Hidden Feelings / Do I Love Him | Eddie X Male Reader

Butterflies.

Y/n sits in his fourth period music class listening to his teacher. "Today, everybody will finally be picking an instrument to play! You can choose between the guitar, ukelele, violin, flute, clarinet, or trumpet. Please choose at your own risk, each instrument takes a while to learn."

Everybody stood up and went to the front of the room, everybody but Y/n. He sat there with his palms on his face and looking down at the floor, today he felt extremely sleepy. Last night he might've stayed up to read one of his favorite books.

Even with the sleepiness, today Y/n wasn't high on whatever drugs he could find and smoke. He stood up and walked up to the front of the room to look at the instruments. A particular blue and black instrument caught his eye, it was an electric guitar.

Y/n immediately went to it, on his way he bumped into someone. And guess who that someone was! It was Eddie Munson, the one and only! "Oh sorry Eddie, I'm just trying to get to the electric guitar here."

"Oh it's alright Y/n. That's a pretty interesting instrument to pick." Y/n picked up the guitar and held it, it was a bit heavier than expected but he dealt with it.

"Yeah, it was the only one to catch my eye." Y/n held the guitar and tried to play a chord.

"You know, I can play the guitar too. Maybe out of class I can give you some lessons, they won't teach you the best in here. I'm sure I'm a better teacher!"

Y/n looked up and Eddie, "Oh, um.. sure! I have a bunch of free time anyway. Except for when I'm playing D&D with my nerd friends."

"Wait hold on, you play D&D too!?!"

"Um, of course! It's like the best game to ever exist! Maybe better than Nintendo man.."

"That's nice, I play D&D with my friends too!"

"Maybe we can play together someday, wanna meet my friends?"

"Sure, it's almost lunch anyway."

Y/n and Eddie sat down together while Y/n tried to play the guitar and Eddie tried to play the clarinet. Eddie blew into the clarinet and pressed on a hole, but out came a sound that sounded like a fart.

Y/n looked at Eddie and burst out in laughter, "You're terrible at the clarinet!!"

"You say that when you're horrible at the guitar!" Y/n plays a random chord with a chip and it came out terrible. He grinned, "Well I can't help it!"

"Maybe if we work together, I could finally get a good grade in something.."

"Eddie, I don't think we're getting a good grade anytime soon if we're working together."

Eddie smiled and looked down at the clarinet he held in his hands, "Well, I don't want to work with anybody else in this class but you."

Y/n opened his mouth as if he were to say something but the bell rang on him. "I guess it's time for lunch!" The two males packed their things up and put their instruments back in their places.

They walked out of the classroom into the busy hallways of Hawkins High. "Man, when I heard the sound you made with the clarinet I died on the inside. Like why the fuck does it sound like that?!"

"No, no, the sound you made with the damn guitar. That was too far, like what was that..? You really need my lessons dude!!"

"Anytime! Do I have to pay though because I'm literally broke."

"It's on me, no pay. That's what friends are for."

"Friends, huh.." Y/n smiled at the label.

They walked into the cafeteria where they met with Y/n's friends, Dustin, Mike, and Lucas. "Hey guys! What's upppp!"
