GARETH APPRECIATION POST!!!!

Bc he’s so cute and he deserves the world🤧💞🥹

[wherethecolorswontgo]

➳ Gareth smutty head cannons

Requested <3 @fynixsworld

Contrary to popular belief I think Gareth 100% is a dom

Now don’t get me wrong! he has his sub moments but, he just loves angry sex wayyyy too much

He easily loses his temper and there’s no better way to blow off steam

Like I can definitely see this man getting pissed off because of something Eddie said or maybe a shitty gig and just sneaking over to your house and fucking the absolute shit out of you

There’s no denying he loves when you pull his hair

Dare I say he also has a thing for back scratches

He makes sure you keep your nails long and manicured just for that reason

Shows them off like trophies to the hellfire guys

Gareth would most definitely DEFINITELY love you sitting on his lap at anytime but, he loves when you sit on his lap while he plays his drums

Before the guys get to his house for practice he likes to bend you over them for a quickie

He loves being ridden. Idc there’s no debate

Absolutely loves when you’re on top just fucking yourself and using him for your own pleasure

Thigh man

This man STAYS in between your thighs just going to town for hours

If there’s one thing Gareth can do it’s eat pussy

He was probably a virgin before you guys got together let’s be honest but still, Eddie taught him well.

Gareth learned everything he knows about sex from Eddie (that’s probably why he’s so damn good)

Gareth is a simple dude

All you have to do is kiss his neck and he’s ready to go

Gareth probably isn’t really into being called daddy

I mean if that’s your thing he’ll try it out but, I don’t see it being a turn on for him

Calling him baby on the other hand

Just praise him and call him baby

Tell him how good he’s making you feel and he’ll cum instantly

He’s still kinda shy about sex but only when you’re teasing him in public or something. When it’s just the two of you he’s a completely different guy

He gets very flustered when you tease him and tries to hide his boner

The first time he ever saw you in a swim suit he turned red

He couldn’t even glance at you without getting a boner

You could tell what was going on so you led him to a bathroom stall and quickly fixed his problem

Movie nights at his house end up with you guys fucking on the couch and ignoring the movie

The two of you have definitely fucked in the school bathroom at one point

He just skips 3rd period and meets you in the girls bathroom

Gareth’s car is the #1 place you guys fuck. On the way home after hellfire he’ll just pull onto this secluded little dirt road and tell you to climb in the back

The drive in theater is another place you guys always have sex

Literally Gareth is honestly down to fuck anytime, just say the word or call him and he’s on his way

Definitely fantasizes a lot in class and at lunch about fucking you. He zones out and just stares at your tits or something

Eddie has to snap him out of it and then teases him for being so damn horny

Guys I am so sorry this was a tad bit rushed! A lot has been going on recently but you guys are so understanding it’s amazing <33 I have a smut that’ll be posted tomorrow and quite a few more things in the works!! Love you guys

Dating Gareth Emerson Headcanons

I love this man. So. Much. SO HERE!

Gareth is a bean

A bean with anger issues but anyways--

He has ADHD but nothing can distract him from you

Except for squirrels

He's like a puppy!

He curls up on your lap like a cat tho

Is touching you constantly

Holding your hand, kissing your cheek, hugging you from behind, playing with your hair

Gareth really, really loves when you ask him to teach you to play his drums?

He'll sit you on his lap

Or on the side of the stool (cough cough, Heartstopper--)

And he'll direct your hands

It's the softest thing ever

One time you got really mad and he let you take it out on his drums

You may have busted through one--

It sounded absolutely terrible but it helped you a lot

Gareth was watching in awe the whole time

"How did I get so lucky to get you?"

"What do you mean?"

"You just look so beautiful."

He doesn't really like those typical pet names like babe or baby

He hates them, actually (or he claims to, he thinks they'll make him seem less tough, so he calls you babe and baby and sweetheart when none of the Hellfire guys are around)

So he'll call you something like fruit loop or chick flick

It doesn't make any sense to anyone but you guys

It's so stupid

Specifically loves calling you the one thing that makes you blush in front of the Hellfire Club

Because they'll ask you about it and tease you about it for the rest of lunch/the campaign

He's always telling them to shut up but he loves it because it means you'll sit on his lap and bury your face in his neck

"Gareth, make them stop," You'll whine.

"I don't think I will," Gareth will whisper in your ear and rub up and down your back.

