You were running late to lunch after getting stuck behind in class to help a teacher out. Eddie noticed you were late since he always waited for you but didn't think nothing of it and headed to his usual lunch table with the rest of the Hellfire Club. Dustin looked at Eddie and raised a brow when he noticed you weren't with him. "Hey,where's y/n? I'm use to you all being like conjoined twins." The club laughed which caused Eddie to scold. "What do you mean by that, Henderson?" "I just mean you two are always together so her not being with you is weird." Mike nodded in agreement which caused Eddie to suddenly get defensive. "Have you ever been friends with a girl? Or do you automatically assume you have to be dating her in order to hang out?" Eddie asked. He was so caught up in the moment that he hadn't even noticed that you were finally in the cafeteria. You smiled as soon as you seen Eddie and decided to surprise him. As you got close to him you could hear the debate going on with him and the club "Me and y/n are just friends and that's all we'll ever be." Your heart dropped as you heard him. From what you had thought it was pretty obvious you two were together. You thought Eddie would be proud to call you his but you must have thought wrong. Keeping confidence and not wanting anyone to know how bad your feelings just got hurt,you chimed into the conversation "That's right we're just friends." You glared at the metalhead and instead of taking your usual spot right next to him,you sat at the other side next to Gareth. "Y/n I can explain." Eddie went on but you held a hand up "There's nothing to explain. We're just friends that's it." Lunch was awkward as you could feel Eddie staring at you the whole time. Your stomach was in knots and the urge to cry kept burning your eyes but you were a pro at hiding your emotions. You went about your day as usual only this time you avoided Eddie at all cause. You couldn't wrap your finger around why Eddie suddenly didn't want to be with you. He mentioned the other day about doing a drug deal with Hawkins high queen herself,Chrissy Cunningham,but you never thought nothing of it. Could that be the reason for his sudden change in feelings? You walked home alone that day or so you thought. You weren't really in the mood for anyone especially Eddie so when he grabbed onto your arm,you instantly pulled away "What do you want,friend?" You asked sarcastically and picking up your pace to try and further away from him "Y/n please just let me explain why I said that." You stopped walking and rolled your eyes "I don't want to be with someone who's ashamed of me. So why don't you go bug Chrissy or something." Eddie looked confused before he started to explain himself again "I don't have anything to do with Chrissy. Y/n I love you. I love you so much I'm worried if everyone finds out they'll start treating you like they treat me...like a freak." "But our friends aren't everyone else. Why can't they know?" He grabbed your hand and held it. His rings were cool and sent cold chills down your spine. You wanted to pull away and stay mad at him but the sincere look in his eyes stopped you "I told them after lunch and I realized it was wrong. I should have talked to you about how I felt before taking it into my own hands." Y
ou listened as he spoke but let out a long tired sigh "Eddie you really hurt my feelings earlier but I appreciate the apology I just hope you mean it." "I'm sorry I hurt your feelings but I promise you I mean it. Any time I worry about things I'll talk to you first." Eddie let go of your hand and cupped your face,leaning his in close to yours. You accepted the apology by pressing your lips onto his soft pair. He kissed you back and pulled away,keeping his forehead pressed on yours "Can I walk my girlfriend home?" He asked with his usual mischievous grin. You giggled at his cuteness and nodded "Only if my boyfriend doesn't mind."
