A/N: realised I hadn’t posted this to tumblr, and since it’s all out on AO3 already I’ve decided to drop all three parts on tumblr right away.
It was friday morning in march-85.
You were sat at the kitchen table eating breakfast with your brothers this particular morning, when the phone rang.
Hoping it to be who you thought It were you sprung out of your chair to answer.
“Why is she so eager to answer the phone nowadays? Will asked Jonathan who shook his head in response.
“No idea, but something is definitely up.”
“Hello sweetheart” you heard on the other side.
“I was just calling to ask if everything is arranged for tonight or if I need to kick Wayne and his poker buddies out of the trailer for the night” Eddie said, you could hear in his voice how excited he was.
“It’s arranged, Will is playing DnD at wheeler’s, Jonathan is studying at the library with Nancy and mom is working late so she won’t be home until at least 11.30.” You confirmed.
You and Eddie had carefully planned out the whole thing. The two of you had been trying to find a moment to yourselves, a moment to have sex and not worry constantly about being quiet or interrupted. (Or caught for that matter, Joyce didn’t know that you were sexually active or with Eddie for that matter)
so now when all the people living in your house were otherwise occupied, you jumped on it.
“Great, then I’ll se you at school gorgeous.” Eddie said, you could clearly visualise the smirk on his face.
“See you, babe, I love you” you said.
“Love you too.” Eddie replied then the line when silent.
When you turned around to return to your breakfast you were met by your big brother, who was leaning up against the wall giving you a pointed look.
“None of your concern” you replied, walking towards the table.
Jonathan was of course not ready to drop it there.
What do you have planned that mom doesn’t know about?” He asked. Sitting down across from you at the table again.
“It’s nothing Jonathan, nothing.” You said, trying to put an end to the conversation. You didn’t want Will to hear you argue.
“Okay well if it’s nothing, then why are you telling babe that you are home alone tonight? I thought you were gonna study with Stacy?” Jonathan said, calling your bluff.
“First and foremost, I am too, going to study with Stacy tonight. But stop eavesdropping on my phone calls! Is nothing fucking private in this house anymore?” You exclaimed as you rose from the table and put the bowl and spoon in the sink.
“Don’t swear infront of Will, and I’m not buying anything so tell me what you are up to.”
Will who still was stained since your parents divorce hated fights in general and tried to help.
“Hey Jonathan it’s okay, Dustin says shit all the time, I’m used too it?”
“There see, he’s used too it.” You said
“And besides, you aren’t my parent and you cannot tell me what to do!”
“I am still one and a half year older than you” he said.
“I’m riding my bike to school today” you said, refusing to have this conversation continuing on all the way to school.
You ruffled Will’s hair when you passed his chair and shot him a
“Have a good day kiddo” before you walked out the door.
The first time you saw Eddie that day was when he walked into the cafeteria as you were walking out. He grabbed your arm and spun you close to him.
At first you got a little frightened but when you realised that it was Eddie you smiled. He pressed his forehead against yours and you locked eyes with his soft, dreamy ones.
“Hello gorgeous” he said.
“Hello handsome” you replied and kissed him.
“I can’t wait for tonight” he said. ”the thought of what we are about to do later has been consuming my mind all day”
“What are these thought consuming ideas of yours ?” You asked.
His eyes grew impossibly wider with lust and he said,
“I don’t think those words are appropriate on school property” he said with a smirk, teasing you.
“Are you really one to talk about what’s appropriate, you know since you´re known for trampling all over the tables in the cafeteria when it suits you.”
His smirk grew even wider when you called him out on his bullshit and then he leaned in closer and whispered,
“Let’s just say; I want to ravish you” he said.
“Oh please do” you replied. Giving him a kiss.
“You want a preview?” He asked, and before you even thought it through you nodded and said;
Right where your collarbone meets your neck he gave you a hickey.
When he pulled away you heard him gasp a little.
“Holy shit, sorry sweetheart, I didn’t mean to make it so obvious.” He said and ran his fingers over it.
“Is it really big?” You asked, now slightly nervous about the questions that your brother would have for you.
