He never deserved you

This is a kind of a long fic but I've been gone so long I wanted to give a long and more detailed story lol. I can either do a part two or if anyone has any suggestions, my inbox is open!

Summary: For a couple of months, you had been dating Jason carver until you realized what a douche he was. You never realized ending things with him would help you fall for another. Someone you didn't expect.

Angst, cussing, mentions of smoking

🖤🖤

The 6 AM alarm that suddenly went off, blaring in your eyes jolted you out of your sleep reminding you that it was time to get ready for yet another day of school. You really needed to find a different alarm. Waking up terrified was not the best way to start your day but on the bright side, at least it woke you up. You groaned slightly and rubbed your eyes trying to get the sleep out of them before you turned on the lamp on your nightstand. You squinted at the bright light that filled the room as your eyes tried to adjust from the pitch black they were just in.

Removing the covers off your body, you stood up and grabbed the clothes that you placed on your desk chair the night before, thankful you didn’t have to dig through your drawers to find something. You yawned as you walked into the bathroom that connected to your bedroom and began to get ready.

The outfit was simple. Skinny jeans and a black sweater that fell off one side of your shoulder because of it being just a size bigger than what you’d normally wear. Or maybe it was just like that. Who knows? After placing your hair into a messy bun, you headed downstairs and was grateful when you saw your mom had already brewed some coffee and made you a cup. “Oh thank you. I’m so exhausted today.” Having enough time before you had to leave, you sat down in the kitchen chair across from your mom who was reading the daily paper.

She looked up and set the paper down, leaning her head on her hand. “You’re welcome. Did you not sleep?” You sipped on it and squinted your eyes in concentration. “No I did. I don’t know. Just one of those days I guess.” She nodded and cleared her throat, leaning back in her chair. “Feel that. Well hopefully that coffee will get you through the day. You’re almost done with junior year. Just a couple of more weeks to go. I want you to focus okay?”

You nodded and gave a quick smile. “I will I promise. Finals are the last week of school. I’ve been studying like crazy trying to prepare. I can’t wait for summer.” You rubbed the side of your head and sighed before standing up and washing the mug out then placing it in the sink. “I know the feeling. Just- please don’t let him distract you. Jason, I mean. Boys are not worth more than your future.”

You turned around and leaned on the counter and gave your mom a far off look. “I know that. And I know how you feel about Jason and before you saying anything-“ her mom had opened her mouth to say object. “I know. I’m going to end it soon with him. He’s being an ass lately and hasn’t been treating me right anyways.” She scrunched her eyes brows. “He isn’t hurting you is he? Cause I will-“

“No no! Of course not. I just- he just says things that make me feel unimportant and distant from everyone. I just don’t wanna deal with it. After him, I’m hoping to stay away from boys for a bit.” Your mom smiled. “Good. You deserve better and thank god you’re getting rid of him. I couldn’t stand him.” You laughed and pushed off the counter. “Oh I’m aware. Alright I gotta go. I don’t want to be late. I love you.” You grabbed your car keys from the bowl in the living room and your backpack from the coat hanger and headed out the door as she was saying it back.

You got into your car and started the engine, shivering at the slight cold that nipped at your body. It had been true though. Jason had been treating you like crap. Telling you to be quiet when you said something or dropping your hand when he was around Chrissy which really pissed you off. You knew it wasn’t Chrissy’s fault but it still got under your skin that he didn’t even try to be subtle that he had feelings for another girl. That was the main reason why you were ending it at school today.

You knew it wasn’t the best thing to do but being in a public space made you more comfortable than if you were alone. It was known he had anger issues and you truly didn’t want to risk it.

As you drove off down the rode to Hawkins high, a million thoughts hit your brain. How would you end it? Where would you do it? Empty classroom? No that’s stupid. Maybe the lunchroom? You didn’t want to embarrass him. That’s not who you were. By the lockers would be good. People were around but no one would be paying attention. Not really. More thoughts invaded your brain pulling you from the Jason subject.

You still needed to study for the history exam and you hadn’t even started the science study guide. There was so much going on and you had no idea how you were managing it all. You took a deep breath to calm down and reminded yourself to take it one day at a time. As soon as Jason was out of your life, it was one less thing to worry about and gave you more of an opportunity to focus on exams. It would be a good thing.

You pulled into the parking lot and parked in a random spot. There weren’t many cars that took up the lot seeing as most people walked from the town being so small. The only cars were a few students and the faculty.

You turned your engine off and grabbed your backpack as you made your way into school, nervous about how the day would go. Walking to your locker, you sighed of relief as you noticed Jason wasn’t there yet giving you time to mentally prepare. You opened your locker and put in what you didn’t need at the moment and then shut it. As soon as the latch connected, your friend Tara came up to you. “Hey do you have the notes for English? I’m way behind.” You chuckled and shook your head not even surprised. Tara wasn’t really one to pay attention so she was always asking for notes but she was your friend and she meant well so you typically didn’t mind. “Yeah I do. Hold on.” You opened the English folder that you had in your hand and pulled out a couple of papers with notes scattered all over. “Don’t lose these please.” Tara took them gently and smiled. “I won’t. I promise. Thank you . I owe you one, see you later.”

A couple minutes after she walked away, you felt hands wrap around your waist. “Hey babe.” Jason. You felt immediate annoyance and anxiousness. “Hey Jason.” You turned around and backed away from his embrace. He smiled and leaned down to kiss you but you turned your head so his lips made contact with your cheek instead. He furrowed his eyebrows and pulled his head away. “What was that?” You shoved your hands into your sweater and cleared your throat. “We need to talk…” He raised his eyebrows and chuckled. “Okay? About what? Should we go somewhere private?” You shook your head trying to prepare how you were going to say this. “This isn’t working out. I think we need to break up.” The words flew out before you lost the nerve to speak them. Your hand almost flew to your mouth as if you couldn’t believed you had said it but you forced them to stay in your pockets.

“Uhh I really hope you’re just fucking with me.” He laughed humorlessly. You cleared your throat and looked around to make sure no one was paying attention. They weren’t. “No I’m being serious. I’m tired of the way you treat me and it’s clear you like Chrissy so consider it an out. It’s over.” You looked up at him to try to grasp what he was feeling. He stood there, mouth slightly open and eyebrows scrunched as if she had just told him the most absurd thing. You thought for a second he might actually be hurt and feeling something but no he burst out laughing and pointed at you. “You’re breaking up with me? No babe I’m breaking up with you.” You rolled your eyes and took your hands out of your pockets to fix the strays of your hair. “Honestly if that’s what you want to tell people, it genuinely doesn’t matter to me. As long as I’m away from you.” You began to walk away when he grabbed your wrist tightly and yanked you back so you were face to face. Did no one see that?

“Ow Jason let go.” He sneered at you keeping the grip on your wrist. “You think you’re cute but honey I could have anyone in this school I wanted. The amount of girls I have lined up…you mean nothing to me. All I wanted was the sex and you couldn’t even give me that you fucking tease. So good I’m glad we’re over. Good look finding anyone to be with you.”Your eyes prickled with tears but you wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of crying. “Let me go Jason. You’re hurting me.” He pinned you against the locker and gripped your face with his other hand. As soon as he did, he was thrown off by someone and you immediately backed away from Jason.

“I could have sworn she told you to let her go, carver. Laying your hands on women. Not a good thing to do around me.” You looked up at the tall figure and it was none other than Eddie Munson. The one everyone called the freak of Hawkins high. You had only talked to him a couple of times in class but he was a pretty nice guy. Just struggled a bit to keep up like Tara or so people whispered. Rumors over him being held back spread like wildfire.

You were shocked he was defending you considering he really didn’t know you. You instinctively got behind him and he gave you a side glance, not moving. “You can mind your own business freak. We were just having a little moment. No one was hurting anyone so back off.”

Eddie chuckled and shook his head, his curls moving around. “Not what I saw but consider it a warning. For her sake. But next time, I won’t be so nice.” Jason laughed and put his hands up shaking them. “Oh wow I’m so scared. Fuck off Munson. Next time I won’t be so nice. You and that little bitch better watch your backs.” He stormed off, leaving you two in the hallway and a couple of people were staring and murmuring about the commotion. Of course now they notice once Eddie is invovled.

Eddie turned around and looked down at you. Rubbing your wrist, you looked up at him and looked into his eyes. You never noticed how pretty his eyes were. Or just how pretty he was. You and Eddie talked occasinoally in class but you never really became clos mainly because jason forbade it. “Are you okay?” He asked which pulled you from whatever trance you were just in.

You blinked a couple of times and looked around the hallway before meeting his eyes again, the eyes that were still focused on you. “I’m okay. I figured he would have had a reaction like that. Why-why did you help me? We barely know each other." Maybe it was a rude question to ask but really, why would he have all people help you? “I know a lot more about you than you would think. Why are you asking? It can’t be hard to believe that I would help you. Especially from someone like Jason.” He looked a little hurt but the look on his face went away as fast as it had come.

His words struck you in a way you couldn’t comprehend. What did he mean he knew about you? I mean yeah you’ve partnered up to do projects but it never turned into a friendship. Conversations didn’t happen often between you two. What could he possibly know. “No no. I’m sorry. That was rude of me. Forget I asked. Thank you for defending me.” Being flustered around Eddie Munson was definitely not on your list of things to expect for the year. “No problem sweetheart. If he bothers you again, don’t be afraid to tell me. You know where to find me.” He winked and walked off giving you no chance to respond. Did he mean at the hellfire club? Or the lunchroom? Or the several classes you shared? You let out a sharp breath and blinked a couple of times trying to make sense of everything when the loud shrilling bell sounded. “Crap I’m late. Munson.” You muttered and ran off towards your first class of the day.

🖤🖤

After school, you were grabbing your things from your locker when tara came up next to you and shut the locker causing you to jump and let out a gasp. "what the hell tara? I'm glad my hand wasn't still there." She gave a slight eyeroll and then a pointed look. "I made sure you were done. You did not tell me that you were breaking up with Jason. I would have thrown a goddamn party. And what the hell was that with eddie munson today? I have literally never seen you have a full conversation with him outside of a classroom? What's the tea miss girl because you nelgected to fill me in at all and-" You cut her off mid rant and laughed slightly, one at the jab at jason and two at the enthusiasm of wanting to know everything all the time.

"I didn't tell you about Jason because I had literally been trying to work up courage all week to end it and I didn't want to lose the confidence to do it. As for Eddie, Jason was being kind of aggresive and he defended me..." Tara's mouth dropped as she leaned against the lockers. "The freak of hawkins high defened a popular kid? Whaaaa? He must like you." She giggled and rubbed her hands together. You rolled your eyes and started walking down the hallway towards the exit, tara hot on your heels. "First, I am hardly popular. More by assoication and that's gone for sure. Second, don't call him that. He's actually really....sweet and he definitely doesn't like me." You pushed open one side of the double doors and walked out into the parking lot heading to your car. "Sweet? I'm sorry. Where exactly did your sense go? This is the guy who stands on top of tables and yells at people who look at him the wrong way."

You turned to face her as soon as you reached the drivers side of your car. "No he yells at Jason. Big difference. I just think he's misunderstood, that's all. So what? He defened me from my jerk ex boyfriend. I doubt we'll ever talk again. He was just being a decent person." Tara scoffed and crossed her arms. "So he didn't say anything else after he defended you? It just happened and what? He walked away?"

You weren't sure if you should tell her the other part just because you knew how it sounded and Tara would totally take it a whole different way but you did want another opinion. "I thanked him and he told me that I knew where to find him if Jason ever messed with me..." You avoided eye contact after the words came out and she squealed, grabbing your arm. And there it is and here we go. "He is so into you. Look he may not be someone I would date and he may be weird as fuck but he's hot as shit. I would support you. Much better than carver." She made a throw up motion. "Tara, I extremely doubt he is into me. We barely talk outside of class like you said. Where would he have had time to gain a crush on me?" Tara shrugged and went to say something when her attention got diverted to something across the parking lot. "Can we talk later? Josh is here. Love you bye." Before you even had the chance to respond, she was halfway across the parking lot to catch up with her boyfriend. Typical Tara.

As you were unlocking your car, you felt eyes on you and looked around to see if it is maybe just paranoia from the events this morning when you caught Eddie leaning against his own car smoking a ciggirate, glancing at you. You made eye contact with him for a couple of seconds before he slightly smirked, put out his cig on the ground using his boot to snuff it and drive off in his car. Flustered, you got in your own car and drove home trying to process the days events.

Why had he smirked at you? Was he judging or had Tara been right about him having feelings for you? But it didn't make sense because in order to like someone, you would have to know them. You knew nothing about eddie munson and he definitely knew nothing about you, or did he? You let out a heavy sigh and forced yourself to focus on the road.

As soon as you got home, you went straight to your room and started studying. You had already gotten rid of one boy, you certainly didn't need to think about another, especially from one interaction. What is wrong with you? Pulling out all of your notebooks, you were determined to distract your mind when you notcied your english notes weren't returned. Tara. You shook your head and gave a soft chuckle as you opened your history notes and started to go through them. History was your favorite subject so it wasn't difficult for you to remember lessons from it. You went through pretty fast and studied half of your science notes as well before you crashed from exhasution. Thoughts of school, eddie, and jason fled from your brain as sleep took over your body.

Thankfully your alarm was set to wake you up at the same time everyday on weekdays because you slept the rest of the day and through the night until it was time for school again. When you were fully awake, you turned off the alarm and noticed the lights had been turned off and a blanket was pulled over you seeing as you were on top of your comforter. Your mom must have come in late last night to check on you.

Your morning routine stayed the same and soon enough, you were back at school and in your first class. Anxiousness filled your body as you realized you would more than likely have to see Jason today. After his outburtst yesterday, you weren't sure if he would leave you alone or not. You could take Eddie up on his offer but the truth was you didn't need protection or help. You could handle yourself and if anything, it would be tara beating his ass.

Your name being called from the roster pulled you from your thoughts and you muttered a 'here'. First class was homeroom so it was more like a free period. Most teachers let you do whatever you wanted in homeroom as long as you didn't get too loud. But today the teacher wanted you to get in pairs to discuss finals and assignments so you were on the right track.

You suddenly remembered eddie was in this class and subtly turned your head to see if he was there and sure enough he was in the same seat. Before yesterday you typically wouldn't have cared where he was considering he was just like any other student but after what he did for you, it was like you wanted to know more about him. His eyes met yours and raised his eyebrows up. "Wanna be partners?" You flushed and stammered a bit before clearing your throat. "Uh yeah sure." You hadn't expected that, not this early and soon. But you would humor it. What's the worst that could happen? Just as you were about to move, he got up and sat in the chair next to you. He had nothing with him but a notebook and a pencil. You were slightly confsued as to where he kept all of his work but that wasn't really important right now.

Before talk about finals and school, you had something else you wanted to discuss with him. "I wanted to thank you again for yesterday. I don't know if you were the only one to notice but you were the only person who did something." He breathed out heavily but not out of annoyance or stress, it was more like he was thinking about what you said and the events that took place just yesterday morning. "It was really no problem. Just did what I knew was right."

For some reason, that comment upset you in a way. Almost as if what had happened wasn't important or just simply not enough to talk about. But maybe he just didn't know what to say so you changed the subject. "I did have a question though. What did you mean when you said you knew more about me than I thought you did?"m The question had been presenting itself in your brain since yesterday. He half smiled and cleared his throat, tapping his pencil on the desk. ""It means that I watch you or observe, yeah that's less creepy." The admittance shocked you. What was so interesting about you? "Word flies fast in this god forskaen school. Just so happens people talk good about you and we've talked a handful of times. Let's just say Carver never desevred you." You felt unsure on how to take that comment in considering it had been said with such respect and genuineness but also not something you expected from the "bad boy".

