Hi Anna!!! I have a question for you. I came across a gifset of 6x09, the phone call where Buck tells Hen, Chim, and Eddie about the baby. Eddie sure didn't stick around for that conversation! He's visibly a bit bothered by it, but he doesn't say anything. And I think that's because he's trying not to steer Buck in any direction now like previous events, but I just think he has SOMETHING to say about it! Anyway, do you think he would bring it up at any point and would it create problems for Buddie?
Muah!
Hi, baby <3
Okay, long story short: unless the baby becomes a thing that's actively harming Buck, I don't think Eddie is gonna say anything. It's done, the baby exists, he is not a possibility, he is an actual human out in the world so whatever feelings he may have about whether or not that was a good idea don't matter, because he's not an idea anymore. And even if we end up with buddie and somehow that kid becomes a conversation topic, it's not Eddie's place to say Buck shouldn't have done it, and he knows it, I think that's why he acts the way he acts towards it, he knows it's not his place. I can see Eddie snapping if it becomes something that's creating problems for Buck that he refuses to acknowledge but using it to create problems between them would be just stirring up drama with the least interesting thing they could pull from the deck of buddie drama, because Eddie would never actively try to hurt Buck more by bringing this kid into the conversation.
And regarding the whole thing while the baby is still just a concept, Eddie likes to push against the line of thought Buck is trapped in, sometimes because he's actually about to give some solid advice, sometimes maybe just because he's testing how set on this way Buck is. He only found out about the donation once it was a done deal, Buck had a lot of time to sit and think about it by the time he finds out, considering Eddie finds out right as Buck is about to make the donation, and Buck never goes to him to talk about that, so even though is pretty clear he thinks Buck is making a mistake, Buck never asked for his opinion while it would change anything, so he just ignores whatever concerns he may have.
I think Eddie has a better perspective on what being a parent means to Buck than Hen does because while we like to say the whole team knows, we don't really have that many scenes with Buck and Chris with the whole crew, so Eddie is really the only one watching Buck be a parent on a regular basis, and the question Hen asks, the "can you be a father and walk away" is the real thing that could create problems because one, Eddie is a father who walked away, he went to war and he did come back, but even he admits he ran when he was in the army, and two because he's been watching Buck not walk away for years, so he knows if Buck gets too involved, he's not gonna be able to walk away, and that's the concern I think. Sure, there's the fear that Buck is just believing the whole "they had me for parts" and is giving away even more of himself, and problems that the donation could bring for Buck on a bigger scale, but I think specifically with 6x09, Eddie is listening to Buck refer to himself as a father to a child he will have no involvement raising and he's worried Buck is gonna crash from that too hard if he keeps thinking about it the way he is, but he also thinks Buck doesn't want his opinion, because he never asked, and now the baby is real, so he backs away.

Steve knows he falls in love too easily. Nancy told him, Robin too.
But falling in love with Eddie Munson is hard.
They're supposed to be friends after Vecna. They're supposed to be friends, but Steve can't get past what Eddie did in the Upside Down; how he put himself in a position to nearly die, how Dustin got hurt. It's not fair. He knows it's not, but it doesn't make the anger go away.
Eddie's part of the group now, though, and Steve won't leave him out, no matter how angry. They're all at movie nights, at pool parties, at Hellfire, at Corroded Coffin gigs. It's just that Steve and Eddie don't speak. And Steve is okay with it. If it's what it takes to make sure that they're all hanging out together, not talking to Eddie is a small thing. He's pretty sure Eddie doesn't mind. At least, he seems as uninterested in hanging out with Steve as Steve is with him.
It doesn't need to be anything more than that, and it isn't, not until Steve goes upstairs to get more sunscreen during one of the pool parties, and walks back downstairs to find Munson waiting for him in his kitchen.
"You need something?" He asks, unable to fully hide the way he jolts with surprise.
Eddie twists the rings on his fingers, something Steve's noticed he does whenever he's nervous. "You have a problem with me, Harrington?
"No, of course not," he answers too fast.
"C'mon, man. You can barely stand to be in the same room with me."
"That's not true! We're in one together right now."
Eddie rolls his eyes so hard that it has to hurt. "Don't do that. Don't pretend like you don't know what I mean. You can't stand to be alone with me for more than thirty seconds."
Steve splutters, searching for a plausible reason.
"Is it cause--" Eddie swallows, hand going back to cup his neck. "Is it cause you heard me tell Robin that I'm gay? Back at the hospital. Is it because--" he cuts himself off.
Something in Steve's chest clenches hard, warmth swooping dangerously in his stomach. "No," Steve says, means it. "I didn't hear. I didn't-- it has nothing to do with that. It's--that's cool. Thanks for--yeah, that's cool."
Eddie's smile is a brittle little thing. "Then, what else?" Eddie pulls a chunk of hair over his mouth. "I can't think of any other reason you'd hate me so much."
"I don't." And Steve hopes it's coming off as genuine. "I promise."
He can't help remember the camaraderie, the understanding, that started to grow between them in the Upside Down. The "don't cha, big boy?" of it all. They could be friends. They should be.
They shouldn't get into it. Not right here, not right now when the kids' splashes and excited screams filter through the sliding door.
"You're a shit liar, Harrington."
"Ed--I'm not--"
"You know what? Don't bother. I'll just--" He jolts in the direction of the front door.
"Don't be stupid, Munson."
"God, I can't believe I didn't see it before. You just fucking loathe me."
"I do not. Grow up."
"Oh, yeah? Then what's your problem?"
"There isn't--"
"Stop lying!"
"You didn't fucking think!" He shouts. Loud enough that the noise outside cuts off. "You pulled that shit in the Upside Down and you almost died! Dustin got hurt!"
Eddie blinks his big brown eyes in stunned surprise.
"I told you, I said, 'dont try to be cute or be a hero or something.' And you know what you said? Do you?"
Eddie won't look at him now. "I had to make a choice, Steve."
"It was the wrong one!"
"I would do it all again. No matter what you say. I would do it to draw the bats away. To protect Dustin."
"But you didn't."
"There was no other way to stop them, Steve! They would've gotten through, into Hawkins."
"It doesn't matter."
"You weren't there! You can't tell me--"
"Yes, I can! I know."
"You don't! You think--"
"I almost lost you!" He screams. "You nearly died in my arms, Eddie. And for what?"
Falling in love with Eddie wasn't easy. It was blood and near death; it was weeks in a cold hospital room while Eddie existed in a drug-induced twilight state; it was agonizing convalescence and physical therapy and changing bandages; it was Eddie leading dnd sessions with bright eyes and contagious enthusiasm, herding the kids to the arcade and video store, theatrically serving snacks at movie night; it was festering, senseless anger at the near loss of something.
Eddie's lips tremble. "Steve, I--"
"It doesn't matter." He turns away to slide a hand down his face in an effort to wipe away the emotion. "You're fine and we're--it doesn't matter."
"I'm sorry," he whispers. "Steve, I'm sorry. I wanted--I thought it would help. I thought--"
And Steve has to admit, he does, the whole terrible contradiction of it all. "I know," he whispers back. "I would've--I know."
"I thought I was protecting Dustin. I thought I was buying you guys time with Vecna." Eddie's voice breaks. "I didn't--I--" He squeezes his eyes shut.
In the quiet of the kitchen, they gravitate to one another, foreheads resting together.
"I should have been there, Ed. I shouldn't have left you two alone. You almost died, and I--"
"Sweetheart, I'm right here. We're right here."
They don't kiss, but they're close enough that their mouths brush with each breath they take.
"Don't do that, again." Steve clenches his fists into Eddie's cutoff t-shirt. "Promise you won't ever--"
"I promise, Stevie. I promise. I'll be by your side until the very end, whatever it is."

Eddie would come up with the most elaborate schemes to kiss Steve for the first time.
here's mine: He realizes Steve is a gossip early on, like the first time they all hang out someone mentions a rumour in passing and Steve latches on. Eddie is delighted. He's enamoured by the twinkle in Steve's eyes and the intensity in his probing, even the enthusiasm in giving out the information he has about the people in question.
So Eddie knows what he has to do.
Whenever Eddie sees or hears something that frankly should not be any of his business he makes sure to tell Steve. He doesn't mention it to anybody else and most of the time he doesn't care about it much, but he needs to tell Steve.
And he only does it when it's just the two of them. He finds Steve in a secluded corner of the Family Video, says "i think my boss is cheating on his wife" and is rewarded with a gasp.
He follows after Steve when he goes to refill the popcorn in the middle of movie night and casually asks "you know who I saw the other day coming out of Laura's house at 3am?" Steve raises his eyebrows higher than Eddie has ever seen.
He calls Steve at midnight on a Wednesday and opens with "my neighbors are definitely getting back together" Steve answers with a devastated "noooo!"
He leaves the kids in the cookie aisle to go catch up to Steve and lean on the shopping cart shoulder to shoulder and whisper "dont look now, but Heather and Monica are here together, right behind us. They ARE dating" Steve looks immediately.
And Eddie's not only excited about his initial reactions, but he thanks the heavens for his discovery because it gets him Steve's total, undivided attention every.fucking.time. without fail.
Steve turns fully to him, touches Eddie's arms for emphasis, shoves him when Eddie says something dumb, tugs on a strand of his hair a bit when Eddie says something silly, opens his eyes SO wide or squints at him and his eyelashes look sooo pretty. Steve leans in and whispers back and grins and teases and scrunches his nose in the most adorable gesture Eddie has ever seen in his life.
With practice, Eddie goes from having to give Steve's shoulder a back handed slap to get his attention, to just looking at him directly for like 5 seconds and then Steve knows Eddie has something to tell him.
so he does it at dinner, on a nondescript date at a nondescript hour because, mostly, Eddie just kinda can't take it anymore.
He's listening to Steve tell this story about a costumer and frankly, forgets to look away from him and Steve interprets this as Eddie having something to say. He cuts himself off, tilts his head and asks "what?" with mirth in his voice.
Eddie smiles, a little mischievous and says "c'mere I have to tell you something"
Steve smiles back, but says "we're the only ones here, Eds" gesturing to his kitchen.
Eddie rolls his eyes a bit and threatens "do you want me to tell you or not?"
Steve leans across the table, his cut off tank almost touching their spaghetti.
Eddie wants to shove his hands through the armpit holes, but he settles for holding Steve's jaw and threading his fingers through the hair at the back of his neck, pulling him in for a kiss.
Steve's lips are as soft and warm as he expected, he tastes of the red sauce they cooked together and he smells good enough to eat. Eddie indulges in a thorough kiss but keeps it short.
No matter how many times Steve looks at him like he's the most interesting person in the room, he hasn't outright said that he likes Eddie like that, so he'd rather be careful.
Eddie pulls back and finds Steve smiling, his eyes closed still.
