Secret Santa || Eddie Munson

"Aaaand, there!" You cheerfully said placing down the last piece of silverware and center piece on the table. You smiled at yourself as you looked down at the dinning room table and looked from left to right. You proudly placed your hands on your hips and studied your beautifully decorated table ready for dinner.

"Perfect." You hear Eddie's voice appear in your ear. He slides his hands from behind you and wraps them around your waist while he leans in and kisses your neck. You feel your cheeks turn a bit hot and smiled even more, leaning back against Eddie and giggled. "Just like you." He adds, resting his chin on your shoulder as he admires the decorated table. You playfully hit Eddie on his side with your elbow. "Oh you." You say before turning around to wrap your hands behind his neck. You eye him from head to toe and you couldn't help but feel your heart skip a beat and your eyes light up with excitement.

"Oh my goodness look at you! How adorable!" You coo, grabbing his collar and running your hands over his chest to feel the material of his black ugly Christmas sweater covered in reindeer skulls and musical notes. You gasp looking at how well he wore your gift you gave him. "Oh wow it fits nicely!" You add. He chuckles and caresses your waist with his hands. "And it's comfy and I love it just like I love you." He said while admiring your smile. "Oh I can't wait to wear mine." You said happily while thinking about your ugly Christmas sweater that Eddie got you. Eddie's eyes widened and he quickly gasped. "Wait don't forget my socks too!" He cheers looking down at his feet. He pulls his jean pant leg up and points to his socks, showing you his 'The Grinch' themed socks. You scrunch your nose and chuckle. "Love it!" You reply. He lets go of his pant leg and looks back up at you with a bright smile. "Oh Y/N you've really outdone yourself again this year." He says raising his hands up in the air and points around.

You blushed and played with your fingers. "Yeah well I figured." You said looking at the dinning room table. You then looked at the living room that had Christmas lights around the ceiling, your stocking next to Eddie's under the fire place, and the white and red themed Christmas tree in the corner. "Why not have our first place decorated for the holidays?" You added. Eddie stood in front of you in awe. He admired you even in your snowman kitchen apron that you had on just now. "Well I love it. I love everything that you've done to our place and even the little gingerbread cookies that I know you made because judging from your apron." He says pointing towards your apron. "Looks like you made enough to feed all of Hawkins." He finishes with a chuckle.

You playfully rolled your eyes and chuckled. "I wanted to make sure I had enough for tonight." You replied. Eddie started rubbing his belly. "Yeah well looks like I'm going to have a cookie coma after dinner." He says before running up to you to grab you by your sides to pick you up and spin you around. The room filled with laughter while you playfully and politely ask Eddie to place you down. "Eddie please! Our friends will be here any minute and I'm not ready!" You whined. Eddie ignored you and carried you over to the living room and placed you down on the couch before tackling you. He gets on top of you and bombards you with kisses while he tickles your sides. You couldn't help but laugh and playfully fight with him. "Eddie! Oh-okay!" You said laughing. He placed his lips against yours and gave you a slow soft kiss and stops tickling you. He takes his hand and caresses your face and softly says "You know I love you right?"

Your laughter dies down after you look at him. You run your hands through his hair and felt your cheeks blush and your heart skip a beat or two. "Of course I do." You replied. He smiled. "Do you know that I also love you?" You asked. "Hmmmm." Eddie says playfully as he placed a finger on his lips. You gasped and your eyes widened. "Eddie!" You say offended while lightly tugging on a strand of his hair. He cracks a smile and chuckles. "I'm Kidding! I'm kidding!" He replies. You playfully rolled your eyes and crossed your arms. "I one hundred percent know you love me." He said. "And I ninety-nine point nine percent know I love you." You tell him. Eddie raises an eyebrow. "And that one percent?" He asks. "What about it? That's for Steve's hair" You playfully answer with a wink. Eddie's eyes widened and his mouth hung open in shock. "Oh that's it." He says as he lowers himself towards your stomach. Your eyes widened. "No Eddie." You quickly say in a panic. Eddie quickly grabs your apron and shirt and lifts it up to reveal your bare stomach. Without even thinking he instantly attaches his lips on your stomach and blows into it, blowing raspberries onto your stomach.
