The Significance of Lover’s Lake and Byler (Theory)

'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact

Yes we're lovers, and that is that (Heroes by David Bowie)

Part 2 here

(Warning: This post has mentions of sex (nothing graphic)… if you’re uncomfortable with that please do not proceed.)

So, Lover’s Lake has existed within the show ever since season 2, when Will mapped out the entirety of Hawkins. The lake is shaped like a heart (keep this in mind for later) thus the name “Lover’s Lake”. Makes sense within the town of Hawkins, but does not provide an explanation on a subtextual level. None of the “lovers” existing within the show has been associated with the lake (you could say Steve/Nancy but honestly it’s a stretch since they never actually rekindled their romance.)

This leads me to the question… why call the lake “Lover’s Lake” without associating any lovers to it?

Because maybe, there will be lovers connected to it… but they aren’t lovers… yet.

Okay, let’s get back to the shape. A heart. ❤️ Hm. Now which character within the show is most associated with hearts? Which character is even referred to as the heart by their love interest?

Mike.

I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that he’s one part of the “lovers” here. Thus ruling out many other romantic pairings within the show. Leaving only two pairings: Mike/El and Mike/Will. I won’t go into detail on why I believe Mike and El will inevitably break up, you can read a lot of different analyses for that. So that leaves… Mike/Will. Not lovers yet.

Okay, here’s the part where I may get crucified. The definition of lovers.

Please put your pitch forks down for this.

Lovers usually refers to two people in a sexual relationship outside of marriage.

With all the subtext (and actual text) around sex and sexuality, and how we see Will struggle with his own sexuality, there is a likely conclusion here. He’s going to confront his sexuality. To do so, he will have sex. With whom? Well, with the one person he loves the most, the one he affectionately refers to as the heart… his best friend… Mike.

Now, where’s this going to happen? What better location than somewhere empty and secluded.

Reefer Rick’s lakeside house.

Now, who is “Reefer Rick”?

Also known as, Rick Lipton, Reefer Rick is a drug dealer who’s closely acquainted with Eddie.

He’s an enigma. We never see him. All that is known about him are the things mentioned by other characters.

He’s currently in jail apparently for dealing drugs. Also, he seems like a town pariah.

Also, he isn’t too keen on Fast Times (returned on time), at least not as much as “Cheech and Chong” (returned late each time.) That shot at 53 minutes and 5 seconds in Fast Times doesn’t do it for him, I guess. Unlike watching two guys get high.

His name choice is an interesting one.

“Reefer” Rick Lipton.

“Reefer” is a synonym for “marijuana cigarette”. Okay, makes sense, he is a drug dealer after all. But why the term “cigarette”? Well… there’s this other word that also happens to be a synonym for “cigarette”…

Then Rick… short for “Richard”. Richard is one of the few names out there with a nickname that is also slang for male genitalia… “Dick”.

Then finally… Lipton.

As Robin says, spelled like Lipton tea. Now, why would the writers use the name “Lipton” and even reference the tea company if there were no significance to it? They wouldn’t. We know this about them.

So why “Lipton”?

Let’s do a bit of research here, shall we?

The founder of Lipton tea was a man named Thomas Lipton.

Thomas Lipton just so happens to have been a closeted homosexual man who had a long term relationship with another man whose name is… *drumroll please*

William Love.

Okay, that can’t be just a coincidence right?

So moving on to Reefer Rick’s house.

We see glimpses of his living room, kitchen, and briefly his bedroom.

Jason and his buds are searching for Eddie and this involves looking under the mattress? As if, Eddie could successfully hide under there? Haha okay sure.

The angle of this shot is interesting too, because the bed is essentially being shown off to us.

This bed with a blue blanket and yellow sheets. Hm. Interesting.

Keep in mind this scene is essentially unnecessary. They could have easily shown Jason et al searching for Eddie without creating an entire new set for a room that’s only used in one single insignificant shot. Therefore, I do not think it’s unreasonable to believe this is used for foreshadowing.

Then we also get this shot from outside the window into the bedroom.

Look familiar? I thought so too.

Okay. Now for my theory/prediction.

As I mentioned earlier, Will is currently struggling with his own sexuality and feels a lot of shame and internalized homophobia. There’s also a lot of evidence that Mike is experiencing the same thing. Unlike Will, Mike conforms to the society’s expectations. He dates El, performing as her boyfriend. This is comparable to Nancy’s arc in season 1. She also conforms, and like Mike, leaves her best friend behind. We all know how that ended.

