TWO MONTHS
- work is taking a heavy toll on your boyfriend. (patrick verona x gn!reader, angst and slight fluff, established relationship)
Tumblr media
word count: 657
a/n - another patrick fic :) i love him so much it’s not even funny. he’s my current hyperfixation- that being said, to all my patrick lovers out there, i’m planning a 3 part series for him <3 it’s called the summer before senior year and hopefully i get around to finishing it lol
Tumblr media
Patrick closes the door to your apartment with a heavy sigh. The day rests heavily on his hunched shoulders, leaking through his pores as grease and dejection. You stir from your place on the couch. It’s 12:24 AM, and he is just returning from work. His hair is messy, tied up in a frizzy ponytail, and his eyes hold no sparkle. He doesn’t look like himself anymore. Your brows furrow, the weight of his condition nearly bringing tears to your eyes.
“Pat, it’s past midnight.” You murmur, reaching up to cradle his face in your hands. There is a smudge of dirt on his face, which you wipe away with delicate fingers. He melts under your touch. “This isn’t healthy.” He takes both of your hands in his, kissing each one gently.
“I have to.” He grimaces. “Rent’s gone up, baby. You know that.” You lead him to your bed. The sheets are messy, as they always are. In his exhaustion, he does not care; not like he ever did, anyways. “The boys at the car shop offered me this, and I took it.” It hurts you so badly to see him like this. He seems flat, dull, lifeless. Nothing like the Patrick you met, and nothing like you ever wish him to be again. You need him to be happy. He deserves it, if nothing else. He deserves everything good- he deserves the sunshine and tender love and a quiet kiss of calm, but you can only offer him so much.
He lays back, and you pull the sheets over his chest. “I can take a second job.” You say, tracing circles on his chest. He’s too tired to take off his clothes, and you won’t force him to. He’ll be out of the house by 5:00, and he needs all the sleep he can get. He shakes his head at your suggestion, looking at you with soft eyes.
“You have college and the diner already. You’re stretched as thin as you can be.” He whispers, threading his hand through yours again.
“I still have free hours. Not much, but enough to get you some proper rest.” You manage to say. The bags under his eyes speak for themselves. He’ll end up dead if he keeps working like this. You can’t do this without him, any of it. If he dies, if he ends up in some hospital being fed by the few coins you have left dripping through his veins, you wouldn’t be able to handle it. You would gladly work every hour of every day just to see him healthy again. That isn’t realistic, though, and you know it. He’ll never let you take on that burden. You love him for it, but sometimes, his stubborn nature takes hold of him.
“No. This works, what we’re doing. We’ll be fine.” His voice is scratchy and low, but with just enough force to let you know he means it. When he looks at your face, eyes shining with unshed tears, his heart shatters. He kisses your hands again. “I promise, baby, we’ll be out of this soon enough. In two months we’ll have the money to take a break for a little bit. I’ll work lighter hours and we might even have enough saved to take you out on a proper date.” He smiles. You laugh quietly, though the sound is choked. Hot tears force themselves out of your eyes.
“Two months.” You repeat. He nods. “Two long ass fucking months.”
He starts to laugh, slowly at first, until you join. You wrap your arms around him as you giggle into his chest, and his whole body is shaking with the force of his snickering. 
“Two goddamn bitches of months.” He offers, still grinning like a madman. He laughs, and you laugh in his arms, and for the first time in a long time, you think that things might end up working out.

Dating Patrick Verona
Warnings : mentions of smoking // drug use, mentions of using a switchblade. 
fem!reader x Patrick Verona from 10 things I hate about you
— — —
Tumblr media
- At first you were a bit scared of Patrick.  I mean, who wouldn’t be?  This guy eats live animals, according to everyone else, so if he could do something as terrible as that who knows what else he’s capable of?
-  No one really talks to him besides his little group of delinquents, so he’s pretty much a loner and because of his reputation a lot of people fear him.  However.  No one else seems to think about how dangerously attractive he is, so in a way, that makes you a loner as well.
- When you try bonding with him in class, or even just talking to him, he immediately looks at you like you're some crazed junkie who lost her way — some psycho who wants herself killed.  Partially right.