Steve blinks his eyes open and looks at Eddie, his tongue darts out to swipe across his lips and he says "I think that's the best one you've told me yet"
Eddie snorts and feels his cheeks burn "Yeah?" he asks.
"Mmhm" Steve confirms against his lips, already kissing Eddie again.
It takes a while, but eventually Eddie realizes Steve doesn't only give him his undivided attention when he has gossip. He does it pretty much all the time.
Maybe at some point it expanded to everything Eddie has to say.
Or maybe it was like that all along.

brain like a sieve
A/N: i am on a MAD ONE with the way im writing. she has motivation and inspiration and fingers of STEEL. (gif creds: @neblisi )
Pairings: Eddie Munson x GN!Reader
Summary: Eddie’s on top of the world when you tell him you love him. So much so, in fact, that he forgets to say it back. 0.8k words
Warnings: established relationship, kissing, fluff, insecurity, obliviousness, pet names (bunny, bug, lovebug), ONE half swear word (i SWEAR it took so much self control, i dont know how i limited myself)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You’ve got this fiery look in your eye right before you say it that distracts him.
“I love you, Eddie.”
And your hair is wild and your hands are wound into the collar of his shirt and he can’t help but wonder what divine force of nature got him here. Made him so lucky.
And in the midst of everything: Eddie forgets to say it back.
He kisses you sweetly and holds you at the waist, drinking in the way you look at him and tug him closer. But he still doesn’t say it back. A minute passes, and everything settles and he thinks you’re beautiful and you love him, and he forgot to say it back.
You go home in a frenzy. Why didn’t he say it back? You can barely do your laundry without running the conversation over in your head. Did you do something wrong? You think you’ll wait a week, give it time, maybe he’ll call and say it. Maybe he’s still processing it. Does he not love you back? You end up waiting two days before calling him in the middle of the night.
“Okay! We can talk, lovebug. Why don’t you come over tomorrow night? I’ll order takeout.”
You can hear Eddie’s smile through the phone, completely unfazed by the ungodly hour and by the confusion and hurt in your voice. Your eyes go wide, and you slowly nod.
“Yeah… that works,” you say.
“Alright, I’ll see you then.”
But you’re still confused. He spoke and smiled like nothing was the matter. Like you hadn’t been down on your knees with devoted confession for him. Maybe he just didn’t hear you. Except you know he heard you because you said it in the rest between laughter and conversation and the way he gave you a soft smile meant he had to have heard you.
“I brought cupcakes.” You stand on his porch steps, shivering from the cold, wind licking your face and threatening to blow you off your feet. Eddie grins and takes the plate from you, grabbing your hand and leading you to the kitchen. He sets the soft yellow platter down beside the bags of takeout and whips around to leer at you like a big cat.
“Hi, bunny,” he whispers. And you’re already flustered.
Eddie smiles because he knows and plants one on you like you’ve never kissed before. Like it hasn’t been his favorite pastime the entire time he’s known you. Despite how stone-faced you told yourself you’d be, you crumple into temptation and whine when he pulls away.
Moments later, you’re both perched on his bed, facing each other while he’s smiling and poking at your knee.
“So…” Eddie says, batting his lashes.
“So?”
“Well, you said you wanted to talk—”
“Oh”—you press a hand to your face and take a deep breath—“I know, I’m just… okay… d’you remember the other day? We were cracking jokes on your bed and messing around in general and…”
“Yeah, I remember.” He inches ever closer, tugging at the sleeve of your coat like a needy cat. Because you don’t know how distracted he had gotten all while thinking about how pretty you looked. How pretty your laugh is and how he doesn’t know where he’d be if he didn’t have you.
“And then I said…”—you sigh—“I mean, I told you I love you, and you didn’t… say anything—”
And as if all of the blood had been drained from his face, he goes ghost-pale in embarrassment. He feels nauseous and panicked.
“Oh my God! Bug! I love you, I love you, I do, I’m—oh my God, I got completely distracted, I’m mortified, I swear, I—”
You feel relief, yet your voice is still small when you ask:
“Distracted? Distracted by what…?”
“Well”—and it makes him shy owning up to his conscience like this—“you were laughin’ so hard and… and then I snorted which made you laugh even harder and I was thinking… ‘bout how beautiful you looked smiling so wide, I couldn’t keep my eyes off of you. And you said you loved me and I was on cloud nine. You were grabbing me and you looked like you could cry from laughing and I wanted to kiss you and I love you. And I’m sorry I got distracted.”
Your jaw unclenches and you sit there for a second, blinking at him in disbelief and yet complete understanding.
Then you tackle him, pin him to the bed with a yelp. And once he’s done wriggling, he’s scared for his life with how furious you look pressing him down like this.
“Eddie Munson!”
“Don’t be mad at me, please! Because I love you—”
“Shut up,” you say, grinning when he cups your face and swipes his thumb across your cheek.
“I do. I lo—”
“Shh, precious few words, Eddie.”
“Too bad, that sucks, I’m completely in love with you,” he huffs, “Now say it back.”
You grin and you look like you could bite a chunk out of him right about now. And he’s pretty sure he prefers it that way when you say:
“…I love you.”
“Damn right.”

‘hey, how’d it go?’
‘uh. not great.’
‘shit. tell me.’
‘ well, it started kinda fine. she kept, like, looking at my neck, but she didn’t say anything. but we got along pretty well.’
‘ did you hook up?’
‘ well. we were going to. but it was… i don’t know. weird.’
‘weird awkward?’
‘yeah. like it just… jesus, i don’t know. it felt wrong? but not, like, wrong wrong, just. weird.’
‘sure.’
‘it was like we didn’t know what to do.’
‘how far’d you get?’
‘we made out. but when i went to take my shirt off, she said— i’m not exaggerating— oh my go-od.’
‘jesus, steve.’
‘yeah. honestly i don’t even know why i fucking bother.’
‘what do you mean?’
‘ i dunno. guess i knew i’m fucking ugly now, i guess i just kinda… i don’t know. hoped it wasn’t that bad. but i’m an idiot, so.’
‘jesus, steve, shut the fuck up.’
‘huh?’
‘you’re not— fuck, there was so much wrong with all of that, oh my god.’
‘eddie.’
‘no— okay, alright. steve. you’re not ugly.’
‘she recoiled, eddie.’
‘okay, well, cindy alden is a bitch. i remember her from school, she’s always been awful. don’t laugh, i’m serious, she’s terrible.’
‘okay, eddie.’
‘you’re not ugly.’
‘i’m…’
‘steve. you’re not ugly. your scars are cool.’
‘think you’re the only one that thinks that.’
‘well my opinion is the most important, so.’
‘okay, eddie.’
‘look. your scars are metal as fuck. even if you don’t think so.’
‘…’
‘when you see my scars, do you think they’re ugly?’
‘wha— no, of course not.’
‘so why do you think yours are ugly?’
‘…i dont know.’
‘have you actually looked at your scars? taken a really good look?’
‘i don’t really want to.’
‘look at them. now.’
‘eddie.’
‘come on, stevie, humour me.’
‘…okay. i’m looking.’
‘have you noticed how they, like, kinda swirl a little bit?’
‘…noticing that now.’
‘don’t they kinda look like storm clouds?’
‘…’
‘steve?’
‘yeah. a little bit. guess that’s… kinda cool.’
‘and the colours? aren’t they pretty?’
‘you’re trying to make me feel better about myself.’
‘yeah. i am. aren’t they pretty?’
‘…yeah. i guess.’
‘and our scars match. that’s pretty cool. they’re like friendship bracelets.’
‘some fucked up friendship bracelets. but yeah. it’s kinda nice that i’m not the only one.’
‘you’re not ugly, steve. even with your sick-ass scars, you’re ho— you’re so cool.’
‘yeah? you think i’m pretty, eddie?’
‘…anyway. don’t worry about what cindy alden has to say. you’re good. and you’re not an idiot.’
‘okay, eddie.’
‘don’t okay, eddie me, i’m serious. you’re pretty smart, steve.’
‘okay, maybe i’m not an idiot, but i wouldn’t go so far as to say i’m smart.’
‘well, it’s a good thing i’m not asking you, isn’t it? don’t sigh at me. you’re smart.”
‘eddie, i don’t mind being the dumb one of the group, it’s fine.’
‘no, it’s not, steve. you’re not the dumb one. just because you’re not a science nerd or something doesn’t mean you’re not smart.’
‘in what way am i smart?’
‘you’re observant as fuck, steve. i’m serious, you are. dustin and robin told me about how they only realised the russian code was coming from hawkins because you were the only one that recognized the music in it.’
‘…’
‘we only figured out we could communicate from the upside down because you heard dustin. no one else heard him.’
‘you guys thought i was crazy.’
‘yeah, until we heard him too, and then i thought holy shit, this guy’s got ears like a fuckin’ bat.’
‘…’
‘you knew how to drive that rv right away.’
‘didn’t have much of a choice.’
‘what i meant was that you’d never driven an rv before.’
‘…‘s true.’
‘you’re really smart, steve. you’re… resourceful. and intuitive, and observant, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t know science-y shit.’
‘…okay.’
‘and even if you weren’t smart, it wouldn’t matter. you’re more than your body and brains, stevie.’
‘what else am i, eddie?’
‘jesus, where should i start? …okay. you’re really sweet.’
‘sweet?’
‘so fucking sweet, steve, you’re one of the nicest people i know. even in high school, you were nicer than the other douche bags. and now you’re… you’re kind, steve. even if you’re being bitchy. you’re kind, and considerate, and patient when you need to be.’
‘…okay.’
‘and you’re… you’re funny. i know all the kids make fun of your jokes, but i laugh at all of them.’
‘thanks.’
‘you’re a good friend.’
‘am i?’
‘remember what i said about you being observant?’
‘yeah?’
‘i swear you can walk into a room and just… know. like, if anything is wrong, you pick up on it immediately, it’s insane. and you always know exactly what people need. you’re… safe.’
‘…safe?’
‘yeah. safe. everyone’s totally comfortable around you. the kids fucking adore you.’
‘really?’
‘yeah. the other day we were hanging out while you and robin were at work, and erica sighed very loudly and complained that she missed you.’
‘erica said that?’
‘erica fucking sinclair said, and i quote, i miss steve.’
‘…that’s really nice.’
‘you’re a good guy, steve, seriously. you’re selfless and brave and kind, and i love how you look after everyone, and how your eyes light up when talk about your sports, and how you get all mushy about the kids when they’re not around, and—’
‘…’
‘look. you’re, like, the best. and it— it breaks my fucking heart to hear you talk about yourself like you’re some piece of shit.’
‘…’
‘steve?’
‘…’
‘fuck, are you crying?’
‘…no?’
‘fuck, steve, i’m—’
‘eddie?’
‘yeah?’
