Just Another Miscommunication

Based on a prompt given by @i-less-than-three-you! I hope it met your expectations! I hope you guys like it and please leave your thoughts in the comments!

~*~*~*~

Steve had never been so hurt and offended in his life. After several months of dating Eddie in secret from the rest of the Party, they’d decided to tell them. Things were starting to get serious and they knew it would only be a matter of time before someone found out and spilled the beans to the rest of the group.

Eddie had been a little nervous to come out, this was his first serious relationship in the middle of Nowhere, Indiana, he had a right to be worried. But Steve knew that everyone would take it well, they’d dealt with literal monsters so being gay in comparison had to be a smaller deal than that.

What Steve hadn’t anticipated was how many shovel talks he would receive. He expected the one from Wayne (although that one still hadn’t come), maybe even one from Dustin. However, the rest of them had been a bitter surprise.

His first shovel talk came from Robin. They’d been in the middle of a slow shift at Family Video when she decided to break the comfortable silence.

“Hey Dingus, you know that you have to be careful with Eddie, right?”

“Robin, he’s a great guy. He’s not going to hurt me or whatever else you’re afraid of-”

“No, no, no. I’m saying you have to be gentle with him. This is his first relationship so you have to be gentle with him. You have experience from dating half of the girls in Hawkins, he doesn’t have that. Just, be careful not to break his heart, okay?” She looked at him imploringly until he nodded.

“I’m not going to hurt him, Robin. We’ve been dating for months and we’ve never had a problem before. I’m not going to hurt him.”

“Okay, I just… wanted to make sure. Now, go rewind the tapes. We just got some more returns.” He groaned for good measure but moved along regardless.

The next one later that day was Hopper. He was leaning against the Beemer in the staff parking lot behind Family Video waiting for Steve to get off work.

Steve smiled at him and pranced over to give him a quick hug that wouldn’t impact either of their street creds. “Hey Hop, what’re you doing over here? Did I forget plans we had?”

“Nah kid, I'm just checking in. The kids said that you were seeing Munson now?” He cleared his throat and continued in a whisper. “You know, romantically?”

“Yeah, we’ve been dating for a few months. Why do you have a problem with that?” Steve glared at him while he waited for his answer.

“Of course not! I just wanted to check in with you. And uh, I wanted to remind you that the Munson kid has been through a lot. Just, just don’t hurt him, okay?”

Steve sighed and shook his head. “You’re the second person to tell me that today. I’m not going to hurt him, alright? I love him.”

“Yeah but things change, kid. You feel like that now but you might end up hurting him later. Just be careful, alright?”

“Yeah, fine.”

“Good. Do you want to come over to the house for dinner tonight? I know El and Will would love to see you.” Hopper smiled and nudged his arm.

With his mood thoroughly dimmed, Steve shook his head. “Nah, I have to run some errands and then I’m just going to run home. I’ll see you around though.”

He said his goodbyes to Hopper and ran over to Melvald’s to pick up a prescription and a couple of snacks for his place. While he was there, he saw Joyce and decided to make some friendly conversation.

“Hey Mrs. Byers, how’s Will doing? Is he glad to be back in Hawkins? I know the kids like having him here to DM their nerd game.”

Joyce gave him a tight smile as she rang up his items. “Hi Steve. Yeah he likes it, I think he missed the boys, you know? Him and El weren’t big fans of California.”

“Yeah, I get that. Max always says it’s a lot hotter so I can’t even imagine. How’re you doing?”

“I’m doing well, thanks,” she said while scanning his various chips and snacks. “What’re all of these for?”

“Eddie. He can never choose just one flavor to munch on so I just keep a bunch on hand for him to choose from,” Steve answered, smiling at the thought of his boyfriend.

“You know, I've been meaning to talk to you about that,” she said, glancing around the empty store.

“Have you?” Steve asked apprehensively. He and Joyce didn’t get along super well so he was a little nervous for her to judge his relationship.

