Should I do a masterlist ?

For requests

———

You were in your car, well your mom’s car, in the parking lot, ready to go to that metal show you dreamed about since the announcement. Outside, it was already crowded. And that made you nervous. What if all of these people were as bad as your dad. Before you went out, your dad came across you and saw your ‘’too feminine’’ outfit. He commented it, called you all the bad names, and also said he would probably get you to therapy for that. The way he looked at you felt so bad, it made you feel so sick and scared. What does ‘’therapy’’ mean ? That you were sick ? No. You were just… You. But once here, in the safety of your car, in this parking lot crowded with ‘’freaks’’, for some reason, you felt more… Free to be yourself. Your outfit was just a crop top, showing a bit of your belly, with ripped black jeans held by your belt and black boots. Other than that, nothing much. On the shirt you had on,  Black Sabbath was written, the name a bit worn out by washing it, and some of the letters were cut a little since you tried to cut your shirt by yourself with your mom’s scissors.

You came at the show alone. You had some friends, or just people you get to talk to from time to time… but they didn’t know you liked metal and rock and music that was forbidden for a young boy like you. They also didn’t know you had a big crush on that guy working part time at the video store. Steve was his name. So you were scared, and didn’t know how people would react. You thought for a second that, maybe some people would be violent toward you. But once you got out of your car and saw people in their own head, wearing ripped jeans, and tank tops and leather jackets, not minding business toward your choice of clothing, you just felt good. You walked toward the entrance, ready to pay for you ticket. Nobody seemed to judge you. Everyone were excited for this concert, at the point it got you excited too.

When you entered the place, it was a big field, a lot of grass, groups of people were waiting, sitting, smoking, from places to others. The stage at the front was huge. You walked around for a bit, saw a bar selling bears and, water. There wasn’t more options really, so you bought yourself some water. It was hotter by the minute. People were getting on stage to check the instruments and sound and lights. You were happy to see nobody from your school. Nobody you would usually see at Hawkins. It got you relieved.

You walked to the middle of the crowd, a bit more to the front where there was some space. You were right behind some guy who had a sort of Dio jean vest and such heavy and messy hair you thought for a second this person could hide all the drugs of the world in it and never get caught. You knew it was a silly and stupid taught, because it made you laugh a little, for no reason. You tried to hide your nervous laugh by drinking a little bit of water. But as you were drinking, that person in front of you, for some reason, turned and suddenly knocked into you.

‘’Jesus H !’’ He said as water splashed right in your face and clothes, your plastic cup now crumpled in your fist. You closed your eyes a second, drying your face by dragging your hand over your eyes and nose.

‘’What the fuck dude !’’ You said in a sigh as you looked up. For a second you froze as you recognized Eddie Munson from school. Now, you wanted to disappear. This guy was probably the worst guy of all Hawkins School. Yeah, maybe he liked metal like you, but he was so loud and always making a ruckus at school during lunch. He always looked mean and made fun of things that weren’t funny to laugh at. But for some reason, he looked sorry and nervous from his clumsiness, and for once you thought maybe he wasn’t that mean.

‘’I’m sorry ! I didn’t mean to… Listen I’m going to get you some paper towels and a new cup of water… Wait… Y/N ?’’

You didn’t respond, you didn’t know what to do, you wanted to run and hide, but the crowd was getting more dense and there was not much place for running. You thought for a second there was still a chance to hide, but you stayed and decided to respond. ‘’Huh… Munson…’’ You said in a shaky voice. You felt his eyes drag to your now wet shirt, then to your belly, that was clearly shown to the whole world right now. You faked to cross your arms, just a bit lower than usual, just to hide his view from your skin and looked away for a second.

‘’Yeah ! Huh, didn’t know you liked Black Sabbath. I mean… Who knew you liked actual music, I thought you’d be more into…’’

‘’Bowie ? Cindy Lauper ? Kate Bush ? The church choir ?’’ You said, looking right into his eyes. ‘’I’m not… What most people think I am.’’

‘’I mean… I’m sorry I misunderstood you for a while.’’ He nervously smiled a little, resting his hand on the back of his head and scratching it. He seamed a bit, uncomfortable by the situation. Something inside you just felt bad for him. But, you didn’t felt as uncomfortable as you’d imagine you would. ‘’It’s ok. A lot of people think that too, not just you. And anyways, it’s not as if I screamed to the whole town I love metal, what are the chances you would’ve known ?’’ You said, throwing the cup on the floor.

‘’I don’t know if it’s ok actually. Judging a book by its cover… I guess it can’t be helped and everyone does that at some point.’’

You shrugged, you didn’t really know what to say to that. It was true, as you judged Eddie yourself, for who he was. You felt bad, as you realized you too can’t help it sometimes. ‘’Nice shirt ! By the way, you made it look very metal ! I apologize I ruined it.’’ He said, looking a bit nervous and shy.

‘’Thanks, I made it myself and huh… It’s ok it’s just water. I like… Your vest. Did you sew the Dio shirt yourself ?’’ You asked, curious. That made him laugh in silence. For a second, his smile made you feel a bit strange. It was cute.

‘’Well, I didn’t sew it, I actually glue it. And ripped the armes off. Looks cool huh ?’’ He said, looking very proud of himself. You also could see some pins on his vest. Iron Maiden, W.A.S.P, all those groups you listen to from time to time.

‘’Yeah !’’ Then there was this awkward silence between you two. Only the loud crowd was breaking it.

