Always and Forever (YN x Eddie Munson - Stranger Things S4)

Chapter Ten

Shit 

Here you were, Stradling Eddie Munson in his trailer. 

And, now might be a good time to mention that you're still wearing his clothes. 

His hands rested on your upper thigh from when he was holding you up. You were so red it was a miracle that you hadn't spontaneously combusted. He was also incredibly red, for a second his grip on you tightened. 

The way he looked at you in this moment was different to say least. There was something behind his eyes that made you curious. 

After a long, awkward silence you cleared your throat "Sorry." 

"Why?" He asked

"I'm leaning on your hair." 

He turned his head to the left to see your hand beside his head, pinning down a section of his long curly hair. 

He then took one hand off your legs and took your wrist in his palm, resting it on his chest. He moved his hair out of the way and then took your hand again, placing it in its previous spot. But, he laced his fingers in with your own on the side of his head

"There, fixed." In a bare whisper.

You allowed your eyes to drift to your interlocked hands, then, to his lips. You only looked for a second but almost immediately Eddie licks his lips. 

As if on command you lean down closer to his face and he leans into yours. 

And, just as something happens, there's a banging at the door. 

"Hey, Eddie! Whose in there with you?" Some girl yells through the closed door "You'd better be nice to her, Freak! She looks too good for you!" Her words are mean but her tone is joking and slightly sarcastic.

Eddies head falls back onto the couch and he groans, yelling back "Hey, Max." 

For a split second, you start to panic. Did he have a girlfriend he didn't tell you about? A sister or cousin he lives with? Christ, you were naked in his living room earlier! Did someone see and call up a family friend of yours?

Just as you're in the middle of your spiral, a young girl with bright red hair and blue eyes enters the trailer. She was 16 at most, just a freshman. You think that you've seen her around the school to and from the counselor's room. 

"Jeeze, sorry, didn't know I was interrupting something." She looks between the two of you, mostly unfazed.

You've never moved so fast in your entire life as you did getting off of his lap. As you scrambled off him and his couch, Eddie says "You're not interrupting anything, ass." He waves toward the shopping bags "We're doing make-overs." 

After some shooing and light innuendos, he gets the girl out of the trailer and plops next to you on the couch, where you'd been waiting. 

"Sorry about that, princess." He runs a hand through his hair "Nosey brat." and lets out a singular breathy chuckle. 

"No, it's ok." You say, knowing that you don't feel that ok about it. Putting yourself in her shoes, it did look like the two of you were right about to have sex.

"Were we?" You think to yourself.

You shake the thought from your head. No, you weren't. But at the very least you were about to kiss. And that's not nothing.

After a minute or two of silence, Eddie speaks "So, piercings now?" 

You nod. You were extremely nervous about the piercings, these felt a lot more permanent than the hair dye, Hell, the hair dye bottle even said semi-permanent. It was reversible, this wasn't really, you'd always have vague holes in your ears and face.