“Yeah. I want you to know that I support you guys and you both always have a safe space with me. But I just wanted to make sure that you took it easy with Eddie. That boy’s been through a lot and I know you didn’t always feel… accepting of queer relationships. Eddie is sensitive and you could really hurt him. So just, be gentle with him or I’ll have to send Hopper over to get your head on straight. Are we clear?”

Honestly, Steve was kind of lost but he nodded in spite of that. “Yep, crystal. I’m not going to hurt him, Mrs. Byers. Have a good day!”

Jesus Christ, did everyone think he was going to hurt Eddie? He knew that he made some questionable choices in the past as King Steve but he’d been trying to be better. Why couldn’t anyone see that?

When he got home, he saw various bikes laying all over his front lawn. Now, the kids could just want a pool day to get out of this disgustingly warm summer weather. However, if they were looking to give him yet another shovel talk, Steve might just lose it.

As expected, all of the kids were situated on his couch and turned to look at him when he walked in. They looked like they were staging an intervention for him.

“Okay look, I’m really not in the mood for this. If you want to use the pool, fine. But if this is yet another shovel talk to warn me not to hurt Eddie, you can leave.” Steve crossed his arms as he looked at them and only Max was brave enough to go against him.

“If you hurt Eddie, we’re going to have El open another gate to the Upside Down and feed you to a demogorgon,” she said in a deadpan voice with a blank face.

El snapped her head to look at her then back to Steve. “Steve, I will not. Max, Steve is like my brother. I will not feed him to a demogorgon.”

“What they mean to say is that we don’t want to see Eddie get hurt. If you hurt him, we’ll have to take matters into our own hands,” Dustin continued diplomatically. Both Lucas and Mike nodded but Will just shook his head in panicked confusion.

“Dustin, I thought we were coming here to congratulate him and tell him we supported him! Why are we threatening him? Steve won’t hurt him!”

The other kids argued that he definitely could and actions needed to be taken to prevent that. Will and El just kept trying to jump in and defend Steve.

And Steve just stared at them. “Okay, thanks so much for the threats. Everyone besides Will and El can leave. You can come back when you stop planning different ways to murder me when I hypothetically hurt Eddie.”

Steve gave all of the kids, besides Will and El, one last glare before he walked into the kitchen to make himself a coffee. Maybe that would ward off his approaching headache. He could hear muffled arguing from the living room where Will and El, his new favorite kids, were no doubt defending him. But alas a few moments later, he heard the noise stop and saw El pop her head into the kitchen.

“I am sorry Steve, Will and I thought that we were coming to congratulate you on dating Eddie. We did not know that they would threaten you. Friends do not threaten to kill other friends.”

“It’s alright El, it’s called a shovel talk. Usually a family member gives one to the boyfriend so they know not to hurt them. I got a lot of them today so I’m annoyed,” he explained to her gently.

“But, you will not hurt Eddie. You love him so why do people keep telling you not to hurt him?” She asked him in confusion.

“They care more about Eddie and they think I’ll hurt him,” his words visibly angered him so he backtracked a little bit. “It’s fine El, really. I’ll get over it.”

She moved towards him and pulled him into a hug. “I love you Steve and I do not think you will hurt him. Even if you do by accident, I will not feed you to a demogorgon.”

He barked out a quick laugh in surprise, “thanks El, are you and Will going swimming?”

“No, we are going home to paint miniatures for Will’s new DnD game. Would you like to come with us?” She pulled back from the hug enough to look up at him.

“Nah, I’m just going to relax here but thanks for the offer. Have fun, okay?”

“Okay Steve, thank you!”

Then, Steve was alone. He was emotionally exhausted and hurt. How could everyone, besides Will and El, believe he’d hurt Eddie? He’d changed so much over the years and now he felt like he was right back where he started. How could they have such little faith in him?