‘i… i have to tell you something.’
‘what is it? are you okay?’
‘…i’m falling in love with you.’
‘…what?’
‘i’m sorry, eddie.’
‘no, don’t hang up, stevie— you’re— are you sure?’
‘yeah. i’m sure.’
‘but you… what about the girls?’
‘i was… i was trying not to— to fall for you, but you… fucking christ, eddie, you’re so…’
‘so?’
‘so good. you’re so perfect.’
‘fuck.’
‘im sorry, eddie.’
‘don’t apologise, stevie, i’m— i’m in love with you too.’
‘…say it again.’
‘i’m in love with you, too.’
‘holy shit.’
‘are you okay?’
‘i’m okay. i’m… can you come over?’
‘…to yours?’
‘or— or i can go to yours, i just— i wanna see you.’
‘you do?’
‘i wanna… i wanna kiss you.’
‘fuck. fuck, fuck, ow, okay, i’m—‘
‘what just happened?’
‘i fell off my bed, i’m fine, i can be there in a few minutes.’
‘are you sure?’
‘holy shit, steve, yes, i’ll be right over.’
‘okay.’
‘okay.’
‘wait, eddie—’
‘yeah?’
‘…i love you.’
‘fuck. i love you too. i’ll be right there, stevie.’
‘okay.’

Now She's Gone
Summary; It's been two and a half years since Steve achieved his dream of being a rockstar. It's also been two and a half years since he broke your heart.
Back in Hawkins for a one-off show he doesn't expect you to have moved on and who you've moved on with.
Warnings; Angst, angst, past heartache, Eddie is a sweetie, Steve is a dick, mentions of past cheating, rockstar Steve.
Past Steve x Ex! Reader
Eddie Munson x Reader
If you enjoyed this pls leave a like or reblog :) Ty ❣️
Posted this the other day but my dumb ass accidentally deleted it 😫 enjoy 💕
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I dont give anyone permission to copy my work.
❤️
Heard she's engaged but to her best friend, no ones to blame.
here's where it all ends and I feel the pain, cause im without her.
I feel the pain.
🌸💕
Steve had everything he could possibly want. Fame, money, the adulation of thousands of fans and sex with different women whenever he wanted.
A rockstar life.
He had long forgotten about the woman that he left behind in Hawkins, who's heart he shattered into a million pieces.
You didn't matter because it's not like he was ever back in Hawkins to see you again, to feel the guilt over how things ended between you two.
Until now.
His manager had decided to host a one-off concert in Hawkins and he was not happy.
Okay, so it was nice seeing Dustin and the other little nuggets and Robin but he was still fuming.
The thing that made his heart beat out of his chest? That stopped him in his tracks?
It was seeing you. Looking so beautiful, your smile big and infectious, then he catches the glint on your finger and his stomach drops.
An engagement ring. It's a gut punch and he feels like he can't breathe.
What did he expect though? He's been gone for over 2 and a half years.
Did he expect you to still be single? That was fucking stupid.
Who was the douchebag you were marrying? It doesn't take long for him to find out as Eddie the freak Munson comes up behind you, wraps his arms around your waist and kisses you until your giggling.
You look so in love it makes him sick.
"What the fuck" he says a little too loudly and it attracts your attention and Eddie who's face falls.
Instead of looking happy to see him, you look stunned and then annoyed. You turn away from him and instead go to hug Dustin who then comes bounding up to him.
He's still in shock and knows this trip won't be smooth sailing at all. In fact, it might be the hardest thing he's ever done.
🌸
Steve knew it was stupid asking you for another chance, stupidly arrogant and a bad idea but he couldn't stop thinking about you after seeing you with Eddie.
After a set check he decided to check at your place of work to see you. You worked with Nancy on the town paper.
Nancy seeing him gave him the most evil eye he had ever received.
Boy was it a bad idea. He expected you to be annoyed but the look on your face nearly sent him scarpering for cover when you saw him.
It got even worse when he told you why he came to see you.
Your chest was heaving, eyes flashing and you let out the loudest, most fierce "What the fuck?" he had ever heard.
Then you started laughing and only stopped when he grabbed you by the hands.
"I'm serious honey, we were good together and Munson? seriously? You think that loser freak can keep you happy?"
That was the worst thing he could have said because he was sure there were sparks coming from you now.
"How dare you! Seriously how fucking dare you!!" he shrugs.
"So that's a no?" you snort and walk towards him and he takes a step back, yeah maybe he might have fucked up.
"Eddie Munson is more of a man than you'll ever be Steve Harrington" he scoffs and
"Come on. I'm rich, can give you anything you want babe, we were good together" you shake your head.
"I dont give a fuck how rich you are, you completely shattered my heart, Steve! We were together for two years and the minute you get famous you string me along, sleep with models and then ditch me because I wasn't good for your fucking rockstar life"
Steve swallows and tries to think of something to say but he can't because you cut him off still ranting.
"You broke my heart and Eddie and our friends helped me heal and move on. Especially, Eddie, he was there for me every single day, held me when I cried, made me feel like I was worth something when I felt like absolute shit"
It's all coming out now and you feel good that you can get this all out in the open, built up anger and grief pours out of you.
"I finally asked myself after poring over photos of you surrounded by all your groupies and girls why the hell was I so upset over you!!"
He looks contrite now and doesn't make any attempt to say anything.
"I realised how amazing Eddie was, how sweet and kind and just gorgeous inside and out and I fell in love with him and he makes me happy. Happier than I ever was with you"
Steve storms out by that point fuming at what you said. He wanted to see Eddie and give him a piece of his mind.
❤️
Eddie didn't expect to see Harrington at his door, he was waiting for you to come home after your shift.
His fist tightens and he wants nothing more than to punch Steve in his perfect teeth.
"What do you want Steve?" Steve gives Eddie a long searching look and holds his hands up.
"Come on man. This is about yn and you know it. You and her? A loser like you. Yn deserves better. So why don't you step aside dude"
Disbelief then anger floods through Eddie and he walks up to Steve who looks a bit concerned.
"I dont have anything to prove to you, Harrington but for your information I own the biggest motor servicing unit in Indianna but it's great to see you're the same spiteful douchebag you've always been"
Steve takes a second and is ready to bite back with a retort but Eddie doesn't listen and glares at him.
"I dont give a fuck what you want Steve, you broke my girl's heart and your friends, me, Robin, Nancy, and Chrissy, fuck even Jason helped her heal. You had your chance and you blew it" Eddie takes a calming breath then makes his point clear.
"I won't make the same mistake you did, I assure you. I know how lucky I am and I will never ever hurt yn in any way. I love her, we are meant for each other. Back the fuck off and get out of my sight"
You come in at that point and see Steve, your eyes flash and you look murderous.
"Is he bothering you, baby?" you ask him and Eddie shakes his head.
"No, no he's leaving Princess" he assures you and you look pointedly at Steve who seems to get the hint and leaves.
Or so you think, you don't realise he's listening at the door.
❤️
Eddie looks at you his face pained and he swallows, he's tried not to let Steve's barbs get to him but it's hard.
"You know with Steve back. I could understand if you wanted to be with him, he was the love of your life"
You soften and stroke his cheek, gently kissing away the tears.
"I love you, Edward Munson, you're the love of my life. Not Steve. Only you. I don't want Steve back at all, he broke my heart and left me in pieces. You're who I want to be with, only you"
Eddie smiles and rests his head against yours his fears slowly easing.
"I love you so much. I'd never hurt you like Steve did sweetheart. I'm so fucking lucky to be with you" you kiss him fiercely.
"Pretty sure I'm the lucky one Eds"
Steve swallows as he watches the scene, watches how you look so happy with Eddie, the way he is head over heels for you and you him.
Jealousy courses through his body but he can't blame anyone but himself for losing you.
He was the idiot, he preferred time with groupies and models to you, he broke your heart and Eddie and your friends helped piece it back together.
He can't wait to get out of this fucking town and that's what he does after the gig, he drives out of the town, past the Leaving Hawkins sign and an array of emotions flit through him.
There's wetness on his cheeks and it stuns him. He pinches his nose hard to keep the tears at bay and it takes him a second to realise that it's the first time he's cried since you and him broke up.
It's stupid because he doesn't need you, he could have any girl he wanted.
It doesn't stop him from finally after all this time cursing his stupidity for losing you.
I feel her slipping through my fingers now she's gone. I'm sleeping with the light on.
And shocks went through my veins now, that she's gone.
I'm sleeping with the light on.
Song lyrics by Busted-Sleeping with the light on.

OK OK SOOOOO I REALLY LIKED THE NANCY FIC WITH THE READER GOING IN NANCY WINDOW N STUFF, If it’s ok can I request another Nancy x Reader Fic 😏 but this time could you do something where Nancy and reader get caught kissing and stuff (if you know what I mean ;)) by like Eddie, Steve, and Robin (Maybe Max, Lucas, Dustin, and Erica but also maybe not because they’re young and stuff so you don’t have too for them). BUT OFC YOU DONT HAVE TOO IF YOU DONT WANT TOO OR DONT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH IT.
OF COURSE I CAN! I LOVE NANCY WHEELER SO MUCH DUDE. LIKE I SAID BEFORE, I AM SO GAY FOR HER 😩 NANCY NEEDS MORE LOVE
Jealousy [Nancy Wheelee]
Tumblr media
Nancy Wheeler x reader
Read Sleepover if you want :)
You hated when Steve hit on Nancy or the way he looked at Nancy. You noticed that Nancy looked like she wanted to leave whenever he, CLEARLY, hit on her. You told her what was going on and she called you jealous for that. You showed her how jealous you really were but it got interrupted by an opened door, again.
Warning: Mention of blood, making out, Season 4 vol.2 spoilders
Tumblr media
You didn't like the idea of having to be with Steve on this mission of taking down Vecna.
Okay, you don't hate him, but he's been hitting on Nancy lately that it's making you pissed. The way he looks at her and the way he eyes her when she's talking with Robin.
You decided to tell Nancy because communication matters between you and her. "Nancy, he's clearly hitting on you."
"And I don't like him. I love you." And you'd get a kiss. You smile and then pull her into another kiss. "Stop being jealous." She says as she moves a hair behind your ear. "I am not jealous!"
You knew that she loved you, that she didn't have a thing for him anymore. But it still pissed you off that he was clearly hitting on her while she looked like she wanted to leave.
The way he looked at her when he was going underwater to look for the gate, it made you cringe. "Stop showing and get in the Damm water, Harrington." You say as he chuckled and shook his head.
Nancy looked at you and shook her head. You raised a brow and looked away. Nancy sighs and holds your hand, in hopes of you getting in a better mood. She didn't like seeing you like this. And when she saw a smile on your face, she smiled and laid her head on your shoulder.
