I guess we aren't "just" friends anymore~

__________________________________

Summary: You find out Eddie's secret which leads to something more. Something other than being friends.

Warnings: Cursing, very little talks of neglect or abuse, mentions of divorce, mentions of jerking off and cheating, I kinda didn't edit this much

This fanfic is 80 percent fluff and 20 percent of the warnings. So this contains slightly sensitive things as said in the warnings. If you don't like anything like that then I warn you to scroll past this.

It's okay to cry sometimes isn't it? You hoped it is, and you wished it was. You watch silently as the typical fight between your parents started in the middle of the night. Your father came home... Drunk.

You mother was in tears as she stood from the couch, looking at her husband who had kiss marks and hickeys all over his cheek and neck. Obviously all tears this shit of a family sheds is fake, specially your step-mothers.

You could hear it, you can see it. You were right Infront of it. Bottles crashing, hitting each other, screams getting louder and harsher with every response they gave to each other. Why couldn't they just move on and go their own ways?

Certainly you were eager to know. But at the same time afraid that it'll lead you to harsher secrets. You weren't sure how much worse this situation could get so if you wanted answers or not you had to do what your parents say.

"Go to your room you fucking disgrace!" He yelled at you as he slammed his palm against the table, throwing a glass as it almost hit you.

Your eyes dart in shock for a quick moment. Used to his remarks, you quickly follow scrambling in your feat as tears threatened to roll down you cheeks.

You climbed upstairs and slammed your door behind you. Wiping away your tears and forcing yourself to stop crying. The screams were muffled. Heading into your wardrobe you angrily grabbed a leather bag. Messily stuffed a few clothes in their and goodbye you go through... The window.

Yes, the typical escape and entry route if you want to keep a secret.

And there's only one person to go to in these types of times. Eddie "the freak" Munson. You had to be honest you felt kinda bad that you always had to rely on Eddie when you have problems. Are you burdening him? Probably. But what could you do? He was the one and only.

But on second thought it may be better if you find a place for yourself soon, instead of trashing his. I mean, he said he didn't mind.

You took a cab to his place considering it was gonna be a long walk if you didn't. It was also late at night already, who knew what kind of creeps were wandering around.

As you were lost in your thoughts, it felt like a split second just before you arrived. Taking out a loud sigh, you knocked on the door of the trailer, hoping someone would at least answer. A few minutes later you thought nobody could hear you, or maybe no one was there. "Hah... This is useless..." You groan, rolling your eyes tiredly.

It was almost the perfect timing, just as you were about to knock the door opened with a short squeek.

There behold Eddie with closed eyelids as he had a hard time spotting you, squinting his eyes. You giggle. He really shouldn't open doors this late at night or someone might come stab him with the way he was literally just dozing off standing up in his shirt and shorts. You were glad he did for you though.

"Ehm, can I come in?"

"Huh..? Y/n? S' that you?"

"You really can't see me clearly can you? Eds you need to be careful, you might get kidnapped-" You whispered teasingly, tip toe-ing to reach him. He lazily rubbed his eyes as a grin flashed his face, "I prolly should huh..." He was finally awake as he chuckled curtsying for you to go inside jokingly.

You roll your eyes playfully but went inside anyway, placing your bag on a chair. You inhaled deeply as you take in the smell of burnt cigarettes. That scent was like home, it made you reassure yourself that Eddie was with you.

"What're you doing here anyways? Did you run outta food again?" Eddie chuckles, walking towards you. You smile. "Yeah something like that..." you say, glancing back at him. He knows something's wrong when you talk like that. And he didn't like it a single bit.

"Anything wrong?"

"Uhm, kinda. Y'know, before I tell you about the shit. Am I bothering you? Because uhm..." You look over at the magazines scattered around the table as his face lightly blushed with embarrassment. Unfortunately, were not gonna go on detail with the magazines today. He quickly gathers them tucking them in at one hidden corner as he gave a grin.

"A-and you aren't bothering me at all by the way-!" He reminds. "Uhuh... So moving on... It's about my parents. Y'know...-"

"Their business? It's still going well right? Y'know the campaign ya told me bout'?"

"Uhm, no. Ya see, when, I was explaining that. I uh kinda joked about it."

"You lied?" Eddie stared wide eyed.

"Uh no, not necessarily but..." Your eyes wandered of to the wall. "But..?"

"My parents are, not the best. Their fighting around throwing shit at each other. My dad cheated on my mom and my mom's just a gold digger wanting money. And then-"

Eddie was shocked. "So you lied? About everything..?" You gasped aloud, "no no I didn't mean to lie to you! It's just that I didn't want anyone worrying and I'm sorry if you feel hurt that I lied to you about everything. I promise-"

He hugged you. He embraced you in his warmth so tightly you felt like you would never get free from this embrace. Which on another basis doesn't sound bad at fucking all. "I'm not hurt you lied to me sweetheart. I'm hurt you lied to me saying that you were okay when you aren't. I... Y'know I noticed that one long scar on your wrist... I knew something wasn't right. But-"

You trembled, your lips trembled. You were fucking glad he understood you. You hoped he'd understand you, and you knew he'd understand you. Just like every other time. "Y'know... it's okay to cry sweetheart." He gently whispered, caressing your hair as you burst into tears.

