( it's personal growth that Eddie doesn't open his mouth to argue with Jim, instead keeps his mouth shut for once and just nods. maybe it's the certainty to Jim's voice, the abruptness with which he answers that tells Eddie that he doesn't even think about it.
it's nice, that certainty directed at him. not that he doesn't get it with Jem, but--- but it's nice to have it here too with Jim. Jim's much more complicated.
he's not a complete pussy about pain, he's not, but Eddie hisses as Jim pulls back the dressings. the wound's not doing great, it hurts. he tries to not make eye contact, eyes watering anyway. the tears don't spill until he's pulled into a broad chest, until he's encircled in Jim's arms. maybe he's shaking a little. ) Fu-- ck. Shit.
Hop.( there's a hint of desperation in his tone but even Eddie's not sure what it means, what it's for. ) It's-- I'm so fucked up. It's so fucked up. It was-- Fuck.