Gareth will either pay 100% attetion to you or the campaign there is no in between

He gets super invested and won't take his eyes off the dice or his character sheet

But when you're at his house, he will not take his eyes off you for a second

Unless you're in the bathroom

He's respectful

And random kisses?

Hard kisses, too

It's stupid, he knows, but he sees those couples making out against lockers and wishes it was you and him

And you've done it once or twice

Not in a crowded hallway though

Gareth likes showing you off but your kisses are private

Well, not all of them

Just like... the rough ones

Which is 90% of them

(I'm not even half done, hang on to your butts, brochacos)

Gareth gets jealous so easily

If he sees you talking to Eddie or Jeff or Mike or Dustin or Lucas or (Freak 1, as he's known--)

He will freak the fuck out

Hugging you from behind, tugging on your hair, pulling you away, distracting you

"Gareth, babe, stop it!"

"Yeah, but we're gonna be late!"

"... late for what?"

"EXACTLY! LET'S GO!"

Gareth Emerson cannot lie for shit

So you always know when he's just jealous and wants you all to himself

But like... you have a life.

He likes to smell your hair...

Don't take that the wrong way he just really loves the way it smells

The coconut or strawberry or whatever

And he likes running his hands through your hair

Short or long, he doesn't give a flying fuck as long as you like it

He kind of likes it long though because you taught him how to braid

He's not good at it but he likes doing it because it's rythmic and gives him something to do

"Gareth!"

"I didn't do it!"

"Yes, you did!"

He acts like a toddler and has the anger issues of one

Which is super adorable but you also hate it--

It's like babysitting for free

But you love him so it doesn't matter

He's so sweet, too

Gareth will do anything for you

Jump off a bridge? Of course! Stick his drumsticks in his ears and make stupid faces? Sure! Kiss you in the rain? ~Chick flick~ Put on heels and take a polaroid photo? ...*questioning your relationship* Yes.

He's a lil stupid but it's okay

"Gareth, can we go home now? I just wanna spend time with you."

"Oh, come on, we just got here! What's the rush?"

"Babe. Can we go, please?"

"Y/n, can we please stay here?"

"I want you."

"I want you, too, you're my girl/boy/theyfriend."

"You're an idiot."

Gareth loves when you play with his hair

Carding your fingers through it, fiddling with the ends of it, braiding it a lil bit because it looks so cute--

He's easily overwhelmed, probably

Only at like parties and shit, not that you go to a lot of those

But the few you do go to?

He's begging to get the fuck out of there

"Y/n, can we just go, I don't like this, there's too many people here--"

"Just a few more minutes, okay? Then I promise we can leave, baby."

Melts like butter under your fingers if you call him baby

Gareth absolutely adores being called baby

But not around his friends

He has a reputation to keep up!

Gareth will be tough around them and again, like a puppy with you

I present to you...

✨Gareth Emerson✨, the most underrated side character in Stranger Things

[dwobbitfromtheshire]

Will and Gareth? Will and Gareth?! WILL AND GARETH?!! I did NOT know this was a ship I needed until now. No offense to Mike "it's not my fault you don't like girls," Wheeler, but Will deserves better. I have a feeling that Gareth can be a bit of a grumpy bear like Hopper, and Joyce notices when Will brings him around.

"It looks like we have the same taste in men," Joyce joked.

"Mom!"

Though Will was the one who started calling Gareth his grumpy bear, Joyce loved that and started to call Hopper that as well.

"Aw, look at our grumpy bears!"

"Joyce! We can hear you!"

[minniesmelody]

I just made these <3 feel free to use them, I would rather have you give credit but I don’t mind if you don’t want to ♥︎

[fvcking-panda]

Here's the thing:

Gareth is not canonically short, in fact, the actor who plays Gareth is actually around the same height than Noah Schnapp, both are in the average height.

BUT he looks smaller besides the Corroded Coffin members and that’s why everyone thought that Gwydion was short, but he’s kinda not, just has the bad luck to have a lot of giant co workers 💀

[lovely--lover]

❤ Gwydion Lashlee Walton ❤

[1lostsoul0fishbowl]

Eddie, defending Gareth to Hopper:

“Him and his mom fucking rescued a kitten and fed it from a bottle, okay? Does that really sound like such a horrible person to you?”

