EDDIE MUNSON IMAGINES

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

"______, we need your help!" mike said as he ran into the store with lucas close behind while will was being basically dragged along with the two of them. you looked up from the counter where you were doing a crossword puzzle, making eye contact with the three boys in front of you. 

"what's up?" you asked them, going back to writing a word in the blanks before filling it into the boxes above. your eyes were reading over the page, listening to what they had to ask of you.

"so, i might have semi-lied to my girlfriend, and i need help fixing it, but i don't know what to do," mike began rambling as you sighed, looking up at him once more. "we were going to get her a little teddy bear, some perfume, i mean, i don't know what else to do." 

"mhmm," you hummed, filling in another word before looking at the boys once more. "and what makes you believe that i know exactly what to do?" 

"because you've dated like hundreds of guys, _______, you have to know something," lucas replied. your eyes flickered to his momentarily. 

"i've only dated, like, five guys," you muttered.

"yeah, and steve harrington is one of them!" lucas replied, causing mike to shush him as you sighed, setting down the pencil. "come on, ______. he has to have messed up some time and did something to make up for it." 

"to be honest with you small children," you began, closing the crossword puzzle with the pencil marking where you were. "he's just been adult about it and apologized to me for whatever may have happened. i mean, communication is key to every relationship."

mike sighed.

"can i just buy her something?"

you laughed, reopening the crossword puzzle once more as you went back to writing down the word you were in the middle of figuring out. 

"yeah, of course you can. i don't know your girlfriend as well as i know you three, but who knows what she likes. i mean, what are some of her favorite things?" 

mike sighed as will began to aimlessly look off into the store that you worked at as lucas stared intently at you. he was curious to know what you were going to say, considering what he had done every time that max had broken up with him. 

"i mean, she likes eggos, she likes the television, she likes-"

you sighed. 

"this isn't going to help me much when you're naming the most simple things about her. look, maybe just take lucas' advice and find something as nice as you can afford for her because i'm not going to be much help," you replied. "shit, i have to go meet harrington."

you shut the crossword puzzle once more, grabbing your jacket as you handed your keys off to sydney before stepping out from behind the counter as the three boys began following you out of the store. you held the word search close by to your side, heading towards the stairs as you took them down a flight, seeing steve standing outside of scoops ahoy.

"you three little shits are stalking my girlfriend now?" steve asked, swinging his arm around your shoulder as he pulled you close, pressing a kiss to your cheek. 

"wheeler wants advice on how to handle the fact that he lied to his girlfriend," you explained, looking up at him before somebody caught your eye. they were walking off towards a clothing store. "eddie?" you muttered to yourself, staring at him the entire time he was walking into the store until you heard steve calling your name.

"you okay?" he asked as you looked up at him, briefly looking at the store once more. 

"yeah," you replied, nodding. "yeah, i'm good. i'm just going to go get a drink."
