Listening to same music as him, maybe even knowing something about dnd or even playing it. you know maybe re-create the scene in the upside down where Eddie speaks with Steve about Ozzy Osborne and he doesn't know anything but to Eddie’s surprise reader knew about Ozzy and the bat thing.
I hope this is what you wanted and you enjoy it! Thank you for requesting 🫶🏻
Ozzy? Ozzy Osbourne?
Eddie tried to wrap his head around the whole upside down thing. He had a wild last few days, and the part that surprised him the most was Y/F/N being involved. Her wet pink sweater brightened up the darkness and Eddie was amazed how beautiful she looked after diving into a body of water. This wasn't the type of place a pretty cheerleader should have been.
"It's obvious that you're staring," Steve whispered as he walked along Eddie. Eddie's brown eyes diverted away from her perfect figure and looked at Steve.
"I wasn't," Eddie lied. He pretended to look around and cringed at how awful his surroundings were. "How does a preppy cheerleader get caught up in this?" Steve couldn't help but look at her too as they walked behind her.
"Friends with the wrong people. How come you're so interested? From what I've heard from Dustin, you hate the popular crowd," Steve questioned.
"I do. You guys are self-involved and assholes," Eddie said. Steve gave him a slight glare. "But Dustin tends to speak highly of you so maybe not everyone is bad." Eddie's eyes softened as he looked to Y/N. Steve couldn't help but chuckle as he drooled over Y/N. "So uh, are you friends with her?"
"No, but she's a friend of Nancy's." Steve shrugged. "You know you could just talk to her. You go to the same school."
Eddie scoffed. "And talk about what? I don't think Ms. Perfect and the Freak would have anything in common." Their conversation was interrupted as a swarm of bats began an attack.
~
The group walked silently as they recovered from the bats. Steve got the worst of it and everyone kept a close eye on him. Y/N walked behind him and Eddie, her head down as she watched where she walked. But at times would look up to steal glances at Eddie. Her and Eddie never crossed paths throughout school, but that didn't mean she didn't notice him, and being this close to him made her nervous. She was well aware he hated the popular crowd and didn't want to overstep, but he was so damn cute. Which, she knew focusing on a boy was not important right now, she just couldn't help it.
"That was a real Ozzy move you pulled back there."
Y/N silently listened to Eddie and Steve talked. Y/N smiled at the mention of Ozzy, because she thought the same thing.
"Ozzy?" Steve asked confused.
"You took a bite out of that bat," Eddie explained but Steve still looked confused. "Ozzy Osbourne? Black Sabbath?"
"I don't -"
"Wait, Harrington," Y/N spoke up. Both boys turned at the sound of her voice, Eddie was grateful for an excuse to look at her. Her pink sweater was ripped along the arms and stomach, Eddie tried not to make it obvious that he looked to see the parts of her skin. "You don't know Ozzy Osbourne?"
"You know Ozzy?" Eddie asked as he stopped walking. He was pleasantly surprised that she knew who he was and impressed. Maybe he judged too soon.
Y/N gulped underneath his stare, her body felt warm everywhere. "Obviously, who doesn't?" She scoffed. "Well, except you know who." Her eyes teasingly looked at Steve and Eddie laughed with her. She felt her heart burst at the sound of Eddie's deep chuckle. Steve rolled his eyes as the two laughed at him. He gave Eddie a look and a small smirk.
"Nothing in common, huh?" Steve whispered and Eddie was quick to look at him. He left Eddie with a sly wink and Y/N wished she could hear what he said but he walked away.
Y/N decided to gain as much confidence as she could and walk up to Eddie's side. She slowly began walking and hoped he'd walk alongside her, which he did. Even though the upside down had a weird smell, she could smell the husky scent of Eddie's cologne and the cigarette smell on his jacket.
"I'm sorry the whole town is after you," Y/N said gently. "I knew you weren't a bad guy."
Eddie softly smiled at her words, at least someone in the damn town didn't hate him. And he couldn't help but be happy that it was her. "Eh I'm used to being hunted," Eddie shrugged, "but thank you. I didn't think you'd listen to Ozzy."
Y/N turned her head to look at him and smiled. "I guess my pink clothes and cheerleading uniform doesn't scream heavy metal?" She joked.
Pretty, smart, and funny, Eddie thought. "It does not," Eddie agreed. "I think it's rad that you are into it though."
She silently screamed in her head, happy as ever that Eddie Munson thought she was rad. But she didn't want to get ahead of herself, he still hated people like her. "You were pretty rad back there with the bats too. Steve wasn't the only impressive one."
"I try my best, sweetheart." The nickname made her cheeks burn and she shyly looked at the ground for a second. He enjoyed how nervous she seemed to be around him. "I'm sorry your cute sweater got ruined."
She looked down at the damage and shrugged. "Eh. It wasn't my favorite one anyway. Wait you think it's cute?" Eddie's heart swelled at the happiness on her face. Just a day ago, she was just a pretty girl he sometimes thought about but never spoke to. But now, after tonight, he feared he wouldn't speak to her again.
"I think you make it cute."
"Hey lovebirds! Mind doing this later? We still have to get out of here...alive!" Steve hissed. Eddie and Y/N were so focused on each other that they didn't realize he walked over to them.
"Uh, yeah. Sorry!" Y/N squeaked and walked off to catch up with Nancy. Her heart pounded in her ears and she knew it wasn't because of the upside down.
"Hey just because you're single and miserable. Doesn't mean I need to be. I was working at something!" Eddie groaned. He frowned as Y/N was far ahead.
~~~
They made it out of the upside down a few days ago and Y/N was nervous to see Eddie at school. After their small conversation, she hasn't seen him, and she really wanted to. She hoped he'd want to see her too or at least acknowledge that they spent a night together in a scary universe of their town.
Eddie tried not to make it obvious he was looking for her as Dustin and Mike tried to talk to him. He scanned the hallways and got slightly frustrated when he didn't spot her.
"Are you like in love with her or something now? Because Steve told us you two were getting all cozy!" Dustin said as he hugged himself dramatically to mock Eddie.
"Shut it, Henderson," Eddie hissed, but that only caused Dustin to smile.
"She's cute, I approve," Dustin said.
"I don't need your approval for who I date," Eddie sighed, annoyed.
"Oh? Date?" Mike perked up and joined in. "Does Mr. Hate popularity have a crush on the pretty cheerleader?"
"I swear," Eddie said as he towered over them and glared, "I will beat the shi-"
"Hi, Eddie," Y/N said with a flirty wiggle of her fingers. She walked past him with confidence and composure, a huge difference to what she felt inside.
"H-hi," Eddie stuttered as watched her leave. She wore another cute pink sweater and a bow in her hair, something about how delicate she looked made Eddie's insides ache.
"Pathetic," Dustin and Mike said at the same time, Eddie snapped his head towards them and they ran upon seeing the deadly look on his face.
~
After she made her small move, Eddie was wrapped around her finger. He couldn't tear his eyes away from her at lunch, watching as she laughed with her friends. As lunch was dismissed, he quickly walked over to her.
"Hey Y/N!" He called to get her attention. She stopped and waited for him to catch up.
"Why is he talking to her?" Someone whispered and Eddie ignored it since she gave him the prettiest smile he had ever seen.
"Hi, Eddie," the smile was still on her face. He loved hearing her say his name and wished he could hear it on repeat.
"I wanted to ask you if you maybe would want to meet up sometime? We could hang at my place and listen to Ozzy," he hated how nervous his voice sounded.
"Sometime? Yeah," she reached into her backpack and grabbed a pen. "Whenever you want 'sometime' to happen, give me a call," she scribbled her number on his hand and he shivered as his skin touched hers. She left him with a wink...and a racing heart.
One of my favorite things ( I have many ) about your Eddie Munson smut is that you include his rings when he fingers his girlfriend or the female reader. I was wondering what if it's their first time hooking up and he goes to remove the rings and she asks him to keep them on?!
Oh why thank you. I hope this is what you wanted and you enjoy it! Thank you for requesting 🫶🏻
Keep the rings on
⚠️ smut
Y/N tried not to make it obvious that she stared at Eddie's long fingers every chance she got. One of the main attractions she felt towards Eddie was the way he decorated his fingers. It was like he dressed them up just so she would stare with drool down her chin. But most of the time Eddie was completely oblivious.
Eddie slightly strummed his guitar, unaware his girlfriend's eyes were eating him alive. She was meant to be doing homework, a textbook open on her lap but her eyes never read the book. She watched as his fingers worked on the guitar, a familiar burn rested in her stomach. Naturally, she would pleasure herself as she thought about his fingers, but she wasn't home. She was being tortured in his bedroom, on his bed, while they were all alone. She wanted him and she wanted him so badly, but they had never crossed that boundary yet. She hoped he was sexually attracted to her and wanted her in the same type of way.
"Hey, Eddie?" Her voice was drier than she thought and she hated how cracked it sounded. His brown eyes looked up at her and she tried not to moan as his fingers still strummed the guitar.
"Yeah?" He noticed how fidgety she was, and how flushed she looked. "You okay?" His worried tone made her heart melt. She slammed her book shut and tossed it to the floor. She crawled over to eliminate the small amount of space between them. She didn't want to scare him off so she gently placed her hand on his guitar and hinted that she wanted him to move it. He gently placed it against his bed, his eyes still on her. If there wasn't such a lustful look in her eyes, he would have been worried about her silence. Eddie knew the look in her eyes, the same hungry look he got from random chicks during his small gigs. The fact that the look was coming from her made Eddie's jeans tighten. The tension was thick as they stared at each other. She softly pressed her lips against his, trying not to seem as desperate as she felt. He kissed her back, feeling the same butterflies he always did. She tried to keep the kiss slow but when she felt his hands land on her hips, she couldn't hold back.
Eddie moaned as she crawled onto his lap and shoved her tongue into his mouth. He enjoyed how she tried to dominate the kiss but he easily made her puddy in his hands as his tongue swirled against hers. She purred in his lap, why was everything he did so fucking hot? She pulled away, panting lightly.
"Do you...um...maybe want to go a little further?" She asked. Eddie could barely speak. His blown out eyes looked at her lips and the way she puffed in and out air to catch her breath. "We don't have to!" She panicked, already regretting she asked. She wanted to run off his lap but his strong hands moved to her thighs and she halted. She shivered as the cold metal of his rings cooled down her burning skin, thankful she wore shorts so she could feel his touch.
"What are you wanting, sweetheart?" His voice was deep, low, and dominant. She knew he felt the way she clenched her thighs. He gripped the skin and pushed her right on top of his growing hard on. "I'll give you whatever you want."
"Your fingers," she confessed. Her heart raced as a sexy smirk appeared on his face.
"Didn't even hesitate," he teased. He leaned in and pressed soft kisses on her neck. She gripped his shoulders and quietly moaned. "You want me to finger your pretty pussy?" His words were hot against her neck and she lightly rocked her hips against his, excitement in her chest as he moaned. She rolled her hips slightly faster to make him moan, wanting to hear the sound again on repeat.
"Even your moans are the hottest thing ever," she whined. He left a mark on her neck, excited to see it the next day and chuckled at her comment. He purposely edged her on and let out a loud moan as her covered cunt rubbed perfectly against him. He held her hips in place once he felt her pace increase. She whined desperately, and tried to move against him.
"I'm going to cum in my pants if you don't stop," he warned. "My fingers will make you feel so much better than this." She nodded at his words and released herself from his lap. His dark eyes followed her as she moved to rest on her back. He quickly placed himself between her legs and his warm hands rubbed her thighs.
"Please no teasing...I'm too desperate." She grabbed his hands and placed them on the top of her shorts.
Eddie was intrigued by how horny his girlfriend seemed to be. This was their first time doing anything more than making out and he already loved every second. "Oh, sweet girl, you're lucky I'm nice," his hands slipped off her shorts and he admired her cute panties. "Because I really want to make you cry, beg, and whimper with pretty tears in your eyes."
She figured Eddie was dominant, but she didn't realize how mean of a dominant he was. She felt her stomach turn with excitement as she thought about it.
