"Honey, do you remember how we met?"
[Name] asked their husband of 6 years as they flip through their old journal, reliving their countless embarrassing, bitter and sweet memories of their youth.
They had been sifting through the storage closet earlier when they stumbled upon a box containing their old belongings dating back from when they were still studying in high school until they got married to their husband, Derek.
"Of course I do, it's the day I met the love of my life" He says with a smile on his face.
"Psh.. you're so cheesy Derry" [Name] swatted their husband's shoulder playfully, flustered at his words.
"What? I'm being honest. Every moment spent with you is unforgettable" A dark glint was present in his eyes as he uttered his reply.
How could he ever forget the day he met his beloved [Name]?
«─────��� « ⋅ʚ💌ɞ⋅ » ──────»
Derek had been in his senior year of high school by the time he met [Name].
They had only recently moved to his hometown and enroll to the high school. He could still recall their timid expression as they asked him for directions, at that moment Derek brushed off the encounter as a one time thing.
He was graduating and they were a junior, he'll probably won't see them again.
Until Derek started to bump into [Name] more frequently albeit it being only a coincidence. [Name] would notice his presence and greeted him with a small wave everytime they pass by each other in the hallway or waiting in line during lunch.
Eventually, he finally spoke to them one day. It felt odd for him to be around them yet never uttering a single word.
It was the best decision he ever made.
"Uhㅡhey" Derek cursed himself inwardly for choking on his words.
[Name]'s eyes widened, spooked to hear him talk to them. They mustered up a crooked smile after recollecting themself to reply to him.
"Derek, hi. Sorry, I was on my phone that I didn't notice you behind me"
From then, something shifted in him. Their conversation faded into a white noise in his ears as his thoughts became fixated in [Name]'s voice.
He had heard them speak before but it felt different when they're talking to him. Their voice engraving itself into his brain like an earworm.
It doesn't stop there, their interaction expanded as their friendship blooms. [Name] would seek him out on subjects they were struggling on despite having other student who would eagerly help themㅡ his heart swells with pride knowing that it's him whom they're relying on.
Derek would also began inviting them to his football practice as an excuse to invite them for an ice cream laterㅡ and to also flex his athleticism in hopes of receiving praises from them.
He's not stupid, he knows that he likes themㅡ loves them. Maybe he had been a fool for underestimating his feelings for them.
It had been an unfortunate timing that he had never been able to confess to [Name] as his graduation passes and he was wrapped up with preparing for his higher education.
Those times away and distance from [Name] were hellish. Derek felt his sanity wanning with each day passes and his thoughts were constantly thinking of [Name].
What are they doing, Where they're at, Who they're withㅡ They don't have a partner don't they? They didn't replace me did they?? I'll kill that bastard who took my placㅡ
He finally cracked after stalking through their social media page and seeing the other student having grown close to them within months of his absence.
Derek decided that he's had enough sitting around in the sidelines with an aching heart. He'll make his move and insured that [Name] will be his.
«────── « ⋅ʚ💌ɞ⋅ » ──────»
"I then drove back to back from my university to yours for years until I finally had enough and decided to ask you to move in with me" He traced the picture they took on their first day moving into his house.
[Name] snorted and pinched their husband's cheek, laughing as they teased him.
"Silly, you, I can't believe you rent out an apartment just because you can't be away from me anymore"
Derek huffed and flipped to the next page, tracing [Name]'s photo as he always does everytime he sees it.
"I love you too much, it hurt's to not be around your presence. I feel like I was going to die with each hour passes without you"
"Mmh sure, how come you never died after leaving me everytime you have to go back?" [Name] attempt at poking at their husband again.
Only to receive an unexpected answer.
"I never left" Derek uttered. No elaboration whatsoever.
Silence follows after as the cogs in [Name]'s brain turn to process what their sweet stupid dork husband just said.
Derek closed the journal shut and stood up, planting a kiss on their temple.
"I'm going to prepare dinner now. You better come and eat when I call you before continuing your clean up! No buts and ifs, okay love?" He gave them another kiss before disappearing into the kitchen.
