Nicola Townes was new to Hawkins High her senior year and she strikes up a friendship with the funny, sweet and somewhat of an outcast Eddie Munson. The two quickly become thick as thieves. But, will feelings she can't even see for herself come in the way of the best friendship she's ever had? Is there something more between the two of them that they both hadn't seen coming? Starts Pre-Season 4 and goes throughout the entire season and beyond, and of course Eddie isn't dying here besties. Super slow burn fic. 18+ of course.
