Summary: You're invited to a party by one of your new friends. Let's see how the night ends.

Word Count: 1963

It had been a couple of months since you had broke things off with Billy. Since that you've kind of tried to keep to yourself but everyone needs someone to talk to, especially to make it around here.

What made it better was that you met a couple of mothers when you would pick up Rhiannon from daycare, and started your own friend group. All of them were around your age and their kids were already playing with Rhiannon during daycare anyway. Nancy had a brown-eyed shaggy-haired boy named Theodore. Piper had a little curly-head girl named Rosemary. And then there is Robin, she doesn't have any children but she comes and picks up Theo or Rosie every now and then, even both sometimes.

It was nice that you and Rhiannon had some friends in town finally. Especially Rhiannon, you didn't want her to be lonely.

But at this particular moment you weren't sure if you were happy that you had friends anymore.

"Come on (Y/N)! You never leave the house unless it's work or taking Rhiannon somewhere! You need to have fun sometimes!" Robin tried to convince you.

"Yeah, I'm sure I can tell you what you do everyday. Get up, get Rhi and you ready, take her to daycare, go to work, pick up Rhi, have dinner and then go to bed," Nancy said watching the kids play on the playground.

You sigh, because she was right. You don't do anything fun that doesn't surround Rhiannon.

"Who's gonna watch Rhi though? I can't really afford a babysitter right now. I can barely afford daycare as it is."

"Piper's mom is going to watch the kids, I'm sure she won't mind watching Rhiannon," Nancy suggested and Piper nodded.

"I don't know guys," you hesitated, parties have never been your thing. The last time you were at a party that's when Rhiannon was conceived and here you are.

"(Y/N), you are 24. We are never gonna be this young ever again. Just this once and if you don't like it, you can leave and we'll never ask again," Piper chimes in, sitting on the bench next to you with a book on her lap that she hasn't touch since she got here, "We all need to let loose every once and a while."

The girls nodded, you groaned, "Fine. I'll go but only for two hours. That's it."

"That'll work! You'll have fun, I promise!" Robin said excitedly.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

You were on your way to the party. Riding with a friend from work. Dressed in something more warm and comfortable than it was cute since #1 it was October and it was cold during the nights; #2 you weren't really looking for anything right now since your thing since Billy. You were just there to hang out with friends and maybe meet some new people.

As you approached you noticed that there were a lot of trucks and some haybales, and everyone else was parked on the other side of the road. You didn't even think about bringing your own chair. You figured that there was going to be enough going on that you might not need it. But past you was too ambitions compared to present you so was full of nervous at the moment.

How the hell did you do this when you were in college?

Jessica put the car into park and got out and you followed suit.

"Hey I'll see you around? Around 1?" Jessica said with a smile. You nodded and smiled back.

You stood outside of the car for a second to catch your breath.

"It's all good. Everything will be okay. Just three hours. Yeah, only three hours and then you can go home," you hyped yourself up. You brushed yourself off (like you had dirt on you) and headed toward the crowd of people gathering around the bonfire.

"There she is! I wasn't sure you were going to show!" Robin said as she walked up to you and hugged you, "Here's the rest of the gang for you to meet!"

"Everyone this is (Y/N)! Be on your best behavior!" she said, jokingly, you heard some laughing and a, 'Booooo'.

"This here is Vickie, she's my girl," Robin introduced you to a ginger with freckles. You shook her hand, "Nice to meet ya."

"You know Nancy," Robin said and you hugged her as she came up. There was a nervous looking man behind her with brown hair, Robin said, "This is her husband, Jonathan. Theo looks like him."

"I can see it," you smiled and shook his hand too. Piper came up next, "I'm so glad that you made it! We want you to have fun too."

"Thanks, it's good so far," you smiled.

"Oh yeah!" she said, she turned to look behind her, "This is my husband, Eddie. It's where Rosie gets the curly hair from."

"Hey there, I'm Eddie, like she said, nice to meet you," Eddie said, he had long wild curly hair with a denim vest over his leather jacket.

"I like your pins. Iron Maiden is the best," you said as you looked at his pins.

Eddie literally beamed, "Thank you! I collect them from music stores. These are my favorites."

"Really cool!"

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Dude, have you met (Y/N)? She's awesome!" Eddie said to Steve.

"Is this another fantasy person that I'm supposed to learn?" Steve asked. Eddie looked at him with a weird face, "No, she's real man. She's friends with Piper and the others. She over there."