Now, what better way to wrap up the show than to have Mike correct his sister’s mistake? To have Mike reject societal expectations in favour of his best friend?

Okay so this is my theory.

Mike and Will have their first kiss an episode or two prior to 5x07. Tensions are high, but they’re busy fighting interdimentional monsters along side their friends.

Then comes 5x07 which somehow leaves Mike and Will alone by Lover’s Lake. The tension between them reaches an all time high, leading to a passionate kiss and then… more. Let’s just say it involves that blue and yellow bed.

At the same time as these two become the lovers they were meant to be, another character is being saved, or perhaps being brought back to life. Perhaps another red head, one we all know and love. Yes, a major parallel and contrast to Steve/Nancy’s sex scene in season 1, which featured Barb dying. But because Mike is rejecting conformity and being authentic, another character lives instead.

I mean, what better way to represent the beauty of the love and intimacy between these two boys? Their love is literally bringing back life to the world.

So yeah, basically I’m saying that Mike and Will expressing their love for each other will save Max.

This also wouldn’t be the first time that Max’s survival is correlated with their relationship. As I doubt that it was merely a coincidence that in episode 4x04 we have Mike’s genuine monologue to Will, then we have Max surviving Vecna. In contrast to 4x09, which features a forced monologue from Mike to El, followed by Max losing to Vecna and barely surviving.

So, as their bond strengthens, Max’s life bar goes up (so to speak). If something interferes with their bond, Max’s outcome is more dire.

The writers have also been associating Mike/El with death…

[Tumblr only allows a limited number of images so pretend we have one of El holding dead flowers and another image of the cut scene from 3x05 with Mike/El having a moment cutting to a dead body on the hospital floor]

Mike/Will on the other hand have been associated with life. The birds chirping in the background of their final scene together, the flowers blooming between them as they stand together. Plus, blue plus yellow does equal green after all. Which is the most commonly associated colour with life.

🌿🌱🌳

To conclude, I just want to say that I personally think this would be a nice way to end their arc. I know a lot of people are uncomfortable with associating Mike/Will with anything sexual… but the show has been doing this already. Whether you like it or not, Mike and Will have been shown implicitly and explicitly that they desire each other both romantically and sexually. The fact that they have sexual desire for each other does not minimize or trivialize their friendship and love, it’s an aspect of it… adding another dimension to their relationship.

Do I think or hope they would show anything pornographic? Absolutely not (do I even have to say this?) But explicit like Steve/Nancy? Yes. Do I think they’ll be only 14/15 years old when this occurs? No. This will likely happen after a time jump.

Being authentically yourself and not conforming is overall a major theme of the show. I mean it’s called Stranger Things after all. Will people be upset by the ending of this arc? Bylers included? Absolutely. Many people within the town of Hawkins and people watching the show will both show disgust for it. But that’s the point. It’s not “normal” and that’s okay. Different is good, and can be a beautiful and wonderful thing. We all just need to open our minds and hearts a bit. I’m not just talking about the GA; many Bylers are also closed minded and stuck in their ways too. Let’s all try to work on that, shall we?

Despite the opinions of others, Will and Mike will choose to love each other which will inevitably lead to their defeat of Vecna. Love concurs all. It may be cheesy and cliche but personally? I think that’s a beautiful thing. We all can learn to love more.

Anyway, would love to know your thoughts on this.

Then we could be Heroes, just for one day

@greenfiend I was thinking about Lover's Lake in Joyce's room. The truth behind the curtain, something about what, imo, happened to Hopper and Joyce there in the past, and what will happen to Will and Mike in S5

I found another connection. You noticed the blue and yellow sheets on Reefer Rick's bed

Hopper also has blue and yellow bed sheets in S3, and his room has no door, only a curtain :)

so is it lover’s lake or lovers’ lake? i always thought lovers’ lake, like it belonged to the two lovers. but everything i can find tells me lover’s lake, a lake belonging to ONE SINGULAR LOVER

so what is this allegorical soul a lover of exactly? dirty hawkins swamp water?

or is it LOVERS LAKE. where nothing is possessive but instead it’s just telling you what the lake is for. a lake for the lovers.

#im confused #how do i write it #stranger things #text #lovers lake #hawkins is puzzling

right behind you. | e. munson.

Pairing: Eddie Munson x Reader (She/Her pronouns used!)

Warnings: Fluff, kissing, strong language, slight angst? eddie says something thats traumatic for him so idk if you'd count that as angst.

Other: hopefully theres no messups! i originally made (Y/N)'s name "Ayda" but i tried to change all of the Ayda's to (Y/N)

also.... SAY HELLO TO MY FIRST ACTUAL POST!

