ron jumped a little when he heard a loud scream. it had caught him off guard but the person that did that must be running for their life in that house. “sorry, by the way, i didn’t mean to startle you.” he kind of had that effect on people. ron always managed to sneak up on someone and scare them. not that he meant to do it. “i don’t know. i’m thinking about it. facing your fears and all…” biting his lower lip, he started to get nervous. he was twenty three and still kind of afraid of going into some haunted house eventhough kids that were about ten came out laughing. he should just man up and do it. but maybe not by himself. “care to join me?”
facing his fears wasn’t a thought that often came to eddies mind , in fact ... he wondered if it ever had . for all of his life , he’s been perfectly content to keep his back to and ignore them . maybe that was one of the problems in his future , in his relationships . ❝ it’s okay , you — you didn’t . ❞ eddie lied , if not to make ron feel better , than to make himself feel better .
with a worried sigh , his attention fell back to the house that emitted booming noises and spat out people that looked like they had a blast . he couldn’t contain the way his leg would bounce against the bench , a nervous habit . ❝ well , it could be dangerous ... ❞ he began , glancing back to ron . ❝ like like like , do you really think they got a safety inspection before all this shit ? and , even if they did , one missed rusty nail catches your shirt and then , and then ... ❞
he stopped himself , taking a pause to breath through an inhaler and think about his ramblings . landing on the idea that maybe pushing himself a little bit out of his comfort zone would do good for his late dilemmas , he slowly pushed himself off the bench and nodded to himself . ❝ fuck it . let’s go . ❞