Eddie pointed to where a girl was sitting by herself on the tailgate of Piper's truck. Her legs swinging as she watched the fire crackle.

"She's got to have a boyfriend here. No way that she doesn't," Steve said, looking around for someone that was looking for her, "Is she Joe's girlfriend?"

"No man, Piper said that she's single. Not really looking for anything at the moment, just new friends," Eddie explained, "Buuuuut...you should try and make more than friends."

"I can make friends with her," Steve nodded and walked toward you.

"Good job babe," Piper said as she came up next to Eddie and fist bumped him and watched what was about to happen.

Steve walked up, "Hey, this seat taken?"

You looked over to the new voice.

Not going to lie, he's pretty cute.

You smiled, "Not at all," you slid over to make sure that he has enough room to sit.

"My name's Steve," he said as he sat down, putting his hands in his pockets.

"Nice to meet you, I'm (Y/N)," you said smiling.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

God how am I already falling in love with this woman already?

"Honestly, I love new wave music! The Cure is probably my favorite from the bunch as of right now, but that changes from month to month," you said, talking to Steve.

You've been talking to Steve for what felt ten minutes but it's actually been hour. You could do this all night.

"You know, I think that-" Steve started but then a familiar song came on the speakers and you're eyes lit up, and you jumped off the tailgate, cutting him off.

"This is my song! I've been listenin' to the radio all night long, hopin' that it would come on and here it is!"

You hold out your hand, "C'mon, come dance with me."

Before Steve could say anything, you grabbed his hand and dragged him up. He tried keeping up with you but he was too distracted by you to keep up. You had a carefree smile on your face and your body was moving in ways that was very bad for his groin area in public.

As the song came to an end, you kissed him on the cheek, "Thank you for dancin' with me."

"Play it again!" Steve yelled to see if someone could rewind the tape and start it over again so he could gain the courage to ask you out.

You smiled and yelled, "Play it again! Play it again!"

You both laughed and then heard the next song play, looking at each other almost in a trance.

"I-" Steve started to say but you looked down at your watch, "I had a lot of fun tonight Steve but I'm afraid that I have to go."

"Are you sure?" Steve asked, not really wanting you to leave just yet but understanding.

"Yeah, I gotta check on my-" you hesitated, "my pet. She's not used to being alone this late."

"I understand. Let me walk you to your car?" Steve offered.

"I actually rode here with one of my coworkers. So I guess I need to find her."

"I'll help you, who is it?"

"Jessica Cooley," you answered starting to look around for her.

"Jessica? She left already. Left with Matt Hargrave about an hour ago."

"What? You're kiddin'. I guess I'll ask someone else for a ride," you said a little upset.

"I can take you home," Steve offered, really hoping that you would take him up on the offer.

"Are you sure? I don't want to burden you. I can just have Piper or someone take me home," you said hesitant because you didn't know him, but you had a feeling that you could trust him.

"I'm sure. Come on, let's get you home."

You smiled, "Okay thank you."

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

You were looking out the window, thinking about something to start a conversation but you couldn't think of anything that wouldn't be considered small talk or just bad in general.

That was when Steve turned on the radio and you started singing along to (I've Had) The Time Of My Life.

It didn't take too long to get to your house, maybe three songs if you remember correctly, but for some reason it felt like it was taking a little longer than usual. And you weren't upset by it at all. It had been five songs already and you sang along to every song that had came on the radio.

But it was only when you getting ready to pull on your street was when Steve started to scan the radio, almost frantically.

"This is me," you said and Steve pulled into the driveway and put the car in park.

"Thank you for the ride home, I really appreciate it. I don't have cash on me right now, but I can run in and get some for gas?"

"It's no trouble at all. I don't want money. But if you really want to pay me back, let me take you out on a date?" Steve asked wearing a charming but hopeful smile on his face.

You smiled, "I would like that."

He smiled, "Sounds great, how Friday? Dinner and a movie?"

You nodded your head, "I would love that."

"Cool, let me walk you to the do-," Steve said and just as he said that, your song came on the radio.

"No way! There is no way that this song would play twice in one night!" you exclaimed excitedly.

"Come dance with," you said as you got out of the car. He followed you and started dancing in the headlights.

It was like straight out of a movie. Everything was perfect, the lights, the song, the weather, and you.

As the song started to fade out, you got caught up in the passion of dancing and the feeling of it, you kissed Steve.

It was just like everything else, the kiss was perfect.

