When Eddie is introduced to Jonathan, they both give each other a look that says “if you say anything, you’re dead” and naturally, Nancy clocks it immediately.
“What was that?”
“Nothing,” they said at the same time, only growing the suspicion.
“Seriously? Do you know each other already?”
“No!”
“Yes, but-“
They glare at each other, but Eddie speaks up again.
“He bought from me a couple times. No big deal.”
Nancy looks between them, shakes her head. “There’s something else going on. But we’ve got bigger problems.”
And they did.
For months, their problems seemed to get worse by the day. It was a great distraction.
But honestly, anytime Eddie spent more time with Jonathan, it got harder not to say how they actually knew each other: a make out session in a bathroom at a party when Jonathan was yearning for Nancy.
He told Steve eventually, had to with the way he kept finding ways to avoid being around Jonathan and Steve got suspicious.
“If he said something to you about us, I’ll take care of it. He doesn’t get to say shit about what makes us happy.”
And Eddie couldn’t have Steve lose another fight, so he told him.
“So wait. You and Jonathan…”
“Made out. Yes.”
“Like…with tongue?”
Eddie rolled his eyes. “Yeah, I remember tongue being involved.”
“And hands?”
“They were there too.”
Steve puts his hands on his hips, lifts one to wipe over his face, then settles it back on his hip. “And you liked it?”
“Considering at the time my options were Jonathan or the girl in Hellfire who insisted I wasn’t gay because I looked at her during campaigns, yeah. It wasn’t the worst thing I’ve been through.”
Steve huffed. “Yeah, but like. Compared to me-“
“Oh my god.”
“What?!”
“I cannot believe you’re jealous of Jonathan Byers. Again.”
“I’m not! I’ve never-“
Eddie raised his brows. “Never? Not once?”
“That was different!”
“That was worse.”
“I dunno, finding out your boyfriend has made out with the only other guy in Hawkins who’d be up for it is arguably worse.”
Steve pouted for hours. Eddie let him.
It was cute, alright?
And when he got over it, they made out for hours in his bed.
Steve, of course, was the one who told Nancy.
In his defense, he was very high, and Nancy had been pushing him all night, from the moment she caught wind that he might know how they knew each other.
Eddie went inside to grab them all water, and she pounced.
By the time Eddie got back, Steve was half asleep and Nancy was smirking at Eddie.
“You could’ve just said.”
“He’s never getting high for free again.”
“He’s your boyfriend.”
“He’s back to being a paying customer, too.”
Nancy laughed, startling Steve into opening his eyes. He smiled up at Eddie, no clue he’d just given up one of their secrets.
“Hi, baby. You know Nancy didn’t know about you and Jonathan?”
Eddie glanced over to see Nancy rolling on her side, laughing hysterically.
“Yeah. I’m sure that was on purpose. How about we get you to bed, superstar?”
He managed to get Steve onto the couch, where he immediately passed out.
Nancy hugged him, kissed his cheek, like she always did before leaving.
“It’s not a big deal, you know. He’s mentioned that he isn’t only into women. We’ve talked a lot about the Argyle situation.” She walked towards the door. “Steve will get over the jealousy eventually. It’s not like Jonathan wouldn’t have made out with him if he could have.”
She left before Eddie could respond.
Eddie suddenly understood exactly what Steve was feeling.
“Not gonna happen,” he mumbled to himself before joining Steve on the couch and pulling him close.

Steve and Eddie both being so in love that they don't notice when anyone tries to flirt with them. Not even the other. A waitress blatantly hitting on Steve during one of their dates, even leaving him her number, and Eddie noticing like "omg that's so nice, she wants to be your friend sweetheart 💕"

Steve
Asking Eddie to move to Indy with him and Robin is the most natural thing in the world. After Vecna they became SteveandRobinandEddie, so it just made sense to live together.
Everything is perfect.
It changes one night, at their favorite gay bar. He and Eddie nurse a couple of beers at a hightop, while Robin dances with a cute blonde. Steve half-heartedly shimmies along to the Madonna song pumping through the speakers. Eddie watches him vamp to Material Girl with a look in his dark eyes that Steve can't quite read. It's not the usual fondness he's used to from his friend; too dark and too serious. It makes him nervous.
Eddie drains his drink, mouths the word "bathroom," at Steve, then disappears in the crowd.
Steve sips his own beer, letting his attention drift until he finds Robin, still dancing with the blonde, looking like she's having the time of her life. He expects Eddie back at any time, only--ten, fifteen minutes pass with no sign of him.
His eyes start scanning the crowd in earnest, desperately seeking familiar leather and denim and long dark hair. Anxiety builds in his chest, a dull sizzle beneath his skin.
He finally spots a set of leather-clad broad shoulders towards the back of the room. Eddie has one hand braced against the brick wall, pressed up nice and close to someone Steve can't quite make out.
There's bile in Steve's throat, nausea clenching at his stomach. He shouldn't look; he can't tear his eyes away.
The person is revealed in a flash of light from the dance floor. He has an All-American jaw, swoopy dark blond hair, and is wearing a grass green sweater. The closest thing to Indiana golden boy in the place, second only to Steve.
Room suddenly spinning, Steve struggles to catch his breath, but gives up entirely as Eddie closes the remaining distance between himself and the mystery man, sealing their lips in a searing kiss.
Steve watches, feels himself breaking apart piece by piece. He thought--he thought they were something. Becoming something. All their late night talks and casual touches. He'd been working up the courage to make a move for weeks, and now--
Maybe it's a mistake. Maybe Eddie breaks the embrace and gives an embarrassed chuckle before he comes back to Steve, only he doesn't. The kiss ends, sure, but then Eddie is taking the guy's hand, leading him down the hall towards the bathrooms.
Hands clutched in his hair, Steve sinks into a crouch. He pants, huffing like he just ran sprints, can't catch his breath. Tears dance at his lash line, threatening to fall. He can't have a panic attack now, here. Doesn't want Robin to see; doesn't want Eddie--
It's all too small, too tight, too loud, and Steve shoves his way outside. He rounds the building before sinking to the ground, hands shaking.
He waits outside until Robin and Eddie emerge from the club, both flushed and sweaty. He doesn't speak to either of them and they spend the drive in silence.
When they get home, he goes straight to his bedroom.
"Ste--" Robin calls, but he lets the door shut behind him. He doesn't think it slams.
Eddie
Steve hasn't spoken to him in weeks. Not since that night at the bar. When Eddie hooked up with a guy and he's pretty sure Steve knows; pretty sure it's why they're no longer on speaking terms. Eddie keeps meaning to confront him. He really does. It's just--it'll change everything, and his life was finally going okay for once.
He reaches his limit when he joins Steve in the kitchen before work, and the guy literally, visibly flinches away from him. It hits Eddie like being punched in the dick.
"What the fuck, Harrington." Eddie's voice is too loud in the small space.
"S-sorry, I'll just get out of your way." Steve's eyes don't stray from his own hands.
"I hook up with one guy and now can't even bear to touch me?"
"What? Eds that's not--"
"Don't lie to my fucking face."
"I wouldn't. Eddie, please--"
"I can't believe that this is the last vestige of King Steve. Can say you're cool with me, but when you see me do gay shit, you can't hang? Fuck you. I'm done. I'll be gone by the weekend." His voice stays remarkably steady, even though he's pretty sure not even the bat bites hurt this much.
"Christ, Munson, I'm not freaked out cause I saw you do 'gay shit.' I don't care." Steve's looking at him now; his little mouth held tight and mad.
"Like hell you don't. You haven't spoken to me since it happened."
"Not because I'm homophobic, asshole."
That makes Eddie laugh, shrill and mean. "Oh yeah? Then why."
"It doesn't matter." Steve yanks his hand through his hair.
"It does to me."
"Just drop it. You don't have to move out. I don't care who you fuck."
"You can barely stand to look at me!" Eddie shouts; doesn't mean to. "What if I bring someone home, huh? How are you gonna cope with that, knowing I'm fucking a guy in the next room?"
"It should have been me," Steve screams.
Neither of them move in the ringing silence that follows. Eddie's throat is tight.
"Wh-what?" He manages.
"Forget it." Steve turns to go. "Just--forget I said anything."
"Steve." Eddie follows him into their living room. His heart's beating all funny. "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing," Steve's face is leached of color; his eyes too bright.
"Please? I want to understand."
Steve laughs a little, looks absolutely miserable. "I saw you. With the guy. And he...he looked like me, right? And I don't understand why I'm not good enough."
Eddie swallows hard. "You don't--you're not--I didn't think you were a choice. For me."
Steve's chin drops, anywhere but on Eddie. "Yeah. Well. Surprise." He doe a pathetic flourish with his hands that clenches at Eddie's heart.
"Ah," is all Eddie can manage. The world is shifting under his feet, tectonic plates realigning as he processes Steve's words.
"It's--it's fine that you don't feel the same way. Just because you're gay doesn't mean you have to like me, and I--I was trying to get over it. I didn't want to--"
Eddie can't stand to listen to another word. He crosses the distance to Steve. "Shh, sweetheart. It's--just. Stop okay?"
Steve is looking up at him now, doe eyes wide.
He laughs, genuine this time. "Stevie. I've had a crush on you for years. Years. I used to make the guys go with me to Starcourt. I told them it was because I liked seeing King Steve laid low. Really I just liked how you looked in those little shorts." Steve giggles, face blushing such a pretty pink Eddie almost forgets what he's saying.
"It only got worse when I met the kids, with how much they talked about you. And then I met you for real? Pssh," Eddie waves his hand in the air. "Gone. No hope for Eddie Munson when you're--you're so pretty and bitchy and brave and hot, Steve, and I'm the weakest man in Indiana.
"That night. That guy. It was--I'd just overheard you and Robin talking about a cute girl, and I realized that I had to stop doing that to myself, pining over a straight guy who could never see me like I wanted. I decided that I'd try to pick someone up, force myself to see you just as a best friend."
Steve's face falls impassive. "Did it work?" He almost whispers.
"Not even close, baby," Eddie whispers back. "I'm hopeless for you."

Request: i don't remember reading something like this before and i thought it might be nice. a smut where they suddenly start kissing rough during a big fight like in films/series? they might be fighting because of jealousy or something else and the fight is going really hard, (they don't hit each other) but maybe eddie is throwing things against the wall and breaking them and the reader is pushing him by the shoulders etc., with the intensity of the fight, something can be ignited and I thought it could be a really tough smut
Word Count: 3.3K

