Counselor Note: Thank you for all the love and reactions to this series <3 My requests are open, so please send any thoughts, requests, or even just pop by to say hi! Hopefully, you all enjoy it. I'm not too sure how I feel about this part- part of me like it, part of me doesn't. Have a lovely day!

The vibrant flares erupt into the night sky as the bonfire ignites to life. Friendly chatter echoes alongside insects humming in late August. With groans about class schedule results and mourning the oncoming cold seasons’ approach, summer comes to an end.

Embers floating to join the twinkling stars seem to only enhance the sparkle of joy in your eyes. Just as the falling ashes suffocate Eddie. It’s as if you were reborn this summer- emerging from the sullen remnants of whatever you may have been going through and now light up in a newly found confidence. Pride swells in him to see you become a step closer to the best version of yourself, and no longer the shell of a human you had been since arriving back home in Hawkins.

But as he watches Steve pull you into a loose headlock to mess your hair and you jokingly swat at his arm, confusion clouds Eddie’s consciousness. For the whole summer, he’s noticed an invisible wall sealing you two off in your own little world. And Eddie can’t help but wince as stinging jealousy burns his throat with a sip of his beer. It begins to boil when Steve takes his newly claimed place by your side. When did it become you and Steve?

Ignoring the intense stare from across the fire, your attention bounces between Johnathan and his visiting friend, Argyle.

“I’m telling you,” Jonathan tries to explain.

“And I’m telling you- there’s nothing, nadda, that can beat the sweet sensation of Purple Palm Tree Delight,” Argyle raises his hands in assumed victory.

A huff of entertained disagreement leaves you, “You’re both incorrect.” Both boy’s soft expressions grow attentive when they look your way. “Clearly neither of you have tried Rick’s newest stock. Calls it ‘Wonderland’. Makes you feel like you’re experiencing everything for the first time. Swear by it.”

Jonathan and Argyle look at you with curious reservation. That’s a bold statement for even the finest connoisseur to make.

Steve chuckles from behind you, “Look, Johnathan, you know me. I don’t smoke anything, usually. But this? Felt like everything was perfect.” His hot breath tickles the shell of your ear sending shivers down your spine. “Notta drop of worry or anxiety- just flooded with, well,” he chuckles, sparing an unabashed look at your glowing form, “wonder.”

Crushing metal and aching knuckles breaks Eddie’s concentration from the interaction. Looking down at the crumpled can, he sees that not only his hand is covered in sticky beer but also Chrissy’s. He didn’t even notice her consoling touch.

Pressing a kiss to her temple, Eddie apologizes while getting up to search for something to wipe them clean. Chrissy follows the back of Eddie’s figure as he makes his way into the house after you and Robin. Something gnaws at the back of her mind and tingles with increasing nervous energy.

Fluorescent lights welcome you and Robin in your rummage to find something appealing to eat. An empty stomach this late into the night never mixes well- from personal experience. Cabinets shut with a bump and suggestions tossed cover the sound of a third pair of footsteps entering the house.

“So are we going to address the elephant in the room?” Robin dances around the kitchen.

“What’re you on about?” you peer over at her, but turn to resume your search.

Robin slaps her hands against the countertop and hums, “Oh I don’t know. You and Steve. Sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-.”

You quickly interrupt her song, “It’s nothing like that. We’re just- he’s just- he’s my best friend is all. That’s all.” Your voice grows an octave trying to explain your connection with Steve.

Blood rushes into his ears as Eddie slams the cabinet closed and whips around to face your shocked form. “Oh, so he’s my replacement, huh? I’ve been wondering where I stand in this,” his voice booms with anger. Not yelling, but an intensity bites at you with every word he bellows.

You pinch the bridge of your nose, a pressure building and hammering against your skull, tired from this conversation already. “You're still my best friend, Eddie. I can have more than one.” You cross your arms and face him head on. If this is how he wants this to go down- so be it. You’re not going to hold back. Not anymore.

“Really?” he squints in mock amusement. “Because with the way you’ve fucked off with Harrington and left me,” he shifts from pointing at the back yard towards himself, “It seems like you’ve moved on pretty fast.”

Your fingertips twitch and tingle from the bubbling rage rising in your body. Robin coughs uncomfortably before she scurries to the backyard. A look of panic paints her face when she takes one last look at the scene.

“That’s pretty rich coming from you, Munson,” you spit with venom. A ferocity, one that even strikes fear in Eddie, exudes from you.

“The hell’s that supposed to mean?” Eddie’s voice drops to dead seriousness.

You let out a cold bark of laughter, “You’re fucking with me, yeah? You cannot actually be this blind to it all.” You stare at him incredulously, his stone-like expression never melts to recognition.

