#Eddie has an overactive brain it’s why he’s so good with stories

Other parts: One, Two, Three

Eddie Munson is determined and he has a plan. It’s very much thrown together and involves a lot of yelling on his part towards a certain teenager. But he has a plan, maybe.

At least, he has the start of a plan.

After leaving Steve’s house, which took a lot to physically do. He might’ve lingered a little too long in their hug, squeezed a little too tight. Repeated promises and made a new one to be with him the next day.

When he closed the front door behind himself, he had to fight himself to move forward. It took a while to talk himself out of just turning back around and grabbing Steve, to take him away from his house, to get a head start on those promises.

There’s a little tiny idea in the back of his head that maybe someday he won’t have to leave Steve’s side at all. That promise of forever lingering in that idea, sparking up in hope with how Steve held on to him.

Maybe Steve wants the same just as much as him.

For now, he’ll be a good friend that’s starting to lean into being overprotective. Maybe a little clingy on top of that, he did notice the way Steve relaxed faster when they were touching.

After pacing in his room, muttering bits of pieces of his plan to get it together, he finally decided to get some sleep and it wasn’t much at that. His overactive brain keeping him from fully relaxing, too focused on Steve and how exactly he’ll help. Not just with words; the promises. Those he’s already good at. It’s the actions part that has him baffled and thinking it over and over.

Actions has always been rough for him, he's the story teller; can come up with things off the top of his head. It's always been easier for him to speak things out. Running is his thing, granted the most recent he ran; it landed him in a hospital bed for a while. But it also lead him to this moment too, so maybe it wasn't all that bad.

There’s another thing of if he should tell their friends or if he should keep it to himself. He doesn’t want to break Steve’s trust. Doesn’t want to share something that isn’t his secret to tell, doesn’t want to push Steve to saying it either.

He knows what it’s like for someone to break your trust. Knows how it feels when someone gets to know your insecurities and how some people, even friends, can just take it and hurt you the most.

Though there’s always other ways to help them figure it out before he goes on with his plan.

So, how does one hint something to some of the smartest people he knows?

hopefully it's up to everyone's exceptions. 🙈

hey, you know the thing about unreliable narrators? yeah that would be me. not eddie tho, he was going somewhere with his line of thinking. also i realized half way into writing this that i never actually planned out eddie's plan fully like at all 🫠. so we'll come back to that next time.

just know our boy (eddie) is so stubborn.
