Headcanon: Billy is unsure of how to help Chrissy when she arrives at his place late one night with tears in her eyes. She tries to explain in broken sobs that she got into a big fight with her mom. He isn’t sure of what to do, but something inside tells him to hold her. Letting her rest her head on his chest and cradle the back of her head as she weeps. He doesn’t want to let her go, offering her his bed and he’ll take the couch. She shakes her head and asks for him to stay with her. He rocks her gently, pecking the top of her forehead as she lets herself cry.
Headcanon: Billy painting Chrissy’s fingernails and batting his eyes slowly as he blows on them. He gives her a wink and pecks the back of her hand. She is trying to stay composed, but he can see the bright red blush on her face.
Chrissy is quiet after cheer practice. Aside from saying “Hello” to Billy, she hasn’t uttered another word since. He figures that she might be tired after a full day of classes and practice. His home is empty, which means there is peace for the next few hours. Billy asks if she wants anything to eat, but she shakes her head. He watches her slowly make her way to the couch before heading over to the kitchen to grab a drink. Something doesn’t feel right, he feels that he shouldn’t leave her alone despite only being one room away from her. His sonic hearing picks up the sound of sniffling, quickly making his way back to the living room. He kneels down, noticing the tear droplets upon her hands before looking at her.
Billy grabs the blanket draped across the top cushion and wraps her up. Then he sits beside Chrissy and holds her, gently easing them down so she’s laying on top of him. His hand sweetly caresses the back of her head. The rising and falling of his chest, plus the vibration of his beating heart, feels so soothing to Chrissy. Her tears continue to fall, tightly shutting her eyes as her body starts to tremble. He offers a kiss to her forehead, holding her smaller frame closer to him. Later on Chrissy begins to fall asleep, wrapping her arms around him so she can feel more of his warm skin. Billy sheds a few tears as well, pressing his cheek to the top of her head before closing his eyes too.

Chrissy didn’t know how it happened but she had been fighting back and forth with her mother for at least half an hour by now. She was curled up in a ball in the corner. Her knees were to her chest and her face was stained with tears that had continued falling. “Why are you so upset mom?! He is just a friend!”
Her mother scoffed, rolling her eyes. “Because I don’t like him! Not one bit! He is just some low life drug dealer that has no purpose!”
That just made Chrissy sob harder. She hated people saying that about Eddie. Eddie was one of her best friends. God, she even thought of him as a brother. Eddie was smart and caring and she knew he had a lot of potential. “He is not! He’s my best friend, mom stop it!” She was just getting louder by the second.
“Fine! I’m not dealing with your teenage bullshit right now, Chrissy! I don’t want to see him around anymore!” And with that her mother stormed off and slammed the door. Chrissy flinched and just started sobbing more.
After about fifteen minutes of sobbing she decided she wanted to see him. So she climbed out of her window as quietly as she could and got back down to the ground. She didn’t have a car, despite her family having the money. Her mom just didn’t want her going many places. But because she was a cheerleader she just walked everywhere because she had the strength.
It took her another twenty minutes to walk to Eddie’s trailer and she hadn’t brought a coat so she was shivering. Her face being stained with new tears also didn’t help since she had been sobbing the entire walk. Despite her freezing she just weakly knocked on the door to the trailer.
Eddie was on the couch just reading Lord of the Rings until he heard the quiet knocks and sobs. He quickly got up and ran to the door, opening it. He was shocked to see a shivering, sobbing Chrissy standing in front of him. “Chris? What happened?” She just shook her head in response, not wanting to talk about it. He understood so he scooped her up in his arms and brought her over to the couch, wrapping her up in his favorite blanket. “You’re freezing… Did you walk all the way here..?” She nodded with a sniffle as he wiped the tears from her cheeks.
“Oh Chrissy… come here.” He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to his chest to try and calm her down because she seemed really shaken up. She was usually quiet but not around him so he knew something pretty bad happened.
After a few minutes she had stopped sobbing so he loosened his grip on her. “Are you ready to talk now?” She shook her head again. She wasn’t in a talking mood and Eddie knew that feeling all too well so he got up and popped in Snow White so they could watch it together. This wasn’t the first time Chrissy had to be calmed down and she had mentioned she loved Snow White so he bought the tape. He bought it just for instances like this when she was too shaken up to talk and she needed comfort.
They got all cuddled up to each other again, Chrissy’s head resting on Eddie’s chest, just listening to his heartbeat. He just played with her hair a bit while she was distracted by the movie. About halfway into the movie he noticed her quiet yawns so he just smiled and kept doing what he was doing.
The crying had tired her out so she had fell asleep on top of him. He didn’t notice until he heard snores. He chuckled and gently picked her up, taking her to his bed so she could be more comfortable. He adjusted the blanket on her and pressed a kiss to her head before walking out and laying back on the couch.
Eddie was reading his book again, nearly finished when he heard the sound of quiet footsteps. He looked over to see Chrissy standing there. She was in his shirt, which she had changed into when she had woken up. Eddie didn’t mind of course. He knew she found comfort in it so he just let her wear it. It was huge on her though, since she’s pretty underweight.
“Eddie..?” She was quiet, mumbling a little as she looked down at the floor.
“Yes?” He stood up again, walking closer to her.
“I want cuddles… please.” Being held by Eddie was what calmed her, helped her sleep so he nodded. He wasn’t going to say no. He scooped her up again and brought her back to the bed, laying down next to her this time. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled the blanket over them. Neither of them cared about what Chrissy’s mom would say because they knew that next to each other was the safest place they could be.