“You really are,” you pause, “Where do I begin?”

Slowly drawing closer to Eddie, you stand toe to toe with him. His big brown eyes, once held your heart hostage, now hold nothing but unease as he looks you square in the eye. Trying to still appear in confident control, Eddie can’t help but swallow every word he wanted to say.

In a very calm, but firm tone, “You disappeared first,” you state, jabbing a finger to his chest with each word. The last one causes a surge of fire to kindle in you, as you observe a flinch to shudder through Eddie.

By this time, Robin had already relayed in a worried ramble what was unfolding inside to the rest of the group. Steve and Chrissy launch themselves towards the house with Johnathan and Argyle following close behind. Vicky and Robin try to reassure the kid’s worried concerns that it’ll work out. Nancy chews on her lip to numb the creeping fear festering in her and watches as a crowd forms at the entrance.

Neither of you notice the small audience, who hang out to your every word, at the sliding door. “I had to hear second hand from Robin and Nance what you were up to when the letters stopped coming and the phone calls went silent,” you hiss. “Only to find out that you got your girl. Fine- you’re in puppy love. Whatever. We have all of summer to catch up, right?” You let out a raspy, dry chuckle. Eddie’s eyes sting in guilt as apprehension pricks his skin, never seeing you so upset.

“Wrong. Every call I made was followed by an empty promise made by a lovesick boy,” you growl. “Hell, Wayne knows what I was up to, only because he stuck long enough to talk.”

Your pointed look pierces through Eddie, “I can take the whole ‘blinded by young love’ thing, but only to an extent. And I fucking did, for Chrissake! Because I’m so happy- truly and genuinely happy that you’re finally being loved and cared for like you deserve.”

Taking a deep breath, you collect oxygen to feed the fire stoking through your veins. “But you’re an inconsiderate fool who I’m done allowing the ability to break my heart. Time and time and time again. All those years,” your voice wobbles fueled by passion, “I have sat and watched you fall so deeply and hopelessly in love with Chrissy. I caught you everytime she looked past you and set her sight on someone else. I was your shoulder to cry on when she agreed to date Carver, of all people. I was the one to pull you out of your head when you thought you weren’t enough. I loved you so authentically that I offered my bleeding heart on a silver platter.” Your chest heaves, blood rushes to your head, adrenaline buzzes through your body.

“But you never spared me a second glance.”

Neither of you could pinpoint who started to cry first. Dizzying, painful realization washed through Eddie. No longer seeing his lost best friend, but instead recognizes the broken lover that finally shattered.

Swallowing deep breaths, your lungs cry for more air and demand for resolution, “I loved you wholly and unconditionally. Only to be tossed to the side and replaced by your girl.” Straightening yourself and moving in the direction of the front door, you make one more point: “Steve caught me when I fell. I will not- absolutely not- tolerate any jab or ill thought you have against him.”

The resounding echo of the front door slamming sends everyone into a flurry. Chrissy pushes past the boys as Jonathan and Argyle struggle to hold back an infuriated Steve. Eddie stands frozen in place by your chilling truth. The sound of Chrissy consoling him falls mute to his ringing ears. He can only focus on the intense wash of shock invading his system. Eyes locked on the tile floor where you once stood.

Steve breaks free of Jonathan and Argyle’s hold and hurls himself in fury to take up the place you occupied moments ago. Seeing the dazed look on Eddie’s face meet his enraged, wild eyes, Steve’s lost all control as everything turns red. Without second thought, Steve grabs the collar of Eddie’s shirt and sends a sickening blow to his face. Crunching bone and gushing blood triggers a new symphony of shocked cries and heated voices.

Pulling Eddie right to his face, Steve can smell the strong scent of iron from the broken bone. He can only hear the agonizing pants pushing past the metalhead’s mouth. He only feels absolute fear and regret from Eddie.

Shoving off grasping hands at his shoulders, Steve shakes Eddie by the collar with both hands. One side now stained with the owner’s blood. Eyes ablazed and looking right in Eddie’s pained look of acceptance, Steve grits through barred teeth: “I picked up the pieces you didn’t even know you broke.”

With one last jostle, Steve drops Eddie to the ground and makes his leave. “Don’t even think about trying any shit. No apology can make up for the pain you caused.”

Rushing outside, Steve’s eyes dart over the small sea of cars parked in the driveway. His gaze locks onto yours just as you look up from starting the family car. Adrenaline gives him the extra speed to make it into the passenger seat as the group of friends flood out the front door.

“Drive- fucking drive,” Steve exclaims with a laughter of disbelief.

