shall we just keep driving?

chapter 5- Crush Culture

So for my evil mastermind plan.

I'm joking it's not that evil.

Wink.

Ok, ok, I'll tell you what it is. Or will I.

Lmao I'll tell you my plan. It involves 2 certain people with the names of Steven Harrington and Edwardo Munson. And this magical thing called love. Look Steve may not have realised this yet but he is so inlove with Eddie it makes my brain hurt. However he is very much in denial of this, so this is why I am going to enlighten him of this fact, indirectly, of course.

I'm hanging out with Eddie today so it starts there. As I arrive at Gareth's place, on skateboard, I see the garage door open with our band stuff already set up. I'm on vocals, Eddie on bass, Gareth on drums and Jeff on electric guitar. It's something we started doing before dnd and it's just been our side thing we do on weekends. We have decided to cover back in black by ac/dc because its fun to play and one of our joint favourite bands. Other covers we've done include: led zeplin, Queen, some ABBA (requested by me of), and some other heavy metal bands.

About a hour in, we have a break and I'm chatting to Eddie when i see Steve pull up outside. " You told me to come here and I'm now really confused?" He comments whilst getting out of the car and walking over to us. " Oh shit, yea I forgot about that," I lie, " I wanted you to meet my other friends." I then introduce him to Gareth and Jeff before walking back over to a very flustered Eddie and introduce them to eachother. "Hey, you must by the infamous Eddie lilli never shuts up about." Steve stutters with a chuckle. " Oh yea... That's me." He smiles. I subtly smirk but I think one (or both) of them see it. Gareth then catches on to my mischievous plan and calls me over for 'help' to leave them alone. "What are you doing?!?!" He asks. "Setting them up, duh" I casually say, earning a chuckle from them both.

Steve stays and watches us play in awe. I can see, out of the corner of my eye, the two of them making eyes at eachother throughout.

Mission accomplished.

As I get into Steve's car, he turns to me with worry in his eyes and says " I think I like Eddie." "Well duh, tell me something I don't know." I reply. " WHAT YOU'VE KNOWN THIS ENTIRE TIME!!" He whisper-shouts at me. " yea.... its pretty fucking obvious innit." The rest of the car ride I just let Steve rant to me about his recent knowledge of his own sexuality. " before I go, I'm gonna let you in on a secret. Steve... you don't have to only like one gender." I say before stepping out the car and shouting shouting a " See ya tomorrow" at him before entering my house.
