A Very Merry Christmas | Eddie Munson x gn! Reader ft. Uncle Wayne
This is seriously something I am so proud of and I truly wrote it with so much love. I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful Holiday time. ❤️
“Um a little more to the left.”
“Like this?” Eddie asked, tilting the star a little like you said.
“That’s too far.” You said, causing Eddie to turn his head, giving you an ‘are you kidding me?’ look.
“I think it looks great.” Uncle Wayne remarked stepping into the living area holding his mug full of hot chocolate.
“Thank you.” Eddie smirked, finally having accomplished decorating the tree with you.
The Munson’s never had a big tree up during the holidays but you managed to find the perfect one to fit in the corner of the trailer. Wayne hadn’t decorated for Christmas in years since Eddie became older. It was nice to have some cheer added to the humble home. He could see you were the one to bring the most joy to Eddie and him.
You brought content to Eddie’s life in this small town and boy was Wayne happy about that. Of course Eddie still would rant on about Hawkins and the population of sheep as he would say. When you came along though something changed in Eddie. You grounded him but also gave him hope for your future together. Living in Hawkins sucks but you have each other and that’s enough.
“Alright kids, I'm off to work.” Uncle Wayne waved to you both and opened the door to the cold winter night.
“We’ll save you some cookies!” You called out to him.
“If you’re lucky!” Eddie added, making you smack his arm.
“I’m feeling very lucky tonight.” He replied before closing the door.
Eddie and you broke into laughter as the Christmas music played through the radio on the countertop in the kitchen. It wasn’t either of yours favorite but hell it was Christmas time.
“Oh you know what time it is?” Eddie questioned looking down at his watch.
“What is it?”
With one swoop you were slung across Eddie’s shoulder with a scream leaving your mouth,”Cookie Time!!”.
The giggles coming from you melted his heart like a snowman in the sun. He carried you into the quaint kitchen then set you down.
“You’re crazy.” You said smiling up at the doe eyed boy.
“Me? No way, that’s you.” He replied in dramatic fashion making you laugh again.
“Only crazy in love with you.” You kissed his lips.
Eddie shook his head at your antics,”That was way too cheesy.”
You only shrugged at him and off to cookie making you went. The next hour was spent destroying the once somewhat clean kitchen and by the time the cookies were in the oven both of you were just as messy.
“I’ll go get some clothes to change into.” Eddie said, starting to walk to his room.
“Wait, I have a surprise!”
“What could it be this time? You know what, I bet it’s clothes.” He replied following you to a bag you had arrived with earlier.
“Very funny.” With a roll of your eyes you stuck your tongue out. Eddie snuck a kiss in when you weren’t expecting it. Smiles spread across your faces. Sure you’d been together for awhile but just as smitten as ever.
Out of the bag you showed three matching sets of flannel red plaid pajamas. Eddie grabbed one looking down at it and smiled,”One for Uncle Wayne too?”.
“One for Uncle Wayne too.” You smiled.
After getting cozy in your new jammies the cookies were out of the oven. You already set a plate of them aside for Wayne when he got home and set his pajamas down on the couch. With the radio still going ‘Happy Xmas (War is Over)’ began to play.
“A dance m’lady?” Eddie held his arm out bowing while your mouth was still full of cookies.
There you both were in your own world dancing in the kitchen light. The smell of cookies and holiday candles in the air as the snow drifted from the sky outside. And so began the many years of Christmas’ shared together. Each one filled with more love than the last.
eddie would 100% take those funny christmas card photos with you and even if he wasn’t excited in the beginning he’d get a kick out of all the odd photos you had gotten together. They’re something he’ll cherish forever and would become a tradition.
bonus : he’d be giddy about giving one to uncle wayne who would find it sweet that he could display photos of his happier than ever nephew and you.
I probably won’t have a post for tomorrow since I’ll be celebrating plus work. Here’s a little Halloween blurb for ya! I’m watching spooky movies today and watched Beetlejuice while writing this getting in the spirit. I hope you all have a fun and safe Halloween! One last thing… BOO 👻
“Darlingggg,” Eddie whined as you pulled apart from him in bed.