Come to think of it, Derek had re-entered their life at a time where their newfound friend tragically passed in a mysterious incident. [Name] had been devastated and clung to Derek for comfort before it eventually delved into them being in a relationship with the man.
Everything was perfect. Too perfect if they had to be honest. It's almost as if he had planned it.
They shook off the thoughts and continued sorting through the old boxes when one of the contents surprised them.
It was the items they thought they had lost or threw away. But how could Derek have it when they had lost it before they begun dating. The polaroids were also odd as Derek weren't around during their senior year when it was takenㅡ if the dates marked was correct.
"Honey! Dinner's ready"
They'll ask him about it later.

but uhmmm here u go :D
swiss stuff:
he's actually much more of a cat person than a dog person (he still likes dogs tho)
and like, don't get me wrong- he loves cats in general
but he loves the chaotic, crack head, stupid ones especially
they match his energy and he thinks they're super cute
i feel like he (along with mountain) were the types as kits to bring in random animals like raccoons, opossums, etc and then just carry it around
like bring the animals to [the] papa[s] and just be like "look what i caught! can we keep him?!"
he has a red lava lamp that he once got for christmas from sodo in his room but it doesn't work right bc he shook it up
as a kit, he used to google different ways to prank people and he'd go on chaos sprees (commonly joined by dew as well)
poor rain suffered the most of his antics
he wasn't really close with any of the ghouls or ghoulettes specifically when he was new to them
he still isn't
he loves all equally, even if the others aren't the same way
peed in a sink once when he was high + drunk
mountain's personal bedroom bathroom sink specifically
whenever he sees babies, he smiles big (it scares them sometimes)
used to have a major biting problem when he was younger
copia got him oral fidget toys
literally knawed on that shit constantly
likes the feeling of chewing rubber
has a very broad music taste
phantom/aeon stuff:
when he was newer and needed ppl around to make sure he wouldn't get himself in any kind of trouble, all of the ghouls and papa were busy
so they left him with the ghoulettes
and they all watched mean girls together
he genuinely really liked the movie
but he was really easily spooked when he was first summoned
so the part when regina george got hit with the bus jump scared him
secretly related to that one character who didn't go to the school in that scene in the gymnasium (i hope this is specific enough)
thinks liz gillies is super pretty
also has a very wide music taste
he and swiss have a playlist they made together on spotify of songs they like and it's so much shit mixed together it feels like a fever dream when u listen to it in order
has eaten bananas with peels on them a multitude of times

got sick asf
doesn't like headphones
he thinks they're too big so he prefers earbuds (wireless or wired doesn't matter to him)
had to get help from rain trying to figure out how bluetooth works
ended up teaching copia later
dew once dared him to drink two shot glasses worth of a mixture of hot sauce, mayo, peanut butter, and pickle juice for 20 monopoly dollars and phantom did it bc he thought it was real money
he doesn't mind most vegetables but he hates squash and zucchini, canned italian green beans, frozen carrots (he thinks they're soggy), and canned spinach
loves cranberries and cranberry flavored things
as well as pomegranate
isn't the biggest fan of cherries but loves the ones u get in jars for cheesecake toppings

Chapter V. Heart of Glass
Eddie Munson x Fem!Reader
Summary: The fallout from your first fight with Eddie hits hard, subsequently causing you to reveal secrets you so desperately wish to keep hidden.
Warnings: drunk asf reader, light fluff, some physical violence (dw Jason cops it), past trauma...
A/N: strap in for this one y'all, have some tea and some biscuits.
That morning at school was terribly uncomfortable, let alone the rest of the week. You and Eddie exchanged fake niceties over lunch, opting to not even talk at all, spooking Mike and Dustin as they looked between the two of you in utter confusion. Usually, you and Eddie couldn't ever shut up, sitting next to each other and gently nudging or touching whenever someone said something that made the two of you laugh hysterically or gasp with horror. The silence was defeaning and incredibly uneasy. But Friday was when the rest of the group had decided to point it out.
