Welcome to Love // Eddie Munson x Male Reader

8 - The Past

TRIGGER WARNING - Slurs, SA

-------------------------------

(Eddie's POV)

"It's not very nice to eavesdrop Munson." My eyes widened as I saw Y/n standing in the door. I tried to say some words but only stuttered, no full words coming out of my mouth. "Well... I guess you would have found out eventually." I looked at him confused as he walked into the janitor's closet shutting the door behind him. He lifted up the side of his shirt and I saw the 'J' scar obviously cut into his skin. I walked closer to him and lightly touched it with my fingers.

"Did he do this to you?" You just looked down not saying anything. "Y/n I need you to talk to me. What is going on?"

"It's a long story. I'll tell you later." You put your shirt back down and put out your hand for me. "Shall we head back to the table?" I looked at him with a saddened look in my eyes. I've said it multiple times before, but I have never been this worried about someone. Let alone someone I met just TODAY. Yet, I still took his hand as we walked back towards the table.

"So, we aren't going to talk about this?"

"I said later. Plus, I have to tell Gareth as well anyways. I promised him I would." I felt my body whole body tense up as he said 'Gareth'. I know I shouldn't be like this I mean he is my best friend. But I can't help the thought that he would get to Y/n before me. I know it's not something I should be jealous of as Y/n does call Gareth his best friend, but I don't know. It just hurts.

(Y/n POV)

We get back and I quickly slip my hand out of Eddies. I don't need anyone thinking something is going on there. Especially Jason. He is the last person I need to start going after my friends. It's almost like he's always there. Watching me. He probably has his goons keeping an eye on me. I mean I always feel someone watching me. It's not a dangerous feeling, more of a protected feeling. 

But when Jason is around... it's a whole different story. All he wants to do is harm me. Make me feel like crap for the past. Thats all he ever wants to do. He opens up and is nice for a few days but then he's a massive dick again. I've learned to ignore his antics, but it truly is difficult.

As we start walking back towards the table, I hear Dustin asking about their current campaign. Eddie quickly starts talking about the campaign and describing the characters.

"Then there is this character Vec-." I saw the room around me become dark. Why did it become so dark? I didn't hear any of the guys talking until I heard a voice. That calming voice.

"WHO'S THERE?" I yelled as loud as I could. I then saw a tall man with blonde hair sweeping perfectly across the side of his forehead. He was wearing white and had his arm crossed in front of him.

"There's nothing to worry about. But... you aren't supposed to be here." It was the calming voice, the one from my dreams. The one that made me feel so loved and welcomed.

"Where am I?"

"You're safe darling."

"Wait... did I fall asleep? You're..."

"From your dreams, correct."

"How did I get here."

"Goodbye Darling." As soon as he said this I came back to reality. I saw Eddie waving his arm in front of my face.

"You awake over there?" Eddie asked laughing.

"Yea... yea I'm... I'm okay." I went over to the benches and sat there.