When you broke the kiss he looked at you and said, "I'm gonna call the DJ right now and get that song played again right now."

You threw your head back laughing, "Goodnight Steve, thank you for the perfect night."

He smiled, "You took the words right out of my mouth."

Someone Else Callin' You Baby?

A/N: Hey y'all! I'm back on my bullshit with a mini-series! This is "chapter one" of the series! Can't wait to see the reactions to this! I hope you enjoy, and let me know any feedback that you have! If you feel up to it send me a request and I will do my best to give it justice!

Summary: You and your daughter are new to Hawkins, what's going to happen when you find your boyfriend, Billy Hargraves with someone else in his car?

Word Count: about 1300

"A-B-C! It's easy as one, two, fwee!" you hear from the backseat. You look into the rearview mirror, your five-year-old daughter was in her car seat looking out the window and singing along to The Jackson Five. You were on the way to see your boyfriend and for him to finally meet your daughter. It had taken you a few months for you to even think about letting him meet your daughter. But you ended up deciding that you liked him enough to let him meet her, that was today's plan.

You flicked on the turn signal as you came to the stop sign. You look at the house on the corner, home to your boyfriend, Billy. But you saw his car backing out of his driveway. You frown in confusion, did he forget that you were coming over today?

It was when he was leaving his road was when you caught a glimpse of someone in the passenger side, a woman to be specific. She was messing with the radio like she'd done it a million times before.

It wasn't until someone honked behind you that you realized that you still sitting at the stop sign. You turned off your turn signal and went straight instead.

"Are we there yet, Mommy?" Rhiannon asked, curious. You at her in the rearview mirror and said, trying to keep the tears from falling, "I think we're going to go to the park instead, is that okay?"

She nodded and them asked, "What about your friend? Is your friend coming to the park too?"

"No honey, somethin' came up, and they can't make it this time."

"Otay, Mommy."

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Mat 'n cheese, Mommy!" Rhiannon said excitedly whenever she got her kid's menu and started coloring. You smiled back to her, "Yes baby, you can have mac 'n cheese."

After you both got your food, Rhiannon was eating her mac n' cheese with her fork, sloppily but it was getting the job done.

You started thinking.

Two weeks ago that you and him. Riding down back roads, and singing along to the radio. Well, more like you were singing to the radio.

As you were thinking, you looked around and noticed that people were looking at you and whispering.

You're just being paranoid. You thought to yourself.

You heard 'Billy' whispered with your name along with someone else's name that you couldn't quite hear. You decided that it was time to go.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Billy called you to hang out, that was when you got some answers.

"I don't know Billy, I've been kinda busy and want to stay in with my daughter tonight," you told him.

"But we haven't see each other in weeks. I just miss my girl."

"Am I though?"

Billy paused, "What?"

"Am I your girl?"

"What makes you think that?"

"I saw you with another girl when I was going to bring my daughter over for her to meet you. A few days later, I heard people talkin' about us at the diner."

"Baby, I'm sorry, I forgot that we had that planned! My sister needed a ride to-"

You cut him off, "Just tell me, do you still want me to be in your life or not. That's all I want to know."

He was quiet for a second. The he spoke up, "Can I just have a little time to think and make sure that I'm ready to give you everything I have?"

You nodded your head, "Yes. When your ready, I'll be here. Just...keep in touch too. I still care about you. I'll see you later, okay?"

He gave you a long hug and then you left. Not exactly happy with the result but it was a start to something hopefully.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Let's see, what kinda cereal should we get?"

"Hmmmm, Toast Cwunch!" Rhiannon said excitedly. You both were in the store getting groceries for the week.

"Perfect choice baby girl!" you said excitedly with her, and put the box in the cart. You pushed the cart to move down the aisle and Rhiannon shouted, "Onwawd!"

While looking down the pasta aisle you spotted a familiar head of hair, a strawberry blond mullet, with a familiar denim jacket on his shoulders. You smiled and waited for him to turn around so you could wave at him, but as he did, you saw he was holding hands with another woman, that was not his sister.

You quickly backed out of the aisle. It was time to have the talk about you guys.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

You just put Rhiannon to bed and was watching TV while eating popcorn, when there was a knock on your door. You got up from your spot on the couch and answered the door.

There stood Billy leaning against the doorway, looking up at you with his charming smile that worked on you when you first started dating.

"Hey (Y/N), I missed you."