"So..." Dustin started, scratching the side of his face.
"I forgot to ask, how was your show on Tuesday Eddie?"
You peered up from your sandwich, looking briefly at Dustin before settling your gaze on Eddie. Even though you knew most of how his night went, spent in peaceful bliss with Chrissy, you couldn't help but pay attention. You secretly hoped maybe that she didn't show, even though that would completely crush him.
"Fine." He muttered, throwing a pretzel back onto his tray aggressively.
You swallowed hard, looking away with haste when his hazel gaze met yours.
Maybe she didn't show? Or maybe he was just angry at you for storming off like a child having a tantrum after being denied an overly expensive toy.
"Okay." Dustin remarked, terribly aware of the awkward tension that hung thick in the air.
"Well, what did you think of it?" Mike asked innocently.
You flicked your eyes toward his with a warning glare.
"I didn't go."
A silent oh formed on Mike's lips at your curt response.
The table fell silent, most of the boys exchanging uncertain glances filled with concern.
Ever since your fight with Eddie, you had an unrelenting headache. You never usually got headaches, maybe when you were sick or stressed out, but recently it felt like your head was always hurting. And today was no exception, especially considering the circumstances.
"You guys going to Harrington's tonight?" Gareth asked to the table, seemingly oblivious to all the tension. Bless him.
Almost everyone except you and Eddie erupted into excitement.
"I can't wait!" Dustin exclaimed, grabbing Mike by the arm and shaking.
Their pure elation acted as a perfect distraction from the weird vibes you and Eddie had.
"Eddie, are you going?" Mike asked. Mike always tried to mirror Eddie or gain his approval through doing the same things. It was sort of cute. Like a big brother, little brother bond.
Once again you found yourself looking over at Eddie.
You and Eddie had plans to go together and meet up with Robin and Nancy. But after Tuesday, you weren't so sure if either of you were going to make it there at all.
Eddie looked at you briefly with a dark, scornful expression.
"Maybe. It depends."
You watched as he clenched his jaw before you turned to focus back on your lunch.
"What about you?" Asked Jeff.
You placed your sandwich down, turning over to your left where he sat. You hadn't sat next to Eddie since Tuesday and it felt weird to turn toward Jeff and not see a curly head of hair.
"Can't say." You replied.
Jeff huffed humorously.
"As if you'd miss Steve's party. Everyone knows he has a thing for you."
You whipped your head to face him.
Apparently not everyone knew, considering this was the first you were hearing of it.
Seems as if it was also the first time Eddie was hearing it too based on the questioning expression he wore.
"What are you talking about?" You asked incredulously.
Seriously, where on earth did Jeff get this information from? Robin had told you about Steve's past, being a total whore and all, but as far as you were concerned he was different now. He was dating Ashley or Tammy...wait no, was it Heidi?
"Don't act like you don't know Y/N." Gareth piped up.
All of a sudden both you and Eddie's interests were piqued, sharing a quick and furtive glance. Despite your recent shortcomings with one another, you couldn't help but exchange knowing looks.
"Have you seen the way he looks at you? Like you're even hanging around Family Video for any other reason but to see his stupid face."
The table was amused with your wide-eyed perplexity.
"I hang around Family Video because of Robin. Steve just happens to also work there."
Sure you had spoken to Steve quite a few times and felt like you knew him considering how he was always a fan favourite topic amongst you and Robin, but Steve didn't seem like the kind of guy who would ever want to date you.
I mean he had the perfect Nancy Wheeler who was a bit of a priss and before that, a plethora of stereotypically pretty cheerleaders. You on the other hand were far more darker and demure, a cesspit of thrumming obscurity. You were a little hidden and aloof, a complete contradiction to Harrington himself, let alone the women he attracted.
Gareth and Jeff exchanged glances before snickering.
"Ooh, sounds like Y/N has got a crush." Gareth remarked.
Eddie pushed himself up and away from the table, rushing away with urgency.
You jumped at his sudden and violent movements, eyes trailing his form as it rapidly moved out of view and disappeared between the cafeteria doors.
