In Hiding || E.M.

Eddie Munson x F!Reader

SUMMARY: Eddie doesn’t want anyone to find out about your relationship out of fear that someone could ruin it. But, it’s doing more damage than good.

WARNINGS: None, i think? Fluff though :3

WORD COUNT: 2.1 k

(note: the “every woman in the world” part has to be my favorite part! If you guys want more stories where people admit feelings over a song, please let me know. Cause, it’s a different level of fluff.)

Eddie and you were a sweet little anomaly in this town of Hawkins. Granted, you and him were always friends before you two became lovers, even though he was a few years older than you. Two years to be exact.

When the two of you were younger, his uncle and your father shared several hobbies together. They would bring the two of you along since they thought having kids near to each other’s age would mean the two of you would get along. And inevitably, it did. The two of you became buddies that bonded over nonsensical things that kids usually bonded over.

As you both got older, He got into D&D which, in extension, made you get interested too. Not mainly because you liked the game, but because it meant spending time with Eddie. It didn’t really matter that you naturally ended up with the popular kids and he ended up being an outcast. You didn’t care about it in the least.

But Eddie did, he didn’t wanna ruin your perfect image. He wasn’t fond of the idea that his presence could ruin your reputation.

What would Hawkins High think if they saw Sophomore Y/n and Senior Eddie?

Nevertheless, you told him you would never stop hanging out with him. No matter how many mouths talk.

But, he protested. Stating that if you both hangout at school, he would ruin your reputation. Despite the amount of times you pointed out that you didn’t care, you caved in and agreed to his suggestion that the two of you only hang out outside school.

But if he was being honest with himself…

He was absolutely in love with you, though. How could he not be in love with you? You made him happy, you laughed at all his jokes (even the corny ones), you flashed the damn smile, you had the prettiest face, you stayed up late with him to talk about anything and everything.

Of course, he’d be in love with you.

What he didn’t know was, you did all this because you were head over heels in love with him, too. That you did all of these things because you wanted to see him smile and hear those stupid jokes of his. Anything to spend more time with him.

So that’s how you ended up here, in his trailer home. Arguing about music, yet again. He tolerated your music taste, while you also tolerated his.

“Eddiee, Air Supply is just a different breed of music.” You shoved the tape in front of his face. You were 15 now, and a now 17 year old Eddie who was definitely not an Air Supply fan.

He grabs the tape from your hand and replaces it with a Pantera tape. “This is a different breed, not this.” He shook your tape and was about to throw it aside.

“Hey!” You grab it frantically. Causing Eddie to raise an eyebrow at you while chuckling at your childish reaction.

“Sorry?” He was unsure if he should apologize or not, the two of you have been rowdy for awhile.

Instead of answering, you stood up from his bed and walked over to the cassette tape radio, clunking in your tape before playing ‘Every Woman in the World’.

The familiar guitar riff entered both your ears, echoing between you and Eddie’s ears before your eyes met. “Let me change your mind.” Extending your hand for him to reach.

He reluctantly grabs your hand, forcing him to stand up. You pulled him in and made his hand grab your waist as you wrapped your arms around his neck.

It’s such a crazy old town

It can drag you down

Till you run out of dreams…

You had absolutely no idea why you were doing this. Maybe it was to prove a stupid point about your music taste or maybe it was just cause you wanted to finally tell him how you feel.

“Okay sure their songs are… tolerable.” He blows a raspberry while he tries to look anywhere but your face. One look, being this close to you– then he’s over for.

So you party all night to the music and lights

But you don't know what happiness means…

You weren’t having it, so you tilt his head down to look at you. “Tolerable?” A wide smile plastered all over your face.

He practically got weak in the knees as he saw how pretty your eyes looked in this crappy lighting in his room. “Y-yeah, okay sure… it’s pretty… pretty great.”

A small giggle escapes your lips at his stutter. “Pretty great, indeed.”

I was dancing in the dark with strangers

No love around me

When suddenly you found me, oh

“Girl you’re every woman in the world, to me…” To your surprise, Eddie began singing the iconic track, even if it was just below a whisper. Your eyes widen while your eyebrows raise at his sudden singing.

“Yeah okay, I may have listened to this… a few- a few times.” He admits, looking a bit defeated.

“Oh yeah?”

“Yeah don’t get your pretty little head in a twist.”

He usually did call you pretty or gorgeous, or even beautiful. But something about the whole atmosphere, the music, the dim lighting of his room and the sweet closeness of Eddie’s perfume.

“You think I’m pretty?” You didn’t know it but Eddie did, your pretty eyes looked like they could melt the sun.

He wasn’t sure how to respond. Of course you were pretty; downright goddess level, if you were asking him. It was a bit too much on his part, so he just tried to answer you directly. “I- Y/n, of course… I always have.”

A soft smile peeked through your lips.

Girl, you're every woman in the world to me

“You’re pretty, too. You know that?” Your hand pushed back a few strands of his dark curly locks away. Both your hearts thumped and your lips trembled. Needing nothing more than to just pull each other’s lips close.

Before both of you knew it, your lips connected. His soft kisses felt like heaven, so deep and meaningful. Like he had been wanting this for ages; since he very much did.

The kiss didn’t last as long as it should’ve. Leaving the two of you thirsty for more as you gazed into each other’s eyes.

“What was that?” You asked at the same time. Making you both giggle at the ridiculousness of it all.

You answered before he could, “I guess… I’ve been in love with you for a while now, Eddie.”

You're everything I need, you're everything to me

“Well, I guess I’ve been in love with you for a while now, too.”

