Pairing: Eddie Munson x Reader
Warnings: Fluff out the wazoo
“Alright, alright...Henderson, I humbly concede to you, righteous warrior.”
“You bet you do,” Dustin laughed, then ran off from where he and Eddie had just been wrestling, to where his friends were on the other side of the field.
That day, everyone was on a picnic. Robin and Steve were playing with the kids. And Nancy and Jonathan and Joyce and Hopper had picked their own respective spots in the field. There was really only one thing setting you and Eddie apart from the other two couples, and that was that you weren’t a couple at all. Not yet.
“You know, you’re really good with Dustin. You’re really good with all the kids,” you commented as you watched Max jump on Lucas’ back.
Eddie scoffed. “Come on, you know Stevie’s got me beat in that department.”
“That may be true,” you smiled, “What I’m trying to say is you’re...a really amazing person, Eddie--and not just with the kids--in general. You’re brave and kind and smart and funny and--”
“W-what’re you trying to say?” Eddie seemed just as nervous as you were.
You looked down to the hand he was keeping his eight on. You gingerly placed your hand on his. “I was wondering if you’d like to get together--be together...with me.” You risked a glance up at Eddie, and found him staring, wide-eyed, at you.
“If I...misread anything--” You got scared from his lack of response, and started to move your hand away.
However, Eddie caught it and brought the back of it to his lips. “Your majesty Y/n, it would be my honor to court you...my love...” Blush painted his cheeks. He was wearing his heart on his sleeve just as much as you were.
Biting your lip, you tried to hide that your excitement and happiness was growing with every second.
Contradicting the confidence of his previous words, Eddie timidly asked, “C-can I kiss you?”
Your actions mirrored his as you were just barely able to whisper your answer. “Yeah.”
Eddie pulled you close by your still connected hands, then placed that hand of yours on his shoulder. He used his newly free hand to cup your cheek. When your lips touched, tingles ran through your entire body.
Vaguely, you heard congratulatory woops and hollers from your nearby friends, but that all took the backseat when you felt Eddie’s thumb caressing your cheek.
