summary: you and eddie are "just friends", but he wants more.
(1)
The day you joined Hellfire Club was the first day in the entire club’s history that a girl had shown interest in D&D. Eddie was ecstatic, to say the least, but maintained composure while you stood by the end of the lunch table in your pleated black skirt and tank top.
“Membership comes with protection,” he began, hands splayed out to reveal 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 rings adorning his fingers, as he pulled himself up out of his seat. “In return, you will not miss a night. Should there be an ‘emergency’,” - he added air quotes - “you must provide a substitute in your absence. Upon entry into the club, the dress code on campaign nights include one of these bad boys,” he rolled the cotton fabric of his own black and white tee between his fingers. “Which you will be provided.”
You stood awkwardly, watching the ogling eyes of the other boys as they looked you up and down. You felt uncomfortable suddenly, pulling the hem of your skirt down. “How does that sound?” His voice was sweet, as he extended a hand to you. “You in?”
“Are they gonna stop fuckin’ staring at me like that?” You made a gesture to the rest of the members, who immediately averted their eyes. A smile played on your lips, as Eddie blushed red with embarrassment. “They’re not used to seeing a woman that’s not in a porno mag. I apologize on their behalf.” Eddie had always been nice to you, mostly because you’d let him cheat off of your tests in middle school, for no reason other than being kind of a troublemaker at heart.
“I’m in,” your hand slapped against his, shaking it once, meeting his excited brown eyes. “First meeting’s on Friday. I’ll bring you a shirt tomorrow, meet us here at lunch.”
You let your eyes rake over his form, pulling your glossy pink bottom lip between your teeth. “Can’t wait.”

After your first successful campaign with Hellfire, the rain began to pour down just as you were gearing up to leave. Most of the other members filed out of the school’s theatre space, bidding Eddie goodbye and making their way towards the last running busses of the night. Most of the kids were going home to family dinners or nights of homework, but you nor Eddie had anything planned, so you elected to stay behind with him and help clean up the remainder of the game.
“Good first time?” He asked, his signature smirk once again playing on his lips. “You’re pretty good.”
You reached up on your tip-toes to pull down some of the candles. “I loved it,” you remarked, looking back at Eddie’s form. “The campaign you came up with was great. And when Dustin rolled that 13?” His long hair began to shake as he nodded his head.
“Fuckin’ priceless.” You put the candles into the cardboard box where you kept the other club merchandise, meeting eyes with Eddie once again. “You don’t have to, uh… stick around.” He gestured vaguely to the area around him. “I got this.”
“Nowhere I gotta be,” you remarked. “And it’s shitty outside.” Eddie agreed, putting the rest of the character pieces in a small plastic bag before throwing them in the box and stashing it away under a bench. “Can’t argue with that.”
“You want a ride home?” You jingled your keys on your pointer finger. “It’s the least I can do.”
Eddie grabbed his leather jacket from the back of his chair, while you threw your own over your shoulders. “That… would be nice. Yeah.”
Your car wasn’t nice, by any stretch, but it got you from point A to point B. Not only that, but you’d put in an aftermarket stereo system that made all of your cassette tapes sound really fucking good.
“Tapes are in the console,” your car roared to life, as you immediately turned on the windshield wipers. Eddie opened it gingerly, fingering through the selection. You began reversing, turning onto the Main Street. “Metallica?” He asked, holding up one of the tapes quizzically. “Put it in.”
“Little surprising,” he remarked, before sliding the tape into your car’s player. “Didn’t take you as a Metallica fan. Considering you’re still wearing a skirt and knee socks in the fucking rain,” his tone was lighthearted and gentle, much different to his outward appearance. “I am not as I seem,” you said slyly, turning up the radio to an inconceivable volume. He began banging his head to the beat in the seat beside you, revealing his devilish smile once again. You took a hard right down the dirt road ahead, letting the music overtake you both.

Tendrils of smoke floated into the night air as you and Eddie sat by your basement window. You coughed a few times, looking for some reprieve from Eddie as you handed the joint to him. “S’nice,” You offered in a choked voice.
“If you’re not chokin’, you’re not smokin’!” He mused, laughing as he took a long drag from his own lips. He was an expert at this, judging by the way he perfectly inhaled the smoke and blew it out smoothly. He waved away some of the extra, trying to mitigate the smell as much as possible. “You’re sure your parents don’t care if we smoke in the house? Can’t have ‘em hate me,” he remarked. You recovered from your small coughing fit and flopped down on the couch. “Outta town.” He seemed happy enough with that answer, taking one more small puff before flipping the rest of the joint out of the window.