~*~*~*~

Eddie was expecting to spend a nice night with his boyfriend after a few long days without seeing him. Between work, spending time with the kids, and practicing with the band, it felt like forever since he’d gotten to spend any quality time with Steve. But when he walked through the ajar door of the Harrington home, he didn’t find a boyfriend that was happy to see him. Instead, he found Steve sitting on the kitchen counter with a troubled look on his face.

“Stevie, you alright? I hope it’s okay that I came in, the door was open,” he stepped closer to Steve and pressed a gentle kiss to his forehead. “What’s going on?”

“Has anyone given you the shovel talk about dating me?” Steve asked him, his eyes staring into his eyes desperately.

“Um no, why? Should they have?” Eddie asked, confused.

“I don’t know, I guess not. Nearly everyone in the Party has given me one. Robin, Hopper, Joyce, the kids. Why haven’t any of them told you not to hurt me?”

“You want me to get threatened?” Eddie didn’t understand why Steve was so upset. Did he think that he was going to hurt him?

“No! I just- why does everyone automatically assume you’ll be the one to get hurt? Why won’t they tell you not to hurt me? That’s just as much of a possibility as me hurting you!”

“You think I’m going to hurt you? And you’re mad that no one else thinks so?” So Steve expected him to fuck this up?

“Yes!” Steve nodded at him.

“I would never hurt you Stevie and I’m upset that you think I would. Why would I do anything to ruin this? You’re so perfect Steve that I would never do anything to mess this up.”

“Ed-”

“No! What’s the point of dating at all if you’re just waiting around for me to break your heart? That’s all I do though, right? Eddie the Freak, destroyer of all things good. Is that it?” All of the happy feelings that Eddie felt when he first walked through the door were long gone now. What, Steve was just waiting for Eddie to ruin everything like he always did? What the hell.

“Eddie, that’s not what I meant!”

“Whatever Steve, I’m sorry that you’ve seen this coming the entire time and I’m sorry you were right. I should’ve known that I would fuck this up too.” With that, Eddie marched out of Steve’s house and directly to his van. Admittedly, he shouldn’t have left. He should’ve stayed and worked this out with Steve.

However, he didn’t want Steve to see the angry tears that streamed down his face on his drive home. He knew deep down that this was all a misunderstanding but Eddie couldn’t get over the fact that Steve was just another person that saw the worst in him.

~*~*~*~

Wayne walked into the trailer to find it completely dark and silent, both unusual for Eddie. His nephew constantly left all of the lights on regardless of whether he was in the room or not, a quirk that took a toll on both Wayne’s annoyance and the electricity bill. And silence was not a commodity often associated with Eddie. The boy was loud in all senses of the word so for the trailer to be quiet, devoid of guitar riffs or excited rambling, was worrying. With a peek out the door, Wayne saw that Eddie’s van was out there which meant that he was home.

When he looked into Eddie’s room, he saw a pathetic lump hidden under the covers with only an unruly mop of curls poking out. The covers twitched slightly as the lump sniffled. “Eds? Y’alright?”

“No,” he muttered, hiding his face deeper into his pillow.

Wayne sighed and kissed all thoughts of coffee and a nap goodbye. Nonetheless, he sat at the edge of the bed and pulled at Eddie’s shoulder until he turned over. His eyes were red and irritated and his skin was flushed. “What the hell happened to you? I thought you were spending the evening with Steve? He do something?”

Eddie’s face screwed up in sadness as more tears welled up in his eyes. “Why do you automatically assume Steve did something? I’m the one who always fucks everything up, Uncle Wayne. Me! Why is everyone threatening Steve not to hurt me?”

Wayne looked at him in bemusement for a moment. “So you did something?”

Eddie made a muffled noise of outrage and pulled the covers back over his face.

“Boy, I can’t help ya if ya don’t use yer words. Tell me what happened and we’ll fix it,” Wayne tried to reassure him.

