1.4k words
itâs been two years. everything is calm. eddie, one summer morning in july, asks if youâd marry him today.
contains: fluff so much fluff, v2 fixit, established relationship ofc, almost everyone is in this one, non-traditional wedding but not really a wedding technically
tw: cursing, alcohol
a/n: just a fluffy little thing after a rough night, inspired by the song matrimony by tennis, one of my all-time favorites. also the ring thing is totally bill & ted đ«Łđ«¶ usually i like to proofread but i tried to write this quick and post late before bed so if itâs wonky anywhere â thatâs why
disc: i do not give permission to share my content outside of tumblr; please reblog and do not repost; my content (even sfw) is not meant for minors; i am not responsible for the media you consume online
You didnât even gasp or cry. There was no big reaction. No fanning or skipping in place or oh my god oh my god oh my god!âs You didnât faint. You didnât need to when it felt so natural, like it was meant to happen now.
But your heart swelled, oh, so so high into your chest when you woke up on the couch to see him on the floor in front of you, on one knee. Presenting to you one of those little plastic capsules you get from the quarter toy vending machines you see at the supermarket.
He presents it to you with such an earnest glint in his eyes, wide and puppy-like and nervous and excited, lips parted just barely as he takes low, deep breaths, trying not to seem like heâs out of breath but heâs very much out of breath.
You think about how cute he looks staring at you like that, then you wonder how long youâd been asleep so you could ask him to rewind the movie youâd been watching together, and then your eyes flick to the capsule in his cupped hands.
âWassat, Eds?â You rub a fist into your eye, sitting up on an elbow. He just nudges his cupped hands towards you, brows knitted together, nibbling his bottom lip now.
You smirk and pick up the capsule, pop it open and dump the contents into your open palm. Eddie holds his breath.
In your hand is a plastic ring, thin neon yellow band with a bright pink plastic heart adorning it.
You look at Eddie, Eddieâs been staring at you. You look at the ring.
âItâs a placeholder, I promise, I-Iâm saving up another three months at the shop for one Iâve been lookinâ at thatâs perfect, baby, itâs perfect butâ but then I saw the rings in the vending machine and I felt likeâ like it was a sign, yâknow, and then youâ god, you look so fucking cute when youâre napââ
You hold his cheeks tight and kiss him quiet, grinning so wide it hurts, the ring already settled nicely on your finger as you grab him and pull him in.
âOkay, Eddie,â you pant, giggling breathlessly.
âToday??â He gasps, nudging his nose along yours and kissing and kissing and kissing you.
âOkay, Eddie,â you laugh, tugging him into another kiss.
Heâs laughing and cackling and pulling you into him and collapsing back onto the floor and sliding his hands over all over you and kissing you all over your face as you laugh together.
Everyoneâs there within a few hours of you radioing them, carpooling in a few vehicles; they all hop out in their casual best grinning easy smiles, running to you both eagerly with congrats! and you guys are crazy! and did you expect anything different? Itâs Eddie and y/n!
Robin and Nancy whisk you away into the trailer, Eleven, Max, and Erica holding Eddie back as he watches them steal you from him, warning him not to peek until you were ready. Steve pats his back, and along with the other boys as well as Wayne they bide their time, Eddie attempting to chain smoke and Steve plucking away every single one â sorry man, Robinâs orders.
Dustin is choked up and weepy, happy for his friends, Mike and Lucas pretending theyâre above it while harboring teary eyes of their own as Will commends the decision, eagerly beginning a drawing. Steve sips beer with Eddie and Wayne, Eddieâs can trembling in his hand but he canât stop smiling.
âIâm marryinâ her, man.â
âYouâre marrying her,â Steve toasts, lifting his can and chuckling as the other two follow suit.
Max and Eleven pester the other boys with questions of whose turn itâd be next. Mike, of course, looked mortified. Lucas, more like he was envisioning, smiling a little â hiding it â but playfully brushing Max off while Erica encouraged her teasing.
Inside the trailer is all soft giggles and quiet murmuring. Nancy had brought a gift at your request â something cute but not, yâknow, too cute.
ây/n what does that even mean?â She had asked over her walkie.
âYou know what I mean, Nance,â you snort, trusting her judgement, and clamp down the radio antenna.
On the other side of town Nancy rolled her eyes. She knew what you meant.
You slide into a dress sheâd picked up on the way, a pale creamy color, simple and everyday â nothing fancy. She raises her eyebrows as you add another feature â Eddieâs Dio vest.
Robin sits you down and they fuss over your hair and makeup, Robin snipping little bits of hair ends away with Eddieâs kitchen shears to tidy things up, little puffs of Eddieâs hairspray here and there; Nancy dabs color into your lips and cheeks â a bit of mascara, a little dusting of powder.
They stand back and glance at each other before smiling at you.
âYou ready, y/n?â Robin asks, lifting an eyebrow.
âReady since this morning,â you reply.
They grin and each hold out a hand, which you take in both of yours as they hoist you up.
He canât breathe for a moment when you come back out, hidden behind Nance and Robin for a moment before you appear between them, tucking some hair behind your ear as you smile bashfully. Suddenly it was hard to look at him, you felt shy under his adoring gaze.