“Now what?” He asked, jumping on your old couch amusedly. “Pillow fight? Tell each other secrets?”
You rolled your eyes, pushing on his shoulder lightly. “We could watch a movie,” you gestured to the TV that was perched on a small stand across from the couch. “I forced Harrington to rent me Day of the Dead.”
It’s not that your couch was too small, but Eddie had a large and gangly frame that took up most of it. Especially when he was being an asshole, and stretching himself out to his heart’s content. “Sounds good.” His eyes watched your body as you popped the movie in, lifting up his legs and socked feet to position yourself under him. “Fucking move,” you laughed, dropping his legs back on your lap. “Christ. You’re so… long.”
“Fuck off,” his high was beginning to hit him now, making his voice sound raspy. “The fuck you mean long? What does that mean?” The giggles began to wrack through you, your high also beginning to hit you like a freight train. “You’re just… big. Tall.” You made vague gestures with your hands. “Well, thanks, I guess.” He looked bewildered, but also rather enamoured with you. Glossy brown eyes met yours as you let your laugh phase out, offering a small smile and a redirection to the TV.
About halfway through the movie you let your body relax into the couch more, nodding off. Eddie wasn’t too far behind you, but noticed your sleeping form when he turned to made another stupid remark about the movie. “Oh, shit,” he said quietly, looking around the darkness of your unfamiliar basement. He switched the TV off, letting his feet pad on the carpet below him.
Your soft snores filled the basement, as he slowly slid his hands under your knees and upper back. “Up we go,” he said quietly, more to himself, than to anyone else.
He slowly picked your body up, walking at a snail’s pace up the stairs, making extra sure not to hit your feet (or head, more importantly) on the walls.
By the time he’d made it up to your bedroom, he was embarrassingly a little out of breath. He laid you gently atop your sheets, gingerly removing his hands and lightly pulling a blanket over your body. He thinks that, by some miracle, he’s avoided waking you up despite the two flights of very narrow stairwells in your home. He grabbed his jean jacket off the chair in your bedroom, throwing it over his shoulders before turning to leave.
“Eddie?”
Your voice was soft, sleepy, and slightly strained from the bit of smoking you’d done earlier.
“Yeah, sweetheart?”
“Stay,” you patted the area next to you, pulling the blankets back. “S’fine. Too late to go home.”
Eddie was frozen in time, watching as you slid under the covers yourself and fell back into deep snores just as quickly as you’d awoken. He pulled his jacket off again, ruffling his hair lightly and pushing up his sleeves. “Uh, okay,” he said quietly. “It’s fine, that’s fine.”
Your bed was fitted with soft, warm sheets and perfectly fluffed pillows. He attempted not to make any contact with your body, not really knowing the etiquette of sharing a bed with you. This was a first.
Just then, you rolled over, slinging an arm against the smallest part of his waist. You pulled yourself into his back, letting his hair tickle your nose a little, breathing in his scent of laundry shampoo.
“Night,” you said quietly. He softened immediately, letting his eyes droop closed. “Night.”
(191)
“What are we here for again?”
Eddie was pushing the shopping cart with his forearms down the aisle, watching as you inspected the furniture. “I want a new desk,” you sighed again. “You didn’t have to come if you didn’t want to.”
“You know I have nothing better to do,” he laughed, picking up a plant pot and inspecting it like a child. “What’s this for?”
“Did you read the sign?” You pointed incredulously to the sign right above his head, reading, very simply, ‘small plant pot’.
“I never actually passed English, remember?” You laughed, a little too loud. “That doesn’t mean you can’t read, Munson,” your voice was incredulous. “Jesus. I worry about you sometimes.”
“We should test the beds.” He pointed to the freshly made display beds in the store, all with decorative pillows and thick comforters. You wiggled your eyebrows at him, making kiss faces as he realized what he implied. “Not like that, fuckin’ sicko.” He pushed the cart into an empty part of the store.
“If you wanna fuck me, just say that,” you laughed, with a small brush to his arm and a skip away to the first bed. “Maybe this one?”
He let his body flop down on it, soft sheets engulfing his frame. His hair came to the front of his face as he made spitting noises to get it out of his mouth. “This one’s eating me. I don’t like it.”