"But since you're so desperate and used your manners, I'll save it for next time." His lips kissed her clit over her underwear and she arched into the air. She could wait for the next time, but she couldn't wait for right now. She held her breath as he pulled down her panties. "Oh, my, you are stunning," he said and took in the sight of her wet pussy on display for him. He kept his eyes on her pussy as he began to take off the ring off his pointer finger.
"Wait!" She quickly said. Eddie panicked and froze. "Can...is it...would you," she licked her lips as she tried to spit it out. "Keep the rings?"
Eddie blinked as he looked at his rings and then to her. He looked at her confused, "Rings?"
"Those," she said and nodded her head to his fingers. "Keep them on while you..." she trailed off. Eddie smirked as it connected. He didn't answer her with words, instead he slid a finger in between her soaked folds. Her body jolted and she let out a high pitched moan. He fed off her reaction and slowly pushed his middle finger inside of her.
"Is this what you wanted, pretty girl?" He asked and pushed his finger all the way inside of her until his ring touched her pussy. She shivered as the cold metal added to the pleasure. "Would it feel better with two?" He slid in another finger, once again sliding in until his ring touched her.
"Yes, thank you," she whined and rocked her hips against his fingers. His other hand softly rubbed her hip.
"My fucking pleasure," Eddie chuckled, he was in heaven. He picked up his pace and moaned at the sound of her pussy sucking him in. His cock twitched in his jeans and he couldn't wait for the day he felt her wrap around his cock.
She choked on her moans as he continued. Every time she felt the cold touch of his rings she got louder. Eddie watched her in delight as her body reacted to him. Everything about her was perfect, her body, her sounds.
"Does it feel good? Need more?" He asked, she gripped his arm that was fingers deep inside of her and held him against her.
"So so good," she whined. "Please don't stop."
"I won't. I've got you," he leaned down and pressed his lips against hers, slightly distracting her as he added a third finger. "Such a good girl. Look so gorgeous wrapped around my fingers." His free hand moved down her hip and his thumb rubbed circles on her clit. If Y/N wasn't so horny, she would feel embarrassed by the fact they could hear how wet she sounded.
As Eddie's thumb rubbed her clit, the shiny skull ring caught his attention. The ring was big, clunky, and had indents based on the skull structure. He removed his thumb and brought it to his mouth. She watched through heavy eyes as he sucked his thumb clean, then his teeth latched on to his ring and he pulled it off.
"Fuck!" She jumped as he pressed the skull ring against her clit. His fingers curled up and she began to see stars. He rubbed the ring against her clit. "Eddieeeeee, I need to...mhhm."
"That's it, baby. Cum for me. Cum all over my rings, ruin them."
Y/N panted as she felt her orgasm creeping up. She clenched her eyes and dug her nails into his arm as she squirmed on his fingers. He felt his cock leaking as he watched her orgasm. Her eyes clenched shut, head thrown back and mouth open as she moaned his name over and over. Her wet pussy pulsed and he continued to fuck her through it with soft whispers and lips against her neck.
She released him arm and her body collapsed into his mattress. He slowly removed his hands, his eyes locked in on the way her cum decorated the top of his rings. He looked at her, her eyes immediately back on his cum painted rings. He reached between her thighs, eyes locked on her as he grabbed his thumb ring. She moaned as he placed it back on his thumb.
"Now, how do we clean these?" Eddie asked as he wiggled his fingers in front of her eyes. "Suck them clean?"
She wasn't sure if he was serious, but she knew she'd do it with no questions asked.
Hi!!! Can I request fic when shy reader has a big crush on Eddie and tries to talk to him at school?
He would be so surprised and excited when he realized what she means 💜
Thank you!!!
I hope this is what you wanted and you enjoy it! Thank you for requesting 🫶🏻
Hi
Y/N was too shy to be known by many people. She kept to herself, and had a few friends. She didn't like to talk to strangers, and she didn't like to be the center of attention. Which is why she was surprised to catch herself smiling at Eddie Munson.
Eddie Munson didn't have a shy bone in his body. He was unapologetically loud. He loved being the center of attention, even if it was not good attention. Y/N wasn't sure if it was because he was the opposite of her that her crush on him was massive. She really wanted to talk to him and get to know him, but she wasn't sure she was capable of it.
The first time she tried was awful. She smoothed out her clothes and walked over to his desk as the bell rang.
"Hi,"
Eddie looked up from his desk and smiled at the pretty girl in front of him. He didn't know much about her, just aware she was as quiet as a mouse and beautiful.
"Hi," he replied. His smile was warm and inviting, once her stomach fluttered she panicked and walked out of the classroom. Eddie looked at the empty spot in front of him, a little confused.
~
Then she tried again. He was trying to shove everything in his locker before it fell back out, slamming it shut with a victory smile.
"Hi, Eddie!"
Eddie smiled as she stood near him. He eyed her cute outfit and the shyness in her eyes. "Hi, Y/N!" The sound of her name coming from his lips made her cheeks flush. She opened her mouth to say more but his brown eyes made her nervous.
"Bye!" She squeaked and walked away. Eddie watched until she disappeared around the corner, the smile still on his face.
~
Did she try again? Yes, yes she did. It seemed every time she tried, she slowly made progress by adding more words. But once he replied, she was gone in a flash.
~
"Hi!"
"Hi!"
~
"Hi"
"Hi"
~
"Hi...uh hi"
"Hi times two"
~
Eddie wasn't quite sure what she was doing. He knew she was shy, and figured he made her nervous. He found it adorable that she was scurry away from him then came back the next day and tried again. He was curious as to why out of everyone, she wanted to talk to him. Then that led him to wonder if she had a crush. At first, he laughed it off, there was no way she had a crush on him. But he began to notice she looked at him....a lot. Which he very much enjoyed, he liked the way she looked away and hid away when he caught her.
He tried his best not to seem scary, he'd give her smiles and only gaze at her softly. He hoped it would make her comfortable enough to get out the words she wanted. He sometimes spoke first, but she didn't carry the conversation very far. If his suspicion was right, he was happy. He found her cute, and if she liked him, he'd be eager to see where things could go. He was curious to learn more about her and see what kind of person she was.
~~~
Y/N was unaware that Eddie was behind her when she closed her locker. She turned around and jumped.
"If we skip the hi part, can I ask you out before you run away?"
She was in shock, and believed she did not hear him right. Y/N barely could speak any words to Eddie, how did she make a good impression?
"I-uh," she stuttered
"Please, don't be nervous!" Eddie tried to calm her down and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. Unaware that his touch made her heart race and she felt like she swallowed her tongue. "I want to talk to you. I enjoy our small interactions." She calmed down at his smile. She tried to shake off her nerves and smiled back at him.
"I'm Y/N. I think you should know that before you ask anything," he laughed at her comment and she felt pride in her chest. He removed his hands and she tried not to miss it.
"Nice to formally meet you, I'm Eddie Munson. Are you free tonight? Maybe grab something to eat?' he shrugged and placed his hands in his pockets. He figured he'd make the move for her, but now he was worried maybe that wasn't what she wanted.
"I'd love to," Y/N smiled.
"You have a pen?" He asked, because he knew he didn't have shit in his empty backpack. She nodded and quickly dug into her bag and pulled out a black pen. "May I?" He grabbed the pen and nodded to her hand.
"Oh! Go ahead," she said and placed her hand in front of him. She tried to control herself as his skin touched hers. The pen tickled her skin as he wrote down his number.
"Call me when you get home and we'll plan the details," he said. She didn't miss that he placed the pen in his pocket.
"Okay, yeah," she excitedly nodded. He gave her a cheeky smile and a nod that made her internally scream. Once he disappeared, she looked at her hand and squealed. All digits scribbled in his handwriting on her hand.
Eddie smiled as he heard the squeal from around the corner. He let out the breath he had held and was impressed by how well he had faked that confidence. He walked to his van and cringed at the smell. He made a mental note to steal an air freshener from a gas station on the way home.
I was wondering if you could please do a hurt//comfort fic for Eddie where reader was his best friend went missing around the same time as will and Barbara and was assumed dead from the “chemical leak” too but when Eddie is in the upside down during season four he finds her weak but somehow still alive, hiding somewhere in the upside down version of his trailer so it’s like a reunion where it’s kinda angsty but very sweet by the end ? Thank you very much if ya do !! 💛💛
I hope this is what you wanted and you enjoy it! Thank you for requesting 🫶🏻

Not until she's home safe
Will Byers, Barbara Holland, and Y/F/N went missing weeks ago.
After the kids went missing, everyone freaked out until the authorities covered up suspicious events by claiming there was a chemical leak and suggesting the bodies were likely deceased. The missing posters were removed, and the town acted as if nothing had happened. Will Byers had a field of people searching for him for days, less and less people began to help as the days passed.
Eddie didn't accept the idea of his best friend, Y/N being dead at first. He searched day and night for her. He never made progress. It was as if she vanished completely. She left nothing behind, not a trace to be followed. He barely slept, and traveled in his van for weeks on end.
Will Byers was found alive and Eddie felt the hope in his bones. He didn't know the kid, and he didn't say anything to the cops about what happened. But he did admit he never saw Barbara or Y/N. The cops gave up quickly and figured one alive out of three was good enough. Eddie didn't plan on giving up, but Wayne begged him to stop once his health began declining. Wayne couldn't understand the pain Eddie was feeling, but he couldn't watch him work himself to death. He was barely home, he never slept and didn't bother to eat. Every thought was consumed by her and he didn't care what it did to him. Wayne was forced to put his foot down and made Eddie face the reality that she was never coming back.
Eddie ignored his body as it begged for sleep, staring down at a map of Hawkins. He sipped on his cold cup of coffee, he wasn't sure how many he's had.
Wayne sighed as he looked at the young boy. His eyes were tired, dark circles underneath. His hair was a mess from his hands running through it. His body was hunched over the table as he focused. Wayne had enough. He yanked the map from the table and Eddie was quick to stand up.
Eddie argued, "Stop, I'm looking at that!" He was quickly becoming annoyed from both his exhaustion and his lack of progress with the case.
"Eddie, enough! It's been months. I know it's hard, but she's gone." Wayne said, aware that his tone was harsh. But he wasn't getting anywhere with Eddie. "The Byers kid came back but he's the only one, son. I'm sorry."
"It's hard?" Eddie said, slightly raising his voice, "Yeah, no shit, Wayne! My best friend just disappeared, and no one gives a damn. Even you don't give a shit."
"Watch your mouth!" Wayne warned. "I care for Y/N and miss her every day. I give a shit, I just know she's gone and there's nothing that can be done. You'll never be able to move on from this if you don't accept that. The cops have searched. We have searched. You have been looking everywhere for months. If she was here, we would've found her."
"It's not fair," Eddie cracked as he cried for the first time over it. He fought so hard to believe she was alive but it was now settling in that she was gone. "She had so much to live for. She had school. She had dreams. She wanted a family and a big house with all those annoying dogs. SHE WANTED TO LIVE!" he cried in frustration. He flipped the table over and Wayne quickly pulled him into a hug. Eddie sobbed into his chest. "I've wanted to die so many times and I'm still here. She didn't deserve to leave like this. And she deserves to be remembered. This town doesn't care about her."
Wayne sniffled as he held the crying boy in his arms. "I know, bud. I know." Wayne knew there was nothing he could do to bring comfort to Eddie's broken heart. All he could hope for was that Eddie learned to live without her. "We'll remember her."
A year passed and Eddie tried to move on as Wayne asked, but that didn't mean she was forgotten. He still kept up with the news reports and newspapers just in case her name was ever mentioned. Eddie already struggled with being alone, Y/N and Wayne were the only two permanent people in his life. He knew Y/N, he knew wherever she was that she was alive and fighting. He felt hopeless that he couldn't find his way to her. Her parents gave her a funeral but Eddie didn't go. There was no body to be buried and there was no body to mourn. Eddie felt it in his heart that she was breathing. If his heart was beating, then so was hers.
Now to the present day, Eddie found himself tangled into a whole different universe. He found out what happened to Will Byers through his new friend, Dustin. He joined the gang and learned about the upside down. No one wanted to get Eddie's hopes up, but Dustin said there was a chance she ended up there. The second the words left Dustin's mouth, Eddie was already asking how to get there.
