Summer of 1987
A year after the Vecna's downfallAdult Content warning: slightly smutty
The sound of Dustin Henderson rummaging through kitchen cabinets is what woke Eddie from peaceful sleep.
It had only been a few hours of rest but it was dreamless and in his book that was a good thing. The lack of dreams also meant that the kisses with Steve were one hundred percent real.
That was also confirmed when he looked down at his chest and Steve was still laying his head there. A quick glance around the room revealed everyone else was asleep, and hadn't seen them. It was possible Dustin had but he had fallen asleep near the kitchen so maybe he didn't.
It didn't matter to Eddie if anyone had seen them cuddling, he trusted every single person in the cabin to not care. Hell even some of the young ones needed to see it was okay and they weren't alone. But he didn't know if Steve was ready for that yet. And until he was sure, Eddie's lips were sealed.
Making sure he was extra careful and gentle, he slowly pushed Steve off of him and back onto his pillow. Then he got up off the ground trying not to step on anyone in the process.
Dustin was holding a mug of coffee. Eddie raised his brows at it.
"Aren't you too young for coffee?" He teased and ruffled Dustin's hair.
"I'm sixteen." He rolled his eyes.
"Sure you are." Eddie found the coffee pot and poured him a mug as well.
"It's early for you to be awake." Dustin noted.
He looked for a clock, to only one was above the stove and it read as 7:05 am. It was really early for him, he was more of a 9 am or later person.
"You were loud."
The two of them talked for about an hour before Dustin demanded Eddie make breakfast, he didn't mind especially after last time. Dustin was banned from cooking after the horrifying campaign of Christmas of 1986. He nearly burnt the place to the ground after he tried to make waffles.
"There's not enough for pancakes, but I can make eggs."
"I could drive to the store and get pancake mix?" Dustin offered and reached to where Eddie's van keys were.
"Oh hell no. I don't want you to wreck her."
"Come on! I got my drivers license two months ago."
"Yes and you forget that Steve and I were the ones who taught you, and that you almost crash into every mailbox you see. No driving."
Dustin pouted and that alone was enough to make Eddie crack. He hated letting the kid down.
"Fine. But if there's even one scratch on her I swear Henderson."
Dustin hugged him, tightly. "Thank you Eddie! Is there anything else?"
"You're too young to buy cigarettes or alcohol so no. Be quick."
He held his car keys out and Dustin took them with a smile, and Eddie watched as he drove away.
"Jesus Christ I'm going to regret that." Eddie got to making some eggs while Dustin was gone, there were sixteen people so he had to make a lot.
Will woke up and came into the kitchen to help. He didn't say anything but just helps mix the egg for scrambled eggs. Eddie nodded in thanks and they continued to make breakfast.
The others gradually woke up and waited patiently for breakfast.
When Dustin returned there was a loud cheers of joy over the idea of pancakes.With will and Dustin helping, it didn't take long for him to make all the food.