Smut, Rough sex, there is verbal fighting, name calling, and throwing of things but never violence at each other
Tumblr media
“Are you fucking serious right now Eddie!?” 
Your chest heaved, blood boiling in your veins, making you feel as if you were incinerating from the inside out. Was he really going to stand there and accuse you of this when he did it all the goddamn time, assuring you it meant nothing?
“I saw you, sweetheart! You were practically in his goddamn lap!”
“I was not! Jesus Christ! I was sitting on the stool next to him. We were just talking. I haven’t seen him since high school so he was asking what I’ve been up to.”
Eddie snorted, his eyes rolling up into his head. “Yeah. I’m so sure Billy Hargrove was real interested in a conversation and not your tits that were practically in his face, begging to be touched.”
The rage that was building within you had you trembling. It slithered like an ugly disease down your arm and into your hand. You grabbed the ashtray from the end table and chucked it at him. He ducked just in time as it smacked into the wall with force behind him. 
“What the fuck!?” he yelled, those brown doe eyes now dark with fury. “What is wrong with you?”
“You! You’re what’s wrong with me! I sit there every fucking time you have a show and watch while girls hang all over you! You smile and laugh and tease them! You make them think they have a shot with you! You pose for pictures and sign their fucking tits! You sit there like a king on your fucking throne, soaking it all up, loving being the rock star that all the groupies want a shot with! And you’re always telling me it means nothing! I have to just accept it if I’m with you! But I have one goddamn conversation with a guy…”
“He’s not just a guy! He’s your fucking ex!”
“Yeah! He is! Ex being the word that matters here! I’m not with him. I’m with you! I chose you and I keep choosing you but you never fucking choose me!”
His mouth dropped open, sounds of disbelief and disgust spluttering from him. He folded his arms across his lean chest, rising up to full height, towering over you. You didn’t flinch. You weren’t scared of him. Eddie could be a jerk but he would never lay a hand on you. 
“I choose you! I could have any of those fucking girls I want! They want to come home with me! They’ve heard I can show them one hell of a time and they practically beg me to show them! But I don’t because I have you!”
“Oh! Well so sorry you’re saddled with me! That can easily be fixed you know!”
“And just what the hell is that supposed to mean, princess?”
“You can leave anytime you want if this isn’t making you happy anymore! Yeah! You know what? Maybe you should! Then you can actually live out your sad small town rock star fantasy! You can bring a different whore home every night and show her what a good time you are.” You paused, tilting your head, hands on your hips. “But what fucking home will you bring her back to when you don’t have me to foot the bills so you can run off pretending you’re Tony Lommi?”
“We’re really going to do this again?”
“Do what again?”
“Bitch about me not pitching in enough around here! You knew what I was when you decided to be with me. You told me you were good with me working part time so I could focus on my music.”
“That was three fucking years ago! How long are you going to keep it up!?”
“You used to support me! You used to believe in me!”
Tears welled up in your eyes, only fueling your anger more, because you didn’t want to cry. You didn’t want to show any sign of weakness. You didn’t want him to see how much his words had hit their mark, like an arrow hitting the bullseye. 
You had supported Eddie. You had supported him. You’d encouraged him to go for his dream but his dream was now killing both of you. You couldn’t take it. Night after night watching women throw themselves at him, watching him encourage it, eat it up, relish the attention. Working twelve hour shifts, dead on your feet, just to cover rent because Eddie couldn’t possibly take on more hours if he was going to get that new song finished.
“Yeah, I did, and you used to act like I mattered!” you spat. 
“You matter!”
“Do I? It sure as hell doesn’t feel like it! When’s the last time you spent any time with me that wasn’t in the fucking bed, Eddie? That’s all I’m good for anymore! You don’t want to watch a movie or go down to the lake like we used to! I’m nothing but a toy you bring out when you need to quench your urges and then you put me back on a fucking shelf!”
“Bullshit! I invited you to band practice last week and you said no!”
“Oh! Thanks so much for wanting me to be there! We both know you just want an audience! You want someone to worship you and tell you how amazing your music is. I’m your girlfriend Eddie! I’m not some fucking groupie who’s just there to fawn over you and spread my legs!”
“No? Well, you sure acted like one tonight with Hargrove!”
“Fuck you! Get the fuck out!”
“This is my apartment too!”
“The fuck it is! You don’t pay for shit and my name’s on the lease!”
“You seriously want me to leave?” he growled.
“Yes! I want you gone! I’m done! I’m not doing this shit anymore!”
“Oh! Oh! I see what this is. You gonna call your roid rage boy toy once I’m gone? What sweetheart? You saw that mullet again and just couldn’t help yourself? You going back to him?”
You should say it but you couldn’t help yourself. Not after week after week of questioning if Eddie wasn’t just giving all those girls attention. Not after nights staring at the clock, wondering if he was off with one of those groupies, temptation too much for him to handle. Not after the way he’d just assumed you’d be willing to do the same. Staring him down, you challenged, “And so what if I am?”
His arm shot out and you shrieked, flinching, your hands coming to either side of your head as a shield. The crash of broken glass shocked you to your core as he grabbed the nearest thing to him, the lamp, and threw it with all the force he had against the wall. 
You stared at him, silent, shocked as he glared down at you, chest heaving, each breath straining the fabric of the fitted shirt he’d started to wear ever since a groupie told him he should show off his body more. 
“You want to go to him! You’re gonna leave me for that piece of shit!” he raged, flinging magazines from the end table one by one, nowhere in your direction, just satisfying thunks against the wall that punctuated each word he spoke. “You think he’s gonna be better to you than me!” His hand snatched the little elephant that he’d bought you from the zoo, the tiny figure cracking as it made contact with the wall next. “You’re just gonna walk away!”
“You asshole!” you screamed, fists pummeling against his chest, shoving him backward. His hands wrapped around your wrists, holding you in place, keeping you from reaching him. 
“Stop it!” he yelled as you flailed like a feral animal to free yourself from his grip.
“I hate you!” you cried. “I fucking hate you!”
“Calm the fuck down!” he roared, pushing you back until he had you pinned against the wall, his weight pressing against you. “God, why do you have to be such a bitch!?”
“Probably because you’re such a dick!” you snap back, trying so hard to hold onto your anger but the awareness of his body, every inch of him now pressed against every inch of you, is making it harder to do. 
He rolls his hips, his erection pressing against your center, smirking when you gasp at the contact, “Yeah, but you like that dick, don’t you?”
“Go to hell,” you grind out through gritted teeth and when he drops his head to find your lips, you snap at him, going for the bite. He just chuckles, keeping hold of your wrists, bringing them to either side of your head against the wall. 
“You are such a pain in my ass.” He tries for the kiss and when you nip at him again, his lips latch onto your neck instead, sucking a bruise into your skin while he slots his thigh between yours. 
“You are…” 
But you never tell him what he is as he presses his thigh against your center, your traitorous hips rolling, seeking the friction he’s providing. His mouth moves over your neck, suckling the flesh in a semi-circular pattern until he reaches the other side. He’s marking you, a necklace for you to wear, to display that you’re taken, that you already belong to someone. Like a fucking dog in heat, he’s making sure that Billy Hargrove and any other unfortunate male who even glances your way knows you’re not available. 
You want to fight him. You want to be the badass bitch who pushes him off and walks away, stands your ground, but it just feels so goddamn good. His mouth on your skin, firm muscle grinding against you just where you need it, fingers pressing into your pulse points as he keeps you captive against the wall. 
“What was that, princess? I’m what?” he teases, fingers loosening their grip on your wrists, trailing over the sensitive flesh on the underside of your arms sending shivers racing up your spine. They brush over the outer curve of your breasts and your back arches, your body craving more, needing more but Eddie just steps back, holding his hands out in front of him. “There’s the door. If I’m such a dick, why don’t you head out right now and find your little boytoy?”
Your teeth grind together, that anger that you’d forgotten in the haze that was desire raging back, the two warring with each other, a battle that was about to lead to epic destruction. 
“You bastard…” you mutter, shoving him backward, his body moving barely an inch. “I despise every fucking thing about you.”
One eyebrow lifts, taunting, his tongue slipping out of the corner of his mouth, tracing over his bottom lip. Your eyes watch, a clenching between your thighs as that backstabbing bitch aches for what she knows that tongue can do. 
“I hate you…you’re…you’re…”
“Yes? I’m listening.” He cups his hand to his ear, egging you on, brown eyes dancing with amusement as how vexed he’s gotten you. 
A roar of frustration rips from your throat, your hands slamming into his chest, sending him almost toppling over the coffee table. His arms flail for a second before he drops to his ass, hard, just managing to keep himself sitting. He barely has time to look up at you before you’re climbing onto his lap, your fingers sliding roughly into his hair, grabbing a fistful, painfully pulling his head back, relishing the way he winces. 
“Fuck, princess. Careful with the hair.”
“Shut up,” you order, your tongue tracing down his neck, his wince quickly turning into a groan. You sink your teeth into the flesh between his neck and shoulder and he grunts, grabbing onto your hips, fingers digging into the flesh hard enough to bruise. 
You rock against him, seeking the relief, the pressure building within you, winds of anger and lust meeting to create a tempest that was about to sweep you both away. Lips, teeth, and tongues clash in a war of biting, sucking, and scraping that has your thighs shaking, a coil tighter than you’ve ever felt before curling in your stomach, begging to spring free. 
Eddie’s hands grab onto your top, tearing it in half, the sound of the threads coming apart satisfying. He makes quick work of your bra and then his mouth descends, marking your flesh until you’re sure there won’t be an inch of you that isn’t bruised. Your hands find their way up his shirt, nails raking along his back when he clamps his teeth over your nipple, tugging at the tender peak, a pain that sends a rush of pleasure straight to where you keep rocking against him. 
“Fuck yes!” you cry, nails embedding into the skin of his shoulders, using him as leverage as you chase your own release against the bulge in his jeans. 
His hand clamps around your throat, pushing you back, away from what you want right at the moment you’re about to get it. The rage is back, awakened again by the audacity of this man to keep your orgasm from you. Your back drapes over his legs as he makes fresh marks over your stomach, his other hand slipping up your skirt. 
The soft Eddie, the one who glided calloused fingers over your trembling flesh, who teased you over top of your panties, who pressed tender kisses to your inner thighs, was nowhere to be found. Without warning, his thrust two of his thick fingers past the scrap of fabric and inside you, not giving one thought to if you were ready for him.
But you were. Holy shit, you were wetter than you’d ever been, inner thighs already sticky from the friction, the brutish way his mouth was marring your skin. You’d never been so turned on in your life and you didn’t know what that said about you and at this moment, with his fingers deep within your pussy, his heel grinding against your clit, his mouth suckling a fresh mark under your breast, you really didn’t care. 
“Not thinking about leaving now, are you, princess?” His hand came down, making contact with the side of your breast with a smack, your whole body jolting. 
You cried out, your hands dropping to the ground behind your head to keep you from spilling off his lap. Another finger pressed into you, stretching you, filling you and a sound you didn’t even recognize wrenched from your body as it clamped down around his fingers. His large palm grabbed your breast roughly, pulling at the overly sensitive skin, everything heightened in this moment, your entire body feeling like it flayed open, senses on max level. 
“Fuck!” you growled, your whole body quaking as it neared release and his palm lifted, fingers slipping out, leaving you feeling empty. 
“You don’t come until I tell you to.”
“What the fuck do you mean…”
But your words were cut off as he manhandled you, turning you over, your face pressed down into the carpet. Snatching off your underwear, he roughly palmed your thighs, spreading you wide until your entire front half was bent onto the floor. 
You heard the slide of his zipper. “You want this dick, don’t you?” he purred, leaning forward, his voice just over your shoulder. “Come on, princess. You want this dick, you gotta ask nicely. Say please.”
“Go fuck yourself,” you spat, refusing to give him the satisfaction of hearing you beg. 
“Hmm…okay then…”
“You think I want that after so many groupies have had a turn on it,” you challenged, daring him to say it. To tell you that yeah, he’d been cheating on you for months. Letting you believe it was all just about keeping the fans happy so they’d keep coming back. “You think it’s so special? You can fucking keep it. I can find just as good elsewhere.”
You moved to get up and his hand wrapped around the back of your neck, pushing you back down to the floor. 
“Nobody’s had a fucking turn but you,” he growled. “I’m a lot of things, sweetheart but a liar ain’t one of them. You are so goddamn stubborn, you know that? Sometimes I wonder why I even put up with you.”
“Then don’t!”
“Oh, I wish it were that simple. I’m fucking in love you, you idiot! You’re a pain in my ass and you drive me up the fucking wall but I love you and you love me and you fucking know it.” He slapped your ass, leaving a sting that had your pussy dripping all over again. “Now be a good girl and ask for my cock politely.”
Fuck. You hated how right he was. You hated how much you wanted him. You hated how hopelessly in love with him you were. You wished you had the strength to just get up and walk away but you didn’t. A throb between your thighs reminded you how much you needed this. Your body was going to make the decision for you. 
“Fuck me, Eddie,” you snarled.
“I’m sorry. What’s the magic word?”
“I hate you…I hate you so fucking much…”
“Nope. Sorry but that’s not it.”
“Please!” you screamed. “Please fuck me into this goddamn floor and let me come already!”
“That’s my good girl.”
His hips slammed forward, colliding against your own as he buried himself to the hilt within you. You groaned gutturally, your body a discrepancy of both relief and tension. He thrust into you at a brutal pace, your skin smacking together, loudly filling the small space. You had a fleeting thought about what the neighbors were hearing but it quickly dissipated as the only thing you could focus on was Eddie, stretching you, filling you, finally giving you what you needed. 
His hand wrapped around your throat, pulling you off the floor, pressing your back to his chest. Continuing to fill you, he gripped your neck, his other hand sliding over your stomach and in between your thighs. When he applied pressure to your clit, you keened, arching back against him. 
“This pussy is mine. You’re mine.” His teeth bit down into your shoulder. “You’re the only one that’s mine. You’re the only one I want. Do you understand that?”
You couldn’t answer. Your eyes rolled toward the heavens, muscles trembling violently. You had zero control. His grip around your throat tightened, a wheeze rising from your lungs as you attempted to suck in air that you couldn’t find. 
“I said, do you understand that?”
He slowly eased up pressure and you rasped out, “Yes. Yes. Yes…”
The word continued to fall from your lips, a mantra as the pressure that had been building within you finally reached its boiling point. You were standing at the precipice, looking at the drop…it was so damn close you could taste it. 
“Come for me now,” ordered Eddie. 
The band snapped, an explosion of sweltering heat racing along your skin, as your orgasm violently took over your body. Eddie kept his hand around your neck, not ceasing his unmerciful pounding, his flesh meeting yours with a ferocious collision every single time. His grip tightened as an animalistic roar assaulted your ears. 
Sweat slicked flesh slid against each other as the two of you collapsed into a heap on the floor. You lay next to him, panting, struggling to understand what the hell had just happened. How had you gone from being ready to kick him out to having the hottest sex of your life?
“I mean it. You’re the only one. I’ve never kissed or touched any of those girls. I’ve never even considered it,” he gasped. “Have you? Were you…considering Billy?”
“No…not really,” you managed, still unable to fully catch your breath.
“You love me?”
Your head turned, looking over at this idiot that somehow had such a hold on you. You couldn’t explain it but you also couldn’t deny it. Rolling your eyes, you shook your head.
“Yeah. I do. I love you even if you are a dick.”
“Good because I love you too, you pain in the ass.”