"Hi Billy, come in," you let him in and close the door behind you. You stand in the middle of the living room with your arms crossed, "How've you been?"

"Good, I've been meaning to call you and take you out," he said with his 'charming' smile again, now that smile just made you mad.

"Just been a bit...busy?" you asked with a little venom dripping in your voice.

"Yeah...a little busy," he looked at you for a second after picking up on your voice, "How about you?"

"Who was the girl that you were with in the grocery store the other day?" you asked out of nowhere. You could see that he was taken aback.

He didn't know that you saw him.

"I was with my cousin."

"Oh, really? You hold hands with your cousins?"

He threw his head back, and you said, "Just tell me what you really want. You wanted time and space, so I backed off and let you have that. I didn't think that it meant movin' along. So if you are callin' someone else baby just tell me. Bein' in the dark is drivin' me crazy and I just need to know."

He looked at you like he didn't know what to say.

"Look, it'll be what it will be, it's either her or me. Give me the word and you can be free and I'll leave you alone. If you're over me, just lay it on me. Just rip the Band-Aid off. So...are you seein' someone else?"

He looked away and quietly said, "Yes. I am."

"Okay. That's all I needed to know. Thank you. I'll see you around Billy," you said in monotone voice and opened the door for him and he walked out. He looked back once and then walked to his car and left.

You closed the door as he left, you sighed as you sat down on the couch. That's when you let the tears flow.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It was a bright and cold afternoon in Indianapolis. You walked down the sidewalk as the cars drove by and people worked on the sidewalk. You went around the corner, you could see the sign of your favorite place to hang out and decompress.

As you walked in you could hear the jingle of the bell that was above the door. You looked around the little cafe and luckily your so-called “spot” was still open. You called it your spot because it was your favorite place to sit whenever you were there. If it was taken you would just sit somewhere. It was in the corner but surrounded by windows so you could look up and just look outside if you needed or wanted to.

You took off your heavy backpack and canvas purse as you sat down in the booth, tucking one leg up under your butt, leaving the other hanging. You looked at the menu even though you knew exactly what you were going to get. But who knows, you might get the courage to try something different? Like you might get the courage to actually ask out the cute waiter that works here and talks to you every time that you are here.

You looked around to see if you could see your favorite waiter, when you spot him, talking to the cooks through the window. He had a smile on his face and his long hair was in a low ponytail. When he started to look over toward you, you looked down at your textbook quickly.

As you were pretending to read a passage from your World Literature textbook, you heard the familiar rattling of chains coming toward you and then stop at your table. You looked up from the book and saw the waiter that you were just not-so-subtly ogling just a few seconds ago.

"Hey there sweetheart, long time no see," he said teasingly. You smiled and tried to keep yourself from blushing, "Hey Eddie."

"How's your day been?" he asked, leaning on the booth in front of you. You get a better look at him; he was was wearing black jeans with a chain, a band t-shirt, and white sneakers.

"Pretty good. I finished with all of my classes for the day, so I had to make my daily pit stop to see my favorite waiter...a-and get my favorite hot chocolate," you stuttered out the last part hoping the he didn't hear you call him your favorite waiter.

You watched as his smile got bigger.

Shit.

He totally heard.

"I'm your favorite waiter? Aw sweetheart! What are you trying to get? Free sandwiches? Because you know flattery always works on me," he smiled, gesturing wildly. You could hold back this blush so you hid your face, pretending to look for something in your backpack.

"Alright, alright. What can mechanic Eddie do for you at your pitstop?" he said, pulling out his notepad from his back pocket and a pen that you didn't notice was behind his ear.

"Can I get a hot chocolate...and a blueberry bagel, please?" you asked.

"Oo, adding something new to your order," he smiled and then added in a medieval announcer voice, "anything for you m'lady. I'll be right back with your feast."

He bowed, almost bumping into another table as he backed away, looking at you. You giggled as you watched him.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

An hour later, you were munching on the second half of your bagel. You were just reading your book that you didn't realize you had eaten all of your bagel. But someone noticed because another one was put in your line of sight. You looked up and saw Eddie with a smile on his face.

"A hardworking brain needs brain fuel," he told you. He pulled another one out from behind his back.

"I don't think I can eat three, Eddie!"

He chuckled, "This one is mine, if you don't mine me sitting here with you?"

You looked at him. Was he really asking to sit with you?

While you were thinking how you were worthy of his presence, he was standing there awkwardly, it was only when he cleared his throat and asked, "So, what's the verdict?"