"Okay, he's taking long." You say. And Nancy noticed too. "Too long." Nancy says as started to take her shoe off and Eddie told her to wait. That's when Steve pops up and greets everyone.
"Jesus Harrington! What the hell were you doing down there!" You yelled, feeling worried for him. "Don't worry. I'm fine. Like I said-" the boat moves as water splashes. "What the hell-" He then disappeared in the water. You all yelled for him and Nancy started to take her shoes off and jumped in. "Oh hell no Nancy Wheeler!" You took your shoes off. "Um, we should not go-"
"I am!" You yelled as you removed your jacket and jumped in. Robin jumps in and Eddie was alone on the boat. He groans and eventually jumps in.
You tried to get the bats off of Steve while Nancy hit them. You kicked one off him and soon all of them were gone. "Ew that's disgusting Harrington." You say as you saw him remove the tail off the bat with his mouth and saw the blood dripping out of his mouth. He chuckled and shook his head.
You looked up and saw more bats, making you wrap an arm around Steve and run away with the rest. You all stopped and Steve groaned from the pain. You looked down and saw him bleeding. "Shit." You whispered and Nancy walked up to him. "Here, let me do this." She kneels down and starts to rip her skirt. She wraps it around his wounds and looks up at him to check on how he is doing.
Robin went on a rambling about rabbis and that if he did that he should tell them. "I really want to punch you right now Robin." She chuckled and Nancy got up. "Alright, let's go then." She says as she walks up to you and rubs your arm. "You alright?" She asks, checking up on you.
"Yeah, I'm good. You?"
"I'm alright. Let's go then." She walks and Robin follows. You saw Steve had Eddie's Denim jacket on. "See, the only reason why I'm here is because those ladies," he points towards you, Nancy's, and Robin's direction.
"Came in straight after you." You looked at Eddie and Steve. You continued to walk as you listened to their conversation. "But Wheeler right there, she didn't waste a second. Not one second." You stopped walking and pretending to look around when you noticed they weren't walking. "Now, I don't know what Happened between you two. But if I were you, I would get her back. That is a sign of true love." Eddie says and turns to look at them. "Are you two going to catch up or what? Stop your chit chatting."
That's when everything suddenly started to shake. You scream as you fall down on the floor. "Hey, you alright [Name]?" Eddie asked and you nod. "L-Lets go catch up." You say as you get up. You run towards Nancy and Robin. Nancy smiles, seeing that you were alright, as she sees you and hugs you tightly.
Tumblr media
It happened again. When Steve was driving the stolen trailer. He started to talk to her about having a family. 6 nuggets, as Steve called them. And what he wanted to do and travel with them. You knew he wanted to say that she was in the picture of his imagination with his 6 nuggets.
You bit on your lower lip as you hear the conversation. "Eddie, can I talk to you?" You say and Eddie nods. He walks twords you. You looked and everyone was busy with their conversations. "Um, do you think Steve still had a thing for Nancy?"
"Oh, most definitely. The way he looks at her and all. It's very noticeable."
"But Nancy looks like she isn't interested in him." You say and Eddie looks over at Nancy. And you were right. Nancy looked like she wanted to leave. "Oh shit…" Eddie whispered and you nodded. "What am I telling you?"
"Um, I'll just ask her to switch seats." He walks up to Nancy and asks if he could sit there. She immediately got up and Eddie sits down. She walks over to you and sits down. "How are you?"
"Nervous." You say and Nancy lays her head on your shoulder. "Everything will he alright. We will kill that son of a bitch." You giggled and say, "God, you are unbelievable hot for that." She smiles and shook her head. "You also looked hot kicking those bats."
"Oh my god, I was a mess, Nancy. I was wet." She smiles and snuggles closer to you. "And you looked quite fine"
"Stop, I'm blushing." She giggled and closed her eyes. She wanted to kiss you so badly. She wanted to leave marks all over you.
Perhaps later.
Tumblr media
"[N-Name]." Nancy whimpers as she feels your lips on her neck. You were sitting on Nancy's lap as you sucked on her skin as Nancy let out a shaky breath. "S-Stop, they might–god– walk in." She said and you shook your head. "I don't fucking care. If I end up dying, I want to leave so many kisses on you right now." You say and Nancy pulls you into a kiss. You whimper as you feel her hand run under your shirt.
"Don't say that." She whispered as she kissed your cheek. "We will all make it out." She says and kisses your neck. You moved your head to the side, to let her kiss and leave marks on you.
"I love you so much." You say and Nancy smiles. "I love you too." She says and bits down. You yelp and hold on to her shoulders. "Were you jealous sweetheart?" She says, making your stomach tingly by the nickname. "Y-Yes." You breathed out as she sucked on your skin. She hummed and moved to your chest. She cups your covered breast and slowly moves your bra up. You felt the palm of her hand rub your nipple, making you whimper. She grins at your response and kisses you.
"Hey, what the hell is taking you guys so long. We have to kill Ve-" Nancy looks over at the door and you stay frozen where you are. Steve was at the door, looking at the situation. "Hey, Harrington, tell them to- NO WAY" Eddie walks up and sees what Steve was seeing.
"What the hell are you y- OH MY GOD" Robin yells.
"CLOSE THE DOOR!" You yelled as you felt your whole face get hot. Nancy's face was red as a tomato. Steve slammed the door shut.
"That explains it all!" Eddie says and Robin gives him a puzzled look. "What are you talking about?" She asks. "[Name] said that Nancy was not interested in-" he looks over at Steve, who was still trying to process everything, and says, "Sorry dude, but Nancy is not interested in you."
"Yeah! I can tell!" Steve says as he sits down on a bucket and covers his face. His whole face was red. "No wonder [name] was rude to you." Robin says and Steve shakes his head. "Why didn't they tell me? I'm so embarrassed…" He whispered. "It's hard coming out." Robin says as she rubs his back. "But now you know." Eddie says with a grin on his face.
You open the door and walk out with Nancy behind you. You clear your throat and say, "We are ready." Nancy nods as she holds her shotgun. "Let's get going then." Robin says. Everyone goes but Steve stops you.
"I am sorry." He apologized. He noticed you would glare at him whenever he looked at Nancy. And when he flirted with her, you'd walk up to her and talk with her. He just thought you were a friend who didn't want her friend to get back with her Ex. He was completely wrong. You smiled and said, "Nancy wouldn't be able to handle 6 nuggets while being a reporter." Steve chuckled and nodded. "You are right."
"Anyways, let's forget that ever happened." You say as you hold your flashlight . "Next time knock." You say and walk towards Nancy. "Yup." He says to himself and follows the rest.

pairing: eddie x fem!reader
summary: you're seeing eddie behind jason's back and he doesn't know. yet (based on scotty doesn't know)
length: 3.1k (i got really into this omg)
warnings: 18+ minors DNI! repeated mentions of cheating, fingering, oral (f and m receiving), lots of sex references, mentions of alcohol, mentions of drugs, cursing
a.n: seriously guys this whole thing is about cheating so be warned, lots of angst, smut, pining and fluff though. also i dont think jason is this much of an asshole irl but this is just for plot. and i highly recommend listening to scotty doesn't know by lustra for this! (set during ep 1 of s4 - the hellfire club)
Tumblr media
Scotty doesn't know that Fiona and me do it in my van every Sunday//She tells him she's in church but she doesn't go//Still she's on her knees and Scotty doesn't know…
This was the third week in a row you’d been late to meet Jason. It was Sunday and he had just finished basketball practice with his friends ready for the upcoming game. It had happened slowly. You started forgetting what time you were meant to meet up, or showing up looking thoroughly dishevelled which pissed Jason off to no end. Now, you’d simply not shown up.
He glances around the empty parking lot of school, his friends shrugging at him when he asks, “Has anyone seen Y/N?”
“I dunno, man,” one of them says noncommittally. “It’s Sunday, maybe she’s in church?”
Jason hums. Your family were religious, that was true. And sometimes you tagged along to keep up appearances, but he knew you didn’t really enjoy it too much. But you did it for your family, because you loved them. So maybe you did just forget about today and went with them to church instead. Jason chooses to believe that and decides to catch up with you tomorrow at school. He knows there’ll be a rational explanation.
You pant, breathless, as Eddie removes his fingers from your aching core. His brown eyes are blown wide with longing and he grinned at how fucked out you look already. “That good, huh?” he teases you and you roll your eyes, sitting up in the back of his van.
This was common practice. You knew it was wrong, cheating on Jason, but it had happened accidentally. You’d bumped into Eddie at a party where he was dealing and Jason was off talking to some girl or doing a keg stand. You’d been bored out of your mind, waiting for Jason to pay some attention to you, when you had physically fallen for Eddie Munson. Well, into, but he still made the joke, smiling at you earnestly. In truth, he’d had a crush on you for years and the way you looked in those high waisted shorts and tank top that left little to the imagination, well—it was only a matter of time before he was leading you out to his van.
Where you met up every Sunday when you told Jason you’d be in church.
“Your turn,” you say to Eddie, nudging his legs until he’s sat up, you on your knees in front of him.
“Lucky me,” he sighs, watching you contentedly. You were his dream girl and he couldn’t believe his luck. Still, you had asked him to keep it quiet until school ended and you could end things with Jason without him being too much of an asshole. He was leaving for college, you were staying here. You could cut ties with him forever and keep Eddie safe from the basketball idiots Jason hung around with.
But neither of you could keep your hands of each other. It was a different kind of love to what you had once felt with Jason. When you first met, Jason made you feel like you were in a fairytale, showering you with gifts and taking you out everywhere, showing you off to the world. But then it turned sour and you realised you were more like a trophy than supposedly the love of his life. He didn’t listen to what you had to say, expecting you to sit back and be a good little house wife.
And Eddie was the opposite. He was entranced by the way you could speak for hours about a topic that interested you. He made you feel like the only person in the world that mattered, making sure you were okay above all else. He wanted to keep you safe, but never once in a possessive way. And the sex—
“Yeah,” you smirk. “Lucky you.”
He groans as you tie your hair up the way he likes, knowing he’ll be holding onto it soon. His eyes roll into the back of his head as you start to blow him, knowing all the ways to make him squirm until he’s forcing your head down and making you gag. This was the only place, in the confines of his van (or sometimes your bedroom and his trailer) that he could be in charge. And you would let him, enjoying every single second of Eddie making you his.
You just wish you could shout it to the whole of Hawkins.
Fiona says she's out shopping//But she's under me and I'm not stopping…
“How long does it take to shop?” Jason mutters, checking his watch. He was with his friends (again) and the film was starting in ten minutes. He’d arranged a big date between the team and their girlfriends, expecting you to be there as Hawkins High’s It Couple. You’d agreed immediately and called him this morning telling him that he didn’t need to pick you up since you were going shopping with Robin to find an outfit that would make everyone jealous that you two were together. You’d meet him at the theatre.
