Smitten by the Flower {Eddie Kaspbrak} [1]

16

Laughter rings in the air as we all tell jokes and embarrassing stories.

My fingers are laced with Eddies, and I slowly come to realize that he's been awfully quiet for the past few minutes. Turning my head to check on him, I find that he is staring straight at me.

He's looking at me as if I was the best thing that ever happened to him. A blush sweeps my cheeks, and I tilt my head a little.

"What're you looking at, dork?"

Smiling he shakes his head. "You distract me a lot." He accidentally admits, blushing as he did so.

"I-I mean, I don't always think about you– wait yeah I do– not in a creepy way though–" he rants. I burst into laughter, causing him to smile.

"You're so cute Eddie."

The others didn't mind us, being use to our relationship by now.

Bev's POV

I watch as Eddie and Ally giggle to each other, being in their own little world.

I'm glad they're together.

Before the two even met, Bill told me that Eddie had a thing for her.

It was beyond a surprise when they actually met, he said. And it was crazy when she hit on him. We all knew he liked her, even when he denied it.

We knew before he told anyone. Maybe even before he told himself. It was obvious even to us, as young as we were, that the sparkle in his eyes when she spoke was something someone could wait a life time on. And even though we tease them about it, I know that deep down, we are all secretly hoping to be looked at like that, one day.

I look over to Bill, and blush when our eyes meet.

Maybe I had a fighting chance at that too.

Ally's POV

I lean my head on my asthmatic boyfriend, yawning a bit. He doesn't seem to mind all that much, and keeps our hands interlocked. Richie throws a piece of popcorn my way.

"Hey, you can't fall asleep yet, Flower! We still have to have that sexy pillow fight." He grins, earning an elbow from Stan.

"Give it up already, Richie!" Ben laughs, "the closest you'll get to a girl is that time Ally accidentally kissed you." The boys laugh, high-fiving Ben. Richie rolls his eyes and mumbles a "whatever".

I lift my head off Eddie's shoulder to laugh a little. Eddie seems unimpressed at the mention of the kiss, pouting a bit.

Noticing his small frown, I lean over and kiss his cheek. He pretends not to notice. With a smirk, I grab his cheeks and begin to pepper kisses all over his face. He groans and tries to pry me off.

"Ewwww, no! Stopppp!" He groans, trying to push me away. "Say you forgive me!" I mumble with my lips against his cheek.

"I forgive you!" He shouts, making pull back with a grin. "Gross. Now your saliva is all over me." He whines, Stan shivers in disgust beside him. "Oh, boo-hoo." I tease.

Rolling his eyes, he wipes his face off. After doing so, he turns back to me.

I ignore his stare and talk to Bev. She chuckles as I talk about why I love New Kids on the Block. "Well they're hot, and super romantic." I point out.

She nods in agreement, glancing towards Eddie.

He's desperately trying to grab my attention, by doing stupid things like zipping and unzipping his fanny pack over and over again.

Suddenly, Bev gasps, and everyone turns to her.

"Eddie, are those pictures of Ally?!" She squeals.

A blush washes over my face, and I turn to Eddie. He's frozen, nervously messing with his fingers. "U-uh, no– yes..."

Reaching over, Bev pulls out the pictures. Her and the boys examine them. A smirk forms on her lips, and the boys blush a deep red. "Jeez Ally, nice bra...lace looks good on you–" Richie laughs. I punch his arm, and he groans.

"I-I have t-t-two questions. O-one, why would y-you take pictures l-like that. A-and two, w-why w-would you keep them w-with you?" Bill directs the questions at each of us with a raised eyebrow.

"I took them for Eddie." I mumble.

"I keep them because they're hot." Eddie states, causing me to face palm as he slaps a hand over his mouth. "I-I meant– oh my god that's not what I meant– I mean she is, you are– but what I meant was– I-I keep them for uh...–for luck." He corrects.

Bev laughs, and the boys throw him the pictures. Eddie quickly shoves them back where they belong.

Everyone goes back to what they were doing.

"Sorry.." he whispers, with a blush. I sigh and give a shrug. Leaning back into the blankets sprawled onto the floor, I mumble a quiet, "Whatever."

He pouts, leaning back with me.

When I don't say anything for another 5 minutes, he lets out a groan before turning to face me.

I raise an eyebrow. He lifts himself onto his elbow and leans over, kissing me. Slowly. Tilting his head, he deepens the kiss a bit. Before I know it, we're full on making out, for the first time.

I didn't think it'd ever get to this point. Hmmm. I thought he said that the thought of someone else's tongue in his mouth was gross, yet here we are.

Smirking in quiet triumph, I wrap an arm around him. He hums quietly in satisfaction, keeping his eyes closed.

"Gross! Why don't you two stop sucking off each other's faces and get a room!" Richie gags, causing me and Eddie to pull away from each other with a blush. "Shut up Richie, this is my house!" I giggle.

"S-she has a p-point." Bill comments.

Richie rolls his eyes in disgust. "Yeah but it's still gross."

Eddie shrugs, "it's not as gross as I thought'd be, she actually tastes kind of sweet—"

"Please, shut up." Stan begs, clearly grossed out. I laugh and nudge Eddie to be quiet. He shrugs, and kisses my cheek. The others go back to talking, glancing at us every once in awhile.

"I could only ever do that with you." Eddie whispers to me, causing a grin to spread on my face as I glance at him.

"You're special to me." He adds.

(I know a lot of these chapters don't contain scary scenes, there's a reason for this. I want the characters to have some screen time of doing actual, just teen things, and grow a bond instead of it magically existing. Future chapters will get more serious, and they will eventually come to defeat it.)
