I love the idea that Eddie breaks his NDA and tells Wayne everything, but Wayne is totally nonchalant because he's a combat veteran who has eyes and actually used them while living in Hawkins. Just drops little lines into the conversation like

"Knew that Creel kid was no good"

"Saw one of those demma dog things once, thought it was a bald bear, they got a big mouth, right?"

"Well no wonder the Harrington boy can't hear out of his right side"

"Think she can float you up onto the roof to fix that damn leak?"

"Ted Wheelers always had his head up his ass so I wouldn't expect him to notice, no"

You and Eddie get high and have serious, deep conversations about life while hanging upside down on that geometric dome climber near the front of the trailer park. Wayne gets home from work and finds you two still out there talking each other’s ears off. So, he sneaks over to see what you and his nephew are talking about, assuming that it’s serious, given your pensive expressions. However, by then, your conversations have evolved into utter nonsense. Granted, you still find the current, nonsensical topics to be of the utmost importance due to your current highs and, thus, treat them with the same care as your earlier discussion topics. So, when Wayne finally gets close enough to hear what you’re talking about, he discovers that you and Eddie are having an in-depth discussion about whether or not there’s sexual tension between Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd.

I've got a lot of thoughts about platonic besties! Wayne Munson x Eddie's girlfriend/partner!Reader 🥺

You and Wayne bond over music that Wayne used to listen to when he was younger. His highschool sweetheart (the one who got away) loved listening to The Beatles, so when he was younger he learned how to play their songs for her. Now when you come over to hangout and Eddie isnt home yet, you two will sometimes play The Beatles and other songs to pass the time.

When he first heard the sounds of two guitars coming from the living room of the trailer he was confused, but when he walked in and found you in the armchair and Uncle Wayne on the couch, acoustic guitars in hand, he was flabbergasted. He hadn't seen Wayne hold a guitar since... ever. But there he was, strumming softly the melody of "And I Love Her" while you accompanied him. Then you grin at him from your seat and start singing for him. Eddie immediately takes a seat on the floor, it was the closest place and he just wanted to listen.

Wayne thought it was sweet, the way you serenaded his nephew with such ease. From the couch, Wayne could see the little hearts floating around Eddie's eyes while he gazed up at you from the floor. Eddie was never quiet or still for very long, but he sat still as a rock just listening. It was adorable. Wayne kept his eyes to the floor or the neck of his old guitar, this was a private moment, just for the two lovebirds, it didn't feel right to watch.

Soon, a little too soon for Eddie's liking, the song was finished. You're grinning down at Eddie who is beaming up at you, definitely tearing up a little because holy crap that was amazing.

"What'd you think?" You ask.

"Well, The Beatles don't suck when you guys play it," Eddie teases with a chuckle, making you all laugh softly.

"That's as good of a compliment I'll ever get from him, so I'll take it," Wayne fondly grumbles and sips his coffee.

"Alright, now it's your turn," you nod at Wayne, he makes a face at you.

"Whoa, now, no it's not," he shakes his head, "I stop when Eddie comes home, that's the deal."

"No no no, do it," Eddie teases, loving how weirdly bashful his uncle was getting.

"Awwww come onnnn," you plead, your fingers already plucking the intro smoothly, "you know you love this one, Wayne."

Well. You got him there.

"Fine."

When do you think the last time Wayne saw Eddie? Did he get back from his night shift on time to see Eddie before he went to school? Was it the night before? Did he give him a hug? When was the last time he said I love you? When was the last time he saw Eddie smile? When was the last time he saw his boy?

Part 4

Eddie and Hopper sat on the porch waiting for Wayne to arrive. 

“Listen Munson. I know we haven’t always been on the best of terms.” Hopper started.

Eddie hummed, feeling himself tense up.

Although Hopper had been instrumental in getting his name cleared of the murder charges, they hadn’t really had many conversations since. And any before usually involved Hopper reciting the Miranda rights and Eddie being shoved into the back of the police car. 

“But uh… while I won’t hesitate to arrest you again.” Hopper pointed his finger in Eddie’s face. The front door swung open as Joyce walked out onto the porch.

Hopper cleared his throat and continued. “I can tell that you’ve grown up a lot, kid. And the shit this town has dumped on you isn’t right. I will do everything I can to help you in this. And if you aren’t sure what to do with this little girl… your little girl, you can… you can always come to me one Dad to another.”

Hopper placed a strong hand on Eddie’s shoulder, sniffed then nodded before walking back inside.

Eddie was stunned and simply nodded in shock. 

Today was getting weirder and weirder, and given Eddie’s standard, this was next level intense. 

Joyce smiled warmly and took Hopper’s place pacing a soft hand on his shoulder. “It’s going to be okay.”