Without question, you floor it in reverse and make your escape. The stereo blocks out their calls and shouts to come back. To explain what the hell just happened. “You gonna tell me what happened when I left?” you probe after a few minutes of excited tension.

“Don’t know what you mean,” Steve shoots you his mischievous smile.

You hum unconvinced by his teasing words and take his tattered hand to press a soft kiss to his bruised and bloody knuckles.

“What’s the soundtrack to our getaway?” Steve inquires, not letting go of your hand. Gently rubbing circles across your knuckles to soothe your slight shaking. Pride glowing in his already lit up eyes at your satisfied smile.

“Heartbreaker, by Pat Benatar,” you victoriously declare.

I Love You // Eddie Munson Headcanon

ᴘʜᴏᴛᴏ ʙʏ @soulsdontbreaktheybeeend

masterlist | oneshots

Eddie and you have been best friends since diapers

you two grew up in the same mobile home park all your lives, so naturally, it was common to have him so close to you

elementary was fun with Eddie, he always had this big smile and loved to terrorize the other kids to make you laugh

“I love you, Y/N. You’re my best friend.” Eddie said.

“I love you too, Eddie. You’re my best friend.” You replied hugging him.

middle school Eddie grew up to love the world of rock and metal, which then he turned you into it as well

it was an unspoken found love between the two of you, which meant nights hanging out at the record store together

you two would hang out all day, every day, and when there was a day without the other, it was a horrible day

and when either of you got teased, bullied, or physically bullied, you two stepped in to help the other

“No matter what happens in life, you are my best friend, Eddie. I love you.” You said looking over at him.

“I feel the same way, Y/N. I love you.” Eddie said smiling, holding your hand.

high school Eddie was completely different, but in a good way. he had his hellfire club running with his friends and incoming freshman

they all decided to adopt you as their club “mom” which was sweet considering you’d bake for them

although he changed, he still stayed the same with you. goofing around and showing you the lighter side of life

all your friends would urge him to just get with you already seeing how close and shyly crushes you both had, but you didn’t want to ruin the relationship you had either

and when you got stood up for the senior prom, Eddie decided to take you. wiped your tears, and gently kissed your temple telling you it was all going to be okay

“I love you, Eddie. You deserve the world.” You said laying your head on his chest.

“That’s all you, darlin. I love you too.” He rubbed your back, kissing your head.

adult-graduated Eddie was your favorite; completely open and head over heels in love with you, and you were head over heels in love with him too

first time Eddie said I love you as a couple was while you two were laying in the back of his van stargazing

it was a normal occurrence for both of you on date nights. every Friday from spring to fall you’d do this, spending time alone with each other, food, and music

“I am in love with you, Y/N Y/L/N. I always have been, ever since middle school. Yeah, we were kids, but you have always been there. Your heart is so pure, I can’t imagine anyone else being the love of my life. I will protect you from any and everything life throws at us. Vecna-again- demon bats, anything.” Eddie caressed your cheek softly.

“I am in love with you, Eddie Munson. I think I have been as well. My whole life I saw you as someone who could never do anything wrong, and you still haven’t. You’re selfless, carefree, and just overall the man of my dreams. Yeah you’re a metal head and I’m a rocker, but that won’t stop me from loving you. You are the love of my life.” You said leaning into him.

Halloween Party - Billy Hargrove

Billy x Fem!reader

Warnings: none

Word count: 1,560

Summary: At Tommy’s Halloween party a certain couple talks about their secret relationship. Will they decide to tell everyone or will insecurities get in the way?

Authors Note: So basically I just wanted to be able to post a Halloween Imagine on Halloween. So I wrote this which I personally thought would be short but just the dialog ended up being on paper 9 pages (ten on google docs), then adding all the details and etc etc it filled up. This ended up longer than I thought it would be but I’ll never complain about that haha. I wanted to be able to post something on this holiday and I’m proud of this. I chose Stranger Things for the Halloween Imagine cause they actually go through the holiday in the show so perfect. Thank You and Happy Halloween

Prompts: “Oh yeah, I’m totally into cannibalism.” - @bookofmirth

“You’d be a lot more intimidating if you weren’t dressed like that.” - @olicityropes

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

“Come on Y/n/n. Cheer up.” Steve spoke from upfront in the driver’s seat after having been glancing back at his sister for the hundredth time. In the last 8-minute car ride.

“It’s a party, you love parties.” Nancy added giving Y/n a quick smile and glance from the passenger’s seat. Y/n appreciated their worry but it’s not like she could tell them why she wasn’t herself.

