after class eddie walked back to his locker, putting  his bag in his locker and grabbing his black lunchbox.

he headed towards the bathroom to smoke, he entered the bathroom checking every stall to see if anyone was in there with him.

once he was done he pulled out his pre-rolled blunts and lit one.

the smell of weed immediately spilled all over the bathroom and he didn't care. after smoking the first one he lit another one.

he heard the bathroom door open and close and moments later a taller boy stood in front of him.

'eddie, hey man.' steve smiled softly at eddie.

'oh steve what's up.' eddie felt relieved it wasn't a teacher, it was just his friend steve.

eddie looked at steve while steve did the same, awkward silence filling the whole bathroom and steve finally broke it asking for a blunt.

'hey do you mind if i-' he pointed towards one of the blunts in eddie's lunchbox.

'no, no you're fine, take one.' eddie grabbed a blunt handing it to steve.

steve put the blunt between his lips and leaned on the wall.

'well, the blunt isn't gonna light it's self eddie.' steve playfully rolled his eyes.

eddie sighed getting up and walking over to steve, he flicked the lighter and lit the blunt for steve. eddie didn't notice how close they were, until steve blew smoke in his face.

eddie laughed and returned to his spot and started inhaling the strong weed.

the two boys sat in silence smoking and taking small glances at each other, steve felt a knot in his stomach get tighter everytime he stared at eddie.

after they finished the blunts, they walked out the bathroom to see people staring at them, all wondering why steve was hanging out with the freak.

the staring made eddie really uncomfortable, he walked around everyone and leaving steve to fend for himself.

he got to his locker and grabbed his stuff ready to leave when he felt a hand grip his shoulder. he expected the worst and turned around.

'eddie wanna hang out at my place.' Steve's face wore a light pink around his cheeks. almost if he was asking eddie out on a date

'sure man, i'll just tell garreth something came up.' eddie turned back grabbing the rest of his stuff.

they both walked out the school and got in steve's car.

arriving at steve's house, eddie was in awe. it was honestly 10x better than his rusty old trailer.

eddie and steve got out the car, steve walked up to the door unlocking it.

'welcome to my humble abode.' steve jogged up stairs into his room, leaving eddie to wander.

he didn't actually he just sat on the couch, waiting for steve to return.

after 5 minutes steve came down stairs with black and dark blue swimming trunks, throwing the black ones to eddie.

'get up munson, we're hanging out in the back.' steve pointed to his pool outside.

'steve i don't know, i don't wan-' eddie wanted to swim but he was self conscious about his chest.

'eddie you don't have to take off the binder, i understand. let's just have some fun.' steve grabbed eddie's hand pulling him off the couch.

eddie went into the bath room to change, steve went into his room. after changing they went out in the back.

steve cannonball while eddie watched on the side, he dipped his toes in.

'come on dude get in.' steve shouted to eddie.

eddie rolled his eyes playfully and got in the water.

goosebumps ran across his skin immediately, he started to shiver cause he didn't adjust to the temperature of the water.

'you cold? come here.' swam over to eddie, wrapping his arms around eddie's waist and eddie blushed looking away from steve.

'why are you being so nice today?' eddie mumbled.

'cause, i dunno, you look like you might freeze.' steve chuckled lightly into eddie's neck.

the warmth from steve's chest made eddie smile. steve and eddie pulled away and began to play pool games.

eddie was the first to get out, he grabbed the towel of the pool chair and steve gawked at eddie's body, he was infatuated.

'take a picture it'll last longer steve.' eddie smirked and threw steve a towel.

'you wanna go inside?' steve started to throw the towel over his head.

'yeah come on, SIKE!' while steve had the towel over his face eddie pushed him in the pool and ran in the house and into steve's room.

'oh your dead munson.' steve quickly rushed behind the boy.

a soon as eddie reached the door and opened it, steve tackled eddie to the bed.

eddie put steve in a head lock and started to give him a noogie. steve broke out and pinned eddie's wrists to the bed.

their faces now inches away from each other, for the third time today.

eddie hissed a little as steve ran his fingers over eddie's cuts on his wrist.

steve shot him a shocked expression, 'eddie why did you do this?'

'it's nothing, i don't wanna talk about it.' eddie curled his lips thin looking away from steve.

steve got off of eddie and laid next to him, searching for the right words to say.

'well please don't hurt yourself eddie, people care about you, i care about you.' steve said placing his hand on eddie's stomach.

'ok i just felt- never mind just leave it alone steve.' eddie turned on his side.

'do you want to spend the night?' steve asked, but then he heard eddie start snoring.

steve looked at eddie's face smiling softly, just admiring his features. eddie's beauty could put steve to sleep and it did just that.
