Anyone But Him: Eddie Munson

Steve didn't understand how someone like you his baby sister could fall for someone like Eddie "The Freak" Munson, sure he didn't hate Eddie but they were exactly besties either. So imagine his surprise the first time he saw Eddie flirting with you at school, he walked up to you guys immediately and stepped between you two, saying no to Eddie as he pulled you away protesting but little did he know that you had a crush on Eddie. 

"Anyone but him." Steve said to you the night at the video store while you and Robin rolled your eyes at his lecture. 

"Why? What's wrong with him Steve?" Robin asked because as far as she was concerned Eddie was a huge improvement from some of the people you had dated in the past. 

"Have you not heard the rumors about him?" He asked her as you shook your head at him. 

"That's what they are, rumors Steve! How many times have you been the subject of a rumor, hmm?" You asked him instantly shutting him up. 

The flirting between you and Eddie went on week after week at school or the video store much to Steve's dismay while Robin thought it was cute how he always would come into the store just to talk to you or spend time with you while you worked. 

"So do you like have a crush on him?" Robin asked while you two stocked the store. 

"I have for a while." You said with the biggest smile on your face as Robin awwed at you, thinking you and Eddie would make the cutest couple. 

"You know if Steve finds out, he's gonna lose his shit and put you under house arrest." Robin said.

"I know that's why I waited so long to tell you. So please don't tell him." You pleaded with her as she nodded her head at you.

A few days later at school, you were at your locker grabbing your textbooks and reading the latest letter Eddie wrote you when you felt a tap on your shoulder making you turn and see Eddie standing there with a smile on his face. 

"Hi Eddie." You said wrapping your arms around him. 

"Hi sweetheart, did you like your letter today?" He asked noticing it was still in your hands. 

"I always do, who knew Eddie Munson was such a good writer." You teased him.

"Only for you, but I was wondering if maybe you would like to go out this weekend on like an official first date?" He asked you. 

"I would love to Eddie." You said pressing a kiss to his cheek watching how his smile grew. 

"Really? But what about your brother?" He asked you. 

"Yes really. And you let me deal with Steve." You said smiling at him as Steve stood at his locker trying to figure out what Eddie said to you to make you so happy. 

The weekend came and Eddie had called you last night saying he would pick you up Saturday night around seven. Steve had spent all day figuring out why you were so happy but then overheard you on the phone with Robin talking about it, so he sat on the couch waiting for Eddie to show up.

"Are you serious?" You asked him as finished grabbing everything you needed as he nodded his head. 

"Steve I really like him and he makes me really happy. I don't know why you are so against it." You said sighing as you took a seat. 

"I'm not against it, I just worry because you are my baby sister, and I don't want you to get hurt is all I'm trying to prevent." He said. 

"But that's the thing, Steve...he would never hurt me not once since we started talking and hanging out has he pressured me to do something I didn't want to do...he respects me and cares for me I wouldn't have agreed to go out with him if he didn't." You said making Steve realize that maybe he had been a little too protective of you. 

A few minutes later a knock came to the door, and Steve stood up and answered it making Eddie more nervous than he already was. Steve took a look at him and you before sighing not believing he was allowing this. 

"If you so much as hurt a single hair on you, I will kill you myself. Understood?" He said as Eddie nodded his head. 

"I would never but understood." He said Steve moved out of the way so you could leave. 

"Go have fun. And you have her back by midnight." Steve said to the both of you as you hugged him. 

"You're the best brother! Love you! Bye!" You said as Eddie lead you to the van while Steve stood there shaking his head.