“Bigger than I was going for” he said.
“It’s fine, I just gotta hide it from Jonathan” you said.
You gave Eddie a goodbye kiss for now and you parted ways, he went into the cafeteria and you and Stacy went towards to the bathroom to try and cover up the hickey.
On the way there you did a quick search of the surroundings, just to make sure Jonathan weren’t watching.
What you didn’t notice was the king of Hawkins high himself, that saw the whole thing play out.
And when Steve later met Nancy and Jonathan outside of science class things didn’t go as you planned.
“Hey guys, what’s up?” He said, smiling at the pair.
“Nothing much, just trying to get through this school year.” Nancy replied with a small sigh, gesturing towards the pile of paper she had in her arms. “How are you?”
“Same, just trying to survive until graduation. “ he said, and then he remembered what he witness earlier “Hey Byers, I saw your sister with that Munson kid before, when did they start dating?”
The question threw Jonathan a little... he wasn’t stupid, he knew that babe most likely were someone that you were in fact dating? But, that it was Eddie Munson made him feel uneasy.
“You aren’t fucking with me now, are you Harrington?” Jonathan asked.
“Wait you didn’t know?” Steve said, slightly surprised.
“Are you positive that it was Eddie Munson?” Nancy asked sensing the tension from Jonathan.
“I’m certain , that cult like t-shirt that he always wears, leather jacket, and jeans vest, cos apparently that’s something you can wear at the same time. “ Steve said, describing the eccentric kid they all had seen in the cafeteria countless of times before. “It was him.”
“And you are sure that it was my sister?” Jonathan then asked.
“Yes, I have seen your sister before, she wore this patterned blouse this morning right?” Steve said, starting to describe the blouse. “Light blue with geometric shapes on it in pastel colours?”
“Yeah” Jonathan said, remembering the blouse from breakfast.
“Then I’m sorry my friend, but it was her too.” Steve said, giving Jonathan a sympathetic look.
You had successfully avoided your big brother during the whole school day and was more than satisfied with that when you hopped on you bike again that afternoon.
Your mind was only focused on preparing for Eddie’s arrival later.
When you came home you dropped your bag by the door and took a deep breath, enjoying the silence.
You organised you room a bit, ie, shoving junk and old stuffed animals into the closet.
You straightened up your bed a bit, not that it still would look like that at the end of the night but still.
Right then and there you realised that you didn’t have any condoms…
Sure it was Eddies responsibility to bring some, but you didn’t want the night to be spoiled even if he forgot them.
You weren’t on any birth control, simply bc that required a signature from a parent, and taking that up with your mom was a no go at the moment. You thought about it for a moment, then an idea popped into your head. Jonathan might have some…
You walked into your brothers room and headed straight for his nightstand, but as you pulled out the draw you only found this old photography magazine. You cursed a little under your breath, couldn’t he just have some condoms you could steal without his knowledge?
You checked the pockets of some of his most worn clothes but only found nickels and gum wrappers.
His desk draw wasn’t any successful either.
”How can he not have any condoms?” you thought, and returned to the nightstand, you picked up the magazine to check underneath it. It was then you hit the jackpot, out from between the pages fell condoms, onto the floor.
”That sneaky little shit” you mumbled and picked up two condoms, putting them in your pant-pocket. As you bent down to pick up the rest you suddenly heard a very familiar voice.
”I knew that you were fucking lying” Jonathan said. You jerked at his words just dropping the remaining condoms and the magazine right back into his nightstand.
”He can’t even bring his own fucking condoms?”
”I have not clue what your on about?” You said, deciding that denial was the way to go with Jonathan. You began to walk out of the room but Jonathan grabbed your wrist making you stay.
”I´m not stupid if you think so, I know that its drug-dealer-cult-leader Eddie Munson who you are planning to sleep with.” Jonathan said, getting properly worked up about it all. ”And its obviously him that also already branded you like cattle.”
He pointed towards the hickey by your collarbone.
”You are such a fucking idiot, you don´t even know him! ” you spat, jerking your hand free from his grip. ”And its not like you haven’t done the exact same thing.”
