A fresh start (Eddie x fem y/n reader)

Wanna stay?

You didn't want to look over at Eddie, but you did for a small second, but his eyes were completely stuck to the movie, so you looked back and smirked.

It did feel nice, and safe. It made this whole experience a little bit better.

The movie finished and you could hear all the people in the movie theatre starting to chat about the movie and how hot Tom Cruise looked in it. Well.. all the girls talked about Tom Cruise, while all the guys started talking about all the amazing stunts and action scenes.

You packed everything up and grabbed your little bad, throwing it over your shoulder. You looked over at everyone in your group and they gave you a nod, showing that they were all ready to leave.

Walking out, you feel a hand on your shoulder, turning around with a little smile. "What do you think about the movie y/n?" Steve asked you while you walked outside, trying not to hit people while walking. There was quite a lot of people there, some leaving this movie and some getting ready for the next one.

"I liked it actually. I'm quite surprised because I didn't really think I would enjoy it that much." You answered just as you walked outside, standing there and waiting for the rest of the group. "I really loved it, but Henderson didn't shut up once during the movie. So I'm not going to sit next to him ever again" Steve chuckled out, making you laugh. "Yeah.. luckily Eddie didn't speak much.. he just.. yeah he was great. But a bit of a loud chewer when he gets all focused." You giggled nervously, thinking about the was he was touching you during the movie. It didn't really have to mean anything, did it?

You hadn't been that close to anyone in a while, and you knew that you could fall easily for someone, and you could fall extremely hard as well. The second someone touched you, cuddled you or gave you a compliment you could fall for them. And you could tell that it was starting to happen with Eddie.

And just as you talked about Eddie he showed up, talking to Dustin and laughing. Both you and Steve looked over at them with a little smile, but you didn't really want to look into Eddies eyes. So you looked at Dustin. "Did you enjoy it Dustin?"

"If I enjoyed it?! That's a dumb question! It was amazing! D-did you even see all the action scenes? The planes and stuff! It was awesome!" He said so excitingly while laughing and joking around with Eddie. It was so wholesome seeing the two of them, but looking over at Steve, he had a different expression across his face. He looked at the two of them, not laughing at all. He almost looked.. jealous? He turned so serious all of sudden. "Are you okay Steve?" You asked him, taking a step closer so the others wouldn't hear. "Yeah of course!" He turned to you and smiled. "But I have to go now; I'm driving all of them home so probably should get going."

"Yeah okay! It was amazing to hang out w-with you guys. Thank you for inviting me." You say softly to them all, kind of trying to look at everyone, even Max who didn't seem interested in you at all. But in some way it did look like she was enjoying herself and having a great time with everyone.. maybe she even enjoyed the movie?

"I-I can take you home y/n, I don't want you walking home now." Eddie said and took a little step towards you, trying his best not to look at everyone around to see their reaction. "There's a lot of weird people out there and you're a beautiful girl.. I just want you safe." He continued, hearing a little chuckle coming from Steve. Steve did understand that he should leave the two of you alone, so he waved goodbye and walked away, and pretty much everyone else followed since they were going home as well. Of course after saying goodbye to both you and Eddie, even giving out some hugs. At least a few of them.