Just a little good luck

Summary Gareth needs good luck before a show

btw this is a fanfic showing out my headcannons come into play

Tw:smut p in v unprotected sex (wrap it before you tap it kids) slight praise and degrading kink.

your pov

“ hey sweet cheeks” a familiar voice made me look up, there standing was my boyfriend Gareth Emerson. “ hey love what’s up?” I asked him “ eh, I have a show today” I blushed, before every show we usually fuck. Leaves me completely unable to walk but fuck he goes rough “when? In a couple of hours or a few minutes?” I asked sitting up and slightly opening my legs “ in like I dunno 2 hours” he smirked. Normally how long away the show it is how long he goes at it. I’m screwed😃

Out of both of yours pov

he climbed in between your legs, grabbing under your knees he pulls you down onto your back, he had been waiting to do this, to bury his dick into you. Ever since he got told of the next show. “ gotta be quiet bubs, remember dads down stairs” you let out a slight ‘O’ and then you nodded. He shimmed off your pants and saw how you were wearing no underwear “ tsk naughty, what happened to your underwear?” With no response he chuckled “such a slut for me hey?” Then he slithered in two fingers into you, a gasp came from you but he covered your mouth “ sshh” and with that you nodded again. The coil in your stomach started tightening “ you gonna cum on my fingers baby? Yeah? Okay you can” you let out a muffled whimper when you came. Gareth took his fingers out “ open up” and he stuck his fingers in your mouth, when you finished he shoved the same fingers back into you “h-hey!” You gasped, Gareth grabbed the nearest shirt and shoved into your mouth “ shut up, we can’t let dad hear” tears started to form in your eyes when he started to thrust his fingers around. “Got another one for me? There we go, there we goooo” and again his fingers came out covered in your cum. Gareth took his shirt out of your mouth, “ you look puffed baby” he chuckled “ that’s sad hey?” He soon removed his lower half of clothing, “I’m gonna be gentle at first okay?” You nodded, he slowly entered your cunt. “ o-oh shit” he groaned when you clenched around him, soft moans coming from you and whimpers from him filled the room as he thrusted “ it feels r-really good” you moaned “ I know sugar I know but you gotta be quiet for me” he started to thrust harder “ s-slut” he mumbled (rude bitch🥺) “ s-shit, don’t you even think about cumming, I’m gonna do it with you” he groaned “ o-okay” “ good girl/pet” you had to hold it in until he came “ oh fuck, your way too tight” he laughed, he tried to pull out but you stopped him “noo, i feel full” “ awee you feel full” Gareth teased “ yeah…” “ okay I won’t pull out” “ thank you” “your welcome”

the end

oof that took me a hot minute, it’s a big short but I’ll work on making longer stuff for you guys!

[wherethecolorswontgo]

Hello!!! Can I ask for a needy Gareth? or just general fluffy dating headcanons? He needs more fics omg, hes so fine its killing me. Thank you so much for reading this!!<333

FLUFFY GARETH <3333

I agree!! He definitely doesn’t get enough love

He absolutely LOVES when you play with his hair. No debate on this it makes him WEAK

The key to calming this boy down is to just hold him and pet his hair :)

Gareth Is such a sofie, he tries to act tough in front of the hellfire guys but you know thats not the real him

Real Gareth likes to get all cozy on your bed, head in your lap while you play with his hair and hum along to a night like this by the cure

Gareth is DEFINITELY a needy guy, i mean come on look at him

He just wants you to hold his hand and let him walk with you EVERYWHERE

I swear he’s like a puppy

Of course he denys all of those things but he’s not a very good liar

If you’re not in hellfire let me tell you. Gareth having to be away from you during hellfire night is a fucking CURSE

He literally gets yelled at so many times for not focusing on the game

He just can’t be away for too long :(

This boy is constantly knocking at your window in the middle of the night

Honestly its very rare for him to sleep without you, without fail he’s at the window every night

Gareth just loves cutesy nicknames i can tell :))

Calls you baby, sugar, honey, etc

Honestly princess is probably his fav

Making you giggle is his favorite hobby. Nothing else beats it (not even dnd)

If you’re in hellfire club then oh god is he clingy.

Either he has to be touching you or you touching him, as long as he can feel you it doesn’t matter

To be honest you’re one of those couples thats so cute it makes the guys sick

No matter how hard he tries to seem tough he always cracks just a little bit

He can’t help but melt when you give him little pecks on the cheek or tug on his hair

You get at LEAST 2 phone calls a day from Gareth whining about how much he misses you

You always have to hang up the phone first because if not Gareth will stay on the line FOREVER

He’s one of the “no you hang up” boyfriends

Gareth is such a sweetheart <3

He just loves you so much he can’t stay away for too long!!