You propped yourself up on your elbow, looking down at him. You pushed the dark hair out of his face to reveal his warm smile, as well as his deep brown eyes looking right into yours. You watched him swallow as his eyes searched your face, an endeared smirk playing on the edge of your lip.
Eddie was at a loss of breath, looking into your eyes and taking in your features. Hair falling in front of your face, thick lashes with coats of mascara making them look long. Your signature pink lipgloss made your lips look impossibly juicy, and kissable.
“Feeling… suffocated?” You giggled, before jumping off and moving to the next bed. You continued to jump on beds with him until an employee finally starting giving you death glares, to which you responded by taking your cart and running through the remainder of the store with it.
“Hey! No running! Idiots,” you heard a nasally voice of an employee in the background yelling, but you were too busy chasing Eddie with a shopping cart to give a shit.
(248)
When Steve’s parents went out of town, you knew you had to beg him to host the party of the century.
“It’s Eddie’s birthday and Halloween!” You pleaded over the counter of the Family Video. “You can invite Robin or Chrissy or Nancy or whoever,” your eyes shone in the light as you fisted the edges of his vest. “Please. I’ll get the booze, I don’t care. Just bring everyone.”
Steve rolled his eyes. “Fine. But you owe me, big time.” You began to jump up and down. “Halloween night. My place. Make sure Eddie doesn’t know a thing.”
(262)
You had just finished up the blood-red punch and set out a huge array of snacks, including all of Eddie’s favourites. “Is he on his way?” Steve asked, with a kitchen towel over his shoulder. He was wearing his old Scoops Ahoy uniform, with the buttons left open and fake blood pouring down his chest and from the corners of his mouth. “Should be about five minutes, Dustin said they’d be here at 9:00 sharp.”
You smoothed out the long black dress that hugged your body perfectly, and puffed your black wig in the mirror. The house was bustling with people, all of Eddie’s best friends, excited to spend the evening celebrating the joint celebration. “Shhh! Sh!” You noticed Eddie’s van start to pull into Steve’s driveway, bumping with loud music playing inside. Dustin jumped out first, in a perfectly accurate Ghostbuster’s costume. Eddie followed behind him, in a pair of small circular sunglasses and a long black coat. His usual rings, plus a few new ones, were slid along his long fingers. You’d basically never seen him in anything other than his Hellfire Club tee, and you had to admit, he looked pretty great in all black.
Everyone ducked behind the couch and chairs, lights flickering off just in time. The house was eerily quiet, as Dustin opened the door for Eddie.
“Why the fuck-,” Eddie was caught off guard by the lights suddenly turning on, music beginning to play seemingly from nowhere, and all of his friends jumping out from behind the couches.
His eyes locked on you first, as you ran towards him and wrapped your arms around his neck for a hug. “Surprise!”
Eddie looked sufficiently surprised, to say the least. His friends erupted into claps and cheers as they descended into “party mode”, dancing along to the loud music and beginning to snack on the huge array of food.
“Dustin, you shit,” he punched him lightly on the arm. “You fuckin’ tricked me. I didn’t know this was a Halloween slash Birthday party,” he looked excited, and a little bit moved by the sheer amount of love and support from his friends. “Thanks,” he said to you earnestly, pulling you into a warm hug. His big hand splayed across the small of your back, as you ruffled his hair lightly. “Love the costume, too,” he spun you around. “Morticia Addams was my sexual awakening.” You erupted into laughter, leading him to the punch table. “That explains a lot. Let’s go, Ozzy.”
As the night went on, people got progressively drunker. Eddie and Mike were arguing about D&D rules on the couch, while you and some of the other club members were chugging punch in Steve’s kitchen.
Speaking of Steve, you hadn’t seen him in a while. You’d imagined the possibility of getting into a steamy make-out session with him tonight, given his general nature to start giving out random compliments and flirtatious gestures when he was wasted. It wasn’t that you were actively crushing on Steve, but he had certainly caught your eye, especially since you’d gotten closer with the entire friend group of his over the past few months.
Eddie noticed you were looking around, and he was hoping it was for him. After all of this you’d done for him, there was no way that you weren’t crushing on him a little bit. Right?
Right?