"Thank you. That means a lot." You decided to go with the simple but grateful response and tried to move on beofore the awkwardness set in. "Um, so did you want to compare notes ? I'm so stressed for the finals." He gave you a look you couldn't comprhend that laid between awe and humor. "You really are a good girl aren't you?" You blinked a couple of times trying to understand whre he was going with that question. "I'm not sure what you mean. I just want to pass. Don't you?" He sighed and leaned his head onto his hand. "Well of course but I'm too far behind. The finals would let me pass though if I got just a good enough grade but I doubt it." So the rumors were true. He really didn't do school work that often but why? There was another question that had always kept you curious. "Did you get held back?" The words left your lips before you could fully process it. Your hand instinctively went over your abrasive mouth. "I'm so sorry. I have no idea why I just said that." He chuckled and shrugged, leaning forward. "it's not a secret sweetheart. Yes I did. No reason to hide it. Is that a problem?"

You shook your head, mouth parting slightly before speaking. "No no! Of course not. It's honestly none of my business. Look, I have notes for every class to help me study for the finals. Did you maybe want me to help you study for the next couple of weeks so you have a chance to pass?" He stared at you, a puzzled look crossing his face. "you would do that? Won't your reputation be ruined?" The comment felt like a slap to the face and went a whole different direction from the conversation that was just had, the dissappointment flooding your body. "I don't have a reputation and even if I did, that went over a cliff the moment I ended it with my mentally abusive boyfriend, okay? If you don't want my help, you can just say that." The bell rung at that moment which was perfect timing to make an exit. You gathered your things and got up quickly, trying to leave the classroom before anything else could be said. Maybe Eddie Munson was just like people said after all. What had you said or done to provoke a response like that?

As you reached the doorway, you felt a hand wrap around your wrist causing you to look back. "wait. I'm sorry. That was me being a dick. I-" You pulled your wrist away. "You think?" He pulled you off to the side and looked down at you. "It came off the wrong way. I didn't mean it like that. I just mean that you're a nice girl and people like you and well people don't like me" You sighed and looked at the ground for a couple of seconds before looking him in the eye. "I can make my own decisions and hang out with or help whoever I want. If people had a problem with that, not my issue." He pursed his lips and a look between embarrasment and awkwardness covered his features. "You're right. I shouldn't have said it and I'm sorry. If it's any consolation, I would like your help."

He seemed like he was being sincere and giving him a second chance was something a lot of people neglected to do. Being treated the way he is would cause you to build a wall and that was something you could understand. "Okay fine. But say anything like that again, you can forget it." He gave a wry smile and nodded once. "Duly noted. So where should we meet? Your place?" You shook your head quickly. "No. My mom will question the hell out of you and I would rather not have to endure an iterrogation myself. Either a public place or your place?" You questioned, curiousity peeking at the edges indicating you were wanting to know where he lived.

“I live in a trailer park so not sure if you would want to be somewhere like that.” Confusion took over your features as you took in his words. Was he embarrassed about where he lived? “I’m not one to care or judge where people live? I don’t mind coming to yours.” He blinked and pulled his head back, surprised that you had no hesitation about it. “Oh okay. Well I guess you can come around, say 5?” You nodded and smiled with your lips. “Sounds good. I gotta get to class. Bye Eddie.” You left the room before he could respond and walked quickly to your next class trying to understand how everything was changing around you in just a day.

🖤🖤

The rest of the day went by pretty fast and the classrooms you shared with Eddie were spent talking about a bunch of random things. He was really easy to have a conversation with and it kept your attention. Plus he also happened to be funny and quick with his responses. It was a completely different story than the one people had been telling and it was refreshing to have someone listen to you, really listen to you.

After class, Eddie walked you to your car and stood with you for a couple of minutes just talking. Tara came up, eyes slightly widened as if she was trying to comprehend something. Eddie shifted uncomfortably and gave her a tight lipped smile. “I guess I’ll see you later?” You cursed yourself knowing she was going to question everything as soon as he walked away. “Yeah see you later.” No point in trying to hide it.

As soon as he left ear shot, Tara hit your arm. “Not gonna talk again huh? And see you later? What in the hell does that mean?” You deadpanned and crossed your arms. “You never gave my notes back.” She squinted her eyes in annoyance and grab the notes out of her backpack and handed them to you. “Don’t change the subject. Tell me everything.”

So you did. Every detail was shared including the study partner part and the entire time, Tara was squealing and dropping her jaw at the most mundane information. That’s who she was though. Excited about life and you couldn’t help but love her for it. “Okay that’s a lot to take in. I’m not against it though.” You adjusted your backpack on your shoulder and shifted to your other foot. “I’m so glad I have your approval.” She scoffed and waved her hand in the air, a dismissal. “You know what I mean. I’m glad you’re getting back out there though. Just didn’t expect it to be so soon.”

“Wow. Okay yeah no. Definitely not getting back out there. I’m just helping him study. I am not ready for another relationship.” You admitted. "I am literally just trying to help him get through the rest of the year." She groaned very dramatically and pretended to look intersted in her nails. "Yeah okay. We will just pretend that he doesn't have a massive crush on you and that I don't see you making eyes at him." You made strangly hands at her and made a sound through gritted teeth which got you a concerned look from people around you that were also lingering in the parking lot. "He doesn't have a crush on me and I don't make eyes at him. Yes he's attractive but I just got out of a very toxic relationship and I need to focus on school. Hence why I am helping him focus on school. If something happens to come from it, then it happens. Until then, he is my study partner and...a friend." The conversation didn't last much longer as both of you had to get home. It was getting close to 4 and you needed to be over eddie's place at 5.

Once you got home, you changed into some shorts and a V neck and the time flew by and soon enough you were back in your car headining over to the trailer park. You knew where it was considering Hawkins was a small town and you just so happened to pass it every once in a while. It took about 10 minutes to get there and soon enough, you parked and got out of the car looking around. Nervousness hit you as you saw a couple people outside staring at you, some giving you dirty looks. People like you who had it better than most weren't really welcome around this part of town.

You didn't blame them knowing how people treated the lower class but it still didn't settle the anxiousness creeping up. One guy jumped up and walked over to you, footsteps heavy and a beer bottle in his hand. "What's a pretty little thing like you doing around here? Looking for some trouble?" Your eyes widened and you took a small step back. "N-No of course not. My friend Eddie-" His sharp laugh cut you off. "Eddie Munson? Nah you better go on before trouble finds you." He closed in on you again when you saw Eddie running up and grabbing the mans shoulder. "Dan, it's okay. I invited her here. You okay?" He grabbed your hand and pulled you towards him, walking you away from the scene. "Sorry about him. He-he means well. Most people who come here to see me usually start shit."

Although you were still a little shaken up, you nodded and let him lead you into his trailer. "it's okay. I understand. He has a right to be catious." You looked around his place and it was actually really nice in here. Of course it was small but it was cozy and cleaned up well. You noticed the broom and dustpan out and the tied up trash bag and realized he must have been cleaning before you got here. How sweet.

He noticed you looking around and shifted on his feet uncomfortably not knowing what you were thinking. "Well thank you for understanding. It's not...the easiest living around these parts but it does its best. Sorry about the clutter and the smallness of it." He chuckled awkwardly while he fidgeted with one of his rings. "Don't apologize. I like it in here." You shrugged off your backpack and sat down on the couch and took in everything around you. He only had a couple of picutre frames up with him and what looked like his dad or maybe uncle? There were a couple of coasters scattered around and a couple of random objects. A dice, an empty glass, and a notebook. You felt the cushions shift and you looked over to see that he had sat next to you. "Thanks." He smiled softly. You nodded and pulled your backpack into your lap, digging some contents out. "Of course. Um I was thinking we could start with math since it's the hardest." He agreed and the studying started. It was rough at first because he was a lot further behind than you thought but he started to get the hang of it after about an hour of explaining different things. Between snack breaks and time outs, it was going pretty smoothly and he caught on really fast. You had him do a couple of test questions and when he got all but one right, you smiled and high fived him. "I bet that if we do it like this for the other subjects, you'll get a passing grade!"

Eddie's face lit up and he let out a gasp of air that sounded like relief. "I literally cannot thank you enough. I know we still have a ton to do and I know it's taking time away from you but I don't know if i even would have tried if you didn't offer." You gathered all of your things back into your backpack and zipped it up giving a soft smile. "It's really no problem. You helped me so I am returning the favour. I do have to get home though but I'm pretty much free all the time after school so we can do this whenever." He stood up with you and walked you to your car which you appreiacted greatly. "Be safe getting home." He opened your drivers door and shut it after you got in and said, "I will. Thank you." You drove home and thought about how tonight was the first night in a long time that you felt fully free and happy. The smiled that took over your face remained the rest of the car ride home.

🖤🖤

For the next couple of weeks, you helped Eddie study almost everyday after school until you were positive he was confident in all of the subjects. There were bumps in the road and frustrations in the air but you were patient with him and he was respectful towards you. After the first week and a half of doing this, you started feeling nervous around him which wasn’t something you were used to. He was just so nice and funny and definitely wasn’t bad to look at. You were a little scared of catching feelings considering everything that happened with Jason and also because it hadn’t been that long since the relationship was over. You had talked to Tara about it and for the first time, she actually gave advice that made sense.

She had said “how you feel about someone isn’t something you can control. There’s no time limits or expectations on how soon you can fall for someone. It just happens. I wouldn’t stress about it. You guys are becoming really good friends and if something happens, then it happens. Don’t force it but don’t push it away.”

It helped you think a lot on the situation and she was right. How you were starting to feel about Eddie wasn’t something you could control. Spending time with him and having real conversations had been what set the feelings off in the first place. You were skeptical about if he had feelings for you or not. The way he looked at you and the way he brushed you hair behind your ears. The way he defended you against Jason anytime he tried to make a comment.

It was Sunday and finals started tomorrow. You wanted to help Eddie go over everything one more time to make sure he was prepared. And maybe because you just wanted to see him. You had shown up at his trailed, unannounced. You hoped he wouldn’t be busy or upset but when you knocked and the door opened, he stood there with that beautiful smile on his face. “What are you doing here?” He stepped aside as you walked through the door. “I was wondering if you wanted to go over everything really quick one more time. Sorry I showed up with no warning. I guess I could have called your landline.” He shut the door and ran a hand through his hair. “Oh no it's okay. You're welcome here anytime. You know that. And I would actually really appreciate going over it one more time. My nerves are running high for tomorrow but I think I’ll pass.” You smiled and shrugged your jacket off, laying it across the back of his couch. “I know you will. You’re smarter than you give yourself credit for, Eddie Munson.”

He walked over and hovered over you, causing your stomach to flip. “Well you’re more thoughtful than you give yourself credit for. And also smarter.” He chuckled. You grinned and shoved his shoulder. “Oh hush.” Your cheeks turned slightly red and you watched as the smirk grew on his face. He sat down on the couch and his eyes followed you as you took a seat next to him. "I stayed up late the past few nights to make these flashcards so I'm really hoping they work." You chuckled and bit your lip. He smiled and cleared his throat, staring right at you. You tried to focus on the flashcards and the words written on them so you didn't stutter over your words.

You began using the flashcards and you had to admit, they were helping you too. It was actually really fun to go through them and it was def because you were doing it with eddie. It went back and fourth with one person asking the question and the other answering. For some unknown reason, both of you were cracking up at this ridiculousness of it all. You were answering most of them right and when you finally got one wrong, Eddie stood up and pointed. "Ha! You did not get that right!" You gasped and stood up alongside him and grabbed the card from his hand. "What? No way." You looked at the answer and pursed your lips. "I did in fact get that one wrong." He laughed and you flung the card at him. He scoffed and picked it up. "Sore loser."

"mmmm. Pretty sure I got more right than-" Your sentence got cut off as your scream replaced it when eddie suddenly picked you up and flung you over his shoulder. "what was that?" You hit his back and laughed. "Put me down right now!" He walked over to the couch and gently tossed your onto the cushions. You giggled and breathed out, the air blowing some of your hair away from your face. He stood above you, looking down. His smile faded slowly, the look on his face indicating he was deep in thought. "You okay?" You sat up pulling your knees to your chest to give him room to sit which he did. "yeah. I just uh- he never deserved you, you know?" Your lips parted and you shifted on the couch to where you were sitting directly next to him. "Who?" You knew who he was talking about but you wanted to hear him say it. "Jason. He never deserved anything about you and he's an idiot for not seeing the amazing girl that you are."

"That means a lot. Thank you but where is all this coming from?" He looked down at his rings and played with them for a second then let out a small laugh. He looked back up at you and shook his head. "Fuck it." He grabbed your face with both hands and kissed you. You were taken aback for a second but then reality set in and you kissed him back, making a sound of content. He carressed your cheeks with his thumbs and your hands went into his curls. After about a minute, you both pulled back to get some air. "Wow. That was not what I was expecting." Your fingers grazed over your lips still feeling his own against yours. "If you couldn't tell from that, I really like you. Not just because of all the help you've given me but just getting to know you has been incredible."

You raised your eyebrows. "And here I thought you knew so much about me from observations." He rolled his eyes and grinned. "You know what i mean, you little shit." You giggled and leaned into him causing him to lean back into the couch, your head on his chest. "I just mean the real you. Not the one from the narratives from other people. But I've always had a small crush on you so..." You looked up at him and your mouth dropped. "Oh my god. Tara was right. You were into me."

He had his arm draped over your shoulder, fingers barely touching your skin, a tingly feeling going down your arm. "Yeah yeah. Tara is also an observationist." A small smile was on his face. "Well I was stupid for not truly noticing you." He scrunched his eyebrows and licked his lips. "Nah. Jason had you wrapped around his finger. He was a controlling dick." You pulled your face up and kissed him softly. "None of that was real. That's clear to me now. I don't even think I had real feelings for him. I just thought I did because everyone wanted him and he went after me. You, however, I do have real feelings for."

"Well good because he's gonna be so livid." He laughed which caused you to laugh. "Oh fucking well. According to you, he lost a great girl." He played with your hair and made a sound of agreement. "A very great girl."

The rest of the night was spent just talking and laughing until it got dark and you had to head home for dinner. He had just walked you out to your car and you were standing next to the open drivers door. "I had a great time tonight. We got a lot done and killed two birds with one stone." He grinned and grabbed your wrist, this time you didn't pull away, and pulled you close to him before kissing you, even better than the first one. "Goodnight, sweetheart." You bit your lip and slid into the drivers seat. "Goodnight, Eddie." He shut your door and you drove off, seretonin filling your brain. You had fallen for a boy, the 'freak' of hawkins high. Your mom would flip but it was all worth it and you don't regret one single thing.

ahhhhhh. I had so much trouble writing an ending for this story lol. I have so many other ideas for a part two if that's something anyone would want! I am so sorry I have been gone for so long, I am trying to get back into writing and this is a start!

Speak now (or forever hold your peace) ❤️🤍💙

Summary: just as Henry and Alex were finally figuring out their relationship and what it meant for both of them, Henry was forced to engage in a fake marriage with a girl chosen by the king to uphold their reputation and legacy. What will this mean for the two of them and will the wedding go on or will Alex have the courage to stop it and save their love?

Warnings: cussing, angst, mentions of smut, arguing/fighting

I had so much fun writing this. My friend and I wrote and read through each paragraph together. Some of this isn’t proofread so ignore any grammatical mistakes lol. But I hope y’all love it as much as I did. And please send me requests. I do Alex and Henry, Charlie and nick, Simon and willie.

PART 2 COMING SOON! (The wedding)

💜🤍

I am not the kind of boy who should be rudely barging on a white-veil occasion. But you are not the kind of boy who should be marrying the wrong girl.

August 5th, 2015

Curtains closed, slight sun-slight shining through the cracks of the velvet material just enough to light up the darkness of the room but also enough to conceal their privacy. Alex and Henry were on Henry’s bed in England, just shortly after Alex’s mom won her second 4 year term as president of the United states.

They had all celebrated and Alex had brought Henry to his childhood home in Austin where Ellen had gone to give her speech to try to win over Texas, their hometown. He had shown Henry all the photos, height indentures in the wall, awards he had won while he lived as a middle class citizen, and especially his bedroom where they had made love, which was probably the most meaningful place they had ever done so.