You came back from your internal conflict and answered, "Yes! Of course! You can sit here."

"Whew, you had me sweating for a second," he stated as he sat down across from you, "I was afraid that you might tell me you were waiting for someone to show up."

You smiled, "Nope, just me. Well you and me now."

He grinned, "Good."

You both sat there in a comfortable silence for a minute, until you, curious, asked, "So, I was wondering. I see you around on campus and you work here. Are you from here?"

"I'm from a small town. Like five hours from here. I hated it there. The only reason I'm near the place is because of my friends that made it bearable. I left and I didn't look back. Well for a few months I didn't. But then my best friend called me asking for my help for writing a DND campaign. Then my uncle got into an accident so I had to stay with him for a while. But anyway..."

You smiled, "Do you miss it?"

"Hell no!" he stated very quickly. "I do miss my friends and my uncle. But they come and visit me often and I go and see them. But I don't miss living there."

You nodded. Eddie took a bite of his bagel and talked with his mouth full of bagel, "What about you?"

"Me? Well, I'm kind of the same way. But I get homesick more often than I think. I'm from a small town in southern Illinois."

He swallows then said, "Ah! So that's where the accent comes from!"

"Yeah, a little bit of southern comes out sometimes. Anyway, I wanted to get away from the small town scene for a while. But I do miss it. I definitely miss my mama and little brother and my friends."

He sighed dreamily, "That sounds like a dream."

"What are you studying to do?" you asked to change the subject.

"I want to produce music. Music has always been my passion. Not to brag or anything but I was in a band in high school."

"Really! That's awesome!"

"It was totally awesome! And we still play, you'll have to some and see us play. That is it you want to. I'm not forcing you if you don't want to. I know a lot of people aren't into what we play and-" You stopped his rambling, "I would love to come and see you play. Just let know next time you have a gig."

His smile got even bigger if that was possible, "Absolutely!"

"It's a date," you said without thinking. He looked at you, "Well, I was kind of hoping that we could get a date before that."

You looked at him shocked, "Me? Are you askin' me on a date?"

Eddie looked at you shyly, which was out of character for him, "Well, yeah. But if I read the conversation wrong than don't worry about it."

"I would love to go on a date with you," you answered. With a flabbergasted look on his face, "Really?"

"Eddie! Your break was up five minutes ago we need you back on the floor!" someone shouted from the back. He shook his head out of the daze and shouted back, "Okay!"

He looked back to you as he was getting up, "How about Saturday at seven? Meet here?"

You smiled and nodded saying, "I'll be here."

He smiled and then jogged to the back. You smiled to yourself.

You have a date with Eddie.

The only thing that had you hesitating was your fear of falling in love. You looked from your book, biting your lip anxiously, when you spot Eddie dancing with one of the older waitresses through the window and then fist bumping a cook.

You can maybe let yourself fall for this one.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Can you believe it?" you ask as your laying on the couch with you head in Eddie's lap. His hand stops playing with your hair as he's trying to figure out what you're talking about.

"Can I believe what?" he asks resuming playing with your hair, now not interested in the TV show that you guys where watching.

"It's been a year since our first date," you answer like it was common knowledge. Then after a few seconds you ask, "Do you remember our first date? We were sittin' by the water at the lake."

You hear him laugh a little, "Yeah, I do. I put my arm around you for the first time. I was so nervous."

You sit up, "Really? I didn't know! You acted like you always do. So calm and confident. I felt like my heart was going to beat out of my chest."

Then you lay back on his lap and bask in each other presence.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Piper!" you hear your name as you were sitting on bench, waiting to head to your next class. You look up and saw your friends, Nancy and Robin. You smile as they walk up and sit next to you, "Hey guys what are you guys up to?"

"Haven't seen you in a while, just wanted to catch up with you," Robin says excitedly, basically bouncing on her tiptoes.

"It has been, just wanted to see how you and Eddie are," Nancy says with a smile on her face, holding her excitement back better than Robin.

"Well...it's been a year since Eddie and I started dating. I have a drawer of my things at his place. So I'd saying it's getting pretty serious."

"Ooooooo!" both girls exclaim at the same time.

You laugh, "I know. I never thought that I would meet someone that I want to be so open with."

"He seems super sweet. I'm so glad that you found someone to trust," Nancy said. These girls have known you since you started college, you told them everything.

"He is. He's taken the time to learn all of my secrets and basically figured me out. He listened when I told him about my situation with my parents and stuff like that. He even told me that when we get married - not if, but when - that we'll never make my parents' mistakes."

