I have this image in my head of Eddie sitting on the couch, eyes glued to the tv screen as he plays his video game. We try to seduce him but he’s so into it he can’t stop. Because ultimately he is just an adorable nerdy loser boy.
*****
“Hiii baby.” You sing as you walk into the living room to see your husband fully engulfed in his new fantasy game.
“Hey sweet cheeks.” he smiles, glancing your way for a split second. You plop down beside him leaning in to kiss his cheek. He kisses the air in response making you giggle.
“How long have you been on here, baby?” you tease, leaning back in, kissing his neck this time.
“Uhhh, not long. Since lunch I think.” Eddie says, clearly not realizing it was already 5pm.
“Mhmm.” you hum, nibbling up to his ear as your hand rests heavily on his thigh.
“Baby, this level is important.” he mumbles, barely looking your way.
“More important than this?” you purr, running your fingers up and down his thigh softly.
“Well.. I mean. No but also-.”
“Eddie!” you gasp, making him chuckle.
“Babe, I’ve been trying to beat this for weeks and I’m so close. So close, gimme like 10. Then I’m all yours.” he promises, a hint of laughter in his tone.
“Ugh, you’re such a nerd.” you groan, standing up and heading for the kitchen, Eddie’s eyes remaining on his game.
“You knew that when you married me, sweetheart!” he calls back making you roll your eyes.
“No sex for you tonight.” you yell back, a smirk spreading across your face when his head whips around.
“You’re evil.” he whines, his eyes now flicking back and forth between you and his game.
You reach in the fridge, grabbing a beer before making your way back over to him.
“Play your game but you owe me.” you tease him, passing him the bottle.
“I love you. Have I told you lately you’re my favorite person ever? And look how beautiful you are. Prettiest thing I’ve ever seen. I just can’t get enough-”
“Okay, alright.” you giggle, kissing his forehead gently.
Jason Todd who loves when you're lazing about and your shirt rides up, exposing your plump stomach. Who tries not to be too obvious, knowing the moment you become aware of it, you'll readjust your shirt.
So he pretends to focus on the random show playing on the TV in the background. Staring at you from the corner of his eye as you looked so damn cozy sitting on the cushion next to him.
With a knee propped up and the other leg outstretched. Growing restless, Jason finally rests a hand near your belly button. 'Jay?'
'You're so soft.' He whispers, rubbing his hand across your skin. He doesn't care that there's blemishes or bumps. He finds it rather interesting when he comes across a happy trail.
A curious explorer of your body even though it's not his first time seeing it. 'So pillowy.' Squeezing the bits that spill over to your love handles. All his movements made the fat jiggle.
His calloused palms were a stark yet welcomed contrast. As the touch had no malicious intent, exposing the softer side of the dangerous man.
Caught up in the moment, Jason dips his head. Causing you to think he's going to kiss you. Just for him to leave a slobbery raspberry on your stomach. 'Jason! You goof!' Laughing as you fail to sound mad.
Eddie is such a pitiful, simpy boyfriend—he hates your stuffed animals, they get more cuddle time than him.
God forbid you have one big one you like to sleep with, he'll roll away from you and pout, muttering out a poor, extra shrill imitation of your voice, "Oh, Eddie, I love you so much—just not as much as I love Mr. Gordo. Mr. Gordo takes precedence. If I were the captain of the Titanic, I'd tell all the officers to say, 'Women, children, and Mr. Gordo first,' just so I could leave you to drown and start a new life with my true lover."
Having turned over to watch his back shimmy as he mocks you, you're barely able to contain the laugh you so badly want to let out at your boyfriend's self-made misery. "Eds, that doesn't even make sense. The captain went down with the ship. Also, I'm a woman. I wouldn't have been a ship captain at the time."
"Oh, I'm sorry." He jerks his head back for a second, spitting out the insincere apology somewhere vaguely in your vicinity. "Forgive me—for in my moment of severe emotional turmoil, I failed to craft a compelling hypothetical tale of your infidelity!"
Softly chuckling at his incessant need to use verbose language when upset, you reach for him, gently rubbing his back.
But Eddie's feeling particularly slighted tonight, so he jumps away from your touch, contorting his abdomen outward to avoid your consoling hand.
