No, because then you'll never fucking do it. [ he blows a smoke ring, grinning lazily. ] I'm sharing the shit I like with you. Common interests. Friendship.
And in exchange you can haul my ass to the gym once in a blue moon.
[He's lighter with the proposition of a project, bouncing on his feet as he steps away from the sink and crosses back over to the couch. He grabs Eddie's hand, grins wide - ] Pain is gain, baby, [and it's hard to say if that's a promise or a threat, but whatever. He will give this boy MUSCLE. STAMINA.
It's a bit of emotional whiplash, obviously. One extreme to this. Still, it's better than crying on Eddie's shoulder. ]
[He sits back, goes back to his comfortable sprawl, all thigh and head tilted back. Maybe he feels better. Maybe. ] I should be saying that you. How's your squat game with that prosthetic?

Can't say I've been testing it.
no subject
[He's thinking. He knows sweet fuck all about amputation or recovery, but he figures some movements will hurt. Much to consider. ]
Does it hurt?
no subject
[ he takes another drag of his cigarette. ]
Moshing on it was not the smartest choice.
no subject
[He makes a little grabby hand for the cigarette. A little bratty, maybe. ]
When I first started working out I nearly killed myself with a barbell. Harrington'll kill me if I nearly kill you too.

[He doesn't. Maybe. Steve still has that very appealing quality of being cute when he's on a tangent -]
Is this gonna be weird for us.
no subject
[ he takes a drag, shutting his eyes a moment. ]
Not unless you try to hurt him. [ he blows the smoke out the side of his mouth. ] But I don't think that's your game anymore.
no subject
[The verbal fights are like his limit right now. ] And, you know.
no subject
[ his smile forms. ]
Just don't drop back to any highschool bully shit and you and me are gonna get on like a wildfire.