"Hey man, this place is a death trap. None of it will be easy," Steve warned.
"You've all been there and made it back, right?" Eddie asked as he crossed his arms.
"Well yeah, but-"
"Nothing you say will stop me from going after her. Show me how to get in and you can leave me for all I care," Eddie said. The gang all looked at each other and nodded.
~
Eddie used his bathroom mirror to tie his bandana on his head. He saw his memories play through his head,
"And boom! Now it has more use than being in the back of your pocket," Y/N smiled. Eddie stared at her through the mirror, his eyes never once glancing at his hair.
"Looks great," he said.
"You're always handsome," she said, "but it's nice to see your face not hidden by your hair."
"...could you show me how to do it again? This time I'll watch." He wasn't interested before but when he realized that she found it attractive, he was willing to wear it all the time.
Laughing, she followed his instructions. To ensure he could do it himself, he carefully watched how she styled his hair.
A twist of his stomach reminded Eddie that the memory was fading, bringing him back to reality. He tossed on his leather jacket and left the bathroom.
"You ready?" Dustin called from the front door as Eddie came into view.
"Yeah, just one second," Eddie said as he walked into his room. He walked to his bedside table and grabbed a small picture frame. He smiled softly at the picture of him and Y/N. Eddie stood behind her, arms wrapped around her waist and head on her shoulder, as they stood in front of the small Christmas tree they had decorated for the trailer. Eddie wasn't big on the holidays since his family could never afford anything, but Y/N changed his mind on it all. "I'm going to bring you home," he whispered to the picture. He traced her smiling face and softly pressed his lips against the glass. He put the frame in its rightful place and walked out.
~
Eddie turned his stomach at the sight of the wet, dirty, and deadly place, his heart twisting at the thought of her being trapped there alone. "Where do we start?"
"It's the same as regular Hawkins. Where would she go?"
Eddie got on his bike and left without a word. Everyone quickly followed him, trying their best to keep up. They made sure to take in their surroundings at all times, aware that anything can be lurking. Eddie peddled as fast as he could down the street. He was inches away from the driveway when he got knocked off. He groaned as he landed on the concrete. He looked around and saw an army of bats flying above him. Quickly, the gang intervened, using their weapons to repel the bats. Eddie yelled in pain as he felt one of the bats bite at his arm. Fueled by anger and frustration, he reached up and grabbed the bat with his bare hands.
"STEVE!" he screamed. Steve turned around with his bat as Eddie launched the bird at him. Steve quickly swung at it, hitting it to the concrete. Eddie groaned as he stood up. He marched over and grabbed the bat from Steve's hands. He yelled as he beat the bat to nothing. Tired of the obstacles he'd encountered since she'd left, he was done. Nothing was getting in his way.
He stopped when he felt an arm on his shoulder.
"It's okay, man. We'll get her," Steve said as he took the bat. Nodding, Eddie walked toward the house, stepping over the dead bats. He opened the front door and quickly ran to her room. Pushing it open, he saw her bedroom. His heart felt heavy, a room identical to hers, a room he hadn't seen in over a year. Eddie remembered why he was there and began to search around.
"Y/N? You here?" He called as he searched all around her bedroom. Everyone else filled up the other rooms and called her name. Eddie checked every spot ten times, the frustration building as he realized she wasn't there. "Baby, please. If you're here, it's me. I promise nothing is going to hurt you. Just please tell me you are here." He closed his eyes as he begged.
He waited
And waited
And waited
"FUCK!" He cried as he punched the floor. He ignored his tears as he stood up. He tried to calm down his breathing, wanting to keep his mind focused. There was still a whole town to look through he kept reminding himself. He sat on her bed and took a second. He looked at all the posters on her walls and the frames on her dresser. His eyes moved to her nightstand where he saw a small mirror. Eddie wiped his cheeks as he saw his reflection. He grabbed it, his eyes focused on the picture taped on it. A small cut out photo of him and her at their middle school graduation. Eddie chuckled as he looked at himself, his hat on the ground covered in dirt as he flipped off the camera. Y/N was smiling and happy, completely oblivious to how the picture was going to turn out. Eddie remembered how quickly Wayne had yanked his finger.
"Is that you guys?" Dustin asked. Eddie jumped and quickly flipped the mirror over. He tried to hide the fact he was crying. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to intrude."
Eddie shook his head, "no it's fine. Um yeah, middle school graduation. I remember she was so excited to go to high school and graduate...can't believe that was our only graduation together."
"Man, I'm so sorry," Dustin said. He knew Eddie wouldn't want it but he walked over and gave him a hug. Eddie stiffened as his face was shoved into Dustin's chest as he stood over him.
"Yeah, can you not hug me?"
Dustin respected the boundary and stepped back. "I fought to find Will. I wouldn't give up hope. He's now safe, and we'll find her too."
~
Eddie's hand shook as he opened his trailer door. He sighed in relief when there wasn't a monster on the other side. The gang followed behind him and quickly closed the door. They had searched the town for roughly over two hours and he still hasn't found her. He sighed and flopped on his couch. He closed his eyes and ignored the pain coming from his arm.
"Let's clean that up ," Dustin said as he pointed at Eddie's arm. His jacket was ripped and a trail of dried blood ran down his arm.
"It's fine," Eddie snapped. Dustin stepped back and gave him his space. The rest of the gang took a seat around him on the floor. They all sat in silence when suddenly there was a soft noise that came from his bedroom. Eddie sat up and looked down the dark hallway. "Did you guys hear that?"
"Yeah," Steve whispered. He gripped his bat and stood up. Everyone followed his movement. "I'll go check. Stay here."
Eddie was quite exhausted and already injured, so he honestly felt fine to let Steve take the lead. Eddie nodded and sat back on the couch. Robin went with Steve, just to be safe. They crept down the hallway and held their breath when they heard another noise. Steve slowly entered the room and tightened his grip on his bat. He looked around and didn't see anything. He frowned as he turned to Robin.
"There's nothing in here," he said confused. Robin went to walk in when there was another thud. Steve eyed the closed closet door and gulped. As he walked closer, he heard scratching. "Go get Eddie."
Robin nodded and quickly ran to get Eddie. When Eddie entered the room he saw Steve standing in front of his closet.
"I'm going to open the door, be ready to swing," Steve said as he handed Eddie the bat. Eddie gripped it and nodded that he was ready. Steve yanked open the door and Eddie prepared to step in front of him and swing but there wasn't a monster waiting for them. Eddie dropped the bat.
"Baby?" He whispered in shock. Y/N's body was hunched into a ball, face barely visible but he knew it was her.
He quickly dropped to his knees in front of her and reached out to touch her. "Shit! Shit!" He said when she was almost as cold as ice. "Get me a blanket!" Steve turned around and yanked every blanket off of Eddie's bed. "Hey it's me, it's Eddie. Can you hear me, sweetheart?" He asked as he gently patted her face. She looked dead. Her skin was discolored, she was covered in dried blood and her breathing was weak. "Can you open your eyes?"
She let out a low groan, and fought to open her eyes. She felt drained, exhausted and weak. She groaned again when she couldn't open them.
"Shh, it's okay. You are making sounds that's all I need." He said. He took the blankets from Steve and wrapped them around her. He picked her up and carried her out of the room.
"Holy shit!" Dustin said as Eddie came out holding a random girl. He could see the emotion all over Eddie's face, the girl was definitely Y/N. They all quickly left the trailer and raced to bring her back home.
~
Eddie refused to leave her side. She rested peacefully on his bed, back in regular Hawkins. He added another blanket on her as she shivered in her sleep. He tried his best to clean up her face without waking her up. She passed out shortly after they got out of the Upside down. Eddie thanked the gang for finding her and sent them back home. He climbed into his bed and wrapped his arms around her. She shifted, still asleep but felt his warmth against her and curled into his embrace.
He groaned as the morning came far too soon. He covered his eyes and rolled over as the sun shines through his window. His body hit another and he sat up. The events of yesterday played through his mind as he watched Y/N sleep peacefully. He continued to let her sleep and walked to the kitchen to prepare her some food and water. He could tell when he picked her up that she felt like bones. Her body showed how much she suffered. Not enough food, water or sleep. He hated to think of how much running and hiding she had to do in that place. Now that he has experienced the upside down, he didn't know how she survived all of it.
He checked his watch and sighed, Wayne wouldn't be home for a few more hours. He cracked some eggs and tried his best to scramble it, he barely cooked and it was easy to tell. After he plated the eggs and grabbed a glass of water, he walked back into his bedroom. He panicked when the bed was empty. He placed the plate and glass on his dresser.
"Y/N?" He called out. The room was silent. He looked out of his room to see if she went into the bathroom but the door was wide open and lights were off. "Y/N?" He asked again. He heard slight movement from the closet and he opened the door. He felt the déjà vu as he looked at her hunched over in the corner. He kneeled down and softly touched her leg. She snapped her head up in fear. He could see her brain trying to catch up as she looked around. "This isn't the upside down. I'm real and this is my real trailer." He tried to explain. "It's safe, come on out and I'll explain everything," he held out his hand and she took it. Her legs shook as she tried to stand and Eddie was quick to help her to the bed. Once he sat her down, she reached out to feel his body. She figured his body would vanish, that she was finally going to die and he was her final memory.
But her hand met his stomach, and she could feel his body. Eddie laced her hand with his and dropped to his knees. He stood tall so he could be eye level with her. She used her free hand to touch his face, and he couldn't help but melt into it.
"You're real?" She asked. Her voice began to shake as her eyes watered.
"I'm real," he said, releasing her hand and gently cupping her face. She instinctively reached up to hold his arms, sighing when his forehead touched hers. "I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere anymore." His voice cracked a little as she began to cry, tears blurring her vision. Pulling her into a tight embrace, he buried his face in her dirty hair as her tears soaked his thin sleepshirt. "I looked for you every day. I knew you were out there."
"I tried to escape. I just couldn't figure out how," she cried. He rubbed her back and cradled her head. She began to slowly feel at ease as she inhaled his natural scent.
"You stayed alive, that was the only thing you had to do. I will always save you." He promised. It felt like a promise he could keep because he wasn't letting her out of his sight. "I've missed you so much." She squeezed her arms around him as a response. She feared he'd slip away if she didn't lock herself to him.
"Learned from the best," she softly smiled. "You kept me going. I knew you'd find me." And it was the truth. Every second she spent in that place, she knew Eddie would find her. All she had to do was fight until then.
"How about some food and a shower?"
~
She finished her shower, and brushed her teeth, then found Eddie in his room. She wore some clothes he grabbed for her. She loved wearing his clothes because no matter how many times Wayne washed them, it still smelled like his cologne. Before she could say anything he walked over to her.
"I'm going to say and do something, even if you ignore it afterwards. I just have to because I can't lose another chance to," he stated. She could sense his anxiousness and wanted to help but he already wrapped an arm around her waist. She gasped as her body was pressed against his. She watched him with wide eyes as he closed his eyes and leaned in. She held her breath as she waited for his lips to touch hers. He pressed a soft and very light kiss to her lips, careful not to hurt her. He pulled away before she could react. "I love you. I never wanted to say anything because I knew I couldn't bear the thought of losing you so I never said anything. After you went missing and they tried to make me believe you were dead, I regretted never telling you. I know this is bad timing and you literally just got back but I couldn't hold it in."
She waited for him to open his eyes to say something. She could see the fear in his brown eyes when they fluttered open. She smiled and stepped closer to him. He felt less anxious at the warm smile and when she kept his arm wrapped around her.
"Do you remember Izzy in middle school?"
Eddie was confused by the question, but he did say she could ignore what he said. He slightly deflated but nodded. "Yeah, you broke her nose." Eddie laughed at the memory.
"I told you I punched her because she made fun of you," Eddie nodded as she continued. "She told me she had a crush on you and was going to ask you to her pool party. I got jealous and punched her."
"You what?" Eddie asked as he slightly laughed.