He took a deep breath, “...okay.”

Wayne arrived in his beat up pickup concerned that Eddie was sick, hurt or had gotten into trouble somehow. He was not expecting the news that he was basically a grandfather.

He teared up a little, then started laughing. Loud. 

“Shit Eds, I didn’t think you…” he stopped realizing Joyce Byers was beside them. “I didn’t think that girl… was your type,” giving Eddie a knowing look.

Eddie huffed a laugh. “She wasn’t. But I was still figuring things out 3 years ago. And it’s okay Ms… I mean Joyce already knows I’m gay. She’s safe.” 

Wayne smiled at Joyce. “Thank you for being here for my boy Ms. Joyce.”

“Of course! It takes a village right?” She smiled. 

“Speaking of which. When can I meet my grandbaby?” He asked. “Is it okay if…if I call her my grandbaby?”

“Wayne, I wouldn’t have it any other way.” Eddie smiled and hugged his uncle. “You’re gonna love her. She’s amazing…” Eddie led the way to introduce Evelyn to her Grand-deddie Wayne. 

Of course, Wayne instantly fell in love with the sweet child, reading her another book as she nuzzled against his side on the couch.

Eddie found El and Will at the table in the small kitchen and pulled up a chair.

“Hey guys, uh thanks for helping so much. Wow, this is so weird.” He ran his fingers through his hair. 

“She is very sweet. And she likes you a lot. You are a good Dad Eddie.” El smiled. 

He just smiled and stared at the table. “Thanks Supergirl.”

“Have you told anyone else?” Will asked curiously.

“Uh…no not yet. Please don’t tell anyone though okay? I want it to come from me.”

“Of course. It’s not our story to tell.” Will smiled at Eddie using the same phrase Eddie had used when Will came out to him in recent months. Eddie offered to be there to talk if he ever needed anything. He knew how hard it could be to be gay in such a close minded town. 

“I should probably tell Henderson soon though, so he doesn’t shit himself if everyone else knows first.” Eddie sighed. “Can I use your phone?” 

“Of course.” Will stated.

“Are you going to tell him on the phone?” El asked.

“Yeah, why not?”

“It seems like something to tell friends in person.” She replied. 

“Uh… yeah I guess so. I’ll see if he can come over.” Eddie didn’t know if he’d have the energy to deal with Dustin Henderson and a toddler today, but figured it would be worse to wait.

The phone rang a few times before Claudia answered and brought Dustin to the phone. Eddie invited him to come over to the Hopper-Byers house and waited on the porch with Will.

While Eleven and Joyce took to washing Evelyn’s clothing which reeked of smoke and something like cat urine. Joyce threw some of the pieces away immediately and decided she’d be making a trip to the children’s section at Goodwill the following day. 

Dustin Henderson was dropped off at the cabin and took the steps two at a time.

“So what is so important you need to meet me at Hopper’s cabin?” Dustin rolled his eyes.

“Well, Henderson. I just wanted to congratulate you on becoming an uncle.” Eddie smiled his snarky grin while Will tried not to laugh and choke on the soda he was drinking.

“Eddie, what the hell are you talking about? I’m an only child.”

“Ouch man, didn’t know you thought so low of me. Wow. Okay nevermind.” Eddie put his hands up in defense.

“Oh, well, yeah you’re like my brother. But what do you mean… uncle? Did you get a dog or something?”

“Ew, no. That’s too much responsibility.” Eddie grimaced. “I got a kid.”

“You got a kid?”

“I got a kid.”

“Where did you get a kid Eddie?” Dustin was starting to get tired of this bullshit.

“Well DustyBun, when a guy and a girl…” Eddie started and Will just about fell off his chair.

“Shut up. What the hell did you drag me out here for?” Dustin stomped.

“No, I wanted to tell you I have a kid. A daughter actually. Her name is Evelyn.” Eddie beamed. 

“You’re… you’re serious.” Dustin started to smile. Eddie nodded.

“How? When?”

“That’s a longer story…” Will stated from behind Eddie. “Sit down.” 

Dustin peeked through the cabin window to see Eddie’s uncle Wayne sitting on the couch napping with a toddler and his eyes grew incredibly wide along with his smile.

“You want me to be… her uncle?” He teared up.“Yeah, man. Just feels right.”

“Holy shit…tell me everything.” Dustin plopped down to hear about Eddie’s news.

I posted a fic recently and one of the very first comments was someone acknowledging the friendship I have given Wayne Munson and Jim Hopper. And can I just say I am so glad someone agrees???

Like, give me Wayne making Jim laugh so hard he's often surprised by it because it's been a long time since someone was able to get a genuine laugh out of him. But Jim can never seem to make Wayne laugh and it drives him insane because what the FUCK????