Then, saved by the bell, the whole crowd started to scream and shout, as the band that was to play tonight came on stage. You smiled and tried to look, as the crowd started to push you forward, in chances to get closer to their favorite singers and musicians. At that moment, you turned to see if Eddie followed you, but the crowd just, made him disappear.

——

Tonight was a total blast. Your throat hurt because you sang and screamed so loudly. You jumped, you danced, your head banged along the beat of the music. The heat of the moment didn’t stop you and made you feel so free. You never felt so good in your life, nobody gave a shit about you, about your sexuality, about your clothes, about your dreams, about your whole life. There was only you and the music that drummed into your whole body, making you wish it would never end.

But the show took an end. It was now dark, it was night, and people started to walk away. You made your way to the bar to grab yourself a cup of water and tiredly made your way to the waking lot. There, before you could take your car and go, you just took your cigarette out and got ready to smoke.

And there’s always a but. Your lighter was out. It just didn’t work every time you tried to light it. You sighed and looked around for other smokers that might have a light. You thought of abandoning your search for the light as you saw Eddie next to his van. He was clearly smoking something else then a cigarette. You thought you wouldn’t ask him, it was to awkward to come up at him and ask just like this. But it was probably the only face that would be nice to you. So you made your way to him, preparing yourself mentally for speaking up.

‘’Hey, Eddie. Do you have some fire ?’’ You asked, showing your cigarette to hime.

‘’And you smoke ?’’ Was the first thing he said, putting his hand in his back pocket then retrieving his lighter. He light it and hand it to you, you leaned in and here you were, for some reason, lighting your cigarette, looking right at him while he was looking right at you. You felt hotter now than you did before. Why did it make you feel some type of way ? God after this long night it just felt so good to just feel the breeze and smoke something that would calm you down. You sighed a second.

‘’Thanks Eds.’’ You said with a small smile. He get his lighter back to its initial place then nods.

‘’Pleasure to help.’’ Then again, this silence. This heavy silence. You couldn’t take so much silence after this loud show, so you just asked.

‘’Did you like the show ?’’ You said, smoke coming out of your mouth.

‘’Hell yeah I did ! My neck hurt so much !’’ He said in a laugh.

‘’Yeah, same. Never felt so… Free in my entire life. Can’t really find a way to explain it.’’ You said, without really thinking of what you just said.

‘’Really ? Was it your first ?’’ He asked sucking on his joint.

‘’Yeah… I mean, first time at a metal show. Don’t think the Christmas Choir show count as one.’’ You said, making Eddie laugh.

You finished your cigarette and was ready to go, but Eddie hand you over his joint.

‘’Want some ?’’ He proposed. You never tried it before, but weren’t scared to do so. So you took the joint between your fingers and took a puff. The unknown substance made you cough a little.

‘’Shit, the fuck.’’ You said, giving it back to him. He looked right at you, small smile on the side. Then, you realized that you are sharing it with him, as he slowly put the end of the joint between his two lips. You find yourself looking at his mouth, but look away, at your feet, fast so you don’t get caught. You hear him snort.

‘’Who knew Y/F/N liked metal and enjoys smoking.’’

‘’Everyone smoke.’’

‘’No… But. I have a question.’’ He said, leaning on his van and looking at his shoes. The way he was standing made you feel weird. He looked, hot.

‘’Ask away.’’ You said, holding a hand to your hip, waiting for the worst.

‘’Why are you hiding yourself ?’’ He asked, making you go silent. You didn’t really wanted to respond to that. ‘’I mean. At first, at school I really thought you were some… random student who study so much you never go out.’’ He added.

‘’Thats, kinda true honestly. But… I don’t know, I don’t feel the urge to make myself some friends and to go out with them. Do the world really need to know about me ? Can’t I have a peaceful life without… People judging me and the way I look or judging the things I like?’’ You said shrugging.

‘’No, indeed… You know you’re right.’’ He said, nodding. ‘’I guess it depends on the person. If someone is thrust worthy or not. Like, I open up a lot to my friends and my uncle. I guess some things are meant to be kept for myself, but, people get to know me and appreciate me the way I am. And if I open up to that damn Jason Carver… Well, you know what would happen. He would probably chase me down with a baseball bat.’’ He said in a snort.

‘’You don’t open up to your parents ?’’ You asked, curious as why he only mentioned his uncle.

‘’Curious are you ? I see. Mmh nah, my old man is not… Really kind, if I might say.’’ You nodded, looking at your shoes, crossing your arms over your chest.

‘’Sorry… Didn’t mean to…’’

‘’Nah it’s ok ! What about you ? Do you open up to your parents ?’’ He asked, as curious as you. You felt heavy on your shoulders, you didn’t like to talk about family. So you kept silent, and closed yourself up, again. ‘’Sorry… Huh. Wrong question.’’ He said, with a soft voice and playing nervously with his hair.

But you didn’t speak at that either, you just nodded, slowly. Seeing you like this, Eddie throws his joint to the floor and step on it to put it out. Then he walks toward you. ‘’You don’t have to open up to me. It’s not something I should force you to do. If someone ever forces you to open up, it’s… Nasty stuff. But know that I was happy to know more about the ever brilliant Y/N. It was fun talking to you.’’ He said, putting a hand on your shoulder for a short moment. Seeing you didn’t respond yet, he got worried even more.

‘’No for real you alright ? It’s not my joint I hope. I swear it’s just weed, nothing else. Need a ride home ?’’