Eddie stands slowly, the others rising as well, and Wayne comes up to take your arm.
âGit in place, boy,â he reminds his nephew, and Eddie physically snaps out of it before tripping over himself to the backyard, the party laughing and following after.
âWhen youâre ready, sweetheart,â Wayne grumbles warmly, smiling under his stubble. He pats your hand linked around his arm.
âReady since this morning,â you repeat with a giggle.
Wayne leads you out back and everyone must have rehearsed when you were inside because theyâre all standing together watching for you. Max comes up and places a sunflower in your hands, you recognize from her motherâs garden. She kisses your cheek and joins the party. Itâs quiet save for the breeze and the birds chirping, and the thudding in your ears when you see Eddie, who stands away from the group with Dustin. Your heart soars to the moon and back and everything feels like itâs just been falling into place all day.
Wayne guides you forward, kisses your cheek before leaving you at Eddieâs side, Dustin standing with the two of you, sniffling and smiling shakily.
Eddie so very tenderly takes your hands into his and it feels like thereâs a weight on your gaze, canât make it up past his chest, but you feel his burning into you and it heats you up and makes you flustered, you fidget a little. But when you finally conquer the weight and your eyes meet you feel your soul take flight, your body relaxes and you soften into his touch with a feather-light sigh. Eddie looks like he canât believe his eyes, whispers a soft ohh my god when you meet his gaze and he has to stop himself from kissing you too early, until Dustin says,
âEddie just kiss her already.â
And he does with fervor, wrapping you against him and lifting you off the ground, you clutch the sunflower against his back. Your ears are suddenly filled with squeals and cheers and whistling and laughter and clapping.
âMan and wife!â Dustin declares, gesturing to your combined forms, happy tears running down his cheeks.
The party gathers around you both and you laugh. You laugh about how the world was ending a few years ago but how small of a problem it seemed now. You laugh because your family surrounds you and reminds you that the world is good and you are loved.
Maybe it wasnât real a real wedding, it wasnât official, maybe the ring was plastic, maybe it wasnât what a wedding was meant to be.
But it was Eddie, it was your friends â the party. So what? So what if it would be a while that he could afford a ârealâ ring â you didnât need it. So what if there wasnât a officiant â you both adored Dustin to bits. So what that the most obvious place to do this was in the backyard of your trailer â this was your home. This was your family.
The love was there and it filled you so full, and that was all you needed; thatâs all it took.
Later that night after the celebrations had dwindled down, Will gifts you both with the drawing heâd been working on all day â you and Eddie as your DnD characters, valiantly staring down a horde of demobats, weapons in hand.

7, 10, 20, and 21 for the art ask game OR ELSE
YIPPEEEEE! :3
7) Pretty much any physical medium I find incredibly impressive but ESPECIALLY oil paint. Bless your souls if you can make that medium work for you it looks incredibly intimidating đ«Ą. Seriously how. How do you get oil to work for you it looks terrifying. That and charcoal itâs such a messy medium to work with and in my experience Iâm really not fond of it but the people who do manage to make it work have my upmost respect.
10) I can totally see why you asked me this question specifically- itâs hard to decide but I think dresses are some of my favorite articles of clothing to draw. Thereâs just so many different styles, patterns, and materials you can work with for dress designs that itâs really a dream for me to work on JSNSJA. Also Iâm a sucker for historical dresses (mainly 18th century and Victorian gowns) and those are especially fun to work with because of their silhouettes.
20) Honestly? Hair is one of my favorite things to draw that some people find really difficult, especially with more complicated or detailed hair styles or hair accessories. I tend to go a little ham with hair for my character designs especially ones with long hair because itâs REALLY fun for me to draw or idly doodle. Iâm also a sucker for really fluffy hairstyles or little sidetails or just one long strand of hair on a character design đ«¶đ«¶đ«¶đ«¶
21) There are literally so many of these I could off about so Iâm gonna bullet point these:
Anime art styles but especially the art style used for Genshin Impact; the level of detail in those character designs is actually insane to me and the way theyâre animated in the character trailers is really impressive; and the way theyâre transferred onto a 3D model is really cool too! The Fontaine designs have definitely had some of the best transfers from 2D to 3D
Itâs hard to explain but 2D Styles with a lot of sharp/pointy edges? Or styles and designs that rely a lot on shapework- theyâre REALLY cool and the silhouettes from styles like that are very identifiable and easy to pick out on a lineup which I think is neat :}
Pixel Art. Like. Oh my god. Iâve seen some insane pixel art in the past and itâs straight up amazing to me. The level of detail that goes into those pieces too despite it being pixelated is just. Mmm. Tasty. Very good
Highly rendered artstyles with a lot of detail have my heart and soul and itâs why Iâve dabbled in rendering a couple times!!! Honestly more power to the people who render all the time for their finished pieces itâs so impressive
80s-90s anime or manga art styles like sailor moon honestly have my heart too especially because those were some of my OLD old inspirations for drawing when I was little- Iâve strayed a lot from that style since then but I still really like them đ
theyâre neat