Oh god i hope this was okay! 😭 thank you so much for the request <333

OKAY SO A I HAVE A GARETH REQUEST FOR A SHY READER, you can make it platonic or romantic but like.. i feel like there isn’t enough for us shyer people

TITLE: Electric (Gareth Emerson x reader)

✌🏻Masterlist Taglist, Requests, and Works in progress!

Please check bio to see if requests are open before sending any in! 

Pairing: Gareth Emerson x reader

Prompt/summary:  Chrissy drags the reader out to a concert, but someone catches her eye and makes her feel electric

Authors note: GAHHHHH I’m so excited about this one y’all. This is the first full fic I’ve written in a while and I’m so happy. There are hints of social anxiety in this, based of my own personal experience, but it’s mostly Gareth being a charmer. Enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You’re not… exactly sure how you ended up here. Concerts weren’t really your thing, but somehow Chrissy Cunningham had convinced you to go, just this once, so she wouldn’t be alone. 

Her charming smile and the promise of her buying you your ticket and dinner made you cave, but as soon as you saw the drummer of Corroded Coffin made you realize if she had bribed you with that instead you wouldn’t have been so hesitant. 

Metal was never your thing. However, if you could watch him forever you surely would make it your thing. 

His hair hung like a brown fluffy halo around his head, but even through the bangs stuck to his forehead with sweat you could still see his bright eyes. Eyes that reflected the energy of the band's performance on stage. You knew you were staring for way too long, and you wanted to look away, but it was like watching a car crash. You know you should look away, but sheer awe and curiosity kept your eyes trained on him.

His eyes flicked over to you. Maybe he saw the way your eyes widened, or how you tighten your grip on the can of soda, but he sent a smirk your way that made you want to melt into the floor. The feeling that settled into your stomach wasn’t nerves this time, but instead something different. Something that made your heart pound and breath stutter, in a good way of course.

“Who is that?” You yelled to Chrissy over the music. She followed your gaze across the empty bar to the drummer sitting on the left side of the stage and smirked, “Oh, so Gareth huh?”

You blushed furiously, “I- no. I just wanted to know-“ Chrissy laughed, clapping a hand on your shoulder, “No, no, I’ll introduce you two. Just you wait.”

As far as she knew you had never mentioned about a relationship or even a crush at the time that she knew you. And as Eddie played the last chords of their closing song Chrissy grabbed your hand before pulling you out of the bar and around back to where the band had parked their van to load. 

Your palms were sweaty. You checked your hair and makeup in the reflection of the van as Chrissy chattered about cheer and the next game coming up.

She noticed your lack of conversation and sighed, “Garreth’s cool, I promise. He can be kinda… loud sometimes but I swear he’s a sweetheart. You two would be so cute!”

You could puke. 

Nerves built up in your stomach and by the time the band kicked open the back door to begin packing up the van you were an inch from running off without Chrissy. 

“You came!” Eddie cheered, setting down his guitar case and wrapping Chrissy into a tight side hug.

“Couldn’t miss your biggest show of the year,” she giggled.

“Oh just you wait,” Eddie said, holding up a finger in proclamation, “We were invited to a battle of the bands up in Pikeville.”

The band had begun to pack up the van, but you still didn’t catch sight of the drummer

“Really?” 

Eddie smirked “Yours truly will be jamming it out in competition with bands from all over the county. 

“How many heavy metal bands could there possibly be in our county?”

You meant to say it softly but Eddie heard it and sighed dramatically.

“Gareth! Come show her the flyer!”

If you could have died right then, you would’ve. Just to save you the embarrassment. 

The drummer came waddling out, a few cases in tow that he dropped gently to the ground before pulling the mentioned flyer out of his pocket.

“It’s gonna be awesome!” He cheered, swiping his fluffy hair out of his eyes and putting the paper into your hand. 

You glanced over it, not taking in any of the information while trying to keep yourself from hiding from his beaming smile. 

“Are you gonna come gorgeous?”

You looked up, blushing under his gaze, “Um… I’m not sure-”

“Oh she’ll be there, right (Y/n)?”

You looked between her and Gareth.

“Right (Y/n)?” Gareth smiled.

How could you ever say no to that?

“I’ll pay for your ticket,” Chrissy grinned.

