Eddie Munson/Joseph Quinn POVs

Friends to Lovers

I sighed as I trudged through the woods to the old abandoned picnic bench. My best friend, Eddie, often went there after school to deal so I knew there was a high chance of him being there. I had decided today was going to be the day I admitted my feelings for him and I wanted to do it before chickening out.

As I got closer I could hear giggling and I pulled a face as I recognised who the horrible laugh belonged to. I walked faster and soon enough my eyes settled on Eddie and Chrissy Cunningham sitting at the bench. Chrissy had her back to me and seemed to be oblivious to any sound I had made. Eddie had a small smile on his face as they chatted but as soon as his eyes landed on me they lit up and he grinned.

"Scythe!" I couldn't help but return the smile as he used my D&D nickname. Chrissy finally turned round and my smile got wider as she scowled at me.

"Eddie, baby!" I replied, sitting down next to him and resting my arm on his shoulder. I chuckled as he grimaced at the word 'baby', knowing he hated it. Not only did he hate it but it also seemed to annoy the wide eyed cheerleader which was a bonus.

"I thought you said we would be alone, Eddie." Chrissy whined, making me want to punch her in the face.

"No need to worry, Little Miss Perfect. I'm not going to tell anyone you're doing drugs!" I gave her the fakest smile I could before turning my body slightly to face Eddie. "Pretend I'm not here."

Eddie placed his lunchbox on the table and started to go through what he had with Chrissy. He didn't seem to notice the flirty looks she was giving him which I was thankful for. I shook my head at her and grabbed a cigarette out of my pocket. As I felt around for my lighter I internally groaned as I realised I must have dropped it somewhere in the woods. Then an idea popped into my head and I looked Chrissy dead in eye, giving her my best smirk.

I kept my eyes on her, making sure she watched as I reached into Eddies front jean pocket to grab his pocket. Unsurprisingly she glared at me and I fought the urge to grin at her and stick up my middle finger.

As I started to pull the lighter out I felt my hand graze against something and when I heard Eddie gasp quietly I realised what it was. I pretended not to notice and lit my cigarette before I put his lighter back in his pocket, this time grazing his dick on purpose.

After that I kept my hands to myself and just listened as they settled on a substance and a price. Chrissy tried to linger but thankfully Eddie insisted she leave and I watched as she huffed and stormed off. Once she was out of sight I turned round to look at Eddie and immediately found myself being pushed up against a tree.

"What are you playing at?" He asks, his beautiful brown eyes starting to darken.

"I have no clue what you're talking about, Eddie." I said as innocently as I could but failed when he pressed himself up against me.

"Cut the crap! You feel that? Thats your doing! Were you just trying to piss Chrissy off?"

I sighed and looked up at the tree tops, wondering if now was the best time to tell him. After a few seconds of contemplating I looked back at him and gave him a sheepish look. "Maybe I was jealous."

"Jealous? Why would you be jea..."

I couldn't take it any longer. His gaze was intense, his lips looked so inviting and his lower half was still pressed up against me. Without thinking too much about it I wrapped my hand around the back of his neck pulled his head closer, capturing his lips with mine. He didn't kiss back at first, obviously taken by surprise but thankfully, after a few seconds, he started to. I had imagined our first kiss to be sweet and soft but this kiss? This kiss was passionate and filled with desire.