It had been a beautiful night of laughing, cuddling, and deep conversations where they really opened up and shared things that had made them even closer somehow. Alex showing Henry something as sentimental as his home growing up had really broke another part of Henry’s wall down, making it easier for Alex to slip through.

Now they lay there in London , in the comfort of silk sheets and warm skin, fingers slightly grazing over one another, tired eyes meeting and kisses being placed over and over again. Henry deeply sighed but not one of uncomfortableness or stress, but a sigh of content and satisfaction. Alex who had his legs intertwined with Henry’s, looked up at him and smiled slightly. “What?” He said, voice gruff and deep. Henry bit his lip and shook his head, shifting his body a little to face towards him. “I’m just-I’ve accepted this. Not that I haven’t already before but truly accepted this is my life. This is who I am and you’re apart of that.” Alex smirked and placed a kiss on his neck. “Henry being lovey? Who even are you?”

Henry scoffed and feigned hurt, hand going over his heart. “I’m offended that you think I’m not lovey…I happen to be a hopeless romantic so screw you, darling.” Alex’s laughter filled the room and he wrapped his arms around Henry and pulled him closer. “I’m just messing with you baby. You’re very romantic and also good in bed.” Henry raised his eyebrows and absent mindedly drew circles into Alex’s back. “Good in bed huh? And here I thought that you loved me for more than my body.” Alex scoffed and shoved him lightly before pulling him in for a soft kiss. “Don’t you even go there. You know I love you, all of you.” He said after pulling away from him.

Henry raised his lips into a genuine smile and went back into the kiss, this time a deeper, sensual kiss. One that left both of them humming for more. The moment was pulled from them when they heard a knock at the door and the rattling of a door knob. Phillips obnoxious voice rung through the hardwood sending both of them into a panic. “Why in the world is your door locked, Henry?” Alex shot up and pulled on his clothes before throwing himself onto a chair a couple feet away from the bed. Henry quickly put on sweatshirt before yelling back. “Uh-coming. One second!” He stood up and walked towards the door, giving one quick glance at Alex before unlocking it and opening it up seeing Phillip stand there all proper and professional, so basically an asshole.

They still hadn’t come out to anyone. The only people who knew was bea, June, zhara, and Ellen. They were both scared of what coming out would bring them considering they were both in high levels of power in two different countries. The press, friends, family, citizens, fans….it would all be so chaotic. And as much as Alex was worried about it all, Henry was more terrified of the situation given his royal status. So they decided to keep quiet and stay in their own little world just for a while longer.

“What’s up?” Henry said, hoping that Philip would say what he needed to say and move on, leaving them alone for the night. Phillip cleared his throat and shot his eyes over to Alex who was sitting in the chair, arms crossed and focused on the conversation. Alex shifted uncomfortably noticing the daggers coming his way. Henry cleared his throat which brought back his attention and Phillip nodded once. “The king has requested both you and Alex in his office, now. Said it was a pressing matter.” Henry scrunched his eyebrows, nerves already starting to bunch up at the ominous sentence as alex stood up from the chair and made his way over to the two brothers. “Why Alex?”

Phillip rolled his eyes, clear annoyance at the question presented. “I’m not at liberty to say. I was given instructions and I’m simply following them. So I would suggest you do the same, Henry.” He walked away, hands at his sides.

Henry’s breathing had faltered and hand curled up into a ball. Alex shut the door and grabbed his balled up fist, prying his fingers apart to replace them with his own. “Hey I’m sure everything is fine. Just breathe. Phillip is an ass and probably making it sound worse than it is.” Henry pulled away and walked across the room to his closet. “If it wasn’t serious, he wouldn’t have asked for you too, Alex. Something is wrong and I’m sure he knows and we’re going to be royally fucked and no I’m not trying to make a joke about any of this and-“ Alex cut him off by standing in front of him and placing both hands on either sides of his face. “Hey hey…baby.” He said softly, eyes searching Henry’s face for any sign of nerves or fear which was evident in all his features.

Henry’s eyes had filled with tears, hands starting to shake. “Hey whatever it is…we will handle it. We always do. I love you. I love you.” He emphasized the phrase. Henry hugged him tightly, gripping his shirt. Alex held his head to his chest and kissed his shoulder. “It’ll be okay. Get dressed and we’ll go and figure this out.” Henry nodded and after pulling away, collected himself and put on the first suit he had hanging up.

💜🤍

Henry and Alex reached the kings office. The door was closed shut, leaving room for more nerve wracking thoughts. As much as Alex wanted to reach for his boyfriends hand, he knew the gesture would be a waste of effort. So he stood there and looked over at Alex, waiting for him to make a call on what to do. Just as he was about to ask, Henry reached forwards and knocked on the door then stepped back and placed both hands behind his back. Something Alex noticed was a royal movement.

Both doors were opened and there stood Phillip once again, looking like he knew what was coming and couldn’t wait to be apart of the reveal. Thankfully, bea was also in the room which eased some of Henry’s discomfort but only a little. The king stood by the open windows, not even a sliver of darkness covered the room which was ironic given the circumstances of everything happening at the moment.

“You know. When I was young,” the king started to say. “I used to sneak around with this girl. She was a citizen while I was just learning how to be a prince. I thought it would make me feel normal and maybe a little bit rebellious. I did think at the time I would be with her for the rest of my life. But it was just a dumb teenagers brain talking. A stupid phase in life. Until I learned the lessons of being a prince and changed my life around.” He looked over at Henry, no real expression on his face, just focus. Like he was hinting at what he was really wanting to say. “What are you getting at, sir?”

King James gestured towards the couch that was placed in the middle of the room, surrounded by a couple other chairs and couches. “Have a seat. We have a lot to discuss.” Everyone in the room sat down. Henry and Alex on one couch, king James on the opposite facing them, bea and Phillip in chairs that also sat opposite of the other. “Is there a reason Phillip and bea are here?” Henry stated. “Yes, Henry. This is a family matter and they deserve to apart of the conversation that is being discussed.”

Alex could see a slight smirk from Phillip out of the corner of his eye and wanted nothing more than to cross the room and punch it off his face. How could a person have this much disdain and hatred for his own brother that he would find joy in his pain and fear?

“And what exactly is being discussed? Why were we- why was I pulled away from my room just to beat around the bush? What is going on?” The king cleared his throat and gave a very pointed look at his grandson, a look that would terrify anyone who didn’t know him, one that said ‘you won’t interrupt me or speak to me that way.’ Although Henry wasn’t afraid, he still clamped his mouth shut and let him continue.

“I received a very concerning and unexpected email today and to say I’m surprised and disappointed would be an understatement.” Henry’s anxiety started creeping up once again, hands shaking slightly but not enough for anyone to notice. He had a feeling he knew where this going and had no way to prepare for it. Alex noticed Henry’s mannerisms and his heart broke at not being able to console him but he also wanted his own comfort at the way this interaction was heading.

“The emails consisted of pictures with the two of you….together in a way that was clear that there was more than friendship. I will not go into detail because quite frankly I’m disturbed and concerned for the well-being of this country.” Henry gulped and cleared his throat. “I-I can explain. I can- there’s a-a logical reasoning for-“ Phillip laughed sharply and stood up. “Logical reasoning? Really Henry? You’re going to come up with some magical way to explain being a homo?” Bea gasped and raised her hand up to cut him off, hand slicing through the tension almost. “Watch yourself Phillip.”

Alex clenched his fists at his sides, sitting in silence because he knew he could not speak unless spoken to especially in presence of the king. So he kept his mouth shut and just waited until they were alone in their own darkness again.

King James raised his own hand up to silence the room which clearly had an affect because everyone went quiet and Phillip sat down again. “You have to understand the seriousness of it all. I am not trying to make you feel unwelcome or hated but this will affect our Legacy tremendously if actions aren’t taken immediately.” Henry gaped, eyes wide in disbelief. “Not trying to make me feel hated yet starting off with ‘disgusted’ and ‘disturbed’. Is this why you told me your story about the girl you snuck around with? To tell me I’m making a mistake. Except replace a girl with a guy and then tell me I’m sinning, correct? Well sorry to tell you, your royal highness but I’m in love with Alex and I will not have you tell me what I feel or how I should act.”

“Henry! I will not have you disrespect me in any way, especially in my own home. I could not care less how you feel in this situation. This is me protecting the royal status and the country. So as of next week a news article will be released headlining your engagement to lady Delilah. A very respecting and presentable young woman.” Henry could very much at that moment hear his heart beating loudly in his chest and it was as if everything in him was shattering.

Bea stood up immediately and raised her voice, not caring how rude she sounded. “No. You can’t do that! That’s so wrong and cruel. They’re in love grandpa. Can’t you see that!? Can’t you see past the legacy and look at how much you’re hurting Henry?” King James looked up at bea with disbelief but before he could respond, Phillip opened his mouth once again. “Can’t you see how selfish Henry is being towards this country? Don’t you see if Henry, the prince of wales came out as gay, how badly that would affect all of us? Open your fucking eyes, Beatrice.” She scoffed and licked her lips which is what she did when she was about shut someone down with her compelling arguments.

“No you open yours, you twat! How is he being selfish? By being in love with a man? If it was a woman, no one would even think about this conversation. In fact they would congratulate him and ask him how he was gonna propose it if it was even serious.” He rolled his eyes and chuckled, zero humor in his tone. “Yeah because our legacy is a guy or girl marrying the opposite sex to continue the line of royalty. To have children and keep it going because that’s what has happened for centuries and I’ll be damned if he ruins that just to have a sliver of whatever the fuck this even is.”

“Silence!” The kings voice boomed throughout the wide room, echoing off the walls. Everyone looked at him, waiting for his next words. “No matter what anyone says about this…situation. My words are final and this discussion is over. Henry and Alex, I’m giving you one last night to say goodbye and then Alex,” Alex looked up after staring at his lap the entire time, heart beating and an overwhelming feeling taking over his entire body. “You will be escorted back to America on the first plane back to Washington tomorrow morning. Your family will be invited to the wedding to keep the peace aligned but as of tomorrow, your communication will cut off. So spend your last night however you please, truthfully I don’t care.” Phillip gawked at him and shook his head. “You can’t be serious. You’re gonna let them-“

“I do not remember speaking to you. It is my decision and final say of the matter. All of you are dismissed. And Henry, I will see you tomorrow to discuss the more prominent details in private.”

Henry’s eyes welled up with tears and he rushed out of the room, Alex quickly on his heels. “Henry. Henry slow down. Baby please.” He grabbed his arm and yanked him towards him but Henry shoved him away. “Stop Alex! You heard what he said! I can’t-I can’t do this. I can’t live without you. I-I. You’re my boyfriend. You’re my life. My happiness and now I’m going to be forced to marry someone I don’t even know. I won’t be able to see you for we-weeks.” He choked on the last word and grasped his chest. “I can’t-I can’t breathe.” His breathing became erratic and heavy, knees buckling. “Woah hey.” Alex caught him in the moment he was falling to the ground and just held him in the middle of the gigantic hallway, not a soul to be found. “Sweetheart you’ve having a panic attack. Listen to my voice, focus on your breathing, my love. I’ve got you. I always have. Just me and you. Me and you baby.” Although his own heart was breaking and he was on the verge of breaking down, he needed to be there for Henry.

Henry just sobbed into Alex’s shirt and held into him but started to take deep breaths and calm himself down slowly. “There you go. Just breathe.”

After a couple of minutes, Henry went silent and just laid their in Alex’s lap. The silence was needed even for just a moment to truly process everything that happened. “Alex I can’t lose you. You’re the only person who’s made me feel real.” Alex played with his hair and sniffled, a few tears of his own dropping. “I know…I feel the same about you. But I promise we will figure this out. I’ll talk to my mom and-and zhara tomorrow. We’ll fix this.” Henry sat up and wiped at his eyes before making eye contact with Alex. “How? How are you gonna fix this? This isn’t even your country.” Alex shrugged and looked away from him, not wanting Henry to see his red rimmed eyes. “I-I don’t know but I will.”

Henry placed his hand on Alex’s chin and forced him to look at him. “Oh darling.” He hugged him and they just held each other in silence. It was like that for a long time again before Henry spoke up again, this time a different tone overtook his voice. “If this is our last night together before we come up with a plan, can I ask one thing?” Alex pulled back to look at him and nodded. “Anything.” Henry shifted his eyes back and fourth across his face and placed a hand on his leg. “Make love to me.”

Alex stood up as soon as Henry finished the sentence and grabbed his hand to help him up. “I thought you’d never ask.” They practically ran back to Henry’s room and as soon as the door was locked and closed, their lips smashed together and hands moving all across each other. They backed up towards the bed and as soon as their clothes were off, alex pushed Henry onto to the bed and began lavishing his neck.

Moans and grunts filled the room as they made the most sensual love, knowing that tomorrow they wouldn’t be able to see or contact each other for weeks and possibly ever again. It was a blissful night and after going several rounds, they eventually fell next to each other, breathing heavily and skin glistening with sweat. “God that was amazing.” Alex said, intertwining their bodies together not caring how hot they were in the bed together, under the sheets. “Yeah it was.” Henry said in an almost whisper as if he was too afraid to even speak.

Alex looked over and saw tears streaming from his eyes. “Henry….” He shook his head and sobbed. “Don’t. Just please hold me. Don’t say anything.” Alex’s lip quivered and immediately he wrapped his arms around him and pulled him as close as possible, refusing to let go for even a moment. “Okay.” He said softly. Not another word was spoken for the rest of the night as they fell asleep crying and holding each other.

💜🤍

As the sun rose and shined through the velvet curtains once again, Henry and Alex were wrapped up in each other. Both awake but silent. They were just staring at each other, no a word to be spoken. There were no words needed as they knew what was going to happen soon. Alex would be put onto a plane and yanked away from henry, forced to stay on the sidelines while he watched his lover being forcefully wedded to a different person, from a different country.

None of it was fair and it was clear in the air the animosity that was building up as they waited. Small touches, soft kisses, and yet never any words. For there are many ways to say I love you to someone without so much as a peep. Love wasn’t always something that had to be said out loud. The best type of love was one that was obvious and never needing to be proven or talked about. It was just there. And that’s what they felt in that moment even though their lives were about to be turned upside down, ruined.

The knock on the door cause them to both jerk. Not out of being startled but because they both knew what that meant. The only thing they didn’t know is who would be standing on the other side. It could either be Phillip with a smirk on his face just ecstatic to send Alex back off to America and to torture and bully his brother into submission and into a life he never wanted. Or it would be bea, a sad look on her face not wanting this for either of them and not wanting to be the one to escort her brothers only source of true happiness of the premises. Thankfully when Henry went up to answer the door, it was bea. And although it didn’t make him feel better about any of it, she would at least show compassion and kindness throughout the whole process and for that he was thankful.

“Hey.” She said softly, a sadness in her voice that made him feel bad for her when he was the one who was hurting. “The plane is waiting. The king says it’s time to go…he insists that Alex leaves now so he can make plans with you. I’m so sorry Henry. None of this is fair. I tried to talk to him after you guys left but he wouldn’t hear it. I really tried.” He smiled a sad smile and hugged her tightly. “Thank you bea. I really appreciate that but it isn’t your fault. We’re gonna do everything we can to stop this. There has to be a way. I can’t lose him. Not now. Not after we just figured everything out.” Beatrice pulled back and rested her hands on his shoulders. “My dear brother, I swear on everything I will do everything to help you stop this. You’re not going to lose him. I know it’s gonna be hard to not see him or talk to him but it’ll all be worth it in the end.”

He nodded and sighed when he felt a pair of strong arms envelope him. Alex rested his head on his shoulder and kissed his cheek. “She’s right baby. We will get through this.” Henry grabbed Alex’s hands that were crossed over his chest and brought them up to his lips to place a kiss. “I know.” He turned around to face Alex and bea stepped out to give them privacy.

