Nobody ever saw you, Y/N Wheeler ever falling for someone like Eddie Munson

He was this freak who everyone seemed to fear and you were the perfect girl, following all the rules.

You were on the cheerleading team and despite your dislike for most of them, you were friends with one.

Chrissy Cunningham.

Despite her dating the captain of the basketball team and being this scary mean girl to everyone else, they were all wrong.

All she wanted was to live a peaceful life, she didn't even like cheerleading, her mum made her do it.

You didn't like cheerleading all that much either but you weren't great at playing any instruments so you wanted to help out by being a cheerleader.

You're also good friends with Robin - that's why you joined cheerleading, because she was in band - and when you weren't there you worked at the film store with her and Steve.

Being part of the Wheeler family was tough because of the high expectations from your parents and the way people always looked at your family but the trauma was the hardest.

Since you were close with your younger brother, you had gone through the whole upside down ordeal with him and the others.

Some nights you'd wake up in a cold sweat, eyes wide as you looked around, reaching for one of the many guns you opened - this one happened to be hidden under your floorboard.

You liked your twin sister and everything but you'd always clashed with ideas but despite all that you did care for her.

The first time you noticed Eddie Munson was in the talent show when your best friend Chrissy had pointed out the band.

She loved the heavy metal music that he was playing despite her parents' more neutral taste and they became slight friends. She never did fit in with the buzzed hair cut style of Eddie Munson and in high school the two stopped talking.

The freak and the cheerleader would never work out.

Then you remembered him as the boy who didn't graduate in 1984.

And then 1985.

So at that point you were in the same year as him despite him being a fully grown twenty year old man and you just an eighteen year old with no clue what you wanted to do in life.

And God did you think he was hot.

Like come on, the guy was ultra sexy to you and your best friend had realised this. Maybe it was the bad boy persona that drew you in but you were instantly attracted to him.

Sure, he had seen you around and thought you were cute in your preppy skirts and flower white shirts that your friends joked made you look like a hippie but he never paid much attention to you.

It was only when Mike joined that he began to notice you more. You would pick your brother and his friends up from the D&D club, making small talk with the boys as they'd pack up.

You knocked on the door to the room, hearing a loud exclamation of annoyance as you opened the door.

The boys were huddled around a table and they looked up at you as you stood there, Eddie's eyes landing on yours.

"I'm here to pick up Mike, I am on time right?" You second guessed yourself before checking your watch and nodding, "It's nine o'clock now,"

"We're nearly finished Y/N, God, just wait a second," Mike said.

You sighed, leaning against the wall as the finished. When they were done, you ushered your brother out but not before taking one last look at Eddie.

And for a second Eddie would think that maybe you were cooler than he thought you would be.

You weren't the preppy popular girl he had expected. You like Black Sabbath and had a dark sense of humour that matched perfectly with his.

So yeah, maybe after that you caught his eye a lot more than before.

He would never admit that you were the reason he would sneak into the back of the basketball games - because if anyone saw him there it would ruin his reputation - just because he wanted to see you.

He would smile at you in the halls and occasionally help you if your locker got jammed - which it often did - and you assumed it was just because he was friends with your brother.

It was around October of 1985, 3 months after the starcourt accident when you bumped into Eddie.

You had been handing out flyers for the recent charity concert when some guy from the basketball team had knocked them out of your hands.

They weren't fond of you and despite being on the cheerleading squad and having guys gawk at you in your short dress you were still on the bottom of the proverbial totem pole.

He had rushed over, helping you pick them up off of the ground as he cured the basketball players to hell.

When he turned back to you your face was burning up, completely embarrassed that he had to help you.

Your face had gone bright red as you scrambled on the floor for the paper. He had been so helpful and you couldn't help but blush as your fingers skimmed against his as you took the papers back.

"Thanks so much Eddie, gosh, I don't know what I would have done if you wouldn't have helped out," you said, pulling the papers against your chest as another gust of wind picked up, "What can I do to thank you,"

"Don't worry sweetheart, I don't mind helping," he said, flashing that toothy grin of his at you before he walked away.

You were giddy for the rest of the day, heart pounding as you realised the guy that you found to be the new Adonis had noticed you.

And he was such a gentleman, nothing like they had said at school about him being a freak.

