Eddie couldn't really do anything but gawk as Jamie thundered up the steps and threw himself down onto the loveseat, burrowing under Eddie's blanket and snuggling in close.

"Hi," Eddie echoed breathlessly, his usual squawk more of a rough whisper. Arms snaking around Jamie's back, Eddie rested his cheek on the top of Jamie's head. Looking down, he caught a glimpse of the big, thick fingers and hairy knuckles of his own hands gripping Jamie's coat.

"Ugh, this is still weird," he muttered, mostly to himself.