"Wow! It seems like he really loves you," Robin says with a smile on her face.

"I'm super lucky to have him," you look down at your watch, "I have to go to class. I'll see you guys this weekend?"

"Absolutely!"

"I'll be there."

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Baby, we need to get groceries soon," you say, crutching into the living room. You recently broke your foot and can't stand long enough to make dinner. So Eddie has been helping you with almost everything. While on top of working extra because you can't work.

"Okay, I'll see what I can do," he says from the couch, looking at papers on the coffee table.

You went back into the kitchen to find something to eat because you didn't want to bother Eddie more than you had to. As you passed the kitchen counter, you saw a couple of pieces of paper, they were bills.

"Baby, have you paid the electric bill yet?" you ask loudly from the kitchen. You hear him sigh, "Not yet. I'll get it tomorrow."

You crutch your way back into the living room, "Did you pay the water bill?"

He sighs, a frustrated, "We've got nothing figured out. We were just fine. But we didn't plan that you would break your foot."

"It's okay, we'll figure it out. We always do," you reassure him.

"How? We don't have enough money to do anything with," he explains seeming to get more stressed. You sit down next to him, "I know it's hard. But we will figure it out even if I have to ask my mom for money."

"You know what I think about every time that it gets hard for us?"

"What's that?"

"I think about our first date that you took me on two years ago. We were sittin' by the water and you put your arm around me for the first time. You've made me so much more happy and free."

He smiles a little, "Yeah, I remember," after a seconds, "I also remember our fifth date, all the city lights on the water while we were swimming in the same lake. I saw you start to believe in love and in every compliment that I told you."

You smile, "We'll make it through this."

Eddie leans over and kissed your lips.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"What do you mean?" Eddie asks angrily.

"You know what I mean," you answer with your arms crossed over your chest, "we can't afford to buy anything other what we need."

"But we need this!"

"We can't afford it!"

"We could if you didn't go and spend all our money on stuff for your little brother," he huffs.

"First of all, it was his birthday! It was a fucking birthday gift! Second, I used MY money, not OUR money," you raise your voice a little.

"Well since you can afford to spend money on unnecessary things for you family but not us, why don't you just go back to Illinois!" he yells and sit down on the couch, rubbing his face.

You stand there for a second, then walk to the bedroom.

This is it. This is the end of us.

You look at the clock, 2:34 in the morning. Your mom wouldn't be awake, but your brother might.

You pack a bag. Grab your keys, purse, and put on your jacket. You walk out the door.

You didn't even realize that you were crying until the chilly December wind hit your face.

You were in the street almost to your car when you feel a hand grab your arm. You look behind you to see who grabbed you, there stands a panicked Eddie. No jacket, just the T-shirt that he had on when you walked out.

"Why'd you follow me? Had to get the last goodbye in?" you ask looking down at the wet street.

"No, I'm here because I don't want you to go. I know that I said that you should go back home but, you are home. You're my home. And I know that all you've ever known was goodbye. But I want you to get used to me being around all the time. So much that you'd want me to leave you alone, but even then, I won't, because I love you and I can't lose you. I'll never leave you alone," Eddie says in what seems like one breath.

You stood there not sure what to say.

"I remember how we felt sitting by the water," he starts, you look up at him, "and every time I look at you, it's like the first time. I fell in love with a careful, always planning, always two steps ahead woman. She is the best thing that's ever been mine."

You smile and start crying again.

"I'm sorry baby, I didn't mean to make you cry. I regret the whole argument. We don't need...I don't even know what the thing was we were arguing about. But I know that I need you."

You lean up and kiss him, right there in the street.

When you broke from the kiss you say, "You are the best thing that's ever been mine."

okay but dad eddie in his van with his daughter, dropping her off for her first day of middle school. embarrassing the absolute shit out of her by blasting smooth by santana and singing it at the top of his lungs in his best rob thomas voice.

eddie would say "this guy's bothering you babe?" every time you accidentally bump into something.

you're just walking around the trailer, taking back your plate to the kitchen when you hit your leg against the table, "ow you son of a bitch!" you'd yell out and eddie comes running from his room. his guitar tossed on the bed and music sheet has flown off his lap and got scattered all across the floor.

