(slight AU) Eddie Munson x gn!reader

[a/n] who said metal can’t be romantic? this imagine is for all my lonley maggots cause who needs a significant other when you can have fictional people?… Also there are two versions of this song if you want to listent to the heavy but still soul destroying version click here and if you want to listen to the straight up midnight wedding vibes in sleepy hollow click here.

This is a short fic only really based on the chorus of the song Eternally yours by Motionless in White. (writers block is seriously messing with me rn but nonetheless enjoy!)

[Warnings] some sight religion bashing pls don’t take it personally and if you do well then you are on the wrong blog lmao go touch some dirt or something? mentions of bad parenting?

Blow the bridge to the past,

wipe the fingerprints,

melt your heart encased in wax,

seal it with a kiss.

Eddie hadn’t had the conventional upbriging that every other average American family had. In fact, he was left behind by his deadbeat dad and forced into the care of his Uncle Wayne thanks to his absent mom. He was labelled the ’satanic freak’ by most and practically deemed unworthy of being treated like any other human in the small town of Hawkins. The whole town practically shunned him away like some virus that would infect the minds of anyone in contact, destroying what little life was left inside them.

Ironic really, considering how most of the towns occupants were nothing but brainless minions following the word of some guy in the sky that would apparently save humans from their sins, while simultaneously punishing them for said sins. Either way it was a bunch of bullshit to Eddie, knowing that no belief in a higher power made you a better human than someone who didn’t believe or follow the ’norms'.

From the day he was born until the day he would die Eddie truly believed he would be nothing but a nobody to anyone, until he met you. Somehow you had broken down the walls that enslaved his heart and set him free from the curse that had been bound to him for what felt like eternity. You had become the light on his darkest days, never dimming or wavering. Constantly surrounding him with what could only be described as hope; hope for his future, forgiveness for his past, excitement for what was in his present.

As much as he tried to push you away and destroy whatever you gave him, you remained by his side through it all. Promising that you would never leave him unless he looked you in the eyes and told you so, trusting that as much as he believed he didn’t deserve your love, he would learn to accept and treasure it, which eventually he would.

Our fate engraved, scar enslaved, as we mutually destruct.

Repose, my love, I’ve sinned enough for the both of us.

Eddie’s past was often overlooked, people preferring to make their own assumptions and opinions based off of lies and tales conjured up by the ones who blamed him for his fathers actions, that saw him as nothing but a carbon copy of the original Munson who had stuck his claws into the land of Hawkins becoming an infectious pest that they couldn’t seem to get rid of.

They never even gave him a chance.

After all he’d endured he never seemed to get a break, instead opting to bury his feelings under his ego and confidence all in an attempt to keep it together for the sake of his family. The townsfolk never saw the tears he shed daily, burning scars into his memory of all the times he’d failed to keep his emotions at bay. Nightmares plaguing him of the times his mother had drilled into his head that “boys don’t cry”, it never was in the Munson name to have feelings and care for anyone but themselves (of course with the exception of Wayne), all Eddie had known was how to channel his energy into his negative coping mechanisms of sex, drugs and alcohol, the real rockstar lifestyle.

He never let anyone get close enough to see the real him, not that anyone was willing to do so in the first place. No-one saw the lonliness that bleed his soul dry, the light being sucked out and replaced by a dim worn out one that threatened to shatter at any given moment. The self hatred that overtook him, cosuming his being and burying itself in all the cracks and crevices of his vessel.

and then you appeared.

In the name of love…

You had met Eddie during the fall of 85, apart from the fact that you had moved in nextdoor to him you’d also seen him briefly in the hallways of Hawkins highschool. At the start you had simply admired from afar, you’d heard rumors around town that he was a ’troubled teen’ and a ‘bad influence’ yet you admired his ability to mask the pain it caused him, watching how he would do anything in his power to make his friends happy even if it meant sacrificing himself and his wellbeing.

Although Eddie’s friends meant the world to him they weren’t necessarily the kind of people he could go to and lay his troubles on, to him they were just innocent kids who had a whole life ahead of them with bright and promising futures that needn’t be weighed down by him and the everlasting chaos that followed.

it wasn’t until you approached him that he’d realised everything he’d been missing and unconsciously longing for. It was as if something had simply clicked within the universe’s workings, like something had aligned and brought you both together at that very moment. Everything just seemed right. While the friendship at the begining had been slow and complicated at times you knew of the vile words people spoke about him yet that only made you more determined to prove them wrong, knowing first hand that looks could be deceiving and that even seemingly the toughest people needed someone to have their back.

I’m ready to bury all of my bones,

I’m ready to lie but say I won’t,

People say good things never come easy but loving Eddie was the easiest and bestest thing to happen to you, if only Eddie could see that love wasn’t as scary as it seemed. Within the months stacking up in your relationship things had begun to turn sour, of course that was bound to happen sooner or later. Much to peoples disbelief (or ignorance) traumatised and hurt people often suffer from the consequences of the events that occured. You knew this from the begining, never backing down from the moves Eddie made in an attempt to destroy the love you had handed to him.

For sure it hurt when he would lie and purposely throw everything back in your face but he needed to understand that no matter how hard he tried to deny the connection you two had, you were not like (almost) everyone else in his life that would walk away the moment things got too hard. You were the person he so desperately wanted and needed, he just couldn’t believe it yet.

So tell me your secrets and join me in pieces,

to rot in this garden made of stones,

Wayne had begun to see the difference in Eddie’s behaviour ever since you had wondered into his life, silently thanking his lucky stars for giving Eddie someone to believe in. He’d watched how the broken boy he once knew ever so slightly blossomed into a bright young man. The once damaged kid that was shoved aside like dirt on the bottom of your boots was slowly but surely being patched up little by little.

What’s broken may not be able to be fixed but it sure as hell can be restored into something even better.

Eternally yours