“Eds you know we have a lot to do before the party tonight. We gotta start baking since you talked me into smoking myself senseless last night.”
“Five more minutes.” he pleaded grabbing onto your arm.
You gave him a knowing look and he tried to give the best puppy eyes he could muster,” You said that five minutes ago.”
“Fine! Only because I love you so much,” he says leaning up to give you a kiss before making your way to the kitchen to start prepping for all the treats you were supposed to make.
It takes a good 10 minutes before Eddie makes an appearance by startling you with a back hug.
“Sorry.” Eddie laughs lightly into your ear.
“Sure you are pretty boy.” you turn sticking your tongue out at him,” Now help me start this cake.”
“As you wish sweetheart.” with a sweet kiss on your cheek the fun and more so mess begins.
To say that baking this cake was well a piece of cake is so far from the truth. It immediately started with frantic searching through the fridge for eggs.
“I thought you had eggs!” you exclaimed.
“Honey even I failed sex ed and I know I don’t have any eggs. Ow!”
“There are more smacks where that came from now find the eggs,” you replied to his smart-ass antics.
“You know a please would be nice.”
You lightly rolled your eyes before kissing him on the lips getting him off guard.
“That works too.” Eddie stood in front of the fridge stuck on the thought of your kiss before getting back to his job of finding eggs.
Luckily he had just the amount needed and things seemed to be going well. The oven was preheated and everything was mixed now it was time to pour it into the pumpkin cake pan you’d found thinking it’d be fun to use. About a fourth of it had been poured when you stopped Eddie.
“Wait! I didn’t spray the pan yet!” now it was his turn to look at you in annoyance.
After fixing your little accident and the timer on the oven was set it was time to relax. Eddie decided to play his guitar for the moment and your plan was to watch some spooky movies. Little did you realize that in a couple of minutes you’d completely daze off only to be woken up by Eddie.
“Boop.” you hear as you feel a finger on your nose and open your eyes to see Eddie’s sweet smile,” Thought today was gonna be all about being productive.”
“Yeah, well I’m tired. Come here.” you reached up towards him and his next action was laying completely on top of you,” This isn’t what I meant!”
Eddie laughs at you struggling to try and manage a somewhat comfortable position as a knock comes from the trailer door.
“Hellooo.” Robin sings entering the trailer followed by Steve,” Oh.”
“What? Oh.” Steve says looking at the tangled-up situation on the couch.
“I was taking a nap!” you blurt out trying to get their minds out of the gutter.
“And I was begged to be on top.” Eddie smirked earning a smack from you.
“Okay, whatever ew,” Robin replied looking away from the couch.
“Seriously, why can’t I get into situations like that?” Steve sighed following Robin into the kitchen going on about his love life woes.
All you could muster up is an ‘are you kidding me’ look at Eddie until a smell hits you.
Can I have HCs of Eddie with a S/O who loves to cook and bake? It's their love language. S/O noticed that Eddie didn't eat lunch, only a bag of nuts and made him lunch the next day. Lunches became cooking dinner for him and his Uncle Wayne; when they stay over, breakfast. Eddie has his plate of bake goods, because he doesn't want to share with Hellfire, they have a plate of their own. Oh, maybe s/o is a kitchen witch with their own herbal garden
i must admit i am eddie with only eating a bag of nuts for lunch 🤦🏼♀️ oddly enough i am baking a lot today so i will have a lot of inspiration for this and cooking and old irish stew recipe for samhain so perfect timing for this one! and of course i’ll throw in some witchy bits 😉
You're a witch! That's so cool! I watch a lot of witchy youtubers with a desire to try, but I'm too lazy...so, anyway, can I have HCs of Eddie with a witch/so! Like did find out or did s/o tell him? It is the time of the satanic panic, so I imagine reader being in the broom closet to the extreme.
thank u! i’ve been a practicing witch for a few years now 😌 and this is an awesome request cause i was already planning on it! Great minds think alike lol thank u for the request! <3
Celebrating Halloween/Samhain w/ Eddie (gn! reader)
(yes i had to use this photo)
Obviously, I have to post something special for spooky season. I am a Halloween whore after all as well as a witch hence the inclusion of things having to do with that. You don’t have to be a witch to read this though! I can’t add every detail about the witchy stuff mentioned in this headcanon but if you do have any questions let me know! I may be writing more Halloween stuff to post if I have time but thank you for reading!