”Don´t bring me into this” he responded. ”You are the one to make stupid mistakes”
Your blood was boiling and you wanted to slap your brother across the face.
”You are the stupid one, going around judging people on what other people say all the time.” You said, getting really defensive over Eddie. ”Weren’t we just the freaks,huh? When Will went missing? We were the zombie-boy-siblings for about a year Jonathan”
”That was totally different and you know it.” He said.
”How exactly is it different?” You said.
Jonathan stumbled over his words, not really sure of what to say.
”Its not worth explaining to you” he landed on.
”You are such a dick, do you know that “ you said, walking out of his room.
”I want my condoms back.” Jonathan then said.
”They are all in your nightstand.” You replied, walking towards the kitchen.
”I saw you putting some in your pocket, I’m not stupid, hand them over” he said.
”And what will the outcome be of that?” You asked him, ”do you think that you can stop me from having sex just because you take away the condoms?”
”You are really stupid, you really would have unprotected sex just cause the contraception just isn’t right the beside you?” He said.
” I´ve heard the pullout method is effective or what do you say picture-perfect-big-brother” you spat at him, knowing full well what he and Nancy did at Murray Baumans house about 3 months ago.
”What are you talking about now?” He said, playing innocent.
” Cut the bullshit, you know that I talk to Nancy right?” You responded.
“First and foremost that is none of your business, and it’s not what we are discussing here?” Jonathan said.
“I thought unprotected sex was exactly what we were discussing?” You shot back.
Before Jonathan could reply your fight got cut off by your mom coming home with a pounding migraine.
“Hey, hey,hey” she shouted and then held a hand to her head. “Who is having unprotected sex?”
You quickly pointed a finger towards Jonathan as he did the same towards you, just as when you were kids.
“Okay, you two sit down, and don’t speak a word until I’m back.” Joyce said and pointed towards the couch.
You and Jonathan started to bicker about calling each other out as you mom went towards the kitchen.
“I said not a word!” She snapped at you, as she grabbed a hairclip from the table, putting her hair up.
You and Jonathan shut up quickly after that.
Joyce had looked forward towards a quiet house with only you and Stacy home so she could rest, but now she had to give a improvised sex talk to her two teenagers.
“Let’s have them close in age Joyce, they’ll have so much FUN together” she muttered, imitating Lonnie, whilst she was rumaging around trying to find painkillers.
Of course there was some truth in what he had said, you and Jonathan could always depend on each other to look after one another, which sometimes was nice and sometimes ended up in situations like this.
It drove Joyce crazy, the way the two of you never could leave it, she was just happy that both of you took it out on each other and both considered Will to be your favourite sibling, since Will would take fights so much more to heart.
“So, one at the time please explain why the two of you are fighting?” She said as she sat down on the table opposite you.
“Well for starters, she’s lying to you” Jonathan blurted out pointing at you.
“Oh c’mon for fucks sake” you said.
“Mind your language a bit please, now is this true ?” Joyce said, searching your face with that concerned mom look that you hated.
“Jonathan is totally throwing me under the bus here and it’s so unfair” you replied, hoping to shift blame.
The problem with your brother was that he knew every curveball you had and had learned how to easily dodge them.
“You didn’t answer the question?” He taunted.
You gave him the finger when your mom looked away and then you said,
“I’m not lying more than Jonathan is?”
“Okay okay, quit bickering” Joyce said, shutting you both up. “I do not care who is lying and by the looks of it you both are, now what brought on this whole unprotected sex discussion?”
It was like a lightbulb went off over your head, and then you turned towards your brother.
“You want to tell her of should I?” You said putting your hand in your pocket.
Jonathan who had enough of your bullshit didn’t think before blurting out
“She stole my condoms to go have sex with the school drug dealer”
“Well Jonathan had unprotected sex with Nancy at a strangers house” you shot back, if he could play dirty then so could you.
“You are freaking unbelievable, how is that relevant at all?” Jonathan said.
Joyce was overwhelmed to say the least, these were sides of her children (and Nancy Wheeler for that matter) that she never expected to see.
