“Wayne? Are you still up? I thought you were planning on getting an early night,” Eddie shouted, followed by the rustling of him shedding his jacket.
“Turns out I’m not done taking in strays,” Wayne called back.
“Is it another damn cat?” Eddie shouted, “you know I can't do cats, man, my eyes go all red and puffy and I swear one of these days I’m actually going to scratch my way through my eyeball, how will you feel then, huh? Will it be worth it? Will you- wait, Steve?”

“Mind telling me why you’re freezing your ass off out here at the ass-crack of dawn?” Wayne asked him, secretly pleased to see a small quirk of a smile appear at the corners of Steve’s lips.
“I didn’t want to wake Eddie,” Steve admitted.
“That doesn’t really answer my question, Son, but I’ll give you a momentary pass otherwise you might actually freeze to that step,” Wayne said, reaching over him to unlock the door and push it open, “get your ass in there.”

Summary
“It’s colder than a banker’s heart on foreclosure day out there,” Wayne called out as he returned to the trailer after almost an hour of fiddling with the Mayfield’s dodgy boiler that the landlord was refusing to mend because ‘was it really that bad?’.
Wayne was surprised that Eddie wasn't responding but he quickly realised why when he turned around and saw his nephew standing there with what must have been three jackets, a scarf, two hats and multiple pairs of mismatched gloves on.
“Fuck,” Wayne muttered, looking over him.
“Steve isn't home yet,” was all Eddie said and Wayne noticed that he was holding his van keys in his overly gloved hand.
“Son…” Wayne trailed off, unable to bring the words into reality that they both knew were on his mind. That it was too dangerous, that his van wouldn't make it out of the trailer park, that he wouldn't be able to see the road, that there was no way he’d be any use to Steve going out there.