"Seriously, what the hell is going on between you two?" Dustin asked nonplussed, shaking his head and turning back to the table.
"Nothing."
-
You were in math class with Robin when she decided to poke and prod you for answers about your week long mood.
"So what's up with you?" She asked with her usual judgemental sneer.
"Nothing." You replied nonchalantly, toying with a pen that rested between your pointer and thumb.
"So, it has nothing to do with Eddie storming off in the cafeteria and disappearing for the day?"
You scoffed at her knowing tone.
"He was probably going to see Chrissy or something." You muttered snarkily, sounding a little more jealous than you had intended.
Robin observed you and took in your words carefully. She hummed to herself for a moment before letting it go altogether, leaning back in her seat with an air of nonchalance.
"You coming tonight?"
You groaned at the thought, resting your head in your hands out of defeat.
"I don't know Robin." You muttered. "Not a fan of parties."
Robin laughed as she leaned forward, resting her chin atop her palm.
You didn't really want to go tonight. You quite simply just weren't in the mood. After your spat with Eddie and teasing from the boys at lunch, you wanted to just go home and crawl into bed and happily forget about the entire week.
"Oh come on, Steve's parties are really fun! I like watching the dingus get drunk and pine over Nancy. Maybe you and Eddie can have it out?"
You raised your head and turned to meet her. Well, the mention of Nancy had put you at ease. You were now certain Steve the hair Harrington wasn't crushing on you. If only Jeff and Gareth were here now.
"You think Eddie is going?" You asked, voice sounding small and insecure.
Robin placed a hand on your shoulder as she regarded you.
"Yeah. He's selling. Of course he'll be there."
You gently sighed and looked down at your notebook, still not making any sense of the equations Mr. Martin forced everyone to write.
"What would I even wear?"
-
It was 6pm and Robin had convinced you to wear her clothes after rifling through your own closet and coming up with zilch. An all black outfit that included a short skirt, inky stockings and chunky boots was how she had dressed you, utilising clothes from her goth phase. She even gave you her oversized denim jacket with the single eye on the back to keep you warm.
Robin was actually quite stylish but in a surreptitious way. She wasn't outwardly open about her interest in makeup and fashion, but she somehow tousled your hair like a pro.
If you were being honest, you looked good and if you weren't feeling confounded and guilty, you might have acted like it.
Throwing on a few silver rings and fixing any unpinned strands as you studied your reflection, Robin had decided you were good to go.
-
Fuck, it was loud and packed. You hadn't seen Steve's house before and you definitely couldn't make out what it looked like now. Not with the loud music, bustling teens and random trash scattered over counter tops and floors. Robin had abandoned you almost straight away, making a beeline for Steve donned in sunglasses and a redhead you hadn't seen before. But you weren't even mad, how could you be? You were in a crap mood, sucking up the oxygen like some sort of vibe arsenic.
You decided to look around, hoping to see Eddie cloistered in some dark and dingy corner selling joints like the little criminal he is.
Being alone in such a loud and crowded environment made you miss Eddie by your side. Made you miss his radiating warmth and the smell of cigarette and cedar.
Not talking to him all day and most of the week made you feel so terribly isolated. You laughed at the thought, considering how you once believed that you didn't mind being alone. But that was before Eddie.
Your headache returned with a vengeance, unsure as to whether the throbbing was from the pain or the excessively loud music. Looking over to the kitchen counter you spotted a bowl of punch, or probably some terrible concoction of straight alcohol in sugary syrup. Yet, it enticed you. Robin laughing with the bashful redhead and Eddie no where to be seen, you filled up a cup and went to town.
The violent burn that constricted the insides of your throat made you grimace. It didn't stop you from getting another and another and before you knew it you were unequivocally wasted.
You were enjoying your little corner in the kitchen, snacking on some pretzels before you felt a shift in the atmosphere around you.
"Hey look, it's the freak's slut." Called a masculine voice.
You turned your head toward the God awful sound of Jason Carver speaking.