"I don't regret it," she said, "because she never asked you out. Eddie, I've been in love with you since I understood what it meant. Every time I thought I was going to die, I thought about you. I didn't care to see my family or my friends again. I prayed I'd see you before I left. When you found me, I thought my prayer was answered."
"I'm sorry I couldn't find you earlier," he whispered as he felt himself getting choked up again. "Fuck, tired of crying." He hissed. She softly laughed and nodded.
"Yeah me too," she sniffled. "Can I do something now?" She asked. Eddie nodded and she didn't waste a second to kiss him again. He held the back of her neck with his free hand as he kissed her back. This time, he allowed himself to kiss her deeper, lost in the moment. Y/N felt butterflies flutter around her stomach. Eddie's kiss was soft and warm, his touch sending shivers down her spine. All her dreams of this were nothing compared to reality. They kissed and clung to each other until their lungs burned for air. They stared at each other for a moment, smiling like idiots in love... because they were.
Eddie heard the trailer door open and the sound of keys hitting the counter. Y/N felt her heart race as she knew who it was. "I'll get him. Just wait here," Eddie said. He couldn't help but plant a quick peck on her lips. He knew he was never going to be tired of kissing her. He quickly went out before Wayne could make it far into the trailer.
"Hey, kid," Wayne sighed. He noticed a bounce in Eddie's step and was quick to question. "What's going on?"
"I have a surprise for you," Eddie said. He didn't want to ruin the moment by telling Wayne he told him so, instead he took the path Y/N would encourage. He kept his mouth closed and waved Wayne over. Wayne slowly followed behind Eddie and peered into the room. Eddie watched as the tears immediately filled Wayne's eyes.
"Oh my," he whispered. "My precious girl." Wayne didn't waste a second to bring her into a bone crushing hug. Eddie went to tell him to be gentle but Y/N waved her hand. She hugged him back just as hard. Wayne couldn't help softly cry into her as he held her. "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry."
Watching the tearful reunion, Eddie felt a sense of peace he hadn't experienced in some time. He knew she was safe with him, and that was all that mattered.
Johnny and reader are in love and reed basically forces Johnny to break up with her because it’s a distraction to the teen according to read but afterwards Johnny is so unhappy that they get back together and have a nice little ending but it’s super angsty and hurtful. Maybe they sneak around to see each other but get caught. I love your writing ❤️❤️
I hope this is what you wanted and you enjoy it! Thank you for requesting 🫶🏻
The Human Torch 🔥
"Where the hell is Johnny?" Reed asked, his voice raised lightly. Sue shrugged as she stepped into her space suit. Ben had a feeling where he was.
"He's probably with Y/N," Sue guessed. She noticed Reed tensed at the mention of Y/N's name and frowned. She knew what her husband was thinking and didn't exactly agree. The issue was that Johnny was in love, like actually in love. Johnny was committed to his family and to his superhero duties all his career. Then he met a girl and his attention started to shift. Sue didn't blame her baby brother, she understood it was his first real relationship and he wanted to spend every moment with her. Sue thought it was romantic.
But Reed didn't think it was romantic. Reed saw her as a roadblock, an obstacle, and a distraction. "I think it's time we have a conversation with him."
"A true conversation or just telling him what to do?" Sue asked. Reed sighed at her fighting tone and helped her adjust her suit. He checked how the measurements fit her body and bit his tongue. "Would you have listened if someone told you to stay away from me?"
"That's different!" Reed huffed, checking off his check list as the suit seemed to be perfect. "We work together. You don't distract me and keep me from important things."
Ben stayed silent as Reed moved on to his suit. Sue took off the suit. "What do you think?" Reed asked. Ben was conflicted as he looked between Reed and Sue.
"I think him not being on time for the fitting is unprofessional," Ben stated.
"Thank you!" Reed said as he slammed his clipboard. Before he could say another word, the elevator door opened and Johnny came bouncing in.
"Sorry I'm late! Lost track of time," Johnny said. He didn't notice the heavy tension as he put on his suit with a huge smile on his face. His chest still buzzed with excitement from the moments ago with his girlfriend.
~~~
Johnny chased Y/N's lips as she tried to pull away, a small laugh left her chest.
"Johnny, your watch is beeping," she said, successful as she got her lips free. Johnny pouted and batted his baby blue eyes at her.
"Just a few more minutes?" He begged, his hot touch on her thighs made her falter for a second and he took advantage of it and captured her into another kiss. She moaned as his tongue slid inside her mouth, the moment interrupted by another loud beep. Johnny pulled away and looked down at it, the red alert flashed and he groaned. "Damn it."
Y/N watched with a smile as he got off her with a grumpy look. "You can come over after you are all done being an incredibly hot superhero." She teased. He chuckled and gave one last kiss to her lips. She bit her lip as he flew out her window, a trail of flames behind.
~
"I've paged you four times, Johnny! What the hell?" Reed cursed as Johnny flew in and saved his family. He was a few minutes too late, a lot of damage done and Reed was pissed. Reed was thrown on the ground, pressure in his head as his forehead bled. Sue wasn't injured, but exhausted from the overuse of her ability without Johnny's help. Ben did the best he could, but it was the fantastic four for a reason, all four were important.
"The damn thing only went off once!" Johnny lied. He grabbed Reed's hand and yanked him back to his feet. Sue walked over to Reed and checked the cut on his head.
"I made your watch. I know that it works. Don't lie to me, kid," Reed snarled. His body relaxed under Sue's touch as she dabbed away his blood. "You were with that damn girl and it's becoming unacceptable!" Reed said, his voice rising with every word. Sue looked nervous between her brother and husband. Johnny tried to take deep breaths, not wanting to lash out and send a ball of fire right at Reed's head.
"I've never once left you guys hanging! I've always shown up!" Johnny argued. "Leave her out of this."
"No. She's distracting you. How can we expect the world to rely on us if we can't trust you to show up?"
Johnny stepped back from the comment, as if it physically hit him. He looked at Sue, and she avoided his eyes. He looked at Ben and he gave him a shrug and sigh. "You guys can't rely on me?"
"It's just," Sue sighed as she looked at her baby brother, "I know how exciting it is to be in love, and I know how blinding it is. We need you to still be capable of being the Human Torch."
"I can! I have been!" Johnny still argued.
"If there wasn't an issue, we wouldn't be having this conversation," Reed spoke, Johnny glared over Sue's shoulder as he looked at him. Sue could sense the room was far too heated as Johnny's breathing picked up. "I'm sorry that it's come down to this but I'll no longer have you a part of my team if she's around."
"Reed!" Sue said in shock and turned around. "That's unnecessary. Give him a chance!"
"You're saying I have to break up with my girlfriend so I can stay your fucking lab dog? Fuck you," Johnny spat, he burst into flames and vanished.
"I can't believe you," Sue said, just like her brother she vanished into thin air.
"You still agree with me, right?" Reed asked Ben.
"Yes," Ben agreed.
~
Johnny didn't want to give Reed the satisfaction that Reed got in his head. Johnny panicked, the fantastic four were his family and he had a duty to the world. But Y/N was his girlfriend, a girl he imagined marrying. He was devastated that his family didn't seem to care to know who she was. Never once asked to meet her, just bitched that his time was spent with her. He appeared at her window and felt his body relax as she smiled.
"There he is," she cheered. She ran and wrapped his arms around his neck and pulled him into a passionate kiss. Johnny melted and kissed her back, his arms around her waist. Every bone and muscle in his body relaxed from her touch, and he was meant to think she was a problem? She pulled away far too soon and Johnny whined. "How did everything go?"
"Absolute shit," Johnny faked laughed. "Reed and I got into a massive argument over something stupid and then he threatened my part in his team. Unbelievable."
Y/N gulped as Johnny ranted. His touch left hers as he paced around her bedroom. "Why would he do that?" Johnny stopped at the sound of her voice. His fist already clenched as he thought back to Reed.
"He thinks you are distracting me and that turns me into a shitty person, apparently. He had the nerve to look me in my face and tell me I needed to pick him or you." Y/N looked concerned as Johnny's wild eyes appeared inches away from her. She could feel his heavy breaths and wasn't sure how to calm him down.
"Well, what happens now?"
"I guess I tell him to suck my dick and we run away," Johnny said as if it was truly his plan. Y/N couldn't believe how irrational Johnny was, the fantastic four was Johnny Storm.
"Johnny, you can't leave them."
"I don't need them."
"They need you, though, Johnny. And so does the world," Y/N said quietly. She cupped his face and his stomach knotted at the sad look on her face. He was already shaking his head, about to beg she doesn't say the next few words. "You have to pick him."
"No, that's bullshit," Johnny argued. "Sue knows this is real and she's going to talk to him and fix this."
"So then their marriage falls apart? If us being together causes so much damage, we can't be selfish."
"Why are you so easily giving up?" Johnny snapped. He pushed his hands off his face and bit his bottom lip as it trembled. "You don't even want to fight for us?"
"Of course, I do. I want to be with you and to have our future. But you'll never be happy if your family falls apart. And I can't allow you to do it for me." She softly cried as silent tears streamed down his face.
"Why don't I get a say in any of this?" Johnny scoffed. He stepped back and placed his hands on his hips. "I bet he would love you now knowing you are just like him, both so damn selfish."
She knew he was acting out of hurt and pain, and she wished she could make it easier for him. "I'm sorry, Johnny."
He didn't know why she got to cry when she was breaking up with him, why she gets to decide that their relationship is done no matter what Johnny wanted.
"You told me we'd always be together," Johnny whimpered, his anger cracked away and he was a shell of a vulnerable man. "I love you."
"I love you, too. That's why I'm doing this," she delicately wiped away his tears, and he gripped her arms desperately. "You have to go."
"No," Johnny refused. Y/N tried to pry her touch off of him but he refused to let her go. "Please, just let me stay tonight. One night to say goodbye and I'll be gone in the morning."
Y/N knew it would make everything harder, but she felt they deserved a real goodbye. Johnny deserved it. She nodded and allowed him to press his salty wet lips against hers. They removed their clothes, made love, and then he slipped away in the middle of the night.
~~~
Sue knocked on Johnny's door. It has been day three of Johnny living away in his room, only allowing Herbie in. He shut everyone out, just as Sue feared. She walked away from the door and walked angrily to her bedroom.
Reed slightly jumped as the bedroom door slammed. Sue walked over to the bed and stood at the end of it, arms crossed and a deadly look in her eyes. "You need to apologize to him and fix this."
Reed sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Things have been fixed. He's on time to everything, his watch beeps once and he comes to fight. This is exactly what we needed. You said we needed the Human Torch!"
"I didn't mean that Johnny had to completely vanish! Yeah, the Human Torch is great and he's making your team look good. What about my little brother, Reed? He hates us. He doesn't talk to any of us, he barely looks at us unless he has to. This isn't fixed." It killed Sue to see Johnny so broken. His eyes were always puffy and red, the tip of his nose was red and raw, and he barely looked alive.
"Did you forget the part where I gave him a decision? He had every chance to pick that girl and he didn't. Did you ever think that this was his decision?" Reed argued.
"He would never have had to make that decision if it wasn't for you." Sue snapped. Reed groaned when she vanished once again.
~
Herbie softly rubbed Johnny's head as he silently cried into his pillow. Johnny felt drained, physically and mentally. He knew he was going to miss her and he knew it was going to hurt, but this pain was so unbearable. He knew time was supposed to heal wounds, but he worried it would never heal. He ignored the knocks on his door.
"Don't let anyone in, Herbie. I'm going to sleep," his voice dry and cracked.
~~~
The next morning, Herbie brought Johnny a small breakfast tray. He didn't realize that Sue no longer asked for an invitation to enter Johnny's room, invisible and quiet as she placed herself on Johnny's chair. Once the door closed, she showed herself.
"Jesus!" Johnny gasped as he jumped. Herbie lightly squealed and placed the tray on Johnny's bed before he dropped it. "Privacy is a thing, you know."
"I know, but you wouldn't have let me in," she said with a sigh. "I'm really sorry about Reed."
"He's a big boy, he should apologize himself," Johnny huffed. Sue didn't want to invalidate Johnny's emotions so she allowed him to be frustrated and pissy. "Doesn't matter anyway. She's still gone at the end of the day."