“Everybody has been giving Steve the shovel talk and telling him not to hurt me. But no one has given me the shovel talk to tell me not to hurt him. So Steve was upset and told me that I would be the one to hurt him and he was offended that no one else thought so. And then he said that I would be the one to hurt him!”

Wayne just looked at him for a long moment before lightly smacking the side of his head.

“Hey, what the hell!” Eddie yelled in surprised anger as he yanked the covers off of himself.

“Don’t be a dumbass then! Steve was trying to tell ya that he was hurt and ya turned it around on him! The kid’s not saying that yer gonna hurt him, he’s saying he wants people to stop assumin’ he’ll be the one to hurt you when he feels so much for ya.”

“So he’s not saying that I’m going to fuck everything up?” Eddie asked quietly.

“I think he’s sad that everyone else is taking your side and assumin’ that he’s going to be the one that ruins things. He just needed ya to listen.”

“What have I done?! How do I fix this? Uncle Wayne, help me!” Eddie jumped out of bed and started pacing in front of him.

Wayne sighed again, he didn’t ask to be roped into these situations. “Look Eds, go to him and say that you’re sorry and you took it the wrong way. Then tell him that I gave you a shovel talk cause if you hurt that kid again, I’m gonna do more than smack ya upside the head, ya hear me? Now get goin’. Ya best stay over there so I can get some rest, alright?”

Eddie laughed and jumped off the bed, “thanks Uncle Wayne! You’re the best! I’ll go fix it and then tell you about it over carry-out later! Love you!”

Wayne shook his head as he watched Eddie run out the door, “love you too, kid.”

Both boys came back to the trailer a few hours later with takeout in tow. Eddie’s smile was beaming once again and Steve looked relieved. He gave Wayne a quick hug and a whispered thank you over the burgers and Wayne knew that they’d fixed things. There would be many miscommunications between the boys in the years to come but as long as they had Wayne to play interference, they’d be alright.

CHIEF'S DAUGHTER - E.M

Warnings: mentions of sex, mentions of oral, main character death, mentions of trauma, adoption, mention of drugs, being caught during sex, secret relationships, adoption

Pairing: Eddie Munson x Fem!Hopper!reader

Summary: you loved your dad but you loved your boyfriend Eddie munson too. So what happens when your dad's out and el and Mike catch you in a compromising position with your boyfriend.

Wordcount: 3k

You had never really felt like you belonged anywhere.

You had been eight years old when you had been adopted by Jim Hopper, two years before the diagnosis came through about Sara.

Your parents had died earlier that month in a shooting and Hopper had been there when it happened. He had felt so guilty about the fact that he hadn't been able to save your parents that he adopted you. His wife had been a bit reluctant to the idea but agreed that you deserved somewhere safe to live.

Sara, who was four years younger than you were, loved you instantly, loving that she had an older sibling to play with.

It all changed in the fall of 1977. You were ten years old, running around with Sara around the park as she kicked the leaves around on the floor when she began to cough. You called out for Hopper and his wife and they rushed to your side, Hopper trying to help with his daughters breathing.

The next few months were difficult for everyone with Sara being diagnosed with cancer and your adoptive parents fighting constantly.

Your younger sister had died in 1978 and in 1979, your parents had split up. Your adopted mother couldn't stand to look at you after what had happened to Sara. she hated that her daughter wasn't here anymore

So you moved to Hawkins and there you stayed, fitting in instalty and joining the community. It was your dad's old hometown so he knew everyone and you joined him, missing your sister and your adoptive mother.

Now it was the summer of 1985 and you sat in your room in the cabin. El had moved in nearly two years ago in December of 1983 and you loved her like a sister. Since she had been exposed to the world, you played it off as Hopper having adopted another daughter around November of last year.

You heard a noise at the window and turned to see your boyfriend Eddie Munson climbing through the window, a smile on his face.

“Eddie!” you exclaimed when you saw him, your heart was pounding out of your chest, you were glad it was just him.