"Surely he isn't far behind, now is he?" Jason added.
Suddenly, you were encircled by a group of chuckling jocks all glaring at you with intention. They reeked of alcohol and wore expressions that made you uneasy. Why were they wearing those ugly jackets outside of school?
Jason's posse smirked as he stalked closer toward you. You huffed in the wake of your broken reverie, annoyed at the repulsive sight before you.
"I don't know where Eddie is, why don't you ask Chrissy? Or is this pathetic little display of peacocking to make up for the fact that you have a small dick?"
All of a sudden a cacophony of loud cheers accompanied the ringing music as your little kerfuffle with Jason garnered some attention.
As all of the jocks turned to Jason patiently awaiting his response, he clenched his fists by his side before leaning toward your face, his expression contorted in anger.
"You shut the hell up whore." He seethed.
You didn't know if the liquor emboldened you or if you just simply hated Jason for the way he had treated Eddie and your friends over the years, but the idea of simply walking away had been left in the dust.
"You didn't like that did you? Tell me Jason, how does it feel to have your grass cut by the town freak?"
You were calculated and drunk off of Jason's humiliation more than the punch itself. Talk about liquid courage.
You leaned back on the lemon coloured counter, tilting your head to side as you sized him up.
"This is embarrassing, even for you. Maybe if you didn't have such a hard on for being a bully, you might be able to keep her."
Jason's eyes nearly burst out of his skull at your comment.
He somehow stepped impossibly closer, his hot breath fanning over your face. He lurched forward and gripped your wrist tightly. His hold left half moons in the plush of your skin.
"I'm sure you know how it feels. He rejected you. Who knew, even the freak has standards." He replied snarkliy, words dripping with venom.
Maybe if you weren't so intoxicated, you might have remained a little more dignified.
You huffed, pushing him back as tears threatened to spill. After he stumbled on his feet and collapsed into his group of friends, he shot back up fast and began to make his way toward you once more with renewed fervour.
You turned around to the counter and picked up the punch bowl with all of your might. Before you knew it, the glass bowl was empty and Jason was soaked in carmine liquid.
The music halted and everyone around you held their breath. The scene unfolding was ghastly. The relatively new freak giving it back to the jock.
Suddenly, a shaggy haired figure obscured your view. Eddie had placed himself in between you and an inflamed Jason.
"Look! Here he is to defend his slut." Jason chuckled straightening himself a little, acting as if he didn't look like a drenched gutter rat.
Now it was Eddie who was irate.
"Don't call her that." Eddie spat through clenched teeth.
They stood toe to toe, both parties brimming with an air of violence.
"What are you going to do about it, freak?"
You watched the scene unfold in front of you with sheer horror. Eddie was a sweetheart, but you wouldn't put it past him to beat the absolute shit out of Jason. Especially after your altercation with him still fresh in the air. So you decided to take action and back him up.
"We're gonna kick your ass."
Eddie's eyes widened in shock and fear as he turned toward you comically.
"We are?" He whispered to you.
As Eddie tried to come to terms with kicking ass as you so called it, Steve had magically appeared, standing to the side of Jason.
"Jason, get out. Now."
Robin stood beside Steve, wearing a wide eyed expression. She couldn't believe the scene in front of her.
Jason wiped his face with his jacket sleeve as he took one step toward your direction.
"This isn't over." He threatened, before turning around and leaving. Jason's posse trailed behind him, casting warning glares in your direction.
As they made their exit, everything had become too much for you as you abandoned the situation to rush outside. You pushed past the crowd that was already beginning to disperse, faintly hearing the sounds of Eddie trailing behind you as Steve turned the music back up. The party had returned in full swing, blurring the vague distinction of a previous contention.
-
Outside, you hunched over in a random lawn chair, staring directly into Harrington's swimming pool as if it held the answers like a crystal ball. You caught your disheveled reflection in the aquamarine, thoughts swirling as you wondered how you had got here.
As you mulled over your run in with Jason, your fight with Eddie and your past, you felt a presence at your side. Except this time you welcomed it.