She really didn’t have to, “I’ll be there.”

Gareth smiled even wider, if that was even possible. Chrissy, now satisfied with her matchmaking, followed Eddie back inside to help pack up the equipment leaving you and Gareth in the chill of the night. 

Gareth began loading his cases into the open doors of the van. 

“Need any help?” You offered. 

Gareth chuckled, “A pretty thing like you shouldn’t be worrying about a dingy drum set.”

You giggled, trying to relax yourself as you sat on the edge of the bumper. That feeling was there again, and your heart skipped a beat when his eyes caught yours again. A breeze picked up in the alley making you shiver and blowing leaves across the pavement. A shiver passed through your body.

“Here,” Gareth said, offering you his jean jacket before you had even noticed he had taken it off.

Your eyes widened, “Oh, no I’ll be fine. I promise. Chrissy and I are about to leave anyway, gotta be home by eleven.”

Gareth gently grabbed your arm gently before placing his jacket into your hand, “Seriously, take it.”

You sighed, pulling it on before resuming your position on the edge of the van. Eddie came out briefly to toss some cables onto the ground which Gareth began to wrap up and put away, “Now you really look like a groupie huh?”

You chuckled, “That’d be a first.”

“You should wear denim more often, the punk rock look suits you.”

“Does it really?” You laughed, finally uncrossing your arms and letting the sleeves fall past your fingertips, “Maybe I should just stick to my cardigan and jeans.”

“How’d a pretty girl like you end up at something like this?” Gareth asked, tossing the last wire into the van and taking a seat beside you.

You could feel his warmth even through the jacket and part of you wanted to lean into him, “You’re a charmer. And the same reason Chrissy is, just got invited.”

Gareth wrapped his arm around you, but quickly dropped it when he felt your shoulders shift.

“No-” you said, maybe a little too quickly, “It’s- it’s fine, I promise. Just…”

“Shy?”

You nodded, finally turning to see how close his face was.

“Well, if you don’t feel too shy, we’re all heading to Earnie’s after the show next week. You should ride with us.”

You laughed, “I think my parents would kill me.”

His arm came back up around your shoulders, keeping you warm despite the October breeze, “Why? What’s the worst that could happen?” You shrugged, earning a light chuckle from the boy, “Maybe I’m just trying to be a gentleman and take a pretty lady out on a date after a very entertaining show.”

“Maybe you are,” you said, your voice barely above a whisper as his eyes flicked down to your lips.

The back door of the bar opened once again, with the rest of Corroded Coffin and Chrissy exiting. She almost didn’t notice where you were as she was laughing hard at something Eddie had just said. But as soon as she did her smile was even wider.

“You ready to head out?” she said, and the look she gave you suggested she was going to question you the whole ride home.

“Yeah, one sec,” you said, about to pull off the jacket to return to Gareth when he stopped you.

“Keep it,” he smirked, “You can give it back to me at the battle.”

Eddie whistled, making you blush furiously but you pulled the jacket back on anyway with a small smile.

“Let’s go boys,” Eddie said, throwing open the driver's side door.

You really didn’t want to get up. Leaving his warmth and this feeling he gave you when he smiled felt like a prison sentence.

Chrissy began her trek back down the alley towards where she parked. Which unfortunately meant that you had to follow her. 

A soft grasp on your wrist made you stop, and a chaste kiss was pressed to your cheek, “See you later darling.”

He smirked at your flushed complexion before hopping into the back of the van and closing the door with a small wave. You waved back shyly before walking swiftly to join Chrissy.

It wasn’t until you got halfway home, and talked with Chrissy long and in depth about what happened, that you realized what that feeling was.

It was electric.

GARETH E. X GN!READER : MOVIE NIGHT TURNED TO CUDDLES. 🤭

Gareth Emerson x gn!reader

Warnings: swearing

The basement smelled like teenage boy and feet. The Hellfire Club was stretched out across the couches, fixated on The Goonies. The tape whirred and clicked wildly in the VHS player, the static popping of the screen occasionally scaring one of the boys. Gareth was half asleep, holding a half empty bowl in his arms, popcorn spilling onto the carpet. Y/n slid off their couch and crawled over to Gareth.

"Hey, Gareth," They muttered. "I'm gonna eat your popcorn, okay?"

Gareth mumbled, "Nah, don't take my... popcorn..."

"You're not eating it..."

