Eddie Munson X Reader

I Would Die For You- Eddie x Reader

Summary: Request made byfreakofhawkins

Eddie, who is number ten, finds out Vecna has the reader in his clutches. (I have not finished the last episode so some of this is me just using my imagination. I'm sorry if it doesn't follow the plot line exactly but I hope you enjoy it! I use Henry's name when Eddie thinks about him because that's the name he knew. I use Vecna for the thing Henry has become.)

       Eddie stared looking in disbelief at the two people who were supposed to be keeping an eye out on (Y/N). "What do you mean, she's gone? I left for, like, five minutes. How did you lose her in five minutes!?" He threw his  arms up in the air, bringing his hands to rest on the back of his head, exhaling slowly. Robin felt awful, the look on her face proved that and Steve couldn't look him in the eye, "Man, I don't know. We were out gathering supplies to get the trailer ready. She was there, I turned to shout at Robin not to go to far and when I turned back she-she was gone. Just gone, like she teleported somewhere." Robin took a step closer to him, "We looked around the entire area. We didn't see any evidence of what happened."

      Dustin and Nancy came out of the trailer with a nail gun and some other things, "What's going on?" They asked simultaneously. Dustin looked around noticing (Y/N) missing, his shoulders dropped, some of the stuff falling out of his hands, "Oh no..." Eddie gave him a look that said, I fucking know, "How long has she been missing? Is it Vecna?" Eddie kicked at the ground, "At this point, I don't doubt it. Henry always hated me for getting too much attention from Papa. Same as Eleven." They all nodded, it was strange for him to finally open up about how he had escaped the lab but they all seemed to accept him just like they did El. It was a huge relief to finally have people on his side for once and since the Mind Flayer, the group had grown closer. He however hadn't expected to start feeling the way he did about (Y/N).  He thought maybe living in the lab for so long had halted those types of emotions. Seeing El and Mike's relationship gave him hope and the closer he grew to her the more those feelings came up. He picked up his shield, "We can't start the attack on Vecna before we find her. Even if it means we have to develop a new plan...She's too important to me guys." Steve licked his lips, understanding what he was saying, "Okay, we'll take you to where we were when she disappeared."

       Eddie nodded, "My powers aren't back completely but maybe I can use them enough to pick up a trail."  Since the Mind Flayer both he and El's powers disappeared. He had been hiding himself away in the tub; buying hundreds of pounds of salt trying to get them back. It helped that Wayne knew the truth and kept track of his progress; making notes and suggestions in order to hasten his powers returning. Eddie had been too scared to contact Eleven because they hadn't even been that close when together at the lab...he hoped she was doing okay now. If she was aware of what was going on, he knew she was trying to get back here and help. She would do anything to help save Max just like he would do anything to help (Y/N). Images of the two of them spending time together flashed through his mind, his heart being overwhelmed with worry and grief thinking about if he didn't make it on time...or worse was unable to save her. The smell of her hair, the sound of her laugh, the look in her eyes when he complimented her...the spark when she would touch him. He shook his head as he heard Robin start talking, "This is it, I remember that tree." Steve nodded walking to a specific spot, "Here, this is where she stood, " He walked a few steps away to the left,  "I was here." He then spoke as he re-enacted what happened earlier.  Eddie nodded and went to stand where she had been.

        Dustin came to stand beside him, lightly nudging him with his arm, "You can do this, Eddie. It'll be no problem for you." Eddie gave him a half smile, "Thanks, Henderson." He nudged him back slightly before taking focus. Breathing in and out, taking a few seconds to become grounded and not panic. He closed his eyes and felt out with his powers. If there were any residual particles from Henry using his powers here he would be able to feel out their trail. Leading them right to her. A few minutes passed and Nancy started to talk causing him to open his eyes but then he felt it. He raised his hand to silence her, "Shush." She did so but she looked slightly annoyed, he re-closed them. There to his left he could feel reminiscences of Henry's power. Suddenly, Vecna flashed before him and taunted him with flashes of (Y/N) being tied to a tree, calling his name. Eddie opened his eyes, pissed, "I know where they are." The others gulped at the tone he used but followed without question.