You may not have approved of him selling drugs - since you came from a very conservative background - but you knew he seemed so nice and wouldn't force anything on you.

So you made him cupcakes, driving all the way to the trailer park just to drop them off to him.

You knocked on the door, smiling as Wayne Munson opened it, "Hi, I'm a friend of Eddie's, I brought some stuff round for him," you said with a smile on your face.

The man smiled before turning around, "There's someone at the door for ya Ed," he called out and the boy walked by, a smile on his face as he saw you.

You held the tupperwere pot out to him and he smiled as he looked inside to see a row of cookies.

"You didn't have to sweetheart," he said and you blushed slightly at the nickname.

"Just wanted to thank you, nobody else would have stopped for me and I'd have been running around like a crazy person for hours," you chuckled.

You drove home all giddy, happy that his uncle had liked you and unsure how to feel about the rest of it.

Your sister had seen the huge smile on your face that night, not mentioning that she knew about your secret rendezvous with Eddie Munson.

You saw each other the next day at school and he thanked you for the cupcakes, bragging about how good they were.

From then on it became a tradition for you to bring sweet treats to every single one of Eddie's campaigns. He loved them, thanking you every time with varying cute nicknames that would make you blush as you walked out.

Mike would cringe, questioning as to when you and Eddie had become so close.

The boy would just smile and laugh it off, the image of you walking away in that shirt little cheerleader's dress still replaying in his mind.

Your brother didn't like it when Eddie would ask about you just because you were his sweet older sister who never got into trouble. You didn't drink, you didn't smoke and he thought it seemed out of character.

Eddie would find the chance to bring you up all the time, joking about how you should join the campaign or asking when you'd pick him up.

The people you hang out with didn't like it either. They would laugh whenever Eddie would smile at you and every time he'd talk to you they would make jokes about him, making fun of his appearance or calling him a devil worshiper.

You didn't believe any of that crap and knew it hurt him but he wouldn't let that show.

You also knew that he didn't like you the way that you liked him and decided that being friends was good enough for you.

There was also always the inkling that society wasn't going to accept the two of you if you ever decided to date and that was very off-putting.

So when he first asked you on a date you just crumbled, heart melting.

He had been so nervous, probably having waited ages building up the courage to ask you.

"So I was thinking, maybe, I could take you out to dinner tomorrow night, to celebrate your win," he said, referencing to the

He wasn't as cool about it as you thought and the nervous tone to his voice made you chuckle. You always did find him adorable.

"Sure, it's a date," you said, a grin on your face as you walked away, knowing his eyes were trained on the short cheerleading dress.

You went home and told your sister straight away, unable to keep the date a secret.

She said that she always knew that he had feelings for you and that she could see it a mile away.

You instantly planned an outfit, knowing that the next day you were going to be going to a cute local restaurant with Eddie.

You knew he wasn't going to be able to afford keeping up that lifestyle of fancy restaurants but you liked the grand gesture (and didn't mind at all that he didn't come from as much wealth as you did)

The next day you were buzzing, your mum asking what was so important.

You were hesitant to tell her but eventually you told her you had a date that night, not disclosing who it was with.

Your mum was a cheerleader and your dad was on the football team so you knew they wouldn't approve of you not choosing some douche like Jason and instead choosing the local freak.

That night you had waited at the end of your street, not wanting your parents to see him.

He had picked you up, holding you a bouquet of slightly crumpled flowers but it was the sentiment that counted.

You both laughed the whole night away, having the time of your lives and he asked you to be his girlfriend straight away.

The next few months were amazing with Eddie.

He was the most caring partner you could have ever asked for. He would invite you round for pizza, study with you (even if it would end with the two of you naked) and you'd call most nights.

He had been your first everything - apart from kiss, your first kiss had been Patrick Mahoney in fourth grade - and you wouldn't have asked for anything else.

You had never expected Eddie to be into cuddling but the first time that he held you in his arms as you lay on the sofa watching some awful movie he never wanted to leave your warm embrace.

Robin and Steve constantly made fun of the two of you when you'd come into the video store together to get a film and he'd have his arm wrapped securely around your shoulders.

The hardest part was telling your parents.

When they began to wonder who this boy you were going on a date with, you decided to tell them the truth.

Your mother wasn't too bothered, she didn't mind him but understood that he made you happier than ever before.