this one is inspired by this fic by fivecenturiesverse
“Nancy and I broke up.”
“Shit,” Steve says, somehow managing to sound surprised. As if he and Nancy weren’t teetering on the verge of something throughout spring break. “That sucks, man.”
“It…was a long time coming, I think,” Jonathan admits. There’s a soft thump, like Steve clapping Jonathan’s shoulder in solidarity. 
They don’t say anything else, and Eddie almost leaves to go eavesdrop somewhere else when Jonathan speaks. 
“Are you…going to do anything about that?”
“About what?” Steve asks, genuine confusion in his voice. 
“Nancy.”
“Oh.” Steve doesn’t say anything for a moment, and Eddie braces himself to hear the truth. That he’s going to ask her out, ask to get married, ask her to have his six little nuggets and travel across the country together. “No.” 
Eddie’s brain record scratches. 
“Really?” Jonathan sounds rightfully skeptical. 
“Yeah, I don’t…” he lets out a nervous laugh, and Eddie can picture him raising a hand to scratch at the back of his head. “There’s…someone else, and I can’t…she’s amazing. Nancy, I mean. She’s, like, this huge person in my mind, you know? I wanted to love her so much, and I convinced myself she loved me back because it was easier than admitting I was clinging onto something that wasn’t meant to be. I kind of put my whole future on her. Figured if I could love any girl, it’d be the perfect one right in front of me.” He laughs again, hollow. “She was right, to call it bullshit. I don’t know what I was thinking.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah.”
“If it helps, I think she really did love you,” Jonathan says, sounding fake as all hell. 
Steve brushes him off. “No you don’t. It’s okay, it was never really real. Not like you guys. That…that really sucks, man.”
“It’s for the best, I think.” There’s a long pause. “You said…if you could love a girl, it would be Nancy.”
“…I did say that,” Steve says warily. Eddie has a feeling he really, really shouldn’t be listening to this, but he can’t bring himself to back away. 
“Do you…are you…” 
“If you’re going to be an asshole, I should tell you that I’ve been working out a lot since ‘83,” Steve interrupts. 
“I noticed,” Jonathan mutters. 
What. 
“What?”
“What?”
“I…nothing,” Steve sighs. 
There’s another, longer pause, filled with tension that Jonathan decides to take an emotional jackhammer to. “Do you want to fuck me?” 
What the fuck. 
Oh, God, he’s going to have to save Jonathan Byers from his tragically straight crush. From their mutual tragically straight crush? …their mutual tragically straight crush, who admitted to not liking girls? 
Something’s not adding up. 
“What the fuck, Byers?” Steve sounds angry, and Eddie prepares to jump in. “What, you think just because I’m queer I automatically want to sleep with you?”
What. 
“No!” Jonathan yelps. “No, that’s not it, it’s just…we’re both queer, and stuck here for the foreseeable future, and I’ve never been with a guy but I trust you.”
There’s a stunned silence. 
“You’re queer.”
Jonathan doesn’t say anything, probably dying of mortification. 
“You trust me?”
“Steve,” Jonathan says gently, and Eddie nearly bites through his tongue. “Of course I do.”
“You and Nancy just broke up,” Steve says, wavering. “And I can’t…there’s someone else. I wasn’t lying about that.”
“It doesn’t have to mean anything. You can say no. I just figured I’d ask.”
“Fuck,” Steve mutters. “You realize I’m just as in the dark here as you are, right? I’ve never been with a guy either.”
“We can find out together,” Jonathan says. “Only if you want to, though.”
A heavy silence, where Eddie has to bite his tongue to keep his cool. 
“Fuck it. Why the hell not?”
Then Eddie has to leave for the sake of his own sanity. Not before he hears the wet smack of a kiss, though. 
Eddie might be going insane. 
It’s like everywhere he looks he sees signs of Steve and Jonathan’s… development. Steve leans forward to grab something and his eyes catch on a hickey under his collar. Jonathan sits a little too gingerly one day, and Eddie’s immediately caught up in a fiery inferno of jealousy that he’s not the one sore from whatever Steve did last night. He has to leave the room. 
It gets even worse when Steve comes by DND wearing a shirt that is clearly Jonathan’s. 
“What are you wearing?” Dustin demands before he can. It’s probably a good thing he did, Eddie might have just started biting him to stake a claim. Which is a useless thought, because Steve isn’t his to claim at all. Steve is Jonathan’s. And stake a claim he did. 
He kind of wishes he could hate Jonathan, but he can’t. The guy’s just so sweet with his brother, and it’s obvious in the way he takes care of people that he’s a good guy. The kind of guy who deserves someone like Steve. Someone would have to be a crazy, fucked-up, jealous asshole to hate him. 
Eddie is all of those things. He’s also great at lying to himself. If he doesn’t admit he hates Jonathan Byers, fellow freak, for sleeping with the most unfortunately spectacular jock imaginable, he never has to confront his own failure to keep to his code. The doctrine that Steve cheerfully set on fire and then stomped the ashes into dust. All without knowing it, the asshole. 
He really can’t blame Jonathan. Eddie’s well aware that he’s made up some weird, one-sided rivalry in his head over Steve’s affections. It’s not his fault that one of them got the guy, and the other got to scream into his pillow at 2am. 
Sure, they both said they were hung up on other people, but how long would that really last? He’s fairly sure Steve was lying about having feelings for someone. Eddie can’t help but watch him, and he’s never once seen a sign Steve was interested in any of the other men he hung out with. 
Steve colors. “It’s Jonathan’s,” he says, picking at the band tee like he’s self-conscious about it. Which is ridiculous. He obviously knows he looks good in anything. “I…uh…spilled something on mine.”
From the way he talks, Eddie has a pretty good idea what exactly got on his shirt. He takes deep breaths, and tries not to chew through the table. He wishes Steve were in his band shirt instead. He’d look great in Judas Priest merch. 
He tries not to picture him in a Corroded Coffin shirt. He fails.

Steve began to feel a little jealous of Eddie’s hair after he started using Steve’s shampoo. Eddie’s curls were already beautiful, but now they were more defined. They were bouncy, buttery soft and shinier than ever.  Steve loved to bury his nose in them when he kissed Eddie’s head in the morning—and again at night before he fell asleep. He also didn’t mind when Eddie used his lap as a pillow. Steve would run his fingers through them mindlessly while they watched TV, ruffling Eddie’s bangs every now and then. Steve spent half the time looking down at Eddie instead of whatever they were watching. Eddie was so pretty. Steve found himself saying that out loud more often than just thinking it. Eddie’s reaction was almost always the same: he would scrunch up his nose, his cheeks would flush the nicest, rosiest shade that complimented his skin tone, and he would argue that Steve was much better looking than he was, so Steve doubled down. “It’s true, Eds. You’d think people would’ve called you ‘The Hair’.”

No matter what they do, Steve is always mistaken for a straight guy.
Eddie doesn’t mind, he was the first one to assume Steve was straight before he had taken Eddie by his shoulders and kissed him until he had proven his convictions wrong.
He will admit it’s a little annoying when they’re out on a date and there’s the occasional waitress interrupting them to give Steve her number or the random dude who calls him “the Hawkins ladykiller”.
For sure, Eddie doesn’t mind as much as Steve does.
Whenever something like that happens, he gets stiff, then gloomy, then looks at Eddie with big sad eyes -Eddie is so weak for that look- and finally gets as close to him as he possibly can, wrapping both of his arms around his, resting his head on his shoulder, pressing on his side… yeah, Eddie doesn’t really mind that Steve gets mistaken for a straight guy one too many times, especially when they can pretty much cuddle in public and there will be still people who think they’re doing it in a totally platonic way.
Eddie understand how much Steve hates to be mistaken as his straight friend only when they go out to a gay club for the first time.
They were both exited to go out and have fun in a gay friendly environment, but not being fully used to it they were still leaving some space between them as they got in.
They were in line for drinks when some guy had approached Eddie, completely ignoring Steve’s existence.
«Sorry dude, I’m taken» Eddie had told him, pointing at a very pissed Steve glaring at him over his boyfriend’s shoulder.
When this happened with two other guys, Steve had enough.
«are you fucking serious? I’m sitting right here!» Steve explodes at the third guy of the night.
«Oh sorry dude, I thought you were just a supportive friend» to give him credit, he looks mortified as he walks away from them.
Eddie recognizes all the signs, except that Steve seems stuck in his gloomy/sad face stage, so he decides to initiate the touchy one himself by pressing all of his body to Steve’s side and wrapping him in his arms.
«Are you jealous, pretty boy?» Eddie teases him, not thinking Steve actually is. He has to reconsider when Steve’s faces gets redder and doesn’t reply.
«what are you jealous of?» Eddie asks, a little incredulous.
«you, of course!» he responds, quickly. He has some afterthought that makes him pout, look down at his feet and kick some abandoned plastic cup on the floor «like, I’m right here, we’re together, we’re in a gay bar and people still think I can’t possibly be your boyfriend? I’m right here! What am I then? Chopped liver?»
Eddie doesn’t know if Steve would’ve admitted all of it without a little amount of alcohol in his body but he’s glad he did.
«Then,» Eddie licks his lips «how about you show them that I’m very much taken and that you’re my boyfriend?»
Eddie doesn’t remember much else from the night, but while he’s making out with Steve, caged against the wall, no one comes to question their relationship.