That made you smile a little. You said, shaking your head. ‘’No ! It’s not your fault. I’m just… Thinking too much, that’s all!.’’

‘’Oh ! Then… Think less ! It’ll worry me.’’ It made you laugh a little, making him smile back at you. ‘’There you go ! Beautiful smile !’’

You looked at him for a moment. I could you ever think Eddie was the worst person of all Hawkins ? He was so kind, and innocent. His eyes sincere and caring. Maybe he was loud, but goofy and friendly. That made you feel… Like every time you used to look at Steve. You felt at ease, to finally talk about yourself, without heavy judgment.

‘’My dad thinks… I dress weird.’’ You finally said, in a sigh. ‘’He think I’m weird. That I talk weird. That I deserve… Therapy. For who I am. And what stops the world for thinking the same as him ? Nothing… Sometimes it gets violent. And my mom don’t do much. She always says to listen to my dad, as I’m the second man of the house…’’

‘’You know what I would do if I were you ?’’ He said, smile growing on his face. You shook your head, scared of what he might say about your confession. He then shows you his middle finger. At first you thought it was toward you, but his eyes were reassuring. ‘’I’de flip ‘em the bird, and stay the same way I am right now. If nothing stop them from being stupid asses, then nothing should stop us from being fucking great people. You hear me ? Nothing should stop you from being who you truly are.’’

You stayed silent, you both looked at each others eyes, and you smiled at him. ‘’Thanks’’ you murmured softly.

‘’And… If your dad is… If anyone gets violent toward you… Just… Tell me.’’ He said, getting a bit closer to you. Without thinking, you bit your lip, your cheeks feeling hot.

‘’Hu… Hum sure. I mean, in hopes you get to have a nice civilized chit chat with them.’’ It made him smile and snort.

‘’Yah. Imma try my best to send them my best regards.’’

It was pretty late now, it was passed midnight when you looked at your watch. You started to feel your heartbeat raise. The way he was looking at you felt so, personal and intimate. And yet, it was a look no one gave you before. You slowly started to back away from him, your hand scratching the back of your head, feeling your clumsiness and shy side surface.

‘’I need to go home. It’s getting late and it’s a school night… I mean, day. We have school tomorrow. I mean, today, it’s already past midnight. Haha.’’ He snorted at you.

‘’That’s what you’re most worried right now ?’’ He asked looking at you slowly taking your way to your car.

‘’I mean… Kinda. I… Really gotta go !’’

‘’Maybe you could come and sit with me tomorrow, at lunch. I don’t mind your presence. You’re pretty cool !’’ He said in a soft voice.

‘’Yeah ! Will do !… Huh.’’ You smiled at him and waved your hand at him. ‘’Tomorrow then.’’ You said turning and leaving to your own car.

‘’See you pretty boy !’’ He said, biting his lower lip.

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

It was night, you just closed the parlor and went your way. Robin and Steve were following you a few feet behind, just to make sure it’s not a creepy guy who would harasse you in the parking lot. But Eddie Munson was standing there, at the parking lot, his back against his van. He seemed to be looking around, nervous. His hair, that was earlier tied into a low bun, was now untied and falling over his shoulders. He was smoking a cigarette. You really thought he was hot, there, in the dark of the parking lot, the street lamp light coming down on him.

You stopped yourself a bit far from him, out of his sight. You turned to look behind you, and both of your coworkers were hiding behind a car, looking at you. You were tired and still had your uniform on. You felt ashamed to approach him wearing… This kinda crap. But Steve was giving you the thumbs up to go on and meet him.

‘’Oh hey Y/N!’’ Eddie Munson called you, throwing his cigarette to the concrete floor and stepping on it. You looked at him, he had his huge smile on and yet again felt your cheeks flush with heat. You approached slowly, looking away from him, scared to look into his eyes. ‘’Hey’’ you simply said, not really knowing what to say.

‘’So…’’ He laughed a little approaching you, putting his hands on his hips. ‘’You did came ! That’s great !’’

‘’Yeah.’’ You really didn’t know what to say and you were scared to talk and show off your emotions. So you just, stood there, looking at the concrete and the awkward silence taking in the space between you two.

Eddie approached you a bit more and leaned in front of you, so your eyes could meet. He smiled at you. ‘’Why so shy ?’’ He asked.

‘’What ?’’ You said, trying to look away again, but every time your eyes were looking at something different, Eddie was jumping into your view, with his big smile. For some reason, that made you laugh. So your last option was to hide your face. ‘’No ! Don’t hide ! Did you know your eyes are beautiful ? No joke.’’ He said taking your hands in his and getting them away from your face. He was now holding your hands. His hands weren’t very soft, they were a bit rough at the touch. Probably because he played a lot of guitar, or did hard work, or something like that. Holding his hands felt like a lightning bolt rushing through your veins, it made you hold your breath. You decided to look right into his eyes.

‘’I wish I’d have something else to wear.’’ Was the first thing you said, but then quickly added. ‘’I mean, I worked all day, it smells like ice cream and I’m kinda feeling shitty right now because of the smell, it stinks ice cream. And you know working for hours with ice cream, you just wanna get changed and all, I mean… Huh.’’ You were talking so fast. You were nervous and it showed. ‘’Sorry’’ you added in a sigh as you decided to part your hands from his.

‘’It’s ok. I get it I guess. Well not really but anyways. Maybe you should go home.’’ He said, playing with his hair. For a second you just stood there in silence, nodding your head.