"Why did you pick Reed?" Sue asked, her husband's words echoed in her head.
"I didn't. I picked her and she picked Reed," Johnny said, slightly coughing as he felt his throat tighten. He wasn't sure how he had any tears left to cry. Sue looked at his red eyes and her heart broke for him.
"What do you mean?" Sue pushed.
"She made the decision for us because she knew I would've left the fantastic four behind," Johnny felt guilty as he admitted it to his sister but not guilty enough to regret it, he still wanted her more.
"You love her enough to lose your family?" Sue questioned.
"I know how bad it sounds, but-"
"That's not why I asked, Johnny," Sue looked at him with gentle eyes. She stood up and sat next to him on his bed, a comforting hand on his. "The second you met Reed, you wanted to be part of his team. You two were incredible together, and I know you won't admit it but you looked up to him. I've had so many conversations with mom about you. Her and I thought the fantastic four would be the only love you'd have in your life. Y/N has changed you, and she has changed you for the better. You're no longer just a part of the fantastic four, you have a whole life to explore. Reed is going to come around, and I'm going to continue to realize it. You loved this girl enough to give up the biggest thing in your life, that's incredible." Johnny tried to blink away his tears as Sue began to cry. "It sounds like she truly loves you."
"She does," Johnny cried. "She's the best thing in my life and everything feels so dull without her."
"I'll deal with Reed. You go get her and be together. I'll help you keep it a secret until I get Reed to understand."
Johnny looked at her shocked, she stood up and gave him a smile, tears in her eyes.
"Just be on time from now on!" Sue demanded in an older sister tone. Johnny laughed and wiped his tears. He stood up and pulled her into a hug.
"Thank you," she nodded as she hugged him back. All she wanted was for her brother to be happy.
Johnny was quick to fly out his window. His heart raced with excitement as he thought about seeing her again. He knew it would be a small battle to convince her but with Sue on their side, they could truly be together.
Y/N turned off the light in her bathroom and walked into her bedroom, she jumped as she noticed a figure near her window.
"Johnny? What are you doing here?" Johnny didn't bother to answer. He walked over to her and placed his large hand on the back of her head and pulled her into a kiss. She moaned and lost herself in the passionate kiss, clinging to his body. Johnny's skin burned as she touched him, those few days without her was far too long. He slowed down the kiss, dragging it out until he pulled away. Her eyes were slow to flutter open, head in the clouds from his kiss.
"We did it your way and I'm miserable. I miss you. I want you. I need you," Johnny pleaded. She noticed the tired look in his red eyes.
"Johnny, we talked about this."
"I know. I know the world needs me, my team needs me, but you need me too. We can still be together, I just need to not give Reed a reason to not accept us. I talked with Sue, and she's going to help us. We can be together."
"But how? Even if you are evenly divided between me and him, he's going to be mad that it's still shared. He wants your full focus."
"Which he will soon, and that's why in the meantime he won't know we are back together." Johnny explained. Y/N looked at him like he was insane.
"Are you insane?"
"I'm a desperate man in love," Johnny chuckled. "Sue will cover for me and whenever Reed needs me, I'll just have to leave right away and come back."
"What a shame that neither of us thought of that?" Y/N said sarcastically. Johnny playfully poked her side with his finger and she squealed.
"What do you think? Will you do this crazy shit with me?" His words and eyes begged her, but it wasn't necessary.
"Absolutely, Mr. Storm."
~~~
Sue gave Johnny wink as he slipped out the front door, flowers in his hand. Reed sat up from the couch, just seeing the back of Johnny's head.
"Well, it's been two weeks and he seems back to normal," Reed shrugged.
"I think he has hope again," Sue smiled. She softly rubbed Reed's chest. "He loves her Reed. Let him prove to you he can handle the team and a relationship."
Reed sighed and relaxed under her touch. "Okay, I'll step back and see how it goes. But if he's still a child..." He trailed off and Sue rolled her eyes.
~
"I don't think I want our date to be done yet," Y/N said sadly as they walked hand in hand towards her house.
"Who says it has to be?" Johnny said as he stopped walking. He got a naughty idea and the smirk on his face caught her attention. "What if we go to my place for once?"
"Your place? As in the place you share with Reed? The man who can't know we are together?" She questioned, her eyes squinted at him to see if he was alright.
"Yeah," he shrugged and closed the space between them. "Think about how hot it would be? We'll sneak into my room, I'll fuck you right there on my bed, then I'll fly you home."
Y/N tried to be rational and think with her brain, and not the pulsing cunt in her pants. She hated how hot it sounded and how badly she wanted to do it.
"I can see you fighting it, don't. It's fun to play with fire," he said with a wink. She didn't get a chance to answer before he burst into flames and flew in the direction of his house.
Once their feet landed on his floor, their lips clashed together and their hands tried to strip each other. Y/N moaned as Johnny walked them to the bed and pulled her on his lap as he fell back. She grinded against his jeans, shivering at the feeling of his hard cock. Johnny moved his hands to grip her ass and push her against him when the door flew open. Y/N jumped away, embarrassed as she scrambled to her feet. She wiped her mouth as if it deleted the evidence. Johnny panted on his bed.
Reed stood there with a disbelief look on his face. Sue appeared behind him, mildly confused as to why Johnny would have brought Y/N here. But since it was the first time Sue saw her, she took the time to admire how pretty she was.
"Sorry, I didn't realize you had a guest," Reed awkwardly coughed, he wasn't sure where to look after what he saw. "You must be Y/N? I didn't expect to see you since the break up." Johnny stood up and protectively stood in front of her.
"We were just leaving," Johnny said and grabbed her hand.
"I actually wanted to apologize," Reed said, finally looking at him. "It's not my place to tell you what to do and I'm sorry. I'm sorry I tried to make you pick and that I tried to control you."
"Thanks for, um, apologizing" Johnny mumbled. He wasn't sure what to say, but he was glad he finally came around. "I'm going to be part of the team and be with her."
"I understand," Reed nodded.
"How about we all go out to dinner? Get to know Johnny's girlfriend," Sue suggested, cracking the tension.
"That would be great, my treat," Reed said and gave Johnny and Y/N his friendliest smile.
"Sounds great," Y/N said and squeezed Johnny's hand. "This will be good," she whispered. Johnny wasn't too happy about the idea but if she felt like it was a good idea, he'd do it.
All that mattered was that he could be The Human Torch and Johnny.

Radio tower
Y/N giggle at Steve's awful joke and his eyes lit up. Robin thought the joke was stupid and told him so. But he made Y/N laugh and that was his goal. He admired how big her smile was and how beautiful she sounded. Robin excused herself to get another cup of coffee. Steve stepped a tiny bit closer to Y/N and hoped she didn't notice.
"So uh did you enjoy last night?" Steve asked and crossed his arms. He had a small smirk on his lips as she looked flustered at the question.
"I did. Did you?" She shyly admitted. They had a small dinner at his apartment, nothing spectacular. But she knew that's not what he was asking about. He was asking about what happened after the dinner. The part where he bent her over his kitchen counter.
"Absolutely," he said with a smile. "I think it keeps getting better."
She felt her insides burn as he looked at her lips and slowly leaned in.
"What keeps getting better?" Robin asked as she ruined the moment. Steve groaned and pulled away. Before Steve could make up a story, the door opened.
~
Y/N couldn't help but frown as she watched Steve race Jonathan up the radio tower. She didn't want Steve to get hurt and she also didn't like that it seemed to be a performance for Nancy.
"What is it about your presence that brings out their inner Neanderthal?" Robin asked Nancy after Nancy sighed annoyed. Y/N felt her stomach twist as Robin confirmed her theory. Y/N had liked Steve for years, as most girls in their high school did. She just never outgrew her Steve Harrington fantasy. For many years he was hooked on Nancy, then she moved on and he began to date again. Y/N was lucky enough to be one of those girls. They weren't officially together but they've been on many dates and have been connecting on a deeper level. They kissed and had sex a few times and originally, she didn't think it was a bad thing. But as she watched him fight for Nancy's attention, she feared he wasn't fully ready to move on. Robin noticed Murray's van pull up and began to walk over and dropped Steve's jacket. Nancy followed since she didn't want to watch the macho show. Y/N picked up Steve's jacket and looked back up to him. The boys were inches away from the top, seemed like it was going to end in a tie. Y/N followed after the girls, swallowing down her embarrassment.
Steve and Jonathan panted as they reached the top. They looked over the edge and noticed all the girls left. Steve felt his frown deepen when he noticed Y/N also wasn't there anymore. He quickly went back down and Jonathan rushed behind.
Steve jogged up to Murray's van, sweaty and out of breath. Y/N cursed herself for looking at him as she found his sweaty hair and heavy breaths attractive. Murray handed him a Gatorade and Y/N couldn't help but watch him chug it down. He must have felt her stare because he found her eyes right away. He sent her a small wink and she quickly looked away.
After Murray passed everything out, he left. Jonathan ran after Nancy and Steve noticed Y/N had his jacket. He walked over to her and gently brushed his shoulder against hers.
"Thanks for grabbing my jacket," Steve said. Y/N handed it to him and he threw it over his free shoulder.
"No problem. Robin dropped it in the dirt," she laughed. Steve laughed with her, not at all surprised by Robin's actions. As Y/N mentioned Robin's name she remembered the comment she made to Nancy. Y/N felt her laugh die and the same gross feeling in her stomach take over.
"I won by the way," Steve said as he watched her face for a reaction. She flashed him a small smile but not as big as he hoped.
"I'm sure Nancy will be swooned," she said and began to walk faster. Steve noticed her fake nice tone immediately and frowned. Steve sped up and caught up to her.
"Nancy? I wasn't..." Steve trailed off knowing it was leading into a lie. He could see the hurt on her face that she tried to cover with a smile, and he felt guilty.
"You're welcome for the jacket," she said before she quickly rushed into the radio station. Steve stood outside for a second to gather his thoughts. He hated how natural it was to have Nancy as his first thought. He truly didn't want her to be. He wanted to move on and he's been trying to forget her. When he was with Y/N, Y/N was the only thing he was focused on. He was intrigued by her mind. He loved her energy and how fun she was. She was a great kisser and he felt something real when they slept together. He felt something that he never felt when he had sex with Nancy. It seemed all his progress would vanish when Nancy was there.
Steve walked in and looked to find her. She was talking to Robin, and he assumed it was about the radio show. Robin gave a disapproving eye his way and he felt even worse.
Y/N waved at Robin and walked off. She walked to her small desk and gathered her things.
"Do you want a ride home?" Steve asked. He knew Robin was being picked up by Vickie so he had the seat free. And it gave them time to be alone.
"Sure," she said in a tight tone. Steve felt nervous as he walked out behind her. He quickly went to unlock his car and opened her door. She got in and didn't say a word. Steve closed her door and prayed he could sweet talk his way into forgiveness. "I don't want to talk so don't ask."
Steve deflated as he started the car and drove off.
~~~
Just to Steve's luck, Vecna decided to come out and play. Everything went to shit with Y/N and he couldn't even make it up to her because he was racing away from Demogorgons. Dustin was screaming at Steve to go faster but he was going as fast as his car could go. He slammed on the brakes and the Demogorgon smashed into the back of his car and was stunned for a moment. Steve countered on it and quickly drove a few steps away to turn around and run the damn thing over. The Demogorgon yelled in pain and limped as fast as it could into an opening. Steve and Dustin caught their breath as it ran inside.
"Nice job," Jonathan said from the back.
Steve nodded but didn't say anything. He was so annoyed by everything and all he wanted to do was see Y/N. He rubbed his eyes and let out a heavy sigh.
"Let's call it a night. We made it out so let's not test our luck," Nancy said. Steve honestly forgot she was back there. He was so occupied with wanting to make things right with Y/N. Nancy and Jonathan got out of the car and Steve began the drive to Dustin's.
"Why are you so grumpy today?" Dustin asked.
Steve lightly glared in Dustin's direction. "I'm not grumpy. Sorry I'm not in a happy mood after a damn Demogorgon chased me." Steve lightly shouted.