You're my best friend
✨Eddie in love with his best friend (fem!reader), feelings of inadequacy, fluff, comfort, light angst✨
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Damsel I'm back!!!! It's so excruciating going grocery shopping..."
It's the melodramatic entrance and the small pout at the end of his sentence as he kicks off his stinky shoes that makes you chuckle.
"Glad you survived Edds."
You two used to talk at school and were on good terms. After he failed to graduate twice you became classmates and got so so so so so close. The truth is that he always had a crush on you, but regardless of that your friendship is real and runs deep.
When you were looking for a place to stay after deciding you needed some time away from your family, Eddie told you that you can stay with him -his uncle is barely at home anyway- as long as you do the cooking. Least to say, you accepted the offer.
You listen to him playing his electric guitar, he keeps you company while you study, you have laughed and cried together. He doesn't mind you're not a complete freak like him, but more of a black sheep at school. There have been rumours you're dating and at first you liked being dramatic about it. Unfortunately for him, you're actually dating someone now so the "being dramatic about it" has stopped. Eddie doesn't enjoy your romantic interest taking your attention away from him, but he respects you too much to say anything that could even remotely throw you off.
You are roommates, you have your rules, your movie nights... and he's a gift from God you can't lie. He has learnt and accepted your every little quirk and peculiarity.
Sometimes you make hot chocolate and play Scrabble with Dustin and him. Sometimes you play with his hair while he's stoned. He has significantly cut down on smoking all this shit since you moved in.
Eddie isn't the jealous type, but the pit at his stomach envious type, the delicate disappointment that he can't have you the way others do type.
You'll be his first and last kiss.
Eddie drives you everywhere with his trashy car. He's the best company you could have ever asked for. You love your friend. You wish more people could see him the way you do.
The night is uneventful with you falling asleep on the couch as per usual. In the morning, Eddie wakes you up by ruffling your already messy hair and singing "you are my sunshine" in an ear bleeding frequency.
You're too sleepy to care and just stretch, your lack of a bra not going unnoticed. An awkward giggle is all he lets out, but internally he's so grateful for his hair covering his ears. They're burning too intensely for this time of day.
You get ready for school. It's all routine.
After school, you have your shift at the same place Mrs. Wheeler works in. At least it's quiet.
At this point you feel too bored for your own good, not to mention how your date canceled on you a third time in a row. You return home so done with life. Your hero, Eddie, has prepared the hot water just for you. He welcomes you in by telling you that you're late and have missed the DnD match, but he quickly realizes you're not in the mood.
You're so mentally exhausted, fed up and frustrated with your canceled date that you try to kiss him, wrapping your arms around his neck. Eddie gets a little hurt because the rules say no pitty fucking amongst pals.
When there's no reaction from him you just pull back and shrug. You won't show how embarrassed you actually feel. Not in this already pitiful state. Eddie knows about the canceled dates.
He does try to move on and get some snacks and a movie ready. He is flustered... your breath was so hot on his face... good thing he has time to shake the feeling off while you shower.
"The grime has been washed off!"
"We can talk about it, ...if you want to that is?"
Eddie is genuinely worried about your emotional state and he makes you open up and even break down in his arms. You have been living in denial but your love interest has been distancing themselves from you.
After this crying session, with you holding onto Eddie's warm body and wetting his Hellfire Club shirt with mascara tears, you put on a horror film. He even lets the fact that you're wearing your now ex's hoodie drop. Even though the revelation makes his chest tighten and his breath canal feel like it's been blocked.
You fall asleen on him.
He can feel the outline of your curves and your breasts pressing against him but the way he's holding you is gentle, like he's afraid you'll break into a thousand small, sharp pieces if he squeezes you too hard. You're even snoring softly, completely drained from all the crying.
At least you can't notice the silent tears running down his face. It's unfair. He's choking up in all the unsaid things. He had to see you crying over someone that doesn't even appreciate you while he was there. Exposed to you, ready to give you all he had.
Is he not your best friend? Who is there painting your nails and giving you scalp massages when your period headaches torment you?
Maybe if his mother hadn't abandoned him he would have been able to ask her for advice. He feels like crap now. Are you really that blind? Do you take him for granted to such an extent as you showed him tonight?
Another morning comes, but insecurities gnaw at Eddie. He can't fake a smile when you yawn and open your eyes, realising you're still wrapped around him.
"You look like shit."
Normally he wouldn't mind your choice of words at all, probably finding something even worse to say to you, but in his fragile state... Eddie snaps.
"It's not funny y/n! Do you think it's funny when someone spends the night sleepless?!"
You tilt your head, your mouth forming a straight line.
"I didn't mean to-"
"Oh no, I don't wanna hear it! Are you really as insensitive as you let out?"
"Edds I... I-"
"Shut up! Just shut up! I can't take it anymore! You have me wrapped around your finger y/n, feeding me hope and baked goodies.. but I've never heard a single I love you Eddie, not a single I actually care for you Eddie... Nothing!"
His big eyes are glassy now, tears threatening to spill down his freshly shaven cheeks. It breaks your heart to see him like this.
"B- but I do... I do love you!"
Your voice cracks as you feel your own eyes swelling up with tears.
"Then prove it! Prove it goddamn it! Wear my hoodies, worry over me for a change... Just please... Please-"
All the energy and anger have vanished from his expression and tone. Your gaze has softened as well and he feels like he's melting under it.
You extend your arms, wrapping them tightly around him. Eddie returns the embrace like you're gonna vanish into thin air if he doesn't hold you close enough to be able to feel your heartbeat against his own.
"Have I been so blind?" you ask without breaking the hug.
"Yes you glorious idiot of a girl..."
The pout... the melodrama. He's okay now. You stay like this for a while, missing your classes but at least settling into the conclusion.
You two belong together.

pls pls plsss continue jealously, jealously! i would love to see their relationship progress and slowly intertwine some smut in there. i very much am a sucker for a friends to lovers story and the way you wrote it was just so special and different to the usual smut fanfics on here
Hi! I definitely plan on continuing ‘jealousy, jealousy’! I actually just finished the first draft of it. I’ll be editing it and posting it probably this coming Friday!
I’m not sure I’ll introduce smut into it as I feel it’s more of a fluffy plot, but I did just post ‘crossing the line’ which is a friends to lovers Eddie smut & will have a second part once I get around to writing it!
I’m so glad you like my writing though! I appreciate you reading it more than you know 🥰💗

I need Eddie's jealous moments!!!!!
yk... for research
Eddie once came home from a three-week stint playing shows in middle-of-nowhere Ohio to find a man sitting on his couch. Steve was newly diagnosed and newly moved in, and Eddie was prepared for anything.
Except for a man sitting on his couch. A very distinctly Tommy H-shaped man, sitting way too comfortably and way too close to his boyfriend. On his couch.
Eddie was expecting throw pillows not – “Hagan.”
“Munson.”
Eddie wasn’t due back until tomorrow and Steve is surprised to see him, and he’s happy. He lights up like Christmas, but this is not the homecoming that Eddie was expecting. He still gets a hug, but it doesn’t linger and it doesn’t lead to where he wants them to go (the bedroom). Steve awkwardly pats him on the shoulder when he pulls away like they’re bros.
It’s kind of obvious that Steve had some of his jock friends from high school over to watch the game because the people on tv are talking about sports and there’s a letterman jacket too big for Steve or Tommy forgotten on the kitchen floor. The fact that Tommy is the only one that remains irks Eddie though.
It sets his teeth on edge, especially when Steve settles back on the couch and Tommy refills the space next to him like they were still friends. Tommy throws his arm over Steve’s shoulder, absently touching his hair the way that he always did in school. Steve might not notice it, but Eddie does.
It ain’t subtle. Not to Eddie, who knows what it looks like to be in love with Steve Harrington.
He’s not dumb. Eddie might be out of town just as much as he’s in it nowadays, but he knows what the rumors are about why Steve is living here. He also knows that if he was the one harboring a crush on a boy since grade school and there was even the slightest change that he might be gay than Eddie would be here too. Testing the waters.
Too bad for Tommy though because this is Eddie’s pool.
Despite the loud and obnoxious presence pressed up against Steve’s side and Steve awkwardly reintroducing them to each other, Eddie still asks, “You have people over?”
“Wayne said it was okay.”
“Course it is,” Eddie grinned. “You live here, sweetheart.”
Steve tells Eddie how Tommy was home from college for the long weekend and about the game of telephone that led to him hosting his friends. He even tells Eddie how he recorded the game on tape to watch with Wayne later. Eddie listens and he maybe agreed to watch the rerun with them, but he’s waiting. He’s watching Tommy squeeze the back of Steve’s neck and make some joke that’s not funny, and he’s waiting.
And it happens.
Steve asks Eddie how his shows went, and Eddie grins. He’s not an insecure man. Not about Steve and not about their relationship. Tommy can make all the moves he wants, Eddie knows where Steve’s sleeping tonight. So, he grins.
He startles them both with a running jump onto the coffee table and he takes up all the attention in the room, Tommy left an afterthought. Eddie regales his time in the far off land of Ohio. He paints a perilous picture of nights driving through cornfields and cows like an adventure. He recounts their shows like he’s slaying a dragon, and he draws Steve in like he knew he would.
He physically draws Steve closer, crouching down in front of him and putting his hands on his shoulders. One hand slides up to caress his cheek, and Steve leans into the touch. Eddie pulls him forward until he’s barely on the couch at all and Tommy is left leaning against nothing, and then Eddie pulls him to his feet.
High school Steve probably would’ve sneered at the Eddie of it all, but this Steve – his Steve – laughs and lets Eddie pull him where the story needs to go. He drags Steve through the living room as he weaves a tale in movement about Corroded Coffin’s harrowing battle against the one lone preacher protesting devil music.
Their feet get tangled together when Eddie zigs and Steve zags, and they end up toppled into Wayne’s favorite chair. Steve laughs in that way that squishes his whole face and he tells him without thought, “Missed you.”
Eddie knows that those are words that Tommy wants to hear. He knows the taste of a friendship lost and he knows that Tommy wants this, but this isn’t high school anymore. Tommy can’t just take what he wants. It’s a deep and settling smugness playing on Eddie’s lips because this his and he says, “I know.”
Tommy leaves with very little fanfare. Forest Hills may not be a castle, but it’s Eddie’s domain and Steve is a very captive audience. Tommy, at least, knows when to admit defeat.
He’s standing on the gravel outside of the trailer when he says, “I’ll drive you to that appointment Monday. What time was it?”
Before Steve could say anything, Eddie’s throwing his arm over Steve’s shoulder. He gives Tommy a grin that’s all sharp corners as he threads his fingers into Steve’s hair and tugs on it, “Don’t worry about it, Tommy-boy. I’ll handle it.”
Eddie only kinda feels like an asshole when he smudges Tommy’s name off the calendar stuck to the fridge later that night, but then he gets into his bed for the first time in three weeks. Steve curls up closer and Eddie finds it really hard to care about anything else.

Ok ok ok I cannot stop thinking about the dynamic of Eddie x Pencils when they’re in their new fluffy lovey relationship. Possibly even Eddie being jealous AF cause all his friends just love hanging out with her (maybe a little too much) I just love them together. I can see Eddie being all screechy/shrieky cause he’s not getting one on one time and it’s starting to piss him off! Love those two sm!