"Don't touch me, cheater!"
Not bothering to try again, you pull your hand back, raising an unimpressed brow at his melodrama. "Eddie," you chide.
"Infidel!" he accuses over his shoulder, scooting to the very edge of the bed.
"Eddie!"
You can't believe him—he's acting like you truly offended him by simply holding your stuffy at night. Apparently, you're not allowed to hold anything but him—a version of this exact situation happened a week ago when you rolled over to hug your pillow.
Sighing, you try to reason with him. "I'm sorry, you just run so hot! Anytime I try to hold you, I end up sweating!"
At your excuse, Eddie promptly rolls over to face you—a tight, controlled motion that startles you.
"Oh, god forbid a man have a heartbeat! God forbid a man's mitochondria dare control cellular metabolism and produce a little heat!"
Rolling your eyes, you find an accusing finger hovering right in front of your face the second your attention is back on him.
"You know, if we were still in caves, that would make me the cock of the walk! Every ooga-boogette for miles would fight to be with me! I'd bring fire and body heat to the dwelling, everyone would want me!"
"Fine, go heat another dwelling! This ooga-boogette has to work tomorrow and if you don’t let me get my beauty sleep, I will find a slab of wood and bonk you over the head with it!"
Wholly offended that you're using his hyperbolic metaphor against him, Eddie pouts, nearly retreating into himself after being yelled at. Avoiding your eyes, he mumbles through his heavy bottom lip, "Don't wanna heat another dwelling. Wan' this dwelling."
"Okay," you settle, exasperated—like a mother humoring her child’s tantrum just to move things along. "Then go to sleep."
"Wan' a kiss."
You can barely make out what he said—his sulking mumble has dropped another octave. "What was that?" you prompt, locking eyes with him, waiting for a response.
"Wan' a kiss," he repeats—still pouting, still mumbling, but louder and more frustrated this time.
"Fine," you sigh, leaning forward to give him a quick peck.
"Wan' a better one..."
"Eddie."
"Wan' a better one!"
"Jesus Christ..." You roll your eyes, lifting your hand to his warm cheek and dragging him in for a prolonged, breath-stealing kiss. When you pull away, you wait for his hazy eyes to open, meeting him with an expectant look. "Better?"
A smug smile spreads across his wet lips as he hums approvingly, "Mhm."
The one-eighty in his disposition makes you shake your head disapprovingly—Eddie is such a piece of work.
Masterlist
ushijima wakatoshi is not a man of many words, and when he does talk, he comes across as pretty blunt. but it’s not with ill intent; he means well, he’s just so brutally honest sometimes, which is why you immediately shut down when you hear the words “i don’t like you,” escape his lips.
your classes had just ended, and it’s a friday afternoon when you finally work up the courage to confess to the man who stands before you. the cherry blossoms around you dance in the air, painting a romantic, picture perfect scene between the two of you. your arms are outstretched as you present to him your favorite brand of chocolates.
“i…” you look down in disappointment, avoiding his gaze as much as you could, as if it’d miraculously hide you from him.
“i don’t understand you one bit,” he says, his monotone voice unwavering.
you’re thankful you didn’t bring any of your friends along. this was humiliation at its finest. on the bright side though, it’s a friday and you don’t have any classes after. so you’re free to cry your eyes out and curl up in bed as much as you want.
but these thoughts of yours do little to distract you from the moment, and your eyes can’t help but water a little as you look down and take a shivery breath.
“i asked tendou about you.”
that catches your attention, and suddenly you’re taking a deep breath as you look up in shock. he asked tendou?! now that’s going to spread throughout the entire school!
the tears resting on your eyes reflect the golden sun above. your brows furrow in confusion, and if it stuns wakatoshi, he sure as hell doesn’t show it. “why are you tearing up? you did not even let me finish before crying.”
“what else is there to say, ushijima?” the use of his last name sends a small shock through his veins, and yet ushijima still remains unmoved. “you don’t like m—”
you’re quickly interrupted when he speaks, saying “there it is again.”
and you scoff, because he’s not listening. but maybe you should, so you look behind to see just what he was referring to, but nothing’s there.
