I awaken to light shining in through the window and thinking I'm in My room at home I sit up and stretch before I rub my eyes and look around noticing that I'm not at home and am infact on Eddie fucking Munsons couch... I look towards the clock that reads 10 o'clock AM I look down again and notice the pillow and blanket blushing "he... brought a pillow and blanket out to me?" I say to myself in a whisper. I hear a chuckle from the kitchen and get up off the couch stretching again before walking into their kitchen. There I see eddie pouring two bowls of cereal. "Mornin sunshine" he says looking up at me with a smile. I blush and look away
"M-morning Eddie" I say walking over to him. "What time did I fall asleep eds?" I ask taking the bowl of cereal he offered me. "Honey combs?" I question smiling it was my favorite cereal. He smiles and nods coming to sit at the table.
"You fell asleep around 2:30 I think I was gonna wake you but you looked so cute sleeping on my shoulder~" he says to which I choke on the air around me blushing wildly.
"I'm SO sorry I had no idea I'd passed out like that!" I say panicking trying to make sure he didn't think I was weird. He shakes his head laughing.
"It's fine pumpkin. I really didn't mind, as I said you're really cute when you're sleeping, well you're cute all the time but even more so when you sleep" he says apparently not hearing the words coming out of his face. I blush and look at him as he talks so sweet about me. I feel my heart swell as his eyes light up and then he looks at me blushing.
"You're... actually a really sweet guy Eddie" I say with a smile looking back to my cereal eating while my heart beats out if my chest. I can feel him watching me and the blush creeps up to my ears then down my neck.
"You mean that sweetheart?" He says with a smile in his voice I turn and nod up at him with red painting my face. He smiles and takes a few bites while I go back to my cereal. God I liked him... I'd liked him since my first day at Hawkins and liked him even more now. I knew he'd never like me back, I mean how could he... I'm just me. And he's Eddie fucking Munson. He's probably not even gay I'd seen him talk to Chrissy Cunningham a few times and I'm certain that he likes her. And yet here I am in his house, eating his cereal, and getting complimented by him. I keep thinking these self depreciating thoughts until he speaks up again. "You got plans today? Cause see I was wondering if you'd wanna hang out... I have band practice today and we always love having an audience.. and just I don't want to watch you walk into your house yet.." He says nervously and I look over at him wildly
"M-me?" I say nervous to which he turns and nods blushing I blush and look at his eyes before looking away quickly "n-no I don't have plans but I need to change clothes..." I say smiling. He smiles giddily
"YOU CAN WEAR MY CLOTHES!" He yells already standing. "Come on let's go find something that'll fit." He says dragging me to his room. A room that smells just like him and only him. I look around breathing In deeply. He starts digging through his clothes holding different shirts up to me excitedly finally finding one that looks like it'll fit and handing it to me. I smile at him internally dying. He's letting ME where HIS clothes... Holy shit. He then moves to pants to which I shake my head
"I-I think I can just wear my pants eds" I say letting the nickname slip. He smiles and looks at me nodding.
"You're right, don't think I have jeans that'll fit you sweetheart~" he says with a smirk placing his hands on my hips. I blush again and look away and he chuckles letting go. "Go ahead and go to the bathroom and change he says with his signature smile pushing me towards the bathroom in the hall. Once inside I pull off my sweatshirt and pull on his t shirt basking in the way the fabric felt against my skin the only thought in my head being "Eddie Munson wears this shirt to school all the time...." I look at myself in the mirror and how the shirt was a little too big for me before stepping out of the bathroom smacking right into Eddie's chest. He laughs placing a hand on my back as I step back blushing. "You okay pumpkin?" He asks trying to make eye contact with me. "I was just about to knock and ask if you were ready to go yet hun sorry for making you run into me." He says apologetically to which I nod
"Just let me get shoes then I'll be ready to go." I say with a bright smile. And he grins jumping around. I giggle and follow him inti the livingroom where I get my beat up chuck Taylors and put then on tying them securely and standing back up. He holds the door open and we're off to get in his van. Once on the road he turns to me and starts talking again. "My bandmates can get a little intense and.... gross. so if they start asking you gross questions and getting in your face just pretend you don't hear them... they're gonna be weird." He says looking back to the road as he warns me about his bands apparent bad behavior.
"Yes sir." I joke laughing. He tenses and looks over at me which I see out of the corner of my eye as I watch the road around us. He shifts in his seat as we pull into the driveway of someone's house and park. Eddie opens his door and gets out as one of his band mates runs up and fist bumps him. They start talking as I get out and close the van door standing there. It's then that I realize what I got myself into and remember how shy I am. I stand there frozen contemplating getting back into the van just as Eddie locks it. I groan standing there watching the ground as a pair of arms slink around my torso and I'm lifted off the ground. I squeal and thrash around before I'm sat back on the ground Eddie and his friend laughing.
