Would you love a creature? - Eddie Munson x Y/N

Chapter 9

Y/N

When you wake up the next day Eddie has already left for school. You stretch out on the bed and feel a piece of paper next to you where Eddie sleeps.

"Y/N, it's Friday so I might be home a little later, I've got band practice. I'll try and get out of it but don't worry if I'm not back on time. Eddie"

You put the note on the table next to the bed and get up, following your normal routine. Shower and brush your teeth, get dressed, make the bed then the day is yours.
You sit on the couch trying to read but your mind isn't in it. You keep going back to last nights conversation with Eddie. You could tell from his mannerisms there was something he kept to himself, something he left out of his explanation but you didn't know what.
He had looked so shocked, if they were normal feelings then why did he look so surprised. Did he not think you were friends?

You put the book down and stare around the room, looking for something else to do that might distract you from your thoughts.
You slide onto the floor and over to the cabinet in the corner that houses Eddies VHS tapes. You scan through them, all the ones in your eye-line you've seen, then you're drawn to a row at the back that you've never noticed before.
You pull the front row of tapes out of the cabinet and scan the new ones.
"Hollywood Heartbreakers, Kinky Business, New Wave Hookers" you read aloud, pulling one of the tapes out and inspecting the cover.
You stare at the cover of a film titled Cafe Flesh, a half naked woman splashed across it.

Weird, I wonder why I've never seen this part of his collection before?

You put the tape in and press play, sitting back on the couch and watching. The next hour and half your mind goes into a tailspin. There was nudity in the horror movies you watched but nothing like this. It was graphic and it pushed that fluttering in your stomach down to between your legs. As you watched you started to imagine it was you and Eddie, this confused you even further. You wanted Eddie to do these things to you but you couldn't explain why, the noises the woman was making sounded like she was enjoying it. Is it possible for someone to touch you and feel that good?

Deep in concentration of the movie you don't hear the front door of the trailer click open and someone enter. It isn't until the door slams shut and someone you don't know is staring at you that your focus shifts away from your new fantasy and onto the stranger.
"Who the fuck are you and why are you in my home?"

Eddie

I couldn't get out of practice, I tried but there were too many questions I didn't know how to answer. No-one could know about Y/N so the less I had to explain the better.
It was gone 6 by the time I got home and I was anxious she would be worried. She been doing so well I didn't want to push her back to how she was by scaring her.
As I walked into the trailer my hackles rise when I see Uncle Wayne's toolbag on the kitchen side. My eyes wander around until I spot them both on the couch. Y/N is looking at me, curled into the corner of the couch with her knees hugged into her body and Wayne is staring at me with his arms crossed in front of his chest.

"I leave for a week for work, work that feeds us and keeps a roof over our head, and I come back to find you've taken in a random girl?" He says, the annoyance in his voice made me cringe.
"It's not what it looks like" I start.
"I don't want to hear a load of lies. Who is she? A new girlfriend?" He asks me.
I try to find the words but I can't, not without lying or without blowing her cover.
I look to her, pleading with my eyes, begging her to let me tell him.
She shakes her head, knowing instantly what that look means.
I walk over to her on the couch and crouch down in front of her, I place my hand on her knee to let her know I'm here and it's safe.
"Y/N this is my uncle, he won't hurt you, he's one of the good guys. We can trust him I promise" I tell her, keeping my voice as calm as I can.
"Eddie I got home to her watching fucking porn in my living room" Wayne hisses.
I look at her for confirmation, receiving only a confused look. "What's porn? I was watching a movie?" you respond.
Wayne looks incredibly taken aback by the bizarre interaction happening in front of him and jumps to his feet, he's has enough of the bullshit.
"Eddie tell me what's going on right now" he demands, his voice slowly getting louder.

I feel her knee start to tremble against my hand. Her eyebrows knit as the pain she said she gets in her head starts to build.
"No no no Y/N please, I promise he's fine!" I tell her, panic setting in as I realise she's about to lose it again.
Her hands raise to her ears as her eyes clench shut. I push Wayne out of the way just in time as an ear piercing scream comes from her throat and all the furniture and objects in the room are pulled forwards, slamming into each other in the centre of the living room floor.
I stand in the kitchen with Wayne, a look of pure shock on his face as I desperately try to explain something I can't, only small noises coming from me as words fail me completely.

I run over to the couch to check she's ok, a small stream of blood stems from her nose which I wipe away with my thumb, rubbing it on my jeans as I try and clean her up enough for Wayne to not get extra freaked out.
She opens her eyes and stares straight into mine, she looked exhausted.
"Ok, we can tell him" she whispers.