‘’I guess so. Then hum…’’ You paused, didn’t know what to do. ‘’Then, see you next time.’’ You turned, ready to leave.

But Eddie looked at you surprised. He took your hand again, so you could stay. ‘’Where are you going ? I could give you a ride home maybe ? Well… It’s up to you of course but, isn’t it a bit scary to walk all the way home alone in the dark? My old man never really thought me how to be a gentlemen, but I know how to be polite at least.’’

You felt your knees weak. Eddie ‘’The Freak’’ Munson wanted to give you a ride home. You took a second to actually think about it. Of course you wanted to say yes, but staying next to him for a few minutes would leave you unable to speak, or breath, probably. But, it was now or never. You took your courage in your hands and smiled at him.

‘’Yes, sure… Hum… Thank you.’’ You said as he let go of your hand. He smiled and nodded, turning and going to his van to open you the passenger seat’s door. Politely, like a gentlemen, he bowed and showed you the seat. Before jumping in, you looked in Robin and Steve’s direction, they were all smiling and giving you too many thumbs up. So you did enter the van.

Eddie closed the car’s door behind you and you attached your seat belt. He then went to his driver’s seat and started the engine. Loud music started to pour out the car’s radio. A bit too loud, the second after he started the car, Eddie turned the volume down for you. Jesus. It smelled so much like him. It smelled a bit of weed too, but you didn’t mind. As he drove away from Starcourt Mall, he then asked you were you lived and the trajectory. You responded as your curiosity piked when you saw some music tapes thrown a bit everywhere in the car. One was on the floor at your feet, so you took it and looked at the title.

‘’Holy Diver… Dio’’ You murmured, more to yourself. You guessed it was heavy metal, it would be more surprising to find a cassette of Madonna around here, really.

‘’Oh, it’s metal, you probably don’t know much about it.’’ Tried to guess Eddie, turning his eyes to you for a sec. You smiled a little. ‘’Well, it depends. I don’t know every metal groups of all times. I do know a couple, probably the more obvious ones, like Metallica or Black Sabbath. I like it but I wouldn’t listen to it every day.’’ You said, more comfortable as music always was a subject you loved talking about.

‘’Really huh ! Oh right ! You told me you wanted to be a radio host once.’’ He said, his eyes on the road, snapping his fingers as he remembered. You stopped to breath for a second. He remembered what you said to him ? Instead of responding to him, you just tried to concentrate on the cassette in your hands. But your thoughts were going back and fort in your mind so fast, it made you whisper.

‘’You remembered.’’

‘’I did.’’ He said, in the same tone, but a bit louder than you. You looked at him, he was biting his lower lip, eyes still on the road, drumming his fingers nervously on the steering wheel. ‘’I also remember you humming Edge of Seventeen when you tried to focus on the work.’’ He added in a chuckle, looking at you for a brief moment. He stopped at a house, looking at the number. The lights were out and no car was parked at the front. This meant your parents were out. ‘’And I think we’re here ! It’s your house right ?’’

You were a bit surprised, you didn’t really remember humming one of your favorite songs during that homework session with Eddie. But you knew he wasn’t wrong. Humming a song during work was a habit. You only forced yourself not to hum when you were at the library or during an exam. But humming always helped you focus on work.

‘’Wait what ?’’ You asked turning yourself to Eddie, smiling a little. ‘’How did you know it was Edge of Seventeen ?’’

He snorts at you for a second and responded ‘’Common baby, I know I love Metal, but I’m not that uncultured.’’

‘’Baby ?’’ You asked looking right into his eyes, surprised. Now, it was his turn to be shy, and it was your turn to smile. His face became a bit red and he shook his head, like he betrayed himself and couldn’t believe it.

‘’Yeah ! I never said that. You never herd me. It was… The wind!’’ That made you laugh out loud. Eddie was looking at you, smiling, admiring you and your beautiful smile. He also looked at your hands realizing you were still holding onto that Dio cassette. ‘’You know, you can keep it.’’

You stopped laughing and looked at the cassette. It was obvious he was talking about it. ‘’Keep it? I don’t think so, I might borrow it.’’

‘’I still could buy myself a new one, you know.’’

‘’But borrowing it gives me a reason to come and see you again.’’ You said, with your shy smile growing a little. You couldn’t believe what you just said. It really came out of your mouth. Eddie opened his mouth in a big ‘’O’’ shape and chuckled. He seemed surprised. It was unusual from you to say things like this. It amused him.

‘’Flirting are we !’’ He said, teasing. Then he nodded. ‘’Okay, then, you can borrow it. But know that I have many many records and tapes you can borrow, whenever. Just let me know.’’ There it is, he tilted his head on the side and looked at you with some sort of puppy eyes. That was just adorable.

‘’Actually, I have an idea.’’ You said, looking at the tape of Dio. ‘’Why not, I borrow from you…’’ Your look went back up to Eddie’s. ‘’And you borrow one of my tapes. I have a shit load of music tapes at home. Just come inside and choose one!’’

Eddie looked at you in silence, mouth opened, his tongue a little bit out. He scratched his chin with his finger and seemed to think. ‘’Well, I’m not sure your parents will be happy to see a ‘’Freak’’ with their sweet little angle child in their home.’’

‘’Eddie, they’re clearly not here. And you’re not a freak.’’ You said. He still took a moment to think. ‘’And that’s huh… An invitation I imagine ?’’ You nodded, your heart beating so fast. You couldn’t believe it, all your fears going away, getting better at this, smiling, taking over the conversation, things you usually didn’t do. You were still as shy but, you managed to talk to Eddie and, even flirt with him. For some reason, Eddie made you feel comfortable. ‘’Well, I guess I could choose one or two.’’ He finally agreed.