They are for sure Vietnam Veteran Buddies even though they never talk about their time there. It isn't even like they're the first person that the other has met that was over seas, there's just something about it, when they share their horror stories with each other once. They realize the other has been to Hell and back (if only they knew what their future holds...)

I love them being the kind of friends that don't see each other often but when they do it's as if no time has passed at all. They for sure talk shit about people in the town over drinks - they are the drama

Wayne cries when the town loses Jim Hopper. He attends the funeral, keeps his head down, and lets his nephew dote on him for a few days without complaining because it hurts so much worse than Wayne realized it would, losing a friend.

Wayne crying twice as hard when he realizes that Jim is alive and he doesn't even want an explanation because he knows it's going to be shitty - he just wants to enjoy his return for at least a few minutes.

I am begging you, give me Wayne sitting in the bar with Jim and toasting "To the kids" for both his gremlin nephew and Jim's sweet Sara

ALRIGHT BUT

I’ve been having flustered Steve thoughts.

The Party has NEVER seen Steve flustered. Steve’s always the one flirting and no one ever flirts back anymore so Steve’s never actually flustered.

But then Eddie Munson comes slithering along and he flirts with everyone just cause he can but nobody’s flustered by his attempts because he’s not trying to actually fluster them.

But for some reason he really flusters Steve.

Eddie uses this to his advantage and actually puts forth effort when he flirts with Steve.

Steve is flustered, bashful, embarrassed. He’s twirling his hair and giggling and he does this thing where he taps his fingernails on his front teeth when he gets distracted.

The Party was NEVER seen Steve like this.

Not even Nancy when they were dating.

Steve has described what he was like when he was flustered to them, calling himself stupid and saying he acted like an idiot to try and get them to just lay off.

All anyone sees is an absolute sweetheart.

Steve blushes really bright, starting with his ears and it just travels down from there. And also he’s really bad at hiding his smiles and he smiles so BIG when Eddie flirts with him. Like you can see every tooth and his eyes crinkle so much they basically close and his nose scrunches up.

And Eddie fucking THRIVES in it.

Because NO ONE else gets Steve like that.

Eddie’s witnessed Steve flirting with the girls of Hawkins. Has seen them all flirt back with varying degrees of bluntness.

None of them have gotten Steve nearly half as flustered as Eddie has.

UNTIL.

Eddie has Steve come over to the trailer to hang out. Steve by some turn of events ends up cooking and making grilled cheese and tomato soup.

Wayne comes home right as Steve is playing everything and Steve is DISTRAUGHT. Like “no Wayne it’s alright, really. I can make you some to it’s ok I like cooking you’re really doing me a favor.”

So Steve makes Wayne a grilled cheese to and refuses to let Eddie eat until they can eat together.

So they’re all sitting and then they start eating. And obviously it was a damn good grilled cheese— Eddie knew Steve could cook but good GOD.

And then Wayne puts his grilled cheese down, looks between Steve and Eddie, and tells Eddie “If you don’t marry ‘im I’m adoptin ‘im.”

And Steve BEAMS.

It’s that same smile he gets when Eddie flirts with him and Eddie is only somewhat livid.

Cause he totally gets the rush of having Wayne compliment you for the first time. He’s just such an honest man.

And it goes from there that the only people who can fluster Steve are Eddie and Wayne (Eddie romantically and Wayne platonic-fatherly).

They both go out of their way to compliment him constantly just to see him smile like that :)))

Aaahhhhh this makes me so happy!!!!

[dwobbitfromtheshire]

Just got this image in my mind that Eddie introduced Steve to Wayne as the guy who carried him out of hell. Wayne immediately saw him as the guy who could keep his boy safe, so he started inviting Steve over for dinner all the time. He didn't out Eddie, but he kind of started dropping hints about Eddie's availability. He brags about talented his nephew is to Steve, and when Steve reveals he doesn't know how to play the guitar, Wayne pushes Eddie to teach him. It goes on for a long time after that until one night, Eddie walks Steve out the door.

"Uh, is your uncle trying to set me up with you?" Steve asked.

"Yeah," Eddie said with a snort.

"Why doesn't he already know that we're dating?" Steve asked.

"I want to see how long I can keep this up for. I want to see if he breaks," Eddie snickers.

"BOY! I heard all that! You're not as quiet as you think you are!" Wayne hollered.

"Well, fuck."

Wayne Munson helping a wolf out of a bear trap, only for said wolf to start bringing him deer and rabbits and sometimes weirdly cash? And none of the raccoons have been digging round his trash like they usually do…

He gets a knock on the door one day and it’s his old buddy Jim Hopper with that Harrington kid standing sheepishly behind him, with his arm wrapped up in bandages and a long cut running through his brow. Hop cuffs the kid on the back of the head and then the boy is stepping forward and apologizing, then saying “thanks again, sir.”