He hadn’t had a lot of experience with girls in the past, especially actually getting anywhere with them, but over the last months hanging out and getting to know you, he was almost sure that you were interested in him too. Late nights in your bedroom, spending time smoking outside after Hellfire, countless afternoons skipping class… he was so sure.
When Steve emerged from the hallway, and you grabbed onto the hem of his open shirt, pulling him back into the dimly lit kitchen, his heart fell deep into the pit of his stomach.
The sound of the music tuned out of his ears as he watched what little he could see in the reflection of the window. He watched as Steve backed you against a wall, your body curved into his, displaying the top of your breasts and soft neck. Eddie couldn’t help but stare.
He felt sick. Annoyed, bothered, upset, all at once. Being crossfaded wasn’t helping with his emotional regulation either, his hands balling up into fists as he watched Steve kiss your lips fervently. It was in secret, no one was supposed to see, but he did. And he wasn’t having fun anymore.
He grabbed a small joint from his coat pocket and made his way to Steve’s bathroom. He closed the door and opened the small window, taking in the smell of air freshener and soap. Steve’s bathroom was his only reprieve from this stupid party anyway, as he flicked his lighter on and let the smoke blow out the window.
It’s not that Eddie was like, crazy in love with you, or whatever. But he had, unfortunately, happened to develop a crush that was sort of taking over his life.
When he’d finally contained himself and come out of the bathroom, you were in the dark hallway just about to go in. “Hey!” You said excitedly, pulling him by the collar of his coat into a darker area.
“Having fun?” You asked, slurred and sloppy, a little bit of Steve’s fake blood on the corner of your lip. “I know you’re not big on parties. I’m hoping this was the exception.”
His face softened as his eyes wandered over your face, moving from the red pout of your lips to your chest. That black dress really did fit you absolutely perfectly.
When he looked back up, your face was very close to his. He could barely register what was happening before you pressed your lips to his, soft, and gentle.
He savoured the taste of punch on your lips, as you let a finger curl around the long chains around his neck. He wanted more, needed more, but couldn’t bring himself to touch you.
When you pulled away, you wiped some of the red lipstick off his chin. “Sorry,” you laughed, drunkenly. “I get excited when I drink.”
“S’fine,” he also slurred, still feeling dizzy.
“Can we forget that happened?” You asked, letting your hand rest atop his chest. His heart was beating impossibly fast.
“Sure,” he said quietly. “Forgotten.”
(370)
“Hold still,” you uttered softly. “It hurts more when you move.”
“Fucking christ,” he seethed, holding his arm out to you. “Hurts so fuckin’ bad.”
“I told you motorcycles were dangerous. Yet, here we are,” you dotted a white washcloth onto his bruised and bloody arm. His face had a large gash, a few rocks embedded in the tortured skin. He’d also ripped a sizeable hole in his jeans.
You motioned for him to get up off the side of his bath tub. “Let’s get you rinsed off.” His eyes widened, as you reached over and turned on the shower.
He put the rag on the side of the sink, letting it drip. It was now stained crimson red. He motioned for you to leave the room, but was met with the vision of you pulling your t-shirt off to reveal a black bra. He felt his pace quicken, memorizing the way your skin looked.
“Uh, what are you…” he started, not being able to avert his gaze. “Get in, loser,” you took off your pants and threw them to the side. His face looked confused, and you took notice. “We’re friends, Eddie. You’ve seen me in worse, I’m sure.”
He began to take off his t-shirt, pushing off his jeans and wincing at the pain of the fabric going over his wound. He was confused, but wasn’t going to pass off the opportunity to take a shower with you. He stripped to his boxers, stepping into the hot water.
The steam rose around you like a halo, your hair wet, plastered to the sides of your face. Your bra and underwear were now soaking, and he felt himself get dizzy with lust.
“Here,” you switched places with him, placing him under the hot water. He winced once again, the shower hitting his wounds and making them feel unbelievably tender.
You took your hand and placed it on his face, pushing the wet hair out of the way. He turned his face slightly, revealing his jaw and and neck, littered with small freckles and sun spots. The water was pouring down in droplets, as he sucked air through his teeth.
“It hurts, like a lot,” he said quietly. “I know,” you answered, putting your hand up against the wound, making sure to clean it as best as you could. “I’ll take care of you. Don’t worry.”
Your hands grazed over his skin, washing away the dried blood and bits of debris. He was watching you intently, eyes following your every movement. “Feel better?” You asked over the sound of the shower slacking against the walls. Eddie had zoned out, watching as you leant down and began to clean out the gash by his knee.