"Eddie I knew you'd understand. Daz why I always come to you even though I feel like a fucking burden." Your voice breaks, cracking at every word which seemed to break Eddie's heart in turn. "Nah sweetheart, who ever told you to that you were a fuckin' burden?" He swings you around in his embrace. Almost like dancing.

"And the scar- who the fuck did that shit to you?"

You sniffle loudly, smelling the faint smell of cigarettes . "Dad..." Your voice sounding not more than a whisper as you try to speak properly. "I'll fucking kill that bastard one day."

You gave a light chuckle, "you won't Eddie. Just cause' he hurt me doesn't mean you can kill him y'know..." you knudge him playfully. "Also, my arms are staring to ache Eds. We can hug later." You giggle, wiping away your tears as both of you finally let go after hugging for minutes straight. At some fucking point you regret saying to let go of each other. You wanted another hug.

"And on second thought, you didn't walk here did ya? What if you came across some pervs there!? You could've been in danger... Or what if-!" He continues pondering loudly as both of you took a seat.

You smile at his silliness plopping yourself comfily on the chair. Ruffling his hair a bit, "I took a cab Eds" you sigh, glad at least someone was looking after you with care.

"A cab... But what if the driver-!"

"No Eddie, nothing bad happened."

He sighed in relief though it felt like he was gonna pounce on someone any time now with how his mood is. A moment of comforting silenced past before you decided to break the silence between you. "Today's Thursday isn't it?" You mumbled out just enough for him to hear as he glances over at the calendar on the wall.

"Oh yeah... It's our little anniversary don'tcha remember? You said you'd make us breakfast right~?" Eddie grinned.

"Damn I completely forgot about the whole 'date thingy'-!" You groaned in defeat. It was you and Eddie's 8th anniversary of being close friends. And your celebrating it tomorrow Friday. A few days ago he did you a big favour, and you regret insisting on repaying it back. "But it's not a date sweetheart... Unless you want it to be- ow!"

You pulled his hair playfully, messing it up more than it already is. He pulled on your cheeks playfully, making them redder and redder as he kept poking on them. "Can you stop squishing my cheek-!" You squeeled, "you started it brat." he chuckled charmingly.

He lifted you up and down the couch as you were now laying on your back with him on top of you. The tip of his hair slightly touching your face as a moment of silence occured, with both you looking at each others eyes before...

"Hey you little-!"

You reached over his waist and tickled him just as he did to you, both of you interchanging positions from time to time. Giggles and laughter exploded within the room making both you smile momentarily before proceeding to laugh again. With him now below you on his back, you slung an arm over his should and let your body fall on him relaxed. Your head was on his chest as he straightened your tangled hair gently. You huffed out a loud sigh, "hey, y'know, just earlier today... Dustin told me that you had a little crush on me."

How the fuck did he say that so casually?

You gulped eyes wide as you lifted you head to look at him. "S' that true sweetheart?" he asked caressing you face as both of you sat down beside each other. Not leaving eye contact, "well yeah... I mean no, I actually uh... yeah?" You took a deep breath. "I like you Eddie, and maybe... Soon I'll eh, love ya?"

"I fuckin' knew it, shit!"

An 'eh!?' left your mouth silently. As you stared in disbelief, he chuckled. "Princess I know the way you fucking stare daggers at me when I talk to other girls. And believe me, they don't wanna talk, I don't wanna, but I kinda fucking have to." He explained slowly, as you began to relax and release the tension in your body.

"And also... that's kinda... why, I had those magazines on my table?"

Now you were shocked, if you were so shocked earlier that you couldn't speak. Well certainly you were so shocked now your eyeballs boutta' pop out. "You- you- you-" a blushed dared to be on your face as you were fuming with embarrassment. "To be real, I'm the one that should be embarrassed but seeing you like this isn't that bad at all." He grins laughing lowly.

You covered you face with your hands as Eddie gently tried to playfully pry them open.

"S-so, you thought..? About me?"

He grins. "Well, I guess we aren't just friends anymore~! Y'know, maybe our friendship anniversary tomorrow could turn into a-!"

"You fucking pervert, I find out you were jerking off thinking about me and you grin at me!?" You said in embarrassment, as you stood you and took a pillow to shield your bodily soul. "Hey the fuck you doing that for!? I'm not gonna do anything dirty yknow!?"

"Like hell I'll fucking believe that you pervert!"

(Side not, idk how many times I edited this thing because Tumblr wasn't updating my edits- like why!?")

You began to run to his room, locking the door behind you. "Hey, where you going?" He calls out standing up from the couch as he sees you go into his room. "Excuse me miss!? That's my room!"

"I don't care, go away pervert!"

"I said I'm not!"

"You are!" You helplessly shouted back.

"Not! C'mon sweetheart lemme in!"

The next day... The neighbors complained about you both being too loud. Because y'all were screaming at each other. Of course not anything dirty... All the smut will come in the next chapter...