—

‘’You can look around for a tape, I’m just gonna get changed.’’ You said as you opened your bedroom door, letting Eddie enter after you. Your heart was racing you almost thought you were about to have a cardiac arrest. Eddie was in your room. In your room. In. Your. Room. For a minute you couldn’t think of what to do.

You forgot to clean your bedroom earlier in the day. There were clothes hanging around, a bit everywhere, but not much honestly. Your bed was messy too. You were suddenly very aware of the bra that was on your bedside table. You just came to your bed very fast to hide it in your laundry basket. But Eddie was looking around and didn’t see you in action. You had a bookshelf corner, filled with music tapes instead of books. On the floor, there were the books that were supposed to go on your bookshelves. You had a desk filled with paper and pens and, of course your walkman laying there was ready for you to come back and listen to another tape. You went for your dresser and picked up some clean clothes to change into. When you turned, Eddie was looking at your music tapes. ‘’Be right back. You can stay here.’’ You said as you left your bedroom so fast in direction of your bathroom. Once in the bathroom, you looked at yourself in the mirror, trying to slowly breath so you don’t panic over the fact that Eddie ‘’SEXY’’ Munson was in your bedroom. You changed yourself in some comfortable pajamas and went back into your bedroom. You started to clean up a little, shy about him seeing all your clothes and some junk thrown a bit everywhere in your room.

‘’You don’t have to clean up, yah know. My trailer is way worse than your bedroom.’’ He said in a small laugh, looking at a tape he took in his hands. ‘’You do have an insane amount of tapes.’’

‘’What can I say, music is my passion.’’ You said, putting your clothes in your laundry basket. He turned to you for a second, with a shy smile on.

‘’Then, maybe you could offer me some advise.’’ He said, putting back your Stevie Nicks tape at its right place. You saw his hand fall into his back pockets. You just looked at him for a moment, the same way as you did earlier at Scoops Ahoy. He was standing there, looking at your bookshelf and waiting on your advise. Beautiful in the dim light of your bedroom. You woke a little from your daydream and went to the bookshelf and searched for a tape.

‘’I guess you don’t like pop music.’’

‘’Not my music of choice indeed. I don’t like it when it’s too catchy.’’

So you looked at the more rock/punk and blues genres you had in your collection. You had albums from the 60s, 70s and early 80s.

‘’Mhh.. Maybe The Gun Club or The Fans. Or even The Clash maybe. It’s difficult to find something you might like and still not know. You seem to already listen to rock music a lot.’’ You heard a cute snort and continued to look around.

‘’Actually not that much. Well, pop rock especially. Maybe from time to time I hear songs on the radio, but I listen to a lot of metal music and really hard rock songs, so… Yeah. Don’t know much more about all the different rock genres.’’

‘’Have you listened to Queen before ?’’ You asked, taking the tape A Night At The Opera from Queen. ‘’I mean, yeah of course. I know more of their really early songs that shaped trash metal music, up until Stone Cold Crazy, but I never really looked more into this group…’’ He shrugged, tilting his head on one side and crossing his arms over his chest. His look fell at his shoes. ‘’So you never heard Bohemian Rhapsody, the most rock ’n’ roll song of all time.’’

‘’Bohow what ?’’ He said, his head back up looking at you. That made you laugh so hard. You shook your head and went to your stereo. You couldn’t believe it. Eddie Munson was listening to so much metal music that he was missing out the other good stuff ?

‘’So you’re telling me that you know Stevie Nicks… But missed out on Queen ? I can’t believe you don’t even know Bohemian Rhapsody! You never heard of it? It’s the most known rock song of all time ! And you told me you were cultured!’’ He shook his head as you continued to add more comments about your favorite song, and the fact that he didn’t know about it.

‘’I told you pop rock is just not made for me. I barely know Queen.’’ He said in a snort.

You put the tape in your stereo and started to skip the first songs of the album until Bohemian Rhapsody started to play. The first words started to pour out of your stereo, forming a beautiful melody that you knew too much, and still loved till this day:

Is this the real life ? Is this just fantasy ?

Caught in a landslide…

’’This song, mister metalhead, is the best song of all time, it is not just pop rock, it’s hard rock, alternative, whatever the fuck you want it to be, even opera, and more different styles too! All at the same time ! It shaped the next years of rock and I believe a part of metal too.’’

That took him off guard. He just listened to the song, looking right at you, smiling a little and nodding his head. Aside Edge of Seventeen, Bohemian Rhapsody was your favorite song. Freddie Mercury’s voice rang into your ears, and you started to move your lips at the same time. Smiling and whispering the words, so Eddie could hear the song instead of hearing you scream out the lyrics out of your lungs. You really forced yourself not to scream the words.

He found his way to your desk’s chair and sat, just the time to listen to it. He seemed focused. And you found your way to your bed. Heads in the clouds, daydreaming yet again. You remembered watching the music video on your tv, just once, and it opened you a door to so many different songs and music genres. You always dreamed to meet the band, you had so many questions in mind, so many things to say to Queen. It’s because of Bohemian Rhapsody that you started listening to other artists, to rock and metal and grunge and punk.

‘’Shit, it’s like listening 4 different songs.’’ He said, his eyes still on the stereo and head banging a little as the hard rock part came in.