“Okay I’m gonna need so much more information to make this make sense.” She gave you and Jonathan this maternal look that you had seen a thousand times before. It was best for the two of you to tell the truth.
“If I’m gonna say anything I want him to shut the fuck up whilst I talk” you started, glaring towards Jonathan.
Jonathan was about to protest when Joyce cut him off.
“Dial down on the cursing and the tone please” she first scolded. “But you do make a valid point, now Jonathan, let your sister talk”
Jonathan thought about protesting again but decided against it, since it probably wouldn’t help.
“I’ve met this guy…his name is Eddie, and despite popular belief” you said, shooting a glare towards Jonathan, “he is actually the sweetest man I've ever met. He is kind, considerate and I feel very safe with him.”
Jonathan who at this point didn't believe the sincerity in your voice rolled his eyes at your statement, but kept quiet.
“Okay…” Joyce said choosing her next words wisely. “He sounds lovely… but what worries me is the talk about drugs, has he ever offered you drugs?”
“He never has” you said triumphantly, looking at Jonathan before returning your eyes towards your mom.
“Has he ever dealt drugs with someone else in your presence?” Joyce asked.
You shook your head, cause sure people pulled him aside in school whilst you were in earshot but he always dealt the actual drugs in the woods by the school, and you weren’t there.
“Is he even like.. uhm high in front of you?” Joyce asked, searching your face for any indication of insincerity.
You pondered the question for a moment… It wasn’t like Eddie was high most of the time, it was more of a business than a hobby to put it that way. But sure it had happened once or twice that you surprised him at the trailer park, to find him with a joint in between his fingers.
“No, he isn’t” you responded.
“Then there isn’t much more I can ask from him, in that department” Joyce settled on.
Jonathan wasn’t satisfied with the fact that your mom was willing to drop the drug dealing after that conversation, he cleared his throat to say something, but was only met by a held up finger in front of him, telling him to keep quiet.
“Now honey, I assume that you are planning on sleeping with this Edward? It was Edward right?” Joyce asked, calling you by the nickname she had for you since you were a kid.
You blushed at the question, wasn’t it obvious?
“You can call him Eddie, everybody does” you first corrected. “But yeah…”
It was strange to admit it to your mom. It was even strange to say it out loud.
“Can I ask if you’ve ever done anything of that nature before?” She asked. Blood drained from your face, you didn’t want to admit any details in front of your mom and brother.
“No details necessary, just yes or no” your mom added and put a hand on your knee.
You thought about you and Eddie, about hickies, handjobs and fingerings, about Eddie’s hands on your tits and that time you came from grinding on his jean-clad thigh.
“ uhm, yes, but nothing too intimate so to say” you settled.
You mom nodded, then she turned towards your brother for the first time in a while.
“And am I right to assume by the conversation that I walked in on that you and Nancy are sexually active?” She asked.
You snickered silently,because finally it wasn’t only about you.
Jonathan pushed you slightly in the side with his elbow to shut you up.
“Yes, you are” Jonathan said, searching the wall in front of him trying to avoid looking his mother in the face as he answered the question.
“Okay, the two of you, let’s talk about protection” she stated going into this educating version of herself that you both hated.
“Mom, c’mon, we know already” Jonathan muttered, you saw him turning red in the face.
“Um no, we are discussing this” Joyce stated. Just as she was about to continue the door opened and in came the youngest Byers sibling.
“Hi Im just gonna grab my Dn… are both of you in trouble at the same time again?” Will asked, looking at both his older siblings. Who both looked flustered and ashamed.
“Why do you assume that they are in trouble?” Joyce asked. Taken a bit by suprised at Will´s question, was it really that obvious?
“ mom, your sitting on the coffetable, plus you have your hair up, you only put you hair up when you´re annoyed.” Will stated.
“Kid is good.” you said, smiling slightly at how observant your little brother was.
“They are in fact in trouble, but it's nothing that you need to worry about” Joyce said smiling at her youngest. “Go get your things. “
He ran off towards his room and your mom turned back towards you and Jonathan.
