   Summary

   There’s silence again, save for the faint breeze and crickets chirping in the brush ahead of Eddie.

   Something plastic hits the ground. Steve mumbles, “Fuck.”

   Actually, scratch that. Eddie has no idea what the Hell is going on.

   The sound of Steve’s cursing nearly snaps Eddie out of his dread; its vice-grip loosening ever so slightly as Eddie presses his palm against his mouth, suppressing a laugh. Steve’s just so fucking goofy that he’s fumbling through trying to end his own almost-relationship. It makes Eddie feel a bit delirious.

   There’s some vague shuffling from Steve, before something fucking weird happens.

   The first thing Eddie notices is the clack of a cassette falling into a slot. A twinkling piano begins to fade in, single notes wandering into full on chords. Then, Billy fucking Joel starts to sing.

   (or: steve resolves a lover's quarrel in a completely reasonable and super suave manner.)