Word Count: 1.4k

Summary : You, Eddie, Robin, Steve, and Nancy are all on a boat above Watergate. Having only known Eddie for about a week (or eight years if you count seeing each other in the hallways and going to the same middle school), you were too scared to confess your crush on him, even though whenever Dustin poked fun he never denied any feelings. You try to chase after your friends into Watergate, but Eddie stalls you.

“No,” (Y/N) sighed, pointing her attention to Steve, who had a brilliant idea to swim into the bottom of Lover’s Lake and check out Watergate. “It’s a stupid idea.” She finishes. Steve rolls his eyes, “(Y/N), you’re being overdramatic,” He sighs, “No I’m not!” She says, looking over at Nancy, “What do you think Nancy?” (Y/N) pouts. “I think it’s stupid, but he’s the only one willing to do it.” Nancy shrugs. “No. No. No, I’ll do it.” (Y/N) suggests, taking off her jacket and shoes. Eddie turns his attention over, as he attempts to light a cigarette with a worried expression hidden in his features.

No way. No way in hell is (Y/N) actually going to go into the lake where a guy just died.

“No offense (Y/N), but you wouldn’t last a second down there,” Robin says. “Excuse me? Who fished your ring out of the pool when we went swimming? With no goggles might I add!” (Y/N) objects, taking off her shirt to reveal her sports bra. “Okay, one, that’s just gross, two…” Robin pauses, eyes erotically glazing over (Y/N)’s body, “Uhm,” She continues, closing her eyes, “And two, you came up in a coughing fit after thirty seconds.” Robin finishes, finally opening her eyes again. Steve smiles and raises his eyebrows at Robin, but Eddie walks over to (Y/N). He picks up her shirt, turns it right side in, and throws it over her head. “I think it’s a stupid idea, and I think stupid ideas are for Steve, and Steve only,” Eddie says, securing (Y/N)’s shirt on her arms, corners of his mouth twitching up into a smirk once he sees the blush that crept its way onto (Y/N)'s cheeks.

Please don't go into that lake, (Y/N).

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were flirting with me, Munson." (Y/N) teases. Eddie's smirk immediately falters as he backs up.

After thirty seconds filled with silence and the sound of (Y/N)'s clothes hitting the bottom of the boat, Eddie decides to speak up.

"I'll do it." He says from his seated position on the edge of the boat. Everyone turns to face Eddie with a bewildered expression prominent in their features. "Hell no!" (Y/N) says standing up, "I'm doing this." She says, putting her foot on the side of the boat, and getting ready to dive off. Eddie glances over to Steve, who is almost done taking off the clothes that he doesn't want to get wet. (Y/N) goes to push off from the boat, but Eddie grabs a hold of her legs, and pulls her down, into his chest, and repositions his hands around her torso. Once realizing the position Eddie has her in, her eyes widen and she gulps. She takes in his woody aroma, it awakening each and every one of her senses. She stays calm for a few more seconds until she realizes that Steve is about to dive off the boat. "Seriously?" (Y/N) yells, pushing her way out of Eddie's grip. "Whenever he gets killed it's all of your guys' fault." (Y/N) says angrily.

(Y/N) walks over to the group of nerve racked girls. She can't help but feel bad for Nancy's torn apart nail beds.

"Where are we at Wheeler?" Robin asks, "Closing in on a minute," Nancy responds calmly. (Y/N) sighs, and lowers herself to the ground, and sits on her knees, peering over the side of the boat in a child-like manner when Steve abruptly comes up from under the water, causing everyone to scream.

"I found it!" He exclaims over the chorus of terror. "You found it?" Nancy asks, "I found it, yeah, I found it." Steve repeats. Robin pulls out the large walkie-talkie, and pulls up the silver rod. "Dustin you are goddamn Einstein. Steve found the gate." Robin finishes.

"It was wild. More of a snack sized gate than a mama gate, but still. Pretty damn big." He explains. (Y/N), who is still holding a grudge over Steve from moments prior can't help but smile at how excited he is.

As Steve gets ready to pull himself over the boat, something tugs on his legs, causing him to rock the whole boat. He freezes up, and then it tugs again, dragging him down, causing everyone to yell.

"Steve!" Nancy, Robin, and (Y/N) all call out. "No, no, no, no. What the hell was that man?" Eddie panics. "Nancy really, what happened?" Robin asks, "JESUS." Eddie screams. Nancy wastes no time in standing up on the side of the boat and getting ready to jump. Eddie realizes, and speaks up. "Wait, wait, wait," he exclaims, "You're not going in there, are you?" He asks Nancy who takes a quick glance at the water before responding. "Just..." She says before taking a deep breath, "Wait here."