“Sorry princess,” he said with a smirk, slipping through your window as he came to sit down on your bed. He had snuck in here countless times in the last six months when the two of you started dating.

“It's okay, you just scared me,” you said, leaning in, pressing a kiss to his lips.

He chuckled, pulling you over so that you were sitting in his lap. He had never expected to fall for the chief of police’s daughter, especially not the one who was in the year below him at school - however now because he was being held back they were going to spend their senior year together and this time, he was determined to graduate.

“Is your dad home?” He asked, leaning forward to collide his lips with yours again, this time it was a lot rougher and needy.

He knew that your dad would never accept him especially with him being older than you but ever since you had met in September of last year in the woods, he had never wanted to let go of you. You'd gone through a lot at that time with your sister's identity being exposed and hopper legally adopting her but you decided to finally ask him out and you'd been happy ever since.

“No, just El and Mike, I’m supposed to be looking after them,” you said as he moved his lips away to kiss along your neck and jaw.

“You're doing a good job,” he said sarcastically, looking up at you with those big brown eyes.

“Oh shut up and just kiss me,” you said and he chuckled.

“Yes ma’am,” he muttered before pulling you in for another kiss, your hands flying to his hair as you deepened the kiss.

In the other room, Mike had gotten up to change the radio channel when he heard a loud moan coming from next door and some people whispering to each other. He sat back down, his brows furrowed as he tried to work out what it was.

“What's your sister doing?” Mike asked as he looked up at El.

“Probably just watching a film, or calling a friend, it's okay, all her films make funny noises like that,” she said, clearly oblivious to what was going on in the room next door.

She had nearly caught you and Eddie before but you told her the noises she was hearing was just from a scary film you were watching. And it was true, you and Eddie had been watching a scary film but had escalated to much more and the two of you were clearly being too loud.

“Okay, uh-” Mike said before hearing another loud moan, his face heating up as he realised what was going on next door “-Does your sister have a boyfriend?”

“Y/N? No way, dad doesn't approve of any of those boys,” El said, bored of the talk about her sister.

“Why don't we go get a drink, we’ll check if your sister wants one too,” he suggested, eyes darting to the wall when he heard another thud and a groan, someone whispering something.

El shrugged her shoulders, getting up and grabbing his hand and walking out. She knocked on your door but when she received no answer, she pulled it open, confused at what she was seeing. Mike's face went bright red as he realised he was right, you did have a boyfriend.

You heard the door open and gasped, Eddie moving to cover you when he realised that you two had just been busted.

El looked at you confused, wondering what was going on. Eddie's head was between your legs, your hand buried in your hair but he had moved away to cover you up the second he heard the door open.

“Y/N?” she questioned, her voice loud and accuser as she looked at the scene in front of her.

“El! Get out!” you exclaimed, embarrassed that your sister had caught you in such a compromising position.

Mike grabbed El’s hand, his face red as he ushered his girlfriend out. You could hear the two of them talking loudly in the kitchen and knew that El was going to have so many questions.

Eddie pulled his head back up to look at you, wiping his mouth slightly and you shook your head, “You're disgusting,”

“I'm sorry baby, she was gonna figure it out eventually,” he said, passing you your underwear and jeans, watching as you pulled them on.

“Oh God, she's gonna tell dad!” you exclaimed with a groan once you'd gotten changed, realising how bad this was going to be.

“She won't tell him, we’ll just bribe her,” he said, grabbing your hand and pressing a kiss to it. He wanted you to calm down, it wasn't as bad as you were making it out to be and he just wanted to help you out.

“My sister doesn't understand what bribery is,” you said, hiding your face in your hands, “She doesnt understand what sex is,”

“She’s 14, how does she not know what sex is?” he asked and you groaned, telling him it was a long story. You wish that this night had never happened.