♡ You’re the only person in Patrick’s life who sees him for how he truly is without all the false rumors going around, harmless and harmful.  In truth, Patrick’s actually pretty interesting to observe because how can someone be so stupid yet being so inhumanly intelligent at the same exact time?
♡ Patrick is extremely petty when it comes to jealousy.  If he sees a guy flirting with you, he grabs your face and for those next few seconds his lips don’t leave yours — just so they get the message.  He’s only touchy and shows PDA for the only reason of basically claiming you as his.
♡ He always picks you up in his car when you two go out, whether you like it or not, because that’s his way of showing you he cares when he can’t show it any other way. 
♡ In quiet moments, he asks you what’s on your mind, what you're thinking about, what you want to do in the future, why you want to go where you want to go, what happened in your childhood that hurt you, because he wants to get to know you on the most personal level. 
♡ Since he has such a dirty mind, any chance he gets he’ll make anything you say or do sexual.  He thinks its funny and more importantly it makes you mad so it’s even better in his opinion.
♡ When you two are alone and out of sight of the public he’s actually sweet and focuses on you.  Patrick is so touch starved but won’t show it so when you do small things like move his hair out of his face or fix his clothes, it sends his heart racing.
♡ He may not like admitting defeat but if there's one thing he will not tolerate is losing.  That being said, if he screws up and you two get into an argument about something he’s going to do everything in his power to make it up to you.  He’ll bring flowers, your favorite food, bring you your favorite book SIGNED by the author ((if they're not dead that is)), or a special mixtape of all the songs that remind him of you. 
♡ He could care less about what other people say about him, it happens all the time, if anyone says anything about you though is unacceptable and punishable by piercing them a new hole with a switchblade in the leg.
♡ “You got to try it just once.” He asks when you tell him to quit smoking, “I'm sure it'll be worth your while.  Mary jane’s an old friend, and she certainly knows how to loosen those screws of yours.  What do you say?  I’ll shotgun you, so it won’t hurt.”
♡ He won’t inadvertently say it, but he loves holding your hand or holding your wrist if you’re walking together anywhere.
♡ When it comes to saying ‘I love you,’ he’s not entirely sound on the idea, but if he knows how much it means to you he’ll find other ways to say it — begrudgingly.

Meeting and Dating Patrick Verona
Tumblr media
(Not my gif)(Requested by anonymous)
(One of the titans has finally been completed. Amen.)
- When you first heard about the rumors that surrounded Patrick Verona, you’d genuinely thought that they were jokes. Lit a state trooper on fire, sold his own liver to buy a new set of speakers: were your classmates like actually serious? 
- It was funny the first few times the gossip came up in conversation but after a while, it just started to get a little sad. You were in high school and your peers were still just as gullible as the kids who got scared by the drip, drip story or the tale of the clown statue. 
- Admittedly, the delinquent occasionally intimidated you as well, but you were scared of him the same way you’d be scared of any other person at your school; particularly someone as openly hostile as he was. He wasn’t an arson enthusiast or a criminal in your eyes, he was just a guy who’d maybe humiliate you or purposefully inconvenience you if you happened to get on his nerves one day. 
- And yet, regardless of this fear, you still couldn’t stop yourself from looking at him and developing an interest. You considered him completely out of your league and entirely unattainable: someone who would never even think to look your way and who probably already had a beautiful girlfriend who was way cooler than you in every conceivable way possible.
- It’s the reason why you placated yourself with silent devotion instead of actually acting upon your feelings: why you opted for secret glances and daydreams that nobody else would ever find out about or catch on to; unless they were monitoring you 24/7 and/or had a probe in your silly little lovestruck brain. 
- Yet someone did catch onto it, the exact same person your affections were pointed towards....
- A lot of people look at Patrick; a lot of people stare and a lot of people look away quickly when he manages to catch them. He’s generally pretty used to it. What he isn’t used to is a pretty girl acting all timid and embarrassed when she accidentally meets his eyes: not disgusted by or scared of him but actually kind of shy.
- It takes him a little while to realize it; to notice the difference between your gaze and everyone else’s, but when he does finally manage to put a finger on it, he finds it sort of amusing. You like him. Cute....
- It’s not cute for you though, not when he confronts you at you locker and asks you why you’re always staring at him, a fake smile plastered across his face; grin looking more like bared teeth than an actual sign of genuine kindness. It’s not cute when he begins putting words into your mouth as you struggle to explain, watching you closely as you nervously deny his ideas; up until he mentions how “maybe you just have a crush on him”.
