" If I'm not mistaken, there's a fair in the next town over. That would be a part of the outdoor aspect of it.. and for the inside... I'd assume either a movie... orrrr a diner. " Nancy assumed, she could be either correct or completely off, it was just fun to guess.

Her eyes followed as he looked the tape over, putting the previous one away and putting hers in, gaze trailing to his facial expression.

" I know it's not something you're used to. But ya know.. glad you didn't immediately stomp on my music selection. You're welcome, Eddie. " Her cheeks flushed, happy he was open about it. Her gaze moved to the window as she watched the trees and roads move by, one of her favorite things to do when she wasn't driving herself.

" Hey Eddie.. weird question, but.. what's on your mind? You always seem like you think.. a lot.. not that's a bad thing, cause I do that too.. but I'm curious. "

Shot in the Dark

@curlzcurlzcurlz

Eddie surveyed his reflection in the bathroom mirror. Well, as much of his reflection as he could see past the toothpaste speckles and condensation from his shower earlier. He'd pulled on the cleanest pair of black jeans that he owned, his signature Hellfire Club homemade t-shirt, and black combat boots. Shrugging into his leather jacket, Eddie then opened the medicine cabinet, searching for something. Ah, there it was. Calvin Klein Obsession. Uncle Wayne's cologne he wore on special nights out with a lady. He spritzed a soft stream on his neck, moving to his wrists before rubbing them together. That's what his mom did before, and she always smelled good, so he figured it was an effective method. He shot himself a finger gun, the reflection catching the scoffing laugh and roll of his eyes when he saw how ridiculous he looked. "Alright, Eddie. Let's go kick some ass."

Pulling up to Nancy's house, he exhaled, allowing some of the adrenaline to dissipate from his body. Checking his reflection once more, (he'd actually decided to style his hair a bit tonight, paying close attention to fly aways) he stepped out of his van and walked the pathway to Nancy's house. He reached out, ringing the door bell.

Nancy's eyes widened, eyes darting from the door to Eddie's finger on her lips.

She swore she cleared his name, why the hell were they still harassing him? A part of her wanted to march out there and give them a piece of her mind, but for Eddie's sake, she wouldn't. Instead she stared at Eddie, keeping quiet. The only sound between them was Eddie's panicked breathing and her thumping heart.

Three more knocks sounded, and flashlights were shined in the windows to check for any sign of life, which seemingly where they stood, looked like a rack of clothes, and not two people against a wall. Nancy hoped they'd leave soon.

We're living dangerously today

PINNED!

Nancy certainly didn't expect such a situation to arise, one moment he was going on about some cassette tapes he recently found by a band she sorta knew about, then the next he was pinning her against a wall. It took her a good moment to react, face dusted pink with disbelief.

" Eddie, what the hell do you think you are you doing? "

Nancy could understand the feeling like too much, trying to keep things composed and perfect when they were far from either.

She knew Alaire could've left with the Byers' , but he didn't. Nancy assumed there was unfinished business here in Hawkins for him, which she didn't blame him. She herself didn't feel betrayed, but she couldn't speak for the others.

" I see.. are you at least taking care of yourself? " It was hard out there on your own without connections. She knew about the job, mostly because she stopped by every now and then to rent a movie.

She herself was as okay as one who's been through hell with her loved ones could be. Nancy just kind of had that resting sad face sometimes.

" No, I'm alright. Does it look like there is? "

@curlzcurlzcurlz continued from here

He hugs her gently before pulling away, head quirking slightly as he listens to her speak. Truth be told, he's had a lot going on, but as per usual, Alaire tends to keep his struggles to himself. Often out of fear of being too much.

"I've just been.. busy, I guess." In that rather than leave with the Byers family when they left to California, Alaire ended up staying. Something just didn't feel right about leaving Hawkins unprotected. That and there were people that were too difficult to leave behind. Eddie - the kids - even Nancy. It isn't that he didn't care about the Byers family enough to go with them. The connections he had here were just ones he wasn't willing to let go of yet. He wonders if anyone feels betrayed by his decision.

"I've kind of been on my own since everyone left." So he's been working a lot to keep a roof over his own head. On the side, he sells his art, but his current main job is what gave him more stable of an income; Family video. Where Steve and Robin worked. They were the ones to help get him the job in the first place.

"Is.. anything in particular bothering you?" It's just that she didn't really look too happy. As though something was on her mind.
