#neither know shit about the sport but only Nance will yell at the ref for not calling a foul

Eddie and Nancy supporting Steve and Robin playing soccer is fantastic because of course they don’t care about. It feels like a great time for them to sit and catch up though; I just feel like there’s so much to bond over. And? How does Eddie react if Steve uses his head to hit the ball? I know it’s just a ball but I’m worried about Steve’s head! Thank you again for this world <3

I love the thought of Steve showing Eddie all this equipment he bought for this random summer soccer league that him and Robin decided the join. Eddie just takes it all in even though he doesn’t know anything about soccer and doesn’t really want to learn.

“Okay, so that protects down here,” He says, gesturing to Steve’s legs. He then gestures to Steve’s face, “What about up here?”

Steve’s just like, “Oh, I bought these protective glasses but I’ll probably just wear contacts.”

“No, I mean,” Eddie gestures even higher up on Steve’s head. “Shin guards, right? Protects the shins. What’s protecting all of that?”

“My hair?”

“Your skull.”

“It’s soccer, Ed,” and if that means something, Eddie does not know what it is. “Unless you’re the goalie, it’s all below the waist.”

“…Are you the-“

“I’m not the goalie.”

So Eddie doesn’t love it but he’ll accept it. He liked it better when Steve played baseball with the teachers from school because baseball players have helmets but it’s just soccer, right. Not like it’s football or MMA.

Then Eddie goes to the first game and watches Steve use his head to stop a ball and just *internally screams*
