12. Lie
Eddie didn't like to lie. First because it was something really against what he believe to be right and good. If he couldn't tell someone something, he probably shouldn't be doing it. Second, he was terrible at it.
That time, though, it was for a good cause. Mr. Allen, Barry's dad was coming to town and he wanted to make a surprise. The only reason Eddie knew before time was because the man was still a little anxious around cops, for what Joe told him. So he had to sit quiet and not tell his boyfriend something that would make him really happy.
That was hard, to say the least. Not only because Barry was obviously on to him, but because it was something that would made Barry smile. And Eddie loved Barry smile and how his eyes shinned and his mouth opened up and the sound.
"Your father is coming to town." He confessed, half embarrassed because Barry didn't do barely anything. "Please, don't tell Joe I told you."