- It’s completely humiliating staring at the floor as you anticipate his response, waiting for his laughter or something equally cruel to come after the realization inevitably dawns on him. Yet all he does is let out an interested hum before he turns and walks away, leaving you standing at your locker, wondering if you’ll even be able to face him the next day in class. 
- Fortunately for you; or perhaps unfortunately, you’ve officially sparked his interest, and now that he knows you have a thing for him, he’s determined to get to know you and see how deep this infatuation of yours goes; along with whether or not you’re actually worth his time. 
- He doesn’t ask you out just yet but he does start to hang around you a bit, testing you every now and again, pushing your buttons in order to get a grasp of your personality. In the beginning, he tries to intimidate you: corners you a little, gives you blank stares, takes your things and refuses to give them back until he decides he’s gotten what he’s looking for. 
- That’s how the shift in his personality begins: he snatches your pencil case off your desk just as the bell rings and subsequently forces you to follow him, letting you tail him awkwardly down the hallway as he tosses it up and down in the air. You expect his usual tough guy attitude but when he finally whirls around to face you, he gives you a slightly curious look and “asks” if you’re afraid of him. 
“You’re not afraid of me, are you?” 
“Not really.” You sigh in response, slightly nervous to find out what he’s trying to get at. 
“Most people are.” He comments, his hands ceasing their throwing and catching as he walks closer to you.
“Most people think you ate an entire duck.” You respond.
“Maybe I did,” He says before he begins to grin. “Though I do prefer eating other things.”
“Pencils?” You ask, glancing down at your pencil case that he’s still holding onto. 
- When you look back up at his face, you’re somewhat surprised to see that there’s a genuine smile pulling at his lips. He hands you the pencil case and you take it, glancing at him one last time before walking away.
- Like I said before: shift in behavior. Suddenly, everybody's favorite juvenile delinquent is acting like the two of you are best friends, sitting with you like it’s the most normal thing in the world for him to do and conversing/flirting with you whenever he can. He even starts following you around after school, somehow constantly running into you and almost always teasingly insisting that he goes there all the time. 
- After a while, you just start to get used to it: expect him to be there and sit with you and flirt between every other breath of his. You start to flirt back too, loosening up as you realize he isn’t out to get you and bantering with him whenever he tries to go around and tease you. 
- The two of you just start to click: your true personalities shining through and molding together far better than either of you could have ever anticipated. He surprises you with how different from your expectations he winds up being and yet, he’s everything you could have wished for and more. He feels the same way about you. 
- So it’s no surprise when he tells you that he’ll take you to that one event you’ve been gushing about whenever you see flyers for it on your daily hangouts or pass the part of town it’s being held in. And in the middle of it, when he looks at you and your excited face like you hung the moon and the stars, its no surprise when he grabs you by the face and kisses you, gentle and loving and sweet. 
- And it’s no surprise when you find yourselves unable to stop for the rest of the night, clinging to and kissing each other like two lovestruck dorks. You’re certain you’ll be that way for the rest of your lives....
- One of the best parts of dating Patrick is seeing him go from an intimidating badass to a clingy lovestruck fool who worships the ground you walk on. He might of let his more sensitive side show before the two of you started dating but nothing could have prepared you for the sheer amount of affection and devotion that pours out of him the minute he decides that he loves you. Suddenly he’s doting on you like his life depends on it: holding and touching you as much as he can and adoring every inch of you. Not to mention his infatuation with receiving the same level of affection from you. 
- That being said: he still likes to portray himself as an intimidating badass so the pda in your relationship is definitely a little varied. He almost always likes having some form of contact with you but it changes depending on your company: cycling through handholding, arms around your shoulders, tight grips on your thighs, and full on makeout sessions. When you first start hanging out, people wont be able to tell if you’re close friends, dating, just plain hooking up, being held hostage, or hiring him as your bodyguard. 
- He particularly likes kissing your neck but he tends to just kiss everywhere he can reach. Wrists, hands, shoulders, face, head, neck: everywhere. 