You finally started to sing out loud, your favorite part coming on. ‘’So you think you could stone me and spit in my eye ! So you think you can love me and leave me to die?! Ooooh bab…’’

But then, right before you could continue, you heard the front door of your house open, steps coming in. ‘’Y/N ! We’re home ! Oh honey she’s again blasting the house down with her darn music. Y/N ? Y/N ! Low the volume down !’’ You heard your mom call.

You jumped out of your bed, surprised. You went straight to your stereo and stopped the music. ‘’Shit.’’ You let out in a whisper as you took the tape out with shaky hands. Eddie stood up and looked at you, trying to figure out what to do as your parents came home. ‘’Huh’’ You put the in its box and approached Eddie to give it to him. ‘’The window !’’

‘’Wait you’re throwing me out the window ?’’ He whispered, surprised as you pushed him toward your bedroom window. Your bedroom was on the first floor so it wasn’t dangerous for him to jump out and go safely to his van. ‘’No choice, if my parents see you…’’ ‘’I told you that !’’ He whispered anxiously as you opened your window. He jumped out, but before going, he turned to you. His two hands were gripping yours. ‘’I didn’t say that in an angry way. Don’t feel bad about the shit I say sometimes. Please’’ You snort and look right at him.

‘’I’m still working tomorrow. Maybe you could come by...’’

He leaned in and softly kissed your lips. You didn’t respond, because you didn’t know what to do. You did have your first kiss before this one, but right now, you just couldn’t believe he was kissing you right there, out of the blue. He took a step back and put his hand on his mouth. ‘’Sorry! I hope it wasn’t your first or something I huh… I just… It’s just…’’ His voice was shaking a bit and you could feel his nervousness. He seemed very different than earlier at the ice cream parlor.

‘’Y/N ? Are you in there ? Can I come in ?’’ Your mom said while opening the door. ‘’Mom I’m changing !’’ You screamed so loud, Eddie was trying his best not to laugh. At least, your mom didn’t enter and closed the door shut.

‘’Oop ! Sorry darling. Take your time !’’

‘’I liked it.’’ You whispered, biting your lips, your heart beating so fast, and now it was your turn. You leaned and left a soft peck on the tip of his lips. ‘’But now go before my dad throws a shoe at you !’’ You whispered in a laugh, your heart beating so hard you swore Eddie could hear it too. Eddie didn’t say bye, he just smiled, putting a hand in his hair and walking backwards while looking at you. He practically fell on his way to his van, because he was too dumbstruck by you, and wasn’t looking where his feet were landing.

Once Eddie was gone, you turned to your door, a huge smile on.

‘’I’m done changing !’’

Part 2 ________

It was summer time, but, as expected, your parent’s didn’t want you to sit in your bedroom all day, all summer and do nothing but listen to music and read magazines. At first, you said to yourself that you would go out from time to time with some friends. But all of them had family activities or went away on vacation. Things that would only leave you and yourself all alone for the rest of the summer. So you just decided to earn money by applying to Scoops Ahoy, in order to buy yourself more music cassettes.

You loved music. All kinds, pop, rock, punk, classical, even metal. You had an insane music collection back at home, a mix of cassettes you’ve bought yourself or received as presents. One thing was for sure, you always wanted to be a radio host. You loved sharing music, and talk about all those artists that just debuted and broke into the music industry. It was a passion. But, aside your best friends, not many people knew about that.

There was also Edward Munson who knew that, even if he might have forgotten by now. At school, you two were in the same english class. Back then, the teacher gave a project to do in groups of two. Since none of your friends were in the same class, you were left all alone, and so was Eddie. So, of course the teacher decided to put the two of you together. When he first spoke to you, you felt strange. His eyes, his smile, the way he would play with his hair, all of this would make you feel… Some type of way. He was kind to you, but he didn’t seem interested in the project, neither did he seem interested in you, even when you told him a bit about yourself. You never told your friends about this little crush you developed for him. And, secretly, you found yourself looking at him across the cafeteria during lunch time, always sitting with his friend at his table and you with yours.

You never had the courage to go talk to him, and neither did he ever went to talk to you again. Summer came and you didn’t get to see him. You were working at the ice cream parlor, with Steve ‘’The Hair’’ Harrington and Robin, nothing else. You didn’t go out as much, since working got you a bit tired and there wasn’t much to do after closed hours. You worked for long hours, scooping ice cream for kids and dealing with bad customers. And how could you forget Miss Sinclair, always ringing that bell to try every flavors of ice cream, twice, almost everyday. You at least became good friends with Steve and Robin. They were kind to you and when you had time at the shop you guys would joke around a little bit. It made your days a little bit better.

And today came. A very long day at Starcourt Mall. You had to close the store, and deal with customers again. When you arrived at the ice cream parlor, Robin and Steve were already there, dealing with various customers. You had your famous uniform on, and had to put the hat too. You went in the back store to get yourself prepared and then proceeded to start your work. As Steve and Robin were handling the clients, you started to do a store check up, and the usual cleaning stuff you had to do.

‘’Oh hey Y/N, didn’t see you come in ! How are you ?’’ Asked Robin as she turned to you when she finished with her clients. She smiled at you, but you could see how tired she already was. At first it seamed to be her makeup, but then you saw that her eyes were puffier than usual.

‘’Hey, I’m doing fine, but you seem tired, are you ok ?’’ You asked and Steve turned to the two of you.

‘’Hi Y/N’’ He said simply, letting Robin respond to your question.