        As Eddie brought the group closer to the location he turned towards them, "Henry has been draining my power through the particles he left behind. I can feel myself weakening by the second. I might only have one shot to attack him...that means you guys will need to focus on two things, " He points to Nancy and Steve, "You two need to keep our escape route open." He then shifted to Dustin and Robin, "While he and I are involved you will need to help (Y/N) escape. She's tied by vines to a tree. Get her out as quickly as possible. Don't worry about me. Get. Her. Out. Into the real world." They all nodded in understanding before he led them into the clearing. There in the center was a group of trees. One of which she was tied too. Eddie swallowed harshly, "(Y/N).."She was clearly struggling against the vines, trying to unbind herself. Steve and Nancy stayed behind, ready to fight anything that tried to block their way.  Dustin and Robin went left to go around and start freeing (Y/N).

(Y/N) POV

    Vecna laughed as he saw them approach through the woods, "Looks like I was right to take you. 10 couldn't stop himself from saving you." You struggled against the vines that held you tight, cutting into you, "You asshole, Eddie will kill you. He is better than you!" Vecna turned fast on his heels, almost teleporting in front of you, his gaze intense, creepy face inches from your own, "We're about to find out if you're right about him. I highly doubt it. That's why I took you...I intend to turn him to my side. You're the key to doing so." You swallowed harshly. Surely good would win over evil. Out of the corner of your eye, you could see Dustin and Robin army crawling over to you. Your heart beat quickened, hopefully they would be okay and not get caught.

      Eddie shouted, "Henry!" You turned your head and watched as Eddie approached with his makeshift spear and shield. You tried to shout out at him but one of the vines grew to cover your mouth. You could only watch in terror as the events unfolded before you.  Eddie and Vecna began to slowly circle each other. Both of them talking slowly and evenly in manner as to not cast light on how they really felt. You could feel Robin and Dustin tugging on the vines lowest on your body.  With each vine they cut the others tightened and you had no way of saying anything as the one over your mouth held you silent.  Vecna tossed Eddie against the wall, you screamed, not wanting him to get hurt. You cared for him so much and seeing his body fly through the air  like a doll brought tears to your eyes. All you wanted too shout was, save yourself. Don't worry about me. Just go...but you couldn't.  Eddie stood, his stance taking on a different feeling then you ever felt from him. The vines around you were almost cut lose, the last one tightening around your throat. The scenery around you blackening and the last thing you saw was Eddie throwing Vecna harshly into the chandelier that hung above the entry way as he was struck by lightening.

     Several minutes must have passed because by the time you opened your eyes you were in Eddies' room in the real world, not the upside down.  Your body ached and was heavy from having had oxygen loss for too long, " Eddie?"Everyone stood silent unable to answer. Your heart quickened and you began trying to get yourself to stand up. You noticed the cloth rope had been cut down so you couldn't just pull yourself back to the other side. You frantically looked at the faces of your friends, "You just left him behind!?" Dustin moved forward slightly, "Eddie told us to get you out. Not to worry about him. He wanted you safe, first and foremost." Your face contorted in sadness and pain, "Eddie...please be okay..." Images flashed through your mind  of him laughing, his  shyness when he talked to you, the sound of his voice saying your name...the feeling that built in your stomach when he stood or sat very close to you, "Please be okay..." You whispered. The entire group began to pace and cast glances toward the gate. Dustin began to sniffle, "Maybe..." But before he could continue you heard a familiar voice shout, "You better have gotten her out of here, Harrington. " He came into view through the gate, limping and holding his side. His face slightly bloody. You started crying in happiness; Dustin and Steve retied the sheet rope and tossed it up into the upside down for him to come back.

     After he had climbed/fell back into the real world you lunged at him, "Eddie!" His arms wrapped around you, "(Y/N), fuck I thought I had lost you." He pulled back and before you could say anything his lips crashed into yours. You moaned at the contact. Heart leaping. You managed to pull yourself away looking up into his gorgeous brown eyes, "I love you, Eddie." His smile reached ear to ear, "I love you too...I would die for you, (Y/N)."You smiled up at him knowing it was the truth, "Let's go kill that fucking bastard." Everyone around you whooped in agreement but Eddie just pulled you in closer, crashing his lips in for another kiss, holding you tightly against him. The others watched in embarrassment  at seeing you two so intimate but they didn't spoil the moment because they knew what still had to be done was just as dangerous.