You sighed as you walked out of the room, Eddie standing taller behind you. Mike and ell turned to you and you saw where they sat, next to each other on the dining room table. You looked back at Eddie and he nodded. You both sat opposite the two teenagers, the silence in the room awkward.

“Hey El, Mike,” you said, trying to break some of the tension in the room.

“Hey Y/N, who's the guy?” Mike asked, his voice cocky.

“Mike, El, this is Eddie Munson. Eddie, this is my sister El and her asshole boyfriend Mike,” you introduced everyone. Eddie held his hand out and El glared at him before she shook it, still confused as to who this boy was that had been near her sister.

El loved you as a sister and saw you as one and she didn't like the idea that you had a boyfriend that you were hiding from everyone. She knew that their dad wouldnt react well to it but she still wished that you would have told her.

“We just wanted to talk to you about what you saw,” you said, hands clasped in front of you.

“Was he hurting you, you seemed pretty distressed,” El said, her face blank and hard to read.

She was very protective over you and just looking at Eddie, she was unsure if he was the right guy for you. Now she understood how Hopper felt about her and mike.

“No, no, no,” you reassured, your voice almost too fast. You didn't want her to think he was hurting you.

“Although she does like that,” he muttered, forgetting where he was for a second.

“Munson!” you exclaimed and Mike snickered. You leant over, hitting the boy on the back of the head. He placed his hand on the tender spot, glaring up at you.

“Listen El, when two people love each other then they hang out and kiss a lot,” you explained, unsure how to navigate this conversation.

“Like me and Mike,” she said, beginning to catch on.

You nodded, “A bit like you and Mike, but if I ever catch you two doing what I was doing then you better expect to see Mike stuffed up our chimney,” you said, glaring at Mike because you knew he would understand.

He sighed and Eddie chuckled at the boy. It was clear to him that Mike knew what the two of you were doing but for some reason, your sister didn't understand.

“I don't understand, why can you do whatever that was and I can't?” she asked, almost like she was intrigued.

“Because I’m older El, it's something that adults do,” you explained.

You knew that she needed to learn what sex was eventually and you would probably talk to your dad about him explaining it to El because you did not want to do that.

“I still don't understand what he was doing to you,” she said, her brows creased as she glared at Eddie.

She was still convinced that the sounds from her sister was one of pain and Eddie felt slightly intimidated by the gaze of this fourteen year old.

“He was kissing her somewhere other than her mouth,” Mike said with a snicker.

“Mike Wheeler if you keep talking I will rip out your oesophagus and hang you with it,” you said, pointing a finger at him.

Hopper had heard the last two sentences and he kicked the door open, his face red as he looked at the scene in front of him.

The four of you all jumped in shock, looking at Hopper as he stood at the door, clearly angry with what was going on. He took in the scene and then noticed Eddie had pulled his hand away from your thigh the second the door opened.

“What's going on here?” he asked, giving you all a chance to explain first.

“Dad, you're home early,” you said, a shaky tone to your voice as you realised you'd been caught.

Growing up you had always been troubled, constantly ending up in detention because you misbehaved. He blamed it on himself and you just wanted to show that you were as strong as him. But you recognised that look of disappointment and anger in his eyes as he realised you were with eddie.

“What's going on here? And who is this?” he repeated, waiting for you to explain yourself

“Hey Hop, this is just one of Y/N’s friends from school,” mike said with a snicker. He knew he hadn't done anything wrong and loved watching you get told off.

“Yeah, I know who he is. I've busted him for multiple things, speeding, suspicion of drug dealing, loitering, underage drinking,” he said.

“Hi Chief, I was just dropping over some study materials,” Eddie tried to play it off but he was sweating bullets as he realised he was going to get caught. He didn't want hopper to break the two of you up, he had never loved anyone more than he'd loved you.

He loved you in the way that meant he wanted to spend the rest of his life with you in his arms, that he wanted to marry you and have a few kids and live in a nice house away from hawkins.