‘’Yeah, well tired as usual, didn’t get to sleep much.’’ She said in a sigh. You nodded and turned to Steve.

‘’Hi Steve, hope you’re doing fine’’ You said with a shy smile and he only nodded back to you. Robin laughed a little, pointing at you the white board she left on the side.

‘’Dingus still tried to flirt with some girl. Wanna guess what happened ?’’ Robin asked to you in a little laugh. You shrugged and looked at Steve, who was clearly embarrassed but tried to hide it the best he could.

‘’Please Robin, stop with that. You clearly know its the hat !’’ He said, and there it goes, both of them were talking and arguing.

You laughed a little a them, but then your gaze turned to the outside of the parlor, where you could see a part of the mall. People were walking from everywhere, gathering, talking to one another. They all seemed happy to just spend some time around here. But, to your surprise, not far away, you could see a head you just knew so well. His hair was tied in a low bun, and replacing his usual Hellfire Club shirt, he was now wearing a metal group T-shirt, with his usual jeans and handkerchief in his back pocket. Your eyes stoped for a sec at his butt, the jeans fitted Eddie so well. You realized he was laughing, talking to his group friend, and walking away from the parlor. Your eyes followed him. You found yourself biting your lower lip as you dreamed a bit. How would it feel to just come up to him, hug him, smile at him, talk to him. You felt your heart flutter for a sec. Just the fact that he was in the same mall as you made you feel sick, love sick. And your expression on your face, your stillness, got the attention of both Steve and Robin.

‘’Y/N, you ok there ?’’ Asked Steve, resting his hand on your shoulder. You woke up from your slight daydreaming and turned to your coworkers. ‘’Oh ! Yeah absolutely ! Why ?’’ But Robin didn’t believe a single thing of what you said. You cheeks felt hot, and your voice felt softer than usual.

‘’Steve, I think we have a case here.’’ Robin said, suddenly smiling. She cracked you. She just knew. And Steve ‘’Fucking Hair’’ Harrington was smiling from ear to ear as he knew too. ‘’So ! Tell us Y/N, who is the lucky number ?’’ Asked Steve, winking at you, teasing you obviously.

You immediately hid your face in your hands, sighing and letting out a little sound of despair. Nobody have to know, they don’t have to know ! It’s personal ! You didn’t have to say it ! But, this feeling in your chest, of keeping it for yourself, you needed it out ! It was suddenly tempting ! To just say his name. But Eddie Munson had a reputation, what would they think ? You’re some kind of girl who crushed on bad boys during her rebel phase ? No, you didn’t have a phase, you didn’t have a crush on a bad boy, you have a crush on Edward Munson. ‘’If I say so, you guys are going to laugh at me’’ You said, a little ashamed of yourself. Robin smiled at you and gave you a comforting hug. ‘’You don’t have to be ashamed Y/N. At least if it’s not Keith from the video store… Please don’t tell me its Keith.’’ Mumbled Steve.

‘’No ! It’s not Keith at all… It’s…’’ But you stopped. You were scared to say his name, and be laughed at for your dumb, young love sick feelings. Even if Robin was comforting you. And Steve really seemed to root for you and your crush. ‘’I mean, everyone thinks he’s…’’ You stopped again and looked around making sure that Eddie wasn’t near from you. ‘’Everyone thinks he’s a freak… But he’s kind and, nice looking ! I mean. He’s hot no doubt… But, you guys will probably think I’m stupid to have the hots for him.’’

‘’If you say Billy…’’ Steve started but you cut him off.

‘’No ! Not Billy, he’s a duche. I mean… Not to be mean and all… Is just… It’s…’’ You looked again, making sure nobody else would hear you. ‘’I like Eddie Munson.’’

The look on their face made you immediately feel bad. Well, until Robin came to give you a big hug. They were both surprised since they never actually saw you talk to him. And also surprised to now know he was the type you liked. You hid again your face as you felt your cheeks get even hotter. You held this urge to just run into the freezer and barricade yourself in it.

‘’Really ?’’ Asked Steve, tilting his head on the side. But Robin punched him in the shoulder to shut him off. ‘’Ow ! What that for !’’

‘’It’s ok Y/N ! You don’t have to be ashamed, you have the right to love whoever you want ! Steve and me, we are just a little bit confused, and surprised. I mean, where does that come from ?’’ She asked you. But as you were about to respond, you heard the famous Scoops Ahoy bell ring.

‘’Talking gossip while at work, I see.’’ This voice was too familiar. You didn’t want to turn, and yet, you found yourself looking right at Eddie. He was there, his arms crossed on the counter, leaning forward and looking at you with a big smile on. Jesus H, he was hot just standing like that. His tied hair, with some strands falling on the sides of his face. You heart just couldn’t stop beating and for quite a while you thought everyone was hearing it. Robin silently pushed you toward the cash register and pulled Steve to the back store. ‘’Oh ! Hey Eddie, long time no see !’’ You said, with a shaky voice. You approached him slowly at the cash register, pulling your most beautiful… Working smile. ‘’What can I serve you today ?’’

Eddie looked at you for a moment, then glanced behind him. His friends were all sitting at a table, talking, like usual. He then looked back at you, slightly tilting his head on the side.

‘’Yeah, long time no see. Hum…’’ He paused for a second and looked at his hands, playing a little with his silver rings. His tongue was slightly out, as if he was thinking before talking. It made you feel weak to the knees. ‘’Tell me, what’s your favorite flavor ?’’ He asked you, and you just took a moment to finally respond to him, in a little shaky voice you were trying to hold so much.

