what he wants and the usual showmanship slips when he can’t see a step ahead. he’s in his lap first, facing the fire with legs spread over wide thighs. it’s vulnerable like this and eddie shudders when he feels jim’s lips brush against his shoulders, close to the scar from billy’s teeth. ) Huh…
( he’s still lost as he does it, trusts hopper will give him what he needs and wants as he settles not quite upside down with his forearm on the pillow. he’s gotten enough upper body strength from working in the greenhouse and the cabin to hold himself up, has more defined muscles underneath the scarred skin of his chest and back too. he lowers down anyway, arms crossed as he holds the pillow to his chest before he looks over his shoulder and up at jim for approval. )
