The school bell rings, Dustin and Eddie are strolling the halls of Hawkins High. "So? Who is she?" Dustin pesters as they walk down the hall.

"Don't worry about it dude, will you cut the shit?" Eddie snaps as he shoves his hands in his pockets nervously. "Come on Eddie, you just told our entire club that you had a girlfriend, I wanna know!" He whines in protest as Eddie stops at his locker.

His eyes nervously scan around the hall, finally spotting you as you rummage through your locker. "It's uh, her. Y/n, you know her?" He muttered in a timid voice.

"Y/n?? Y/n Mayfield?!" Dustin exclaims as Eddie shushes him quickly. "No one really.. knows yet.." He cautions, looking around the hall.

'Not even her..'  He thinks to himself.

"Well, can we say hi?" Dustin asks without waiting for a reply, "She knows me, I'm sure it'll be fine." He finishes as he's already walking towards you. Eddie's eyes widen as he follows Dustin's trail, his mind racing about what to do next.

"Hey y/n!" Dustin hollers as you turn your head to him. He never really talked to you unless he was with Max, so it struck you off color to see him with Eddie, a friend of yours in your grade and in your classes. Good friend, always managed to help you stay out of trouble unless you were doing it together. He lived across the way from you in the trailer park, so his loud music always kinda annoyed you.

"Oh uh, hey Henderson, what's up?" You greet the guys. "What's up, Munson?" your eyes fixing over to Eddie's as he's making his way close to you, pulling you into a giant hug.  You squirm, struggling to hug back, not really sure what to do.

"Please just play along sweetheart. I'll make it up to you at some point.. Be my girlfriend.." He whispers sheepishly as he deepens the hug for you to reciprocate.

Hesitantly, you wrap your arms around his jacket and vest covered torso, he kisses you on the head, which doesn't help your confusion. He pulls away, his arm still draped over your shoulders, Dustin stares at you guys.

"So? How long has this been.. uh, this?" He interrogates, you look up at Eddie who's face is pale.

Your eyes soften as Eddie looks back at you, you decide to comply, knowing he owed you big time. "Not too long, we're not really used to PDA yet.." You reply wittily as you kiss Eddie's cheek, "But we're getting the hang of it, right babe?" 

He turns his attention to you with a wide smile, "Correct again, my princess." He leans in and gently locks lips with you. As soon as he does your body froze up, this was your first kiss.

Your first kiss was Eddie Munson.

When you snap out of your trance, Eddie was pulling away, but you gently grab his face and pull him back in. He happily kisses you once more as Dustin scoffs in disgust, signaling you both to pull away.

"Okay.. okay I get it.. Jesus. I'm gonna go to class, catch you love birds at lunch." He says, walking off with a wave. Once Dustin was out of sight you ripped Eddie's arm off you, looking at him with annoyance and confusion.

"You better let me in on what's up Munson, or the next thing touching your lips is my fist." You threatened as he plays with his rings anxiously. He looks at the ground, and for the first time this outspoken burnout seemed shy, almost apprehensive.

"Okay.. look.. I told the hellfire guys that I got a girlfriend.." He said, never averting his eyes from the hallway tiles. "Why did you tell them that? and why me?" You interject to cut his stalling.

"You want to know or not?" He spoke quickly, "Anyways, all of them were talking about it and I just, I needed to say something." 

His cheeks flushed red as he shifted from one leg to another to lean on, "I chose you because you're like the only girl I know that isn't scared of me, and who I actually consider a friend." He finished.

"Well.. I just don't think you can use me as your pawn to just like kiss and stuff.." You stumble out, your face getting warm as the conversation continues. However you couldn't tell if it was anger or not.

It felt different.

"I just need to do it for a little while, like a month. Just enough to get them to believe it. We can even plan the breakup if you want." He returns his gaze to you. "I just need you to go with it for now." He repeated, his deep brown eyes gazing into yours.

With a sigh, you leaned your back against the lockers, never breaking your eye contact.  "You owe me big time Munson. Big. Time. " As he smiles in relief, he gives you a giant hug.

"Then I'll see you for lunch?" He asks. "I'll have to check my schedule.." You mutter as you turn to close your locker. He snakes his arms around your waist, his rough and ringed hands gently gliding over your torso.

"Sweetheart, you run with me now.. You'll have to clear a lot on your schedule." He purrs, you feel your face getting that familiar warm feeling as he gently kisses your cheek. You watch him leave, keeping his eyes on you as he walks backwards away, shooting you a small wink.

"God dammit.." You scold yourself as you make your way to class.

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

Once lunch came around you stood back at your locker to put away your books and grab your lunch. You see a familiar five-foot-ten figure stroll towards you.

"Aren't you a sight for sore eyes, how was class, angel?" Eddie purrs as he rests his side against the lockers. "You're really getting into this role Munson.." You reply as he rolls his eyes, however,  he does notice people starting to stare skeptically.

He pulls you in by the loops of your jeans, kissing you passionately until he knew the morons stopped staring. He pulls away and you stare up at him, he just smirks at how flustered you get.

"Yeah we're going to have to regulate that.. start uh.. limiting you sir.." You grumble as you try to hide your face. He catches your chin with his index finger, making you look back at him. 

"That's why you  need to get into your role as well, so that doesn't happen." He quipped, knowing he was right. "Unless.. you want  that to happen.." He proposes as you roll your eyes.

"That is for emergencies only, got it?" You say with your rosy cheeks. Eddie nods, the rule much to his dismay. "Fine.. Lunch?" He says, draping his arm around you, closing your locker as he does. You scoff jokingly, you've never thought of Eddie like that, but this doesn't seem too bad. 'It's not real.'  You thought to yourself as you walked. 'It's temporary.'

As you're walking, Eddie shifts his hand to the back pocket of your jeans, smiling down at you as people stared.

"Let's go, sweetheart." He purrs as you follow.

To Be Continued..