“Yeah, uh,” he cleared his throat, awkwardly. “Much better.”
“Turn,” you instructed, getting the back of the wound. Water rolled down his shoulders and back, glistening and warm, helping him relax. His shoulders were broad, and gave heaviness to his frame.
“I think I’m done,” you stood back up to your full height. His wet hair stuck to the sides of his face and you couldn’t help but giggle. “You look like a sad puppy, you poor thing,” he frowned, only for it to be replaced with a bashful smile. “Fuck off, get me outta here.”
(490)
The one bar in Hawkins, where much of the town usually gathered on Friday nights, was unusually quiet as you and Eddie sat in your two favourite spots. An order of fries, and two beers, sat between you and him, as he leaned back in the hightop chair.
“They’re playing in Indianapolis on the 27th. We can drive there in the morning, make the concert, and get home before sunrise. You won’t have to miss a day!” Eddie was so excited about the prospect of a road trip that he was almost yelling, so you quieted him down with a gentle wave of your hand. “I know, in theory, we could,” you started. “But do you really wanna drive all night just to go to work at 9am, on zero sleep?”
Eddie took a crispy hot fry from the basket and bit the end. It immediately burned his tongue, and he winced.
“I don’t give a fuck if I’m tired, I need to see them,” he leaned back, paying attention to the TV above the bar.
You turned your attention to your drink, before someone slid into the seat next to you.
“Hey,” an older male voice was heard, and you turned to look at whoever it was that was attempting to speak to you.
“Don’t see a lotta women drinking beer in this town,” he began. A silver haired man, much older than you, with a plaid shirt and a stench of cigarettes.
“There’s at least three in this bar right now,” you laughed, taking time to look around the bar in an exaggerated display of annoyance.
Eddie looked over at you, ready to say something, when he noticed that you were talking to this random guy. The hair on the back of his neck immediately stood up.
“Can I get you another one?” the older man motioned to your half empty pint class.
“Not interested, thanks,” you replied simply, turning your back to curve closer to Eddie. You could tell he was on the defensive.
The man sitting next to you snorted, pushing back the chair he was sitting in, making a noise that made the bar patrons stare. “Okay, bitch,” he muttered. “Just trying to be nice.”
Eddie immediately stood up, walking right up to the guy with raised brows. “What the fuck did you just say?”
The bartender turned around to watch the scene unfold, as your harasser began to laugh. “I said she’s bein’ a bitch,” he spat, and that was enough for Eddie to cock his fist and punch him, the man easily falling to the ground.
Your hands flew over your mouth in shock, as Eddie shook out his hand. The man stayed on the ground, bewildered and confused. You could see blood begin to coat Eddie’s knuckles.
“Out!” The bartender pointed to the large wooden double doors.
You grabbed your purse from the back of your chair, pulling Eddie by the arm into the desolate parking lot, the sky painted a dark blue above.
When you made it out to your car and unlocked the door, Eddie stood in place. “Fuck that guy, right?” He sounded incredulous, but seemed immediately confused that you weren’t reciprocating.
“Yeah. Fuck that guy. But fuck you too, man,” you opened the car door to throw your purse in the front seat. “What was that all about? I had it under control.”
He shook his head, becoming more and more confused. “I totally saved your ass back there,” he started, stepping towards you. “That dude was being an asshole.”
“Yeah, and I was dealing with it,” you spat. “I don’t need you to do shit like that for me. I can fight my own battles, thank you very much.”
Eddie’s look softened. He was hurt by your tone. “I never said you couldn’t. You’re badass. I just…” he trailed off.
“You just what, Eddie? Saw someone hitting on me, and just had to step in? Had to be my saviour like you fucking own me? We’re friends Eddie. Just friends.”
His face began to blush with embarrassment, knowing the word vomit that was about to come out. But he was upset, and he couldn’t help it. Over a year of pent up emotion, sexual tension, and pining. And it was call coming out. Right now.
“Friends?” He asked, stepping towards you again. “Just fucking friends? I wanna know which of your other friends you share a bed with, huh?” His voice was taunting. “I wanna know which friends you kiss when you’re slurring your words and too drunk to stand.” Hot tears brimmed his eyes, and you could see his anger bubbling inside of him.
“I asked you to forget about that.”