"You were grumpy before then," Dustin pointed out. "But whatever you say." Dustin looked out the window and Steve thought to himself.
After a few moments of silence, Steve spoke, "I think I messed things up with Y/N." He felt a little pathetic to be telling this to Dustin but he was the only one he had. Dustin hummed as he took in the information.
"The cute girl from the radio station?"
Steve nodded. "Yeah. The really cute one that is so out of my league that I'm shocked she looked in my direction. I'm lucky enough to score dates with her and I fuck it up. Unbelievable."
"Are you sure you fucked it up? Or just slightly put a bump in your path of romance?" Dustin asked.
"Path of romance? Who says that?" Steve scoffed at Dustin with a wild look. Dustin gave him an unimpressed look in return. "I think she thinks I'm into Nancy."
"Yikes"
"I know," Steve sighed. "Which I'm not! I know in my heart I don't love her. I don't know why I do it."
"For once, I don't have an answer," Dustin said. "I'd advise talking to her and see what happens."
Steve nodded.
~
Steve headed straight to her apartment after he dropped Dustin off. He checked his watch and cringed at the late time. He still knocked on her door, desperate to make things right. He heard the sound of her door unlocking and he held his breath. She opened the door and seemed surprised, which he understood.
"I want to come here much earlier but I got caught up in Demogorgon shit," he explained. She looked at him concerned and yanked him inside. She quickly shut the door and locked it, even though it wouldn't stop the monsters.
"Are you okay? Why did no one contact me?" She asked. She didn't think as she began to run her hands along his body to check for injuries.
"I'm fine. And it came out of nowhere, but I want to talk to you about the whole Nancy thing."
"You don't have to explain, Steve," she sighed. He looked at her confused. "I'm sorry for getting upset."
"No don't be sorry," Steve said. He walked over to her and cupped her cheek. "I'm sorry. I really like you and I've loved spending time with you. I'm sorry I was an idiot and that it took me this long to say that I want you and I want us to be together."
"What about Nancy?" She asked. She wanted to believe him and she so badly wanted to be with him. But she couldn't stay in Nancy's shadow anymore. She didn't want to be the second choice. "I like you Steve but I don't want to be played."
"I know I fucked up and I know I've treated you poorly because of it. But when I was trying to get away from that Demogorgon, all I could think about was you. I thought about how much I hate myself for ever screwing up with you. I thought about all the different ways I want to fix this. I don't love, Nancy. And I've known that for a long time. For the longest time, I spent every day of my life trying to get Nancy to see me. It almost felt like a default reaction. But knowing I risk losing you is the thing that scares me most." His brown eyes stared into hers and she felt the heaviness of his words. "I only want you."
She fluttered her eyes closed for a second. When she opened them, Steve was slightly closer than before. He licked his lips nervously as he shifted his eyes to her lips. "Prove it," she whispered.
Steve's eyes flashed back up to hers, air caught in his throat. He questioned her with his eyes.
"Prove to me I'm the only one," she challenged. She gasped when his hand on her cheek moved to hold the back of her neck. He pushed her head up and smashed his lips on hers. She moaned at how desperate and passionate the kiss felt. He pushed her against the door with a soft thud. She could barely keep up as his hands moved down to her sleep shorts. His hand slid inside her underwear and she whined into his mouth. He ran his pointer finger up and down her cunt. He slowly pulled away from the kiss, a smirk on his lips as he smeared her wetness around.
"Feel how badly I want you," Steve said as he pushed his hips forward. She felt his hard cock against her thigh and she clenched around his hand. "Fucking gorgeous," he said before he began an attack on her neck. She melted against the door and allowed him to handle her the way he wanted. She gripped his shoulder in a death grip as he slid two fingers inside of her. "So wet and warm for me." She shivered at his praise and whined as he sucked her neck.
"Faster please, Steve," she begged. He felt pleasure in the way she gripped his shoulder through his shirt. Her cunt clenched around him as he picked up his pace. He'd give her anything she asked for. "Yes, yes, fuck." She chanted into his ear. He moved out of her neck and pressed a slow kiss to her lips. Her head spun as he softly bit her bottom lip. He tugged her lip down and watched it return to its original place.
"Such a good girl. You look so beautiful falling apart on my fingers." His praise added to the pleasure in her stomach. She couldn't tell what she wanted. A part of her wanted him to stay knuckle deep inside of her. Another part wanted his head between her thighs. Then a third part wanted his cock stuffed inside of her until she was bruised. He was damn good for all three.
~
Y/N shifted as she opened her eyes. She groaned when she looked right into the sun. She went to roll over but felt an arm tighten around her. She looked over her shoulder and smiled as Steve's hair was scattered on her pillow. He was on his stomach, one arm wrapped around her and the other under his head. She rolled in his arms so she could face him. Goosebumps raised on Steve's skin as she traced the scratch marks on his back. He softly groaned and his eyes fluttered open. He gave her a tired smile and dragged her closer.
"Morning," his voice was deep and raspy and it made her thighs clench. He placed a warm kiss on her naked shoulder.
"Morning." She pushed his hair out of his face. "Thank you for apologizing and coming to see me."
"Thank you for hearing me out. I promise I meant everything," he replied. It felt amazing to wake up next to her and he was scared he'd never get to do it again.
"I believe you."
Steve smiled and felt relieved. "Does that mean you'll be my girlfriend?" His heart pounded as he waited for her to answer.
"Well you did come to apologize after being chased by monsters. Then spent the next three hours showing how sorry you were," they shared a quick laugh, "so yes, I'll be your girlfriend."
Steve's smile got a thousand times bigger and he pressed a thankful kiss against her lips.
The idea was an angsty or hurt/comfort Eddie x reader (gender neutral if can) where reader is "clingy" but with a happy ending
Reader has always been very affectionate all the time before and while them and Eddie are dating, always hugging him or holding his hand and is always around Eddie, he, on the other hand starts to get pissed about it but doesn't tell them and breaks at one point and yells at reader and calling them annoying and too clingy - they break up for a while but Eddie starts to miss them and their affections and they get back together but now reader is always trying not to be "clingy" and stops showing any affection cuz they're anxious about showing it or being too much and Eddie notices it
I'm so sorry i hope it's not too long or complicated 😭
( idk why it didn't got sent tbh i was scared cuz i thought that maybe the request was too lame to be written so that's why there wasn't any news about it but if it's still lame or weird don't force yourself to write anything)
I hope this is what you wanted and you enjoy it! Thank you for requesting 🫶🏻
Be you
At first, Eddie didn't see an issue with Y/N's affection. Even before Eddie had the balls to finally ask them out, Y/N was already touchy with him. He assumed it was their way of flirting, which he found enjoyable, so when it continued after they began dating, he didn't see a problem.
However, there was a significant flaw in Eddie: he was easily influenced. He preached as if he were a leader, but in reality, all he truly desired was to belong, leading him to follow others. Eddie wasn't aware of it and he wasn't aware how much it would ruin his relationship.
~~~
Eddie scribbled down random answers for his math homework that he forgot to do last night, the rest of the table using lunch period for what it was for. Y/N was mindlessly leaning against Eddie's arm, their fingers softly played with his free hand. It wasn't as if Y/N was distracting him or needing his attention, they simple wanted to be skin on skin. It was so natural that Eddie didn't even notice, adapting to the relaxing feeling of their fingers. Y/N noticed Eddie's scribbled answers stopped on a question, they noticed the line in his forehead as he tried to think.
"It's four," Y/N mumbled against the leather of his jacket.
"Thanks," he said and wrote down the answer.
Eddie was unaware of all the side glances passed along the table. It wasn't that Hellfire didn't like Y/N, it was just that they were always around and attached to Eddie's every move. They missed getting to see Eddie and hangout with only him.
~~~
"Hey so I'm having a sleepover with the boys tonight, you want to come? I've got beer, nudy magazines and video games!" Gareth said as he tossed his arm over Eddie's shoulder as they walked out of Hellfire.
Eddie chuckled and shook his head. "Sorry, I already have plans with Y/N. And dude, I told you I've stopped with the magazines," Eddie said as he held his hands in surrender. Eddie walked off to his van and Gareth felt disappointed.
~~~
It was Mike's birthday and Eddie felt too bad to say no to his invitation as he handed it to him.
"Don't feel like you have to come, but the rest of the guys will be there too!" Mike said, hoping he didn't sound too excited in front of him.
Eddie nodded, aware his night was open. "Yeah, can I bring Y/N? Or just us only?" Eddie didn't mean anything by the question, simply curious if his partner could tag along. He felt the question was a mistake as the air felt thick. "Us, only. Totally got it."
"Sorry. It's not that I don't want them there, just not really close like that," Mike tried to explain.
"Dude, trust me, it's all good," Eddie said. He knew Y/N wouldn't care in the slightest because they weren't close anyway.
"Are you sure? I know you guys aren't really apart," Mike nervously said.
Eddie's calm demeanor slightly shifted as he squinted at Mike. "What does that mean?"
"I think he means that you and Y/N are literally glued together. Do they even allow you to do your own thing?" Gareth snapped. Mike gulped and shook his head.
"Not at all what I meant."
Eddie didn't care, though. His target was now Gareth. "Y/N doesn't control me, so what are you implying?"
"Realize it, dude. I haven't seen you in weeks. You never sleep over anymore, too busy lip locking with them. You were a man of his friends, I see that's changed." Gareth replied.
"I'm in a relationship! God fuckung forbid I want to see them." Eddie felt like this whole argument was bullshit.
"I just think they are always on you, touching you, and constantly up your ass." Gareth snarled.
"Y/N will be fine about the party, Mike. I'll be there." He said with a soft look towards Mike before he marched off. Eddie made it home and he felt conflicted. He hoped his friends and Y/N would get along and that he'd never have to face this. Was Y/N really that clingy?
He felt paranoid as he tossed in his bed all night long.
He woke up to the light sound of knocking on his front door. He yawned and rolled out of bed, he didn't bother to throw pants on over his boxers or slip on a shirt. He shuffled to the door and opened it. He smiled at his morning visitor. They pulled Eddie into a sweet kiss.
"Few more minutes?" Eddie whined as he walked towards his bed and flopped down. They laughed and joined him in bed. Y/N pulled Eddie into their arms and played with his hair to lure him to sleep. Eddie felt loved by the gesture and let out a sigh of comfort.
~
The day continued and Eddie was more aware of Y/N's constant touches. It didn't matter where he went, they were right behind him.
Then Eddie noticed it more and more as each day passed, and Gareth's words repeated in his head. His mind was poisoned and he couldn't escape from it. He attended Mike's birthday party and enjoyed his time alone. His friends seemed very excited to have him alone, and he felt guilty about it. He never noticed how different he was when his body wasn't caged in by Y/N's touch and demand.
Maybe Y/N was clingy and around too much.
~~~
Eddie was talking with Gareth at his locker when he noticed Gareth's expression slightly drop, then he felt an arm wrap around his waist.
He noticed it again later at the lunch table. He was talking with Lucas when he felt Y/N wrap themselves around his arm.
Then he noticed it with other people, that no matter who he talked to, Y/N would join the conversation by latching on to him. The simple touches began to suffocate him and he started to cringe when he felt them around.
Eddie tossed his backpack on his bed and sighed. It had been a long day inside his head and he wanted a time alone. But of course, he wasn't alone. Y/N bounced into his room with a glass of water.
"Should we start with math? Since you seem to be late with those," they chuckled and grabbed their assignment. Eddie rubbed his chin and sat on his bed.
"It's been a long day, can I just relax?" He sighed and sprawled out on his bed. Y/N frowned and gave him a nod.
"Yeah, should we take a nap?" They asked and placed down the water.
"I meant alone."
Y/N wasn't used to Eddie wanting to be alone but they didn't want to overstep a boundary. They watched as Eddie closed his eyes and relaxed into his pillow. Y/N walked over and placed a gentle kiss to his forehead and ignored the slight way he flinched.
~~~
Y/N wasn't sure what was going on with Eddie, ever since that night things had felt different and awkward. He began asking for more time alone, which they didn't want to have an issue with. They understood alone time was important but it seemed he was alone more than he was with them.