Oh girl~

-> 2 years later

Fast forward, Eddie has repeated Senior year twice. Now 20, while you were 18. It was actually nice to be in the same class with one another.

Even though you two have been dating ever since that night in Eddie’s room, you have both kept it under wraps. He said it was best to keep it hidden, so no one would dare to shit on or ruin it.

It wasn’t because he wasn’t proud to have you. He can’t even get enough of you. It was just Eddie being scared of the consequences that would happen if they find out the freaky Eddie Munson was with teen royalty, Y/n Y/l/n.

Boys would be constantly telling you why he shouldn’t be your boyfriend and why you should leave him. Or at least that’s what he thought.

So it was a damn shame because today wouldn’t turn around.

It had been a shitty morning since he woke up late and had to shower in cold water since they ran out of hot water. He also tripped as he entered the school hall, making people laugh and make fun of him. Which, again, isn’t a nice situation to be in.

Top it off with the nice little fact that because of this whole ass situation you two were keeping, another guy asked you out for the upcoming dance, yesterday.

And Eddie insisted that you go.

“Go, it’ll keep us hidden and people wouldn’t even think twice about us.”

“Eddie, I don’t want to-”

“Come on babe, it’s just prom. No biggie.”

But it was yes biggie.

So when you saw him there, in between the hallway with his head hanging low. You were itching to approach him, wanting to cuddle him and ask what was wrong. But before you could, he spots you and raises a hand to prevent you from moving.

With a sigh you shook your head and redirected your footsteps towards the cafeteria. Sitting with your friends, the cheer team and the basketball team. You kept your eyes wandering between them and your boyfriend.

Enjoying his little mannerisms as he spoke to his friends, the hellfire club. You swore you would just sit with them and sit with EddieC hut unfortunately, you couldn’t.

“…OR paaartiieess…” You see him atop the cafeteria table, pointing out the different groups that were so quick to judge him. People who have been bugging him all day.

“OR GAMES WHERE YOU SHOOT BALLS INTO LAUNDRY BASKETS!” Eddie looks over to the table where you're situated, which makes Jason stand up offensively.

“YOU WANT SOMETHING FREAK?”

“Jason!” You scold him from the side, making him look down at you before looking back up at Eddie who throws a big grin with his tongue out and his hands forming horns.

Jason ignores it when he sees you eyeing him, non-verbally telling him to sit his ass down.

Unfortunately that didn’t stop Eddie from continuing his tirade. He stomps on the table again, “All of you are equally freaks! Just too afraid to let it out.”

Shaking your head, and having absolutely none of this attitude right now. You stood up and walked over to Eddie, who was now looking down at you. “Get down from there.” You demanded.

All of the eyes in the cafeteria were on both of you. Eddie pretended not to know you or at least not care about your existence, despite the fact that you were kissing his lips last night.

“Edward Munson if you don’t get down there right now-”

“Oooooh.” The cafeteria erupts.

“Oh miss Y/l/n, to what do I owe-” You smacked his feet forcing him to jump down. You stare at him for a good while before pinching his ears to pull him to the empty hallway.

You didn’t care that much about what the rest of the school was thinking. All you wanted to do was get to the bottom of the reason your dearest Eddie was acting this way.

Once the two of you were outside the hallway you let go of his ear. “Shit! Babe, why the ear??” He gently massaged his ear trying to ease the pain.

“I’m sorry Eddie but you’ve been acting weird all day! What’s wrong?” You crossed your arms and looked up at your disheveled boyfriend.

“Nothings wrong!”

“Something’s definitely wrong.”

“No!”

“Edward…”

“Ehhhhh.”

You eyed him while squinting, trying your hardest to read your boyfriend. Unfortunately for him, you were too capable of convincing him and making him spit out his true emotions.

“Okay fine babe, I don’t want you to go to that dance with that guy. I mean he isn’t even a good basketball player! Plus, you’re my baby! You’re mine! And I’m sorry if I said I was okay with it, I’ve been thinking about it and it’s not okay! I don’t want anyone to go on a stupid date with my baby!”

Eddie was able to say all that in a single breath. He was going to be absolutely honest, he didn’t want you to go on a date with that jock. Even though he agreed to it, he was just lying.

“Eddie…” You opened your arms wide to pull him in for a hug. “Come here, my big baby.” He buried his face into the nape of your neck, slouching as his arms reached around your waist.

“Don’t go with him.” You can hear his pout as his words tickle against your neck.

“I already told him no.” You whispered back, kissing the side of his cheek.

He lightened up quickly, standing up straight as he looked down at you. “You did?”

With a soft nod from you, he felt his heart brighten up. Wanting nothing more than to just slap himself for acting like an idiot.

Due to the fact that the two of you were lost in each other’s words, you heard someone knock the lockers beside you. “Yoohoo.” Chrissy waves as Jason stood next to her. While the rest of the fucking school remained peaking by the cafeteria swinging doors.

“Oh God.” Eddie exclaims, running his fingers through his hair as his cheeks turn red due to embarrassment.

“You know, Y/n, we would get weirded out by the fact that you’re dating… him.” He gestures up and down towards Eddie. “But, you guys are so mushy, it’s honestly the worst.” Jason scrunches his face causing the others to giggle at the sight.

Shaking your head you wrapped your arms around his neck. “Oh, I’ll show you mushy.” Pulling your boyfriend down to your lips, giving Hawkins high a show to see. Prompting a mix of claps, groans and sighs.

Eddie whispers onto your lips, “This might not be the best idea.”

Which made you smile at him, “I don’t care.”
