Us... (Eddie x M! Character)

The Monster and the Superhero

It is the next morning and I hear a knock at the door. Eddie goes into panic mode and hides in the vent behind my bed frame. I get up and open the door realizing that it's just Steve, Robin, Max and Dustin. "Eddie! You can come out it's just delivery service!" I yell out to Eddie while letting them inside and locking the door behind me. Everyone settles in and Eddie takes no time and starts eating. (He didn't really eat before because I had no food :|) "So we have some good news and bad news. How would you prefer it?" Dustin informs Eddie. "Bad news first, always." Eddie answers. I come back from the kitchen and give everyone some beers except for Max and Dustin. "Bad news. We tapped into the Hawkins PD dispatch with our Cerebro, and they're definitely looking for you. Also, they're, uh, pretty convinced you killed Chrissy." Dustin informs him while pointing at Eddie in the last sentence. "Like, 100% kind of convinced." Max tells him. "Okay so what's the good news?" I ask. "His name hasn't gone public yet. But if we found out about him it's a matter of time before others do too. And once that gets out, everyone and their shallow-minded mother is gunna be gunning for Eddie." Robin tells me. "Hunt the freak, right?" Eddie says. I sit down next to him rubbing his back trying to be supportive as best as I could. "Exactly." Robin answers. "Shit." Eddie tells himself. "So before that happens we find Vecna kill him and then prove your innocence." Dustin states. "That's all Dustin? That's all?" Eddie asks. "Yeah, no that's pretty much it." Dustin answers. "Listen Eddie, I know everything Dustin is saying sounds totally delusional, but we've actually been through this kind of thing before. I mean they have... a few times.. and... I have once. But-" Robin try's and explain but I feel the need to cut her off. "Look even if this all works out and we kill Vecna... how the hell are we gunna prove his innocence? 'Hey police I'm sorry that Chrissy died but it wasn't Eddie it was a monster from their D&D club.' I mean how is any of this going to be okay? In even the slightest fucking way? Even if you do prove his innocence Eddie will be hunted down by every single person in this shitty town. For as long as he stays here." I state in anger, loud and out of breath. Everyone is silent for a moment that is until we hear police siren. Eddie runs to my room without a second thought. We look and see that they go right by. Once everything calms down everyone gets back into the spots they were before. The room is filled with silence for just a few minutes but it felt like fucking forever. "Then just leave." Steve tells us with a small amount of enthusiasm in his voice. "Ha... wait you're being deadass?" I ask once I notice he is being serious about his idea. "I know how it sounds but... you and Eddie have been together for what 2 years and you have been saying for the longest time that you want to move out of this shitty town anyway." He states. I think for a moment and realize it isn't that bad of an idea. Then I also realize that Robin and Steve won't stop telling me about the idea because I haven't said no or yes. "Go find Nancy guys we'll talk about what we are going to do after all this shit is over with." I tell them with annoyance in my voice and I got up and practically shoved them out the door. "Radio us if-" Dustin was about to finish but Eddie finished for him. "If anything happens we got it. Bye Henderson." Eddie finishes from the safety of my couch. I close the door and sit down across from Eddie with only the coffee table between us. "You didn't say no." Eddie breaks the silence that was there for a moment. I knew exactly what he was talking about. "It uh... not the worst idea that has came from the guy." I answer. He thinks for a moment and I know what he's thinking 'What the fuck am I going to do when he leaves?' "You should come with. I mean it will save you all the drama from everyone in this town." I say while breathing into my can of beer. "You asking me to run away with you, L/N?" He asks in a playful tone. Almost laughing. I pause not knowing what to say because I was asking him that and, he thought I wasn't being serious. "Wait.. you're serious?" He asks knowing what my pause was about. "I mean we're both over the age of 18 so we could move anywhere we wanted." I state. He just looks at me not knowing what to say. "I mean... why the hell not? But let me ask you this. What would that make us?" Eddie points out. "What do you mean? We have been going out for 2 years and we already have had this conversation. So why the sudden need to talk about it again?" I state. "L/N we're dating right? What would that make us if we moved out of this shitty town together? We need to have..." He pauses not knowing how I would take the next sentence. "We need to have the 'married and kids' talk." He finishes. "Oh. Okay well for starters I don't mind getting married and I always wanted a kid anyway." I answer. The silence gets loud I know what he wants but I'm stupid enough to say what I want and not care what he does. "No marriage I know that... but I wouldn't mind a kid." He tells me. This surprises me mainly because for the longest time that I have known Eddie he has never seemed to want to have a kid. I always assumed the 'kid' thing would just slow him down in what he wanted in life. "Really? I always just assumed that you thought a kid was going to slow you down." I inform him of my thoughts. "Well of course a kid would slow me down. That wouldn't matter because I want my kid to know that he has a dad that actually cares what happens to him. Yeah it would be nice to do something fun and reckless but I wouldn't mind- I wanna give something that I know both of us didn't have." He answers. I just stare at him not in like a weird way. In way that I have never done before. This was Eddie Munson the guy that would do anything to give something to a kid that he never had. A good dad. "What the hell are you looking at?" He points out and gets me out of my fucking 'daze'. "Well what about our friends? I mean we can't just leave them. What if something like this happens again and we're not there?" I state in concern. "I know but it's us. Before anything we agreed to that. If you wanna stay I'm all for it. If anything they would just call us." Eddie consoles me. "Yeah. Yeah I guess your right. I always thought that- that at some point nobody would need me anymore." I tell him. "And where exactly is this coming from?" He asks in concern. "I don't know it's just for the last 2 years everyone has needed me. That made me feel like I had a purpose." I confess. "Would it help if I needed you?" He says while getting up and sitting next to me. "I guess." I finish. He gets up and walks over to my bedroom. "Okay this is how you want to end the conversation huh?" I tease while following him. "We always end it like this." He playfully says while laughing and closing the door behind him.

Currently on vacation but I will still be posting as much as I can. Have a good day/night :]
