Eddie Munson Oneshots

Wholesome Love

Eddie was my best friend, so naturally, when he went into High School, I was scared he would leave me behind. I was two years younger than he was, but I didn't care about that. We were each other's only friends for a very long time. That was until he met his bandmates, but he never left me behind. Even with his band practice, he made time for me, and I appreciated that. When I got to High School, I was very apprehensive. The friends I had made over the years without him decided to leave me. They went to sit with all of the cheerleaders. Emma tried dragging me with her expressing that I didn't need to hang out with that "freak" anymore. I sneered and drove her hand away from my shoulders. I caught him waving me over, and I smiled at him. I walked over a little uneasy, but that soon resigned when his buddies even waved, and Gareth scooted over so I could sit by Eddie. I said thank you and shook his hand, familiarizing myself with him. I did the same with all of his other friends, then gave Eddie a hug. "You didn't forget about me!" I called excitedly. He smiled and wrapped his arms around me tightly. "I would never forget about you, Y/N. Never." He said sincerely.

Three Years Later

It was now Eddie and my senior year. Well, it was his third senior year, but who is keeping score here. Emma made my life a living hell. All because I hung out with Eddie. She would call us freaks and that we were really made for the other. I didn't let it trouble me too much, but I knew that Eddie didn't appreciate that I was being ridiculed. He could manage it when they were talking about him, but the one thing that he didn't like was when people made fun of the people he cared about. I told him several times that I didn't really care about that kind of stuff. He said he still didn't want to hear those bitches calling me that. I laughed and pulled him into a hug. We made our way to his van because he was my ride home. Even though we were going to his house. I probably spend as much time with him at his house as in other places. I was helping him with his homework recently so he could graduate this year. His grade has gone up a lot since I have been helping him, and it is starting to make me smile. For some reason, when I teach it to him, he pays more attention. I don't know if it is because he is home and feels more comfortable or if it is because I am the one who is teaching it. Anyway, today was different. He seemed out of it. Like he wasn't in the room. He was kind of rocking back and forth. He only does that when he gets really nervous about something.

"Hey Eddie, what's the matter?" I asked soothingly. He only responded with a hum, but his eyes were still cast to the floor. I move to sit next to him, but he still doesn't move. I gently wrap my arms around his shoulders and pull him to me. "Hey, you can tell me what's up, Eds. I promise I won't be upset." He looked at me after I said that. "Umm, how do I tell a girl that I like her. I mean, she has always been there for me, and I started to have feelings for her in more than a friend way. I don't know how to tell her, and I am nervous she won't feel the same about me." I nodded along as he explained his situation. "Well, how does she make you feel." He smiled at me after I asked that. "She makes me feel brave. Like, when I am with her, I can do anything. Or be anything. She could make me smile in the middle of my crying. Or when she is upset, I get upset. Everything about her makes me happy, from the top of her hair to the bottom of her feet. She is my best friend. I would do anything for her, and I know that she would do anything for me. Like re-teaching me everything I learn in a day so I can pass this year." I look at him with wide eyes. He was talking about me.

"Well, I think you should tell her because I think she feels the same," I said, smiling at him. He looked at me with a smile. One that I see very rarely. He pulled me into a tight embrace and put his hand around my head to truly secure me into him. He sits up on his knees but then leans back on his feet. I sit on his lap and lean into him.

 I don't remember how long we stayed that way. Wrapped up in each other's embrace. We stayed there as long as we were allowed to. I think that we stayed that way until the sun came up. Thank god that it was Saturday. We got up and walked to his room. We laid down and cuddled into each other.

We didn't know that his uncle walked in, but he stopped by Eddie's room to check on him, and what he saw in there made his heart smile. He was happy that his nephew had a good girl to care for him. He smiled at the two of them and then quietly closed the door. He got a cup of coffee and sat on the porch smiling.