Tumblr media
Summary: EDDIE X PENCILS RIDE AGAIN - listen I’ve been thinking about this ask for two days and I thought what if- what if everyone else loves pencils so much and rudely robs Eddie of her time and the fallout of the kids being all steal ya girl- poor Eddie-
“I swear man, I’m about to start plastering her poster on telephone poles and milk cartons. It’s getting pretty freakin’ dire over here.” Eddie speaks as he presides over the squares of the board splayed before him.
Friday night. Doused under the blooming tulip bulbs of the Hellfire club room. Shadows spot the room where the dramatic lights can’t scrape. Swimming sea blue and fiery Sahara amber.
The candles are lit. Jerky flames flicker their licks of light. Stage set. Atmosphere geared up for the adventure and the conflict that may come. The dice are gathered. Board awaits. Poised for another one of Eddie’s imaginative campaigns.
Some would say sadistic- he would say mildly warped at best.
Folks were still strolling in from end of class. Numbers not assembled to full platoon yet.
Gareth, Jeff, Sinclair, and Matt are the first ones to rock up. Still waiting on his other tardy freshmen. They sit at the table. Drink sodas. Scarf down the snacks Gareth bought cause it was his turn. Cheetos, red vines, pretzels, and Reece’s pieces.
Eddie chucks himself back in his throne. Sits with his heels popped on the table edge. They sit and slowly kill time. He listens to them munch chips loudly, bicker over dumb shit, and somehow, the conversation had turned its attentions onto you-
His pencils. His maiden. The Art to his Garfunkel. Only much, much, hotter.
Gareth chucks Eddie a Reece’s cup. He catches it one handed - but there’s no celebratory fist pump. No jerking smile. He doesn’t scoff it down in three seconds like his usual bottomless-pit style when it came to candy.
He’s subdued. Something irks at him. Like a thread he can’t find the end of. He taps the edge of the table.
“So you haven’t seen your girl in a while then huh?” Jeff asks in reply to Eddie’s statement about milk cartons. A sloped smile on, as he snaps open a Pepsi can.
“Nada.” Eddie answered. “It’s really starting to grind my gears.”
You ate lunch at their table some days. Were welcome to, in fact. Sought after. Your absence is noted on the days you don’t, with curiosity and longing.
You caught a ride with Eddie to school. Mixing with them with no hint of awkwardness, and arguing about which was better, Sabbath or Motörhead.
I’m sorry but Motörhead rules in my book. Have you heard Lemmy play? Like c’mon open those ears kiddos. You know Ozzy wanted originally wanted to call ‘Iron Man?’ Metal bloke. C’mon.
As Eddie walked into school with his arm slung around your shoulders. You were still arguing with Jeff about it. He couldn’t get a word in. Once you start arguing about music you cannot be placated.
Alright, alright then can we at least agree that Twisted Sister is better than Bowie, Jeff tried in vain to argue.
You turn to your boyfriend. Clutching your pearls. Choking on the crazy statement.
Edward the children are delusional. What have you been feeding them? LSD?
He cackled all the way to class.
You got in on their jokes. Poked fun with them at the jocks. Correct their English homework when they get spelling mistakes, cause you happened to walk that class last year and got an A+.
Dustin honey, you spelt transcendence wrong. As you rubbed out his mistake with him with the end of your pencil eraser and filled it in. Told him to put his argument in the first paragraph to give it more punch up top. Science he got, lit essays were hard.
Your girlfriend is a freakin genius, man.
You think I don’t know that? C’mon you think I couldn’t pull the brainiest, hottest chick around? Please? I’m beating off chicks with a stick over here. Comes that devil Munson grin.
You patted his chest. Do I need to put a tongue depressor in your mouth? Are you getting hallucinations again?
C’mon pencils that was one time after a bad trip.
You’re slowly growing into familiarity in the social circles Eddie turns in.
Not like you could be apart for long. You two were inseparable and grossly in love. The making out was frankly, sickening, in its duration, frequency, and volume. Like something strummed right out a carpenter song. Heart throbbing teen love. And oh, it’s clutches were fierce.
That was, when he could lay eyes and hands on you. Which hadn’t happened now for four hellish, crawling days. Time is being waded through treacle for him.
It’s making Eddie fucking itch.
“Maybe I should file a police report.” He jokes. But in all seriousness, it’s actually crossed his funky little mind.
“I think I saw her earlier. She was out in the lot helping that Mayfield kid. Putting stickers on her skateboard or something.” Gareth told him.
“Not you too, red.” Eddie sighs muzzily as he crashes his head back to his seat in despair. Arms flailing out. Pinching the bridge of his nose.
“Does everyone in this school get a bigger slice of her than I do? Oh you know. I’m only her boyfriend for fucks sake.” He whines.
“She is pretty cool though.” Matt piped up. “Even by our admittedly limited standards.”
Eddie side shoots him a acid glare that says ‘yeah, no shit.’
“She busy with schoolwork or what?” Sinclair asks.
Eddie flails his hands. A mock attempt at trying to assuage his lovesick heart.
“I guess. I mean she does looovvve to stick her head in the books that one. Or she’s always sketching away. I know she had a history paper at the start of the week she had to stay home and work on but seriously, I’m dying of vicious neglect over here.” He makes a clawed hand over his heart like it’s gonna slowly squeeze to a stop.
“Yeah, it’s like we’ve gone what? Three lunch times now without seeing you guys noisily attached to each other’s faces.” Sinclair the elder, chuckles.
Eddie lobs a Reece’s piece at his head. “Ow. Hey?”
“That was called for. You know it. Pain is a part of life.” Eddie frowns at him.
“You’re just snippy cause you haven’t sucked face in so long.” Sinclair pointed out.
“I wonder if she remembers what I look like.” Eddie dreamt dazed. Staring at the ceiling so wistfully. Always so dramatic.
“It’s Friday night. I’m sure she’ll be free.” Jeff tries to play the kind and hopeful card.
“She better. Or else I’m not joking about that milk carton idea.” He wags an over accessorised finger in warning.
“Yeah, yeah.” Gareth placates as he chews on a red vine.
The bang of the doors has Eddie’s eyes slamming across. Ready to beat seven shades of shit out the tardy pair. Hellfires club rules were absolute: Eddie was known to take his rules seriously. To the death.
Henderson and Wheeler come careening through the doors. Wary of the lateness of the hour. Incurring the Munson wrath.
“Hey, don’t mind us.” Dustin says as they throw themselves into their usual seats and grab their things.
“Sorry we’re late. Got- held up.” Wheeler explained as he rooted elbow deep in his bag.
“Oo red vines. Gimme.” Dustin screeches. Mike snatches for the Cheetos packet.
“It’s ok man. We were just talking about Eddie and how he hasn’t seen pencils in like, forever. It’s driving him nuts.”
Silence. Thick as soup. You could sip it.
Eddie drags his eyes up and catches the way Wheeler flicks his eyes across to Henderson. Who has suddenly clammed right the hell up. Sat there holding a red vine.
Henderson usually trilled on and on like tweetie pie. Something was definitely up. All was not right in whosville. Boy better not bother with poker. Not with a giveaway face like that.
Those whiskey dark Munson eyes never missed a thing. Dagger tips that scratch into his two young opponents.
Henderson knows they’re being scrutinised. The way that crazy mane of Eddie’s flicks where he tilts his head at the two of them.
He braces his arms suddenly on the throne and sits up to crouch on his heels. Dustin and Mike actually flinch.
Their terrifying rabid DM coming level like a metal perching gargoyle. Really, Hellfire wasn’t Hellfire without Eddie scrambling around or climbing on shit.
“Something to say there, gentlemen?” He pressed. Sawtoothed edge to his voice that grates. Cuts skin. He claps his hands together.
“No. No. Nothing man.” Henderson spits out. His knuckles are white on the edge of the table.
At the same time of Wheeler’s “Nothing. Nothing at all.”
They’re prickling with sweat along the hairline. Hands fidgeting with their back pack straps. Plus, the inevitable fact that Eddie’s dark-cold stares are among the most intense things ever known to man. Arctic frostbite skimmed off a razor cold ocean could cut less.
Through narrowed whiskey eyes. “Have a seat.” He bit out each word.
Dustin tried to make small talk as he unzipped his bag. Got his character sheets. Very loudly excited over the prospect of snacks. Loved everything. Everyone looks good tonight. Everyone’s good. Good, man. Cool.
Wheeler just kept his mouth shut. Eddies eyes burned holes in the both of them like bleach.
“Why so late.” Eddie asks punchily. Creeping accusation hangs heavy on his tone.
“Uhhhhh. We-“
“We, why are we uh, late? Mike do you- recall.”
Eddies white knuckles crack together. His teeth will soon be dust.
“We… ran into Mr Clark. He started chatting about- science and, shit. You know, other stuff.” Mike got out.
Eddies bullshit-o-meter was creeping into the red. Hazards flashing. Alarm bells wailing. The rest of the guys at the table are side eyeing each other with drawn back smiles. Biting lips to stem laughter.
“Name the stuff.” He grins. So wide. Too wide. Scary wide. Calling the bluff.
Mike gulps. Dustin’s mouth gaped and no words came out.
“Man-I-think--I-think-we-should-just-tell-him.” Dustin whispers out the side of his mouth. Turning to Wheeler who was crumbling under the famous Munson poison stroked gaze.
“I feel like a rat.” Wheeler explains.
“Funny. Cause In about five seconds I’m gonna feed you to an entire army of rabid rats unless you spill, and tell me what the shit is going on.”
“We, have an advanced calculus test on Monday.” Dustin piped up.
“And?” Eddie urged snappy.
“And, uh, we needed some help and luckily, you know this really awesome someone, very selflessly offered us some assistance in furthering our education. Which is really nice of them, when-when you think about it” Dustin yammered.
Eddie nodded. Sucking in a deep breath. Eyes darting back and forth on them.
“This someone-“ He started.
“Man I told you he’d be wicked pissed.” Wheeler snuck out the side of his mouth at Henderson.
“Shut-the-hell-up. It was your idea.” Dustin hissed between clenched teeth.
“Describe them to me.” Eddie waved his hand in a curling motion.
“Who?”
“This selfless being who helped you. Describe them.” Eddie’s eyes threaded with steel.
“What?”
“You heard me.”
They blink owlishly at him. Mouths slack like guppy fish.
“Medium height. Hair. Uh, Eyes.”
“Do they also have feet and teeth, cause that’s not narrowing down any of the general populous for me.” He bitches at them.
“Studies art. Likes all kinds of cool music. Works in the record store. Loves Billy Idol. Bout yay big-“ Wheeler explains. Holding his hand up to roughly your height.
“You probably… know who we’re talking about… now.” Dustin summed up with a closed fist nervously waving in the air. Smoothing his clammy hands down to the table top.
Eddie slumps back to his chair. Rubs his fingers into his temples. A storm of pins starting to thunder at the roof of his skull. Like top pitch Slayer shredding screams in his ears. It’s deafening. Pins and needles plucking in his brain.
“Let me get this straight-“ He announced with the usual Dungeon Master fanfare from his ornate throne. Voice booming in the quiet of the echoing room.
He crosses his arms. Rattle of his chain bracelet. Clack of those rings as he swirls a finger in the air trying to pluck at the right words.
“I couldn’t lay eyes on my own girlfriend for the entirety of my week. I don’t see her at lunch. Or after school. Not a peep. I look everywhere for her today. And I mean everywhere man, and now you’re sitting there, telling me, she was helping you pipsqueaks, finish your calculus paper?”
He leans forwards and stabs his finger into the tabletop. The whole thing quakes. Storm Munson hitting hard. Expect casualties.
Wheeler looks at his shoes. Dustin nods nervously.
“That’s hmm, about uh right. Yeah-“
“You are skating thin thin ice my friends.” Eddie warns.
“Whilst we’re on the subject, I suppose I should mention, I uh, did invite her over to watch band practice tomorrow night. She said she’d bring cookies.” Gareth revealed.
“Awhh neat score man. What kind?” Matt asks.
“White chocolate and raspberry.” He grinned.
“Oh my god.” Jeff giggles in glee. Fist pumping.
Eddies fit to tear his hair out.
Wondering how long he would have to spend in prison for the completely spontaneous and cold-blooded murder of his entire DnD club.
He wonders if he could make it worth it. Or to the border-
“I can’t believe I have to share my girlfriend with all of Hawkins and now I have to try and compete with you morons? Unbelievable.” He mumbled to himself.
“Are we gonna start this campaign or what?” Gareth asks. “As you say, we don’t come here to chit-chat. We’re here to play.” He pushes his hand on the table before him in emphasis.
“You’re lucky I don’t banish you.” Eddie snaps. Eyes crazed.
“Banish me? Wait. Like in real life. Or the game?”
Eddie stares at him for a second too long. Raps knuckles on the table.
“Haven’t decided yet.”
Gareth shrinks in his seat.
“C’mon man take it easy. Nothing wrong with everyone liking her. Surely that’s a compliment right?” Jeff tries to argue.
“Oh yeah. I’m feeling the benefits right here. Hey, if I need any help scheduling a date with my girlfriend anytime soon I’ll just ask one of you bozo’s. She free tonight, how about next Thursday?” He jokes around. All jocular and pissy.
“Nah man, she said she was going home tonight to-“ Dustin began but tapered off when Eddie shot his famous ‘really’ look. Deadly.
“…study for chem lab.” He finished slowly. “But she said to say she’d call you…. After… Hellfire.”
Eddies committing war crimes in his head. Truly.
“I detest you all so much. Let’s start please, before I-“ He clenches his hands and cracks his knuckles. Takes a deep breath.
“So, we start in the wild plains of-“ Eddie explains. Voice slipping into hushed storytelling mode.
“Hey, does she play DND?” Gareth interrupts, with something that definitely looks similar to flirtatious. Big big smirk.
Eddie glares. It’s steeped in all kinds of poison.
He reaches across and flicks over Gareth’s figurine. It clatters to the floor.
“Oops. Look at that. Bad storm.“
~
The sun dips low over the low slanted street of houses as you walk up the smooth tarmac of Gareth’s drive towards the Garage. The Fall night pricks unkind at your back and churns your breath silver.
Through the trees on the horizon the sky is stroked into layered slices of punchy lilac and petal pink. Black trees loom thick from the woods like prickly pine sentinels.
You’re lugging a tugging heavy bag crooked on one arm, and a whole plate of cookies in the other. Rocky road and raspberry and white chocolate. Teenage boys ate like a ravenous pack of wolves half starved.
You smile as you come to the muffled metal wall of sound thrashing it’s rhythm the other side of that garage. The crash of drums. The bass. The cry of that warlock you recognise so well.
Hands not free, you rap awkwardly on the clanging door with your elbow. You ick when your banging disturbs some rain drips that scatter off the overhang and drips chilly down your collar.
You gaze up as an eruption happens the other side of that door. You smile at hearing the music come crashing resoundingly to a clunky screech and stop. The pitchy whine of the amps and microphones.
Voices blare over the din. You hear the rush of footsteps. Sneakers scraping over the tarmac. You know exactly whose-
The garage door clunks up so fast with a fierce rattle. Rolling from the other side. Showing you in slow degrees, the red drum set. The mic stands. Rust square of carpet. The corroded coffin sign emblazoned proud on the wall.
Cords snaked everywhere. Boxy amps and all those metal posters Gareth tacked around the place. Half of them were from you. You bought him two more today from work that Sal let you snag.
You hear Eddie’s shrieky shouts rattle at the door. “Back off. Hey, hey hey hey, back off. My girlfriend, man. Mine.”
“Hey guys- uhfff“
A gut punch of a sudden attack crashes into you because your boyfriend ducks under the partially open door, and full body tackles you. Like the scurrying menace of a jangly golden retriever that he is. Beloved guitar slung right around his back. He toddles you backwards down the wet driveway.
You hold your arms out either side with the cookies in one, and your bag in the other as he limpets like lichen. He bends his knees and scoops you up off the floor. For a skinny guy he was freakishly strong when he had to be. Your sneaker toes scuff and drag the rain sheened tarmac.
Wiry leather arms enclosing you. But they’re strong too, clutching you to a firm warm chest draped in a black Zeppelin tee. His mouth at your neck. Apple smelling hair tangled in your mouth. Elbow hooked around your head.
You hum a smile. Cause it’s just entirely wrapping you up. Leather and bar soap. Red smoke smacking into you. Eddie. He’s burying you alive in one of his all encompassing hugs that you just burrow yourself into. Warm t shirt body surrounded by the outer colder layers of denim and leather.
You knock your head to rest into his. Whole body fluttering with the giddiness of being near again.
Eddies hooked his arm around your neck like he’s keeping you there, hostage.
Sweat damp bangs and burning off so much manic energy, and a smile splitting his lips. Waterfall spill of curls cupping that face. Making a frame out of those intense espresso dark eyes.
“Missed you.” He rumbles as he rubs his cheek on your hair. Delighting in the smell of you in his nose. Coconut and perfume. You, soft and real under his hands and you’re here- listening to the slow dub-dub of his heart as he holds you closer than was physically possible. If you were any closer you’d be on the other side of him.
“Never would have guessed-“ You smart at him. But you can’t crow too loud. Your stomach is cartwheeling. This boy has you so soft. It had been an interminably miserable week without him. Like being sat in the darkness for a week without your spots of golden sun.
“Missed you too, Munson.” You peck a kiss back on the side of his head. “You gonna put me down anytime soon?”
“Unlikely.” Is his answer. If anything he wraps around you tighter. Squeezes the stuffing out of you like a crushing boa. Like he could crush you up and snort you. Swallow you. Anything- still wouldn’t be close enough.