• Eddie enjoyed the fall but he wasn’t prepared for just how much you loved it
• Knowing you were a witch he figured you’d love Halloween however he didn’t know everything that came along with it
• Seeing how much you were into celebrating the holiday made his heart flutter though
• He loved hearing you talk about your traditions and all things you had planned
• Your face brightened up every time he’d ask you questions and show interest too
• That was one of the greatest things about your relationship
• You both cared about each other's interests even if you weren’t into them
• Eddie actually did take quite an interest in the history of the holiday having no idea that certain things were from witches
• He then concluded that it was bullshit how people dismissed the original meaning of the holiday and where it came from
• More forced conformity he said
• Giving him the rundown on things took a while and I mean a while because there is so much to learn that even you don’t know everything
• He took a liking to many things you introduced him to
• Tales of faeries and goblins reminded him of d&d immediately peaking his interest
• You were wary about even telling him about Mischief Night because every night with him seemed like Mischief Night
• Still, you should’ve known that telling him these things would lead to him playing silly pranks on you the day before Halloween
• You would both go on apple-picking dates as well after talking to him about all the traditions having to do with apples
• Eddie wanted to do all of them if possible and you had to remind him to slow down on the antics cause there was only so much time you had to teach him about everything
• He was always like ‘Hell yeah let's do it’
• Not a bad characteristic of his but even you can get tired with the festivities
• You and he did the simpler traditions like apple peeling and divination traditions with the seeds
• While peeling the apples together to see the supposed first name of your future spouse when you’d toss it over your shoulder he was dead set on it being your initial
• “If this doesn’t say you I’m doing it again.”
• “Eddie that’s your third apple already.”
• Trust me apple peels were all over the place and Wayne would find remnants of apples when he came home from work
• Of course, since it’s spooky season you’d also just spend time having horror movie marathons
• By the end of watching all the movies, you’d both feel like movie critics deciding which ones were actually scary and had the best effects
• Baking and cooking together became a regular and Eddie didn’t realize how much fun he could have making stuff with you
• Getting delicious food was a bonus for him
• Even Wayne thought that you should both keep it up cause he was enjoying the leftovers just as much as you two
• When it came to all the fun crafts Eddie was well prepared and insisted that you get ‘the best pumpkins in the land’
• His pumpkin came out scary to no surprise and made its guts come out of its mouth
• What more did you expect from him?
• When it came to costumes he had all these ideas and brainstormed for weeks
• He wanted to help you make them once you decided on who you would both be dressing as
• Eddie has a creative eye and always had mainly good ideas for what to add unless he was joking around as he does occasionally
• Decorating together was a highlight of the holiday as you both combined your own touches to the spookiness
• Eddie was quite the crafty man when it comes down to it and was always down for whatever ideas popped into your head
• Needless to say, Halloweens with Eddie are forever to be remembered and each year is as special as the last and you’d go on to make your own traditions together
I know I write a lot of fluffy stuff but god I need to in order to survive I swear. Thank you for all the love on the last post! I really appreciate it you’re all so lovely. <3
Stargazing with Eddie. Your favorite way to spend the cool fall nights. Both of you wrapped up in blankets trying to make sense of the stars spread across the sky. Tonight was a special night though. Six months of being with Eddie. Officially that is because that boy had fallen for you the moment he saw you. It’s hard to believe that most of the time but the pure adoration in Eddie’s eyes says it all.
Anyone could see just how in love the two of you are. As much as you didn’t want to be so attached there was no stopping the bond you have with Eddie. He’s your safe space and the love of your life. With just six months together it’s hard to picture a future without each other already.
“Whatcha thinkin’ about sweetheart?”, Eddie asked quietly while rubbing circles on the back of your hand he had been holding on to.
“Hm, I don’t know. Just us.”
“And what about us?”, he props himself up on his elbow looking down at you now. Despite the beautiful galaxy in the sky, your eyes were only on him.
“How much I love you and our future,” you replied shyly gazing up into his beautiful dark eyes.
