[ It's weird. Never not gonna be, walking between Eddie and Billy, of all people, and he misses Robin something fierce for her ability to ramble aimlessly and keep conversations going past the point of their death. Steve keeps his hands to himself as they walk, stuffed in the pockets of his coat, laying out their options for where to go if they get tired of the bar with a heavy metal themes (only he may grow tired of it, he's starting to realise in grim self-awareness) when Eddie starts hanging back to look into a nerdy shop near closing time.
He takes a picture of the place's storefront with his phone (fucking wizardry right there) so that he can find it later once they're on the other side of drunk, then as he beckons to Eddie to hurry up he keeps his arm out and slides it around him to reel the guy into his side, a seamlessly natural move that says come back here, to me. When he belatedly notices what he's doing, aka resting his hand in the small of Eddie's back in front of Billy, he drops it to hide back in his own coat pocket. ]

It's not far to go, ten minutes maybe.