“It just wasn’t a good day ok? I’ll cheer up once we get there. Promise.” Y/n told them from the backseat. She just couldn’t wait till they got to Tommy’s Halloween Party, then she could get out of the car and go find the person she’s been missing all day.

Once they arrived at the party Steve, Nancy, and Y/n separated. She left her brother to have some time alone with Nancy. All the while Y/n went in search of a certain person. The party was already practically full so it was a little harder to find anyone.

Luckily enough for Y/n the person she was in the process of looking for had already spotted her and was heading over towards her.

When Billy reached Y/n he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her back into his chest. Y/n let out a squeal of surprise. Billy leaned his head down a bit and started off kissing along her neck and shoulders. Before he decided to get a bigger reaction out of her and bite down on her neck. “WHAT THE HELL BILLY!”

“Just wanted to surprise my girl.” Billy mumbled into her hair as he kissed the top of her head, as he chuckled a bit at the reaction he got.

“By biting my neck?” Y/n asked turning her head to look at him with an amused look.

“Oh yeah, I’m totally into cannibalism.” Billy nodded, speaking with a totally serious face and tone. Y/n broke out into a smile and laughter, Billy ended up breaking and joined in.

“You’re so weird, and cute at the same time.” Y/n shook her head at Billy’s antics as she turned her whole body to face him.

“Thank you” Billy smirked proudly.

Y/n shook her head and chuckled “That was really only half a compliment.”

Billy’s smirk turned into a smile and he hummed before answering. “Considering you love both of those qualities about me, the whole thing is a compliment, Sweetheart.” The couple laughed softly at his statement, knowing it was completely true. After the two both calmed down the laughter Billy decided to ask the question he was pretty sure he already knew the answer to but it still was bothering him. “Your brother come tonight?”

Y/n looked up at her boyfriend, already knowing where this is coming from on his part. She nodded ‘yes’ while answering. “Yes. He drove me.”

Billy hummed, nodding to show he heard. Billy ran his tongue along his teeth, hanging his head before speaking. “I wish you would have let me drive you.”

“Billy. . .” Y/n sighed

“I know, I know.” He nodded already knowing where this would go. Where it goes every time.

“You didn’t want him to find out either.” Y/n pointed out to him, poking him in the chest.

“I know, it just sucks.” Billy admitted

“I agree.” Y/n agreed leaning her head against his chest with a sigh. “Maybe we should say screw it.” With that statement, Billy burst out in laughter as if that was the funniest thing he had heard all night. Y/n pulled out of his warm embrace to look at him. “I’m being serious Billy.” Y/n smacked him hard across the chest.

“Ouch” he chuckled, rubbing his chest that was turning red in the spot that she had hit. But it wasn’t hard enough to bruise. Both of them knew that. Billy forced his attention back on Y/n. “You’d be a lot more intimidating if you weren’t dressed like that.” Billy tilted his head sucking in a breath looking Y/n up and down, checking her out. Billy reached out to take her hips but Y/n moved a few steps back out of his reach.

Y/n smirked up at him and raised a brow. “Oh, so you like my costume?”

Billy nodded a little quickly, but he definitely likes it. “It’s fucking sexy.”

“Hmmm, so is yours.” Y/n hummed sizing up her boyfriend, who of course chose a costume that showed off his chest. Which Y/n love’s but right now she was trying to have a serious conversation about the topic at hand. “But I was being serious, Hargrove.”

“Oh so we’re back to last names, Harrington?” Billy smirked

Y/n sighed in defeat giving Billy her best puppy dog look. “Billy be serious for a few minutes, please.”

Billy gave a slight nod before surveying the house. He grabbed her hand and lead her to a more private area to talk about this. “Ok, ok. Tell your brother were together?”

“Yes” Y/n nodded

“Babe, we both know for a fact he’s gonna think I’ve just been using you to piss him off. Now that’s never been why, and I’ve tryed to make that clear in our relationship to you the best I can. The thought of your brother figuring out or telling him, in the beginning, was a bonus. To piss him off like that. Him having to deal with his sister dating his enemy. Priceless.” Billy stated as they entered an empty guest room. He sighed running a hand through his hair in frustration before continuing on with his explanation. “But now its different. Now I don’t want it to piss him off. Not on purpose at least. I’m serious about this. About us.”

Y/n smiled at him, her eyes filled with adoration. “I know, Billy. I’m serious about this too.”

“I just don’t want to lose you. Especially over something like that.” He admitted with a shake of his head. Billy did not want to lose her.

“You won’t lose me, Billy. I promise.” Y/n spoke gently but still with a firm tone so he would know she meant it, with all her heart. She rushed over to him cupping the sides of his face, stroking his fingers gently across his cheeks.