“Yeah, well, I didn’t! I didn’t forget. I also didn’t forget about mattress shopping and smoke sessions after Hellfire.” He took a heaving breath. “Movie nights and birthday parties and Halloween… and I certainly didn’t forget about that little shower stunt, you think I can’t clean a fuckin’ cut by myself?” He ran his hand over his face. “We’re not just fucking friends. We’re so, so much more than that.”
You were speechless, letting the soft wind blow your hair into the night sky. Eddie stood there, in front of you, his shoulders slumped. He’d obviously exhausted most of his energy with his monologue.
“I just don’t think about it like that, Eddie. I never thought about us like that. I’m sorry.” Your face was stoic.
Eddie’s hand found his hair, as he stepped back onto the gravel parking lot. “Whatever. I did. So, do with that what you will.”
You let a few tears fall down your cheeks, feeling utterly embarrassed and awkward at Eddie’s confession. You opened the driver’s side door and slid into the seat. Eddie stood in front of the car, hopeless, with a look of bewilderment and sadness. He looked like a puppy that you’d abandoned at the shelter.
Your car wheels made a soft crackle as you pulled out of the parking spot, starting back on your journey to your house.
(491)
You picked up the phone and dialled Eddie’s number, waiting patiently for the call to connect.
“Hello?”
“Dustin! Hey, hey, it’s (Y/N),” you bit your lip. “Is Eddie there?”
There was a silence on the other line.
“No, he’s not.”
“Are you lying?”
Another silence.
“No.”
“Fine. If you are lying, tell him to call me back, okay?”
“Sure.”
“Thanks.”
(492)
You called Eddie’s number again, only to be met with the dial tone.
(500)
After a while of not speaking to Eddie, you decided just to show up to his trailer instead of waiting for him to answer your numerous phone calls.
Your car pulled onto the soft grass, looking for any sign of his presence. The van was gone, but you hadn’t spoken to him in a while, and now was the time to finish this, once and for all.
You walked up the small steps and knocked on his door, hearing only silence on the other side. You knocked again, harder this time, sighing, frustratedly.
“Coming!”
As Eddie opened the door, he was pulling a loose white t-shirt over his torso. He wore black and white plaid pajamas, with red puffy cheeks and sleepy eyes. You stood, staring for a minute, waiting to be invited.
“Hey.”
“Hey.”
Silence.
“Can I come in?”
“Sure.”
The tensions in the room were high as Eddie moved out of the way, letting you slide past him into the small living room.
“Look, we don’t have to-,” he went to close the door.
“Stop. We do. I’m sorry for freaking out on you.” He softened, his shoulders releasing the weight they’d been holding for days.
“I shouldn’t have punched that guy. I got… defensive and upset.” He stepped towards you. “And my weird love confession, I didn’t mean to… put you on the spot like that. I was thinking it was more than it was.”
You sighed, fidgeting with your fingers. “It wasn’t weird. It was sweet. I just… hadn’t thought about it like that. From your perspective.”
Eddie waved his hands in the air, metaphorically clearing it.
“We can just forget about it. I’ve been miserable the last week. Dustin gets on my nerves and he knows nothing about girls, so he was zero help.”
You laughed, arms opening for a hug. Eddie stepped forward, dipping his head to land on your shoulder as you pulled him in close. You could smell his shampoo and cologne, along with his lilac laundry detergent.
He squeezed you tightly, as your heels came up off the ground to meet his height.
As you pulled away from him, your arms stayed slung around his shoulders. Your hands came to cup his face, his soft stubble under your fingers as your thumb slid across his jaw. His hands stayed locked at your sides.
Your eyes searched his, not being able to deny the tension that remained. He looked down at you, wanting, needing you, as you smashed your lips into his.
His lips were softer than you’d expected, plush and pink. He tasted of toothpaste.
You deepened the kiss, stumbling back onto his couch and letting his body flop onto yours. Your hands moved from his face down his sides, to the warm skin under his t-shirt. He dipped his tongue onto your lip, before you pushed yours against it. It was so much better than you’d imagined, and judging by the soft moans Eddie was making, he thought so too.
When he finally pulled away, he was breathing heavily, a dopey smile on his lips.
“But we can just be friends, though?”
You rolled your eyes, hitting his chest before balling the collar of his t-shirt in your hand, pulling him closer.
“Too soon. Shut up and kiss me again.”
