Steve’s absolutely the kind of guy to go for exposure therapy. As a stress response to getting pulled through watergate, nearly every night Steve’s been going for nightswims, trying to force himself to not be scared. One night the car doesn’t start, and soaking wet in the autumn wind Steve has to start walking home. Eddie’s on the way back from a drug deal when he spots him on the side of the road. Steve’s nearly hypothermic, and having a bit of a delayed onset panic attack. Eddie ends up pulling over so he can snuggle Steve in the back of the van.