Yet here he was, waiting and watching his friends with their girlfriends file into the cinema to take their seats and he’s left waiting by the doors. He glances around. It’s dark—maybe you got lost? You didn’t drive, claiming that you preferred it when Jason drove you around and he loved it too, so maybe you took a wrong turn in the dark. But then your mom normally drives you when he’s not around—so where were you?
Five minutes to the movie. If he doesn’t go now, he’ll miss the movie. He shakes his head, not even thinking for a minute that you were somewhere else, with someone else. He just chalks it down to you being forgetful or busy. Lately, you’d been spending a lot of your time studying or daydreaming, your mind elsewhere. Your finals were coming up and you were preoccupied. He got that. He just wish it didn’t look so bad on him when you stand him up.
He walks into the theatre alone.
Your fingernails scratch down Eddie’s back and his eyelids flutter closed at the sensation of it as he pounds into you. His pick necklace falls onto your bare chest and he loves the sight of it, the sight of you naked underneath him, writhing in pleasure.
“God, princess, you’re gonna make me cum just looking this pretty,” he moans into your neck as he peppers you with kisses.
“Eddie,” you breathe, butterflies fluttering in your stomach—from the compliment or the way his cock was repeatedly slamming in and out of you, you don’t know. Either way, you know that this feeling here, this pure bliss, is the only way you want to feel for the rest of your life. You could happily spend all your days sharing a joint with Eddie and going at it all day long.
And it’s not just about the sex. It’s him in general that you love. Some days you just come over to his trailer to hang out and watch a movie together. You could never watch a horror movie with Jason, but Eddie loves them and insists on showing you all the cult classics that he’s adamant you’ll love too. He lays in bed with you in his arms sometimes and reads to you, Stephen King or Tolkien or even just his newest D&D campaign, wanting your approval.
For five weeks, you’ve been keeping this part of yourself a secret from everybody. Robin was the only person who knew (and probably Steve, by extension) and she covered for you when you asked, without question. She knew the difficult position you were in. Robin didn’t judge—she was in between a rock and a hard place herself.
But all of you just wants to be free now, to spend your time with Eddie without guilt gnawing at you.
“Hey, princess,” Eddie’s voices brings you back to the moment. You blink and smile up at him. He’s stopped moving, concern written all over his face. “You alright, baby?”
You nod enthusiastically. “Perfect, Eds,” you tell him honestly, wrapping your legs around his waist, pulling him in even deeper causing you both to groan. “Just fuck me. Please?”
You don’t have to ask him twice.
I can't believe he's so trusting//While I'm right behind you thrusting…
You cancel your date, telling Jason you had to help out your friend Steve at work. You were at Family Video, alright, only in the stockroom, with Eddie fucking you from behind, his hand on your mouth to keep you quiet. Thank god for friends like Robin, you had thought as she ushered you into the back without her manager knowing.
Fiona's got him on the phone//And she's trying not to moan//It's a three-way call and he knows nothing…
“That sounds g-great, babe!” you tell Jason down the phone enthusiastically. “I’m so happy for you.”
He’d called you when he knew you’d be home from school, telling you all about practice today. You knew he was waiting for an invitation over, but…
Eddie’s head was between your thighs, occasionally grinning at you as you bit your lip to stop from moaning. He was palming himself through his jeans at how risky this was, going down on you while you were on the phone to your boyfriend. But he couldn’t help teasing you and you sure seem to be loving it as he feels you clench around his fingers. Instead of hanging up, you keep the game going, loving it as much as Eddie is.
But god, this was dangerous.
The parkin' lot, why not? It's so cool when you're on top…
You grind down into Eddie’s lap, your fingers tangled in his hair. His lips are so soft and you just want to feel them all over you—your mouth, your jaw, your neck, your chest. You can’t get enough of him. And in the two months you’ve been seeing Eddie, the game has become riskier. Hellfire Club finally knew and you’d sworn them all to secrecy at the end of tonight’s meeting—choosing tactfully to keep Lucas in the dark. You couldn’t risk him telling Jason. Not yet.
It was almost Spring Break. Maybe you’d move your schedule up a bit and tell him then. By summer, you and Eddie would be free.
But for now, it was this. It was riding him in his van in the parking lot, knowing that Jason was around for basketball. But Eddie had been so animated in Hellfire that you couldn’t wait until you guys were home—you had to have him there and then. And he certainly wasn’t complaining as he came hard inside of you, loving the filthy idea of his cum being inside Jason Carver’s girlfriend. Because you weren’t Jason’s at all—you were his.
I did her on his birthday…
Jason threw a huge party for his birthday, inviting the whole school.
“Please come, Eddie!” you begged, turning over in his bed to look at him. He was gorgeous in every way. His eyes were huge and emotive, his hair was wild and soft. He made you feel safe, especially in moments like this when you both napped off the hot spring in his bed together after helping him study for a test. Jason was all muscle and hard edges and clean cut. Eddie was raw and real and he knew you more than you could ever expected.
“I don’t know, princess,” Eddie says warily. “You sure you wanna be around me and the freaks on pretty boy’s birthday?”
You roll your eyes. “Eds, it’ll be like the first party when we hooked up. He’ll be busy with the boys and the girls, and I’ll be able to sneak you into the bathroom and make hot, wild love to you.” You smile at him innocently.
He coughs, laughing lightly. “Fuck, sweetheart, you can’t say shit like that. Gonna make me fall in love with you.” More than I already have, he thinks.
“Well, if you come, maybe I’ll fall in love with you.” More than I already have, you think.
It takes him a second and then he concedes, “Fine. But I’m gonna sell while I’m there.”
You snort, a sound he loves. “Fine by me.”
And you’d kept your promise, your legs wrapped around Eddie as he lifted you up against the bathroom wall, taking you hard and fast with only the loud music of Madonna to cover your desperate pants and moans as you came together.
Scotty will know//Scotty doesn't know//Scotty's gotta know…
You stay at Jason’s that night, lying beside him. He passed out immediately, nowhere near sober enough to even try anything with you, which you were grateful for. You lay awake, watching him sleep. He has a lipstick mark on his shirt and you wonder which girl gave him that. Was it innocent? You bet it was Chrissy Cunningham. You knew he’d had a crush on her before deciding he wanted you instead.
Good, you think. Maybe when you finally leave him, he can find solace in her. Maybe find someone who can love him like you can’t. The way you love Eddie.
I'm gonna tell Scotty Gonna tell him myself.
It takes three months for you to finally tell Jason.
It’s a school day and Eddie had kept you up all night with good weed and good music and now you were a zombie. It was the championship game tonight and you were expected to be there, to support Jason. But Eddie had told you all about the end of his ‘Cult of Vecna’ campaign and you wanted nothing more than to tag along and watch the whole thing.
Your leg bounces beneath the table, anxious. It’s too much now. You can’t hold it in. The secret is slowly killing you, keeping you from sleeping, from breathing. You can’t do it anymore. And you know it’s not fair on Jason, bad as your relationship is.
“What is that freak up to now?” Jason mutters as he sets down his lunch tray. You look up, your eyes falling on Eddie climbing onto his table across the cafeteria. Oh, god.
“Probably nothing,” you say causally. “Tell me about the game plan.”
You try to distract Jason from Eddie, but it doesn’t work as Eddie shouts, “But as long as you're into band or science or—” he sneers “—parties. Or a game where you toss balls into laundry baskets!” His eyes fall onto your table, where Jason stands up ready to fight. He watches you bite your lip, worried for him and his heart throbs. God, he loves you so much. He just needs you to leave that asshole and you could be his, officially.
Jason catches you watching him and his girlfriend. “You want something freak?”
Y/N, he almost says. He catches himself, your eyes wide, and he pulls a face at Jason instead, turning around so he can’t see him anymore. Anything to get that idiot of his head. Anything to stop him going over there and taking you in front of everyone.
Jason sits down and spits out, “What a freak, I feel like he just cursed me.” His friends all laugh, boosting Jason’s ego, but you press your lips together. Jason notices you not laughing and nudges you. “Y/N? I said he probably just cursed me.” He waits for you to laugh, but you don’t.
You swallow. “I don’t think it was that funny.” You say and you feel everyone’s eyes on you. Jason turns on the bench until he’s facing you.
“Y/N, what the hell?” Jason asks, his voice low. He doesn’t want to make a scene in front of his friends. To them, you have the perfect relationship. Top Jock and Good Girl, both from good families, both socially acceptable, both popular and attractive. Your eyes flick back to Eddie. Eddie, who has no money, no big house in the suburbs, no perfect GPA, no popularity. Eddie who likes metal and horror and has a band and plays D&D. Eddie, who’s branded a freak for being different.
You suddenly feel like you can’t breath.
“Y/N? Jason presses. “What the hell is wrong with you lately?” You look up, his eyes meeting yours. So he’s noticed your absence, finally, it seems. And now he’s had enough. Well, so have you as he begins to lecture you. “You’re hardly around anymore, you don’t come to games, you show up looking like trash, you don’t listen to me at all. Who are you?”
“You know what,” you say, loud enough for people around the cafeteria to notice. You’re causing a scene now, good girl be damned. You’re not going to sit still and look pretty for Jason Carver anymore. “Fuck this.” You stand up from the table, swinging your bag onto your shoulder. From across the room, Eddie and his club look up. Now everyone’s attention is on you.
“What?” Jason stands up, eyes wide.
“Fuck this,” you repeat, taking a deep breath. “And fuck you, Jason.”
You move to walk past him but he grabs your arm and turns you back to face him. “Don’t do this to me, Y.N,” he says dangerously. He’s embarrassed and angry and you can feel it. If you sit down and apologise, everything will go back to normal. You can still save this relationship. “Don’t make me look bad.”
You laugh bitterly. “There is is,” you say, shaking your arm free of his grip. “I don’t care if you look bad.”
“I swear to fucking god, Y/N—” he begins but you wave an arm.
“Save it. You don’t wanna look bad? You don’t wanna be embarrassed?” Your voices raises and Eddie stands from his table slowly. Everyone is staring. Everyone is waiting, shocking. You look around and then finally at Jason again, pointing to Eddie at his table. “I’ve been fucking Eddie Munson behind your back for three months, Jason. And guess what—I love him. I love him, do you hear me? So you can get fucked.”
Several people gasped. Jason’s mouth fell open and his friends lose it. You don’t wait for Jason’s reaction as you turn your back on him for good and walk over to Eddie’s table. He grins at you and presses a chaste kiss to your forehead. “Well, that was certainly dramatic,” he says by way of greeting, pulling a chair up so you can sit next to him.
“You should join Hellfire,” Dustin says immediately, impressed by your balls as you sit down.
You laugh. “Maybe that’s enough dramatics for the time being,” you say and the cafeteria falls back into its same old routine. Only now you don’t have to hide when Eddie’s hand finds yours on the table and squeezes three times, making your heart soar:
I love you.