The final bell rang and Y/N caught Eddie in his van before he drove off. They knocked on the window and Eddie rolled it down, a distant look in his eyes.
"Hey, do you want to come over tonight?" They felt nervous to ask and they hated it. Everything used to feel so easy with Eddie. They already knew the response based on the way he sighed. "Again? Eddie we haven't had any time together in weeks."
"We are always together," Eddie scoffed. "I just need a break."
"A break? What does that even mean?" Y/N asked, their tone was frustrated and Eddie sensed it. "We aren't always together if you're never around."
"Have you thought about why I've started to not be around? Have you once thought that maybe you're so fucking clingy and you drive me insane!" He snapped. His body was fueled with anger that he didn't feel guilty when they backed away from the van.
Y/N flinched as he raised his voice, a rush of embarrassment ran down their body. Eddie needed a break from their clinginess and apparently them in general. Y/N didn't know wanting to show the love they had for Eddie was so unbearable. "You want a break from me? You got it."
Eddie watched as they didn't say another word, just picked up their head and walked away. Y/N tried to keep the tears in their eyes and walked to their car as fast as they could. They started their car and allowed themselves to be a little weak as they looked over at his van. They quickly looked away when they caught Eddie's stare.
~~~
The next day, everything felt different. Eddie woke up with a sharp pain in his gut and a tight throat. He groaned and rolled out of bed, his eyes landing on the small picture frame of Y/N, and the pain intensified. He got ready for the day as he normally did, and drove to school. He knew this was going to be the worst part. He gulped as he noticed their car already parked, a thousand spots away from where they normally did, which was next to Eddie's "claimed" spot.
He walked into school and found his friends huddled around Mike's locker. He gave his friends a small smile and they all looked behind him, waiting for Y/N to make their appearance.
"I guess I have some news!" Eddie weakly laughed. He knew the breakup was what he wanted, but he couldn't ignore the feeling in his gut that maybe it was a mistake. "We broke up."
He noticed that his friends tried not to seem excited as they gave him a pity slap on the shoulder. But they were right, he never made time for his friends with Y/N around.
~
Y/N hated that their other friends already graduated because they were stuck alone in school with their ex-boyfriend. Y/N didn't want to constantly find Eddie with their eyes but it was impossible. Y/N's eyes were always drawn to him and sadly, that didn't change within a day. The day dragged on and Y/N did their best to avoid Eddie.
The worst part is that Eddie seemed so happy. He didn't look sad, mad, or regretful. Whenever Y/N slyly looked at him, he was smiling with his friends. Maybe he did need a break from them, maybe Y/N truly was the problem. Once the final bell rang, they were more than relieved to run to their car. They tried to ignore that Eddie and his friends were at his van as they walked passed. They could feel many sets of eyes on them and hoped they looked as unbothered as they pretended to be.
Eddie couldn't help but look as they walked by. A whole day spent apart and Eddie wasn't sure if he liked it. But it seemed his friends were happier than ever for him, and he tried to convince himself his friends knew best. He looked away as Y/N got in their car and focused his attention on his friends. He forced a laugh out of his chest as Gareth tackled Dustin to the ground.
Y/N didn't go home, instead they headed straight to the radio station to see Steve and Robin.
"Heyyyy!" Robin cheered as Y/N walked in. "Where's lover boy?" Robin wiggled her eyebrows, not aware her comment added weight to Y/N's chest.
"He broke up with me," Y/N said, they tried to keep their voice strong but a slight crack made its way through.
"He what?" Steve asked, he was shocked. Eddie and Y/N were practically glued together and function as one.
"Do you guys think I'm annoying and clingy?"
"That's what the prick said to you?" Steve asked with a lot of judgement in his tone.
"He's not a prick," Y/N mumbled.
"No. I don't think you're annoying. I've been told I'm annoying and I don't see an ounce of me in you. Clingy? No such thing as clingy with the right people," Robin said. And to prove her point she wrapped her arm around Y/N and cuddled into their side. "Do you think this is clingy?"
"No, I think it's nice," Y/N said, "but Eddie isn't me. I mean he blew up on me out of nowhere and I don't know what happened."
Robin pulled away and frowned.
"I just don't understand how he suddenly thinks it's a problem when you've been the same way with him since even before you dated." Steve questioned out loud.
"I guess he got tired of it?" Y/N shrugged. "Today was fucking awful watching him all happy with his friends. I need to get my mind off of it, are you guys free to do something tonight?"
"Want to get drunk?" Steve asked with a smirk.
~
Y/N's arm was wrapped around Robin as they walked into the bar, Steve slightly behind as he locked the car.
"I'll go get the drinks!" Steve declared and walked right up to the bar. Y/N and Robin found a small booth and settled in.
"I'm sorry about Eddie," Robin said with a sad smile. "I know you really liked him."
"Yeah," Y/N sighed. "But I guess it's the right thing to do if he's unhappy. I just didn't think I'd make him unhappy."
Robin frowned as Y/N began to tear up. Robin grabbed their hand and gave it a squeeze. "Fuck that long hair loser. He's going to regret losing you."
"Alright, let's get fucked up!" Steve cheered as he placed down three drinks and three shots. "The best part about break ups." Steve slid next to Y/N and their shoulders brushed. Y/N grabbed the shot and slammed it down their throat, Steve quickly caught up and Robin cringed as she tasted the burn.
"Oh, that's awful," Y/N laughed.
The night continued and Y/N wasn't sure how much alcohol they consumed but they enjoyed the lightness they felt in their chest, the ghost of Eddie finally gone. Even if they would wake up tomorrow and the ghost of Eddie returned to haunt them, at least right now he was long gone.
Well, until he walked through the door. Y/N didn't notice, too busy playing darts with Steve. Robin noticed, and stiffened when Eddie caught her looking. She didn't want to alarm Y/N, not wanting to ruin their good buzz. She tried to catch Steve's eye and once she did, she nodded towards the door. Steve looked behind him and glared once he noticed Eddie. He rolled his eyes and turned back to the darts.
"Son of a bitch!" Steve groaned as Y/N landed another bullseye. "Should we call it a night?" Steve looked at his watch.
"What? No! I'm having funnnnnn," Y/N whined and gripped Steve's arm.
Eddie didn't want to be out at a bar but Gareth dragged him. And now he definitely regretted it as Y/N looked incredible as they beat Steve's ass in darts.
"Hey man, don't bother," Gareth said as he stole Eddie's attention. Eddie nodded, but still glanced in their direction. When Gareth left to use the bathroom, Eddie used it as time to look at Y/N. He felt his stomach twist with jealousy as they looped their arm around Steve's waist. He wasn't jealous because the touch felt romantic, because it wasn't. He was jealous that they didn't need him anymore, that they had other sources of comfort. He didn't realize how much that would hurt.
~~~
A week passed, and Eddie hoped the unease in his gut would have vanished, but instead it seemed to worsen each day. He tried to get them out of his head but it was impossible. It felt as if a piece of him was missing and his body always felt cold.
Eddie didn't have a plan when he showed up at their door, no speech in his head as he opened his mouth to talk to them. Y/N let him inside their house and closed the door. They wrapped their arms around themselves, needing some sort of a comforting touch.
"I miss you," Eddie confessed. Y/N sighed and closed their eyes for a second. It was something they wanted to hear, but it made everything complicated. "I know I'm not supposed to. I know I broke up with you and I deserve to deal with the consequences of losing you. But I really miss you."
"I miss you, too," Y/N admitted. "You wanted a break from me, Eddie. Do you know how hurtful that was?"
"At the moment, I didn't. I felt overwhelmed and I said shit I didn't mean." Eddie's eyes held regret and sadness and they tried not to get sucked into his puppy eyes.
"If you didn't mean it, why did it seem like you were happier with me gone?" The question hung over Y/N's head every day for the last week. It was as if they meant nothing to Eddie and left no impact behind.
"I was faking it. I've had this awful feeling in my gut ever since I let you walk away. But I saw you with Steve and Robin at a bar a few nights ago, you seemed happy without me."
"I haven't been happy since our breakup, Eddie. I wish I could say I made the tiniest bit of progress but I've been miserable. We went out to get drinks, to cheer me up because my friends knew how much you meant to me. I didn't even know you were there," Y/N said. "You weren't there to meet someone, right?"
Eddie could hear the insecurity in their voice and he hated how he destroyed their relationship. He did it all because he felt like he was supposed to, yet nothing ever got better.
"No," he said without hesitation, "The thought hasn't even crossed my mind."
Y/N nodded at his words, the comment added some sort of comfort to their broken heart. "So, what do you want?"
"You. I want you. I want to fix the dumb mistake I made, and get to love you." He stepped closer and cupped their face in his hands.
Y/N sighed, already weak as they melted into his hands.
"I'm sorry for everything. You were never the issue, my head was," he apologized, his eyes begged for them to forgive him.
"Will you communicate with me when you get overwhelmed?" They quietly asked, their eyes on his nose as they were too scared to look into his eyes.
"Yes," he promised. Please, I want to treat you right."
"Okay," Y/N whispered.
~~~
With Y/N back in his life, everything almost felt back to normal. The awful feeling in his gut vanished and he could breathe again. He assumed nothing would have been different, and maybe that was wishful thinking. He assumed no damage was done, but he was wrong.
Y/N was happy to be with Eddie, and they could see Eddie was putting in all the work to make up for his mistake. Y/N tried to act like nothing was different, but they second guessed everything with him. Whenever they wanted to cuddle into his side as he talked to a friend, their mind flicked back to being called clingy, so they stepped back and kept their distance. Or at lunch, they craved to play with Eddie's fingers but fiddled with their lunch tray instead. They tried their best to give Eddie space, afraid to be too much for him.
Eddie focused on his homework as Y/N made a snack in the small trailer. He looked up from his paper and gazed at them. He smiled to himself, happy to have them in their life again. "Come sit by me," Eddie whined.
Y/N laughed and brought over the plate of cookies. "Did you finish your assignment?" They sat on the chair next to him, but Eddie wanted them closer. He grabbed the leg of the chair and pulled it until their chair was right against his.
"Not yet, but can we just lay in my bed and cuddle? I miss your touch," Eddie said, his puppy eyes sucked them in. Y/N missed his touch, and it excited them that he was the one that wanted to be affectionate.
"Sure," they said with a smile. They grabbed his hand and they went into his bedroom. Eddie sighed as his back hit his mattress and Y/N climbed to cuddle into their side. Y/N soaked in how his body felt since it was the first time they had felt him in a while. His arm wrapped around their shoulders and Y/N's head against his chest as they listened to his heartbeat.
"I've missed this," Eddie whispered.
"Me too." Y/N said back. "Feels nice."
"I've noticed things have been... different," Eddie said. He was nervous as he looked at his ceiling.
"What do you mean?" Y/N questioned, they turned their head to look at him.
"There's a distance between us, and I think I know why," he looked down at them and softly rubbed their shoulder. "I don't want you to be nervous to touch me."
"I don't want to be either, it's just hard," Y/N shrugged, suddenly Eddie's chest was far more intriguing as they traced the letters on his shirt.
"I was an idiot. Gareth got in my head and I felt like I was supposed to have an issue with our relationship, but I didn't. I didn't even notice how affectionate you were until he pointed it out. He was wrong, and I was wrong. I love feeling you touch me."
"You never said anything about Gareth," Y/N said and scrunched their face in confusion.
"I didn't want it to be an excuse. I was the one who allowed myself to be brainwashed and I didn't stand up for us. I want you to be your true self with me." Eddie used his free arm and moved to cup their face, forcing them to look at him.
"Okay," they smiled, "I'll be me."
"Good," Eddie said. He leaned in and placed a soft kiss to their lips.

Doubtful
Even though Steve and Y/N broke up years ago, they kept in touch and stayed friends. Some people thought it was weird but they both knew they didn't feel anything for each other. Even though Steve didn't have the best luck with girls, she wanted his advice on how she should make a move on her crush, Eddie Munson. So, they had been spending more time together as she learned all the different ways to communicate how she felt.