It takes Wayne a few days to piece together that the boy is his wolf.

[sarcasticassian]

it’s Wayne Munson that helps Steve realise he’s bisexual and it’s after he’s been waxing poetic about Eddie just to rub salt in the wound

Steve offered to help Wayne wash the dishes because he wants Eddie’s uncle to like him for more than the fact that he helped save Eddie’s life so he’s helping and Wayne is minding his goddamn business but Steve won’t stop talking about how great Eddie is which is lovely for Wayne, he agrees with everything Steve is saying obviously but he’s also not sure what Steve’s game is because Wayne knows Eddie has a big fat crush on the boy and so Steve must be sending some weird signals and Wayne isn’t sure what to do until Steve sighs as he’s drying a dish and blurts out

“whatever girl gets to date Eddie is gonna be so lucky, sometimes I wish I were a girl so I could date him”

and Wayne just sort of freezes because he doesn’t want to out Eddie but what the fuck, this Harrington kid quite clearly likes Eddie back so he slowly starts to carry on washing the dish in his hand and casually tells Steve

“you know, you don’t have to be a girl to date another boy, Steve, just in case you needed to hear that”

and now it’s Steve’s turn to freeze and he’s clutching the towel in his hands and frowning to himself, looks like Eddie when he’s trying to do his math homework, until his face clears and brightens and Steve just goes

“oh” then “and do you think-“ before he bites his lip and looks over at Eddie

“go” Wayne says, nudging Steve towards the couch and he washes the last plate and makes his excuses about going for a smoke so he can leave the two of them alone and very much tries to ignore how Eddie’s bedroom door is firmly shut when he comes back in and just turns up the tv

Alternate timeline — El is found by the Munsons.

(I’m going with a headcanon i saw months ago on here suggesting that there would be no investigation at all cause Wayne would see people in suits on his doorstep, think they’re after Eddie and chase them off with a shotgun so they wouldn’t even bother coming back)

[probablyscreamingintothevoid]

Wayne wasn't thrilled by the whole Freak persona that Eddie insisted on putting on. Despite his distaste he never tried to stop him, not really. He discouraged it at times, but never told the boy outwardly that he needed to stop, doing so would have only made it worse. Besides, Wayne could see through it, see the incredibly real part of his nephew behind it all. A part of Eddie that deserves to exist, the confident piece of him, the one that came out when he was holding his guitar or Wayne's fiddle, the version of the boy he has seen for most of his life. The Eddie that isn't a coward, who stands up for his friends, his beliefs, the Eddie that doesn't run away. It just seemed like Eddie didn't know how to make this a part of himself without being the Freak Munson.

They're fighting again now, one of the few things they were proficient in these days. Eddie raised his voice while Wayne was careful to keep his own steady and firm. "You only care about how this town sees me, only give a shit about what everyone else thinks about your little nephew, and indirectly you. You're so obsessed with this town's opinion that you never even let dad hang around here for more than a few minutes at a time!"

Wayne swallowed hard, gave himself a moment to feel his anger and frustration before even attempting a response. He knew more about Eddie than Eddie did, made it a point to never tell him everything he's always suspected about Edward, everything he knows deep down because the kid deserves the chance to believe his father isn't the scum of the earth. Wayne was always patient with Eddie, knew he was different from most of the other kids, acknowledged that Eddie never favored anything that was especially masculine in his life. The boy likes his clothes dark and his music much too loud, still cherishes that guitar Wayne bought him when he was ten as if it were the greatest thing that God put on the planet even though they were both saving to get him a new one, the custom one, the one that matched energies with both Corroded Coffin and Eddie because they agreed that sharing the car right now was fine. Eddie who didn't know Wayne had been busting his ass to get Edward's van that had been rusting away in his old driveway since his arrest transferred into Eddie's name since his brother wasn't going to need it again, not serving life in Terre Haute right where he belonged. Wayne knew in his core that Eddie was mostly good and so unbelievably kind, knew that he wanted him to be safe and happy, that was all he ever wanted for the boy, after all.

He looked over at his nephew with his own too big eyes before snapping back. "I don't give a damn about this town's opinion but I want you to be happy and safe, son. And you're making that awful hard for yourself, don't you think?"

I hope you enjoyed my little piece where Eddie and Wayne argue because they just don't always understand each other

I got kind of bored and wrote this excerpt that I am definitely going to use in some of my writing in the future but figured I would post it here 🫶🏻

I've gotten back into writing recently and I'm so incredibly happy to be making something new! 🥰
