TW: vecna related deaths, demobats, and injuries. Near death
Note: I'm not a medical professional so I apologize if there's an inaccuracies!
Eddie Munson really wanted to wake up from the current nightmare that was his life.
Unfortunately, Eddie was screwed about twenty different ways to hell. He was pretty sure he was already in hell, because why else would all this shit be happening ?
In what world would kill poor Chrissy Cunningham and force him to live with the guilt of not being able to save her. He wished he could've saved her.
And now he was still processing that there's another fucking dimension, with monsters the children named after DND characters. And apparently everyone in the group was aware of this.
Eddie couldn't even get to process that, because the basketball team decided he murdered Chrissy and that he needed to die. Which really wasn't too much different than normal except they were actively looking for him because they thought he would do such a thing.
So needless to say, Eddie was not having fun. Like -10/10 stars wouldn't ever recommend.
He supposed there might be a few plus sides, like hanging out with Steve. Though if Eddie had to pick a way to hang with his longtime crush it wouldn't have been like this.
However seeing those freaky bats hurt Steve was terrifying. Finding out Nancy Wheeler had multiple guns was shocking, and he made a mental note not to piss her off. And Robin was starting to make him paranoid about demobat rabies.
Was that a thing?
Now they were hiding out in Eddie's trailer. Careful not to make too much noise. But talking about whatever the hell Vecna showed Nancy.
The started to plan, and then decided everyone needed at least a few hours sleep before they started to act.
Eddie couldn't sleep, he couldn't on the best nights and this was far from a good night. At least he wasn't alone in his restlessness.
Steve was also awake, everyone else sleeping due to pure exhaustion. Eddie envied them and wondered if Steve felt the same.
"Cant sleep?" Eddie moved to where Steve was sitting against the door, like he was guarding the door.
"Yeah, it's just a lot happening tomorrow man."
"we're gonna have to finish figuring everything out."
Eddie nodded. After the hell that was the last few days, he should be falling asleep easily. And maybe the next day he could. But every time he closed his eyes he saw Chrissy. He doubted he was going to sleep any time soon.
"You should get some sleep Eds." Steve murmured gently.
Eds? Okay that was new, Eddie felt like he did the year before when they had that project together. His heart kept beating fast, at least for now it's due to Steve and not total terror.
"I can't Steve." He admitted.
Eddie jumped when he felt Steve's arm wrap around him. Pulling him close. Eddie loved touching, and so it seemed Steve did too.
"Umm Stevie whatcha doing there?" Eddie felt like his skin was on fire, he wanted to touch Steve back but held back.
"Sometimes cuddling helps, Robin and I figured it out after last summer. We both couldn't stand being alone at night."
Eddie looked over at where Robin was curled up against Nancy, it made him smile. He was glad they could comfort each other.
He wondered if Robin liked Nancy.