‘’I’d say strawberry. It’s so good.’’ You said, forcing yourself to look at him in the eyes.

‘’Can I try some ?’’ He asked kindly, still leaned forward. You nodded and took a small spoon, scooping a small amount of your favorite flavored ice cream. You tried your best not to shake. You handed him the small spoon, but instead of taking it in his hand, he slowly leaned a bit more toward you and straight up put the small spoon in his mouth. And he was looking right at you. After a moment, you just let go of the spoon nervously, looking away from his gaze. You felt as if he was trying something on you. He laughed a little and turned to look at his friends. ’’I don’t actually know what these guys want. So hum… Maybe something we could all share together. I don’t know… Surprise me Y/N.’’

He remembered your name, that made you smile a little more, shyly. You hid a little your hands, feeling the tip of your fingers shake a little after this event. Your heart just couldn’t stop pounding in your chest. And you were trying your best to breath normally.

‘’Banana boats are great to share with friends.’’ You said, trying to hold your shaking voice even more.

He smiled at you and turned to his friend. ‘’Guys, banana boat, sounds good ?’’ He asked and they all agreed.

You nodded and turned to start the Banana boat, but right there, at the window, your two friendly coworkers were smiling from ear to ear, spying on you. Steve was eating a banana, as if he would eat popcorn at a movie theater, his eyes wide open on the two of you ready to see what the next step it’s gonna be. You loosed your smile a second, pretended they didn’t exist, then started your boat. You then remembered your uniform. You thought you must be the ugliest right now, working in front of your crush in a blue sailor uniform. You felt ashamed. As you scooped the ice cream, you felt Eddie’s eyes looking right at you. It wasn’t the most perfect banana boat, maybe the ugliest you made, but still delicious. You were so nervous in front of him. Then you came to give it to him. ‘’I’m sorry, maybe I should make another one instead, I messed it up a little.’’ You said to Eddie, showing the young metalhead the boat you just made.

‘’It’s fine Y/N. It’s still going to taste great. How much ?’’ He asked.

‘’2.90$… Huh, you sure you don’t want me to make another ?’’ You asked as he paid.

‘’How caring. Thank you, sweetheart, you deserve a tip.’’ At this you just completely froze, looking at him and feeling your face hotter by the time. ‘’You… You really don’t have to Eddie !’’ But he only winked at you while giving yo some crumpled cash in your hand. Then he turned, going to his table.

You awkwardly stood there, with the money in your hands. You then decided to move, and put the money at its righteous place, the tip jar. You then turned at the window who was now closed, and decided to go hide in the back store. When the door closed behind you, you almost let yourself drift away, you almost screamed and started to cry, but you hold everything up. You were ashamed, you could’ve done something better ! And your uniform ! It was so ugly !

‘’He called you sweetheart !’’ Murmured Robin, super excited by this encounter. But you just sat at the table in silence. Both your friends started to worry.

‘’He probably just said that because he thinks it’s funny, or something like that.’’ You said, slumping on the table, hiding your face in your arms. ‘’With the look on his face, Oh my Jesus I swear he’s in love Y/N.’’ Said Robin, in a small chuckle. Your eyes slowly looked up at her.

‘’Wait, really ?’’ And she nodded, eyes wide open, huge smile on her face. Steve, next to her, still eating that banana, was nodding too.

‘’Can I just say that Eddie is better at flirting than Steve.’’ She said in a laugh, and Steve’s head turned to Robin, yet again disappointed in her comments. ‘’I mean he literally ate ice cream out of the spoon YOU, my dear, were holding ! That’s hot !’’ The bell rang again and Steve decided to go instead of you. He knew that you weren’t in a stable emotional situation to deal with clients right now, and he was tired to hear Robin make comments about his flirting skills. ‘’When you were making that boat, he was playing with his hair, and he was biting his lips while looking at you. Clearly, that’s a sign that the feeling is mutual.’’ Robin said.

‘’I don’t believe you, have you seen our uniform ? It’s ugly ! Who would be drooling over that kinda crap !’’ You shook your head, not believing a single thing of what just happened. You got up ready to go back and face the world again.

‘’Let’s talk about it another day, it’s almost giving me a headache.’’ You said, as you pushed the door for the front store. You then met Erica and her besties, all there to ’try out’’ the ice cream again. Steve was standing there, waiting for that awful time to pass. You looked passed the counter to see that Eddie’s table was now left with a banana split emptied bowl. Yet again, you felt disappointed.

— 🍦A H O Y 🍦—

It was finally closing hours, you guys were exhausted by that long day. The smell of ice cream started to make you feel a bit nauseous, and you just wanted to finally get away from this hell of a parlor faster than you came in. Robin was counting the cash and Steve was cleaning the floor with the mop. You were cleaning the rest of the store. Then ready to go, you guys counted the tip jar, looking at all the cash you made for yourselves. Steve looked at one of the tips and chuckled a little.

‘’Funny, someone wrote something on this’’ He said showing it to the both of you. Robin gasped a second, and then in your turn, you gasped as you read on the crumpled dollar:

I’ll wait for you in the parking lot. - EM

‘’That’s actually creepy’’ said Robin in a laugh. ‘’What ?’’ Asked Steve, not understanding. Then he read it again. And he gasped too, making a surprised expression. ‘’Y/N ! I think you have a date !’’

‘’No way…’’