Hello Readers!! This is my first chapter of my Billy Hargrove X Henderson!Reader I really hope you enjoy it. Please read below.
PLEASE READ BEFORE THE STORY /////
NO SPOILERS OF SEASON 4 OTHER THAN EDDIE
The Timeline is wrong. Please look over this error to make the story make sense ❤️
NO SCARY STUFF//…….. The timeline isn’t only messed up but I took out a lot so ,no scary stuff that did actually happen in Stranger Things, will apply in this Fanfic. Eddie is age down i believe
WARNING: Talk of cannabis / Drinking
I OWN NOTHING BUT THE ‘STORY LINE’ ITSELF. I DO NOT OWN ANY CHARTERS OTHER THAN ‘Y/N ….which is you so I don’t own you at the same time. 🤨🙃You get it Enjoy your story :: CHAPTER ONE
Billy Hargrove
A California boy, he was what everyone thought of when you say ‘Heartthrob. He was on top of his own world there,
Always the outgoing kid at the parties, the big flirt in school, people wanted to either be him or he with him
All until he was told
“We’re going to be moving to a nice town called Haw-” Billy stoped listening to his stepmom as he feels everything he has being ripped away
More bitter at his own emotions he felt less than leaving
Maybe it was because his mom,
Maybe it didn’t matter
Billy then made a silent promise to make sure he makes his place in this shitty town, to be free as possible. Even if he has to fake it
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hawkins , Indiana September 24, 1984 the town is buzzing with excitement and nerves, it all felt the same. It was the first day of school, and for Dustin and Y/n Henderson it was the first day of seventh and eleventh grade.
“ Y/n, Dustin ,hurry breakfast is ready!” Yelled the mom of the two.
There was a pair of shoes stomping towards the kitchen..
“I told him ten minutes. TEN!…it’s been twenty!” Y/n complains to her mother with a glare held towards the hallway where her brother was
“Mom I need the rest of my hair stuff out the bathroom and Dustin taking way to long” you continues as she plops down in a chair
“Your hair looks fine honey” your mom argues not taking her eyes off the plate she was making
“No I need to style it a bit and pack my bag with hair pins for the day.” Y/n explains, her mom just nods and mouths ‘oh’
Eventually Dustin comes to eat mumbling about how there is to many women in the house. After breakfast , you was gathering the rest of your stuff together you grab your keys which gets Dustins attention you nod towards the door and went to open it before your brother runs towards his room.
“Hey where are you going? I DONT WANT TO BE LATE!” You yell towards Dustins room. You hear him talking and then came around the corner.
“Can we pick up the gang please?” Dustin pleaded with big eyes
“Sure, hurry get your stuff” Y/n answered with a sigh kinda on edge not wanting to be late on the first day.
~~~~~~~
Y/n and a car full of boys pull up to Hawkins high and middle school,
“Sorry boys, gotta walk” you say with a tight lip smile.
You say your good byes and good lucks and walk towards the doors she’s walk through for three years now.
Y/n was a good kid, she loved photography, the sun, and socializing. She was considered annoying to the popular girls because Y/n isn’t tied down with titles. She’s open to ideas and doesn’t seem to stick with a crowd. Everyone can click with her ( maybe people liked her because she just listened), she always there for a laugh
You see Y/n had freedom, she smoked from time to time, went to party’s, to concerts, she had fun wherever she was. Y/n was free and she loved it she loved having a mindset so clear.
Although there are things that hurt her, she protects her happiness by any and everything she pleases.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The smell of pencils and cold air.
Passing old friends you haven’t seen during summer break making small talk about their appearance. When you finally get to your locker you hear you name being called from behind you before you can turn around your tackled in a hug.
“Robin” you laugh -
“-oh my gawd girl you look so different,
so good,
is that a new hair cut -
I’ve missed you so much-“ Robin rambles while pulling you in and out of a hug dramatically.
“Robin we literally saw each other two days ago,” you laughed at her as you pull away from the hug to open your locker
“I was mocking all the people I saw on the way here” you glare at her comment knowing you have just done that not to long ago, she doesn’t pick up
“Like c’mon people it’s barely 7:00” Robin rolls her eyes and swings her arms by her side in a bored manner.
Y/n walks in her first period and is greet by another one of her old friend. .
…The day was full of reuniting with old friends, and it was draining, you could barely keep your eyes open to eat your sandwich at lunch. You lay her head down on your bag as you thought a nap would help you get through the rest of the day. .. . .. …….. .. ….
. ~~~
“WAKE UP!” Hands slammed down in front of you making you jolt up frightened. It was just Steve Harrington. You hard blink at him annoyed.
“Hey I’m Steve,” he smirked like a flirt with his hand out for you to shake. You look at his hand before looking at him confused
“…….I know we’ve been in each other’s class for two years,” you say as you lay your head back down unbothered
Trying to play it off Steve chuckled
“Ok say I get it you need you sleep, so I ah uh will let you at it then” Steve says a little shocked but casual snapping his fingers before turning away
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A couple of weeks past and Y/n actually enjoyed school so far. She is apart of the yearbook and photography club. She has also made more friends with Jonathan Bryers, Wills brother, Carol ,and Tommy(by default), Eddie Munson, and more. Y/n had all ‘A’s and her teachers loved her, …..well most of them.
Y/n knew people talked about her friends and how they weren’t what Hawkins socially accepted, though Y/n didn’t give a f_ck she loved her friends.
She met Carol one day in line at lunch when Y/n complained about it being cold and Carol saying that it felt like Mr. Shaders history room which was also Y/n teacher, so she made a joke about the way he dressed everyday. That made you both laugh and caused Carol to invite you to her lunch table which you agreed for that day, only because Robin would be back the next. Tommy well Tommy was a default friend because he dates Carol.
Jonathan was in photography club and you related with him because your guys brothers are similar at being annoying.
Steve would still pop in every once and awhile, but it eventually stop bothering you, it became a routine. Out of everything that has happened during the first couple weeks of school the Strangest Thing is Y/n’s addiction -
Smoking weed.
Y/n wasn’t sad or anything just liked to feel withdrawn
You’ve smoked once before but now more regular and with your good ol’ stoner friend Eddie.
Eddie was chill, hyper as fuck, but chill at the same time. It was comforting. He wasn’t asking for a lot or drowning you in stress, just help distract and supply the ‘help’ to you.
Life is good really good for Y/n in Hawkins and she loves it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The same time in California is a family of four packing, getting ready to move to the ‘small shitty’ town of Hawkins.
“This is gonna be a waste” Billy mutters as he tapes a box.
Tumblr media
Hello if your still here, Thank you for reading the whole thing.
This chapter was getting to know the relationship that involved Y/n. To understand her support around her you know? I hope my years are not to far wrong. I believe Eddie is aged down in my story so yeah thank you for reading my first chapter. I’m still new so give me input on my story just keep it nice 😊

Alright girls, I know we done received a let down today, Suresh Clowns down bad by 500 points, but I’m not giving up hope…yet. I’m about to put on the biggest clown shoes and nose for this theory that I got going in my head. So here it is… I think Lulu knows that Suresh is using her due to this interaction she did after coming on the terrace due to hearing her name.
Tumblr media
I know this is a small interaction but hear me out.
1.) We have yet to actually interact with Lulu; however, she has not said one slick mouth comment towards MC. Everyone has been slick mouthing to MC and if you’re on Suresh route Arlo and Gabi immediately came in thinking that they were comparable to MC; however, Lulu hasn’t come in thinking she’s better than MC nor has she said any slick remarks toward her even though she said that she and suresh were “hitting it off”. I think this interaction shows us that Lulu will become (hopefully) a friend to us in the next coming episodes or later. Like she knows something that MC doesn’t and is just playing her part.
2.) Eddie gave us the tea on Suresh. This is reliable Eddie we’re talking about. Out of everybody in the Villa, Eddie has been the one keeping tabs on EVERYONE including MC and has been honest even when we didn’t ask for it. Plus out of everyone, I think he wants to see MC win and with him and Sursesh becoming acquainted I think he’s low key hoping they get back together, especially if Suresh chatted to Eddie about how he feels about MC.
3.) Lulu could have possibly heard what Suresh told Eddie and could have confronted him about it. In knowing this her and Suresh could have agreed to go into the Villa together as pals (win win for both); however, what they didn’t count on was Gabi. So to appear that they are into each other they’re being flirty with one another until Gabi leaves. We gotta remember when MC, Suresh and Gabi was on the terrace Surresh isn’t about to out right tell MC the plan cause Gabi is there and it’s highly possible that she would cause some mess to prevent that from happening.
4.) Lastly, Nicholas/ Johnny are just playing the game. I think the last episode sealed the deal for me that Nicholas (that’s who I chose) is just trying to make it to the final. He’s not really trying to get to know MC, just been wanting to know the gossip on any and everyone, including MC.
Anyways this is my theory. It may be a stretch but I’m trying to save this sinking ship by any means necessary. I’ve come too far for FB to pull this crap on us like we ain’t been the ones supporting them this season. This week episodes was truly sad and showed how lazy the writing is, especially after what Suresh said right before Casa Amor to this. It’s like they did a 360 on his character. But if all else fails, that’s what fanfic is for.
City Girls down 1000 today
ok your Lulu theory I lowkey agree..Idk if she full on knows shes being used but maybe she understands the situation and understands her position. Lulu has been home watching Love Island for weeks, she's seen Suresh graft MC and she knows he's down bad for her!! So much so that if you chose the interaction with MC saying, I know you still want me Suresh, Lulu says {im paraphrasing} "with the way he's been acting it's understandable for MC to feel this way." WHAT GIRLY!?! YOU AGREE?! because yes!! he has been flirting with her, begging her back, Lulu's seen all this and she knows this is what MC is referring to. Which is why she ushers everyone to bed and kills the drama for the night.
Eddie 100% is telling the truth. He has no motive to lie and beyond that he's never lied. he told Suresh about MC + Alfie and he told MC verbatim what was said.
I dont think she would keep all the flirty stuff going on or Suresh for that matter at least not on that first night. Suresh or even Lulu couldve pulled MC that night and talked to her alone and told her the whole thing if this were true. and I dont really think Gabi knowing about their plan really changes anything. Im thinking Lulu probably did vibe with Suresh but like Eddie said theres no spark, and suresh just brought her back to save his spot in the villa. I really dont think its anything more than that. I could see him not telling MC about it right away bc of the compatibility vote and wanting him and MC's couples to stay safe.

A Love Story Titled As Failure.
Steve Harrington x gn!reader
A/n: im in my sad era yet again finally got rid of writers block and i genuinely want to write, wanted this to be for eddie but lets all be serious steve fits the heartbreak genre.
warnings: angst, NO PART 2, breakups, arguments, kinda a toxic relationship, little bit of fluff but meh, i love writing steve being a total dumbass.
