A Wayne๐งต cw tiny injury
The first time Wayne holds his nephew is in the sterile humidity of a hospital room.
Louise is propped up on a mountain of pillows, sweat slicked curls cling to her skin. Her eyes follow Wayne as he paces the room, her precious boy cradled in his arms.
Nothing humbles me quicker than when Iโm trying to find articles to support my argument in an assignment and I just casually lose the ability to comprehend English.
thinking about Wayne Munson holding his teeny tiny nephew in his hands, those chubby lil baby fingers clinging to his lone large one, cooing to that baby, "You're gonna take em by storm huh lil Ed,"
Wayne stoic by Eddie's hospital bed, holding those same hands, storm over.
Woke up with the thought of what if Steve paid for the headstone. What if he's so riddled with guilt because he couldn't bring Eddie's body back. He hadn't been strong enough, had been so focused on getting Dustin and the girls out. So he buys the headstone knowing Wayne
Sometimes Eddie looks at Steve peacefully napping and can't believe his luck. Doesn't want to wake him up, but he won't sleep at night otherwise if he doesn't (and if he gets to hear first row the pretty sleepy noises Steve makes, that's nobody's business)
