    Summary

    Steve didn't get shown much affection as a child.

    There were no kisses goodnight from his mother, no high fives if he did well on his spelling tests. When he fell off his bike and grazed his knees there was nobody to hug him and dry his tears. Suffice to say he could go weeks, even months without being touched more than a casual brush of shoulders in the school hallways.

    Or

    Steve struggles with being touch starved.

    Eddie helps.