Your father was furious. He wanted you to be with someone who could provide for you and make sure that you had the life that you deserved and he didn't think that was with Eddie.

So when you invited him round for dinner with your parents it was awkward to say the least.

He already knew Mike and Nancy so that was fine and he got on with Holly so well that you were considering having a baby with him on the spot.

The instant that he met her they just bonded, the six year old asking questions about his clothes and he'd answer to the best of his ability, crouching down to her height as she giggled at some stupid joke that she had made.

You knew he fit into the family instantly.

Your dad was the hardest hurdle to overcome as he kept asking Eddie questions and when Mike accidentally blurted out the idea that Eddie had taken your virginity, he was fuming.

But Eddie had stood his ground, earning the respect of your father and the two became close over their love for American football - even though you were sure Eddie had never seen it before you knew his uncle was a fan.

He fit in well with your best friend Robin and although Steve had some animosity with him, he warmed up to him eventually with their mutual love of certain films.

Then your friends found out. Apparently someone had bought from Reefer Rick and he'd spilt the beans.

So the next day at school you walked in and when your friends ushered you over the first thing they asked was if you'd been fucking Eddie.

And you just wanted to cry because it was a cold January day and yeah, you had spent time with him last night but there was no reason for them to know about it.

They weren't your friends anyway, they were just people you were associated with. You had never fit in and the only person that ever made an effort to talk to you was Chrissy who obviously knew about you and Eddie.

She stuck up for you but the rest didn't buy it, instantly jumping on the bandwagon that you would associate with what Jason called 'a devil worshiper'

But you managed to brush it off until you had to go to Eddie's that night for pizza and a movie and you just crumbled.

You sobbed in his arms as you explained everything that had happened that day and he had comforted you, promising that they didn't know what they were talking about.

As soon as you fell in his arms you collapsed, "A-and they called you a freak and, God, they, they hate me Ed," you sobbed, holding onto his hellfire club shirt as you cried.

He comforted you, hand on your back as he shooshed you and held you until you calmed down.

"It doesn't matter what rhey think of you okay, I know you're amazing and your family love you and that's all that matters," he explained, pressing a kiss to your forehead.

You'd had a tough day after waking up from a nightmare that you couldn't explain to Billy and then having to he bullied about the people you chose to love.

To everyone else in school he had this hard exterior but to you he was so affectionate. Sure, you didn't advertise your relationship in school but he would go out of his way to talk to you. He would stand by your locker and chat or cheer you on whenever you needed it and you would bring him your traditional sweet treats to the D&D campaigns.

On the note of sweet treats, one thing you never expected Eddie to be able to do is cook. He couldn't bake for the life of him but he made simple meals take the best.

One time he made you pasta and you could have just died there. His ego was overly inflated after that and he was sure he was going to be the best chef in the world.

Eddie would go out of his way to make sure you had everything you wanted. He wasn't into PDA but if he even saw one of the boys - or the girls - look at you the wrong way he wouldn't hesitate to kiss you up against the lockers like some horny frat boy.

He wants to be protective over you and even though he will, he'd rather run away with you then face whatever the problem was. He didn't like conflict and would rather cower with you in his arms.

It was a trait that you did admire. He was loyal and sure of what he wanted and sure, he got scared sometimes but everyone does.

He was so sure of his relationship with you that he got the two of you matching silver rings like promise rings that signified the bond between you and to say that you didn't cry at all when he gave it to you would be a lie.

By the time of season 4 the two of you had been in a healthy relationship for around five months.

He sat through the pep rally that morning reluctantly seeing as it was mandatory. He really just wanted to see you. He supported everything that you did, just not the people that you did it with.

He didn't come to the game and you didn't expect him to, although you had promised him that the next night you'd come over in the uniform that he loved so much.

You brought him snacks before his campaign and he explained that he was dealing that night so you reluctantly let him go before leaving for your game.

But not before a good luck kiss against the wall as he pinned you in, one hand on the wall beside your head and the on your waist.

It took Mike pulling you two apart for you to finally get to the cheerleading game.

They won and the next morning you woke up to calls from Dustin who said that it was 'an emergency'

That was when your whole life changed, and definitely not for the better.

A/N - so I was thinking about making this into a series that starts with season 4 so this is sort of a prequel. Would anyone read that?