He does put you down. Mainly so he can cup your face and shove his lips onto yours. Warm hands on your cheeks tugging you to a messy kiss. He presses every ounce of yearning into it. Pours it into you via those pillowy lips.
“Gotta stop that annoying school habit. Y’know. It’s really getting in the way of my quality one-on-one pencils time.” He says with the tip of his nose brushing into yours. Stroking your hair back off your neck.
“Fine. It goes. Tomorrow.” You smirk back.
Tipping in so he can kiss you again. You smooch him all slow. He leans into it. Humming a moan that sends a reactive zing up your spine. You want to grab at his denim back and kiss him some more but your hands are annoyingly full. He sucks on your lower lip and scraped teeth, your breath skips.
“Please for the love of god, keep it PG.” Gareth calls out. Sat at his drums still. Twirling his sticks in hand as the band stands and watches Eddie kiss and kiss, and twirl you around in the cold stained twilight air. How it brushed you both in cloaking purple.
“We don’t need to see that.” Matt piped up. Looking down at his guitar.
“Man, you ruin all my fun.” Eddie grins back at his friends. Slinging his accessorised fingers into your belt loops. Reeling you inside.
“Can you take these before my arms freakin fall off?” You laugh to Eddie.
“For me? Shucks.” He takes the cookie plate off you. Of course he does.
“Don’t scarf them all down to yourself like last time.” Matt pleads.
“Or lick them all.” Jeff adds.
Eddie is already tearing the saran wrap off and shoving a rocky road cookie right into his mouth. The whole thing. Opens his mouth as he chews making his signature demon face. Charming.
Covering his shirt in a waterfall of dark chocolate crumbs. You kindly brush them off him as you step past.
“Sounded good guys. Another Judas Priest cover?” You ask as you come inside and dump your bag down by the ratty old couch off to the far side.
“We’ve almost got enough new covers for a set“
“Next gig at the hideout is in two weeks, right?” You asked. You recall Eddie telling you over the phone.
“Yup. And we wanna have a couple of new songs rehearsed by then.” Jeff says. Nervously trailing his hands over his guitar strap. Shuffling his feet on the squashy carpet.
“Nice one.” You comment. “Can’t go wrong with Judas Priest. Though you know in my opinion you should totally throw a little Blondie in there. Crowd pleaser.”
They all groan in unison.
“You always say that. Or Talking Heads. You’re unnaturally obsessed.”
“Debbie Harry is such a babe though, man.” Gareth sticks his tongue out.
“Really?” You ask as you stand and chew a cookie. “This coming from the boy who has the Kim Wilde poster up in his bedroom.”
“That’s not mine. It was my sisters.”
“Crawled it’s way into your room did it?” Eddie winked at you. Beaming. Leaning against the couch arm.
“I hate you guys.” Gareth decided.
You round back and confiscate the cookie plate off Eddie and hand them round. He snatches off what he can before they’re ripped away. Noisily sucking chocolate off his fingers.
The guys cluster around to get one. About time they stopped for a break and a snack anyhow. He’s all set to pout at you until:
“I also have a Six pack in my bag.”
Eddie’s smile whips back around tenfold. “God, you’re a babe.” He sticks his lips to your temple with a disgusting wet smooch. All lips and spit.
“Awh c’mon.” Gareth opened his arms wide. Disappointed at the lack of the beer being shared around.
“It’s band practice not a kegger.” You pointed out. “Besides I brought Pepsi and spent half an hour of my day making cookies for you guys. I’m not totally evil.”
That was met with a chorus of disgruntled mumbles and grunts.
“Evil pencils.” Eddie whirled in close and hissed naughtily in your ear. His breath on your neck made goosebumps break across your skin.
“I’m sorry. When did you all turn 21? I must have missed the party invites.” You smile at them with your arms crossed. Stroking your hand over Eddie’s arm, as you made sure they all got a cookie.
He made a ‘suck it’ face to his band mates as he cracked open a cold one.
“You’re 18 and Eddie’s 20.” Matt unhelpfully pointed out with a grin.
“Watch your mouth when you talk to your elders.” Eddie pasted his chest to your back as you handed the plate around. A ring clad hand flashes for another one. White chocolate and raspberry was his weakness after all.
“You can’t have all the cookies and a beer. Not fair man.”
“Pencils baked the cookies. Guys. Pencils is my girl. Which means that the cookies are mine too. SO, you only partake if I decide to let you, idiots.”
“So, if she’s hanging out here with us in band time, does that make her our groupie?” Gareth asks cleverly. Waving the cookie in his hand around, gesticulating.
Eddies hand reaches over and lightly flicks the curly hair near where the top of Gareth’s ear should be.
“Hey.” He winced and cupped the side of his head.
“Any more groupie talk and one of those drumsticks is going up your nose, man.” Eddie warns. Gareth did love sticking his neck out
“I’ve got two posters in my bag drummer boy, don’t make me take them back to Sal.” You threaten with a grin. Eddie is making devil eyes at him.
“What’s the score?” Eddie asked you. Hands linked around your waist. Just enjoying the way he could sway bodily into you. Chin nesting on your shoulder. Cold beer within reach. And his guitar. His perfect Saturday night was set. His two favourite chicks.
“Scorpions live tour 85’ and, a Sabbath poster from the 1980 tour Live at Last.”
“Comment rescinded, Mi’lady.” Gareth decides as you chucked him over the shiny rolls of paper.
“I’m keeping you geeks in posters and new tapes here. You should build a monument to me. Fifty feet tall.” You joke as you grab a beer.
You toss the nearly empty cookie plate down on the coffee table and fold your legs up to sit criss-cross on the old orange couch with its sagging cushions and patchwork blanket thrown over the zig-zag floral pattern.
Eddie tips his head back to look across at you. Slumps down the arm to crash next to you. “We will dance around it naked, light a fire, and beat our chests whilst howling at the moon.” He smirks with mischief skated eyes.
You crash your sloshing beer can to his. “There’s the devotion I so crave.” You admire him being close by - at last - brushing the salty sticky bangs off his head with your fingertips.
“The very least I could do. You keep these bozos happy. You keep me in beer and kisses and…” He lowers his voice and sneaks his head closer to your ear to whisper “other much dirtier things.”
You smile. Letting your head fall back to the couch cushions. Eddie’s full out and out beam catching yours. Laying his head down to this saggy couch. Slotted right next to yours.
Heaven really as a place on earth. He’s sat here gazing into your eyes like they’re a new fascinating form of glittery stars.
“It’s been a long week without you, Munson.” You tell him with a note of gladness taking up your whole throat. It was a relentless flurry heartache, of school, work, homework heaps and heaps. Too much. You feel stretched thin and brittle as burnt twine.
“Those little puffy baggies under your eyes are a dead giveaway, pencils.” He thumbs below your eyes, squishing down softly at the bags that seem darker and more black-purple than usual.
“Insane workload this week. Rudely kept me from seeing my favourite metal head.” You said with sulk.
“I can remedy that.” He twists to set his beer down on the floor. Returns with hands free to tuck you close. Hand slipping around the back of your waist. Splaying you to his chest. Plucking a deep inhaling kiss into the nest of your sweetly tropical scented hair.
“M’here now. You’re here. The world is set right again.” He comforts.
You smile and welcome the touch. Hand on his soft stomach. Grounding yourself in the barely soft pudge of his tummy through his shirt. Sat hip-to-hip at last with your menace of a metal head. Breathing in worn leather and smoky reds and it’s like he’s your jagged little rock n’ roll touchstone for normality. You can sink into relaxation now he’s here by your side.
“Apparantly you were really mean to whole of Hellfire yesterday.” You asked with humour traced on your mouth.
“That’s subjective. I can be a fair DM.”
“Mhmm? Apparently you banished Gareth.”
“He was being annoying.”
“You made him cry.”
“Who told you that?” He fidgeted. That meant it was true.
“My little birds and spies.” You mocked in a witches cackle.
“That’s concerning.” He commented.
“Lucas chatted to Red about it. She tells me all the goings on.” You inform him.
“Dammit, red.” He cursed with a silly grin.
“Why were you being mean?” You coaxed out like he was a toddler throwing a tantrum over someone touching his favourite hot red fire truck.
He slung his eyes up to yours. All dewy lashes and bambi. “Because-“ he starts with stroppy inflection. His arm unconsciously squeezed you in closer.
“They’re stealing you off me. If I can’t find you, you’re in the library helping Henderson and Wheeler with their homework. I come to see you at work and you’ve got this gaggle of meddlesome kids I have to bat away to get a look in. I find you at lunch and you’re monopolised drawing npc’s for Hellfire club or band posters for our next gig.”
You can’t help smiling. Oh, Eddie.
“Here, I didn’t even ask you here tonight. Gareth did. You brought cookies for them all and posters for the little shithead. You ask Jeff about his mom and his brothers broken friggin leg, and Matt’s asthma.”
“Is his brothers leg any better?” You check.
Eddie grits his teeth.
“He broke it at the football try outs. He so wanted to make the team. It was very traumatic.” You added openly.
“I just wasn’t counting on having to share you around with the entirety of Hawkins High.” He shakes his head. His hair goes all flicky. Something sad skates across his eyes.
You parse his sullen words through a filter:
One day you might chose them over me. And I wouldn’t blame you if you did.
“Munson?” You say seriously. He sulks but catches your gaze. “What?”
You answer by cupping his chin and lean in to smooch him real slow. The way he likes. He can’t stand half ass cold little pecks on the cheek. What have we been married for forty years- fuckin C’mere I’ll show you a kiss, pencils. Propriety be damned.
Eddies way was always to devour whole. All or nothing.
You hold onto his face even when you pull back. Lips all kiss stung. His eyes are all yummy and dark chocolate heavy. He’s dazed already.
“I don’t mind the babysitting. They’re cool kids. They adore the absolute shit out of you, and I’m glad they don’t despise me. And this goes without saying but I only have one rockstar in my life. That’s always gonna be you, baby. Period.” You tell him. Rubbing your thumb across his jaw.
“Yeah?” He asks all dopey. Puppy grin on his big silly mouth.
“Fuck yeah.” You grin. Eddie kisses you so hard it tips you sideways.
You laugh and it’s mumbled and crushed onto his lips. His sneakered foot flails out and catches his beer. Whips it over. Hoppy bud lite spilling everywhere.
His band mates clamour over the new sight of you both slanted horizontal on the couch. Eddie piling on top of you and some definitely sloppy making out happening.
“Heyyy-“ they all shout. “No dear god, please stop.” Like you’re a couple of dogs they’re trying to stop from humping.
“No no. We don’t have time for you guys to be horizontal right now. We have band practice!”
Eddie ignores them. Selective Munson hearing.
“Come over after this?” He asks with a low tone that you definitely catch onto the very sultry meaning of.
“Unchaperoned? Brazen. I’ll be ruined.” You tease.
“I’ll make the ruination very worth your while.” He picks the back of your hand up and kisses it all soppy and daft.
“Don’t you always.” You smile. Biting your lip. He’s simping hard when he nuzzles into your neck and lays out his arguments. Giving you those huge sad baby cow eyes.
“I’ve got a list of reasons you should accompany me home.”
“What are they, pretty boy?” You ask. Tucking hair behind his ear before it sticks to his lips.
“Number one, You just called me pretty…” He held up as his hand as he ticked off his reasons.
“Number two, you’ve got a really nice butt. Really. It’s like, super cute.”
“Thank you. Number three?”
“Wayne’s missed you. Asking me every damn day when I’m bringing you over again and you know I don’t like to disappoint.”
“Of course.”
“Number four, there is a spider in my room that looks like it might eat me. And I need a witness in case it tries something.”
“I’ll have to consider that.” You negotiated. But truth be told you made your mind up hours ago.
“I might consider it. Even if only for the express reason of spider protection. Not for any other reason whatsoever.”
He nods solemnly. “Mhmm yeah. I’m just trying to be safety monitor you know? Safety in numbers.” He says as he slides his hand up your sweater. Brushing over your stomach. You hold his hand over you.
“I like your thinking.” You tell him. He seals a lush kiss at your lips. Playing around with you.
Eddie parts from you with a sticky smooch. Licking lips. Your fingers tunnelled into the back of his hair. Lost in the sea of wild curly black. “Later, rockstar.” You bite your lip.
He blushed so much at your praise. That’s one other gorgeous thing. The amount of compliments you can pour into this boys ear in whispered praise or dirty filth: he lights up with the giddiness of it every time. Bulb bright. Megawatt.
He scrambled up and off you. “Alright, alright you little shrimps-“ He hissed moans and groans where he hauled himself up, and away, after smacking a wet kiss to your cheek that lingered.
“Where were we huh?” He crowds in and peers at the scribble of their set list. Leaning over to take a look.
You mop up the spilt beer with the too big sleeves of your sweater. Dabbing the floor. Gareth’s mom wouldn’t care for the garage being left smelling like a frat house.
You put the can back into the table. Laughing to yourself as they start to bicker over what song should be next.
Jeff sidles over to you all nervous as you’re knelt on the cold floor. “Can I beg a favour?”
He gets a pretty mangled tape out of his pocket. “Player in the car chewed it up on the way over. I know you have the touch.”
“Indeed I do.” You wipe your beer hands over your jeans and shimmy your fingers and take it off him with a curling grin. Slipping a Bobby pin out your front jeans pocket. “Leave it with me kid.”
You look down at the Corey Hart tape. Hook a brow. “Sunglasses at night, Jeff?”
“It’s my moms.” He offers all jittery. Hands sliding into his pockets. You nod. Carefully handling the shiny tape that needed rewinding.
“That’s what I say to Eddie about the Bryan Ferry and ABC I have shoved under my car seat and if you dare tell him- I will kill you ten different ways.” You grin with narrowed eyes. “Everyone’s allowed a guilty pleasure.”
“Secrets safe with me. You’re awesome.” He lisped bashfully, before joining the rest of his band. Who were now breaking out into a full blown argument now. The air fragrant with it. Thick shouts and interjections layered over each other. Everyone rising over each other to be the loudest.
Eddie is, of course, winning. Shaking his mad head and snatching the red sharpie and scrubbing over Gareth’s writing and almost running the pen over his fingertip on the page.
Stuffing another cookie in his mouth. They’re clamouring louder and louder. He’s spitting crumbs everywhere and now it’s turning into “Ew, gross dude.”
You shake your head and settle on the couch cross legged, sipping back cold beer occasionally, and patiently put Jeff’s poor mangled tape back to rights.
“You’re coming right?” Floats over to you. You break your concentration and look up. Gareth is talking to you.
“To what? You ask. Feeling behind and dumb.
“Our gig at the Hideout. It’s totally your thing.” Gareth flirts.
“Mmm audience of six drunks. I promise to be there and to misbehave.” You say methodically as you focus back on the cassette.
Eddies giving his best Billy Idol attitude glare at Gareth’s head. “Did you just invite my girlfriend to our gig?”
“What? She’d totally be into it.” He defends.
“Nothing wrong with getting some babes in the audience, right?” You shrugged, looking over at Eddie with a snappy wink.
“Exactly.” Gareth answers. A touch too flirty.
Eddie inhaled deep in rage as he snatched his own drumstick off him. “This is going up your nose, now.” He snapped.
Gareth wound around the drum set and Eddie gave chase. You watched them loop the damn thing ten times whilst Eddie shrieked at him and aimed random things at his stupid curly head. Half a cookie. An Iron Maiden cassette tape. Empty Pepsi can.
Symbols clash where they sprint past. Dodging cords underfoot. “Interfering son of a- MY girlfriend. You hear me, MINE, you lil shit.”
You stayed in your corner. Saturday night now apparently in full swing. Shaking your head as you smiled. Boys.
~
The crickets are creaking and the stars were vivid, winking so bright, when you and Eddie step out the garage door, and into the relentless night air. Thick and cool. So smooth you could sip it like a dirty martini.
It pricks bumps up your arms as he slings his metal clad fingers through yours, and lopes along with you. Band stuff corralled messily into the back of his beaten old van.
He stops when he scans the street. Shoes scuffing the sheet of tarmac.
“Huh.”
He flicks his eyes around. You lurch ahead of him. His hand still stuck wrapped in yours.
“Something up?” You ask.
There’s a glint of promiscuity in your eyes. It’s a menacing conspiratorial look. One that you’ve studied and poached off him, no doubt.
“Lack of a certain Capri sat on the curb out here, pencils.” He looks around. Making sure his eyes don’t deceive him.
You grin. “Yeah huh. How strange.”
He comes level to you. Twirls you into his chest. Arms linked around your middle. Those pillowy lips grazing the top of your jaw. Clever Pencils.
“Guess l’ll have to stay over now.” You accept. One hand over his. The other holding your overnight bag you’d assembled hours before.
“Seems that way.” He flirts all grinning, as he waddles you down the drive. Inside he’s fist pumping and yowling at the top of his lungs.
He pitched for you again. Leaning down and shouldering into you. Biting his lip all cheeky as he growls out a sound as he flips you over his shoulder. Carrying you with your legs dangling down at his back.
“I win. Pencils. I win. Suck it kiddos. How you like me now.” He says as he clumsily runs with you down the drive.
“Eddie!” You shrill. He slaps your ass. Makes an Mmmm sound as he does.
“I got your juicy ass now baby. I ain’t sharing anymore.”
Your laughs and shrieks and his cackles echoing in his ears all the way.