“I love you.” Henry said, grazing his thumb over Alex’s cheek. Alex leaned into his touch and closed his eyes. “I love you so much.” When Alex opened his eyes again, Henry pulled away and with tears in his eyes, stepped out of the way of the doorway. “If you don’t leave now, I won’t be able to let you go.” Alex wanted to just post on his instagram right now but he knew he couldn’t, not without Henry being ready. He just wish he was because this could be solved but he understood the fear he felt and would never betray that.

He bit his lip to stop himself from crying and left the room, following bea out to where they had their private plane, of course they did. It was better than a public plane though, much safer without all those people. The loud engine was making it all too real and his nerves were screaming at him and he wanted to puke right in front of everybody but he composed himself. Before he reached the steps of the plane, he hugged bea and whispered in her ear. “Thank you for everything. Tell Henry not to give up and that I’m coming up with a plan. Tell him to wait for me and I’ll be here as soon as I can.” He felt bea nod and grip him tightly, a strength he didn’t know she had. “I will. I promise.” He pulled away and wiped a tear off of her face and smiled before he kissed her cheek and walked into the plane. He turned around to see if Henry was there but he wasn’t. He didn’t blame him though. It was hard enough to say goodbye already, watching him leave would be too hard.

He disappeared and sat at the back of plane, farthest away from prying ears and picked up his phone. He dialed the one person who he knew could fix any problem he had no matter how long it could. As it rang he thought of how he was going to go about explaining everything and how important this was to him that it be done as soon as possible. He heard the click of someone answering, a shuffle, a curse word, and then “alex? You okay?” He sighed and looked out the window as the plane took off back to America. “Zhara. I need your help.”

Hi. How are you?

I see you are asking for requests for Eddie and reader. Could I get one where the reader is working a lot of hours at her job, including working at home as well. And she is barely eating or sleeping, and he becomes really concerned for her. She is almost at total collapse.

This is happening in my life right now. Thanks in advance. 😁❤️

Absolutely! Thank you for the request! Also I am sorry you are in that state. Make sure to take care of yourself hun. You're important. I hope this is okay!!!!

Overload

Summary: Y/N is constantly working whether it was at home cleaaning and making things tidy or being at your actual job working a bunch of extra hours because it was short staffed and you needed money. You couldn't catch a break but you couldn't stop. But eddie started noticing you not eating as much and your sleep schedule was ruined. He has tried talking to you but to no avial until you nearly collapse and he calls it.

warnings- mentions of stress, not eating or sleeping, cussing, fighting.

---------------------------------------------------------------

The alarm in your bedroom went off at 8 AM like it did every other day. You either worked in the morning or the night, never steady and never set. It had become a routine for you and you had gotten used to it although you really shouldn't have. You rubbed your eyes hoping to get rid of some of the sleepniess considering you had only gotten about 5 hours of sleep and pushed the cover back and slowly slid out bed, trying not to wake your boyfriend up.

Eddie had been understanding when you told him you would have to pick up extra shifts. His only concern was your health but you had promised it would only be for a couple of weeks but that turned into about 2 months now. You were either at work busting your ass or at home busting your ass. It wasn't like Eddie didn't help you around the house, he did. But you wanted things a certain way all the time so you would spend hours at a time fixing litte things after work, morning or night.

He had tried to talk to you once about it after it hit the one month mark and your eyes were always droopy and your mood alwasy down. But you convinced him you were okay and that it wouldn't be much longer and you really did think that was the case but work was hounding you and you couldn't risk losing the one job that paid you well enough. Eddie worked too as a mechanic but his paychecks sometimes came in low because of some seasons being more slow than others. You were a waitress and a lot of your money was calculated based in tips which was also why you started dressing more cute.

This morning you decided on tight jeans that cut off at the ankle and your work shirt was tied with a ponytail holder around you waist, hair into a messy not messy bun. You sighed as you put on some mascara and a light shade of lipgloss. You were rubbing your lips tgoether when you saw eddie walk into the bathroom from the mirrow, hair all over the place. Your eddie.

"Hey babe. Off to work?" He said gruffly, tiredness etched his voice. "Yeah. I'll be home around 4." He nodded and kissed your cheek. "You look beaitful babe. Do you want some breakfast before you go?" He asked as leaned agasint the sink, arms crossed over his chest. "Uh no I'm okay. I'll eat somehing there on my break but thank you." You didn't admit it but the work load had caused a loss of appetite and even thinking about eating before or during work disgusted you. You smiled and went to walk out but he pulled you back. "Hey. Is everything okay sweetheart? You're working a lot and you neevr eat before you go to work which isn't good for you. Do you even eat at work?" Your anxeity was going up at this whole conversation and you wated to end it quick.

"Okay what is up with the interrigation? I just want to go to work. I don't know why you get so worried about me? I'm a waitress, I work a lot. It's how it is." He sighed and rubbed his eyes. "I'm just making sure you're okay. Why do you argue with me? I'm allowed to be concenred babe." You roll your eyes and shake your head. "Jesus. I'm fine. Please stop asking every 5 minutes. I'm not gonna break so stop treating me like I'm fragile." He scoffed and pushed himself off the counter. "Well I am so sorry that I fucking care about you. You don't have to act like such a bitch."

You bit the inside of your cheek, irriation flooding through your body. "Wow so now I'm a bitch? Real classy eddie. Screw you." You went to walk away but he grabbed your wrist. "No I said you were acting like one and don't walk away from me. Stop acting like a child and just talk to me. I love you and I just want you to be okay." You yanked from his grasp and grabbed your phone off the counter. "I am okay. So leave me alone. I'm just trying to support us and it's fucking annoying that you can't see that!" You walked out but heard feet following you.

"I do see that but jesus babe you've lost weight, you're barely eating and barely sleeping. Don't think I haven't notcied because I do." You whipped around and stepped towards him. "congrats. You've notcied something. Stop worrying about it. I'm tired of you bringing it up. I'll see you when you get home." He laughed humorlessly. "Yeah. Don't think this conversation is over." You brushef him off with a wave of your hand and slammed the door on the way out.

As you made your way to the car, the stress hit your body and your entire body felt like it was shaking. You knew you blew up because he was right. You weren't eating and you weren't sleeping. You didn't understand how it had gotten so bad but you didn't want to ask for help so you never said anything. You just wanted to support your boyfriend even though he made enough to combine with your own to survive. You felt horrible as you made your way to work knowing that eddie did love you and he was concerned. You wouldn't let yourself cry though because you had to work in 10 minutes and your head needed to be cleared so you could focus on getting extra tips today.

As soon as you got there, you grabbed your apron and wrapped it around you, ready for the day to already be over. Your manager, sam, walked up to you and smiled. "good morning. um so Kayla called out for her shift tonight and I was wondering if you would work a double." You had barely clocked in and they already asking more of you. "I reallt can't tonight. I have plans with my boyfriend." You knew it was partly a lie but you needed the rest and you had worked doubles so often lately. "Well I need to know I can rely on you honey. We're super short staffed and I-" You interrupted her and sighed. "I am reliable. I worked doubles all last week and I want to go home to my boyfreind tonight so I'm sorry but no." Sam sucked at her teeth and nodded, walking away clearly upset but your mind still was wrapped around the argument just 30 minutes ago and you had to talk to him asap.

As soon as you opened, people started flooding in. Most people were nice and tipped well but others not so much. You had been yelled at and called an idiot because they ordered the wrong thing. You dealt with it every so often but it still hurt the same. Someone had also called you a pretty young thing and tried to touch you to which you stepped back but they still tipped well. It was a day full of assholes, pervs, and idiots but what's new?

Finally your shift came to an end and you hung your apron up, checking the schedule before you left. Your heart dropped when you noticed sam cut your hours. Fucking bitch. You felt tears spring to your eyes but refused to let them go at work. At that moment Sam walked into the back and you looked at her, stopping her before she could walk away. "Is there a reason you cut my hours?" Sam looked you in your eyes and faked a sad smile. "Yeah I'm sorry it's just we are really low staff and we have to have people here working as much as possible and we only want those people to have the hours."

You gaped at her. "Sam I worked doubles all last week and you're telling me the one time i decline, you cut my hours?" Sam sighed and put her hands up in defense. "It has nothing to do with you-" "Yes it does. I am not doing this with you. I've done nothing but be here, ruining my relationship with the only person who cares for me and you're tossing me aside because of one simple thing." You scoffed and walked off from her, not giving her another word.

You took a deep breath and walked out, heading to you car. Once you got in, you broke down not understanding why you're life was going to shit. You worked your ass off for them and they cut your hours because of one 'no'. After a couple of minutes, you gathered your thoughts and drove home, hopinh eddie was home which he was.

You got out of the car and felt a diziness but tried to control it as you walked into the house. A hunger pang, exhaustion, and sadness creeped its way into your body all at once and you collapsed on the floor. Eddie was in the kitchen making dinner and dropped the plate he had, glass shattering as he ran to you. "Baby. Oh my god shit. Are you okay?" You whimpered and held your stomach. "No. N-No. Eddie it hurts. everything hurts a-and you were right. I'm so sorry." You sobbed as he scooped you into his arms bridal style and laid you down in your bed after he carried you. "Hey we don't need to talk about that right now. What do you need?" You took a deep breath. "Water please."

He immediately went to grab it and brought it back to you. “What happened?” he said as he placed the back of his hand on your forehead. The coldness of his hand brought relief to your heated skin, and you close your eyes in content. “ my manager cut my hours all because I said no to working a double. She said that wasn’t the reason why but it doesn’t make sense because I’ve been working doubles for so long, so the one day I say no my hours were cut.” His breathing for a little heavier which meant he was getting angry. “ that’s it. I’m calling it. You’re gonna call and you’re gonna quit today.” you’re a shot open and you looked at him with a shocked expression. “ babe I can’t. I need a job I need money.” he shook his head. “ the video store is hiring Robin told me the other day. Look at you baby, you literally collapsed, you’re not doing OK. please quit.”

“ are you sure she’s hiring? Because I can’t risk that.” He nodded quickly. “ I promise you. I had asked her the other day because I was really worried about you. I just think it would be a better job because the hours are better and the pay is better and you would be around people who care about you, Robin and Steve. Please.” His voice cracked and you looked at him sensing the fear and sadness and him, and it broke your heart that you were making him feel this way.

“ OK. I’ll quit. But I’m gonna need help getting better because I really fucked myself over.” The sadness in your voice was hard to miss because you realized how bad it was. He sniffled and brushed some of your hair back. “ of course I will. I would do anything for you,you know that right?” it was your turn to brushed some of his hair back as you looked into his eyes. “ of course I know that and I’m so sorry for the way I treated you this morning. You didn’t deserve that.” He stroked check with his thumb. “ no I didn’t deserve that but I understand where you were coming from. You were just worried about us. About me I presume. But I promise you we can get through this.”

You looked at him with the most love in your eyes wondering how you got this lucky. “ I’m so grateful you’re in my life. I love you so much.” Your voice cracked and he leaned down to kiss your forehead. “ I love you too. We’re gonna get you better baby girl so first things first leaving that hell hole.” You chuckled and agreed with him. He placed a soft kiss your lips, but the passion was there no doubt. No doubt at all.

You bet one me part 2.

About 4 months had went by after finding out Eddie made a bet on you with Jason. You were still broken about it and everytime you saw him, your stomach clenched and your breath would catch in your throat. When he made eye contact with you, his face would soften and he would look like he wanted to say something but you never gave him the chance. You would immediately turn and walk the other way, typically taking the longer way to class.

You could see the hurt on his face and wanted to bring him back into your life but it would take more than puppy eyes and a simple apology to fix the mistake he made. You weren't even sure if there was anything he could do for you to forgive him and give him a second chance.

You refused to let this ruin your life, always forcing yourself out of the house anytime you started feeling sad. You friend group wasn't the biggest and they weren't a night on the townn kind of people but they made it fun nonetheless. Steve and Robin would always be there to bring movies from the video store as well as snacks and spend time with you until you decided you were too tired to continue. Nancy would take you on to lunch and then would take you to her house to do your hair and makeup, claiming that nothing made a man regret what he did by looking like a bad ass bitch. The kids never failed to make your day, always cracking jokes and trying to explain D&D even though you had no idea what was going on.

They had figured out what eddie had done, investiagtive little shits. And although they still hung out with eddie, they made sure to let him know how big of a fuck up he was. Which was why he kept trying to talk to you but you just wouldn't have it. You were trying to move on and it was working for the most part. There was still lingering pain but it wasn't constant nor was it enough to stay in your bed crying all day.

Today however was a good day. You woke up and for once in a really long time, you didn't care. You thought about Eddie and the pain really wasn't there. Of course there was still some lingeing but it was manageable and you were ready to move on finally. You had plans to hang out with steve and Robin after school and you were ready for the school day to be over already and you hadn't even arrived yet.

Speaking of steve and robin, they had been really great in the whole healing process. They were your best friends although steve sometimes treated you like you were more than a friend. He would hug you and kiss you cheek and even wrap his arm around you while you all walked togethere. But in all fairness, he did most of those things while eddie was near so you weren't sure if he was trying to eddie jealous/pissed off but if he truly did like you. You didn't care to ask conisdering thr friendship was real and the last thing you needed was something complicated.

You rolled out of bed and strecthed before putting on your favorite sundress. The dress was fully white with black flowers spotted all over matching with the comlexion of your skin. It was one of eddies favorites but you weren't wearing it for him. You were making a statement. 'eddie munson can suck it. He isn't going to make me stop doing the things I love.' And you stood that. As you put your hair into a high ponytail, your mother called up from downstairs. "honey! Steve is here to pick you up! Looks like nancy is in the car too!."

You chuckled as you grabed your backpack and phone. "Okay! be down in a sec!" They loved picking you up from school even though you drove. They claimed it was a great way to bond and that you needed to be around friend in this time of need. You ran down the stairs and waved goodbye to your mom. "I might be out tonight. I'll see you later." You walked to the door but turned around when she called out to you. "Have you eaten breakfast honey? " You smiled and pointed towards the door. "I will get something on the way. I promise. Love you." "Love you too. Also steve is a good one. Don't waste an oppurtinty." She smirked and placed a hand on her hip. "mom!" You called out, embarassed at her confience.

You opened the door and walked outsdie to see steve leaning against one of the pillars on your porch. "You know my mom thinks we would be good together and that you like me right? You leaning against that makes it look like you're taking me out." You gave him a pointed look and he smiled and pushed himself off and walked towards you. "Would that be so bad?" You rolled your eyes and shoved him playfully. "You know how I feel about you steve. You're like a brother plus I am not ready for anything right now." He grabbed your hand and led you down the steps. "I know. Just messing with you pretty lady. A man can dream anyways."

He hopped into the drivers seat as you got into the back, Robin in her place in the passengers seat. "Hey girl. How's it going?" She said and she turned in her seat to look at you. You smiled and smoohted out your dress as you buckled in. "I'm alright. I feel good today and I was thinking we could hang tonight." Robin sucked at her teeth. "Shit I'm sorry girl. I can't tonight. Got a date. Maybe steve can though." Steve put a thumbs up as he put the car into drive and drove off. "fine by me."

"Okay that's fine. Tell me about this date girl and why you didn't call me as soon as iy happened." You stated playfully. Robin laughed and started explaining everything.

fifteen minutes later, steve pulled into the parking lot and parked. The three of you all got out and shut the doors to the car and headed into the school. As soon as walked through the doors, you knew your day was already going to be horrible. Eddie munson was standing by the front office door clearly waiting to be called in for who knows what. His eyes caught yours and your breath hitched and heart started racing as he stood up and was making his way over to you. He hadn't tried to talk to you in over 3 weeks and you thought you had gottten over it, thought that time had healed you but the way your body was reacting, it was evident that wasn't the case. "Hey can we talk? please?" His eyes pleaded, filled with regret and sadness but you couldn't give in. "No. I want you to leave me alone eddie."

You stsrted to walk past but he grabbed your arm. "Baby please." Just as you were about to make a scene, steve got in his face. "let her go munson before things get ugly. And the right to call her pet names has long passed. You fucked up, accept it and leave her be." Eddie was typically the type to fight back but steve rarely lost fights and he didn't want to ruin his chances of getting you back so he let you go and walked away, heart aching and stomach churning.