“what are you—”
“i feel strange whenever i’m around you.” he interrupts again, before clearing his throat and quickly apologizing. “i’m sorry, i did not mean… you can continue.”
“wait, no, what?” you scoff again in disbelief, brows furrowing as your eyes fidget around, searching for something that can help you understand just what the hell ushijima was talking about.
“when you looked up at me with teary eyes, i felt a pang in my chest,” he says, before continuing like he was explaining his symptoms to the doctor, “and when you referred to me as my last name.”
and finally, ushijima’s unwavering confidence almost looks like it falters as he looks away, breathing an exhale. he speaks again, tone finally somehow… softening. “i feel a different pang though when you visit my practice matches and cheer me on…”
no way. you made the ushijima wakatoshi shy? japan’s number one best ace?
he must be rambling, he thinks, but regardless, if wakatoshi hurt you, he wants to apologize and make up for it. starting by explaining. so, he dismisses his thoughts and continues.
“but, more specifically, i asked tendou why i felt irritated when i saw you tutoring that boy in your class,” he finally looks at you now, confidence returning as he tilts his head slightly to the left, “i have a crush on you too, it seems.”
you’re at a loss for words. because, didn’t he just say, moments prior, that he doesn’t like you?!
“i do not, however, like sweets.”
and you let out a chuckle as you bring your hands up to your chest. maybe it hasn’t fully sinked in, because you still can’t talk.
“i do not understand you because you make me feel all these emotions. and i don’t like what i don’t understand, but…”
ushijima brings his hands to yours, taking the chocolate as he opens it. he takes a bite, and there’s a faint hint of pink in his cheeks.
“there are a few exceptions in life.”
and then you see it. the man before you isn’t ushijima wakatoshi, japan’s top one best ace. it’s wakatoshi, your wakatoshi, whose biggest enemy is the concept of emotions.
synopsis: eddie’s insecurities always make him question whether or not he really deserves you, but he knows he can count on you to continuously prove him wrong.
warnings: mentions of insecurities in terms of looks & relationship dynamics, few swear words, fem!reader in mind, reader has a mom, dad & little sister, established relationship, lil heated moments
note: inspired by role model’s song “scumbag” (if you haven’t listened to his latest album “kansas anymore” go do it!!!)
“i’m a train wreck, i’m a cigarette. i’m the side that no one’s rooting for. but you stand by me.”
“eds? did you hear me?”.
quickly blinking his eyes, eddie took in his surroundings & came back to reality. pressing a faint kiss to your hair, he nodded his head.
you both were having a movie night at his trailer with blankets & popcorn on his couch. you both weren’t super picky, so the random cable channel playing horror movies did the trick.
“sorry—zoned out. what were you saying, baby?” he tried to recover from his mere moment of weakness, his arm tightening around your shoulders to pull you closer to his chest.
“i was just wondering…” you teetered, “would you wanna come over tomorrow?” you nerves were taking over now that his attention was fully on you.
“it’s my little sister’s birthday & my parents are doing a barbecue to celebrate—it’s okay if you don’t wanna come, i get it,” you started to ramble, fiddling with the material of eddie’s shirt you wore.
“i just thought it’d be nice for you to meet my family, y’know? b-but you can totally say no—it’s not a big deal” you assured him, but you secretly hoped he’d say yes.
when eddie didn’t answer immediately, you lifted your head from his chest to get a better view of his face, seeing a look of uncertainty on his features. it made you worry if asking this was too much.
“you want me to your family? a-are you sure?”
nodding your head quick, your hand rose up to rest on his cheek, thumb smoothing over his skin. “i’m sure,” you smiled once you saw eddie’s face soften, his doe eyes twinkling under the living room lamps.
“you’re my favourite person, eddie. plus, my mom has been dying to meet you since our first date” your cheeks felt warm at that little omission, & you could see a pink hue bloom on eddie’s.
pressing a kiss to the palm of your hand, eddie pushed aside his insecurities for a moment. “okay,” he exhaled, “i’d love to come over”.
pushing yourself up on the couch cushions to thank him with a kiss, eddie’s hands tightened on your waist, sighing into your mouth the longer your lips were locked to his.
“by the way,” he pecked the corner of your mouth. “you’re my favourite too”.