- Slow, soft, loving, and deep kisses: that’s a lot of adjectives but his kisses deserve and warrant them. The two of you get lost in them and he tends not to care who sees; hopefully you aren’t terribly embarrassed by your peers catching him tonguing you on the school benches since most of your kisses evolve into makeout sessions. 
- He smacked that security guards ass, you're telling me he wouldn't pat yours on occasion as well?
- That being said, on a sweeter note, he also has a habit of brushing your hair behind your ear. You both keep extra hair ties on your wrists for each other; regardless of how common it is for either of you to use them or not. 
- He typically chooses to be the big spoon when the two of you cuddle but more often than not, you just wind up in a tangle of limbs and hair. He’s a pretty big fan of cuddling so you’re found in bed together pretty often; usually with him using you as a teddy bear or doing other things....
- He likes being called “pretty boy” and I refuse to believe otherwise. 
- Speaking of terms of endearment: he tends to call you girlie and “my girl”, as well as princess, angel and a menagerie of other pet names. Sometimes he uses them just to make you roll your eyes but he doesn’t necessarily use them sarcastically: he just makes his affectionate outbursts look like jokes. 
- He likes to praise himself for you but he also just loves when you say nice things about him in general; though he takes your insults as compliments too so anything you say to him is generally appreciated regardless of it’s contents. Love language isn’t really the right way to describe it; since he partakes in pretty much every single type, but for lack of a better word, praise is a big part of his love language and it being used totally unprompted is perfectly normal for him. 
“How did I get such an amazing girlfriend?”
- That being said: gift giving is also a pretty big part of his love language; even if he doesn’t always have the money to buy you an $800 dollar guitar. He proves that much to you when you first get together and he gets you a necklace with his initial on it; or something of the sort. He was a little shy about giving it to you since you were still getting used to each other but he was fully prepared to carve your name into his chest so he was kind of just hoping you loved him as much as he loved you. 
- But money isn’t everything, especially when you frequent thrift stores! I’m not entirely sure if Patrick would have gone to them on his own but he’d definitely develop a fondness for them after being introduced to them by you. 
- Your smile is his favorite sight to see and your laughter is like music to his ears: seeing you happy makes him happy; even when he wants to be annoyed with you. It’s part of the reason why he sort of just goes along with whatever you want to do and acts like a bit of a pushover. When he really likes a girl, his reputation and machismo goes out the window: he’s willing to look a little lame if it really means something to you; even if he puts up a bit of a fight in the beginning.  
- He’ll pull out some random grand and extravagant gesture just to make you forgive him after a fight or cheer you up after a rough day, and he’ll deem any consequence that arises from it as worth it. If you asked him for a rock, he'd give you the moon and you’ll be well aware of that from the start of your relationship. 
- Speaking of his unyielding devotion: it isn’t uncommon for him to act like your knight in shining armor whenever an unfortunate situation occurs. Got stuck babysitting? Guess he’s babysitting too. Car broke down? He’s driving four hours at midnight just to come and pick you up. Left your important assignment at home? He’ll cut class just to get it for you. 
- Him cutting class is an unfortunate habit of his and more often than not, you’ll also be involved in it in one way or another: whether he’s cutting just to come and sit with you in your class, in order to walk you to your next one, or forcing you to actually cut with him. 
- Patrick getting in trouble isn’t going to go away anytime soon but he does tone it down a bit for your sake. You can’t spend a whole lot of time with him when he’s in and out of detention and all it took for him to prioritize that over being a little shit was you canceling your plans, hanging out with someone else, or telling him sadly that you really wanted to see him. The thought of it became like 80% of his impulse control whether he wants to admit it or not. 
- He genuinely gets frustrated when you don’t get to spend a lot of time with each other. He can spend days with you at a time and not get tired of it so when you have to keep cancelling plans or have your dates hijacked by friends of yours, you’ll find that he gets huffy over the fact that he can’t be alone with you. He’s not afraid to admit that he only came somewhere because he wanted to be with you or that he’s upset over the fact that you forgot you were supposed to go out with him and you find it kind of adorable. 
- It’s probably part of the reason why he’s willing to drive cross country with you in order to go see some special event that’s taking place a couple states away; or whatever other day/road trips you’d be willing to go on. It’s like micro dosing on being married to you and having you all to himself and he secretly loves it to death. 
