A/n bruh why did i do this to myself😭 i can't never get a favorite fictional character. anyway, I stayed up all night to watch vol. 2 and i dreamed this fic so it's small.

"Happy birthday darling, happy birthday to you." Eddie sang soundly into your ear. "Make a wish."

You closed your eyes and blew out the singular candle on the stack of pancakes he made you. Eddie's lips brushed against the top of your ear. He rubbed your shoulders and you hummed.

"What did you wish for?" He whispered, his warm breath tickling your neck.

You put the pancakes on the nightstand and turned in Eddie's lap and rested your hands on his cheeks. His eyes lit up the room and you would do anything to always see him smile. You stroked his cheekbones with your thumbs, smiling down at him.

"You." You leaned down to quickly kiss him. "Us." You kissed him again. "For us to be together forever."

Eddie grinned like a cheshire cat. "We will be," he said.

He punctuated his statement with a kiss on your ring finger. Your heart swelled at the thought of marrying Eddie. He knew you'd always wanted to marry him, but you didn't wanna marry young.

Meeting Eddie your sophomore year in art class had to have been fate. No one complimented you more than the crazy metal head. You would've never gotten with him if he hadn't have met your brother and became friends with him. Dustin was the whole reason you gave him a chance and you're glad you did.

"Gonna have us some little Munsons." You mumbled, wrapping your arms around Eddie's torso and burying your face in his chest.

"A big house with a white picket fence." Eddie nodded, kissing the top of your head as he rubbed your back.

"Grow old together and die in rocking chairs on the back porch." You chuckled.

"I'm not gonna grow old." Eddie laughed, shaking his head. "I don't wanna lose this masterpiece on my head."

"Me neither." You grinned, looking back up at him and touching his hair. "It's so beautiful.

"I knew that." Eddie rolled his eyes playfully.

"Babe."

You flinched, snorting as you lifted your head from the table. It looked like you fell asleep on your stats homework due to the fact that a piece of paper was sticking to your cheek. Your boyfriend, Austin, chuckled at your dazed state.

When you got back to your surroundings, your heart fell. This was the third time this week you found yourself dreaming about Eddie. It's been over a year now.

Austin noticed the tears that began to slip down your cheeks and pulled you into his arms. He's always reminded you of Eddie. Not only did his mid length shaggy hair remind you of Eddie, he treated you almost as good as Eddie. He had his days where he was different, but on his good days, you couldn't tell the difference between him and your late lover.

Austin knows about Eddie. He understood how you felt because his mother lost her second husband when he was a teenager and he learned how a woman grieves over the loss of someone. She did eventually remarry, but she was never as happy as she was with her second husband. Austin learned to accept that fact when he was comforting you in class.

"Do you wanna go see him?" Austin asked, rubbing your back. You nodded, so he helped you stand and get to the car.

When you visit the little headstone you and Dustin put behind his uncle's trailer, Austin stays in the car. The last thing he wanted to do was interrupt your time with the thought of Eddie. This little grave was all you had left.

As you sat on your knees, you sobbed into your hands. The picture of Eddie had been vandalized once again. You figured after all of the initial shock died down, the vandalism would stop, but it never did. You ripped the picture off the stone and crumbled it in your hand.

"Fuck this town." You rested your forehead on the grave. "You saved them and they still do this shit."

"Eddie, baby." You brushed his hair out of his face to help him see. You met Dustin's eyes, seeing your own looking back at you. "We're supposed to get gray together."

Eddie chuckled, blood slipping past his lips. "I told you I wasn't gonna lose this masterpiece," he said, struggling to touch his hair.

You smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "I love you," you said, against his cheek.

"I love you, too." Eddie nodded. You pulled away when he turned his head to Dustin. "I love you, man."

Tears rolled down his cheeks. "I love you, too." He cried.

"Sometimes when I'm with him, I can only see you," you said. You watched as your tears fell from your cheeks and onto the dirt below. "I swear he has the same hair and smile as you."

Thunder cracked a few miles away, but you didn't care. The world was just you and Eddie right now. You sniffled and rubbed your nose.

"He plays electric guitar." You sobbed into your hands at this point. All you ever wanted in life was to be with Eddie. You didn't want a high paying job. You didn't want a lot of money. All you wanted was Eddie, and that was ruined. "Sometimes I hear him playing our song and all I think about is you."

You felt a drop of rain hit your cheek, so you stood up. "I'll always love you, Eddie Munson," you said. "No matter who I'm with, I'll always go back to you."