**~*~*~~*~**~*~~*~*~**~**~*~~*~*
tomorrow had come & eddie was freaking the hell out.
his room had become a larger mess than it usually was, turning into a something that looked like a hurricane with all the clothes thrown everywhere & on everything. all morning, he had tried finding the perfect outfit to wear that would be acceptable in the eyes of your parents, but nothing seemed to work.
so for the last ten minutes, he sat against the edge of his bed with his fingers tangled in his lion’s mane, eyes pinched & breath heavy in frustration.
at least, that was until his landline phone began to ring.
“hello?” he spoke into the mic, voice dropping with defeat.
“eds? what’s wrong?” your voice was concerned, only causing eddie’s breath to hitch.
“nothing baby, it’s all good”.
you scoffed. “sure don’t sound like it”.
rolling his eyes playfully, he fully laid out on his bed, back growing uncomfortable from all the clothes sprawled across it.
“are you gonna tell me what’s wrong or continue to mope about it?” you chided, only making him sigh.
“i have nothing good to wear”. the statement made him seem pathetic in his eyes.
tilting your head (you knew he could tell your movements), you couldn’t help but have a small smirk on your face while you twisted the phone cord between your fingers.
“now i don’t believe that, baby” now you heard him scoff.
“your parents are gonna think i’m a freak—everybody does. i-i can’t help it”. he spoke softer now, insecurities flowing out of him & overtaking his being because he didn’t want to be made a fool out of.
he wouldn’t be able to survive knowing your family doesn’t approve of him.
& your heart drops at the mere thought of it.
“eddie,” you spoke, trying to reel him back in from the negative parts of his mind. “no one is going to think you’re a freak—you’re so much more than that stupid label”.
he continued to stare up at the client as you spoke, his chest growing heavy with anxiety.
“they’re going to love you because you’re kind, have good humour, extremely helpful, caring, handsome,” you could hear him let out a huff at the last word.
“… & because i love you”.
you both haven’t said those three words yet since you started dating a few months ago. so, now was the first time.
“y-you what?”
fear overtook you now, your heartbeat loud in your ears. did i say it too early you thought to yourself.
“i-i love you, eddie. i hope that’s okay” oh shit.
eddie almost dropped the phone from his hand, still somehow in shock that someone like you loved someone like him. he’s been known as trailer trash, a freak, a thrown out cigarette, a scumbag, a stain on the so called beauty of hawkins—he’s been torn down for too long.
but by the grace of god (or some other being or universe or whatever), you saw past all the tarnished scuffs on him.
it’s something he still can’t fully understand.
“eddie, i-i’m sorry if i just fucked everything—“
“i love you too. sorry it took me so long to say it”
his words took you by surprise, & you couldn’t help but laugh happily into the receiver.
“you don’t have to be sorry, you just have to come over & kiss me to seal the deal” you bit your lip at your coyness, hoping it’d be enough for him to pull through.
“i’ll see you in thirty, sweetheart” eddie said before ending the call, leaving you with a fluttering feeling in your chest. your head bumped into your pillow in a lovestruck haze, cheeks hurting from how hard were smiling.
you were so in love with that man.
**~~*~*~**~***~*~~**~*~**~*~*
you waited at the front door while the party festivities took place in the backyard, hearing your mom yell that the food was almost ready from the back door. you tapped your sandal clad foot eagerly, anxious for when the doorbell would finally ring.
& it hit you like bricks when it chimed in your ears.
your hand (which was slightly clammy from nerves) held the doorknob, twisting it slowly until the door was open & your lovely boy was in view.
he dressed in casual attire consisting of a dark red t-shirt, dark blue jeans, & a new pair of sneakers he got with steve the other day. he still wore his rings & guitar pick necklace, dawning those pearly whites of his with a grin when he saw you.
his hands were full, holding onto things with a claw like grip. in one, he held three small bouquets of flowers from the supermarket & his van keys. the other held a purple gift bag stuffed with white glittery tissue paper, the specks of glitter shining brightly in the mid afternoon sunlight.