- Random fun little dates. Going to the amusement park, the circus, bowling, laser tag, paint ball, paddle boats, etc. He loves just letting loose and having fun and though they might be slightly juvenile, you guys can put the juvenile in juvenile delinquent. 
- Friendly competitions. 
- Play wrestling. He doesn’t just let you win so I hope you’re somewhat dedicated to beating him; even if it is a losing fight. You might think you’re getting the upper hand on occasion but he almost always perseveres and wins; mainly because he was only momentarily letting you think you were getting the best of him. That being said: your dedication is probably due in part to the fact that wrestling with you gives him a bit of a hard-
- Beach dates. The place reminds him of home; his childhood home at least. 
- Movie dates. He doesn’t even mind if you want raisinets! But he does somewhat force you to hold his hand the entire time, even if it’s a little impractical whenever you want to get some popcorn, so I guess that’s how you pay him back for it. 
- Going to his favorite bars and clubs with him. If it isn’t your style than he isn’t going to force you into doing something that’s arguably not in your best interests, but he may try to “broaden your horizons” and he’s certainly always over the moon and all smiles when you decide to surprise him with your presence. 
- Dancing along to music with each other.
- Going record/CD shopping. He has a surprising affinity for oldies and every now and again, he’ll play them on the radio or on vinyl and you’ll tease him about being an old soul while he gathers you into his arms. It probably started during the time he spent with his grandfather if we’re being realistic. 
- Doing random couples crafts. I don’t even know why, I think it’s the tank top and the tied up hair combo we saw on him: it just makes me think of you guys like tie dying shirts in your backyard or doing pottery together, etc. 
- He definitely gives you his shop(?) class projects and at a certain point, begins to tailor them towards your own personal tastes. He’ll sit down beside you and act like he’s semi-disgusted by his work while he inspects it with you, nonchalantly offering you it while ignoring how it perfectly matches your room décor and acting like he’d just throw it away if you didn’t want it. 
- He definitely offers you sexual favors in exchange for you doing his school assignments or things of the sort. He also probably “taxes you” when he does favors for you: almost always asking for kisses; even though he’ll joke about “settling for them”. 
- He definitely makes jokes about your sex life to random people while you sit at his side with your face in your hands; he gets amused by their flustered reactions. It’s usually things like wiggling his eyebrows and telling your friends that you “were with him all night” when they ask where you were or turning to you and asking if you “think he has the skills of a pornstar” when someone asks about the rumors that get spread around school about him. He makes a lot of sexual remarks and innuendos in general so it’s just sort of something you’ll have to get used to. 
- Teasing and playfully bickering with each other. 
- Stealing each others fries and shooting the paper off your straws at each other when you go to fast food joints. 
- He has a slight oral fixation: almost always being caught with something in his mouth. Toothpicks, cigarettes, pens, you, gum, etc. 
- He doesn't listen or adhere to any of that “astronomy bullshit” but he suddenly acts like he’s a true supporter and believer the minute it mentions true love or points to the two of you being soulmates or something of the sort. 
- He has a shrine to you in his room; that’s the only way I can describe it. Photos of you, all of the gifts you’ve given him; no matter how small, that he cherishes, etc: it’s all there and on full display. It’s truly adorable. 
- Patrick genuinely enjoys taking care of you: like not only does he consider it his job as your boyfriend but he genuinely loves the feeling of being needed. Catching you when you fall, urging you not to do something stupid, giving you little massages, fetching things for you, etc. He’s not easily deterred or grossed out and he’s also particularly hot when he’s playing babysitter/nurse so you don’t usually mind it. 
- It might take him a little while to open up but he does enjoy telling you about himself and all of his secrets. He also likes to hear everything about you as well: what you’re thinking, your favorite childhood stories, your family life, your day to day drama, etc. He’s surprisingly good at lending you an ear and giving you advice/comforting words. You often find yourself having long and deep conversations. 
- He’s honestly more invested in your life than you are. He’s very passionate about gossiping with you and finding out about all the drama in your friend groups and family. He acts like anyone who’s wronged you personally wronged him. 
- Speaking of: he’s the kind of boyfriend who you send to talk to your friends/little siblings when they’re having a rough time and need to hear advice from someone who doesn’t particularly sugar coat things/care about hurting them. He’s very good at consoling your loved ones without fucking them: like, you never have to worry about his comforting pats on the back turning into groping.
