Stone and Eddie (a Pearl Jam-ish fanfiction)

Chapter one

Stone Gossard

"Shit", I mumble as I drop my stack of books onto the gravel. I start picking them up but get interrupted.

"Need some help there?" A beautiful voice asks from above me. I look up at the beautiful man standing above me and my heart nearly melts. He has long curly brown hair flowing over his shoulders onto his shirt that says "The Cramps", a band, I'm assuming. His bubblegum pink lips curl up into a cute smile. But best of all are his eyes, a stunning ice blue that could melt anyone's heart.

"Uh, y-yeah, sure. Are you my roommate, I'm assuming?"

"If your roommate's name is Eddie Vedder, then yes. Nice to meet you. I would shake your hand but it looks like you have enough stuff in them." I look down and see that I'm holding my books, Polaroid camera, and Mountain Dew.

I chuckle. "Yeah, could you maybe get the door?"

"For sure", he says, leads me to the house and opens the creaky wooden door. As I walk in I see a guitar on the couch and just from seeing that, I know we're going to get along well.

"Nice guitar", I comment. "I left my guitar in the car, couldn't really carry it. How long have you been playing?"

"Since I was eight. Oh, and you play? That's cool. Uh", he says looking down at the stuff in my arms, "I'll show you your room. You probably want to set your things down." I nod and he leads me down a hallway in one of the two doors. The room has black curtains, a bed in the corner without a comforter, a dresser and a closet. Pretty plain, but with some cool posters and some tapestries I can give it some personality. Also a comforter would help.

"Cool. I'm gonna go get my guitar. Thanks for the help."

"What kind is it? The guitar?" Eddie asks when I come back.

"Just a plain acoustic. Nothing special." Unlike you, I think about Eddie. I go to set my guitar down in my room and come back to hear Eddie picking at his. "So who was your roommate before me?" I ask him.

"His name was Chris. We dated for about a year but I found out he was cheating on me with this guy named Mike so he moved out a week ago."

"Oh", I say uncomfortably. "I'm sorry. That same thing happened to me but my boyfriend, even though he cheated on me, refused to move out."

"Yeah, it sucks doesn't it?" I nod and he starts picking at the strings again, playing a beautiful melody. "You should seriously be in a band", I tell Eddie once he finishes. "You play amazingly. Do you sing?"

"Not in front of people, no. And why do you look familiar?" Should I tell him? I don't know, I've known him for like ten minutes...

"Uh, I'm in a band."

He bounces up and down like an excited kid on Christmas. "Ooooh really, what band?!"

"Mother Love Bone..."

"No fucking way! I love that band! Sorry, it's just really cool." I shrug my shoulders.

"Nah, it's not really a big deal."

"Well I think it's really damn cool." Ugh, is he a fanboy now? "Sorry", he says, catching on, "I'll stop bugging you about it."

"It's fine, I'd be going crazy if I met, I don't know, the Alice in Chains people."

"No way! I know Layne!" What?! This is the coolest. Thing. Ever. I just gape and he laughs at my expression. "I'll introduce you two sometime", he says with a grin. I literally could explode with happiness right now.

I decide to go to my room and play guitar instead though. As I'm in there in the middle of a song I sense Eddie from the crack of the door and without looking up say "You can come in if you want." The door slowly pushes open and he shyly walks over and sits down on the bed.

"Crown of thorns?" He asks. I nod and he pats the bed. "You really need sheets for this", he points out. "We have some extra in the hall closet."

"Cool." I start playing another Mother Love Bone song on guitar and he calls it out immediately.

"Gentle Groove", he states. I nod once more.

"You really study this shit, huh?" I ask him.

"Yeah, kinda", he admits. We both laugh. "I'm gonna go get some food, want some? Probably just from Wendy's." I tell him I'm good and he leaves me alone here. Might as well start unpacking then.