“hey, baby” he said with a pep in his step, eying you up & down. you could tell he was still nervous, but he was trying his best to keep cool.
without missing a beat, your hands flew up to his face & you kissed him hard, taking him by surprise on your front door step. but who could blame you for doing such a thing after you both confessed your love over the phone?
“you’re gonna,” *kiss* “make me” *kiss* “drop everything”, he huffed, laughing into your lips when you refused to pull away initially.
“sorry,” you heaved. “just love you so much is all” you grinned harder at eddie’s flushed face.
“lemme put everything down & give you a proper one, yeah?”
you agreed, helping him inside your home for the first time, giving him a quick tour of the main floor as you headed to the kitchen to put the flowers in some water.
“my mom is a gonna get all sappy knowing you got us all flowers—thank you by the way” you pecked his cheek with a pop as you placed the flowers into three different vases.
placing the gift bag on the counter, eddie just shrugged nonchalantly. “well, it’s just what a gentleman does” he said, smirking when you smiled at him.
“yeah,” you made your way over to him, hands playing with the hair at the nape of his neck, chest pressing into his as his cold ring clad hands held your waist, squeezing it every few seconds.
“you really are the best” you leaned closer to him, lips just about to brush his.
“hmm, is that right?” his breath fanned your face, smelling like spearmint gum.
you could only nod, unable to resist the space anymore until he made the final dip forward, capturing your lips in his for a proper kiss where he could hold you close. it was slow, saying all the things you both wanted to say, while being sweet & soft & rewarding all at the same time.
“i love you” he breathed into your mouth, his thumbs fiddling with the smocked material on the lower back of your dress, being careful not to let them drift too low in case someone in your family caught him—& god forbid it’d be your father.
“i love you too” you murmured, pulling apart to laugh & smile & take all of him in like this.
you took a mental screenshot of him, safely storing it away in your brain’s memory box for later.
“so,” you patted his chest. “ready to meet everyone?” you asked, wiping away some of your lipgloss from his bottom lip while he sweetly tucked some of your hair behind your ear, fingers brushing over your earrings with a smile (because you’re wearing the ones he bought you).
eddie thought you tasted just as sweet as you looked.
“yeah,” he interlocked your fingers with his own, squeezing three times “now i am”.
“i’m a scumbag, i’m a scumbag (but you stand by me)”.
EDDIE MUNSON’S ♡ LOVE GUIDE ♡
contents: this is a little guide/headcannon on what it’s like for our beloved eddie munson to have a crush or date someone. this is somewhat similar to the a-z sfw/nsfw lists i did a little while ago but a little more detailed and strung together. word count - 782
notes: this was so fun to make i wish eddie was my bf :( enjoy!
other works (that are similar): three songs | a-z sfw list
⟡ what it's like for eddie to have a crush ⟡
eddie is the type of guy to be boldly flirty with someone that he’s interested, having no fear to compliment you or make suggestive comments. however, when you approach him or make flirty comments to him, eddie shuts down not knowing how to respond/function.
eddie believes in chivalry still, so he wants to make the first move but he never knows how. he’ll overthink to his friends, day after day, trying to navigate how to ask you out without being weird. his friends get annoyed with him, often rolling their eyes as he talks about you for the thousandth time that day. they wish either of you would just make a move so they can stop hearing your name being mentioned by eddie.
eddie also hates when he has a crush because he can physically feel himself become obsessed, taking any opportunity to spot you across the hallways in school or stare at the back of your head or profile of your face while he sits in class. he feels himself go from being the nerd, or the freak as people refer to him, to being a lovesick puppy, ready to serve you at any moment. he also becomes flirty and nervous, blushing like crazy as you make eye contact with him or flirt. god, he has such a love hate relationship with having a crush. can’t you just be his already?
when eddie asks you out, finally, he’s flustered and jumbles his words as he speaks quickly. “would you want to go out with me sometime? like on a date?” he asks, his eyes searching yours for a reaction. his stomach is knots, full of angst, as he exposes his deep admiration for you. when you smile, nodding eagerly, he feels instant relief and his mind is quick to beginning planning how he’ll create the best date you could ever go on.
