Genuine ~Eddie Munson~

a/n: don't play the clip just yet!

You wake up and roll over to snuggle up to Eddie only to notice he wasn't in bed next to you. You sit up and look around the room.

He wasn't in the room either. You stand up and walk to the living room to see him passed out on the couch. You sigh as you walk over to him.

You sit on the armrest of the recliner and brush his hair out of his face. He slowly opens his eyes, bringing his hand up to his face. He rubbed his eyes as he sat up and looked around the room

"What time is it?" He asked in his groggy morning voice

"7:30. Why are you on the couch?" You asked as you ran your fingers through his hair

"I was watching tv and I must've fell asleep." Eddie said

"The tv isn't on." You say while pointing at the tv

"Okay, I lied. I just didn't want to upset you. I gave you the bed so you can have some space and I took the couch so you won't have another freak out." Eddie admitted

"Eddie, you didn't have to do that." You say

"Stop, it's okay. Sweetheart, yesterday I was so scared for you. I don't ever want to see you that scared again, okay?" Eddie said while grabbing your hand and rubbing his thumb over your knuckles

"I'm sorry." Was all you could say to him as you looked down at your lap

"Hey, no," He hooked his finger under your chin and made you look at him "you are not to apologize for any of last night, okay?"

You nod your head slowly and stare at his lips for a few seconds before looking back up to his eyes. He pulls you in for a quick kiss and you smile as you pull away.

Eddie's the definition of the perfect guy. Every single day he ceases to amaze you. He's sweet, considerate, delicate, passionate, beautiful, sexy and he's a genuine person.

"Eddie Munson you cease to amazing me every single day." You say with a smile

"Valerie Wheeler, there's no one I care for more than you." Eddie said as he tucked hair behind your ear

"How did I get lucky enough to end up with you?" You say with a smile still already wide across your face

"You kind of just used me, sweetheart. I am hurt. You didn't even take me out to dinner or anything." Eddie joked as he wiped away fake tears from his eyes

"Oh, fuck off." You say with a laugh as you softly shove his shoulder

"You're not the lucky one, I am. My weird ass managed to pull the most beautiful girl at Hawkins high." Eddie said with a smile

"You're cheesy." You say while ruffling his hair with your hand

"Come here, I wanna show you something." Eddie said while getting up from the couch, grabbing your hand and walking over to his room.

He speed walks over to his guitar and takes it off of the hook. He walks over to the bed, climbing into it.

He leans his back against the wall behind him as his legs were spread out in front of him.

He pats the spot in front of him and you smile and climb into the spot between his legs

He places the guitar in your lap and grabs your hands, placing them in a certain position.

"This is a song I've been working on for Corroded Coffin. I don't have the lyrics yet but I have the music." Eddie said while resting his head on your shoulder
