Eddie
She laid on her couch, pulling my jacket around her tighter as she shivered, closing her eyes drowsily and getting comfortable. I sat next to her and rubbed her arms, pulling her closer and warming her with my body heat. "What if I like puke on you or something?" She asked grossed out.

"Having a beautiful girl throw up blood and monster goo all over me? How fucking metal would that be?" I joked, getting more comfortable next to her.

Steve pulled a face that made her laugh. "Ew man, gross." He said pushing the wastebasket further from his feet.

"Listen, Steve, Nancy told me that you two wanted to get back together, I don't want to be a home-wrecker and I don't want to make all of this more confusing than it is to us."

"What? Delilah, you're not a home wrecker and I can't get back together with her she has Jonathan, don't worry." He said sitting on the opposite side of her smiling.

I felt her tense up next to me as a hurt look came across her face. "You can't get back together with her, but you would if there was no Jonathan. Steve, you clearly have feelings for her and vice versa, I don't know what I'm supposed to do with that."

"But I have feelings for you too Delilah, the same way you have feelings for me and Eddie! How is that fair?" Steve asked agitated.

"Steve I understand that doesn't seem fair but she's an ex, exes always make things like this more complicated! Especially when they feel things back." Delilah said quietly, looking down at her folded hands and sighing.

"You kissed Eddie too didn't you?" Steve asked quietly. Her face looked taken back, I stood up and moved to sit on the stairs, although I could still hear them I didn't have to see the scene of Harrington winning her back over when I thought that I'd gotten her finally.

"How did you know?" She asked guiltily like our kiss was a crime.

"You aren't the best at hiding things Delilah! I really really like you, okay, and I can't change your mind about things or people, but I've been acting like a real dick, to Eddie, to you. I thought going after Nance would make me stop feeling things for you but when I saw Eddie touching you when I thought of him kissing you, it made me go nuts." He said softly.

"Steve.."

"Hey it's okay, I don't need an answer from you, I don't need anything from you other than that you know that I'm still going to fight for you, the same way I fought a Russian guard, figured that was a good reference since I only really won that fight." He said laughing. She scoffed.

"Do you typically not win fights, Harrington?"

"Only the ones that aren't important." He said softly.

"And what do you think this fight is?"

"One of my more important ones."

  "Steve! Eddie! Where are you guys?" Nancy and Robin shouted from out on the street making me jump up from the stairs and run to the doorway, leaning outside and waving them down.

"Oh thank god you guys are alright, we thought you got like sucked up to the- holy shit it's so monster free in here!" Robin said looking around mesmerized.

"Ew holy fuck, what is that?" Nancy said recoiling away from the waste basket.

"That, is Delilah's monster vomit," I said standing behind her and sliding my hands from her waist to her hips, she smacked my hands away, giving me a playful smirk as she stood against the wall.

  "Monster vomit? Is that like a code word for a hangover or something?" Robin asked looking into the basket with wide eyes.

  "We think she's possessed by Vecna in some way, I mean it's just like Will, liking the cold, vomiting slugs, she's just vicious that's the difference," Steve explained smiling at her softly.