"Issss mine!" He yanked the bowl away from Y/n. They sat next to him and snatched a handful out of the bowl. "Stop it!"

"Oh, come on, GareBear. You're asleep!" Y/n slipped their fingers into Gareth's hair, playing with his curls.

"I am not," Gareth's heavy voice contradicted his words. "'M wide awake." He leaned into Y/n's touch, "Can you braid it again?"

Y/n grinned, "For some popcorn."

"Hate you," Gareth sighed as he offered up the bowl. Y/n took a handful of popcorn and threaded Gareth's hair into braids.

"You know, you look--"

"Stop talking over there!" Eddie screeched at the pair, eyes not leaving the screen.

Y/n lowered their voice and leaned down to Gareth, laying his head in their lap. "You look real cute when you let me do your hair."

"I do not." He protested, blushing a bit at the proximity. He couldn't be this close to his crush without showing his affection towards them. "But in what way?"

Y/n hummed in response. "What do you mean?"

"Like, cute in a dateable way, or..."

"Yeah, sure," Y/n pecked Gareth's forehead. "Go to sleep, Garebear."

"Fineee," Gareth mumbled, getting comfortable in Y/n's lap. They tossed a blanket over Gareth and leaned back a little bit, trying to fall asleep in a good position. "You alright?"

"Totally perfect," Y/n tenatively touched Gareth's hand and he eagerly interlocked their fingers. Gareth gently brushed his lips across Y/n's knuckles. "That's even more perfect."

interruptions- gareth emerson

gareth emerson x fem!munson!reader

summary: eddie walks in on his sister and his best friend having !sex!

warnings: mention of sex, but no genuine smut, cursing

you had to be kidding. eddie looked at you and gareth in complete surprise and disgust. one of his best friends sitting in his little sister's bed. it was a horrendous sight to see for the poor boy. him shutting the door and consistently screaming "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK" at you two as he left.

you were completely embarrassed. eddie had caught you and gareth in the middle of fucking. literally could have been the worst time for your older brother to walk in the house. in his perspective, he just wanted to ask you if you wanted to hang out. but you had.... other plans. and he was traumatized.

gareth was just as embarrassed as you, maybe even more than you. he didn't expect his best friend to walk in on him literally fucking his sister. he was so embarrassed that tears were pricking in his eyes. after eddie shut the door, gareth immediately pulled out and laid down. hiding his face in your neck.

you held his head and tried to stop the tears that were coming out. you weren't sobbing you just had some small tears from being scared and embarrassed. you looked at gareth. he was literally terrified, also not to mention utterly embarrassed.  

you could hear the small sniffles coming from him. you felt horrible. you kissed his head and he slightly pulled away. his eyes were slightly red from the tears. you had never seen him cry. sure you had seen gareth upset or embarrassed but you had never seen him cry. knowing that stroking his hair calmed him down you immediately put your hand on his head. stroking his hair as he wrapped his arms around you.

"hey it's okay, if eddie has a problem with us that's his fault," you whispered.

you shimmied your body helping yourself turn to look at your boyfriend. one hand still in his hair, the other now holding his face. your thumb rubbing away the extra tears that fell from his eyes. he nodded, complete putty in your hands. you motioned for him to sit up. knowing that you two would need to brave up and confront eddie, the hell-raising older brother. gareth sat up but didn't move and neither did you. you looked at your feet, completely nervous and hiding your body with your knees to your chest. gareth didn't take his eyes off of you. the tears had stopped after you pet his hair. he may have been a big baby when it came to you but if he needed to protect your relationship you two had tried so hard to keep a secret he would do anything.

thanks to eddie shutting your door gareth had felt confident enough to put his clothes on. and find you some new ones since the others were nowhere to be found. he grabbed one of his old t-shirts you had stolen, along with a pair of your sweatpants, and some new panties. after putting his clothes on he helped you get up. you put on your clothes and immediately after, gareth snatched you up in a hug. yes, he was scared to talk to eddie about your relationship but he knew you were even more scared than he'd ever be.

you two stood there for a little while longer. this time it was your turn to cry. you didn't believe a single thing you had told gareth. you would have a big problem if eddie had a problem that you and his best friend were in a relationship. the guilt sank in. you were full-on sobbing. your head in gareth's chest as he held you. mumbling small words and phrases. one of his hands started rubbing your back. trying to calm you down. small kisses were placed on the crown of your head.

"hey, hey, y/n it's okay. as you said if eddie has a problem with us being together that's his problem and there's nothing stopping us" he said to you.