⟡ what it's like for eddie to date someone ⟡
when eddie dates someone, he is the most sweetest bf in the entire world. he’s so concerned with gf, making it obvious that he cares for you deeply. he’ll always ask if you’ve eaten or if you’re hungry. he’ll let you play your “girly pop” music as he refers to the music you listen to, even though he can’t stand it because he loves you so much.
eddie loves giving you affection; in public, he’ll hold your hand or put his arm around you, make even a little kiss on the cheek. he isn’t the biggest fan of public affection but he also likes to make it known that you’re his. in private, however, he’s awfully romantic and cheeky. he loves to make out with you, letting time pass by as you engage with each other’s mouths, his hands roaming around your body.
eddie feels so safe with you as his girlfriend, knowing he can be vulnerable and nerdy in front of you. he know’s you’ll listen to him nerd out about his d&d trials and updates on how the hellfire is dealing with the watch of vecna.
eddie also nicknames you early on in your relationship, wiping your name from his mouth. you’re “baby” or “princess” to eddie, the affectionate names rolling off his tongue with ease. occasionally, eddie says “my sweet girl,” loving how your face relaxes and a smile appears when he calls you that. he knows it’s your favorite nickname but he saves it for rainy days when you’re feeling extra low and need a pick up.
our precious eddie also likes to include you in things he likes. eddie is quick to introduce you to his hellfire club friends, making sure you are well aquatinted with them and know they’re now your friends too. eddie also introduces you to the members in his band; making it clear that he requests your presence, every week, when they perform at the hideaway. you always go, of course. the biggest deal of all, though, is that he lets you mess around on his most prized possession - his guitar.
to be the best bf possible, eddie is sure to spoil you relentlessly. he brings you things that reminds him of you, or make you little birdhouses while he’s in wood shop class. he’ll make mixtapes of songs he hears and thinks you’ll like or bring you to your favorite restaurant after school. eddie will even risk his life, aka climbing up the short trellis that’s against your house up to your window, to visit you when your parents won’t let you go out. eddie will do anything and everything - you’re his princess after all.
Weapon u3u.
older eddie wakes you up (fluff)
You’re in and out of sleep, when you feel the soft press of Eddie’s plump lips against your skin as the rasp of his low, smooth morning voice hums through your ears.
“Mornin’ baby. Gotta wake up.”
You press your face into your pillow, letting out a small whine when you realize you’d have to be leaving the warmth of his arms and the toasty bed.
“‘M sleepy,” you protest.
“Mhm,” he responds, laying another kiss on your jaw.
He moves to delicately place his palm underneath your cheek, guiding it back up from hiding to cradle half of your face. He lets out a small chuckle when your lips are squished and puckered from his little embrace, unable to resist the urge to peck them.
“I know you are, sweet girl. But we gotta get goin’. Got a long drive ahead.”
“Mmm. So cozy,” is all you answer, wiping at your eye.
The bed dips, and you feel the scruffy stubble of your man as he ignores your words and continues to press soft kisses to your cheek, slowly moving from your jaw to your ear.
You do nothing but lay there and smile as he loves on you, hoping he forgets you both need to leave soon.
He drags his pillowy lips, letting them linger on your skin while tracing fingertips steadily through your scalp. You let out a small giggle when his stubble travels across your neck, prickling at you. “Tickles.”
“Yeah?”
“Mhm.”
“Mm - should get up, baby. Everything’s already in the car and ready to go. We can grab some coffee before heading out, stop for a little breakfast when we want to. That sound nice?”
“Mmm, I want hash browns…'n some waffles...eggs.”
You’re so endearing it’s not even funny, he thinks.
“Whatever you want, baby.”
A/n: by the time this is out my wisdom teeth will be gone but I heard it’s okay because they don’t actually hold wisdom :(
Warnings: short, minor injury? Sedation mention and it’s after affects, not proof read, rushed
Your body shakes as they turn on the IV drip. Your eyes search his for reassurance.
“I’m right here sweetheart.” His hand is big, and steady as it holds yours.
“Jay I’m in love with you so much.” You weep softly, words muffled by the gauze.
“Oh I know sweetheart.” His strong hands look so good working the wheel, driving you both home.
“Did you know you’re so beautiful?” Your voice quivers.
“Mhm. You’re beautiful too.” His voice is gruff, and soothing.
You gasp all too dramatically, “I am beautiful?”
