Sober {Eddie Munson}

Hell Yeah, Maggie

Warning: Eddie's dirty thoughts and suggestive material, references to masturbation.

It took Eddie a week to muster up any courage to actually even talk to Marguerite. During that week, he was plagued with thoughts of her sitting in his lap, pressing her soft lips to his. He thought about her cherry chapstick and how it tasted oh-so good when her kiss became more forceful. Eddie thought about how tempting her figure had looked and how soft she felt pressed against him. Eddie wanted to know what she felt like wrapped around him, her makeup all messy and her hair tangled as she lay in his bed.

God, Eddie was so whipped. He wanted her to stay with him in Hawkins forever. Be his little housewife he came home to after a long day. Eddie wanted to know every inch of Marguerite Hargrove.

"Max why the hell is my toothbrush in the toilet!" Marguerite screeched
"I might have accidentally knocked it down..." Max said not looking up from her food
"That's disgusting. And you didn't even think to pick it up?" Marguerite groaned
"I'm never reaching my hand into a toilet." Max replied
"Whatever. You owe me a new toothbrush then Maxine." Marguerite said

Max's face scrunched up at her full name and opened her mouth to reply just as a loud knocking came from their door.

"Marguerite can you come out here for a sec?" A voice yelled
"Who is that?" Max asked, secretly she hoped it was Eddie. Marguerite had been moping around the house since Eddie stopped talking to her last week. Max didn't really like Eddie but if it meant her sister would stop flopping on her bed and touching all of her things, then she was all for him.

Sadly, it wasn't Eddie Munson.

"Steve what're you doing here?" Marguerite asked opening the door
"What? I can't check up on my ex girlfriend?" Steve said as he entered the trailer
"Oh so you check on all your ex's now? Did you swing by Nancy's too?" Marguerite teased
"You know what I meant, shithead." Steve said "Anyway I really came over just to check in. See how things are with you... anything y'know super interesting happen lately?"
"Uh I guess Max made me a sandwich for lunch and I got a new top. I really like it it's red." Marguerite said summarizing the past few days.
"No, no Mags I meant something like life changing." Steve laughed
"Yeah the life changing news is how hot I'm gonna look in my new red shirt." Marguerite replied
"Oh my God. Look. Actually no I won't say anything, he clearly didn't ask." Steve said

He?

"Who didn't ask what?" Marguerite asked suddenly intrigued
"Ah nothing. No one. You know I need to go see Dustin." Steve said pointing to the door "I'll just let myself out, see ya Mags."
"You're not leaving until you tell me who needs to ask me something." Marguerite said rush to the door and placing her back against it
"I can just move you you know." Steve said
"Well if you do I'll tell Dustin about that time you farted in the pool but then it wasn't a fart and it turns out it was a shi-"

Steve quickly placed his hand over the girls mouth, he felt his face heat up at her words as the memory replayed.

"Do not ever tell the midget that." Steve threatened.
"Ok ok then you have to tell me what's going on." Marguerite laughed
"Eddie Munson has some plan you ask you out." Steve dropped the bomb

What. The. Fuck.

°°°
Eddie felt guilty for just dropping contact with Marguerite. He missed her presence around him but he was just too damn scared of her rejecting him. Sure, Steve had said she wouldn't but was Steve Harrington really the best person to get advice off of? Probably not.
Instead of spending time with his dream girl, Eddie spent his time running scenarios of asking Marguerite out through his head. Eddie had also been spending some quality time on his matress with his lotion bottle and box of tissues. He genuinely couldn't help it, the images of Marguerite half undressed were seriously burned in his head forever.
Then, just as he was opening his D&D books, ready to plan another campaign, a loud knock sounded.

"Eddie? It's Steve...are you there man?"

Eddie never expected to have Steve Harrington in his home, least of all in his bedroom.

"Dude seriously? You could at least try to hide them." Steve said

Eddie looked to where he was pointing and saw a box of condoms on his nightstand.

"Uh...at least you know I won't get Maggie knocked up." Eddie laughed nervously
"Can't get anyone knocked up if you don't even ask them out." Steve pointed out
"How the hell do you know I haven't asked?!" Eddie asked
"I was just at Mags. The highlight of her week is some new shirt and a sandwich Max made for her." Steve said
"You didn't tell her I want to ask her out right?" Eddie asked
"No I'm not about to break bro code, man." Steve said
"No? Then why are you here?" Eddie asked
"I'm here to help you get your ass out the door and over to her so you can ask her out." Steve said
"Maybe I shouldn't do it. I mean we have a good friendship." Eddie said suddenly
"I'm literally trying to save you from your quality time with that lotion bottle and you're rejecting me?" Steve said

Eddie's eyes fell to where his lotion lay on his nightstand. He swore he could see the letters of the logo being burned into his head, as if they were screaming 'Eddie stop rubbing one out each night and go get the girl!'

"Shut up about my lotion." Eddie grumbled

After a few more minutes of convincing Eddie was being pushed towards his front door by Steve.

"Look if you don't ask her out you'll regret it when summer comes and she's out with some other shmuck." Steve reasoned
"Yeah but I can still be her friend at least while she's with the shmuck." Eddie reasoned
"Stop making excuses!" Steve exclaimed

Steve opened the door and was just about ready to throw Eddie out over the porch and onto the grass but a voice stopped him.

"Hey, Munson."
" Hey." Eddie nervously laughed

Steve moved from behind Eddie's body to see Marguerite standing at the door, ready to knock.

"What are you doing here?" Eddie asked
"I just wanted to ask you something..."Marguerite said
"Oh cool...I have something to ask too but you can go first." Eddie said
"Dude!" Steve smacked the back of Eddie's head
"Steve, don't be mean!" Marguerite scolded

Steve rose his hands in surrender and stepped away from the metalhead.

"Eddie you can ask first, this is your porch after all." Marguerite smiled

Eddie loved her smile. It was so bright, it lit up anywhere she went.

"Yeah I was just wondering if you uh...have that tubberware I have you the soup in." Eddie laughed

God he wanted to pay Steve to take his van and run him over with it.

"Oh yeah it's in my cabinet." Marguerite sighed slightly disappointed Eddie hadn't said what she wanted

"Okay...my turn I guess." Marguerite smiled
"Yeah, your turn." Eddie said
"You wanna go out with me?"

Jesus H. Christ.

"Hell yeah, Maggie."