Okay guys consider…
When Steve and Eddie start dating Eddie gets insanely jealous. Not of people who are looking at Steve or girls that flirt with him. Everyone flirts with Steve, and his amazing boyfriend never gives them so much as a second glance. No Eddie is jealous in an incredibly specific, incredibly silly way
He is jealous of Wayne and Steve.
Or rather he’s envious of the easy way they bond. It feels so stupid, he should be happy that they get along, but it’s the way that Steve seems to just fill all these gaps that Eddie and Wayne might have. He’s into sports, he likes to drink beer, and Steve doesn’t endless chatter to Wayne about things he doesn’t really care about. They can sit together in silent companionship, where Eddie can’t stand the quiet for more than thirty seconds.
He tries to make sure they’ll never know, because the rational part of him is happy that they get along. He’s happy that Steve has another person he can lean on, and he’s happy Wayne has another kid to love, and they all feel like a family. He just isn’t used to sharing Wayne, and he will get over that. Hopefully before either of them notice how hurt Eddie gets when he sees them laughing at some joke he will never find funny.

watching biker!eddie fixing his bike, all covered in grease. hair pulled back in a bun. white cut off t-shirt showing off his muscles. when he catches you staring he just smirks, “see something you like doll?”
Tumblr media
Omg Mariah!! ���� ((this can go along with jealousy))
We can pretend like it’s one of the first times you see him, he lives across the street from you and you can’t help yourself from staring. After he catches you, you’re stuttering trying to come up with something smart to say but getting even more choked up as he slowly pulls his shirt up and off of his head. Your face completely flushes as he wipes the grease and sweat away from his body, winking at you as he tosses his shirt onto his bike before walking inside his house to take a cold shower, your eyes following him until he closes his front door behind him, he’s smirking the whole time.