"No, Nancy!" Robin and Eddie yell. "Nancy! Damn you!" (Y/N) says. "What do we do?" She asks Robin while Eddie proceeds to have another mental breakdown. They talk over his faint, "Goddamn it!" 's and "Shit!" 's. "The only thing we can do," Robin says, sitting on the side of the boat and slightly leaning off of it.

"No. No. No! She said wait!" Eddie says. "Robin I swear to fucking god, don't you dare!" (Y/N) yells sternly. "Yeah I heard her," Robin says, responding to Eddie. Eddie scrunches up his face and points down, "...She's in charge!" He responds. "Are you kidding me?" Robin deadpans, "I made that shit up." She finishes before going overboard.

Eddie proceeds to have his six-millionth breakdown of the night, screaming, "Goddamn it! Son of a bitch!" repeatedly. "Eddie, calm down," (Y/N) yells, walking to the side of the boat. "No. NO." Eddie yells, realizing what (Y/N) is doing. She launches herself off the side of the boat, getting ready to swim under, but Eddie follows her close behind and grabs her by her shoulders.

"(Y/N) no. You can't do this. Look at me!" He says, turning her around to face him. "Eddie, our friends are down there probably dying! We can't sit around and wait for their missing report to come out." (Y/N) says, attempting to swim away, but Eddie holds onto her. "(Y/N), I was responsible for what happened to Chrissy. I should've stayed in the room and kept an eye on her, but instead I was in the other room," He says, taking a break to breathe. He stares straight into (Y/N)'s eyes, sparkling under the full moon. "The point is, I could've done something, but I didn't-" Eddie says but gets cut off by (Y/N), "No, Eddie. It wasn't your fault, you couldn't have done anything about Chrissy," "Thank you, but that's not important right now. What's important is that I have the chance to save someone, much less the girl that I've had a crush on since her stupid little cheerleading act with her cousin in middle school, and I'm going to either take it, or go down there with you. So what's it going to be?" He asks.

Wait. Did I hear that right?

Even though he just agreed to practically a quintuple suicide, all (Y/N) can focus on the fact that Eddie just admitted to having a crush on her for the past eight years. The guy she constantly found herself staring at during lunch, because he's not only the only person in that large room that actually has a personality, but the prettiest piece of art she's ever seen. The way his dark eyes trace over her entire figure when he sees her is so enchanting, his woody aroma filling each one of her senses, attracting her like a magnet.

She swims closer to him and puts her arms around his neck. "You just agreed to a quintuple suicide and all I can think about is how you like me." She admits as he wraps his hands around her waist to keep her from moving away with the current. "Hey, Eddie?" She asks, looking up at his water covered face, "Hi, (Y/N)," He says in response. "Can I try something?" She asks, looking between his eyes and his lips. "No," He responds, "Can I?" He asks. (Y/N) lets out a hum in response, signaling he can.

He removes one of his hands from (Y/N)'s waist, and cups her cheek, pulling her head forward to meet his soft lips. The kiss grows deeper as they both appear hungry for one another. Between breaths (Y/N) trys to get Eddie's attention.

"Eddie," She says before their lips meet again, "Eddie." She repeats, "Eddie." She says, finally pulling away. "This better be important (Y/N), that was the best kiss I've ever had," Eddie says jokingly. "Our friends are down there, possibly dying, and we're up here making out." She says, removing her arms from his neck. "Bad on us." He pouts, causing (Y/N) to laugh. "C'mon," She says, taking a deep breath before going underwater. "I'm right behind you." He says.

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

(A/N): lowkey embarrassed. this isn't my best work. i made it way too fast, idk. anyway, first actual published story whoop whoop! enjoy!

The Significance of Lover’s Lake and Byler (Theory) Part 2

Sequel to this post

(Warning: mentions of sex and drugs)

Okay so first of all, if you haven’t seen my previous post on my theory involving Lovers Lake and Byler, please read it first. I go over my theory and predictions for Byler and the heart shaped lake. This is a secondary post to it, outlining some VERY interesting details involving the owner of the lakeside house, the lakeside house itself, and all the romantic and sexual elements present. I’m saving the best for last here.

Let’s start with the owner of the lakeside house.

Reefer Rick

So I recently made a silly post arguing that the most queer coded character in Stranger Things is not Mike nor Will (nor Robin, Henry, Eddie etc), and I stand by this statement. The most queer coded character is: Reefer Rick. Now, I know we never see the guy, but literally all the information we have on him is either queer coding or drug references.