Eddie had appeared, taking a seat in the empty lawn chair next to yours. You looked at him with your eyes rimmed red as you willed yourself not to cry.
It was like he could feel your pain, his face in all of its broad contours furrowed in concern.
"Are you okay?" He asked, reaching for your wrist that Jason had hurt.
You nodded your head slowly as he traced a calloused thumb over the marks. He clenched his jaw the more he continued to inspect your injured wrist. It was almost as if he were trying to calm himself down with your touch.
"What's the prognosis, doc?" You asked with a faint smile across your lips when he made no move to break the silence.
He looked up to catch your gaze. But he didn't want to joke, clearly tortured by everything that had happened throughout the week and night. Eddie let go of your wrist, opting to run his hands through his tangled locks. The sight threatened your resolve.
"Eddie." You muttered brokenly.
He turned to face you once more.
"What did I do?" He whispered, just as broken, leaning into your presence.
You allowed a single tear to spill. He wanted nothing more than to kiss it away.
Since you started getting to know Eddie, you had noticed how he was a little insecure. Of course he jumped on tables and acted like an apeman, but you caught glimpses of vulnerability. You could see in his eyes how he actually did care about what people thought and that his abbrasiveness was more of a reflexive and defensive measure.
"You didn't do anything." You replied.
Your defeated tone and wavering voice nearly killed him. The unsteady sight of you alone almost made him want to waltz up to Jason at school on Monday and punch him square in the jaw. That's if you didn't beat him to it first.
"Why'd you push me away?" He asked earnestly, nudging his knee against yours.
You exhaled deeply and looked toward the dark starry sky. I can't, you thought.
"Don't know." You whispered.
Eddie didn't seem completely satisfied with your answer, but after the events of the tenebrous night he didn't seem willing to push any further.
"I didn't see you come in." You started, hoping to shift gears.
He chuckled lightly, leaning back in his rickety lawn chair.
"I was upstairs, then I heard...I don't know what I heard. But, I came down and saw you." Eddie replied, studying your face.
"Didn't think I'd ever see you try and knock Jason Carver out." He added, clearly amused.
You both started to laugh, glad that some of the awkwardness had dissipated into the night. Hearing Eddie's laughter was relieving, almost as if the hearty melody were medicine.
It was only a few moments later you decided to take a leap into the abyss that was your fight with Eddie.
"Did Chrissy show?" You asked shyly.
He took a deep and tremulous breath.
"Yeah...but she wasn't there for the music. Or for me." He replied a little dejected.
"Eds..."
He chuckled, feeling pitiful for himself.
"Turns out she was just looking for something to take the edge off. Being little miss perfect isn't easy believe it or not."
You stayed silent, uncertain as to what you could say. Part of you felt slightly relieved, whilst the other part felt sad for Eddie.
"I'm really sorry." You started.
"I didn't mean to act like a bat shit crazy person. I just thought..."
Eddie tilted his head in confusion.
"Thought what?"
You looked to your lap, chastened by his inquisiton.
"That you had grown, I don't know, tired of me?"
Your eyes flicked up to meet Eddie's, hoping to gauge his reaction to your own insecurities.
He had laughed, but not in a condescending way.
"I don't think I could ever grow tired of you. Not even when you don't talk to me for days or threaten to beat up the basketball team on my behalf." He mused, flashing that pearly grin and wide eyed smile of his.
You sighed in relief as an immeasurable weight had been lifted off your shoulders.
"And thank you. For defending my honour." You continued, matching his smile.
He started twisting his chocolately locks around his finger in a coquettish manner.
"Someone has got to defend your virtue."
You both laughed some more, except this time a horrendous wave of nausea ensued. You clutched your stomach and cupped your mouth in a feeble attempt to prevent vomiting.
"Okay, I'm taking your drunk ass home." Eddie remarked grabbing your waist and holding you to his side as he assisted you out of your lawn chair.
His touch made you giddy and you chuckled under his hold. Even though you almost hurled into Harrington's pool, the alcohol had taken hold of your head now.
