Eddie Munson imagines

this is why I love you - imagine

      Throughout the day in school, you were full of anxiety, which doesn't normally happen to you. I mean, sometimes you might get symptoms of anxiety but nothing really that bad. The crowded halls full of students made you feel like you couldn't breathe. In class you would be bouncing your leg up and down uncontrollably. You would get startled by the bell when it would ring because you would be dissociative during class. You couldn't concentrate, your eyes would shift, and you felt like you were dreaming. Long story short, you just felt awful.

On your way to your locker you felt trapped. Anxiety has so many symptoms, but it gets to the point where you can't describe them all.

You open your locker shaking as you grab a few books for your next class. Closing the door, you find Eddie behind it, scaring you slightly.

"Jeez, Eddie," you exhale deeply.

"Sorry sweetheart," he frowns, taking your hand and kissing it gently.

You smile weakly at him. You close your eyes, taking another deep exhale.

"You okay?" He asks softly.

"I'm fine," you lied. You didn't want Eddie to worry about you.

However, Eddie knew something was wrong as he tilted his head in concern. Eddie could see right through you.

"-Earth to Y/n," Eddie waves his hand in front of your face.

"What?" You blink fast, waking up back into reality.

"I said do you wanna skip?" He asks.

You smiled at him, nodding yes. Finally! Freedom from school. You could actually get some fresh air. Eddie takes your hand and you both walk outside, you and Eddie laugh looking back to see if there are teachers following you.

You guys end up in the woods sitting on a picnic table. You wrap your arms around Eddies and rest your head on his shoulder. You breathe in the fresh air of the outside, Eddie takes out a cigarette and lights it with his lighter.

"What's going on sweetheart?" Eddie asks softly and hands you the lit cigarette. You take the cigarette and inhale the bitter taste.

"I don't know," you sigh. "I just don't feel like myself today,"

"I get it," Eddie nods understandingly.

"Do you ever get anxious?" You ask lifting your head off of his shoulder.

"Oh, all the time," he smiles.

"How do you deal with it?"

"Uhhh, sometimes I just try to ignore it. Other times I think of things that make me happy." He says.

"Ah,"

Eddie takes the cigar out of your hand and inhales it.

"What are some things that make you happy?" He asks.

"Um, you obviously," you smile as Eddie huffs out a laugh.

Eddie places the cigar behind him and grabs you bringing you into a hug. You breathe in his scent of cologne mixed with weed, for some reason you found it calming.

"What would I do without you," you say softly.

"I will always be here for you, sweetheart," he whispers.

"I know," you begin. "And that's why I love you," you place a soft kiss on his lips, and then hug him tightly again.

Eddie stands up, you still tangled up with him as he walks to his van.