“Studying my ass! You two are in so much trouble,” Hopper said and you winced at the idea of your dad punishing you for it.

Mike laughed and I glared at him again and he shut up. Hopper had the same glare directed at Mike and in any other situation, Eddie would have smiled at the cute similarities between you and your dad.

“Mike and El, you will go to Els' room, leave the door open,” Hopper said, not looking at them as he still glared at Eddie whilst the two ran off.

Hopper could already tell that Eddie was a bad influence. He was 19 year old and had tattoos and long curly hair and was in a rock band. That was not what he had expected from his little girl. But really, all he wanted was someone who would treat you right and it would hurt him a bit if it was a delinquent like eddie.

Eddie reached down, his hand lacing with yours and it calmed you down. The show of solidarity made you smile and you knew he loved you and wasn't going to let anyone ruin this.

“Eddie Munson, do you care to tell me what you were doing with my daughter?” Hopper asked, his gaze focused on the older boy next to you.

“Dad, I can explain,” you tried to interject but hopper held his ground.

“No, I want him to explain,” he said and Eddie sighed.

He wanted to prove himself, he wanted to prove that he was good enough for you, “I was in your daughter's room and we were talking. We've been together for six months now sir and I'm in love with her,” he explained, his voice steady but his hands were sweating and his foot was bouncing up and down.

“Just talking?” Hopper questioned “I hope you weren't doing what I was thinking, Mike said kissing other than the mouth,”

“We might have been sir,” he said, holding his ground.

“You're using protection?” he asked.

Hopper liked the way that Eddie was standing up for himself and for you. He respected that in a man and was seeing a different side of the delinquent he frequently busted and tried to arrest for distribution of drugs,

“Yes sir,” Eddie confirmed, a faint blush on his cheeks.

“You love my daughter?” Hopper asked with a slight shake to his voice.

He wasn't expecting the day to come so soon where you didn't need him anymore and that you had found someone who made you this happy. He could tell that from the way that Eddie turned to look down at you, a smile on his face.

“More than anything in the world,” he said, his eyes meeting yours.

Hopper was a bit emotional at the way that he was looking at you, like you hung the moon and the arts but he held in the feelings. He looked down and saw your hands intertwined, his finger brushing against the blue hairband on your wrist that belonged to Sara - you and El had one each.

“Munson, next time you come in through the door like a normal person and like El and Mike, the door will be open 3 inches, always,” Hopper said, a slight smile on his face, “And no being alone in this house, especially not with Mike and El next door,”

Eddie turned to Hopper, shocked that he had actually approved og him dating you. He had a smile on his face, his heart pounding.

He had only had one girlfriend before you and the relationship[ only lasted about two months and he definitely didn't meet their parents, that wasn't his style. He had a few hookups but nobody could ever compare to you.

Hopper held his hand out and Eddie shook it, a smile on his face, “Thank you sir, and trust me, I'm never gonna hurt her, never,” he promised.

“You better not, now scram,” he said and you both got up.

You walked him to the door and he grabbed your face in his hands, “I love you baby,” he said, meaning down to kiss you.

You smiled against his lips, “I love you too Eds, now you should probably go,” you said, nuzzling your nose against his.

He walked out, blowing you a kiss before walking to his car that he had parked far far away so that your dad hadn't caught onto it. You closed the door before turning back to see your dad smiling at you as he sat at the dining table, looking at the giddy lovesick grin on your face.

“You really like him don't you?” he asked and you nodded.

“I love him dad, I really do,” you said and he smiled, pulling you in for a hug.

“I can tell,” he said before pulling away, looking down at you, “But if he breaks his heart i will kick his ass,”

“He won't, don't worry,” you said, a smile on your face as you leant against your father's chest. You didn't want anything to change. You were so happy with your dad, your amazing sister, the best boyfriend in the world. You wanted it to stay like that forever.

Here, in Hawkins, surrounded by the best people you had ever met, you finally felt like you belonged.