"Thanks steve." You grabbed his hand and he intertwined it with yours. You felt terrbie right after you did it though because the pain on eddies face was unmistakeable. He had hurt you far worse but you a part of you knew he regretted it and wanted you back. You wanted to give him a second chance but you were so scared. "You okay?" Steve said as he looked down at you, worry etched across his face. You cleared your throat as well as your thoughts and nodded. "Yeah let's get to class."

The final bell rang and the exhuastion took over your body. School was so draining and you still had a couple more months before you graduated. As you were walking to steve's car to hang out, robin had already left to go on her date, a familar face stopped you in your tracks. "Hey. You doing okay? I sae the whole munson thing tofay. He really did fuck up." Jason carver laughed, a buddy of his laughing along. Your face started to turn red and your hands balled up into fists. "Shut up Carver. You're the one that caused this. You are such a dick dude." He rolled his eyes and placed a hand on his chest. "I didn't do shit. He didn't have to agree. It's not my fault he wanted to prove a point. You were just unlucky." He shrugged and began to walk away.

"No! You wanted to prove a point! You took the chance to humilaite someone as fucking usual. You hurt two people in the process and you don't even care!" Your anger got the better of you and you shoved him causing him to stumble. People in the parking lot staryed to glance over at the scene. "You bitch. Don't ever lay your hands on me." He grabbed your wrist and yanked you towards him." It's not my fault that munson chose you to fuck over. Get over yourself. You're not special. You're just a pawn that can be discared. Clearly eddie was playing the game." He smirked but that didn't last long as someone rammed into him and punched him in the face once they were both on the ground.

You gasped and your hands covered your mouth at the shocking turn of events. Your eyes widened as you realized it was eddie who had come to your defense. "You fucked with the wong girl Carver. Don't touch her like that or speak to her like that. " He punched him a couple more times before he eased up, breaths heavy. He stood up and brushed his hair back, watching Jason wince and groan at the beaten he had taken. He looked over at you and his eyes softend at your state. He walked towards you but you stepped back. "No. Don't. Thank you eddie, seriously but I can't." Your eyes flooded with tears and you ran off and didn't turn back even as he called your name.

You ran and ran until you reached Steve’s car. He was leaning against the hood when he heard footsteps. He looked up and he caught you as you ran into his arms sobbing. “Woah hey hey. What’s going on?” He held your head to his chest and and wrapped his arms around you. “Jason stopped me and was messing with me and talking about Eddie. I just snapped and I shoved him and he grabbed me and basically called me worthless and a piece of a game. And-and Eddie tackled him and punched him and then tried to talk to me but I couldn’t handle it so I ran away and I don’t know what to do.” You sobbed after your rant and he didn’t say anything for a solid minute, trying to gather his own thoughts. “Okay hey. Why don’t we go back to my house? And we can talk and figure things out?” You sniffled and pulled away, looking at him. “O-okay.” He nodded and brushed a stray piece of your hair back. “Okay. Let’s go.” He rubbed her arm and both of you got in on the opposite side and he drove off towards his house.

As soon as you got into his house, he set his backpack down along with yours. You closed the door behind you and turned to look at Steve. He shoved his hands into his jacket pocket and looked a you. Just as he was about to say something, you moved closer and kissed him. He stumbled back a bit, not expecting it. His hands moved from his pocket and grabbed your arms. He kissed back but after a couple seconds, he gently pushed you away. "woah this is not a good idea" You looked at him, a look of embarssment covering your face. "I-I'm so stupid. I am so sorry. Of course you don't want this."

A tear fell from your face and you turned around. "No that's not it. You're a nice girl and you're beautiful. But we're best friends. I know what I said this morning but I was trying to make you laugh. You're like a sister to me, like robin. And I know you're not over Eddie. You're still hurt and you still love him." You whipped around and you scrunched your face in anger. "You have no idea what I feel steve. Don't say shit like that to me." He scoffed and shook his head. "I can see how you feel. You wouldn't be lashing out if you knew it wasn't true. You know it's true and it frustrates you. But it's normal sweetheart. No one would judge you if you wanted him back."

You knew what he was saying was true even though you didn't want to admit it. You did still love eddie munson. You kissed steve to feel something, to get some of that feeling back but no one could make you feel what he made you feel. You let a few more tears fall. "I don't know what to do. I love him so much. I miss him." His gaze softened and he sighed as he held your hands. "Go get him. It is so fucked up what he did but I think he truly does regret what he did. He loves you. He fell for you. How could he not? I think he got into a game he didn't understand and when he fell for you, he didn't know how to tell you so he just didn't. That made it worse but i think he was scared. I only kept him away for you."

You bit you lip as you thought into it. "You won't judge me for it? robin won't?" He chuckled and pulled you into a hug. "Would be friends if we judged you like that? Robin will be skeptical but she wants you to be happy. Go get him because I'm sure he is squirming" You giggled and pulled back. "I'm sorry for kissing you."

He shrugged and smirked. "Don't be. Now I know why eddie likes you so much." You scoffed and smacked his arm. "Gross." You both laughed it out thankful he didn't resent you. "Okay well I am going to go get my boyfriend back." He smiled and kissed your cheek. "I'll drive you." After what felt like a 30 minute ride even though it was only 10 because your nerves were taking over and causing you to shake and overthink. "what if he rejects me?" You said out loud knowing how stupid you sounded. "He would be a fucking idiot. He won't reject you. I can tell he wants you back." You both stared at the trailer he resided in. You took a deep brath and unbuckled.

Steve looked at you and chuckled. "go get em' tiger and practice safe sex." You gaped at him and your cheeks turned red. "Oh my god. I'm leaving."

You rushed out of the car and heard him laughing. The coolness from the air felt releving on your heated cheeks. You walked up to his and knocked softly. A couple second later, it opened arublty. "What do you wa-Y/n, h-hey. Um are you okay? What are you doing here?" You looked up at him, his curly hair a mess but framing his face perfectly. You had always loved his hair, loved playing with it when you cuddled and watched movies with each other. "I-uh. I-" You cleared your throat and shivered a little, the breeze hitting you just right. He took off his jacket and wrapped it around you. "Come in...please. It's a little cold." The gesture made your heart swell and you walked in, the familar warmth of his trailer making you feel at ease. You placed your arms through the holes of his jacket. You saw the crack of his smile edge on his face and tried not to smile yourself. You needed to get to the point. "I want you back..." You stated, voice small but point clear. His mouth parted and eyes widened. He breathed out and swallowed hard. "really? I mean- yeah yeah. I want you to back too."

He took a step but you put your hand out stopping him. "Before that happens, we need to set some boundaries." He nodded and stepped back, giving you space. "I understand. Anything."“Okay." You took a deep breath and clasped your hands together. "first of all, if you ever do anything like that to me again, you will never see me again." He gulped but nodded quickly. "Never again. swear." You took a step closer. "If anyone ever mentions anything about it, shut it down. Like you did today. I will too but I don't want it in my life anymore." You stepped forward again. "I'll defend you with my life baby girl. I love you." You sighed and ran to him and jumped into his arms. He lifted you up and you wrapped your legs around him. "I love you too." Your words muffled by his shirt. "I have one last request." He rubbed your back. "Anything." You leaned back, tears falling down your face. "Don't let me go. I hated being away from you."

He wiped the tears from your eyes and set you on the counter and stepped between your legs. "I am never letting you go again." He kissed you and rested a hand on your thigh. You kissed back and the next hour, he made love to you, reminding you how he was never letting you out of his sight again. You ended up spending the night and needless to say, being in his arms was the best you had felt in a while. He had hurt you but he had never stopped trying to fix it and that was important to you. He loved you and that was enough.

You bet on me?

Summary: While Jason was fucking with Eddie one day, he claimed eddie couldn’t get anyone even if he tried. Eddie took that up as an offer and Jason told him to get you to fall in love with him as a bet. Eddie being an ignorant asshole took up on that offer. You find out and all hell breaks loose.

Warnings: cussing, angst, crying, anger

—————————————————————————-

You felt like air was being sucked out of you as Nancy sat with you on your bed explaining the heartbreaking news she had just found out through some of the jocks on the football team. She had immediately come over to tell you and you couldn’t even process what she was saying, choosing not to believe it. Eddie wouldn’t do that to you. No way.

You guys had met at a pep rally where you were cheering and he had complimented your appearance and your skill and one thing led to another and several dates happened. Months later, he asked you to be his girlfriend and it was coming up on your 4 months. Even if what Nancy was saying was true, why would he continue this? It would just be cruel which is why you couldn’t believe it at first. Eddie wasn’t cruel. He didn’t have a mean bone in him.

“No. They’re lying. They have to be Nancy. Eddie isn’t like that and they hate him anyways. They’ll do anything to make people see their side.” You stood up off the bed and started pacing the room, trying to think of anything to use as a rebuttal against her argument. She looked at you with pity and sadness which only pissed you off more. “Y/n…I know this is hard to believe but I really don’t think they would take it this far. They were laughing about how they were shocked Eddie went through with the challenge Jason gave him to get the head cheerleader to fall in love with him. I overheard them when I was walking to the office.” She bit her lip softly, not knowing what to say.

Tears sprung to your eyes but you looked up to prevent them from spilling over. “I just- I’m trying too hard to believe it and I cant. It’s not Eddie. He wouldn’t do that. I know he’s sporadic and doesn’t think but-but he doesn’t just try to hurt people to prove points to people like fucking Jason carver. There has to be some explanation. There’s no way he bet on me…right?” Your voice cracked at the assumption.

Nancy, finally baffled and unable to say much, just sighed sadly. “I don’t know honey. I want to say no. I want to tell you that they’re just being stupid and lying about it but I can’t. He-he bet on you y/n and I am so sorry. I know how much you love him.” You sobbed at the last sentence and she immediately stood up and wrapped you in her arms. “I’m here for you. And I’ll stay by your side through all of this. Eddie will regret this and he will not come near you unless you agree to it.”

You cried into her shoulder and hung onto her for dear life. This was the most heartbreaking thing you had ever encounter in your life and it just so happened to be with the love of your life. At least that’s what you thought. Confronting him was terrifying to you and you weren’t sure if it would go down well. If he would lie or tell you the truth. If he would tell you he never loved you or if he would try to apologize profusely and beg for you to forgive him which you weren’t sure if you could.

“What am I gonna do?” Your quavered voice announced after all the thoughts swarmed your head. She pulled back to look at you and wiped your tears away. “You’re going to take a deep breath and you are going to confront that motherfucker when you feel confident enough to do so. Don’t beat around the bush. Don’t ignore him to make him come to you. Look him in the eye next time you see him and tell him everything you know.” You sniffled and nodded, your chest tightening with anxiety. You took a deep breath to calm yourself down and looked at her. “Okay. Thank you Nancy for um telling me. I think I want to wash up and head to bed. I need to think.”

She smiled softly and nodded in understanding. “Yeah of course. Call me if you need anything hon. I’m a landline away.” You hugged her once more and she headed out leaving you alone with your thoughts. You broke down once again and collapsed on your bed, curling in on yourself. Your heart wanted eddie to hold you but your brain made sure you didn’t do that knowing he was the reason for your heartbreak.

Your shower was long forgotten about as you cried yourself to sleep, Eddie and the bet he made on you the only thing on your mind.

💜

The next morning you were thankful it was a Saturday so you got to sleep in and not worry about facing Eddie…until you realized Saturdays were your days with him and he would be over any second. “Fuck..” you stated throwing yourself out of her and contemplating just cancelling the day with him but remembering what Nancy said about getting straight to the point and not letting this be at a stand still.

Not exactly feeling up to dressing cute like you usually do, you slipped on a tank top with sweatpants and put your hair in a messy bun. You didn’t bother trying to hide the dried up tears and baggy eyes, knowing he would make it easier for you to blow up if he asked what was wrong. You knew that wasn’t the best approach and probably not the healthiest but you didn’t know what else to do. You had never been in this situation before and it was ten times harder with it being eddie.

Your anxiety shot through the roof hearing the door being knocked on. You took shaky breaths and tried to control yourself as you walked down the stairs, hands shaking. You stared at the door for a couple seconds and when the knocking started again, you walked over and opened it seeing Eddie stand at the other side, big goofy smile on his face. “Hey baby. You ready for cuddles and movies because I for one am.” He in your attire which was unusual considering you liked dressing up to get compliments from him and just because that’s who you were but he didn’t comment on it, not wanting to upset you.

“Um I don’t think that’s a good idea right now eddie.” You cleared your throat and bit your cheek trying to keep the tears that so badly wanted to fall inside your tear ducts. “What? Why? Saturday is always our day. Did something happen?”it took everything in your not to Scoff and scream at him right then. “Yeah something did happen and I don’t think it’s a good idea to hang out right now.“ you crossed your arms, trying to control yourself.

“Baby you can talk to me. Don’t shut me out.” You put your hand up to signal for him to stop talking. “Don’t call me baby. Don’t pretend you care right. Is because it’s really pissing me off.” He looked at you confused, eyes scrunching. “Woah…hey what us going on? Can I come in so we can talk? Cause something is clearly up.” You wanted to slam the door and tell him to stay away but Nancy was right, you needed to confront him. So you stepped aside and he walked in. You closed the door as soon as he entered and he faced you one again.

“You want to talk? Fine we can talk.” You voice betrayed you and it cracked, showing the emotion you were trying so hard to hide. “You fucking bet on me and let this-“ you gestured between the two of you. “Continue for as long as it has, keeping it from me.” Eddie’s eyes widened and he felt his heart drop to the floor. You knew. How did you know? He didn’t want you to find out. It wasn’t like that anymore.

“Y/n. I-I swear to god it isn’t like that. Not anymore.” You glared at him and chucked with zero humor coming to show. “So which one is it? Because you’re not making any sense.” He shut his eyes tightly and cleared his throat. “Y-yes it was a bet.” He quickly continued seeing your eyes water and your hands go to your head. “But! I swear on everything, I called it off as soon as I got to know you. I knew it was shitty and wasn’t fair to you. Shit even anybody and told him to never bring it up again because it didn’t mean anything. I fell in love with you. I didnt- fuck. I wasn’t faking this.”

You let a few tears fall. “No. You did fake it. You wouldn’t have fallen in love with me. You wouldn’t have even met me if you hadn’t made that bet. So no Eddie this wasn’t real because we didn’t meet under real circumstance. God it makes sense now. Us meeting at a pep rally. You don’t do those.” A tear fell down your cheek but you quickly wiped it away. “Sweetheart I know the beginning of this wasn’t right and it wasn’t real at first but I swear it’s real now. I know that doesn’t mean much but I called it off with him as soon as I knew how kind and passionate you were. You’re the best girlfriend I’ve ever had.”

You cleared your throat and scoffed again, clenching your fists. “It doesn’t matter if you fucking called it off eddie. I was the deal you made with Jason so he won. As per usual. If you had told me at the beginning, yeah I would have been pissed but you could have redeemed yourself but now? You can’t do anything to make this right…you just lost the best girlfriend you’ve ever had. And-and I lost, who I thought was the best boyfriend I ever had, to a fucking bet. And the worst part? You talked shit about Jason to me. About how horrible he was to women when you were horrible to me. So you need to get the fuck out of me house and never talk to me again.”

His heart rate increased and he started panicking. “Baby please. I’ll do anything. I-I know how bad this looks and it is bad but I swear to god I never intended for you to get hurt. I was scared to tell you because I didn’t know if you would want to get to know me after that…and I didn’t think about you finding out later. Which is messed up, I know. But I love you with everything I have. If you end this, if you end us, Jason truly wins. I didn’t make this bet to make a joke out of you. I have had a crush on your for a while and as cruel as it sounds, this stupid bet made it easy for me to talk to you and I’m so sorry. It shouldn’t have been like that. We never met because I couldn’t bring myself to talk to you and that was my fault. Please don’t break this off. I can make this right. I swear.”