~
The tv lit up the small trailer and allowed the couple on the couch to share shy glances. Y/N had been wanting to make a more impactful move on Eddie that would lead them into the next stage of a relationship. Right now they were in the flirty and teasing stage. She had a feeling he was into her, because why else would they constantly be hanging out and finding excuses to touch each other. But it's been months of the same thing and she craved to be official. She wanted nothing more than to be Eddie's girlfriend but he hadn't asked yet. She knew she could technically make the move but she had that slight fear of rejection. Steve tried to help her gain the confidence and said guys love a girl who takes charge.
Y/N lightly jumped when Eddie's warm hand landed on her knee. She was cuddled into his side and shivered as his hand moved up her thigh. She looked over at him and he kept his eyes on the TV but he had a small smirk on his face. She focused on his pink lips and practically drooled as she pictured them pressed against hers. Eddie could feel her stare and he tried to hype himself up in his head to finally kiss her.
"Eddie?" She whispered.
"Hm?" He asked as he turned his head to look at her. He was nervous about how close she was. His hand froze on her thigh as she leaned in. He swallowed and closed the space between them. His heart raced as his lips touched hers. The kiss was even better than he dreamed it would be. Her lips were so soft and just perfect. He moved his hand to hold the back of her head and deepened the kiss. Y/N didn't hold back and lost herself in the kiss. She crawled on his lap and hooked her arms around his neck. She shivered as his hands moved down her back and gripped her hips. His tongue slid in her mouth and she let out a whine that traveled straight to Eddie's jeans.
Y/N slowly pulled away and Eddie looked at her with heavy eyes. She hoped this would be the moment he asked but he pressed his lips against hers again.
~~~
The next day Y/N raced to the video store to find Steve. She bounced at the counter and repeatedly rang the service bell.
Steve came out from the back and sighed as he took away the bell. "Hello to you too!"
"He kissed me!" Y/N squealed excitedly. Steve smiled at her excitement and crossed his arms.
"Well congratulations. It only took him..." Steve trailed off as he looked at his watch as if it would tell him, "three months?" He teased. Y/N rolled her eyes at Steve's smirk.
"I think he likes to take things slow," Y/N shrugged. "I hoped he would ask me to officially be his girlfriend but a make out is definitely a step in that direction."
"Slow is good. It gives you guys time to make sure you know what you feel and want."
~
Eddie hummed to himself as he walked into the video store. He held the movie from last night in his hand and planned to return it. He stopped walking when he noticed Y/N at the counter talking to Steve. Eddie was aware that they used to go out and he couldn't help but feel jealous as she smiled at him. Eddie wasn't sure what they were talking about and he didn't like the way Steve leaned in and whispered something to her. They were leaning in closer and closer and Eddie didn't like the feeling in his stomach. He clenched his fist and walked back out.
~~~
Eddie really wanted to ask Y/N officially out but now he felt doubtful. He began to see her and Steve together way more than before. If Eddie wasn't with her, she was with Steve. Eddie didn't want to think the worst but why else would two exes constantly be around each other? He felt disappointed because he really thought Y/N liked him.
Y/N dangled her fingers near Eddie's as they sat on his couch. She tried to hint that she wanted to hold his hand but he seemed distracted. And he had been distracted for a while. She thought they would make progress after they made out a few nights ago but he seemed more distant than ever. Feeling desperate for his attention, she leaned in and pressed soft kisses to his neck. She felt his body shiver and his breathing picked up.
"You okay?" She whispered and slowly pulled away. Eddie tried to regain his thoughts as he felt the ghost of her lips on his neck.
"Yeah," he coughed and tried to sound confident.
"You've been quiet lately. Is there something on your mind?" She tried to get more out of him.
Eddie had the opportunity to speak up but he wasn't sure he wanted to face it. If he talked about it, would she leave and tell him that she still loved Steve? Maybe she was looking for an escape and he wasn't ready to give it to her.
"I'm fine," he smiled and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. She sighed and cuddled into his side with a smile.
~~~
Eddie frowned as he watched Y/N talk to Steve. They came to this party together and she left him behind to sneak away with Steve. She said she went to get a drink but Eddie wasn't dumb. She grabbed a drink and walked right over to Steve. Eddie looked away from the painful sight and grabbed another drink. He kept slamming them down in hopes it would lessen the ache in his heart.
She probably used Eddie to make Steve jealous. That was her plan all along and it seemed to work since Steve had his attention on her and only her. He should have known better. He was a freak and she was King Steve's ex-girlfriend, of course she didn't want Eddie. With his back to her, he scanned the room for a girl to make him feel better. A girl to show Y/N that he had other options too.
~
"We've been talking and hanging out for a few months now and I really like you. When we kiss, my heart races and I crave more of you. Something like that?" Y/N asked and nervously sipped on her drink. She decided tonight was the night she was going to confess to Eddie how she felt and hoped he'd tell her he felt the same.
"Trust me, the boy likes you. Just tell him how you feel and he's going to feel the same," Steve said as he tried to encourage her.
"Okay, I got this," she said and finished her drink. She slammed down her cup and felt the buzz of alcohol fuel her as she went to look for him. The house was quite big and she was getting annoyed by how difficult it seemed to spot him. She wandered around for a few minutes as she walked around half the house.
She smiled once she finally spotted him on the couch. He sat alone as he swirled his cup around. With every step she made towards him, she encouraged herself and tried to shake away her nerves. She was a few steps away when a girl slid on his lap and handed him another drink. Y/N halted as she tried to figure out what was going on. Eddie took the cup from the girl with a dazzling smile that made Y/N's stomach turn. He must have felt her eyes because he looked up. His smile dropped as he looked at her. She noticed a different look in his eye, almost something hateful. She stepped forward to confront him but froze as he leaned in and smashed his lips against the girl's. He didn't look away from Y/N as the girl practically humped his lap and ranked her slimy hands through his hair. Y/N wasn't sure why Eddie wanted to hurt her but he was successful. She turned around and ran as fast as she could. She barely knew how to find the front door but she needed to escape. Her vision blurred as tears filled her eyes. She felt like an idiot. She spent months trying to get Eddie to ask her out. It took three months to kiss him. She felt embarrassed as she thought back to telling Steve about how she just thought he wanted to take things slow. But he certainly didn't take things slow with the tramp on his lap.
Eddie slightly shoved the girl off of him as Y/N disappeared. She looked jealous, which was what he wanted but he didn't expect the pure look of betrayal on her face. He quickly stood up but was harshly shoved back down. He landed on the couch and looked up, of course Steve Harrington had to be there.
"Of fucking course," Eddie sighed. Steve towered over him with a pissed off look and his arms crossed.
"What are you doing with her?" Steve asked as he motioned to the girl that awkwardly sat next to him. "Did you forget you already have a date?"
Eddie snarled as he stood up. "You mean your date?" He scoffed.
Steve looked at him confused and slightly backed down. "My date? What are you talking about?"
"Do you guys think I'm blind? I've seen you two together. All the whispering and constantly inches away from each other. Well guess what, I don't care anymore. If she wants you then have her," Eddie spat. He roughly smacked his shoulder against Steve's as he went to walk away.
"She doesn't want me, Munson," Steve laughed. Eddie clenched his fist at the sound of his laughter.
"What's so funny?" Eddie growled as he turned around.
"If you weren't such a chicken and had the balls to ask her out, she would have been your girlfriend three months ago. But now?" Steve scoffed, "you're the last person she'd date."
Eddie felt his anger lessen slightly as he took in Steve's words. "What do you mean?"
Steve rolled his eyes, "I mean she's been trying to get you to ask her out. But she got tired of waiting and asked me to help her tell you how she feels."
Eddie began to sweat and he felt his stomach drop. He tried to see if Steve was pulling his leg.
"She actually likes me? She wasn't using me to make you jealous?" Eddie asked, the uneasiness clear in his voice.
"Is that what you were trying to do?" Steve asked. But it was clear he already knew. "Well it worked. Congratulations, asshole." This time, Steve knocked his shoulder against Eddie's and walked out. Steve had a feeling she would have run outside and looked for his car, knowing she wouldn't be leaving with Eddie anymore.
Eddie felt disappointed and disgusted in himself. All he had to do was talk to her and they could have been making out in the back of his van. Instead, she would be crying in Steve's arms because he broke her heart.
Steve was right, he found her sitting on the hood of his car with makeup stains down her cheeks.
"Not that it makes it better, but he did it out of jealousy," Steve sighed. She looked up at him confused and wiped her face.
"Jealous of what?" She scoffed. "Probably an excuse to stick his tongue down someone else's throat. Can you take me home?"
Steve nodded but first pulled her into a hug. "I'm sorry."
"It's fine. I tend to pick the bad ones. No offense," she mumbled into his chest. Steve softly chuckled. He pulled away and helped her get in the car.
"Wait!"
Steve and Y/N turned to see Eddie heading towards them. Even though she hated him right now, she panicked about how awful she looked. She didn't want him to know how upset she was but he was already in front of her. He had a kicked puppy look on his face and she was mad that it worked on her.
"Can I please take you home? I want to apologize and explain," Eddie begged. Y/N looked at Steve, almost like she didn't know what to do.
"Up to you." Steve said. He gave her a soft smile and she decided to face Eddie right away. She wasn't going to be able to sleep tonight if she left anyway. She nodded to Eddie and said goodbye to Steve.
Eddie so badly wanted to hold her hand as they walked to his car, but when he tried she hid her hands in her pockets. Eddie deflated but he knew he deserved it. "Look, I'm really fucking sorry."
"I bet you are," she said with no emotion in her voice. She yanked open his van door and got inside. Eddie quickly got in and started the van. He began to drive but kept glancing at her.
"It was a dumb thing to do and I know I'm an idiot. I don't even know who she is and it was a one time horrible mistake."
She sighed as she looked over at him, his sorry eyes were already looking at her. "Know her or not, you still kissed her. And for what? Why would you want to hurt me?"
"I was jealous," he admitted. She looked at him confused, and remembered that was what Steve told her. "I really like you and I let my guard down for you. I feel like every time I'm with you, it's a dream that I'll wake up from. I noticed you and Steve were getting close and I was worried there might be feelings still between you guys."
"You felt jealous about Steve and thought the best thing to do was punish me?" He hated how sad she looked. He couldn't stand himself. He hated himself before and somehow he hated himself more.
"I-I was hurt and I wanted to make myself feel better. I wanted to make you jealous because at that moment I didn't think you had real feelings for me."
"Yeah well I do and now I feel pathetic and hurt," she spat and looked out the window.
"But I didn't know!" He tried to defend. "If I knew-"
"I have given you no reason to doubt me. I mean, damnit Eddie! I've been hanging out with you for months and flirting with you. I had to hint that I wanted to kiss you. I had to make all the moves. If anyone had a reason to think the feelings weren't mutual, it was me. You kissed that girl without knowing who she was, yet you never tried with me." She let out a heavy sigh and was happy to see her house a few feet in front.
"Everything with you is different. Everything I feel with you is different. I've never been in love and I don't know what I'm doing."
Y/N felt her breath hitch in her throat and looked at him. He sighed sadly as he pulled in his driveway, unaware of the huge confession he let out. "You're what?"
"I don't know what I'm doing," he repeated and looked at her. "If there's anything I can do to show you how much I care about you and want to be with you, tell me and I'll do it, please."
"Are you in love with me?" She asked. She tried not to smile. She was terrified he didn't like her, and that wasn't the case at all. He loves her.
He looked panicked as she stared deeply at him. His heart pounded in his ears and he licked his dry lips. "Yes."
Her heart began to piece back together. He made a mistake and yeah it was a painful one. But she just wanted him at the end of the day and here he was.
"Are you going to trust me?" She asked
"Yes," he felt his heart speed up as it seemed he was going to get another chance.
"Are you going to kiss me?"
It took Eddie a second to process what she said. He snapped into action and pressed a passionate kiss to her lips. He shivered in pleasure as she kissed him back. He felt like he was floating and tried to pull her as close as possible.
He whined when she pulled away.
"I love you too, Eddie."
A giant smile appeared on his face and she couldn't help but smile back. "I won't hurt you again, I swear." He whispered. She closed the gap between them and lost herself in his kiss. He was damn sure not going to mess up again.