"what happened? you okay?" he'd ask then he'd see that the table has moved a bit since he last saw it about thirty minutes ago. "this guy's bothering you, sweetheart?" he'd walk towards the table and stare it down, "do i need to teach you a lesson here? hm? teach you not to hit on girls? and my girl nonetheless." his hands in fists, he'd buff out his chest, acting all tough and scary but it only makes him look adorable like a mad puppy.

"actually eds, technically i hit it." you'd tell him and he'd turn to you.

"babe you don't have to do this. don't defend this asshole just so i wouldn't hurt him." glaring at the table again, "come on bitch! not so brave now huh?"

then he'd act as if he's throwing hands with the table only for him to hit his foot against its leg, hard, and end up on the floor in the fatal position holding his foot in both hands and go "the soldier has fallen. i've been defeated by the evil forces of wooden home furniture. pass my kind regards and sorrow to the queen. long live rock and roll." then in true eddie fashion, he'd pretend to be dead with his tongue out and his middle finger pointed to his new immortal enemy, the table.

Eddie as a friend would be so sweet to you- cause everyone knows of his little crush.

But you, cause you're dumb.

Pure, sweet, sweet fluff.

"Eddiiiiie?" You'd call from the kitchen, the rest of the group in the living room.

"Sweeeeetheart?" He'd respond with his head perking up. Everyone would look over at him due to his high-pitched tone, giving each other giddy smiles.

"Can you help me grab something?" You'd ask while trying to reach a box of cereal that's on the top of a cabinet.

He'd trot into the kitchen and easily grab the box, handing it to you and pulling it away before you grab it.

"What's in it for me?" He'd quirk up an eyebrow and bend down so his face was level with yours.

As always, you'd blush as his chocolate eyes looked into yours.

"For such a hard task..? Hmm." You'd pretend to think, even though you're well aware of what he wants. It was just platonic, right?

You'd give him a quick peck on the cheek, and he'd give you the biggest cheeky grin before winking and returning back to the living room.

And it was reoccurring. Any time you'd call for him, no matter what it was.

"Daaaaarlin'?"

"Preeeeetty girrrl?"

"Hooooneeeey?"

Your heart would skip a beat every time. But you tried not to think too hard. It was just platonic, right?

Sometimes he'd want a hug, or he'd kiss your knuckles and say "It was an honor, my Princess." While giving you a fond smile with hearts in his eyes.

You were just too sweet, he'd think. You were a dear friend- and maybe you just liked the attention. But he never, not once, missed when you would blush, or tuck your hair behind your ear, and put your hand on his arm and rub your thumb there without even realizing. It was just platonic, right?

But that one night where the gang ditched on you for the planned little campfire in the back of your yard. Of course, it was planned.

You'd tell Eddie to come over anyway and laugh at his hushed yes! ( that wasn't meant to be heard by you) while he fist bombed the air. And you'd sit together, thighs touching but hands remaining on your lap. You'd watch the orangey glow of the fire glow on his face, his nose scrunching up when the smoke blew in his direction. You'd giggle, and he'd look at you with that lovesick expression.

His breath got taken away as he, too, looked at the glow on your face, your eyes glistening.

And then he'd turn his body to yours, his knee against your thigh and eyes unmoving at they stayed connected to yours.

"Sweetheart.." He'd whisper.

You'd chew on the inside of your lip, a nervous habit. He noticed, and almost chickened out.

He'd tuck that piece of hair that was in your face behind your ear that's been bothering him for the past hour, and then rub a thumb across your cheek, smiling at the way you looked down and blushed. He felt the warmth. It was just platonic, right?

"Eddiiiie?" You whispered back, mimicking the tone he always gave you.

He'd give you that wide signature smile, teeth and all. And then he couldn't hold back anymore when he saw you peek quickly at his lips.

He would snake his hand to the back of your neck and pull you in, lips firmly pressing against yours for several seconds before he pulled away.

Both of you would let out a breath, and then you'd laugh while he covered his face and chuckled.

"That totally wasn't platonic.. right?" He'd ask, lips puckering out like a 'duck face' and eyes narrowing.

You'd shake your head and lean back in, and he would grab your hands, placing them around his shoulders and really taking your breath away.

It was never platonic.

Rules: No cheating! You're starring in a movie with the last person you saved in your camera roll. The long song you listened to is the title. Who/what is it?

Sounds like a Rom-Com where at the climax of the movie Jensen ends up breaking my heart and then he has to win me back. Or vice versa. I'm in.

Thanks for the tag @babygirllinds!