Your face was wet with tears and you kept trying to dry them but they kept coming. “Now you’re just making excuses. God you’re an asshole. We’re done eddie.” Your breath caught in your throat saying the words you dreaded saying. “Please get out.” You finally whispered not having anymore energy. He pleaded and reached for you. “Baby plea-“

“Get out!” You yelled and pointed at the door. He flinched a little but complied, tears starting to fall down his own cheeks. “I’m so sorry. I love you.” He bit his lip and left your house, closing the door on his way out. As soon as the door clicked, you fell to your knees and sobbed. You couldn’t control the wretched feeling that was forming in the pit of your stomach. You had just lost to your lover and to a fucking bet of all things.

You so badly wanted to call Nancy but she was working and you didn’t want to bother her. So you did the next best thing. You called Steve. He was like your brother and would beat someone up for even looking at you wrong. “Hey girl. What’s up?” Hearing his voice sent you into another break down. “S-Steve? I really need you right now.” You sobbed.

“Hey hey. What’s wrong?” He said softly, any joking manner dissipating hearing the sadness in your voice. “E-Eddie….he um he bet on me. And-and he’s been lying to me about it and we just broke up. I can’t do this right now. Please can you come over?” You heard shuffling and a set of keys. “Yes. I’m on my way. Hang tight okay?” He hung up and you sniffled as you sat down on the couch.

10 minutes later, Steve walked through the door not even bothering to knock. He rushed over to you and pulled you into a hug before even asking everything that happened. “I’m here. It’s okay.” You sobbed into his chest and gripped his shirt. “I don’t understand what I did Steve. I don’t get it.” His heart broke hearing your cries and he wanted to kill eddie for making you feel this way. “You didn’t do anything. He’s an idiot. It’s his loss.” He pet your hair as he held you, not saying a word and letting the silence be a type of comfort.

Eventually you pulled away, feeling slightly better about the interaction you just had. You wiped your tear rimmed eyes and sniffled, trying to gather your thoughts. “Nancy was over last night….and she told me she overheard Jason talking about a bet that was made on me a couple of months ago.” Your voice cracked but you weren’t sure you had any tears left. “He claims it isn’t like that anymore but it was still like that in the beginning. I was just some game and maybe he does love me cause he did say he always a crush on me but it sounds like bullshit. He didn’t come in wanting to love me.” You looked up at Steve with big brown doe eyes and begged for some type of answers although it wasn’t fair of you to look to him for them.

He shook his head and a hand drug down his face. “It’s all bullshit. I mean for once I’m just completely fucking shocked. I was starting to like the dude too but screw that shit. Fuck him, Y/N. I know it hurts and my words don’t mean much right now but he’s a dick and he doesn’t deserve you. You’ll want to get revenge but the best revenge is to be live your life and be happy without him. And you have people that will make sure that happens.” He put a hand on your shoulder and rubbed the skin there. You smiled slightly and nodded. “You’re right. It’s just going ti be really hard, Steve. I love him.”

He sighed and looked away at the wall then back at you. “I know. And that’s normal but it will be okay. Nothing stays the same so this feeling will fade just like his ass will. If I see him, it’s right there.” You giggled and hugged your friend. He wrapped his arms around you and rested his chin on top of your head. “We’re all here for you. And I know hellfire club will absolutely tear him apart.” You pulled away and looked at them, eyes wide again. “Don’t tell them. If Eddie does, fine. But don’t say a word please. they’re just kids.” Steve was quick to listen and agree to what you were saying. They didn’t deserve to be involved. Unless it was Eddie who said something, the kids would be left out of this. Eddie might have been a complete dick but he was a role model to them and who were you to take that away from them?

Robin probably already knew considering how close she and Nancy had gotten so it wouldn’t be long until your phone line wound start ringing. This time though, the words from Robin would be harsh and demanding than Steve. Robin was sweet and gave good advice but if someone hurt her friends, she didn’t take it well.

“He’s gonna try to reach out.” Steve said after neither of them said anything after a while. “If he really loves you, he’ll call you or try to talk to you in person. It’s up to you if you want to…but I wouldn’t. Unless he manages to make some bomb ass apology which is unlikely cause he’s an idiot, it’s not worth it.” You hated hearing Steve say that knowing that it wasn’t what you wanted to hear.

What you wanted was for him to tell you that you should hear him out and give him a chance before you decide to leave him. Or that fighting for the relationship was worth it cause it was a mistake. But you knew that Steve was right. This wasn’t something that could be fixed over night. This wasn’t something that was worth fighting for unless proven that it was which would be very hard to do in this scenario. This was something difficult to come back from and as much as you wanted to just tell him to come back and that you forgave him, it wouldn’t change the fact that he did what he did. Love is shown. Love is proven. If he really did feel awful about what he had done, he would show that and it would take a lot more than an apology or some flowers.

You took a deep breath and sat down, your legs suddenly feeling weak from all the stress. “I’m not going to. Unless he can prove that he does love me and that he really does resent what he’s done, we’re over. I don’t think he can come back from this but i won’t stop it in the off chance he will…” you look over at him wondering if he will try to say anything to convince you to just let him go but he says nothing. His face was full of love and support, not judging any decisions you have made. “I’m here for you regardless. And so are Nancy and Robin. Personally I wouldn’t have let someone back but you have a big heart and you know what’s best for you. And I do think Eddie loves you…in some weird way he did fall for you. It just wasn’t the right or fair way to you.”

You chewed on your lip anxiously considering all the ways you could handle this. Was it really worth it to try and wait for him to fix this? Was it worth it to let him back into your life after the pain he made you feel? Deep down, you believed he did love you but you couldn’t help but think the only way that love formed was through a bet he made to prove himself to a bully he claimed he despised. So was that a love you wanted in your life? Or was there something else out there for you? You had no clue where to go from here but you weren’t going to let him dictate your life. You would get your revenge. You would show him you were trying to move on and that you could be happy without him. If something changed and he ended up back in your life, so be it. But for now, he was dead to you and the pain would soon turn into anger and then into nothing. You had a lot to think about and several decisions to make but for now?

Fuck Eddie munson

You aren’t alone

Part 2 of tell me something only you would know

Part 1 here

Summary: after eddie bit you and caused you to pass out, it causes tension when you wake up and there are things you have to work through.

Warnings: a lot of angst at first but lotssss of fluff. Mentions of blood and smut.

I might make a part three and finally let you have that talk with max and also giving your blood to Eddie. Let me know if you want it. Thanks for reading and send in requests!! 👀❤️

Sorry it isn’t as long! I’m on my way home from a big trip and so my mind isn’t as open but I still wanted to write. I hope it’s good!

————————————————————————-

Your head was pounding when you finally managed to open your eyes. It didn’t take much time for your eyes to adjust to the darkness of the room and when it did fully adjust, your eyes met Eddie’s and you gasped, pushing yourself back against the wall, away from him.

You suddenly remembered what had happened. One moment you were cuddling your thought to be deceased boyfriend and next he was biting you and draining you of blood. All you saw was darkness after trying to get him to stop.

Eddie looked at you frantically and tried to reach for you but you put your hand up to stop him. “Don’t touch me. Stay away.” You breathed our, anxiety clear in your voice. Your hands automatically went up to your neck to check for any wounds but it was clear. Somehow you were healed but you couldn’t think clearly to even begin thinking clearly about the possibilities.

“Oh god baby I’m so sorry. I swear to you I didn’t mean to. I-I don’t know what happened. One moment I’m holding you and the next my throat is burning and your scent was so strong, I couldn’t stop myself and by the time I pulled away, you were out and I have never hated myself the way I do now. Please baby you have to believe me.” His heart broke seeing you close in on yourself, hands wrapped around your knees that were brought to your chest. “Eddie I’m sure you didn’t mean to but you could-could have killed me and I just need some space right now.”

He shook his head, everything tightening inside of him. “No y/n. Please don’t. I just got you back. I can’t stay away from you again.” Your lip quivered and you had to look away to avoid his eye contact otherwise you would cave. “Eddie go. It’s not for a long time. I just need to think.” You said more forcefully.

His face suddenly crunched into anger. “You know you fucking left me there to rot…I went through weeks of torture to get back to you and I make one mistake, and you want me gone.” He regretted the words almost as soon as they came out of his mouth. Your snapped your head in his direction and scowled at him. “What!? I tried to bring you back with us but they wouldn’t let me! Don’t accuse me of that shit, munson. Get out!” You yelled as tears fell down your face.

His hands were shaking and he bit his lip and looked down ashamed but used his newly founded vamp speed to exit the house. Your hair ruffled as the air from his speed hit you and you took a deep, shaky breath to calm yourself down. Everything just kept falling apart and you couldn’t seem to stop it or even slow it down. You knew Eddie didn’t mean to hurt you. God you knew that. But you had to think about your safety and he needed time to think to himself as well.

Although he did bite you, he had healed you somehow and cleaned up the blood. The thoughtfulness almost made up for the horror…almost. You crawled underneath your covers and stared at the blank wall in front of you. Eddie saying that you left him there made you just want to die right then and there. You couldn’t believe he thought you did that when you tried like hell to come back for him. Even after everything was over and done, you tried to find way back into the upside down but couldn’t ever find a way, even through the watergate which was pretty much destroyed.

You sobbed into your pillow, getting tears all over the case. You eventually became tired and fell asleep, dried tears and red eyes remaining on your exhausted face.

During the night, you became hot under the covers but removing them didn’t do much. You suddenly wished for Eddie’s cool frame but that would not happen seeing as you threw him out. You sighed and sat up, unlocking the window next to your bed and pushing it open, letting cool air filter into the room.

You breathed in the fresh air and laid back down, hoping to get more sleep before the sun rose. Just as you were about to head back to bed, you felt the bed shift just as you had hours before. Your hair was brushed back but you kept your eyes closed. “I can tell you’re awake my love. Your heart increased the moment I sat down.” You groaned and opened your eyes, looking at Eddie and the way the moon cast a light onto his beautiful face. “That’s annoying. But kind of cool.” You mumbled.

He chuckled and brushed his fingers along your cheek. “Yeah…I know you told me to leave but it’s been a couple hours so I came back to check on you. I’m really sorry y/n. For hurting you and for saying those cruel things. I know you didn’t leave me there. You wouldn’t do that. I just got frustrated because god I did everything to get back to you. That’s all I wanted and you wanted me gone and I know why but it hurt so bad.” You went to say something but he interrupted you. “Wait…I know that you hurt a lot more and I should have thought about that and given you your space. I know this is a lot. Trust me I know baby girl. But god I don’t want to lose you and I’m willing to fight if you are.”

You took a deep breath and closed your eyes for a few seconds and when they reopened, you grabbed his free hand and held both of your hands to your chest. “Of course I want to fight Eddie. I’m supposed ti marry you. You are not getting rid of me that easy. Vecna will not win. If we have to, I will give you a little bit of my blood each day to push the cravings down and we can work through this. Would you consider that?” He nodded quickly, zero hesitation. “Yes yeah of course. Anything you prevent from hurting you and anything to be with you. If that’s what it takes. Also you want to marry me?”

You turned your head slightly on the pillow and nodded slowly. “Of course I do. I was shattered when I thought you were gone for good. I couldn’t marry the man of my dreams and you’re here and I can. I’ll just be waiting on you to make it come true.” You smiled and bit you lip softly. “Well I’m not doing it right now. I’ll make it special but for now, I need to make up for some things. And words may not mean much right now but I have something in mind.”

“Do you now?” Your eyes followed his movements as he climbed on top of you, arms keeping his weight off of you. “I’m going to make love to you baby. Like I always have before.” You felt your core tighten and you squeezed your legs together trying to relieve some pressure. “I love when you say make love instead of fuck.” You said softly, hand going up his shirt to touch his coke and hardened abs. “That’s because you’re more to me than a warm body. You’re my lover. My muse and I like to show how how much I love you and I’m not going to do extra shit. Too much time has passed. I don’t have the patience and I know you don’t either.” He removed your clothes as well as his own and pressed his fingers on your clit and circled it to get you stimulated. His fingers slipped a little from how wet you were and he growled softly. “You really have missed me.” You nodded and moaned, needing him already.

“Hearing your heart is so strange yet so amazing. Knowing I’m increasing it.” He lined up with you and wasted no time inserting himself inside of you, one hand come up behind your head and bringing himself down to kiss you while he pushed into you deeply. You moaned into the kiss and he avoided kissing your neck as he couldn’t trust him and moved down to your chest, taking a breast into his mouth as he moved in and out of you. You reached down to touch yourself, wanting the extra feeling but he grabbed your hand as well as the other one and pinned them above your head. “Eddie-“ He removed his mouth from your chest and cut you off by kissing you.

“No. I’m going to do everything to make you feel good.” He reached his own hand down and you jerked from the coldness but welcomed it as he circled your clit as he pushed in and out. You moaned loudly and grabbed Gus waist and squeezed as he moved faster and harder. “I feel you baby. God you feel amazing. My beautiful girl. Oh fuck.” He bit his lips and stared down at you and somehow that made this whole thing even hotter. Him staring at you while he made love to you. You could feel yourself getting close. He moved his hand away from you heat and wiped it off on the sheet and you were in too much pleasure to complain. He kissed you and you kissed back as he slammed into you and he hit your g spot. You moaned loudly into the kiss and came and he groaned, hands moving to grip your thighs as your orgasm coaxed his own.

You both rode each other down and breathed heavily as he finally came to a stop. He pulled out and collapsed next to you. Even after all of that, his body was still cold and you more then welcomed it, curling into him. “God that was so good. I missed that .” He chuckled and you smiled and nodded against him, his arms coming to wrap around you. “So good.” You agreed.

“So that’s the plan? Taking a little blood from you each day?” He said, playing with your hair. “Mhm.” You mumbled and breathed out. “I can’t believe you’re a vampire. It’s not hard to imagine seeing all the shit we’ve seen but my Eddie being forced into this shit. I’m so sorry.” He buried his head into your hair and kissed it. “It’s scary but I’m just glad to be back with you sweetheart. We can work through this.”

You nodded and stayed silent for a couple minutes. “Does your skin burn in the sun?” You questioned. He laughed and held you tighter. “You are something else. I’m not sure honestly. Maybe it sparkles. Hopefully it doesn’t do anything. Maybe I’ll just get a headache.” You looked up at him and brushed his long curls back. “I’m so happy you’re here eddie. The circumstances are unfortunate but you’re here.” He kissed your forehead. “I’m here and I’m not going anywhere. Also I’m able to sleep but I don’t get tired so late nights? Totally up for it. No pun intended.” You giggled and smacked his chest, moving your leg across his own. “That’s so weird but interesting.”

He mumbled something but you didn’t catch but no more words were said as you fell asleep in his cool arms, not waking up again for the rest of the night. Eddie watched you sleep, taking advantage of not getting tired. He liked watching you breathe and shift every now and then but never moving away from him.

As you slept he thought about how he would tell everyone else. He was sure his uncle would be shocked and he would have to come up with a lie to explain it without sending him into a heart attack. Telling the others wouldn’t be as hard cause they had seen so much that it wouldn’t be as much of a shock but he didn’t know how to break the news of being a vampire to them. Telling you wasn’t easy but he knew you wouldn’t judge him. You loved him and he knew that one hundred percent.

The hardest part about all of this in his opinion was for controlling the hunger and blood craving part but knowing you were going to work with him on it made him feel a lot better about all of it. Even though it was still hard for him to process, he did have time now to let things settle while he got used to having his life back with you and he would take advantage of that opportunity and find a way to propose to you and make you his forever like he always planned.

Tell me something only you would know

Summary: after seeing Eddie die, you were broken and barely hanging on. It was so hard without the love of your life and knowing you were forced to leave him lying there was eating at you. But when you wake up and see him sitting at your bedside, you are now forced to question everything.

It gets happy then angsty

Warnings: cussing, mentions of blood, yelling, fluff, angst.

Now enjoy and please send me requests!! Also let me know if you want a part two.

