[ Steve finally notices the cigarette as an invitation rather than just another one of Eddie's gestures. He didn't think the guy liked him enough to share, but maybe being stuck here together means that he's going to warm up to a friendly face a lot faster even if it's the face of former King Steve.
Taking the cigarette between two fingers, he lifts it to tag a drag, holds it in his lungs, and then sighs it back out. He considers himself lucky that he does cough it up since it's been a while since he last smoked. ] Thanks, I'll grab my own while we're out so I don't have to keep bumming off you.
[ Another drag and he offers it back to Eddie with a smile that's both thankful and self-deprecating. He appreciates that Eddie is trying to make him feel better, but Steve doesn't necessarily need it; he knows his strengths and his weaknesses. ] Yeah, we're just lucky I can recognize that kid's condescending tone a mile away.
It's all yours. [ eddie waves a dismissive hand and then moves to pull out another cigarette from the pack he's got squirreled away in his jacket. ] This place isn't against us smoking, apparently.
[ weapons are on the out but there's definitely still ways to kill themselves. slowly, he guesses. somehow that thought is a lot more fucked up. ] That's a skill, Harrington.
One that saved my ass so I'm going to be grateful. [ it kept him alive longer and while eddie's aware that it's not for long, the part where things go downhill for him aren't really steve harrington's fault at all. ]
