One-shots and Imagines

Eddie Munson - Scars

You were in your dorm.

You were just wearing black, baggy jeans and black jog bra.

You didn't usually wear stuff like this, but Eddie was asleep, so you just prayed to God he didn't wake up, and see all the scars, and lashes, on your stomach, and back.

You were playing your electric guitar.

Eddie was a hard sleeper.

You started playing "I Think I'm OKAY" which was a song you'd been writing for a while now (The song's actually by Machine Gun Kelly, YUNGBLUD, and Travis Barker).

"I guess it's just my life and I can take it if I wanna," you sang in your boy-sounding voice, "But I cannot hide in the hills of California, because these hills have eyes, and I got paranoia. I hurt myself sometimes, is that too scary for ya?"

Eddie started to wake up, but you didn't notice and kept playing and singing.

"Watch me, take a good thing, and fuck it all up in one night," you continued, "Catch me, I'm the one on the run away from the headlights. No sleep, up all week wasting time with people I don't like. I think that something's fucking wrong with me"

Eddie finally sat up and looked at you, and the whips, scratches, scars, and lashes all over your body.

It was obvious that the scars were from a year or two ago and they would never heal.

"Roll me up and smoke me, love and we can fly into the night," you kept singing, "Roll me up and smoke me, love, and we can fly into the night-"

Your eyes finally found their way to Eddie's gaze.

You tried to cover your scars with your hands but failed miserably.

He walked over and sat next to you.

He lifted up the part of his shirt, revealing a scar about just as long as his middle finger.

You didn't know how to feel: sympathized, sorrowful, sad, anxious.

"Scars," he explained, "are a sign that you went through something absolutely horrible..."

"And-" you started.

"But," he corrected, "You made it through, and came back even stronger than before."

You smiled wide.

"I'm guessing that's where you got those muscles," he chuckled.

You both took a moment to laugh about it.

"I...guess I never thought about it that way," you smiled at him.

He rested his hand on your back.

You winced and pushed his arm away.

There was a flesh wound on your back, from your right shoulder to your left hip.

"Sorry," you apologized, realizing what you did, as he examined your back, "It's just...a little sensitive."

"It's fine, I should've checked if you were okay with it, first," he replied.

"Thanks...for this pep talk," you said after a long silence, "...I needed it."

You both turned to each other.

There was a long moment of quiet.

"Can I kiss you?" Eddie asked, all of a sudden.

"Y-yeah-"

Before you could finish, he gave you a peck on the lips.

You looked at him surprised.

"Permission for another kiss?" he smirked.

This time, you leaned in and gave him a passionate kiss.
