[ they're both tactile people so the hand holding and running? that's find with eddie all around, they both fall into it.
eddie helps push that shelf over. he's not strong, no steve harrington, but he's got upper body strength and adrenaline going for him. plus, he's got more muscle on him than chrissy so he's doing the majority of the pushing. not that he minds. eddie keeps moving after that, if only because otherwise he's sure he'll have another panic attack. it's been nearly a month and it doesn't get easier. how the fuck did the kids do it?
the backroom's poorly lit and after they move the shelf, eddie scrambles around to see if he can find anything like a flashlight in the small desk or in any of the shelves that line the walls. eventually he has to give up, sits down along the wall beside chrissy and pulls his lighter out of his pocket to light it. so they have the flame between them until their eyes adjust. ] Fuck.
I think-- I think it's okay for now. [ maybe if he says it with a bit of bravado, channeling someone other than himself, he'll believe it. he lets out a breath, reaches to wrap an arm around chrissy because there's safety in that. ]