"it's just-" you choked a sob out.

"it's just what baby?" he asked

"he's my big brother, your best friend" you sobbed.

"and what about it? there's absolutely nothing and no one in this world that would stop me from loving you," he said.

you couldn't help but try to smile. it was hard though. he had the confidence you just had. if you were to ask him if he was scared he'd put on a tough guy facade and tell you no, and you knew it. but what you didn't know was that he didn't care if he was scared. he loved you. and that's what was helping him stay strong.

"it's just eddie sweetheart, he's gonna be okay," he smiled at you.

you nodded. wiping the stray tears. your sobs dying down to just some occasional sniffles. gareth moved his hands to your face. his big thumbs wiping the tears. you looked into his big green eyes. they were full of love. love for you. he looked right back at you. the smallest but comforting smile on his face. he leaned in and pressed his lips to yours. moving in sync for a few seconds.

as you two pulled away he immediately pecked your face. peppering you with kisses. small giggles erupted from you both. he was trying so hard not to move his lips down to somewhere else. but your childlike giggles were music to his ears.

there was a loud knock on your bedroom door startling you two. you knew who it was. it was eddie. the only other person in the house, though he wasn't supposed to be. the embarrassment sinking back into you. gareth looked right at you. you were cemented to the ground. he let you go, but you grabbed his hand and followed him. gaining some confidence. you knew you had to. you couldn't let gareth do all the talking. he would crumble. and his ego was already broken, due to eddie walking in on you two at your most vulnerable state.

gareth opened the door. eddie looking just as embarrassed and uncomfortable as you. eddie peeked in to look at you. you peered at him around gareth's arm. the comfort of his body shielding you.

"you uh, you wanna talk," eddie asked.

"kinda have to man" gareth spoke up.

you all walked to the living room. you couldn't speak. you hardly even wanted to move. the anxiety making it hard to even breathe. your feet padding across the hardwood in the kitchen. eddie had already planted himself onto the couch. looking at gareth as he sat down beside him. now they were both looking at you as you slowly (but surely) made your way to where they were. you sat on the floor. not knowing where to sit since both boys were on the couch.

"so uhm, why didn't you tell me. i mean I'm now permanently scarred" eddie looked at you and gareth.

"didn't want you to be mad" you mumbled.

if they were being honest they weren't expecting you to speak. but nonetheless, gareth was proud of you. he knew you could do it. face your older brother and tell him the truth. no matter how hard it would be. gareth reached down to grab you and pull you to the couch. you now being sat in between your brother and boyfriend.

"if you two would have told me I wouldn't be mad. just would have had to have a talk with gareth." he stated.

the anxiety still there in all of you but slowly going away as you heard him say that. you nodded squeezing gareth's hand. him smiling. you leaned into his shoulder. eddie looked at the both of you. he seemed happy, still uncomfortable at what happened that made you three have the talk, but still happy to see his little sister find someone. he could tell just by looking at you two now that you loved each other.

"I'm happy for you y/n, you know out of anyone at hawkins you found a good one." eddie smiled.

"I'm sorry we didn't tell you sooner man," gareth said.

eddie nodded, knowing what could have gone through your heads. if he was being honest he had hidden some relationships from you, so he knew it wouldn't be fair on him to be mad at you. he was slightly uncomfortable at knowing that you two were having sex, but still nonetheless happy for you. he knew gareth would treat you properly.

"I don't really wanna see yall do that again so next time, leave a note, warn me ahead of time that would be really fucking great," eddie said.

you and gareth laughed at eddie. nodding and telling him that you would most definitely let him know so this didn't happen again. eddie then got up and told you that he was leaving and that you two could carry one with it.

gareth looked at you, making you look at him. a small smirk formed on his lips and you rolled your eyes. he was immediately in the mood again but you were still slightly embarrassed. he leaned in for a kiss, you granting him permission but swiftly pulling away a few second after.

"can we just watch movies for the rest of the night, I'm kinda tired" you muttered earning a sheepish smile from gareth.

he nodded and pecked your cheek. knowing that you were exhausted from the good cry you had and the embarrassment. he didn't want to push anything onto you, especially sex. you got up and he soon followed. you two picked out a movie to watch and put it into the VHS player. gareth grabbed the blanket that he bought for you and you both situated yourselves on the couch. all you two wanted to do was be wrapped up and cuddling the night away.