“Don’t get me wrong, Y/n. I would like nothing more than to tell your brother- tell everyone. I want to show you off, that your mine, to all the world. But I don’t want to ruin this.” Billy pointed between them towards the end, for emphasis. He scoffed at himself and the situation as he took a step back and sat down on the bed.

“No one will take what we have, Billy. I promise. Not my brother, not Tommy, Carol, Nancy, your father. No one.” Y/n stated as she took a step back as well, so she stood between his legs. Y/n’s hands were leaving Billy. “So what’d you say?” Y/n asked moving her left hand to cup the back of his neck and right hand down to intertwine their hands together.

“We can tell everyone. I’ll fight for us if anything happens.” Billy nodded, agreeing to let their relationship be known to the rest of Hawkins. They have both been wanting to since the begging but the two also knew it’d be better if they waited. Well, no more waiting.

“Me too.” Y/n agreed biting her lip, trying to contain her excitement.

“My fathers getting nowhere near what we have though.” Billy stated with hard eyes and voice. He was never gonna let his abusive, asshole father anywhere near his girl, or their relationship.

Y/n nodded in agreement, absolutely understanding where he was coming from. “I completely understand that.”

“Wanna go tell everyone now?” Billy asked wiggling his eyebrows while moving his unoccupied hand to hold her hip.

“Huh?” Y/n tilted her head, mouth open and eye wide in shock.

“Well, everyone from school is here tonight- or at least most of them.” He pointed out. But Y/n was still in a little shock. Normally having this conversation was like pulling teeth. An with how this one started off she thought it was gonna go that same way, but it didn’t. Y/n let out a series of small laughs which made him ask. “What?”

Y/n shook her head. “Nothing just. You went from not really wanting to, to wanting to tonight.”

Billy smirked pulling her closer with a tug, making her fall into him. “If we’re gonna do this we need to do this with a bang.”

“Wait, Billy.” Y/n pulled away to look at him as much as his grip would let her.

“Yeah?”

“You still want to drive me?” she asked amused but also hoping he still did want to drive her.

Billy nodded “‘course. Why?”

“Well, once we announce our relationship I don’t think Steve’s gonna wanna take me home. Or drive me anywhere for a while.” Y/n bit her lip giving him a mischievous smile.

“I’d drive you everywhere and anywhere if you’d let me.” Billy mirrored her smile before pulling her in for a kiss. They deserve to enjoy the last few minutes of their secret before the inevitable happens.

Graduation // Eddie Munson Headcanon

masterlist | oneshots

Eddie couldn’t believe that he was actually graduating after his third attempt

the last seven years of his life had been a rollercoaster, but something about graduating this year felt different

no one could tell who was happier, Wayne or Eddie

not only did he have his new freshman friends, but he also had his amazing girlfriend to help him through this year

she moved to Hawkins three years ago and was a sophomore when Eddie was a first senior

“Hi, I’m Y/N. I’m new here and completely lost.” She nervously chuckled looking up at Eddie. He thought she was adorable and offered to show her around the whole school, fully knowing he had a class to be in.

“Hi, I’m Eddie. I’ll show you around, I don’t want to be in class anyways.” He smiled at her, to which she returned. “Ms. O’Donnell’s class is really boring.”

“That’s where I’m headed. Hopefully, I get to be with you in my other classes too.” He harshly blushed at the comment.

they became fast friends after that first encounter. she even got to meet his band members which then was close with them as well, so when graduation came it needed to be a good memory

graduation morning was hectic trying to get their clothes looking snappy and their gowns fitting right

Eddie wore his Hellfire shirt and jeans underneath his gown and his girlfriend matched him as well

Wayne had made pancakes, coffee, and bacon for the kids before they needed to leave

Eddie didn’t want graduation to be this big thing. he felt like it was people praising him for finally doing what everyone else can do

however, his best girl had to get him something special. she scheduled to have the drama storage room on graduation night to have one big hellfire club blowout

the next day Eds and Wayne would join Y/N’s family for a graduation dinner; no way would her family let her not have anything

after cleaning up the drama room, they headed back to the trailer dropping their things off

“Stay with me tonight?” Eddie wrapped his arms around her, holding her close.

“Of course.” She smiled wide holding him back.

“Eddie before you go to bed, a word.” Y/N left to go to his room to give them a moment. “I’m proud of you, son. You’ve worked really hard this year.” Wayne hugged his nephew.

“Thank you, Wayne. The only one that believed in me when no one would.” Eddie choked back some tears.

all that was left was the rest of their lives and the worst part of high school was behind them
