Don’t kill me now @jozstankovich
The whiskey isn’t helping, it hasn’t been helping for a very long time. Nor has the weed that Eddie got from his usual dealer.
Eddie Munson sits and stares ahead of himself as his eyes sting and he bounces his knee as he looks around. He’s in a smart suit that Uncle Wayne probably paid an arm and a leg for and he bites at his nail as his lip wobbles.
A trait he gained from his mother. A trait she helped him kick so long ago.
She’s been a part of every celebration that the Munsons have hosted. Holly is a permanent fixture in their home. So it was no surprise that Wayne agreed without a second thought to pay for and host her wedding to Steve Harrington
Eddie wants to find his face and smash it in until Steve is unrecognisable. His hands are shaking again and he frowns down at them before clenching them into fists. Win sighs as she sits down and leans her head on Eddie’s shoulder.
Eddie won’t say it but she’s the only one of Holly’s friends that he actually likes (apart from himself of course)
“Yeah. Just need a fuckin’ smoke”
His legs are twitchy. He puts it down to the fact he doesn’t have a vice in his hands, but Win can see the truth. He’s so very see-through after all.
“Tell Holly… fuck.” Eddie flummoxes over his words “Tell I wish her all the luck in the world”
Eddie doesn’t answer as he leaves the hotel, he grabs his keys before jogging down a staircase and opening his phone. He scrolls through his contacts until he finds Holly’s name and presses the green button.
When she answers, her voice is cheery “Hello sunshine..”
His breath hitches as he slumps against a wall and he once again bites at his nail. He cannot cry now. He will not cry now. “Hello sweetling. I’m.. I just wanted to wish you all the luck in the world”
Holly’s soft voice is killing him as he fights every instinct to blubber every little secret he wants her to know
“Nothin’ promise. I might have overdone it last night. Gonna go home and get my head down”
“Okay..” Holly’s disappointment hits him like a freight train “Get better soon bubs”
Bubs.. The nickname is mocking him. Well and truly mocking him and he sucks in a breath that he knows Holly definitely heard. “Will do, love you Holls”
