Three's A Crowd? (Eddie Munson/ Steve Harrington x OC)

19

They set off, leaving the trailer in a hurry, knowing they had to wait for their signal, but also realising they had a fuck tone of amps to set up. Setting up the amps wasn't the easiest thing, but in comparison to what they were about to face, it was Childs play. Dustin was setting up the amps when Carrie jumped down to talk to Eddie. "Nervous?" she asked, it was a silly question. "Shitting myself," Eddie replied with a small laugh. "At least if you die, you'll look hot with the guitar around you," she playfully winked at him. "Oh you think I look hot?" Eddie smirked, stepping closer to her. "You look hotter, usually you're pretty hot, but with the guitar, if it wasn't bats it would be girls id have to fight off you," Carrie smiled at him, clearly making him feel less tense. "Very clever," Eddie smirked, putting his hands on Carries hips, pulling her closer to him. "Even covered in Upside down dirt you look beautiful," Eddie smiled. "Why thank you Mr Munson," Carrie blushed, their faces moving closer with each sentence. "You're ever so welcome Mrs Munson," Eddies nickname caused Carrie to giggle before Eddie closed the gap between them kissing her gently. 

"Do you mind? I am working my ASS off up here, while you two are making babies," Dustin shouted, wiping the 'sweat' from his brow. "Dude, you need to pay better attention in sex ed if this is how you think babies are made," Eddie laughed, his forehead still pressed against Carries. They both smiled at each other, Carrie began to move to go help her brother but Eddie caught her hand before she could leave. "I know its fast, but since its life or death, I wanted to tell you," he cleared his throat, pausing, "I erm, I seriously like you Carrie, I dont know how to explain what I feel for you without scaring you off but-" Eddie rambled but Carrie cut him off. "I love you Eddie Munson," she smiled up at him. Eddie let out a sigh of relief, "oh thank Fuck for that because I love you too, like I really love you," Eddie winked, kissing her quickly before they couple returned to helping Dustin. 

"It's all set up," Dustin nodded to Eddie, gulping slightly at what was to come. The feedback crackled through the musty air. Dustin stepped back as Eddie prepared himself. Eddie walked upto Carrie confidently, kissing her passionately. "If you die, ill kill you," she whispered. Eddie smirked as he walked up to the amps, plugging his guitar in. "Chrissy, this is for you!" he shouted before strumming his guitar hard.

Carrie heard the distinctive song she knew too well begin flowing through her ears. "Metallica," she smiled, whispering too herself as she pulled Dustin close. Eddie looked like a god as he rocked his guitar. Carrie zoned out slightly as she watched his fingers go at lightening speed. She couldn't help the dirty thoughts that flowed through her mind: step one- dont die, step two- get Eddie to use her like his guitar. Dustin cheers and clapping broke her from her thoughts. She looked at her hero, he was risking his life for a town that didn't even care about him. Her heart could of burst with love for the man who stood before her. Proudness exuded her. Unfortunately, she couldnt stay staring with love for much longer as the echo of bats could be heard getting closer. Dustin sat nodding along with the beat smiling gleefully, he was clearly just as proud as Carrie was. As the noise of bats got closer, Dustin stood with binoculars, warning Eddie of how close they were getting. Eddie didn't even faulter as he continued playing just as hard. "We need to move!" Dustin shouted as the bats were now in clear sight. "EDDIE!" Carrie shouted trying to get him to come but he carried on playing. "Carrie, we've got to go!" Dustin shouted. without missing a beat Carrie climbed up to where Eddie was playing, grabbing his shoulder she pulled him. "Eddie! We have to go!" she shouted. He looked up to the bats that were far closer than he thought. He finally stopped playing, following Carrie and Dustin.

"Move, move move!" Dustin shouted as the group ran inside. "Dude!" Dustin spoke out of breath, "Most metal ever, oh my GOD!" Dustin smiled, jumping up and down. Eddie smiled doing the same. "You asshole! You nearly died!" Carrie panted, hitting Eddie in the chest. He caught her hand, "but I didn't," he pulled her into a hug. She breathed in his scent deeply. 

The three of them had calmed their breathing levels enough, the adrenaline of what just happened had calmed also. "What was that?" Carrie questioned when she could swore she heard something. The three of them walked towards the noise like idiots in a horror film. They looked up at the ceiling, hearing scuttling in a vent above them. The clattering continued. It got louder as they got closer to the noise. And just like a jump scare in a horror movie, they were sent flying back in fear when a group of demobats burst through the vents of the trailer. Their screams filled the upside down as they began to panic. Dustin stuck the bats with his spear, hitting them repeatedly, screaming "DIE DIE DIE" as he hit them. Eddie and Carrie joined in with the spear beating. Eddie stuck the ceiling with his shield, blocking the vent which stopped the creature getting in. "Holy shit," Eddie panted, "Holy shit," Carrie and Dustin repeated. Dustin high fives Eddie on his work. Until the realisation dawned on Dustin, "are there any other vents?" he questioned. "Oh shit," Eddie also realised. "Shit, shit, shit, shit," Eddie panicked running towards the other vent he had. The group were too late as a group of raging demobats burst once again into the trailer. "SHIT" Eddie shouted as he pushed Carrie and Dustin out of the room, slamming the door behind them. The door clearly wasn't going to hold the swarm for long as the group stumbled back. "Thats not gonna hold!" Dustin screamed. "Lets go! Lets go!" Eddie screamed back as Dustin began to climb up the bedsheets into the real world. "Carrie go!" Eddie shouted, she did as she was told following Dustin. "EDDIE COME ON!" Carrie shouted from the real world, waiting for Eddie to climb up. 

As his hands touched the make shift rope, Carrie could see a switch in Eddies face, she could see straight away what he was thinking. "Eddie dont you dare!" she cried. "Eddie come on, lets go!" Dustin screamed, but he couldnt see that Eddie had stopped climbing. "Eddie please!" Carrie cried out again, her throat ripping and hoarse. She watched as he picked up his spear. "Dustin make him stop!" Carrie screamed but it was too late. Everything seemed to go in slow motion as she watched Eddie swing the spear through the bedsheets, cutting it clean. "EDDIE NO!" she cried once more. He wasn't done, he promised to keep her safe. He reached down moving the mattress out of the way giving them no way to get back into the Upside Down, giving them no way to save him. "Eddie what are you doing?" Dustin screamed again. "I'm buying more time," he replied. "NO!" Dustin throat was now the one ripping to pieces as he shouted. "EDDIE PLEASE" Carrie cried helplessly. Eddie looked up one more time, swallowing any sign of tears or fear. 

"I love you, both of you."