You began to sway and laugh absent mindedly as the rest of the world around you went a little hazy.
Your new carefree attitude emerged thanks to cups and cups of mysterious punch.
"You're fucken crazy." Eddie muttered, slightly enamoured by your rapidly deteriorating state.
Eddie continued to guide you through the garden gate that lead to the front lawn.
When the two of you approached the end of the path, you halted in your tracks. Eddie bumped directly into your back, sending a rather large wave of nausea that had practically already arrived at its destination.
"Eddie." You whispered.
He craned his head around your right side to catch your gaze. Your face was pale and white as the moon, while your eyes were bloodshot with blown out pupils. You were going to be sick.
Faster than Eddie could register, you doubled over and vomited all over the emerald grass.
He quickly grabbed your hair in a loose ponytail, urging you to crouch with him. Lucky you were cloistered by bushes due to the route you were taking to Eddie's van, thankful no one could see you throw up your entire breakfast, lunch and dinner.
"It's okay, sweetheart." Eddie mused, holding you close to him on the outskirts of the path as he stroked away any unruly strands that didn't make it into his makeshift ponytail. You started to sob profusely inbetween your vomiting.
You absolutely hated this. First, you had lost your mind over Eddie using you to impress Chrissy. You had gotten so frustrated by your convoluted feelings you hurt Eddie. Then, you tried to fight Jason and his posse. And now, well, now you were vomiting on Harrington's lawn crying at how embarrassing this whole ordeal had been. To top it off, you had Eddie holding you to his chest watching your drunk ass vomit.
"When you first met me Eddie..." You started, wiping away tears that were uncontrollably falling down your face.
"You said I was lonely. And you were right."
Your voice faltered as you reached up to rub at your eyes. Any modicum of control or logic that you might have possessed earlier had completely dissolved.
Eddie held you a little tighter.
"It's not what I had meant to say, Y/N." He replied, still caressing your face gently as guilt bloomed in his chest.
"It's because it hurts to care. I know I care, more than you do. I care too much and I can't do it." You sobbed, clutching at his leather jacket like it were a lifeboat in an endless sea.
Eddie was struggling to make sense of what you were saying. It was quite literally pouring out of you. Your vulnerability overwhelmed him.
"I can't forgive myself. Not after...after Matt." You huffed, like you had just ran a marathon and exerted all of your energy. You barely registered in your drunken stupor that you had grazed the surface of a secret. A secret you desperately wished to keep from Eddie.
It was like alarm bells had gone off. What the fuck? Eddie thought, confused about your drunk ramblings. He knew you were holding back about why you were really upset near the pool, but he wasn't expecting...this.
Your admission caused Eddie to still. Who was Matt? A twinge of jealousy rolled off his tongue as he tried to repeat the name after you, after the name came so freely from your lips.
Eddie knew that you had...issues to say the least and that you were harbouring something dark. He could feel it bubbling beneath the surface whenever you zoned out like you always did. He swore he caught a glimpse of something painful in your eyes the first day you met in the woods, it was why he thought you were lonely. Why you were so defensive and pushed people away like you did earlier in the week. Why you needed to be listening to music or reading or talking incessantly about books or films. He knew you were hiding, he just didnt know what.
You on the other hand hadn't even realised what you said, still quietly sobbing and gasping for air. In your fractured haze of a state, you were suspended in complete and utter confusion.
One minute you were in control, holding back both tears and your past. Now all of a sudden the flood gates were open and Eddie had the privilege of bearing witness to it all.
Eddie held you tightly, even though his gentle strokes along your hairline ceased. He couldn't help it, his mind was reeling. After a long while of just holding you while you cried and drifted in and out of consciousness, he eventually came back to his senses.
"Come on." He whispered into the shell of your ear, as he dragged you up with him.
Before you knew it, he had lifted you into his arms as he carried you all the way to the end of the street where his van was parked.
With your soft palms draped around his neck like a dainty chain, he swore he was going to figure out who Matt was and what he had done to make you so inconsolable.
