steve groans as he feels the glass getting painfully closer to cutting him.

"he's cool. he's cool." dustin pleads

"i'm cool, man. i'm cool."

"what are you doing here?" eddie questions

"we're looking for you." dustin says

"we're here to help." robin says, which makes eddie quickly turn to look at her

"eddie, these are my friends. you know robin from band." Dustin says pointing to robin, and she imitates playing her trumpet.

"this is my friend max. the one who never wants to play D&D."

"and my friend y/n." you notice eddie's eyes look down at the mention of your name.

"eddie." dustin pleads again, "we're on your side. I swear on my mother."

"right guys?"

"yes. yes. we swear." you all agree

"on dustins mother." you adds

"yeah, dustins ... dustins mother." steve says his voice strained, he finally lets go of steve making him grunt

"jesus ch.." robin starts

you rush over to steve, as he slowly falls against the wall and situates himself on the ground

"are you okay?" i ask frantically to which he waves his hand in dismissal

"handled worse." he groans, you place your hand on his shoulder as he's hunched over, his hand caressing his neck

"eddie. we just want to talk." you hear dustin say

you kiss steve on the side of the head as he's still trying to register what just happened his hand pushing through his hair as a sigh leaves his lips, he lightly places two fingers on your arm stroking them and brings your hand up to his lips giving it a quick chaste kiss

robin squats down next to dustin in front of eddie, "we wanna know what happened."

"you won't believe me."

"try us." max challenges

eddie started to explain what had happened to chrissy and the gruesomeness of what he witness, "it was like there was something inside of her head.."

Dustin then starts to explain the upside down to eddie, it could all be connected so we had to tell him

"it was like she was under a spell, a trance or something... a curse."

"vecnas curse." dustin says, liking this back to D&D

"whose vecna?" steve asks

"an undead creature of great power." dustin explains

after explaining the upside down to eddie and linking it to what he saw with chrissy there was a pause no one knew what to do next or say

the group split off into different conversation and before you could walk over to steve and robin you heard foot steps shuffle behind you and a small, 'y/n' exhaled from eddie you turned around to face him, you hadn't seen or talked to him in what felt like forever, he may go to the same school as you but it didn't feel like the eddie you know, not like it did right now - this was the real eddie, vulnerable and scared

eddie felt tense when he saw your face, you had the same look on your face the day he lost you - sorrow, shock, devastation - however he could see the hint of gleam behind your eyes as you stood in front of him, a sense of relief washed over your features as you realised he was safe

the questions dustin throw at him where blurred as all he saw and heard was you. The rise and fall of his chest now synchronised with yours.

He was quickly pushed out of his trance, when he remembered the terms in which the two of you departed, tension now evident between the two of you however, the feeling of your warm arms wrapping around him pushed any and all thoughts out of his mind, your arms felt the same as they once did. The embrace so nostalgic eddie's mind went fuzzy. The feeling of comfort pushed out any tension he believed there was as he held you, just like he once had.

though, this feeling was quickly replaced by the overwhelming sense of someones eyes burning straight through eddie, which made his body stiffen against you and pull back away from you. The one responsible for the new atmosphere of jealousy in the shed was steve, his arm crossed against his chest and his tongue poking against skin under his lip

eddie couldn't hear the numerous questions you were throwing his way as he was concentrated on the stare steve harrington was giving him, he gulped quickly, dismissing your questions with a quick, 'im fine.", "mhh", or a, "yeah..yeah."

eddie felt a stinging sensation against his cheek, to which his hand instantly flew up to hold it, 'ouch' he muttered

"y/n?! what was that for!" you heard dustin shout

"that's for threatening my boyfriend with a broken beer bottle." you say

eddie quickly diverting to Dustins rambling, and from the corner of his eyes he noticed a small smirk on steve's face and he smoothly placed his arm around the small of your back and connecting your hips. the words, my boyfriend, were now the worst words he'd heard. Eddie noticed steve lean forwards and whisper something to you, what broke his heart was the smile plastered on your face - eddie could have never made you smile like that, steve then planting a kiss against your cheek. he sighed knowing steve harrington had won your heart and there was no way he could change that. even tho he wished he could