Jealousy,jealousy
Summary: things get intense when you see Chrissy and Eddie out in your spot in the woods
Involves: angst, cussing
I take requests!!!
Hint the Olivia Rodrigo song lol.
————————————————————————-
Chrissy fucking Cunningham. That’s who you caught your boyfriend, Eddie munson with in the woods, in your spot. It wasn’t a secret seeing as most kids went out there for drug deals and smoking which was what he was probably doing but it was still a spot for you and Eddie. Something special and he was alone with another girl.
You weren’t supposed to be meeting him today but You wanted some serenity and peace so you decided to go out there to that spot in the woods. Where there lay a rusty old wooden bench, Trees surrounding the secluded area for miles.
You had followed the trail to where it met the opening when you stopped dead in your tracks, slipping behind a tree to truly realize what you were seeing.
Eddie was sitting down at the table, the familiar metal box full of weed sitting closed on the rotted wood. A blonde girl sat across from him, ponytail bobbing as she laughed at something he said. She didn’t have to turn around for you to know it was Chrissy. You could hear her voice and you knew the way she laughed. The obnoxious way she laughed.
“You’re not what I thought you’d be.” She said in a quiet voice, fidgeting with her skirt. He leaned his head on his hand and smirked. “Mean and scary?” She giggled and nodded. “Yeah…” he shrugged and sat up straight again. “Well you’re not what I thought you’d be either. I was terrified of you and now I’m selling drugs to you. Guess we both made wrong assumptions.”
She laughed again, smoothing out her skirt, something she tended to do when she was nervous. “Yeah I guess so. Wait you were terrified of me?” She gasped, giggling as she did so causing you to roll your eyes.
“Oh yeah. But I don’t think so anymore. I guess because you’re like one of the prettiest girls at school so why would a girl like you associate with me?” You felt a pang in your heart as the words slipped past his lips. You were supposed to be the prettiest girl in his eyes.You felt tears form in your eyes but tried to keep them back.
“Don’t say that. You’re a good guy. I wish I would have realized that soon.” She reached across and touched his hand and he made no move to reject it. “Yeah well being around Jason carver doesn’t help. If you hung out with us, you’d do a lot better.”
You scoffed to yourself and felt anger replace the annoyance you felt earlier. Anger and sadness filled your heart to its core as you stomped off out of the forest, making sure they knew someone was there, watching their secret little interaction. Chrissy had a major crush on Chrissy and Eddie apparently didnt see it which frustrated you but the fact he was openly flirting with her in your spot made you furious.
You drove to the video store after making it to your car, keeping yourself in check until you were buckled in and then the tears started coming. They wouldn’t stop for a couple minutes until you were completely dried out and then you composed yourself. You couldn’t let it affect you like this. You needed to confront him but a big part of you wanted to ignore him, make him come to you.
So you went to ask the only person you knew who would know the most rational thing to do, Robin. She didn’t have much experience with relationships yet she knew everything about them. It was strange really but more comforting than you thought.
You parked in front of the store and then shut the engine off before getting out and walking into the store, the bell dinging announcing your arrival. “Hi welcome to- oh hey Y/N.” A wide smile coming onto her face instead of the fake customer service smile she gave you at first.
“Hey…I hate doing while you’re working but I really need advice. Can you get Steve out here too?” Steve was like a big brother and would basically kill someone for you if motivated. Robin nodded and yelled back, causing you to slight jump at the sudden sound. “Steve! Get out here! Our girl is here and in need of help!” A crashing sound made its way across the store causing you to giggle and Robin to roll her eyes at his clumsiness.
He came out a few seconds later Huffing. “Sorry ran into a shelf. What’s up? Did someone hurt you? I’ll hunt them down. Make my words I swear I’ll-.” Robin put a hand to his chest making him shut up. “Calm down tiger. Let her talk before we threaten to kill people.” You chuckle and walk up to the counter, thankful the store was empty and hop up onto it, feet dangling over the edge. “So I uh caught Eddie and Chrissy out by our spot in the woods…” you saw both Steve and Robin tense and quickly finished before they made their final assessments. “He was doing a drug deal but that’s our specula spot. And he called her the preitedtt girl in school and she touched his hand and made no movement to reject it…” You wrung your hands together as your two best friends stared at you.
Steve tore his name tag off and tried to leave the counter but Robin dragged him back. “Uh-uh. No sir. We are working. It’s definitely not okay, girl. I would be hurt too. But I would talk to him. Confront his ass. Make him admit and make him apologize. Drug deal or not, a special space is reserved for certain people.” You nodded, sucking in your bottom lip to slightly chew on it. “I think I should beat him up. And show him what a real man is…” Steve said, hands on hips. “Okay mom.” Robin rolled her eyes again causing a scoff to come out of Steve. “I don’t think violence is the answer. Seriously hun just confront him. I know it hurts and you’re probably scared it was something more but it’s the only way you’re gonna know.” She gave you a comforting look.
You sighed and nodded, looking down at the counter. “Or you could just ignore him and get him to man up.” Steve suggested. “Because he’s coming in right now.” He scratched the back of his head. “What!?” Your head snapped up and to the side, seeing Eddie walking up to the door. “Just my fucking luck.” You mumbled and jumped down just as he was coming into the store. He looked up and made eye contact with you, a smile forming on his face at the sight of you which made you want to forgive him right then and there but you knew better. God you were sick of yourself and would rather be anyone else at this point.
He walked up to you and went to put an arm around you but you pulled away not wanting him to touch you. His smile dropped and he looked at you concerning covering his face. “Hey you okay babe?” You decided to lay it on him right there not caring that Robin and Steve were watching. All your nervousness faded in the moment knowing he wasn’t going to tell you he was with Chrissy. “No I’m not okay. But you and Chrissy seemed perfectly okay and comfy out in our spot today.” You heard your two friends gasp and you fought the urge to smile at your own behavior.
Eddie’s face dropped completely. “Y/N. I can explain that.” You did smile at that point, but there was no humor or happiness there. “I don’t need you to. I know you were doing a drug deal. But you were very cuddly out there with her. Surprised you didn’t kiss.” You sneered. “Baby let’s talk about this in private.” He whispered, going to grab your hand. You yanked it away before he made contact. “No. We can talk about it right here. What? Embarrassed in front our friends because you fucked up?”
“Y/N I’m not fucking playing with you.” He grabbed your arm and made you walk out of the store. You saw Steve making his way out from behind the counter but you put your hand up to say it was okay before you exited the store. As soon as the door shut, Eddie turned to you. “Okay I get you’re upset but trying to cause a scene. What the fuck?” He glared at you, hands fisted at his sides. “So you can recognize I’m upset and instead of apologizing, you’re trying to pull something on me? Wow.”
Eddie groaned and shut his eyes for a second, taking a deep breath before he opened them again. “God you’re infuriating. If you had just talked to me when we left, I wouldn’t be trying to pull something. But making a scene isn’t fair.” You shook your head, sucking in your lip then releasing it. “Making a scene…well when I see my boyfriend out in our favorite spot with another girl flirting. Yeah I’m gonna cause a scene.” Your voice cracked towards the end, the angry facade fading away faster than it arrived.
His face softened hearing your voice and he sighed. “Baby I wasn’t flirting with her. She was nervous and I was trying to calm her down so she would buy.” You shook your head. “I would believe that if it weren’t for the fact that you called her the prettiest girl in the school. What a way to make your girl feel good. Just leave me alone Eddie. I’m sure Chrissy would love you company.” You quickly got into your car and shut down the door. Eddie leaned down to see you through the window. “Baby hey let me explain. I didn’t mean it the way you thought I did. You know i think you’re the most beautiful girl in my eyes.”
You rolled down your window after starting your car. “No eddie. Because if that’s what you thought, you wouldn’t have told another girl the same thing. And if I hadn’t seen you guys, I  guarantee you wouldn’t have told me and I would have been clueless. So for once just back off and let me think.” You saw the hurt fill his eyes as well as regret but he stepped back and let you pull out and drive off.
You made it home and went inside ignoring your parents question on your day was. You ran up to your room and slammed the door and threw yourself onto your bed, letting all your emotions go.
You felt stupid letting something like this getting to you but he took Chrissy to your spot. You and Eddie had a lot of intense and loving moments there and it broke your heart knowing that spot was just opened to another girl. It didn’t matter that it was a drug deal for Eddie. It made you feel like shit knowing she was sitting in your spot across from your man.
You cried into to your pillow for a while before nothing else came out and exhaustion took over, causing you to sleep for the rest of the night.
By the time you woke up, it was time to get ready for school. You considered not going for two reasons. 1. You were extremely tired. 2. You didn’t want to see Eddie right now. You were still so hurt and didn’t know if you could handle it but it was Friday and then the weekend would be here so you pushed yourself to get up.
You put on Eddie’s hellfire shirt he let you have along with ripped jeans and then tied up the shirt so it didn’t hang too loose. You knew Eddie loved seeing you in his shirt so it wasn’t a lie that you were trying to get him to see you and know he fucked up.
You left your hair down and grabbed your keys after putting your converse on and leaving the house, heading to your car. You slid in and started it then pulled out of the driveway and made the drive to school.
Once you made it to school, you parked the car and got out making your way inside the school. You saw Eddie with his hellfire groupies and tried to walk fast past them. Any confidence you had vanished seeing Eddie.
Eddie saw you and his stomach turned seeing your in his shirt. “Hold that thought.” He said to dustin who was rambling about something with Suzie. He ran over to where you were and grabbed your hand. “Hey can we talk?” You turned around and he let go of your hand not wanting to push you past your comfort. “Yeah…” you said quietly.
Just as he was about to start whatever speech he had prepared, Chrissy came up with a smile on her face and tapped his shoulder. “Hey eddie. I just wanted to thank you for being so kind to me yesterday. And the stuff helped so I appreciate it.” Her eyelashes fluttered. He looked between you and Chrissy trying to figure how to approach the situation. “No problem Chrissy. Anytime.” She smiled shyly. “I was thinking and wanted to ask if you would want to go out sometime?” You scoffed and backed up. “Are you fucking kidding me bitch?”
Chrissy and Eddie both looked at you in surprise. “You know damn well he’s with me. What the hell is wrong with you? God you’re entitled.” Chrissy’s eyes widened. “Woah I didn’t know. I’m sorry but Eddie also offered for me to hang out with you guys. I guess I got the wrong idea. I’m sorry.” Eddie looked at you bewildered. “Y/N calm down. That was not necessary.” You face dropped. You couldn’t believe he was defending her. “Whatever. It doesn’t matter.” You turned on your heels and walked away, ignoring his calls for you.
You clenched your jaw and tried to stop the tears that threatened to spill over your eyes. You went to your first period and was thankful when there was a sub. You just put your head down and ignored everyone around you. The next few classes were miserable and focusing on work was hard but you pushed past.
By the time lunch came, you hoped things would be okay because this was your time to be with Eddie but when you walked in, you saw Chrissy in your spot at the hellfire table. Your breath caught in your throat and you lip quivered but you bit on it to stop it. You grabbed your lunch and looked around for somewhere to sit that wasn’t at the table. There was other spots at the same table but Chrissy didn’t belong there and you wanted your spot by your boyfriend.
You found a mostly empty table and sat down by yourself, picking at your food after you sat down. You didn’t eat a single bite and just stared off, not even bothering to look at the table. You saw someone sit in front of you and looked up. Making eye contact with Eddie, you sighed, not having the energy. “Just stop. If you want to hang out with Chrissy I’m not gonna stop you.” He looked at you sadly. “She’s not there anymore. I told her she had to go. That it was hellfire members only and that seat was yours. She left. Come over baby.”
You shook your head. “Lunch is almost over anyways. It’s fine.” He stood up and walked over to you and before you could question what he was doing, he picked you up. You gasped and he threw you over his shoulder. “Eddie I swear to god put me down!” Your face flushed with embarrassment. People were starting to stare. “No. You’re being jealous. It’s cute but kind of annoying.” He carried you out of the room despite teachers telling him to put you down. He finally set you down once you were in the secluded hallway. “I wonder why I’m being jealous. Why don’t you tell me why babe.” You said sarcastically.
He glared at you. “Stop it. I know why you’re upset and I’m sorry. I really am baby. I’m an idiot and a bad boyfriend. I shouldn’t have taken her to our spot. I don’t know why I did and when I realized I felt like shit but we were already out there.” His face softened the more he talked and you crossed your arms, hearing him out. “I love you sweetheart. You’re it for me. Chrissy is very pretty but you’re drop dead gorgeous. I let her know I couldn’t hang out with her unless you were there and she understood. I will make us a new spot that no one will ever be allowed to go beside you. Do you think you can forgive me, honey?” You looked away and sighed, trying to think of a response.
“If you don’t, I’m gonna tickle you.” You looked at him and glared. “That’s blackmail.” He raised his eyebrows and when you didn’t say anything, he shot forward and started trickling your sides. You started laughing and squirming. “Okay okay! I forgive you!” You giggled and he stopped immediately then pulled you to him and and hugged you. “Good. I really am sorry baby.” You nodded and buried your face in his chest. “I know. It’s okay.” He rubbed your back and rested his head on yours. “Well I’ll take you to our new spot today after school. Sound good?” You nodded against him and he kissed your head.
The bell rang which signaled lunch was over and you and Eddie walked to your next class together. “You’re cute when you’re jealous.” He chuckled and you hit hit his arm. “Shut up.” You said and he wrapped an arm around you waist and walked inside the classroom with you.
The rest of the day went by fast and it was a good end to the day. Eddie ended up taking you to a spot by lovers lake where there was a log that sat perfectly in between the trees to where the lake was visible from where you sat. It was beautiful and you couldn’t ask for anything better than to sit there watching the sunset with the love of your life.