Tumblr media
~~
This was stupid, it was stupid how you couldn't get over him. Even though he hurt you, and it was obvious.
The man you thought would cherish and love you like he promised broke your heart in a matter of seconds. And it was all because of one stupid argument.
You haven't talked to anyone in days, shutting off everyone all at once, you didn't want there "its gonna be ok" or the "he doesn't deserve you".
You didn't want any of that, all you did day and night sit in bed curled up under the sheets.
Eyes puffy, mouth dry, too lazy to get up to change or brush your hair.
God you hated being like this but all you thought about was him, his scent, his laugh, his smile all the way to how he used to look at you.
You groaned as you heard a knock on your door. "Go away" your voice barely passes as a whisper.
The knocking didn't stop even after you ignored it multiple times.
You got up dragging your feet on your carpet. Slowly opening the door, your eyes widened seeing him standing right there Infront of you.
You stepped back being too stunned to close the door in his face as much as you wanted to do that, you couldn't bring yourself to.
You were frozen as he walked Infront of you closing the door behind him.
Your eyes stayed locked on the floor not daring to look up into his beautiful Brown eyes.
Why was he here?
Didn't he say he wanted nothing to do with you.
Yes him with his own words.
He broke your heart and now has the nerve to show up.
"They told me to check up on you" he said breaking from your trance, of course they did your so good friends wanted to make feel better by bringing the cause of pain right to you.
When you didn't reply he continued "You know i never meant to hurt you right? I know you deserve better than me and that you think I'm a total jerk but please let me try to make it up to you" he said again seeing now you lifted your head looking straight at him.
His eyes frantic trying to search yours as he was waiting for an answer "Please just say something." He said voice dripping with desperation.
"You hurt me more than you'll ever know steve." You said cold tone trying to hide your hurt. Because you knew any second now you'll burst in tears just looking at him.
"I-i know i know sweetheart b-but please let me try again give me a chance" he said getting closer now trying to hold your hand.
"P-please i-i'd do anything to make this work, tell me anything I'll do it, just please dont leave me."
You ignored him, this wasn't like other times this was different this time you didn't feel the sympathy and sadness you'd feel for him no. All you felt was pain, a pain that he himself caused.
"You know what's sad about this? Is that im trying so hard to hate you yet i can't , i cant bring myself to do that. You are all i think about and just hate." You said pushing his hand away.
"You hate me?" He said voice cracking at the thought of you hating him, you can't hate him, no this was your anger speaking his mind was telling him, trying to calm himself down.
You couldn't bring yourself to answer. Really you didn't like him nor did you hate him.
It was so overwhelming that the air around you guys could almost choke someone.
"Do you think i liked hurting like this?" Now it was your turn to ask and steves turn to find the answer.
"Please look at me please- come on we can try again i-i p-promise to not hurt you" at this point both your faces had tears streaming down.
You shook your head passing him as you opened the door silently telling steve to leave.
"I'm sorry but there is nothing you can do. So please leave. We both know this won't work, don't make this harder on me" you said looking back down again trying to control your emotions.
"Please your hurting me i can't do this, one more chance i promise it will be better this time." at that you grabbed his arm roughly faces so close to each other.
"Hurting you? Please don't make me laugh harrington, don't make promises you couldn't keep." You pushed making him stubble out the door.
"Im begging you, don't shut me out." He said before you shut the door in his face.
You turned around sliding down the door with your face inside your hands.
Unstable breathing as you felt steves presence still outside the door.
It was unfair to both of you , as you both saw the depressing and painful ending of your love story being written by no other but you and steve.
A relationship between you two that could never be complete, a relationship between you two that's more like a dream.
Maybe this is a sign for the both of you to stop dreaming about this painful love.
A love story that was titled failure as you both burned away the days together living on false hope.
The pair of you both saw this coming yet you didn't leave. You didn't stop this from happening, now thinking about what was the purpose of staying.
Picking up both of your hurt slowly, You weren't special.
Neither of you were.

Hi I dont know what to do with this info so sorry to dump this on you, but. Anita Mills “shot herself last August” at the same time that the Taliban took over much of Afghanistan in 2021, including Bagram which is where Eddie served at least part of one of his tours.
And maybe it’s just bc I’ve worked with so many 20somthing yo disillusioned army vets but I’m having so many thoughts re: Eddie’s breakdown triggering specifically from reaching out to his old unit, because he spent years in the desert with these people and probably transported injured personnel in and out of the Valley of Death for years and he saw so much as a medic and they all were shot down in the Valley of Death and even though he saved them, they’re all dead now and his “Do you ever think maybe it’s not worth it” as a firefighter yeah, but also as a former soldier seeing the pointlessness of so much suffering, is just punching me rights in the feels and I don’t know if this is coherent at all but I’ve certainly thought about Eddie Breakdown for like 36hrs straight at this point sooo
This is a wonderful submission by @hearteyesdiaz! Thank you so much for sending this in, my darling. It hits especially close to home because I too served (as I mentioned, service is mandatory here) and I don’t even wanna talk about how much survivor’s guilt is a real thing. So before anything else, I just wanna take a second and thank you for your work and what you do for veterans. You’re a real hero too, I hope you know that! *HUGS*
And yes, it’s clear Eddie went into firefighting as a continuation of his mission to save lives even after returning to civilian life, so whatever influences his perception of one thing, impacts the other as well. I said in my meta posts for 513 and 514 that I believe saving lives matters even if people then pass away after a shorter period of time than we would have hoped for. In fact, even if you keep them alive for just 5 minutes more, I think it matters. For families to know that someone did everything in their power to save their loved one, even if those attempts were ultimately unsuccessful, I’ve seen how it makes a difference. But survivor’s guilt isn’t about those things, is it? It’s not about anything logical, and Frank kind of scraped the surface on that one when he managed to show Eddie that he was doing his job, saving Greggs, when they were ambushed. Survivor’s guilt isn’t about what you reasonably could or could not do, it’s about the knowledge that you knew such incredibly good people, and they’re gone and you’re not, and it just doesn’t make sense either.
I could also talk about my Holocaust survivor grandparents and their survivor’s guilt. They were so young and defenseless when the Nazis and their collaborators came for their families and communities, there really was nothing they could have done. And I’m sure my grandma, for example, could have spoken to her brother who was murdered, he would have told her he’s so happy she survived, that anyone from their family did, ‘coz so many families, entire Jewish communities, were wiped out in the Holocaust. But I don’t think that mattered. On some level, she just loved him so much and he was the best person she knew, she looked up to him, and she was simply never over his murder or could process how the world could go on after that as if nothing had fundamentally broken in the universe. I’ll never forget the moments I would see her crying at a family birthday or wedding for our family members who should have been there to celebrate with us and didn’t get to, or the nights when I stumbled across her sitting silent in our darkened living room, staring at nothing, quietly dwelling amongst her ghosts.
We can’t change that, but we can try and bring good out of that. My great uncle might have been murdered, but I tell my family’s story as a part of my job at our museum, meant to help educate people against hatred, violence and intolerance towards people just because they’re different. And one group that happened to come and hear me? It resulted in his name being read at a ceremony in our parliament on that year’s Holocaust Memorial Day. IDK, it’s not a universal answer to survivor’s guilt, but it’s mine.
Thank you for sharing and for allowing me to babble on! I’m glad that if we can’t stop thinking about this, we can at least do it together. Lots of love to you, hon! xoxox
(I got an influx of asks, I WILL answer all of them, but it might take a sec. If anyone wants to check whether I've already answered theirs or to read my replies, here's my ask tag. Thank you! xoxox)

Hope you dont mind me sending this ask but I saw your post about Eddies parents and everytime I see a post about how horrible the Diaz parents are and how they're worse than the Buckleys I just think about Eddies end of probation party. Sure Eddie and his parents have differing views and things have been said that are not good but in the end they love their son and you can tell just by looking at this scene. Even though they disagreed with his career and where it was (LA instead of back in El Paso) Helena still cheered for Eddie, Ramon hugged him, this scene is solid proof that they love their son and I think if anyone truly believes the Diazs are bad people they don't fully understand complicated family dynamics. They want their son and grandson to have healthy stable lives and Buck would help with that if they were in a relationship. He helps with it even now when they aren't in one. I think the moment Helena and Ramon saw them being a stable family unit with two people that love Chris they would be on board because that is what they want for their boys as they have expressed in the past. It may be rough in the begining as most things are but in the end everything would be fine because they love Eddie. Just my thoughts, I totally get it if anyone disagrees with me.
I get what you’re saying. I kinda disagree but I do see a different perspective.
First (and this is not to you just in general) I also don’t like when people compare them to the Buckley parents because it’s a completely different dynamic. They both have shitty parents. (A lot of the B family drama has to do with trauma and heartbreak and grief and probably some mental illness on his mom’s end) People need to stop trying to make one set seem worse than the other because at the end of the day both Eddie and buck have their own set of deep rooted issues that stem from their parents and how they were raised.
As for the rest, I do think the diaz parents love Eddie and Chris but they go about it the wrong way. They’ve repeatedly made Eddie feel like shit with their actions and their words and showing up to his ceremony when they were already in town for his wife’s funeral (making shitty comments about her no matter how we saw her to their son who just buried his wife) doesn’t change that. Not to mention we saw how much emphasis and pride Ramon had when Eddie was given the silver star. Ramon seems to put ‘honor’ and promotions and status and what he views as heroic achievements above it all when it comes to Eddie so ofc he’s proud of his son becoming a firefighter in LA so he can go home and brag to people about it (when behind closed doors he was shaming his son for going out and making this his career)
Idk I just see a lot of my relationship with my parents in Eddie’s relationship with his. Never being told affirming words, always being criticized, throwing the fact that they’ve ‘helped’ back in your face when it’s convenient for them.
Again anon I respect your opinion I just don’t necessarily agree and that’s okay.

Secret admirer (S.R. x Reader)
Hi ! I had this idea stuck in my mind for a while, so here it is ! Tell me what you think and please send requests !
Thanks to my two proof readers @gublergooob and @marvel-love-posts thank you so much !!
MASTERLIST
~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~ ~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~
Secret admirer
Ship : Spencer Reid x Reader
Type : High School Au Fluff
Warning : maybe some curse words?? i dont even know
~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~ ~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~
Tumblr media
Spencer's eyes fell on you as you walked past him, earphones on, head down. You looked like you were in your own world, ignoring the people around you just as much as they ignored you. A soft smile grew on his lips as he saw your fingers tap your legs and in what he guessed was the rhythm of your music. His eyes followed the movement of your legs, realizing that they, too, were moving in sync with the music you must have been listening to. You really seemed to be enjoying yourself, and that simple thought made him smile inexplicably.