—————————————————————————-

Pain. That was all you felt while you were standing in your bedroom staring at the photos of you and Eddie slid in the crevices of your standing mirror. The memories no longer bringing you joy knowing you won’t ever see him again. You had considered burning them, hoping it would ease your pain. But you knew it wouldn’t and then you would end up forgetting what he looked like. You were already terrified of forgetting his voice because you knew that it would destroy you so you played the voicemail he left on your landline over and over again to ensure that it didn’t happen.

Your fingers lightly brushed over the picture of Eddie holding you from behind and you smiling from ear to ear. Dustin had taken the picture and it was such a sweet memory. But now it felt like everything about him and you was fading. You gulped and walked away before you broke down again. You had work today after missing almost a month. You didn’t want to go back but your sister max had begged you to go back, fearing you being alone would cause more damage.

You had agreed only to not upset her and also because you did need the money. You worked at the video store with Steve and Robin so it was easy to get away with calling off so much. But you knew it wasn’t fair to them either. So here you were, putting on the stupid uniform you were required to where and going to a place where you would be forced to distract yourself from the pain of losing your lover.

“Y/N! Are you getting ready?” Max called from the kitchen of your small trailer. Which was another h painful reminder of Eddie. His trailer was right across from yours and it killed you to see Wayne coming and going every day and no sight of Eddie. He always came over after he was finished working at the car shop and would either just hold you or make love to you. You wiped a tear that fell from your eye and called out to max. “Yes. I’m ready now.” You grabbed your car keys and walked out of your room and to the kitchen where max stood, eyes full of pity.

“Don’t.” You said, annoyance clear in your voice. She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion and went to ask what you meant but you beat her to it. “Don’t use the pity face on me, okay? You’re the one who wanted me to go back. Don’t feel bad for me now that I am.” You grabbed your purse that you always tossed on the table and went to leave. “Hey! You don’t get to get mad at me. I’m sorry okay? I’m sorry this happened to you but I’m your sister. And I’ve been here for you. Don’t lash out. I just want you to be okay.”

You sighed and looked at her. “You’re right. I’m sorry. You have been there for me and I appreciate it. I love you. But max, I won’t be okay for a really long time and you’re just gonna have to accept that…” You frowned and left the trailer, shutting the door behind you. You felt for your younger sister. She was in a rough place too and it seemed she was taking care of you and not the other way around. It wasn’t right but you had no clue what to do anymore. Eddie always guided you whether he knew it or not and now it felt like you were walking down the path where there was no light and no ending. Just a dark void and nothing to look forward to.

You got into your car and started it, letting the cool air hit your face. The radio played automatically and you froze when the song came into earshot. ‘Should I stay or should I go?’ That was your song with Eddie. He was a metal head but he knew you weren’t and so you had compromised on a song you could share and this was it. You broke down and shut off the radio, no longer trying to force your feelings to stay in check.

You took a few deep breaths to calm yourself down and put your car into drive then took off towards work. Maybe this could be a good way to get your mind off things. At least you would hope.

Once you arrived, you pulled into a parking spot and parked the car. You shut your car off and just sat in the drivers seat trying to mentally prepared yourself for the day ahead of you. You took a deep breath and grabbed your things, getting out of the car and heading inside the store.

The bells jingled, announcing your arrival and Steve looked from the counter. “Hello- holy shit Y/N.” He breathed out and smiled as he hopped over the counter and picked you up, engulfing you in a hug. You grunted but wrapped your arms around his neck. “Hi Steve.” You sighed in relief, not realizing how much you missed his arms. Steve was like a brother to you and god did you love him like one. You had barely seen him since everything happened. You had barely seen anyone, telling max to not let anyone in. But now seeing him in person, made you realize how much you need to see people. Being alone really had made it worse.

“Fuck I’ve missed you girl.” He kissed your head and placed you back on the ground. You smiled and looked up at him, hand moving up to ruffle his hair. “I’ve missed you too. I’m so sorry for not reaching out or letting you reach other. I’ve been doing really bad and just couldn’t be around people but I’m ready now.” He shook his head and looked at you softly. “Don’t apologize. You needed time and I understand. You know we’re here for you. Robin!” He yelled towards the back and a crash was heard before Robin came out. “What you asshole?” She said. Her eyes widened when she saw you and she squealed, jumping over the counter the same way Steve had and wrapped you in her arms.

You chuckled and hugged her. “Y’all have a door. Why do you jump over the counter?” Steve shrugged from the side, hands on his hips mom style. “More fun.” You smiled and buried your face in robins neck as she held onto you. Eventually she pulled back and took a look at you. “How you doing babes?” You were brought back to your pained mine and you shrugged causing a sad look to form on robins face. “Um I definitely could be better. I miss him…” your voice cracked but you cleared your throat. You were not going to cry right now.

“Oh honey. I know.” She rubbed your arm and pulled you in for another hug. “I’m so sorry.”You felt Steve placed a hand on your back and you smiled softly knowing you really did have support. You pulled back soon enough and sighed. “Thank you. But I don’t want to dwell. I’m finally back and I just need a distraction. No talk about him while we’re here.” Robin nodded quickly and put her hands up. “Scouts honor. No talk. Let’s get to work then.” She smiled and led you behind the counter and there the day started.

The day had went by much faster than you had hoped. Usually you loved when works days were over so soon but the distraction from him had been relieving to say the least. Heading home was the last thing you wanted to do but you were so exhausted and you just wanted to lie down and sleep. On the way home, thoughts filled your head once again and you gripped the steering wheel trying to calm yourself.

You managed well enough and finally reached the trailer park, parking in your usual spot. You got out and headed straight inside, trying your best to avert your eyes from the trailer you once knew and loved. The remnants of it anyways. Once you stepped inside, you noticed max was gone and you sighed. She had left a note on the fridge that said, ‘went to hang out with the boys. See you later’ You had hoped you would be able to talk to her but that hope vanished, leaving you to just want to sleep. and so you did.

You didn’t bother doing much except brush your teeth and brushed your hair. You removed your uniform and got into your bed, covering your body with the comforter. Sleep came quick and took over your body. Your dreams or rather nightmares were filled with Eddie. Some good and some bad but always in between.

At some point during the night, you felt the bed shift and you groaned softly when a cold sensation crept over your cheek. Your eyes slowly opened and you were met with a large figure with long hair. You gasped and flailed around trying to get away but the covers wouldn’t move from your body. “Shh hey it’s okay.” The deeper voice tried to comfort you. That was not max. You quickly flipped on the light and the scream that left your mouth startled you and him. Eddie was sitting there before you, pale and eyes red but there.

He put his hand over your mouth which was enough to make you realize what that coldness was. “I’m not removing my hand until you promise not to scream.” He said softly. He sounded the same at least. You nodded slowly and he slowly removed his hand making sure you were going to keep your promise. “What the fuck?” You sobbed, relieved yet terrified at the same time. “I watched you die. I-in my arms. You died. You stopped breathing. H-how?” He grabbed your hands but you yanked them away which resulted in him giving you a sad look. “Baby I know you’re scared but let me explain. Please my love.”

“How do you even explain this? Why has it taken you this long to come back if you were alive? I’ve been mourning you and you’ve been alive this entire time!?” You slapped him and he pursed his lips. “Ow.” He stated simply and looked at you . “If you let me explain, I swear to you I will tell you everything. Because yes I’ve been alive for a little but I couldn’t find a way out baby. But god I’ve been trying.” You shook your head in disbelief. “No. This can’t be real. Get away from me.” You finally shoved the covers off and ran to the door but before you could open it, Eddie was already in front of you. You screamed and fell backwards onto your back. “H-how did you do that?” You whimpered in fear. “Are you okay?” He reached for you but you backed up. “Don’t touch me.” You stood up and ran to the window but he grabbed your arm and yanked you back. “Get off me!” You yelled and he gripped your face. “Fucking stop y/n!” He growled and you cowered. Remorse filled his face and he let go of your face but his grip on your arm remained. “I’m sorry. But you have to listen. Please sweetheart.” You still couldn’t comprehend and it felt like you were staring at a corpse and it fucking scared you. “No’! You’re not real!” You yelled and kicked him in the dick hard. He groaned and his grip loosened enough to where you could push past him and run to the door. You managed to open it and rush to the kitchen where you tried to find a knife

You weren’t sure if it would do much but you didn’t know what else to do. You shoved opened drawers and by the time you found one, you were slammed against the wall. You let out a soft cry as you did so and the knife was slung out of your hands and he pinned your hands against the wall in a tight grip. “Ow you’re hurting me.” You whimpered and he felt horrible but he needed you to stop. “I’m sorry. I’m not trying to but I need you to listen. Baby please. I’m begging you. I’m real. I’m here. I’m alive.” He finally let out a sob. “I had to run away from Vecna to come back to you, the love of my life.” You shook your head. “No no. This can’t be happening. This is not real. I’m dreaming. I always do…” you closed your eyes and he huffed out, clearly frustrated. “You’re not dreaming. God just fucking look at me. Stop trying to avoid this.” He begged.

You opened your eyes and looked at him, really looked at him and even though he had pale skin and red eyes, he was still your Eddie. Your boyfriend. “How am I supposed to know what’s real and what’s not? How do I know you’re real ? How do I know you’re not vecna? Tell me something only you would know…” his grip loosened a little but he still didn’t let you go, fearing you would run and he would lose you again. “Okay um when we first had sex, I discovered the tattoo right under-“ “okay! It’s you. God it’s actually you.” You sobbed and he let you go and picked you up and you Immediately responded wrapping your arms and legs around him. “I’m so sorry I didn’t listen. It didn’t feel real. There was no way but you’re here. Im sorry.”

“Don’t. Don’t you dare apologize. I would have had the same reaction. And I’m sorry I lashed out like that but I needed you to hear me.” He kissed all over your face and then finally reached your lips and captured them in a kiss. You smiled into the kiss and wrung your fingers in his hair. “I hear you. I see you. I love you so much eddie. God I thought you were gone forever.” He backed you up into the wall and kept kissing you, his lips roughly smashing against yours as if you truly wouldn’t see each other again.

He moaned against your lips and gripped your waist. You moaned as well as he moved down to your neck and peppered the skin there with open mouth kisses, his tongue slightly grazing your sensitive nerves causing a a whimper of pleasure to escape your lips. His weight was almost crushing but you couldn’t seem to notice or care because of the intensity of the situation.

“Wait.” You gasped and he pulled back to look at you. “As much as I want this. Can you just hold me? Please.” He captured your lips once more in a slow, sweet kiss and nodded. “Yes of course. I would want nothing more.” He placed you down and grabbed your hand, leading you back to your room. Once you got there, Eddie got into bed and opened his arms inviting you into them. You gladly accepted and climbed into bed and pulled the covers over both of you and settled into his arms.

He was cold but the moment felt so warm and so serene. You started crying softly and he lifted your chin up with this thumb and index finger. “What’s wrong princess?” You hiccuped and looked at him, tears falling down your face. “I just never thought you’d ever hold me again. And you are. You’re right here.” You touch his face and place your forehead against his. “I’m here baby” he whispered “and I’m not going anywhere and I promise that you will be safe and I won’t let anything else hurt you. I’ll fucking kill anything that does.” He cocked his head and kissed you to which you responded immediately.

He buried his head in your neck which ended up being a bad idea because the scent of you rushed to his nose. A burning sensation covered his throat as well as dryness and a deep hunger he hadn’t felt since he arrived. “God you smell so good.” His teeth started to ache as his fangs grew and sharpened and he opened his mouth slightly. Just a taste, he thought to himself.

He sunk his teeth into your neck and you gasped and froze. He drank you blood and moaned as he did so, the sweetness covering every inch of his mouth satisfying him. “Eddie…Eddie stop. It hurts.” He heard the words you were saying but he couldn’t comprehend as he was too engrossed in how you tasted. He sunk his fangs event further and you whimpered but this time in pain. You were becoming lightheaded and felt your eyes rolling into the back of your head. “E-Eddie. Pl-please.”

By the time he pulled away, blood was dribbling from his mouth and was smeared on your neck, two holes punctured through your neck. You were on the edge of passing out when he came to his senses. “No…no no no. Y/N. Oh fuck no. Oh baby I’m so sorry. I’m-I didnt mean to.” He whispered as his red and veiny eyes came down and his teeth went back to normal. “Baby girl please wake up. I don’t know what to do.”He watched you pass out and gripped his own hair, cursing himself out. He bit his wrist and let blood come out before he placed it on your lips, forcing it into your mouth. He didn’t know if this would work but from the movies he has seen, it was his only idea.

He sighed in relief when he saw the wounds healing up but you were completely out and he didn’t know for how long. He just now managed to get you back and he hurt you after just promising you nothing ever would. You would never forgive him. He sobbed and held you in his arms.

He just hoped that you would understand and that you would work things through with him. Because there were many things to work through. Starting with hunger control and relearning everything he has ever known.

I got you

Summary; it was your first time ever since your assault and you were scared but ready to go further with Eddie. Knowing your concerns, he assures you he’s going to take care of you and make you feel good.

Warnings: sex, mentions of SA, cussing, fingering

—💜—💜 —💜—💜 —💜—💜 —💜—💜 —💜—💜

You were ready to go there with Eddie. You had been with him for over 6 months and he had never one pressured you into doing anything. He would mention things but never actually suggested it knowing what happened to you.

After being sexual assaulted at a party, you had ever been able to be with a man again. You had been with many partners all of which had tried to have sex with you but you couldn’t bring yourself to do it. But with Eddie, the feeling of wanting is was starting to come back.

You didn’t know if it was because of his respect and care for your boundaries or if he was just attractive and made you feel aroused. No you definitely knew. It was both.

Which is where it led to now. You sitting crisscrossed on Eddie’s bed, him facing you waiting on you to tell him what you so desperately needed to tell him in person. “I’m ready.” You blurted. He looked at your dumbfounded. “Ready? For what? That could mean so many things, babe.” You chuckled and sighed, running a hand through your hair nervously. “Sorry. I’m nervous.” He grabbed your hands and ran his thumbs over the knuckles. “Don’t be nervous, honey. I’m listening.”

“I want to have sex with you…” you said after a couple minutes of pondering. He let you think and build up the courage, never interrupting your thoughts or rushing you. His eyes widened and his thumb movements stopped as he stared at you, once again dumbfounded. You giggled and looked at him. “I want you to have sex with me. If you’re okay with it.” You said as you bit your lip nervously. He smiled and cupped your cheek with one day. “I am more than okay with it baby.”

You sighed in relief and content. “I know it’s been a while since we’ve gotten together and I’m sure you’ve thought about it. I didn’t think I would ever want to again but Eddie you’ve been so kind and so respectful and I guess it turned me on? Which source crazy I know but I just, I’m ready. But I am nervous…it’s been 2 years since I’ve Ya know…done anything. I mean I’ve tried touching myself but it just feels weird.”

He caressed your face and looked at you softly. “Hey. Baby girl, it’s okay to be nervous and ready at the same time. You were wronged and it changed you, hurt you. But I would never do anything you didn’t want to do. You tell me what to do and I’ll do it. No matter what okay?” He quietly said. You nod and blushed then cleared your throat as you adjusted on the bed.

He leaned over and cupped both of your cheeks with his hands and kissed you softly. You sighed and responsed, locking your lips with his. He smiled into the kiss, ready to show you how you should be treated. He pulled his hand into your hair towards the back of your head and kissed you deeply, causing you to moan slightly.

Making out with him was nothing new. That was as far as you want usually but this time it felt different.

He pulled away from your lips and kissed your jawline before moving down to your neck. He pushed you down on the bed and you uncrosses your legs to lay down flat. He hovered over you and left a trail of open mouth kisses along your neck. You sigh softly and close your eyes. “God that feels good.” You announce and grab his arm that is stationed above your head.

“Good. But this is only the beginning my love.” You opened your eyes and he is looking down at you with a smirk. Although the smirk has lust in it, you can see the softness in it too. He meant what he said. He was going to do whatever you wanted and damn it he was going to make it good. “But if I do something you don’t like, tell me. I’m serious, okay?” You nod and he shakes his head. “Use your words baby girl.”