“Now where were we?” She said, “oh, yeah, Birth control is mandatory. It’s not up for discussion, I don’t want grandchildren yet and I promise you guys, non of you wants an STI”
“I think she’s talking to you” you said to Jonathan.
“At least I have condoms in my room” he muttered, “it`s more than your shitty boyfriend has.”
“Jonathan Byers!” Joyce said sternly, shutting your brother up.
“I just wanna add for the record that i didn´t borrow condoms from Jonathans stash because Eddie wasn´t planning on bringing any.” you said, defending both yourself and Eddie. “ I did it because I didnt want to be left without, incase he forgot, or it broke or something.”
“That was a very mature decision honey and I think it shows that you´re mature and responsible.” she said. ”although please ask your brother before going through his drawers and stealing things from him”
“Mkay, then” you said and rolled your eyes. You were nowhere near apologising to Jonathan.
“We can also look into contraceptive pills if that is something you might want” she said looking at you, hand on your knee.
“And if it ever comes up for discussion between you and Nancy, I want you to tell her that I will help in anyway I can, I’ll talk to Karen with her if she wants to.”
Jonathan simply nodded, and considered telling her about it.
“Now want to talk about consent” Joyce continued on, looking like she was mentally checking things off the “sex-talk-check-list”
“Once again mom we know, okay?” Jonathan groaned.
“Well good, that’s good” Joyce said. “Because like birth control it’s mandatory, I don’t want you to feel any pressure to do something that you don’t want to, no matter how big or small it is, and I don’t want you to pressure anyone into anything”
“I just wanna say if I ever find out that Munson has pressured you into doing some freaky shit then I swear to god I’ll beat him with my own hands” Jonathan said and your first instinct was to slap him, but since that would only land you in more trouble with your mom you decided against it.
“I can’t believe you” you said, “how can you even say that? It’s so unlike you to judge someone so hard with even knowing them”
Neither Joyce nor Jonathan had any chance to say anything because right after your outburst, there came a crash from your room and a very familiar,
“Speaking of the devil” Jonathan said with an eye roll.
“Shut the fuck up.” You said.
“Jonathan, that is quite enough” Joyce said, giving Jonathan a stern look. “Honey, go tell Eddie to wait in your room whilst we finish up here” Joyce said and you rose from the couch.
In the doorway to your room you saw your little brother staring wide-eyed at the long haired man who was busy putting all the cds he knocked down back.
“Hey babe” you said which made him look up.
“Oh I’m sorry sweetheart, I tried to be discreet and ended up being the total opposite.” He said smiling at you, then he turned his attention to the younger boy who stood next to you clutching his campaign to his chest.
“And this must the younger-brother-Byers?”
“Uhm yes, I’m.. Will” he said, turning a little shy. He then turned to you and you spotted that curious hint in his eye. “What’s hellfire club?” He whispered trying discreetly to motion towards the shirt Eddie was wearing.
“Ask him.” You said, knowing full well that Eddie would enjoy both answering the question and your brothers reaction.
“Will this is Eddie” you said, taking a step into the room, coaxing Will to join you. “He is the absolute nicest. And you can ask absolutely ask him what you asked me”
“What’s hellfire club?” Will asked, blushing slightly.
“It’s only the coolest club at Hawkins high” Eddie said, looking very proud. “We play DnD, and I’m the dungeon master”
You immediately noticed that spark light up inside of Will.
“You play DnD?” He asked, voice high pitched and excited.
“Live for it kid” Eddie replied. “I take it as you do too?”
“Yeah, I actually planned the campaign we are playing tonight” he said, looking at the things he was holding.
“Oh no way, can you show me?” Eddie said and took a seat on your bed. Not two seconds later Will was sat next to him.
“I just came him here to tell you that we are totally busted and mom asked me to tell you to stay in here whilst she finished up the most embarrassing mom-talk I’ve ever received.” You said to Eddie.
“Yeah, yeah go be embarrassed, I don’t have time for you right now” he said and shifted his focus back to Will who already started talking about the campaign.
You smiled as you returned to the living room, at least one of your brothers liked Eddie.
