Euphoria // Grunge One-Shots

I'm here - Eddie Vedder

It takes me about an hour before I am finally ready to go, ready to go out with my boyfriend, my best friend and her boyfriend. We always go on a double date on Friday and it's become a tradition.

Today I've been feeling rather off, not being in the mood to talk to anyone, really. At first I was really worried about it, I'm always very happy and I'm never sad, but later I realised that everyone has a day off every once in a while, haven't they? Work was awful because of how I felt and I was happy when it finally ended.

"I'm coming!" I yell out of my window after Jeff honks a couple of times.

As soon as I reach Jeff's car, I get inside and sit in the backseat next to Kate, my best friend. "Hey guys." I tell the boys and they both send me a smile. It doesn't take us long to reach the club, only about ten minutes.

We all step outside of the car after it's parked and I immediately walk over to Eddie, who I didn't have the change to greet properly yet. "Hey handsome." I smile up at him as he returns the smile. "Hey gorgeous." he says before placing his lips on mine. It's an innocent kiss, but even though it's innocent, it still makes me feel a little better than I did before. When we part I rest my head against his shoulder and we make our way inside the club, following Jeff and Kate to a booth in the bar-area.

Eddie sits down next to me. He puts his arm around my shoulder and I immediately sink into him, happy I'm finally with him again after a rough day at work. "You alright?" he whispers in my ear, probably noticing I'm not smiling as much as usual. "Just had a rough day, that's all." I mumble into his neck and he pulls me even closer to him, as if he wants to protect me. My heart flutters at the gesture and it makes me melt into him even more.

"What do you guys want to drink?" Jeff asks while standing up. Eddie looks down at me and I nod, he immediately knows what I mean, "The usual." he tells Jeff and Jeff takes off to the bar.

The evening goes on and everyone's having a great time, though I still feel a bit off. It's just small things that get me annoyed and easily in a bad mood, especially when Eddie suddenly sits up straight and waves at some girl entering the club. I feel my heart clench and I feel some kind of jealousy. I'm never one to get jealous of such things, especially if he just waves at someone, but today it's different. I immediately am done for the night and the things I want to do most is run out of the club and crawl into my bed to cry my eyes out. But I cant; Eddie is sitting right from me, blocking my way out of the booth.

"Hey, I'm gonna go see how Jenny's doing, alright?" he says before getting up; well, now my problem's solved..!

Jeff notices how my face drops when Eddie leaves and eyes my curiously, "Something up, (Y/N)?" he asks and for some reason, that's the drop. I tell them I'm sorry and start gathering my things before running towards the exit to go home.

I can hear both Jeff and Kate calling after me, but I decide to ignore them, really not wanting to be around people any longer. I reach my apartment in no-time and step into the shower as soon as I'm able.

I shower for god knows how long and when I'm done I hear someone knocking on my door. Once again, I decide to ignore it, but the person keeps on knocking. "I know you're in there, (Y/N). Please open the door." Eddie's voice comes from behind the door.

I sigh and put on some sweatpants and one of Eddie's old shirts. I slowly move to the door and open it while looking at the ground. I know my face is completely red and my eyes are puffy. I know Eddie's eyeing me, but I avoid to meet his gaze and walk back into the living room without saying a word.

"What's wrong? Jeff and Kate told me you left the club instantly after I went to say hi to Jenny.." he says and when he mentions Jenny's name I feel a pang in my heart once again.

I just shake my head and try to ignore the thoughts running through my mind, but I can't help but feel some kind of numb and tears start running down my face again. I silently sob, but Eddie notices and quickly makes his way over to me, we're now sitting on the couch.

"Love, what's wrong? You've been acting a bit off all night.. Something bothering you?" he asks with a lot of concern and I instantly feel my love for him increase.

I slowly turn to face him and look up to meet his eyes, "I don't know what's going on today..." I confess, but a confused expression enters his face. "What do you mean? Something happened?"

I shake my head, "No, I've just- ever since I woke up I've been feeling weird and incredibly off and I don't know but when you waved at Jenny the way you did I couldn't help but feel insanely jealous and I know I shouldn't be, but I just couldn't help myself.." I ramble, moving my gaze to the ground.

Eddie chuckles a bit and brings his hand to rest on the side of my face, "Darling," he starts, moving my face to look at him once again. "there is, indeed, no need for you to be jealous, I choose you. And I'll choose you, over and over and over. Without a pause, without a doubt, and in a heartbeat. I'll keep choosing you. I love you, so much, (Y/N)."

My heart flutters at his words and I feel tears escaping my eyes again, only this time they're happy tears. I move forward and hug Eddie tightly, "You're too good for me, Eddie. I love you so much."

"There's no way I'm too good for you. And it's normal to have a day off every once in a while; it's humane." he tells me, "And you know what, let's just put on a good old DVD and do nothing for a while?" he offers.

I smile at him and nod, "That sounds great, really."