“Yes. I promise I’ll tell you.” He smiled and started to lift your shirt off of your head. You sat up slightly to let him remove it then laid back down. He looked down at your cleavage and grab one of your boobs through the bra. “God you’re beautiful.” You bit your lip as he reached under you and easily unclipped your bra and took it off, throwing it somewhere in the room.

He leaned down and cupped one in his hand and took the other in his mouth, licking around your nipple. You moaned softly as he messaged the other one. He switched after a couple seconds and already you were feeling euphoric. His mouth was working wonders and you didn’t want it to stop.

He started to kissed down your chest and to your stomach, leaving soft peppering kisses along your abdomen, trailing his tongue every so often. You closed your eyes again and your hand went into his hair. He kissed your bellybutton and slightly bit the skin next to it cashing you to flinch a little but in a good way.

He chuckled and leaned up, unzipping your pants. You felt a little nervous and gulped and fidgeted a little. He stopped immediately and looked up. “Hey give me the one and this stops.” You shook your head quickly. “No no don’t stop. I’m sorry. I’m just nervous.” He ran his hand up your body until he reached your waist and slightly rubbed your sides with his thumbs. “Baby girl, I got you.” You smiled and nodded, biting your lip. “I trust you. I’m ready.”

He smiled and removed your pants, leaving you in just your underwear. “How come I’m almost naked and you’re fully clothed?” You said, seductive glint in your eyes. He smirked and hovered over you, mouth next to your ear. “If you wanted me naked, you could have just asked.”

Your cheeks turned bright red at the comment making him laugh. “I’m just playing with you.” He took off his shirt, revealing his tattoo right above his chest. Your eyes widened slightly. “damn you’re beautiful.” He chuckled and raised his eyebrows making you blush again. “Well that’s a new one. But thank you. I try.”

You pulled him down and kissed him passionately, your hands tugging his hair. He kissed back and groaned at the pain yet pleasure of his hair being pulled. He bit your bottom lip and then pulled away. He kissed down your body, smirking seeing you arch when he reached just above your panty line. He looked up at you, eyes asking for permission. You nodded and he gave you look. “Yes. Yes continue.”

He kissed downwards until he reached your vagina. He pulled your underwear off and tossed them just like everything else. Your feet clenched in excitement already feeling what was about to happen. He kissed your inner thighs and then kissed you there causing you to close your eyes and grip the sheets. He ran his fingers over your folds and even you could feel how wet you were. “God baby you’re soaked.” He leaned down again and started eating you out, flicking his tongue over your clit. You moaned and your toes curled over the sensation of what he was doing to you.

He inserted a finger and curled it as he moved it. You gasped and moaned, your breathing getting heavier by the second. “Oh yes. Jesus. Ohh.” You whimpered in pleasure as he inserted another finger. “God you’re sexy when you moan.” You gulped as you started feeling a climax. “Oh I think I’m coming shit.” He immediately pulled away and you stared at him in disbelief. “What are you doing? Don’t stop.” You whined.

He chuckled and grabbed a condom. “Trust me baby. You’re gonna understand in a minute.” He removed the rest of his clothes and his penis sprang free and he was definitely hard for you. He slipped the condom on after ripping open the packaging with his teeth which was fucking hot in your opinion.

You were aching and fidgeting needing to feel the pleasure again. He hovered over you and kissed you deeply in which you responded immediately. He kissed your neck again and lined himself up with you. “Are you sure? I swear I will stop if this is too much because I am about to insert into you.” You nodded eagerly. “Yes. I swear I’m sure.”

He nodded and kissed you as he pushed himself inside of you. You gasped at the feeling and gripped his arms that were by your shoulders holding himself up. “You okay?” He asked and you bit your lip and nodded. “Yes. It’s just a foreign feeling but god please continue.”

He chuckled and started moving slowly at first to get you used to the feeling before he went further. The aching in you faded but grew stronger all at the same time. You wrapped your arms around his neck and bit your lip feeling him inside you. “Faster.” You grunted softly and he nipped at your arm and started pushing in and out of you faster. Your toes dug into the sheets and you moaned loudly feeling what he was talking about. Suddenly you were happy you didn’t reach your climax while he was touching you down there. This was 10 times better.

He looked down at you as he filled you up. His hair was cascading over your face like a curtain and you removed your arms from his neck to push his hair out of his face and behind his ears. He smiled and leaned down, kissing you as his thrusts became harder. You moaned into the kiss and bit his bottom lip slightly. He groaned and buried his face into your neck as he kept fucking you.

“Feels so good. Fuck.” You breathed out. He nodded in agreement as he licked and kissed your neck. “More.” You gripped his arms again and he started moving faster and deeper. You moaned and dug your fingernails into his arm. “So close.” He breathed heavily and brought his hand into your hair as he pounded into you feeling his own climax reaching.

He reached down and rubbed your clit with his thumb. That sent you over the edge and you cried out in pleasure as you came and it brought his own orgasm out as well. He slowed his movements down until both of you were okay enough for him to pull out. He finally did and tossed the condom away.

He collapsed next to you and just held you for a minute while you caught your breaths. Once he calmed down, he stood up and kissed your head. “I’ll be right back babe.” He walked off to the kitchen and you laid down as you looked up at the ceiling. You did it. You actually had sex and it was real and it was amazing.

Thinking about what happened to you and what was happening now really was a lot to have on your mind. You felt anxiety creeping it’s way into your body but it went away when Eddie came back with a wet warm rag and a glass of water. He set the water down on the nightstand and got onto the bed. “I’m just going to clean you up.” You nodded and he ran the rag over your vagina, wiping it clean. You jerked a little bit with you being so sensitive and he took the rag away as he chuckled. “Sorry, love. I know you’re like tingling down there.” You laughed and your cheeks burned red. “Yeah I guess you could say that.”

He smiled and threw the rag away and then crawled back up to the top of the bed. He pulled you both under the covers and kissed you once again before pulling you to his chest. “You feel okay?” You nodded and breathed deeply. “Yeah I’m perfect. Thank you Eddie. And not just for the sex. Just for caring and being so gentle.” He rubbed your back and held onto you. “Of course my love. I love you so much and I will never hurt you.” You smiled and rated your head on his chest, eyes shutting. “I love you too.” He played with your hair and shut his own as well. “Go to sleep girl. I’ll still be here.” You barely nodded before drifting off to sleep, feeling happy and blissful. Eddie was the one and tonight was very clear on that.

Can u do some clingy asf Eddie like especially when he’s drunk he’s gotta constantly be hugging and kissing his girlfriend. Like maybe there at a party and Eddie gets like SO DRUNK and is so attached to his gf and is constantly holding her hand and telling her how pretty she is and people look at them weirdly because of how clingy and touchy they are at the party but he doesn’t care. Sorry if that’s too long hahaha but idk maybe it’s a good idea 😂

yes absolutely! Thank you for sending in the request!

Also I thought I would try to write a more short one for those of you who don’t like long ass stories. As always, requests are open!!

Being at a party with Eddie was definitely not something you had expected or even planned. But when the invitations went out, you decided it would be a good idea to get Eddie out and have some fun.

You wouldn’t say it was a bad idea now that you were here but it was…different. Eddie was on his third drink of the night and although he wasn’t a bad drunk, he was very clingy and lovey.

Even now, he had his arm wrapped around you for the last ten minutes and would occasionally grip your waist or kiss your head. You guys were talking to your friend group when he leaned over and whispered in your ear. “You are so beautiful. Have I told you that yet?” He slightly slurred. You raised your eyebrows and chuckled as you looked at him. “Yes. You’ve told me that at least 10 times tonight. And once again, thank you.”

He kissed your cheek and wrapped you in his arms. “I love touching you.” He breathed in your scent and sighed.

Robin was staring at him and gave him a weird look but shook her head and went back to talking to Nancy and Steve.

“Hey babe? How about we to dance or something?” You suggested hoping it would take his mind off of you because people were now staring. “Oo yes. Dancing sounds fun with you.” You deadpanned and rolled your eyes but took his hand and went off anyways. As soon as you walked into the dance floor, he grabbed your hand and pulled you to him and swayed with you.

You sighed at your failed attempt and just danced with him. He leaned down and kissed you unexpectedly and you were taken aback but responded, tasting the slight hint of rum. “Mmm. Woah there muchaho.” You chuckled and pulled away. “I can taste the alcohol on you. Maybe we should wait for kissing until your sober and you’ve cleaned up.”

He pouted. “One more? Just one and that’s it. Promise.” You sighed but complied as you kissed him once more. He kissed back and and sighed of content. He smacked your ass and you squealed softly thankful for the loud music and glared at him. “What? I had to.” You pursed your lips and shook your head. “God you’re so drunk.”

“Yeah drunk for youuuu.” He chuckled and spun you around and brought you back to his chest. You giggled and looked up at him. He looked down at you and brushed hair out of your face before cupping your cheek. You thought maybe he sobered up a bit and was giving you a sweet moment but nope. He squished your cheeks and then smiled. “I’m gonna go get another drink.”

“No! Absolutely no. You’re done. We’re going home.” You grabbed his hand and started leading him out of the house. “Ugh you’re no fun. But fine I’m tired anyways.” You chuckled and watched him stumbled his way to the van. Your eyes widened when you saw he was trying to get into the drivers seat. You ran off after him with only one thought in your head. ‘What I am gonna do with him?’

It gives love and respect so yes I will write something similar. Hope you like it! And again, feel free to send me requests. I love writing and want to make a reality for you guys and a safe place!

Summary: Eddie is frustrated because he can’t find his hellfire shirt for the club and he blows up at you when you try to help causing tension that turns into a sweet confession.

Involves: verbally fighting, cussing, angst then romance and fluff

—🔥—🔥 —🔥—🔥 —🔥—🔥 —🔥—🔥 —🔥—🔥

It was a normal Tuesday night, one where you sat in Eddie’s bed reading one of his ferocious comics while he prepped for the hellfire club that was held at his trailer. It wasn’t the most ideal place but during the summer, it’s not like they could hold it during school and they didn’t want to get behind on the game. Lord, that would be a nightmare and not just for them.

You were just flipping the page to start the next part of the comic when you heard Eddie yell out. “Fuck! Where is it!?” You placed the comic on the bed, pages down to hold your place and called out to him in the living room. “You okay Ed’s?” He groaned and burst into the room, slightly startling you. He seemed on edge and it concerned you considering he was typically calm about stuff.

“No I’m not okay. My club is in 1 hour and I can’t find my fucking shirt. Will you get up so I can look in the bed?” You furrowed your eyebrows. “I don’t think it’s gonna be-“ you stopped short when he glared at you and you pursed your lips and stood up. He flipped the covers up and around everywhere but still the shirt was missing. The comic fell to the floor from all the tossing of the blankets and he let out a string of curse words. “Okay okay. Hey we’re gonna find it. Just retrace your steps baby.” He scoffed and looked at you, the look of ‘are you dumb’ etched across his face. “No really? You don’t think I’ve tried that?”

You took a deep breath to calm yourself knowing he was just projecting his frustration. “Okay you don’t have to be an ass. I’m just trying to help.” He threw his hands up and let them fall, hitting his legs with a smack sound. “If you want to help, start looking please. I don’t want to talk. I want to find the damn shirt. You telling me it’s gonna be okay doesn’t help me find out where it is.”

You rolled your eyes but didn’t say another word as you started looking. You knew he would apologize as soon as he found it but it still wasn’t okay and that would for sure be a conversation they would have. You lifted up thrown clothes and objects but found nothing. You knew it was here though because you had just washed it not too long ago and you were the only reason this place was organized.

You made him wash his clothes frequently because he tended to wear the same clothes on a daily basis and it grossed you out. The only reason the shirt would be gone is if Eddie moved out looking for another article of clothing because you always kept it in the same place knowing he had his clubs.

“I just washed the shirt not too long ago. Have you checked drawers?” His eyes shot up and a look of anger crossed his features. “Why do you never tell me when you wash my clothes? You know I don’t like when you just organize shit and don’t tell me where things are…”He huffed. You raised your eyebrows, hands going on hips. “Maybe because I’m the only one who ever cleans around here. You just throw shit everywhere and wonder why you can’t find it. I always keep it in the same place Eddie. Not my fault you move shit.”

“Okay fuck you Y/N. I’m perfectly fine with how I live. No one asked you to do shit and no one wants you to. So honestly just fucking leave if you’re gonna be a bitch. Because I’m fucking done with it!” He finally snapped, his voice raising. You flinched at his words, knowing he knew how deeply words like that affected you. Your throat closed up as your tried to keep your tears in but one managed to escape. You cleared your throat and grabbed your stuff, not even bothering to look at him.

Eddie seemed to understand to the full extent of what he just said and cursed under his breath, eyes shutting tightly. He got angry when frustrated and he knew he needed to get help for but because how he acted was not okay. You were so good to him and he could be such an ass. God he was an idiot. “Wait fuck no don’t go. I didn’t mean that.”

You scoffed softly, sniffing as you wiped another tear. “I kinda think you did but it’s cool. Hope you find the shirt.” You brushed past him, avoiding eye contact. He was quick to grab you wrist and pull you back to him. “Hey hey I’m sorry Y/N. I really didn’t mean it baby girl. I know I have an anger issue and I know I get angry when frustrated and I take it out on other people and it’s fucked up. I plan to work on it and get help but it doesn’t excuse shit. I’m sorry.”

You looked up at him and shrugged. “I appreciate you apologizing but that wasn’t just you projecting or letting anger out. You called me names and told me to leave. That’s not accidental.” You bit your lip, feeling it quivering. He shook his head and gulped, the nerves working their way up inside his body. He was scared he royally fucked up. Scared you were gonna end it right there.

“I know I know. And fuck I’m so so so fucking sorry. I know it’s not accidental but I didn’t mean it. You’re not a bitch. God you could never be. You’re the sweetest woman on this planet and I don’t deserve you and I understand that. I will cancel the club tonight and do something with you to make it up. I know it’s gonna take more than an apology but please let me.” He bit his lip this time, clearly out of nervousness and you sighed, looking away.

“I don’t know…” he cupped your cheeks with his hands and turned your head so you would look him on the eye. He caressed your cheeks with his thumbs and looked down at you softly. “I love you.” You gasped softly and your breath then got caught in your throat. “W-what?” Those three words you had been dying to hear finally escaped his lips and it was like you couldn’t fully process that you were hearing it.

“I love you Y/N. I know this isn’t the most ideal situation to be expressing this right now but it’s the only way I can explain how sorry I am. Because I love you and I’m willing to prove it to you.” You let out a soft crying sound and leaned up, kissing him with zero hesitation. He immediately wrapped his arms around you, kissing you back with the same energy. His hands trailed up your backs and back down trying to feel you. You pulled back after a couple seconds and smiled. “I love you too…so much eddie.” He sighed in relief and rested his hands on your waist. “Good because I’m cancelling the club tonight and we’re gonna watch your favorite movie and get your favorite take out, on me. And when we find that stupid shirt, I’m gonna put it on your sexy ass.”

You giggled and played with the hem of his shirt. “Sounds like a plan to me.” He chuckled but then got serious again. “Seriously though Y/N. I really am sorry for how I acted and what I said. I need to work on myself and I’m ready to do that. With you by my side I hope.” You looked at him softly and nodded. “Of course I’ll be by your side baby. All I want is for you to be happy and if me being here does that, then I’m here as long as I’m welcome.”

He shook his head and a smirk came across his lips. “You speak so wise.” You laughed and held his hand. “Got it from my mom.” He kissed your head and held you in his arms, trying to remove all the tension he had created.

The rest of the night was spent watching stupid movies and eating from the local dinner. It was the perfect way to end the night and getting Eddie help for his issues were discussed and planned and you were so proud of him. He was a real one for accepting he needed the help and that was enough to keep you there. You fell asleep in his arms and all the worries left for the night.