Synonyms of his name are literally f*g Dick, with a shared last name with the famous tea company founder who so happens to have been a homosexual: Lipton.

We know he doesn’t have a family, thus he’s a single man who occasionally has his buddy/fellow dealer Eddie stay over. Hm, not very heterosexual of him.

Then we have his movie list.

Now, as many of us know, the movie “Fast Times” is used within Stranger Things as a way to gage if someone is attracted to women or not. We have Steve, Dustin, Lucas, and Vickie all confirmed to have enjoyed this movie… specifically for that shot at 53 minutes and 5 seconds. Sure, Reefer Rick rented the film, but why is it the only movie he rented that was returned on time? For context, he’s the only character who had films listed as “late” returns. So, he obviously enjoyed Cheech & Chong a lot more. Two guys doing drugs is more interesting to him than a sexy lady. Okay, noted.

Now, how is he perceived by the people of Hawkins?

Oooof. Okay. He’s not well liked it seems. He apparently is causing some fear and anger amongst the Hawkins residents. Kind of similar of a reaction these people would have towards an openly gay man during the 1980s.

Also I have to include @/conflictofthemind ‘s excellent point that injectable drug use and unprotected sex (specifically between two men) were both commonly associated with HIV/AIDS… a major epidemic during the 80s and a major subtextual theme within the show.

Now, where’s this guy live while outside of jail?

I don’t blame the guy for “hiding” when the town is not too fond of him. Of course he is a drug dealer so there’s that as well. But interesting they used the word “hide”, which has been associated with queerness within the show already (plus this line was said by Robin (featured in the middle of the shot!!!) who is queer herself).

(Both of these screenshots are from 1x02 interestingly enough.)

Wouldn’t it make sense for these two “hiders” to hide out in “a perfect place to hide” together? Seeking refuge in a fellow gay man’s secluded house?

I will say it’s also worth noting that he does not have any women featured on the walls within his house. Also, he has a phallic shaped bong (we’ll get back to that soon).

Phew okay so that’s Reefer Rick. Are you still with me? Hopefully I didn’t bore any of you with this. I promise you this all leads back to Byler.

So, moving on to his house.

So as @/therainscene kindly pointed out, this poster with the smiley face can be related to rave culture and ecstasy in the 1980s. So a drug reference, in a drug dealer’s house… shocker I know. But I gotta say, ecstasy is also a term often related to sex. I also have to add this little tidbit from one of our favourite directors of Stranger Things, Shawn Levy. Keep in mind, he knows what’ll happen in the next season… and he’s directing episodes after 3 and 4…

Interesting word choice, no?

So, back to the symbolism within (and near) the house.

Let’s talk about the phallic symbolism that appears in pairs in these shots. It’s a choice, isn’t it? With two males in each shot. We know the Duffers love details and foreshadowing… I doubt it’s a coincidence. Also, anyone else notice that phone in the background? Just had to mention it, since our boys are frequently associated with phones and calls.

Then, of course, I gotta bring back this shot.

The bed. Blue meets yellow. You know it! We all heard it a thousand times by now. Let’s look at what else is in the shot. A closed closet. Another reference to our boys. To the right, you’ll see a toilet paper roll. Now, if you have a brother, you might see the same thing in his room. Sure it can be used as a tissue for your nose but let’s just say there’s usually another use for it. I’ll call it “self love”. So, basically, another sexual reference.

To sum up this house: lake/water, drugs, and ecstasy/smiley face. Now, let’s go back to a scene featuring our boys with all these elements in the background.

Makes you wonder doesn’t it?

I must also point out the “Paris” poster in the background. City of love, anyone? Plus the fireworks. They’re really trying to tell us something here.

Also, @/foodiewithdahoodie pointed out how Paris specifically was one of the first places to decriminalize sodomy.

You know, I also wouldn’t rule out every aspect of Murray’s prediction here.

Shout out to the Hylers out there!

Perhaps after a lot of stressful days of fighting interdimentional demons, these boys want to wind down and de-stress in their hiding spot. I can see Reefer Rick as a fellow Nintendo player, leaving his console behind, as well as his weed, for our boys to use. I also wouldn't be surprised if Eddie left a few of his beers behind. I mean… Murray has a pretty good track record for predictions. This would also really double down on the message that Mike and Will “aren’t kids anymore.”

Also, wouldn’t it be fun to look back at Murray’s predictions and realize that they’ve all come to be?

