Eddie Munson One Shots

My Umbrella

The school bell rings, signaling first period. You sit with your chin resting in the palm of your hand, already wanting to go home. It was a calm, cloudy morning in Hawkins, Indiana. It was almost like the weather was reminding this town of how insignificant it was.

You go through your classes per usual, as you sit in your senior history class, the door swings open and startles you. In came a guy with frizzy, long brown hair. Eddie Munson, his eyes searched for a place to sit, wanting to get his detention earned tardiness over with.

"Well look who decided to join, you've been at this school long enough Eddie. I figured you would've known your schedule by now." You teacher says passively, "Detention." She finishes as Eddie huffs, "Always a pleasure, Mrs. Knicks." He says with a sarcastic smile as he scans the rows for a seat. Kids moved their bags into empty ones so he couldn't sit, a silent way of shunning him.

The only seat left was next to you, after waiting for you to cover it, you didn't. He's slightly shocked, but he sits down beside you as your teacher continues. He gets out an old beat up notebook and a pen, smiling over at you.

He always seemed like the type that was rather standoffish, so when your eyes met him, it caught you off guard to have such a tough figure look so.. joyful. "Hey, y/n? is it?" He whispers to you, "What are we learning about?" He asks, his grin still ever present. You look down at your notes, "Uh.. the french revolution.." You whisper back. He rolls his eyes, "God.. this again? Isn't that with the queen who liked cake and takin' off heads?" Eddie says as he leans back in his chair, you give him a nod in response.

"That's so metal.." He says as he turns his attention to the front, his comment making you giggle. However, your amusement of Eddie was a lot louder than you anticipated, because your teacher and classmates all fixated their eyes at you. "Something about this is comical, y/n?" Your teacher barks from the front of the classroom. Your smile drops in an instant, a wave of embarrassment coming over you as your cheeks flush a deep red.

"Uh, no.. no ma'am." You stammer out. "Well maybe you can tell me after school, in detention." She says sternly, you feel your body go cold. Detention?  You've never had detention in your life! But now that this stupid guy decides to sit next to you, you got detention along with him. Once your teacher is done scolding you, and the giggles of your classmates have subsided, you leaned back in your chair, your blood boiling about Eddie.

You gaze out the window as you saw the rain drops start to appear on the glass outside. "Sorry.." Eddie says with a slight chuckle, but you ignore his sarcastic apology, never meeting his gaze after that. Once the bell rings you make a beeline for the door, pushing open the wooden frame as you bolt out of the classroom angrily. You finally arrive at your locker, putting your history textbook and notebook away, grabbing your things for english next period. "Hey, you alright?" A deep voice says from behind you. You whip your head to see Eddie, he's leaning against the lockers next to yours.

Just like you should've done in the first place, you turn your head back, ignoring him. "Oh come on, you've never gotten a detention before?" He protests, obviously annoyed at your quietness. "No, as a matter of fact I haven't, and I really don't want another, so please leave me alone." You snap as you shut your locker. He stares at you, seemingly unfazed by your words as another grin appears on his face. "You know, I don't think I've ever told you this, or anything really.." He says, inching closer to you, "but..you're cute when you're angry." He purrs, sending electricity up your body.

You didn't utter another word, but the blush on your face told him everything, "I guess I'll see you in detention, sweetheart." He says one last time before walking off, leaving you in a whirlwind of emotions.

Once the final bell rung it was usually time for you to walk home, but you couldn't, you had detention. You begrudgingly stomped over to your history classroom, when you got in, Eddie was already there, his feet up on his desk as he leaned back in the chair. "Thank you for coming, Mrs. Y/l/n." Your teacher says, her eyes soft. She knew you weren't a bad kid, you just slipped up. "Just please go over the notes from today and sit quietly." She shoots you a small smile, you return it, sitting in your usual chair.

You get out your notebook and begin to scan the notes you took, "Eddie, do you have your notebook?" Mrs. Knicks asks him as she rests her arms on her desk. He smiles at her, rummaging through his tattered backpack, pulling out the same notebook from earlier. "Fine, just do the same as y/n is doing." She says as she returns to doing her grading. He looks over at you, giving you a small wave. You roll your eyes as you continue to study, the rain tapping against the windows was calming white noise.

After a while you look out at all the students that have left, a few stragglers were seen through the glass, warped by the water. "Y/n, since I know you've never gotten detention, if you answer this right, I'll let you go home early. I'll also wipe this from your record." She says abruptly. "What years did the french revolution take place?" She asks, you gaze over at her from the window. "1789.. to um, 1794?" You reply, a smile appears on her face. "I'll see you in class tomorrow.." She says kindly as you get up, a wave of relief overcoming you.

As you're at the door, you hear, "I want one to be able to go!" It was Eddie, you turned to see your teacher thinking, and finally she gives in. "Alright Eddie.. who is Marie Antoinette?" She questions, Eddie's face goes blank. You started to feel bad, so when his eyes meet yours, you play a small game of charades. Motioning putting something on your head, a crown. Then looking like you're in pain as you hold your neck, like someone was hurting it. Like magic, Eddie caught your hints. "She was the queen.. the one who loved cake and taking off people's heads." He says proudly, your teacher considers his answer, finally letting him go.

Eddie happily jumps from his seat as you walk out the doors, reaching the entrance to Hawkins High. The rain was still coming down, so you grabbed your emergency umbrella, walking outside as the fabric covers you. You start to walk around campus, putting off going home and explaining your detention to your parents. When in the distance, you see a figure appear. It was Eddie, the rain pouring down on him as he stood there. You wanted to leave him, he made you get detention after all. But, if you were caught in the pouring rain, would you want to be left alone?

After some thought, you walked over, covering him with your umbrella as well as you. "You got a ride home?" You ask him over the noise of the rain. "Possibly, if my uncle shows." He grumbles, finally seeing the umbrella over him as he feels the rain stop falling on him. "Want me to walk you home?" You ask hesitantly, he stares back at you puzzled. "The fantastically smart, goody two-shoes y/n wants to walk me home?" He says, the corners of his mouth lifting as he looks down at you. The blush returns to your face, but you do your best to play it off. "Just being nice, Eddie. Make up your mind before I leave you out here." You reply wittily, returning the smile.

Eddie lets out a soft chuckle, giving in to your kindness, "Fine, I would like that." He finally says as you both start to walk, your body feels hot being so close to him as you step in sync. "So, thanks, for helping me get out of that." Eddie says, breaking the silence between you both, you shoot him a kind smile. "No problem, we actually.. make a pretty good team." You say, biting your lip as you finish your sentence. You feel an arm snake around your waist, "I think I agree, sweetheart." His voice was low, but gentle. "Study buddies?" He asks, you give him a small nod. "Fine, study buddies." You give a small giggle as you walk through the rain, watching cars pass as you two continue to talk.