“The demon is back.” Eddie pokes into Steve’s side to wake him up.

“Babe, please go back to sleep.” Steve shoves his face into the pillow, making his voice muffled.

“Steeeeve.” Eddie whines, “It’s really there I swear this time. And I locked the door so I know it’s the demon again. Nothing else can get inside.”

“Eddie.” Steve squishes his face even deeper into the mattress. “You do this at least once a week. I love you; I do. But I never look because there is no demon. And every morning, you wake up fine. So please, go back to sleep.”

“What if I promise never to mention it again if it’s not really there? Will you look then?” This time Eddie’s voice wavers, his actual terror showing.

Steve sighs and shifts his head to look at Eddie, “This is really freaking you out, huh?” He says it kindly. Steve can tell this is serious to Eddie. So even if he doesn’t believe it, Eddie does. And what’s important to Eddie is important to Steve.

Eddie nods back furiously.

“Okay, I’ll look.” Steve shifts his head towards the other side, where the chair by the window sits. There, sitting in that corner is a dark shadowy figure. “Oh.”

“See! I told you! Demon! Oh god, it’s gonna get us.” Eddie throws his hands up. Even though he’s terrified, he’s accepted defeat.

“No.” Steve says calmly. “It’s just El.”

Eddie pauses his rant, “What?”

“It’s just El. In the corner. She does that sometimes, watches people she cares about until she falls asleep. To make sure they’re safe.” Steve looks at Eddie.

“The door was locked! How are you so calm about one of the kids just watching us at night?”

“Honey, she has mind powers. I don’t think a flimsy lock from Home Depot is going to stop her.” Steve deadpans before shrugging, “And it’s El. She could ask me to kill a man, and I probably wouldn’t even ask questions.”

“What if she asked you to kill me?”

“I’d be conflicted.”

“I want to be mad, but honestly I think I’d hand you the knife.” Eddie sighs, looking down at Steve.

Steve scoffs, “Don’t be ridiculous. I wouldn’t stab you. I’d obviously sneak some kind of poison into your honeycombs. Way less messy.”

Eddie goes back to nearly shouting, “Why have you thought about this?!”

“Honestly, I have a lot of intrusive thoughts. I just don’t speak them out loud.”

Despite the fact they are actively talking about his murder, Eddie can’t help but get all gooey with Steve in their bed. “Is this why you don’t get mad when I think aloud? Another reason why you just get me. Adding that tally to the ‘why we are great together’ column.”

“Yes, we’re pretty amazing. Can we go back to sleep now?” Steve smiles.

“Yes—wait, no.” Eddie corrects himself, getting himself back on track. He loves this man, but he is a sneaky little minx. “Why did El never say anything? I mean, this is not the first time I accused her of being a demon. Hell, we’ve been talking for literally five minutes, and she still hasn’t said anything. Also, what if she walked in on us doing, ya know, adult stuff?” Eddie blushes at the end. He’s acting like he hasn’t been whispering way worse things in Steve’s ear every night.

“First off, she won’t walk in on that. Apparently Max taught her about happy screams a long time ago.”

“Gross.”

“Yeaaa. Second, I’m pretty sure she’s asleep right now.”

Huh, now that Eddie thinks about it, he does hear soft little snores. Which is weird since neither he nor Steve snores, and they are both, ya know, awake.

“And I don’t think El speaking in a dark corner would have helped your fears. Like imagine just hear her soft “Hello” at 2 a.m.” Steve raises an eyebrow.

“I—okay I got nothing.”

“Fantastic can we go back to sleep now?”

Eddie gives one last shout, “You’re not going to stop her?”

“Are you going to tell her no? And make her worry?”

Eddie slinks down into the covers, “...no.”

“That’s what I thought.”

Eddie curves his body into Steve’s, seeking him out. Steve wraps his arms around Eddie, securing him to his chest. “Thank you for indulging me.”

Steve hums. “Anything for you baby. I love you.”

“I love you too.” Eddie kisses Steve lightly.

“I love you both as well.” El’s voice suddenly speaks into the silent room.

“Jesus Christ!” Eddie screams.

Steve can’t help the giggles that come out of him. He tries to smother them into Eddie’s shoulder.

Eddie can’t find it in himself to be mad.

———

some people seemed interested in more el + Steve sibling energy. And they are a sibling-like duo I love. So here’s a little something but more steddie involved. I think all three of their relationship would be very sweet. Both Eddie and Steve would protect el. I hope you enjoyed :)