Okay, now let’s finally get to the romance elements!

First thing I want to start with is this shot:

So… they had to show us a mailbox, didn’t they? With that name “Lipton” which as I mentioned in my previous post… is associated with Thomas Lipton who had a lover named William Love.

1 point for #lettergate

And…

“Hope Our Love Lives/Lasts And Never Dies”

WWII solders used the acronym H.O.L.L.A.N.D. to convey a love message in a letter. The whole love letters association with Mike and Will never end, do they?

2 points for #lettergate!

As for the “2121”, I think it’s possible that it’s referencing multiple things… number references are tricky like that in my opinion. But I will say that @/thestrangestthing89 brought up the fact that “2121” could be a reference to “Twin Flames” which is yet another reference to romance.

Continuing on with the romance…

Let’s return back to the scene where Reefer Rick is first mentioned. After Max mentioned him, we are cut to Steve talking about a movie.

A movie filled with action and romance, you say?

So… Doctor Zhivago.

Basically a tale of two people in love during a difficult time (Russian Revolution) being separated, with other people, then finally reunited. Not completely unlike our boys. Notice how the “adult” sign is noticeable in the background. Not kids anymore.

He mentions action, which I’m sure there will be some of as well at the famous lake.

Okay enough with the silly details, let’s stop and look at the bigger picture.

Our beloved lake. Look how gorgeous it truly is. Plus the fact that it’s a literal heart? You can’t get more “on the nose” than that.

Now, who else is known as a heart? (Tough question I know…)

This boy is, without a doubt, narratively tied to the lake. He is “the heart”… he is THE LAKE (symbolically).

Thank you to @/everaster for bringing attention to the fact that after Mike was pushed to deliver that monologue to El by Will, Max “died”, then the gates opened WIDE. One of those gates, as we know, is located within Lover’s Lake… known was “watergate” (term coined by Dustin).

So, as of now in this story… Lover’s Lake is literally broken in two. A broken heart in need of mending.

Who better to accomplish that task than the boy who has known him for a decade and loves him completely and selflessly?

💌📬❤️‍🩹

Hope you enjoyed these posts as much as I enjoyed making them! It’s honestly so much fun looking for evidence and finding such interesting stuff. Some of it may be reaching, and that’s okay because it’s all in good fun! That’s what fandoms are all about.

The level of attention to detail in this show never ceases to amaze me! There’s so much depth and clues to look for and play around with. I hope to have sparked some inspiration and creativity for some people! 💛💙💚

As always, would love to know your thoughts!

Lovers Lake

Warnings: S M U T, degrading kink, slapping, hair pulling, besties with extra benefits (that’s pretty much it)

Summery: your best friend Eddie and you decided to go to lovers lake for just a swim but turns out to you both fucking after that you both make a some what big decision. Hopefully it not destroyingyour friend ship.

A/N: this was my first time actually finishing a smut story so I’m sorry if it’s bad.

WC: 2k

“Hey y/n you wanna go to ‘lovers lake’ whore?” Eddie says yelling making people look at him with weird looks.

“I sure do you slut.” You say back laughing as Eddie comes over to you and leans on the locker next to yours.

Eddie nods and just looks at you.

“You okay?” You ask laughing and shutting your locker.

“I’m just so done with today. I couldn’t imagine it only being Wednesday.”

“Oh well too bad because you are dreaming and it is Wednesday.”

Eddie scoffs, and you, too, start to walk outside as someone tells Eddie to fuck off and get off his locker, making the both of you laugh.

“Okay, well, I’ll pick you up at 9?” Eddie asks, walking to his van.

“Maybe you will.” You are say when you turn around and walk toward your house.

Eddie yells something to you, but you pay no mind to it as you are too far to find out what he said.

When you get home, you decide to go thru your bathing suits deciding whether or not to pick a one-piece or a two-piece.

After deciding on a one-piece or two-piece, you go with the two-piece because why the hell not? Plus, it’ll only be you too.

You take off your school clothes and put on your bathing suit and put a dress on so that it’ll be easy to take off and put back on.

You are nervous to ask your mother to go over because you can’t tell her that you’ll be going to ‘lovers lake’ with a boy. It wasn’t your first time lying to her, but it was your first time lying to hang out with Eddie somewhere other than his trailer.

You walk out knowing it is now or never, and you see her sitting down watching the news.

“Hey, mom, is it alright if I go to Lauren’s house tonight?”

That wasn’t too hard, you think to yourself.

“Yes, that’s fine. Are you going to be back tonight?”

