    Summary

    Eddie has a surprising amount of muscle definition going on in the forearm region. Jamie has witnessed, on four separate occasions, someone do a double take at Eddie’s forearm. Karen from HR still bears the nickname ‘Mugbreaker’ after Eddie turned the corner near her office, coming face to face with her just as he rubbed a hand through the hair at the nape of his neck, exposing the wiry flex of muscle between wrist and elbow, and Karen famously dropped a cup of coffee all over the floor. Ergo, either Eddie goes to the gym, or he’s on steroids.

    Eddie is the kind of man who keeps a makeshift itemised medicine cabinet in his third desk drawer, with a padlock on the handle, the key for which he keeps in the inside pocket of his suit jacket, and who administers a library style check-out system of medication whenever anyone asks for a Paracetamol.

    Eddie is probably not on steroids.

    Eddie's coworker finally convinces him to bring his elusive spouse to an office party. It goes about as well as you might expect, which is to say spectacularly.

    Summary

    Summary

    “Marcus is my ex-boyfriend,” Eddie explained.
    The guy laughed. “Shit. Really?” Eddie nodded. “You guys must have split on pretty good terms.”
    “Hm, I don’t know. I wouldn’t invite him to my wedding.”
    “Why’d you come then?”
    “Open bar.”
    The man looked up again and when the curls fell out of his face Eddie’s eyes moved from the photographer’s jaw over his cheeks to his eyes. He was smiling at Eddie and the corners of his eyes wrinkled adorably when he did so. Maybe he didn’t have to be miserable and lonely tonight after all.

    [Eddie goes to his ex-boyfriend's wedding and it sucks until he meets Richie. Shenanigans and devastatingly honest talks ensue.]

    Summary

    He didn’t know what he expected to see when he barged into the room, but Eddie hooked up to a thousand beeping machines and smiling brightly at him wasn’t it. Richie skidded to a stop in the doorway, nearly causing a pile up behind him. His breath caught inside his chest at the sight of Eddie, his hair a riotous mess and his doe eyes wide and glassy. 

    “Hey, guys,” Eddie said when he saw them. There was a nurse tinkering with one of the machines beside him.

    They ignored her and huddled around Eddie’s bed. Richie stood near the back corner and drank in the sight of him. He squeezed his hands together and bit the inside of his cheek to keep himself from crying. Again. Jesus.

    Summary

    Oh, how I meant to tease him
    Oh, how I meant no harm
     
    Adolescence is hard enough. Throw in traumatic clown experiences and realizing you're in love with your best friend, well, that definitely doesn't make Richie's life any easier.