"Sorry pumpkin, just thought you looked cute~" he says as they walk off to the garage that I only just now realized was full of instruments and that Eddie had a guitar strapped to his back. I stand there frozen for a little longer dreading this before beginning to walk over to the garage. Eddie waves me over which I gladly accept as he's the only one here that even know a little bit about as I walk over he pulls me to his chest and presents me with his arms outstretched "I bring a sacrifice! He's here to be our audience. This is (Y/N) he's mine." He says as the band Rolls their collective eyes.
"Yeah whatever Munson, let's just get started!" One of them says to which I hear Eddie pout and he places his chin on my head.
"Come on (Y/N)." He says leading you to a chair in the sun and sitting you down. "Look if Jeff comes and talks to you just pretend you're not there, okay babe?" He asks with both hands on my shoulders looking me in the eyes. I blush trying to avoid eye contact but smile regardless.
"Okay Edds." I say shivering as the breeze blows against my skin. He smiles shedding his jacket and handing it to me.
"Here princess." He says patting me on the head walking away to go start practice. He doesn't swing that way he doesn't swing that way he doesn't swing that way. I berate myself mentally until I'm drawn out of my thoughts by the first few notes of a song I don't recognize. I soon find myself watching Eddie's hands and skillful fingers watching him and how the guitar responds to his strumming. Oh what those fingers could do to me. How they'd feel wrapped around me and the cold metals stark contrast to my hot skin. How he'd feel pressed against me... how he'd feel inside of me. Oh God how wonderful that would be, I wish for it to happen. How i wish to confess how much I like him and get it over with. But deep down I know I never will. I'll never get the chance to be with him. He's just flirty, and he's probably sweet to everyone. Why would he like me? He's Eddie Munson for fuck sake. And I'm just.. me, (Y/N, L/N) a little gay bookworm from (STATE). I'm interrupted in my thoughts as a hands claps down on my shoulder causing my head to snap up in surprise as one of Eddie's friends looks down at me.
"Im Jeff, I saw you watchin Eddster really really hard, what you got a crush on him or somethin." He asks to which I look up at him wide eyed blushing.
"W-what?! No I I wasn't watching him I I was listening to you guys play" I say looking away unable to make eye contact.
"Yeah okay whatever, Eddie has this monster crush on you man. I'm sure of it. He never shuts up about you ever since you moved here its been nothing but longing stares and (Y/N) this and (Y/N) that." He says flicking my forhead to which I scoff and look away crossing my arms.
"I assure you he doesn't like me. He's just flir-" another hand gently lays on my shoulder causing me to pause and look over to the other being seeing eddie and immediately smiling.
"Hey pumpkin, it's time to go. Practice is over" I smile and look up at him nodding confused as to how practice could have gone by so fast.
"How long did ya'll practice?" I ask confused. Recieving a look from Jeff as he walks off to go pack up his stuff.
"Like an hour... were you not paying attention?" He asks pouting to which I quickly reach up and pet his head
"Ofcourse I was I guess I just zoned out really hard..." I say petting him like a dog. When I realize what I'm doing I pull my hand back and he smiles. Pulling me up out of the chair and into a bone crushing hug. Pulling me towards the van. I giggle play fighting against him while the band watches us interact. As we get to the van he smiles and opens the door for me
"After you milord.." He says motioning to the car I giggle and hop it letting him close the door. He goes around to his side and hops in aswell starting thevengine and pulling away from the house. "Have fun love?" He asks to which I hum a positive. He grins and keeps driving. "Hungry? Or do you want me to take you home?" He asks looking over to me briefly.
"I gotta go home.." I trail off pouting. He nods understanding.
"What's your address baby?" He asks, I tell him and he drives that way. "You're mom's probably worried sick that you didn't come home last night." he says smiling as he pulls up outside my house. It's a two story with a nice yard and a big red door. I get out of the car and wave to him as I close the door behind him and hurry through my front door closing it behind me and sliding down to the ground against it on the other side sighing. I wish I could just tell him... but it doesn't look like I'll ever be able to do that. I push myself up and head upstairs to my bedroom closing the door behind me and looking down realizing I'm wearing his shirt.
"Shit..." I say outloud looking down from my window to see if he was still out there so I could give it back to him. But as fate would have it he's gone. I throw myself back onto my bed and pull out a book from my bedside table and begin to read until evening when my mom gets home from work. I go downstairs and help her cook dinner and then shower and go to bed dreaming of Eddie "the freak" Munson.
About two weeks go by of this. Meeting after school to study twice a week and going to his band practices. By this point the two of us have become pretty close almost always hanging out. Which is not helping my feelings for him. They're growing by the day and at this point I can say I'm completely in love with him. Too bad he's not gay.
