    Summary

    “I think I’m stuck.”

    Eddie laid his hand over the strings of his guitar to stop the cord, leaning over the edge of the bed to look down at him.

    “Metaphorically,” Steve clarified.

    “I’m gonna need a little more than that, baby.”

    Steve sighed, leaning back against the edge of the bed. “I don’t want to work minimum wage or climb the corporate ladder or whatever, I want… I want something that makes me feel the way you do when you’re on stage. I want to feel like it means something that I’m still kicking.”

    “What do you want to do?”

    “You’re gonna laugh.”

    “You planning on becoming a comedian?”

    “Eds.”

    “Stevie.”

     

    Soulmate AU where soulmarks don't turn until the person actually loves you, rather than upon meeting. Unturned marks are just ink until the person who loves you touches them and turns them into bright, colorful tattoos. Or a character study on Steve, the people he loves, and the people who love him.

    Summary

    “Come to ask for an autograph?” Eddie asked.

    “Was it an original?”

    “You don’t recognize Sabbath? Black Sabbath? Ozzy Osbourne?”

    Altar boy tilted his head to one side like a confused puppy.

    “That’s devastating, altar boy.”

    “Steve.”

    “Huh?”

    “My name’s Steve, incase you feel like serenading some more, and, uh, I’m not an altar boy.”

    “No?” Eddie’s eyes flicked over him. “You look like one.”

    “I’m surprised you’d know, I doubt you’ve ever stepped foot inside a church.”

    “And what? You’re gonna change that for me?”

    Steve let out an amused exhale. “I suppose no one’s past saving, but you might be a close call.”

    “Lucky for you, I didn’t ask for saving. Long live the devil, baby.”
