Y/N x Eddie Munson

Chapter 14 - Green Eyed Munson

Y/N POV

Friday

Despite its rocky start, this week has gone pretty well. With a pageant-mom level of enthusiasm Steve has been attempting to teach me how to flirt with Eddie more openly. Not all of my attempts had gone so great, but I felt there had been improvement...

Last Tuesday

"Don't think about it too much okay? Just walk over there and flirt, You do remember what I told you?" Steve grips my shoulders, tilting his head waiting for a response.

"Yes I remember; Eye contact, laugh at his jokes and at least try to make some physical contact" I roll my eyes as I reel off his advice.

"Exactly, and remember if he doesn't take the hint, he's the idiot" He smiles, squeezing my shoulders before spinning me and pushing me off towards Eddie.

He had his back to me as I approached, I've had so many conversations with him, I've slept in his bed, why am I so nervous? It all felt really real all of a sudden my heart fluttered in my chest as I prepared myself to flirt with Eddie.

"Hey Eddie I...."

WHACK!

I'm knocked backwards to the floor, very ungracefully landing on my ass.

Ouch.

I reach up to rub my now sore forehead where Eddie had unknowingly swung open his locker, nailing me between the eyes as If I'd walked directly into a lamp post. I sit there dazed for a few seconds before he notices me on the floor, quickly whipping off his headphones filling the hallway with the distant tinny sound of Black Sabbath that had been playing in his ears.

"OMG Y/N, are you okay?"

"oh um, I'm not sure" I reply still slightly stunned by the impact.

"Come on sweetheart, up you get" he says bemused. "Did you come over to ask me something?" he gently moves my hair from my face inspecting the bump.

"Errrrr, yeah I think so" searching my memory for what the game plan we had so meticulously planned before had been. Oh yeah, that was it. "I was wondering, after Corroded Coffin on Friday, if you maybe wanted to hang out again"

"Sure, I'll ask Grant and the others what they're doing after"

"oh, um, actually...I thought maybe WE could hangout, you know, just the two of us" I look up at him through my lashes, Is he blushing?

"I'd love to" he smiles, before gently closing his locker. "I've got to run to class, maybe get some ice on that" his eyes flicking up to my head before returning my gaze with a wink as he walks away. Moments later, Steve emerges behind me, hands clamping down on my shoulders.

"Not a bad start" he reassures, "But when I said physical contact I didn't mean with the locker"

Friday

I shudder back to reality my cheeks flushed with a secondary wave of embarrassment from the memory. Gah! Why have I started to get more nervous around him, it's just Eddie, mentally scolding myself as I approach my locker. Opening it I am greeted by a small note fluttering out to the floor. Unfolding it I discover it's from Eddie himself Speak of the devil.

Don't forget Corroded Coffin tonight fan girl. I can't wait, you're going to be great. Meet you at the van after school? I got some movies for us for after if you still want to hang out. 

 – Eddie

A lovestruck smile graces my lips as I read the note, He got us movies I coo to myself, forgetting my surroundings and musing on how I might be more flirty this evening after the jam.
