I want you - Eddie Munson x male reader

Jobless monday

A/N: hey there! Yes, every chapter will be named after mitski songs 😘😘 you're welcome babes.

My alarm went off at 7:15am, it was monday. I live pretty close to my new school so i it's just a 15 minute walk, which also means i won't have to waste gasoline... 'great choice mum!' I thought to myself, I quickly showered and put on some clothes, brushed my teeth and grabbed my bag, i lived in a small, 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1 living room shared with kitchen, and there was my mum, laying in the couch, passed out with a glass (beer) bottle on her hand. I sighed.

I walked out of the house and locked the door, and silently walked to school, listening on my headphones to my favourite spanish band that had recently gotten popular "Hombres G" (im sorry if you dont know/like this band you can pretend that you're listening to another thing, its just that Y/N in this story is European, specifically Spanish, i hope it doesnt bother ya'll! If it really bothers you you can pretend like he's from another nationality lol) i started gently and quietly whispering the lyrics to myself, as i walked up the stairs of the school, i had finally gotten here.

I took off my headphones and put them in my bag. A nice-looking lady with curly, black, medium length hair approached me, i was confused.

"Hello there!" She smiled warmly.
"Hello?-" i answered back.
"I am Ms. Kelly, the school counselor." She explained and handed my my locker key
"Uh.. thanks?" I replied.

She smiled and wandered away. "Hm, wierd" i thought.
I walked to my locker and standing there next to my locker was a guy with shoulder-length, fluffy brown hair, taking out his books, seemed like his locker was next to mine. I lightly tapped him on the shoulder 'hey-' he turned around.
"Do i know you? Are you new?" He said, confused.
"Yes, I am new, uhm... Do you mind showing me where english is?" I gave him a smile, which surprisingly, he returned. I thought he was going to be mean and scary or something.
"No, i don't mind at all, can i see your timetable? Before he even let me answer he grabbed the paper out of my hand and looked at it, then he looked at his. "We have almost every class together." He continued, "I guess that's cool" he smiled.
"I guess that's cool too!" I returned the smile.
"What's your name?" He said, grinning.
"Y/N L/N" I replied
"Im Eddie, Eddie Munson, or as they call me "Eddie the freak!" nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too!" He didn't seem like a freak, he seemed nice. No, he was nice.
I grabbed my stuff, and so did Eddie. We walked to english making a conversation about the weather, when he suddenly said:
"Nice nails!"
I smiled, but inside i was dying, i had painted my nails black about 3 days ago and i had forgotten to take it off, i quickly hid them under the books, scratching off the nail polish as we walked.
"Oh no don't do that! You're going to ruin them" He exclaimed.
"I know, i'm trying to get rid of the polish, i don't want anyone to tell me anything mean about it." I let out a nervous laugh.
"Don't worry! If anybody tells you something bad about them, then you know who you shouldn't hang out with." He had a point. So i stopped ripping out the polish.
"You do have a point.." I sighed, and then smiled sadly.
"This is it! English class!" He opened the door for me "There you go, sir" He said in a sarcastically obvious posh english accent. I chuckled.
"Why thank you good sir" I said in the same posh accent. Eddie chuckled and played with his hair, playing with it near his mouth.

The class ended, and now Eddie and I had different classes.
"Hey L/N?" He asked.
"Yeah?"
"Meet me at the cafeteria for lunch, 'kay? I Won't be hard to find."
I have him a quick nod and a thumbs up, i then smiled, he did too.

Timeskip to lunch

I entered the cafeteria and I was already a bit lost, i started looking around for Eddie, then I heard his voice calling for me. I could feel relief all over my body knowing that I wasn't gonna spend lunch in a bathroom stall.
"Y/N!" He called again, and i quickened my walk towards his table. I noticed they were all wearing a t-shirt that wrote "hellfire club" on it, and they were all having decently-sized portions of food.
"Come sit here!" Eddie indicated, patting a seat next to him, I sat there, quietly.
"H-hey guys, I'm Y/N L/N, I just moved here from Spain." I introduced myself.
Everybody introduced themselves, too, except Eddie, of course. They were talking about some game... Dungeons and Dragons. I've never heard of that before, but I listened, catching up on what it was like.
"Soo," i interrupted "why are you all wearing the same t-shirt?"
"Oh, we have a club where we play DnD" Dustin Explained.
"Ohh yeah that's cool." I smiled at them.
"Do you wanna come and play with us?" Asked Eddie, and i swear i could see a hint of blush in his cheeks when he smiled at me that time.
"Oh, I'd love to, but I can't, i need to look for a job. I've sold almost everything I have to be able to buy the new house, and, somebody's got to pay the rent, and medicine." I explained, and whispered the "medicine" part, with a sad smile.
"Pay rent? Aren't your parents supposed to take care of that?" Asked Mike.
"Well, My Dad is back at Spain, in jail, and my mum, well.. she's got..issues, yeah...I barely see her." I said, "So yeah, I need to look for a job." I chuckled sadly. "My first jobless Monday in a long time!" I added.
"Sorry, man." Said Gareth.
"I chuckled "it's fine!"
"I could lend you a helping hand, i could give you some money if that hel-" i didn't let Eddie finish, i interrupted him, "its fine, i mean, its not fine, but you know, its fine." I said. He gave me a reassuring, but sad smile. He stared.
"Are you going to eat something?" Eddie said, "If you don't have anything i coul-" i interrupted him, again "its fine, i do have food." I got out an apple, and slowly started eating it, everyone got back to talking about DnD, except Eddie. He stared, again.
"Are you only going to eat that apple?" He asked.
"Yeah, but not because i want to, it's just, food doesn't really sit right with me, almost everything comes right back up, so i have to eat very slowly, and in little quantities." I explained, i lifted up my shirt a little to reveal a circular scar on my abdomen. "I had a feeding tube for a while but we couldn't afford it, so they had to take it out after a couple months, so instead, (to keep me alive) i have these sweet old babies of mine!" i said, rattling a pill bottle, "these contain all my nutrients and shit so i can actually stay alive, they work as anti-depressants, too!" I chuckled.
"And those over there?" Said Eddie, and chuckled. pointing to another pill bottle in my bag.
"Those are.... pills, if you know what i mean." I chuckled, and so did he, his smile was cute.
"But i think i'm gonna sell 'em, i need the money, i can live off smoking a pack a day." I laughed.
"What brand?" He asked.
"Marlboro." I replied.
"Good." He said, i looked away.
"Golds, obviously." I said, looking back at him.
"Asshole." He said jokingly and smiled at me, "Reds, always." He continued.
"Golds, always." I mocked him, ironically, of course.
There was silence for a while
"I could help you find a job after school, i saw you came here walking, we could drive on my car." He smiled, and i felt my face get a little bit warm.
"Really, you'd do that?! Don!t you have like this DnD thing?" I asked, and i could feel he saw my face 'lit up' a little.
" 'Course, dude! I can postpone it." He answered.
"Thanks, man! You're a life saver!" I smiled at him.