“Tomorrow. If that’s okay.”

“Of course, it’s okay. I won’t be able to call and check up on you tonight, though. I hope that’s okay.” Your mom says, making this the best news you have ever heard.

“Oh yeah, that’s okay. We are probably going to watch movies and eat food anyway.”

Your mom nods her head “when will you be going?”

“I’ll be walking to meet up with her at eight-thirty.”

“Okay, be safe.” Your mom says and turns her attention back to the television

Your mom isn’t that strict. She has rules, and you try not to break them so often, but when you do, it’s only a little one like now.

Once it hits eight-thirty, you say goodnight and I love you to your mom and get your bag that way, it doesn’t seem suspicious.

You wait about 20ish minutes when you finally see headlights in your driveway.

“Jesus, you couldn’t take any longer.” You say to Eddie when he parks and gets out.

“Oh, I’m so sorry. I didn’t say I’d pick you up at 9.” Eddie says, laughing. “Now get in loser. I wanna go!”

You roll your eyes even tho Eddie can’t see and get into his van.

“So, what did you do when you got home?” Eddie asks when he’s been driving for about 10 minutes or so.

“Went thru my bathing suits, got dressed, and then talked to my mom.” I laugh at how boring I must sound.

“What bathing suit did you pick out?”

“None of your business.” You say back, making Eddie take his eyes off the road for a second.

“I guess I’ll see when we get to ‘Lovers Lake’ then.” He says, making you shrug and taking his attention back to the road.

“Maybe.”

The rest of the car ride is silent, but not a sinister silence.

Eddie parks his van, and you didn’t realize that you guys made it already.

Eddie just made things go by so fast, and you had no idea why but it was a good thing.

“Are you going to get out? Or stay in my van all day, loser?” Eddie asks, standing by his open door.

“I think I will stay in your van while you have all the fun.” You say, laughing while getting out.

Eddie laughs and rounds his van standing next to you, and you both start to walk to the lake. Once you both get to the lake grounds, you begin to take your clothes off and shoes.

Once you take your dress off, you see Eddie staring at you, and you feel your face heat up.

“What are you looking at?” You ask, a little shy now.

“It’s just your bathing suit... it’s Metallica, and Iron Maiden, my two favorite bands, and their albums are on your bottoms. It’s just so fucking awesome.”

You start to blush because you know Eddie loved these bands. You wanted his attention, but not in just a friendly way attention. You don’t know why but you just wanted him to look at you, and it seemed to work.

You smiled at Eddie, knowing damn well that you wore this two-piece because you knew he loved these bands.

When Eddie took off his shirt, you couldn’t help but look at him. He was just so handsome and fuck.. you didn’t want to think about your best friend that way, but you couldn’t help it when he looked like a god.

“When you finish staring, we can start walking,” Eddie says, catching you red-handed and making your face beat red.

You and Eddie walk together into the water, making you stop as it’s freezing, making Eddie walk farther into the water by himself.

“What, are you cold or something?” Eddie says, teasing you when you don’t walk further with him.

You flip Eddie off, walking further in so he would stop teasing you. “Better asshole?”

Eddie walks over to you, smiling. “Do you want me to carry you? It’ll be easier in a way.” Eddie says Mockingly.

You shake your head, yes, and Eddie lifts you out of the water, making you wrap your legs around his waist just above his dick.

“No, no, wait, it’s too cold.” You protest, putting your face into his neck, trying to warm up from his body heat, but Eddie keeps walking anyway, making you feel defeated because anything you say or do, he’s not going to listen.

“Okay, I’ll set you down in a second. We’re almost there.” Eddie says, looking at you.

You don’t say anything but nod your head because it’s too freezing to say anything. Eddie finally stops walking and lets you down, making you yelp at how cold the water is and with no warning.

“Jesus, it’s cold, but it’s worth it.” You say, looking in awe at the moon reflecting off of the water.

“It is.”

You and Eddie look at each other, and both laugh at how awkward it has gotten.

When you look away, you hear a splash in the water, making your head whip to the noise.

“Holy shit, that was nice,” Eddie says, coming back from the water and laughing at how scared you looked.

“I bet-” before you could finish, Eddie starts to splash you and laughs hysterically at how you flinch.

“Stop it, Eddie.” You say pretending to be mad, but you weren’t angry. You loved the way Eddie teased you.

When Eddie wasn’t paying attention, you started to splash him as if it was only fair. Eddie looks at you, and you both start to splash each other, laughing like you never have before, making the night unforgettable.

You and Eddie stop splashing each other to regain your breath, and you start to swim closer to Eddie and stop in front of him.

