EDDIE MUNSON IMAGINES

WHEREABOUTS: PART THREE

"were you awake all night?" you asked eddie as you shifted from your position on his chest. he nodded, his hold on you still tight as his tired eyes searched for anybody or a sign of anybody. "you should get some sleep, eddie."

he shook his head.

"you aren't safe, i'm not going to let you just sleep in fear," he muttered, his eyes looking towards the door as you sat up to look at him.

"eddie," you muttered, your hand reaching up and gently running your finger down his jawline as you stared at him. "you're exhausted. you need to go to sleep."

you stood up, beginning to leave the boat as you got onto the sturdy part at the shed, seeing eddie shaking his head.

"no, i'm fine," he responded as you shook your head.

"eddie, as your girlfriend, you're getting some sleep," you told him, pressing a kiss to his cheek briefly before leaning back to smile at him. "get some sleep, pretty boy."

he shook his head, climbing out of the boat as he pulled you back to him.

"i'll get on my knees and beg, eddie, if that's what it takes," you laughed, feeling comforted now because of him. "i trust you with everything i have. you helped me last night, you held me all night. i never once felt your hold loosen at all. you had me, and i'll have you. but, you need to trust me and go to sleep."

his eyes searched yours as you nodded, giving him a brief smile.

"i need to protect you," he muttered.

"but, eddie, you're exhausted," you said softly as he shook his head, pulling you close to him. he pressed a couple of kisses to the side of your head. he heard you sigh in response.

"you act so tough, but i know the truth, pretty boy," you muttered, looking up at him. "you are such a softie."

"yeah, only for you, princess. nobody else deserves to see the side of me that i reserve for only you. especially when it shows how vulnerable i am," he muttered into your hair, his eyes glancing towards the windows before bringing you over to the table with the food.

"come on, let's get something to eat," he muttered as you sighed.

"you're so stubborn."

"maybe they went back to the cabin, i mean, it would make sense," dustin said as max nodded. nancy also agreed, all of the group getting in the car and heading over there.

"do you guys think that she's obsessed with eddie?" dustin asked.

"what are you talking about?" steve asked him. dustin turned to face him, letting out a sigh.

"______. do you think she's obsessed with him or something?"

"she's in love with him, henderson," he replied.

"she's in love with eddie?" he questioned. "what?"

"is it that hard to believe that she can be in love with somebody?"

"it's not her," dustin responded.

"then what is it?" steve asked him as he paused, raising his eyebrows.

"i think it's obvious what i'm asking. like, eddie is so tough and acts so far out there; yet, ______ is so gentle, kind, and sweet. she's the complete opposite of him."

steve chuckled. "and yet, henderson, they're both smitten with each other."

he sighed, looking out the window.

"i'm just wondering is all."

when they got to the shed, they peeked into the window and saw eddie sleeping in the boat. he hadn't even concealed himself underneath the tarp which meant that you were with him. dustin nodded.