“Mhm.”
“Oh wowwww…”
By the time you get home you’re half asleep. His big arms scoop you up with ease, you feel like you’re floating.
The massive bed cradles you. Jason makes sure your head stays elevated on the mountain of fluffy pillows.
You’re technically asleep but you feel him leave, and you’re weeping again.
Can’t control the waterworks.
“Oh…oh sweetness you okay? What happened?” He carefully thumbs the tears beneath your eyes away.
“W-where did you go?” Your voice feels as broken as it sounds.
“Just went to get you some things baby.” He holds up the special ice pack he bought you, gentle hands wrapping it in place around your swollen cheeks.
“S’the pink one? I love pink.”
“Yes I know.” He coos.
“I don’t deserve you.” You sob.
He rubs a hand on the back of your neck, “Oh yes you do,” he leans down to catch your gaze, “Sweetheart would you mind doing me a favor?”
You wouldn’t mind doing him all the favors, “Hm?”
“Let’s take a breath, get those waterworks to stop yeah? Being dehydrated doesn’t feel good.”
He’s right, it doesn’t. That doesn’t stop you though.
“Hey…sugar look at me please.” The anesthesia doesn’t change how willing you are to follow his gentle instructions. “There’s my sweet thing. No more tears okay? No more tears.” He whispers against your temple.
“If I can’t have tears what can I have?” You sniff.
“You can have some mashed potatoes yeah?” He seems to grab a steaming bowl of it out of nowhere.
“Oh…yeah that’s good.”
He chuckles. “I mixed ‘em with some broth.” He holds up the spoon to your lips, “Good?”
You carefully swallow. “Mhm…Jason my teeth feel big.”
“Yeah…” he’s careful not to comment on how swollen your cheeks look from the surgery.
“And they feel badly.”
“I know baby…I know. You were so brave today.” He runs his fingertips over your brow, keeping the urge to cup your cheeks at bay.
“It hurts…”
He nods thoughtfully, immediately pulled into action finding your aftercare instructions. He opens a couple pill bottles, offering each pill to your mouth in turn.
“Swallow f’me.”
And you do. And then you giggle.
“Oh I’d swallow for you alright.”
But he doesn’t laugh? He just…looks at you.
His green eyes hold the golden rays peaking through a heavy forest; his love is the first breeze of spring, and the last chill of winter.
“Your eyes are the green sunlight, and you’re fresh.” Gosh aren’t you a romantic. Some words might be missing there though.
He smiles. “You, my sweet love, are the bed that makes a home. Now hush…don’t want you hurting that pretty mouth.” He kisses your forehead.
But he wanted to say more than that. You are my reprieve.
He stays with you until you fall asleep.
Eddie Munson x Reader
Summary: Eddie Munson has never been careful. He loves big, loud, and without hesitation.
The ring wasn’t anything fancy.
No diamond, no fancy box.
Just a simple silver band, a little worn but still beautiful.
Eddie turned it over in his fingers, his leg bouncing slightly like he was nervous.
Because he was. Very.
“I know this isn’t how it’s supposed to go,” he said, his voice rough. “I didn’t plan a big thing, didn’t ask your dad or get some expensive ring.” He took a breath, looking at you like you were the only thing in the world.
Because to him, you were.
“But I swear, I’ve never been more sure about anything in my life.”
You sat next to him on the floor of his trailer, your backs against the couch, an open pizza box beside you.
The TV hummed in the background, but neither of you paid attention to it anymore.
“You’re serious?” you asked, staring at the ring.
Eddie let out a nervous laugh. “Dead serious.” He ran a hand through his hair, messing up his curls even more. “I know we’re young, and maybe it’s crazy, but I don’t care. I just know I want you. Forever.”
Your heart pounded in your chest so hard it almost hurt. So loud, you were sure he could hear it.
Forever.
Eddie had always been wild. You often found him throwing himself into things without fear, never holding back. And now, he was doing the same with you.
And you loved him so much for it.
Your throat felt tight, your hands shaking just a little.
Eddie swallowed hard, suddenly realising that it might have been too much for you. “Shit, you don’t have to say yes, I just-”
“Yes,” you whispered.