“What do you want?” Eddie asks, making your roll your eyes.

“What, I can’t stand in front of you anymore? Fine then.” You say, turning around, but Eddie grabs your wrist and pulls you against him.

“I didn’t say that, did I?” He ask in your ear, making you shiver.

“You didn’t..” you whisper.

Eddie lets go of your wrist and slide his hand down to your hip bone, making you whimper. You melt into Eddie’s body, even more when he begins to slide his hand up to your chest and slowly plays with your boob making you moan.

“Mm fuck Eddie.” Your body reacts, and you start to grind on his dick, making him groan.

“C’mer,” Eddie says, turning you around and picking you up.

Eddie wraps his arms around you and holds you up, looking into your eyes. “Is this okay?” Eddie ask.

“It’s more than okay.” You say, kissing down his neck and making him moan.

Eddie takes one of his arms away from you, making you grip onto him harder with your legs making him chuckle. Eddie reaches your bottoms and pulls them down the best he can without putting you down.

“Fuck I might have to put you down,” Eddie says, making you moan in protest.

You nod anyway, and Eddie sets you down and takes your bottoms and top off; Eddie takes off his bottoms also and picks you back up when you both are good.

When you both are situated, Eddie picks you back up, making sure to touch your pussy on his dick, making you moan.

“Oh fuck.. I’m going to put my dick inside you, okay?”

You are a little nervous, it’s not your first time, but it’s your first time with him.

Your best friend since second grade. The man you had always liked but didn’t know how to tell him. And now you two are about to have sex in lovers' lake.

“Fuck me like a whore Eddie Munson.”

Eddie growls and sits you on his dick without warning, making you moan loudly.

“Oh fuuck, Eddie.” You moan loudly.

“Feels good?” He asks, making you bounce harder.

You can’t speak with all the pleasure going thru your whole body, so you nod, making Eddie slap your face lightly but enough for you to moan.

“Words. I need fucking words.” He says, gripping your cheeks.

“I-it feels so fucking good.” You moan out when Eddie makes you hit the spot, and he lets go of your cheeks.

Eddie moans in your ear, making you tighten around his dick.

“Oh god, Eddie… I’m not going to last. I need to cum.” You cry out, bouncing on his dick harder and faster.

“Not yet, baby.. cum with me.”

You cry out and start to suck on Eddie’s neck, making him grip your ass hard, leaving scratch marks.

“Oh.. fuck, I’m going to cum fuck.” Eddie moans in your ear just for you to hear.

“Cum with me.” You moan in his ear, making him groan loudly.

Eddie starts to rub your clit, making you bury your head in his neck.

“Let me hear you, baby,” Eddie says, pulling your hair so you are looking at him.

“I can’t last much longer.” You cry out, scratching his back.

“Fuck.. cum for me, baby. I wanna feel you.”

That’s all it takes for you to cry out and cum on Eddie’s dick, making him cum with you and groan in your neck.

Shrivers run down your body when Eddie doesn’t pull out yet and stands there looking at you.

“You are so beautiful when you cum.” Eddie says, making your face heat up.

“I could maybe say the same thing.” You say, laughing.

Eddie glares at you but laughs it off, knowing damn well he is very handsome when he cums.

“Sooo.. can I come over and stay the night at your trailer?” You ask, walking back up to Eddie’s van.

“Hmm, I guess that could work,” Eddie says, making you slap his arm.

“You want me too.. and who knows, maybe you could get some more sex.” You say quietly, getting in his van.

“What was that smart ass?” Eddie asks starting his van and driving away.

“Hm? Oh, nothing.” You say, looking at Eddie.

Eddie shakes his head laughing.

“Do you want to have sex again? Not right away.. or right away but without being in a relationship?”

“Like friends with benefits?” He asks, looking at you for a second before turning to look at the road again.

“Yes..” your a little nervous. Despite everything that just happened, your still a little nervous.

“What happens if we fall in love with each other? I wouldn’t want that to stop us from being friends or anything.”

You don’t know what to say to that because you are already In love with him. But you want to take it slow. You want to see where the future takes you both.

“Let’s just have the future handle that.” You say, looking at him.

“Let’s be friends with benefits then.”

You and Eddie smile at each other when he pulls into his driveway and sit there in silence for a few minutes before Eddie starts to speak. “Let’s go inside so we can take a shower and cuddle.”

You nod your head excitedly in agreement, and you both get out and walk into his trailer.

(if there are any mistakes, I'm sorry, I fixed everything I saw was wrong with it)