A wide grin spread across Eddie’s face,” Is that so? May I hear of this future we’re talking about?”
“Well, there’s not really any specifics. I just know I want to spend it with you.”
Eddie’s heart melts at your sweet words that flowed out so effortlessly. Truthfully he wanted the same. He’d never had much stability in his life but when you came into the picture and his heart something changed. For once he felt constant love and excitement to see you. You cared about everything about him.
Growing up there was no good healthy relationship for him to look up to so he really didn’t want to mess this up. For a while, he had a cynical view of relationships and love never believing that there was someone out there that’d love him for him.
“Eddie,”
“Huh?”
You let out a laugh at his confusion,” You were spacing off. What are you thinking about loverboy?”
Eddie lays back down looking back towards the sky before taking a deep breath,” I never believed in soulmates until I met you.”
Now it was your turn to sit up and look at him,” Really?”
“Really Really,”
There was no stopping the smile growing on your face as you moved to get on top of him,” I’m in love with you forever Eddie Munson,” A soft kiss sealed your confession ending with you wrapped around Eddie. His arms came to wrap around you too as he placed kisses on top of your head.
“I hate to tell you this but I’m eternally in love with you Y/N Y/L/N.”
You squeeze him in your arms to show your affection back and the sounds of your surroundings fill the air. This is the most content and happy Eddie has ever been in his life. All that is thanks to you just being you.
The cool breeze flows past both of you and Eddie feels you trying to move closer to him if that’s even possible. The stars still shine brightly and this time Eddie’s lost in his thoughts of how he got so lucky to have you in his life. Your breathing starts to slow and he can tell it’s about time to call it a night. Before he makes any move he silently thanks the stars and universe above for giving him you.
Eddie starts to sit upright as you protest,” Hey I’m comfortable Eds.”
“I know baby but we gotta get you to bed,” he speaks softly holding you in his lap.
You open your eyes to meet his,” Can we get ice cream?”
A laugh leaves Eddie’s mouth at your adorable antics,” Of course. Anything for my soulmate.”
Holy shit I’m posting?! Shocking. Work has been very stressful lately and my mental state has not been so great but here I am! Pure fluff this one is. It’s short but it’s a start from how out of wack I’ve been. <3
The fall air had finally picked up as the wind blew whirling around Eddie’s mop of curls causing him to curse while running to his van. Picking up after Hellfire ran later than usual today and you had decided not to go tonight because you were dead tired. The only thing on Eddie’s mind the past hours was the thought of cuddling up with you in bed and shutting out the rest of the world.
Inserting the keys into the van kicked on his radio he forgot to turn down earlier that day despite you reminding him. Once again he cursed at himself while a little shiver came over him from the chilly weather. Eddie pulled out of the school parking lot as quickly as he could setting off to the trailer hoping you were still awake when he got there.
The drive passes fast probably because he was definitely driving over the speed limit. While arriving at the trailer park he remembers to turn the volume down and grabs your jacket you left in the van earlier that day. He feels like he couldn’t make it into the trailer soon enough even though you had been together at school. Eddie can’t help but adore you and all the time you spend together.
“Honey, I’m home!” Eddie called out throwing his keys on the table while making his way to his room. Once he opened the door a sweet smile spread across his face,” Is that a blanket burrito I see?”
You look over at the doorway with just your eyes as your whole body was wrapped in blankets,” Uh yeah. It’s cold.”
The expression on your face and the stillness of your body caused you both to erupt in laughter. Eddie felt like the weight of all the bullshit in the world lifted off his shoulders. You had that effect on him that made him feel comfortable and safe. You love the Eddie the world sees but you love your Eddie behind closed doors more.
“Well fear not my darling because I can provide all the cuddles a beautiful soul as you could need.” Eddie theatrically said leaning down over the bed.
“Please, sir.”
He smiled placing a kiss on your forehead before getting out of his clothes. After laying his rings on his desk he looked at you from the mirror about to start cracking up again.
“Heeeey, what’s so funny?” you asked leaning your head up a little to make eye contact with him.
Eddie turned to join you in the bed getting under the sheets,” You look like a potato.”
Just like that, your arm sprang free from the burrito smacking him on the arm,” Hey! That’s not nice!”
