The Easiest Thing (I’ve Ever Done)
Had an idea. I don’t know if it’s anything, or if it makes any sense, but I like it. I hope y’all do too!
The camera’s shaky, moving from Eddie trying to place his phone down, making sure to keep his face in frame. “Baby,” he sings, looking off-camera. “Would you peel me an orange?”
A slight pause before, “Hypothetical or literal?”
Eddie blinks. “Uh. Literal?”
“How many do you want?”
Eddie gapes. “Just- just like that? No teasing? Nothing about me being capable? Nothing at all?”
“It’s an orange, babe. ‘S not like me carrying you out of-”
Eddie scrambles for his phone, and the video cuts off.
It picks up again later. They’re in the living room now, and Eddie’s filming Steve, who had just asked him a question. “Say it again.”
“Say-?”
“The question you just asked me. Ask me again.”
Steve gestures to the TV. “We just watched 50 First Dates, Eds, I don’t think it’s crazy of me to ask if you’d do that for me.”
“Stevie. Baby. Light of my life. Look me in my eyes and ask me again. But before you do, think about two years ago when you got a concussion and the resulting short-term amnesia.”
Steve closes his eyes and leans his head back with a groan. “I’m an idiot.”
“Are not,” Eddie says hotly, and the video cuts off again.
It picks up again later. It’s dark in the room, and Eddie’s got his finger to his lips, as if he’s telling the audience to be quiet. “Say that again, baby?”
Steve mumbles something unintelligible, then, “The elephant’s back.”
“Yeah? What’s it doing?”
The camera moves to focus on Steve’s face. He’s clearly still asleep, even as he frowns. “He’s proposing. ‘S my job.”
“Your job?”
“Mhm. ‘M gonna do it.” Another frown. “Screw you, elephant.”
The camera jumps to Eddie, who’s got a hand covering his mouth. The video cuts off again.
It picks up again later. Eddie’s in the same position as the first part of the video. There’s background sounds—rushing water and clanking porcelain—that means Steve’s washing dishes.
“I feel like you’re mad at me.”
The clanking stops. The water shuts off. “What?”
Eddie shrugs. “You’ve been kinda tense ever since I got home.”
“Baby,” Steve whispers. “No. No, I’m not mad at you. I’m so sorry I made you feel that way. I’ve just got a lot in my head right now.”
Eddie nods. “Can I help?”
Steve hums. “You can listen.”
Eddie smiles. “I can do that.”
“Okay, cool.” The water turns back on. “So I was talking to Robin earlier-”
The video cuts off again.
It picks up again later. They’re back on the couch, but this time Steve’s engrossed in a book, lips silently moving as he reads. “Baby.”
“Hm?”
“You mouth the words to yourself when you read.”
Steve flushes scarlet. “Shuddup.”
“No!” Eddie laughs. “No, I love it! It’s adorable!”
“You don’t.” He sniffs, but does nothing to hide the smile on his face. “It’s not.”
“It is,” Eddie argues back, camera jumping around as he shifts to sit up. “And I’ll prove it.”
“Yeah? How?”
“Uh. That part I don’t know yet. But I’ll figure it out!”
“Mhm.” Steve’s lips twitch up at the corners.
“I’m serious.”
“Mhm.”
“I love every part of you.”
Steve’s smile softens into something lovesick. “I know.”
“Especially the parts you don’t like.”
Steve groans and covers his face with the book, and Eddie chuckles as he turns the camera off.
The last time it picks up, Steve’s the one setting it up. “Babe?” He calls.
“Yeah?”
“Would you love me if I was a worm?”
“If you were a worm?”
“Yeah. Would you love me.”
Eddie walks into frame to grab Steve’s hands and hold them. “My darling,” he murmurs, “I fall more in love with you every day. It’s the easiest thing I’ve ever done and the easiest decision I’ll ever make. And I make it every day, I have for years now. If you were a worm, I’d build you the best little worm house. I’d do all the research and find out what you can eat, and I’d always have that. I’d learn to speak worm so I could talk to you.” He lifts one of Steve’s hands to his lips. “If you were a worm? Baby, I’d love you more than any worm’s ever been loved before.”
“Oh,” Steve squeaks.
Eddie presses a brief kiss to his lips before pulling away. “Why don’t you turn the camera off and come join me upstairs?”
Steve gapes even as he reaches for his phone. “You absolute asshole-”
“I meant every word, baby. Let me show you how much?”
Steve flounders, and the video cuts off for the last time.

I'm a little bored, so here's an unnecessary:
List Of Duos I'd Like To See Fight/Interact In JJK :D
Hiromi Higuruma and Nanami Kento (my two handsome men in suits! They would have been best friends if Gege was someone nice T-T)
Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki (UNFAIR WE DON'T HAVE THEM TWO FIGHTING TOGETHER!!!! IF NOBARA IS ALIVE, SHE NEEDS TO FIGHT MEGUMI AGAINST SOME KENJAKU SHIT)
Choso Kamo and Aoi Todo (YUJI'S BROTHERS FIGHTING TOGETHER FOR THEIR WELL-BEING!!!)
Yuta Okkotsu and Hakari Kinji (I SWEAR! These two need to fight together! The two strongest after Satoru Gojo need to battle together!!!!)
Suguru Geto and Megumi Fushiguro (shikigami/curse users who are not afraid to mix it up in battle, fierce when it comes to protecting the ones they love, they would have insane battle chemistry!!!!)
Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto (A flashback, new scene, filler, I don't make the rules. I just want to see what the two of them would be like fighting together T-T)
Megumi Fushiguro and Choso Kamo (YES!!!! CHOSO WOULD LOVE HIM, I'M SURE!!!! JUST LOOK AT THE WAY CHOSO PLAYS HIS HAND ON MEGUMI'S SHOULDER AND MEGUMI EASILY ACCEPTS IT)
Hiromi Higuruma and Nobara Kugisaki (THE KING AND PRINCESS OF HAMMERING!!!! THEY ARE AWESOME AS FATHER AND DAUGHTER!!!)
Yuta Okkotsu and Maki Zenin (I KNOW THEY ALREADY FIGHTED TOGETHER IN JJK 0 BUT I WANT TO SEE THEM AGAIN NOW!!! I WANT TO SEE THEM KICKING MEAN ASS AND BEING AMAZING TOGETHER!!!)
In terms of interaction, the ones I most wanted to see were:
Tsumiki Fushiguro and Yuji Itadori (She would love him, no one can deny that. Gege, you took away the gold we could have had! Megumi deserved to see the two most important people in his life together!)
Hiromi Higuruma and Ieiri Shoko
Suguru Geto and Nanami Kento (It's so unfair that I didn't see them have more interactions besides that morgue scene)
Satoru Gojo and Hakari Kinji and Kirara Hoshi (I'm interested in how Satoru would be a teacher to his rebellious students)
Fumihiko Takaba and Ryoumen Sukuna (can't deny this would be funny)
