#he'd say it more jokingly and less forsaken

“I love you” “it’ll pass” okay but which one is Eddie and which one is reader bc I don’t think I’d be able to handle either outcome

okay. just. hear me out. listen. listen to this idea i don't know if i could ever put myself through the heartbreak of writing. (tw: i'm bringing up the cursed thing that is eddie's canon ending in stranger things as of right now. yes. his... very, very, very long nap.)

"i love you" = reader

"it'll pass" = eddie

...and how ironic it is, for him to have insisted so many times that it'll pass, especially after the canon events of season 4. in which you are left alone, with nothing more than a memory of him, and all you can think is how it'll never pass. the love, the grief, the pain - he lied. it won't pass. even when you finally crave it to.

#im thinking big sad thoughts right now #i was going to save this ask in case i get around to writing it one day but even conceptualizing that tore my heart out #i can't handle writing the canon events very well i just start ugly crying in the corner #thank u ily <3 #mention of eddie's death? idk how to tag/tw that properly #anyways #he'd say it more jokingly and less forsaken #a self-deprecating joke that becomes a long term bit between the two of you #but it isn't very funny when he's gone and those words are all that can echo through your heart #even louder than any of the times he might have said those three little words back
