Maybe He's Perfect. [Eddie Munson]

Chapter 4: Invites and Surprises

March 20th, 1986

  "Hey Eddie, Nick and I were gonna go to the arcade tomorrow after school if you want to come with us" Eddie thought for a minute before saying, "you know what? fuck it. sure, im in."

  Nick gave a huge smile. "So, are you staying until practice is over too?" "How much longer does it last, Ford?" Nick looked down  at his watch that said 16:26. "About 20 more minutes. Is that ok?" With a sigh, Eddie shrugged "I guess. I don't really have anything better to do anyway."

  Eddie stared in silence at the blonde baseball player. He just kept thinking, "He looks so sweaty. Why would anyone make the decision to do something like this?"

  But then, his thoughts changed a bit. "He actually looks hot right now. Very hot. In more ways than one." Dustin waved his hand in front of Eddie's face, "Are you ok, man? Overheating or something? You keep whispering 'hot' and you're oddly focused on the game." Eddie's face turned bright red. "Yeah. Something like that. I'll be fine." "If you say so, Eddie"

  In about 15 or so minutes after that Nick came running up to them. "Ready to go?" Eddie looked him up and down. "Ew. You stink." Nick put on a jokingly hurt face and a fake gasp. "I can't believe you would ever tell me that, Eddie Munson!" He then pulled Eddie into a tight hug, just giving him the excuse to make Eddie smell like sewage runoff too. They were both laughing like madmen while Eddie was trying to push Nick off. "God, why are you so strong?" Eddie managed to huff out in between trying to push him. "Oh you know, milk."

  In his attempts to get him off, Eddie accidentally shoved Nick by the chest. Nick let a small "ow" slip from his lips. Eddie was confused for a moment before he said, "Oh man, I'm sorry-"

  "No, it's fine. It's just that I did something stupid when I was younger and now they're kind of sensitive" Eddie had to restrain from laughing. "They're sensitive? Christ, what did you do?" Eddie said between chuckles. Without a word, Nick stepped away from the hug and took off his shirt. "AH, WHAT THE HELL-" Eddie spun around to face Dustin so quick he mightve gotten whiplash.

  "No, Eddie look." "No way, Loverboy." "I dunno Eddie, it's pretty metal~" Eddie turned towards him slowly. Piercings. Nick has fucking nipple piercings.
