Lana and Eddie sat talking about their childhood memories with each other for hours, passing blunts, teasing and laughing.
They were both surprised by how comfortable they had quickly become, admittedly helped by the giggles the weed had given them, but nonetheless were enjoying each other's company.
"Do you remember the way we would shout and scream at Wayne to wake him up?" Eddie laughed, comfortably sat at the end of his bed.
"Yes!" Lana snorted as she laughed. "Poor Wayne we never let that man sleep."
Eddie was shocked by how loud and expressive she was being with him, completely opposite to the girl he was talking to that morning, he was pleased though - but maybe more confused than before.
She was always beautiful to him, he had a crush on her growing up that he would never admit to anybody, but obviously that crush had faded as they grew up and grew apart.
However - now looking at her, her upturned lips and twinkling eyes, he felt that same flutter in his stomach that he did when he was a kid and that confused him.
This wasn't meant to be a romantic or even sexual mission, this was meant to be a heroic friendship mission. But as they sat on the bed together, Lana leaning against the wall and facing him, he felt like the mission might've changed.
Lana was also having the same problem. She couldn't use him now! He was too nice! And she liked these happy childhood memories, she couldn't taint them by making him hate her now!
"So the van plan is out the window... so why am I here? Wait. No. There's no way." She thought to herself. "I cant have a crush on Eddie Munson! That doesn't make sense!... But maybe it does, he's handsome and kind of cool now - No Lana. You cant care about him. The van plan is on. No feelings allowed."
Lana pushed the thoughts to the back of her head and carried on laughing with Eddie, just trying to enjoy the moment.
"So um how come now you're so like... you know... quiet and likee..." Eddie smiled, trying to ease into the question.
"Like what?" Lana scoffed with a smile, expecting him to have a joke lined up.
"I don't know the words... Like... really reserved and almost... defensive now." He awkwardly laughed but his tone was the most serious it had been since they started smoking.
Lana awkwardly laughed back, feeling the mood drop massively and her hands and face getting warm.
"I'm not defensive Eddie." She stuttered, looking down. "I don't want to talk about it."
"But see that's you being defensive." Eddie leaned in, going off his rush of confidence he had from finally asking the question. "I just wanna know what happened to make you so-"
"So what? Weird? Like you're one to talk." Her head instantly rushed to the bad places - the paranoid thoughts she'd been trying to push back and her chest filled with anxiety.
"W-What?" Eddie was dumbstruck and she quickly looked up at him.
"I'm going home." She mumbled, straight faced and annoyed, desperately biting her tongue.
She could feel herself getting wound up and defensive, he was right, but she didn't want to talk about it. And who was he to ask about it?
"No Lana I'm sorry, stay." He was shocked by her sudden mood change and jumped up as she moved off the bed to get her stuff. "I didn't mean to upset you, I didn't mean anything by it."
Half of Lana wanted to punch him in the face, go home, cry and hate him for asking what was really such a simple question. But the other half, her soft, doting half that she desperately kept contained most of the time, told her to sit back down and enjoy the evening with Eddie. Don't destroy something before it can even get good. Just change the subject Lana.
She forced a quiet laugh and sat back down on the bed, looking up at Eddie with a smile. "Do you still play guitar then?"
He was once again dumbstruck by her sudden mood swing, thinking "What the fuck just happened there?" but deciding to brush it off as he was pleased that she'd decided to stay.
He awkwardly laughed back, scratching the back of his neck.
"Hell yeah I still play guitar!" He grinned and walked over to the electric guitar hung on his wall. "This is my baby."
"Will you play it for me?"
"Maybe sometime. Not now though, I'm way too stoned. I don't wanna fuck it up."
"Why? Would that be embarrassing?" She lifted an eyebrow with a teasing smirk and Eddie swallowed.
"Yeah.. just a bit."