"When are you gonna tell her?"
Spencer jumped in surprise, turning around to see his group of friends, standing there with a knowing smile. JJ was the one who had talked, smiling softly, holding her books close to her chest. Derek was standing beside her, obviously enjoying this. Emily looked more tired  than anything. She had asked Spencer to talk to you for a long time now, but he never listened.  Then there was Penelope, she  had a gentle smile on her lips, but her eyes were playful. They were all so different, but they got along really well. The only two missing from the friend group were, Aaron, who had finished high school already and went to study law, and Professor Rossi, who had joined them all together around a game of crime, suspects, innocent and impostors. Spencer sighed and looked away, trying to find you in the crowd, but you had already disappeared, probably going to your not-so-secret place.
"I can't talk to her. She's gonna think I'm crazy!"
Derek let out a loud laugh, before Penelope slapped the back of his head. He sent her a glare, to which she responded with a playful air kiss.
"Trust me, pretty boy, she already thinks you're crazy."
Spencer let out a sigh, ignoring his friends who gently told Derek to shut his mouth. JJ shrugged, ignoring their friends too.
"Why don't you write her a letter?"
"Yeah" added Emily, suddenly less interested in hitting Derek and more on teasing him. "You can leave it in her locker. You probably know which one it is, since you're always starring"
Spencer looked down. That wasn't such a bad idea. You never had to find out it was him who sent those letters, and it might even make you smile. Spencer sent a thankful look to his friends, before the bell rang and he immediately started walking to his next class - in which, coincidentally, you were too. He sat down at his desk and, for the first time since he was a kid, he didn't listen to the teacher. For once, he focused on a piece of paper, trying to think of what he could write. He didn't want to sound like a creep, he knew enough to know a random letter could make you scared. He couldn't sound too emotional either, because it would be coming on too strong, and he couldn't afford it. After a while, he glanced at you, taking notes in your notebook, and he smiled. He looked back at his paper, and almost immediately started writing
"I'll hold you in my heart, till I can hold you in my arms
- Eddy Arnold"
~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~~°~°~°~°~°~°~
You weren't expecting it. You weren't expecting anything, to be honest. You had started the day thinking it would be like any others. You were wrong. When you opened your locker on monday morning, you were surprised to see a folded piece of paper. You could tell someone had slipped it in because it wasn’t there before. You hesitantly opened it, blushing as you read it. You flipped it around, hopping to see who it was from, or even just a hint,something, anything. But at your biggest despair, there was nothing. You looked around you hoping to see a familiar face in the crowd, someone watching you, but you didn't see anyone.
You looked at the paper again, before slipping it in your favorite book, which was always in your locker. Coincidentally, it was a quote book, and it made you smile even more. Someone knew you pretty well. You just hoped it wasn't someone just messing with you.
It went on for days, you would rush to your locker multiple times a day to see if there was a little paper. It started once a day, with quotes from your favorite authors, or little poems you already knew by heart. After a while, your collection of letters at the bottom of your locker grew bigger, making you smile. The letters slowly got more personal, and you could tell some of the texts were written just for you. You would always look around with a thankful smile, trying to show this secret admirer how much these messages meant to you.
Spencer spent nights and day trying to find what to write, he needed it to be perfect, just like he thought you were. He always looked at you from afar, loved you from afar. Your smile was something he found himself longing for.
Derek watched him, arms crossed obviously bored and tired of waiting for him to make a move, a real move, not simple, unsigned letters. Granted, he was glad to see the both of you smiling goofily, but it wasn't enough. He needed to do something.
It was Friday morning, and you rushed to  your locker as soon as you could, excited to see the message you would get. However, when you opened it, there was not one, but two papers. You took the first one, smiling as you recognized the handwriting. It was a simple quote, but it made you smile like a twelve year-old girl with a dumb crush. You didn't even know who it was from, but you could feel a connection, linked by the papers, by the thoughts he put on papers, how much he seemed to know you. Not knowing what to expect. you opened the second paper, your eyes widening as you read it.
"Science lab 1, 4pm."
You smiled before blushing furiously. Your secret admirer wanted to meet. If you had a best friend, they would probably tell you not to go because it was too dangerous, you didn't know who it was and if you could trust them. But you were alone, and it felt like you knew this person already. You looked around and nodded, hoping they would see you were ready to meet.
Spencer sighed as he walked up to the lab. He had no idea why Derek had asked him to go there, but he knew it wasn't good. Derek Morgan had the nasty habit of doing anything he wanted, no matter the consequences. Spencer stood in the middle of the room, looking around uncomfortably. When you walked in, your eyes met, and he froze. A shy smile grew on your lips and you put your hands together, blushing a bit.
"Spencer."
His eyes widened. He didn't think a girl like you could pay attention to someone like him, someone so quiet. But once again, you were the same. "You-You know my name ?"
You blushed and looked down, smiling shyly, before nodding slowly. "I-I do.. How could I not ? You're… Awesome.. Those letters… Thank you."
Spencer blushed and looked down, before looking back up at her.
"How did you know it was me ?"
You looked down. "I didn't know. I- there was a paper in my locker telling me to-to come here, and I thought… I thought it was you.."
Spencer frowned, before letting out a soft laugh. You tilted your head, obviously not understanding until he let out, in between laughs, a name.
"Derek"
It took you a bit of time before you connected the dots, you didn’t know his friends much, but Derek was the star of the school, with his looks and personality.Soon, you joined him, laughing softly. He glanced at you, your wide smile, your eyes sparkling happily, and his heart skipped a beat. You were so beautiful, and sometimes he felt like you didn't realize it. You soon calmed down, both of you smiling so widely your cheeks hurt.
"So.. It was you ? From the beginning ?"
Spencer nodded slowly, his smile fading. He was worried about what you would say, but you smiled softly and blushed a bit. "I-I hoped it was you.."
His eyes widened and he blushed a bit. He was about to talk when you cut him off. "A-are you gonna ask me out ?"
Spencer bit and you looked down, immediately regretting your question, until he nodded slowly and took a step forward. "If you-if you want me to."
You nodded gently, smiling up at him. He smiled back at you, obviously very excited at the idea. He hesitantly took another step forward, and you did the same. You waited for him to reach for your hand, before smiling widely.
"Tomorrow, at the park ?"

Warnings; angst, rumours, fluff.
💞💞
She was making her say to Gareth's house with urgency.
Gareth's new girlfriend Jessie was the reason she was going to talk to him. It was plainly obvious Jessie had a crush on Eddie and not Gateth.
Basically, Jessie was just using Gareth to get closer to Eddie who was her boyfriend. Yn wasn't having any of it.
When she gets to Gareth's house she tries to be gentle as possible about Jessie.
He listens and is hesitant about her reaction theories at first but soon comes around to it when he realizes that she is telling the truth.
Hes upset and she pulls him into a comforting hug not realising that Jessie has been spying on them the entire time.
💞
Jessie approaches him and he misses the smirk on her face as it is quickly replaced with a somber look.
"Eddie" she pretends to cry and he grows alarmed. He didn't know Jessie very well but he didn't want to leave her when she was this upset.
"It's so horrible. I don't know how to tell you this but I saw Gareth and Yn together, they were hugging at his house, I think she's cheating on you. They looked very friendly"
Eddie scoffs. Yn and Gareth wouldn't do that to him but he sees the tears in Jessie's eyes and begins to feel sick.
Were they really doing this behind his back?
Furious and feeling like he can't breathe because his heart is breaking he goes to find and confront yn.
💞💞
Eddie walks up to her and she smiles as he approaches just wanting his kisses and cuddles.
Something in his expression stops her in her tracks, he looks devastated and his eyes are red.
"Eddie?"
"Is it true? Jessie told me she saw you and Gareth together. She was so upset and said it looked more than friendly"
She gapes and feels her heart race nervously.
"No! She is lying Eddie. She doesn't even like Gareth it's you that she wants" Eddie frowns.
"It doesn't matter if she wants me because I don't want her and she would know that so why would she lie?"
Tears roll down his cheeks.
"We're done. I can't be with someone who goes behind my back, shit I always knew it was to good to be true that someone amazing as you wanted me"
She's crying now too and she desperately calls him back. The ache in her heart is overwhelming and she can't believe she lost the man she loves.
💞
Jessie is as smug as anything as she heads into Hellfire. Her plan worked.
She knows that Gareth and yn were only friends and their reaction was just friendly but what use was that to her.
Amused she is about to sit down when Gareth confronted her looking furious.
"Why did you lie about me and yn? She was warning me about you and I got upset and she hugged me to comfort me! Yet you spread rumors and it causes Eddie to fucking break up with yn and for him and I to get in a fight?"
Jessie shrugs and inspects her nails.
"I did what I had to do, Eddie is cute and I like him. So what if I didn't tell the truth? He is so gullible that it worked"
Gareth gapes at this and neither of them realizes that Eddie had heard everything.
Fuck! he should have believed his princess straight away instead of believing Jessie's lies. She played on his insecurities and caused him to lose the love of his life.
"I told you that and you didn't believe me," yn says getting up from her seat. Her eyes are filled with hurt and he feels like such a dumbass.
"Sweetheart, I am so sorry" she shakes her head.
"You should know me well enough to know I would never do anything like that Eddie, you broke up with me and we would still be broken up if you hadn't heard Jessie" she leaves before he can say anything, and he kicks himself for being so stupid.
Fuming he walks out to confront Jessie who pales when she sees his face.
"You lied to me? You played on my insecurities! I've lost the love of my life because of this fucking bullshit"
He turns to Gareth.
"Im so sorry man. I should have believed you"
Gareth nods.
"You should have but Jessie is a manipulative bitch so I get why you believed her"
Eddie turns back to Jessie.
"Okay, so I did it because I think you're cute, big deal"
His anger reaches fever pitch and he rounds on Jessie.
"Let me be very clear. I don't want you, I am not interested in you one bit. I love yn and only her" Jessie gapes, then snorts.
"It's your loss Munson" she storms off and he rolls his eyes. What a bitch.
Now he needs to make it up to yn and hope she forgives him.
💞💞
Eddie is gently tapping at her window, it's freezing outside and she doesn't want him to freeze so she let's him in.
"Baby, I am so sorry I believed Jessie. She was a manipulative bitch and I should have known you'd never do anything like she implied. Im a big butthead" she smiles a little bit.
"You're my butthead. She should have never manipulated you like that" he strokes her cheek and sighs sadly.
"I truly am sorry princess" she nods, feeling the complete sincerity in his words.
"When you said we were done I was so heart broken Eddie" he swallows thickly and holds her close.
"Did I mention I'm a butthead?" this makes her laugh.
"Come on babe, you can make it up to me. Lots of kisses, hugs and a lot of groveling" he nods eagerly and kisses her.
