    Summary

    Dear Eddie.

     

    I'm sorry I got you killed. I don’t know how to apologize to you in a way that matters. I don’t know how to talk to you at all. The doctor says I should, and Robin says I should. But neither of them have to do it. Neither of them get it. And sorry doesn't really seem to cut it.

     

    -

    For months, Steve's been writing letters to a dead man. So you can imagine how awkward it is when Eddie shows up in his apartment, very much alive.

    Summary

    Steve was an extremely heavy sleeper when he was with you. It wouldn’t surprise the man to see you reading at your desk or braiding friendship bracelets when you had that arts n’ crafts phase a couple years ago. So when you started moving in your sleep, something you never do, Steve felt his body wake up in an instant.

    His eyes were having trouble fully opening themselves as he could hear faint whimpering sounds coming from you and slight movements near his thigh. It was enough to turn his head to the left to see what was wrong. But nothing was wrong per se. If anything this was right out of a fantasy he has had millions of times before.

    It was all thanks to the little novel you were reading before bed. Where the cover depicted a prince who was locked in an embrace with an ethereal being - a position so similar to what you two were in now. He couldn't help but wonder what exactly was in the contents of this book that made you moan so beautifully next to him under the moon's rays seeping through the window curtains.

    Summary

    “You’ve given up on relationships, but you still believe in true love. And the pain of never finding it is unbearable.”

    The words lingered. Loudest when Munch was alone, when the silence proved them right. He dismissed them. Still did.

    Didn’t change the facts.

    Empty bed. Quiet apartment. A history of almosts and endings that all felt the same.

    Alone. Cynical. Still, against his better judgment, hopeful.

    Until, slowly, that weight began to ease. Curiosity first. Then something warmer. Quieter. Enough to soften the edges… And, occasionally, shut him up.

    The reason?

    You.
