Hey y'all idk what this is but I kind of think it's cute. Just a short and sweet little thing bc I haven't written here in a long time :))
Eddie stood there, nervously fidgeting with his tie as he waited for someone to answer the door. He heard a click and it swung open, revealing a beaming Eileen Hunt to him.
"She got all pretty for you Eddie," Eileen said with a giggle, gesturing for Eddie to come inside.
Eddie smiled nervously at her, sitting down on their couch as Freddie bounded down the stairs towards him.
"EDDIE!" Freddie exclaimed, plopping down on the couch next to him. Eddie smiled at Brandy's older brother, saying hello to him quietly.
Freddie furrowed his brows, "why're you nervous?" He asked, seeing as Eddie wasn't acting like his normal self.
Eddie shrugged. "Senior prom is kind of a big deal, and I don't want to mess it up."
"Don't worry about it! Brandy's basically head over heals in love with you. There's nothing you could do that'd mess it up." Freddie reassured. "Except cheat on her. Or break up with her," Freddie added less enthusiastically.
Freddie cleared his throat. "But you've been drooling over her since you were like four, so I doubt you'd do something dumb like that."
Eddie chuckled, blushing at Freddie's blunt comment and rubbing the back of his neck nervously.
Freddie clapped his hands together and popped up from the couch. "I wish I could stay, but I have to go babysit Danny in," he checked his watch, "five minutes, and I have to drive there still."
"Who's Danny?" Eddie asked.
"Do you know Allie? She's your age. Tall. Long brown hair. I fucked her a couple times last year when Kenzie and I broke up?"
Eddie nodded.
"Well it's her little brother. I know what you're thinking. 'Yikes it must be awkward since you fucked her.' And no. It's not. We're pretty good friends, strictly platonic, though. We both knew we were platonic from the start, so it really wasn't that big of a deal. Just a few fucks to help me get over Kenzie. Anyway, I've gotta go. Bye bud!"
And with that outburst of jumbled words, Freddie left, leaving Eddie on the couch to wait for Brandy to be ready.

Brandy slowly walked down the stairs, eyeing Eddie on the couch lost in thought. She snuck up behind him. "Boo!" She yelled, making him jump, a girly scream leaving his lips.
"Gosh Brandy you sca-"
The rest of his sentence faded off as he admired her beautiful body.
"Gorgeous," Eddie muttered under his breath, letting out a sigh as he looked back up into her dark blue eyes.
Brandy flushed and looked down, "thanks Eds."
Eddie hopped up from the couch and walked around it, holding out his hand for her to take. Brandy easily slid their hands together as they walked to Eddie's brand new shiny car (he worked double shifts at the grocery store to pay for it).
Eddie held the door open for her to climb in, jogging around to the drivers side and sitting down in the drivers seat. He slipped the key into the ignition, slipping his hand back into Brandy's. Their hands meshed together perfectly. Almost like they were made for the other.
Eddie turned back to Brandy, looking into her dazzling eyes. Eileen had been right. Brandy had gotten all dolled up for him.
He looked at her powdered nose, taking into consideration her lack of freckles. He wasn't sure if he was very fond of not being able to see her freckles, but she still looked gorgeous. Eddie was used to seeing her in makeup. She always wore makeup to school. He liked her makeup face almost as much as her makeup free face. Brandy's face in general was his favorite, no matter what was on it.
"Is there something on my face?" Brandy asked, wiping under her eyes and looking down at the pads of her fingers.
Eddie shook his head. "No. There's nothing. I'm just really fucking lucky."
Brandy furrowed her eyebrows. "What do you mean you're lucky?"
"I-"
Eddie stopped himself, trying to think of the right words to say.
"I'm lucky because the most perfect girl in the world - somehow - decided to give me a shot."
Brandy smiled, kissing him sweetly on the lips. "Okay, but I'm lucky to have such an amazing boyfriend, who just happens to be really hot."
Eddie giggled, turning his car key and squeezing her hand as he took off driving towards the prom.