His eyes widened. “What?”
You reached for his hand, guiding him as he slid the ring onto your finger. It was a little big, but it didn’t matter.
“Ask me again,” you said.
Eddie’s forehead pressed against yours, his breath warm. “Marry me.”
You smiled and confidently spoke up once more. “Yes.”
And then he kissed you.
Not soft, not careful, after all, Eddie didn’t do anything halfway.
His hands tangled in your hair, pulling you close, kissing you like he was afraid you’d disappear.
Eddie loved with all of his being.
And you’d never wanted anything more.

Eddie leaned against the counter, arms crossed, watching you with a smirk.
“You’re gonna kill me, Sweetheart.”
You raised a brow. “Oh yeah?”
He pushed off the counter, closing the space between you. “Yeah. Every single day.”
Your back pressed against the counter as his hands rested on your hips.
“You’re silly,” you whispered, fingers running into his curls.
“And you’re beautiful, and funny. And way too good for a guy like me.”
You rolled your eyes. “Eddie-”
“I’m serious.” He cupped your face, his thumb brushing your cheek. “I don’t know how I got this lucky, but I’m never letting go.”
You smiled, tilting your head. “You’re really bad at shutting up, you know that?”
He grinned. “Then make me.”
So you kissed him.
Eddie loved loud. He loved you.
And you wouldn’t have it any other way.

17 : squeezing their hand when you know they’re stressed about something W/ Eddie Munson
~ / / / * \ \ \ ~
“Yes but what if I failed again, you know how much the old bat hates me?” Eddie sighed, pulling on his curls as he paced the small living space in the trailer.
“There’s no way you failed Eds, 86 baby, it’s your year. You’re gonna graduate!” you tried to comfort him.
“Yeah but how do you know?”
“Because I know how hard you’ve worked. With Wayne, with Dustin, with me. Eddie my god even the nurses that were taking care of you.”
“It’s here!” Wayne said as she pushed through the door, letter in hand. “I’m gonna throw up,” Eddie said, hands on his face.
“Come here,” you said, holding out your hand to him. He took it letting you pull him to the couch besides you.
“No matter what it says, I’m so fucking proud of you.”
“But what if-“ you cut him off.
“No what if Baby. I’m so proud of you,” pressing a soft kiss to his cheek you spoke to the older Munson man.
“How about Wayne opens it?” You suggested, squeezing Eddies hand in your own, rubbing soft circles with your thumb.
“Yeah, I can do that? What do you think Son?”He asked Eddie.
“Okay, yeah you do it. Don’t think I could if I tried.”
“Alright then,” Wayne put himself in his worn recliner. He used his thumb to open up the envelope that held all the causes of Eddies anxiety.
“Jesus,” the boy mumbled to himself, knee bouncing non stop. With the hand that wasn’t squeezing his own, you placed it on the knee. “It’s okay,” you said softly.
“Okay, so ‘Dear Mr Edward A. Munson, we are pleased to inform you that you are a member of our 1986 graduates.” Eddies hand squeezed yours in pure joy.
“We congratulate you for all your hard work this year, along with the years prior. We look forward to seeing you on August 2nd to graduate.”
“Holy shit!” Eddie shouted, jumping up from the couch. He wrapped his arms around Wayne hugging him tight. “So proud of you Son.”
“Thanks Old man.”
Wayne handed Eddie the letter, letting the boy scan over it as if it might disappear and have been a dream. “Holy shit.”
He looked up at you, shit eating grin on his face. Pulling you into his arms, he kissed you with passion, “Love you so fucking much,” he laughed.
“I love you too. So proud of you Eds.”
“This!” Wayne took the letter from Eddie. “Is going on the fridge.” The man moved a magnet, letting bills fall to the floor. Along with a familiar photo.
Two figures with dark and crazy curls were smiling. A small boy and a beautiful woman, the boy sat on his mother’s lap, teeth missing. “She’d be so proud of you,” Wayne said, rubbing his eyes.
Using the magnet to stick the photo to the letter, you could feel the warmth of Eddies mom. How proud she’d be of her son.
“Does this mean I’m gonna have to wear one of those stupid hats and gowns?” Eddie said, squeezing you, making you cackle.