- He also just talks to your friends in order to be better and do nice things for you. He’s an honorary member of girls night because he’s so chill and able to blend in without acting like a creep or like your boyfriend™. 
- Speaking of friends: he has that one punk friend and I think if your parents or friends are really conservative, they’d be horrified to see that you’re both dating Patrick and subsequently friends with a kid that looks like every parents worst nightmare. He’s chill though: and he’s good at passing on messages or comforting you when you’re arguing with Patrick.
- Patrick finds it really hot when you get jealous over him. He likes the feeling of you being possessive over him and wanting everybody to know that you’re an item: probably because he wants to; and already has, announced over the loudspeaker that you’re his.
- Speaking of: Patrick is a pretty jealous person but not necessarily in the way that you’d probably expect. He doesn’t mind that people find you hot and trusts that you aren’t gonna cheat on him, but he still can’t help but dislike when people show obvious interest in you or encroach upon his time with you. Most of his jealousy arises from you showing favoritism to somebody else; even if it’s purely platonic. He knows that you’re just friends but playing second fiddle to somebody else just plain irks him. 
- Considering his reputation, it’s pretty rare for anybody to mess with you. You get to turn off your brain for a while whenever you go out with him and just focus on enjoying yourself. That being said: he can turn from wild bad boy to protective father in an instant if he feels a situation calls for it. 
- The two of you don’t argue a ton; at least not seriously. You’re more likely to bicker like an old married couple than you are to have a genuine fight. Although, when you do fight, he tends to remain as calm as he can or leave for a while so he can sort himself out; occasionally making a biting comment or trying to kiss you which only winds up making things considerably worse. 
- Patrick is a man who begs and grovels and bothers you into working things out with him whenever you’re mad at him. He hates the silent treatment and borders between miserably keeping his distance and doing everything in his power to get you to talk to him; even telling people you’re sitting with to scram because you keep insisting you’re busy with them instead of speaking with him. 
- If you’re the one in the wrong, he might also give you the silent treatment; or hold a bit of a grudge, but he’s typically pretty quick to forgive you; mainly because he misses you and wants to be together again. He definitely makes you laugh and promise between kisses that you’ve both forgiven each other and that something “like this” is never gonna happen again. 
- The two of you joke around a lot when it comes to saying “I love you” but he does genuinely enjoy saying it and hearing you say it back to him. He’s kind of obsessed with it actually, and he sometimes smiles at you and says it so sincerely for no good reason at all that it genuinely makes you feel like crying; in the nicest way possible.
- Good luck getting rid of him because he’s genuinely kind of obsessed with you. He’s never really had such an honest and real connection with someone before and he’s kind of convinced that he’ll never have another one again so he’ll fight to the death to keep you by his side. So yeah, expect a ring on that finger in the future and a near perfect Aussie husband.

Good evening/morning/afternoon
Could you possibly do a patrick Verona headcannon with an s/o who loves taking care of people, constantly baking things and buying gifts and they're like the parent of the group with basically a never ending supply of everything (plasters, scarves, blankets, medicine etc) in a huge bag
Thank you!!
Pairing: Patrick Verona x Reader
Genre: Fluff
Tumblr media
Patrick instantly felt a strange, yet comforting feeling towards you once he noticed that you genuinely care for others: you somehow reminded his late grandfather and how he used to be so caring with him as well
He couldn't stop imagine himself with you by his side and how you would take care of each other so dearly. After all, that's all he wanted: someone who truly cares for him and knows him well, without any kind of judgment. Our poor baby just wants to be loved, be understood and love back
You eventually discovered that Patrick is actually a great cooker, so you usually bake things together and have lots of fun, since he can't hold himself to make a joke here and there
He loved spoiling you with gifts himself, so you both often fight for other's attention to prove who loves the other more, until you realized that gifts meant nothing in comparison to your physical love and deep emotional bond
Patrick considers himself the “father“ of his friend group, not allowing them to get drunk or get hurt in parties, so it was funny when you told him everyone sees you as the "Mom Friend" of the group as well. You definitely hear your friends calling you the parents of the friend group, and how you both would be so protective of your own children
He also finds it funny the fact that you carry a kit of first supplies with you, saying that you care way too much for others and how is it possible for someone to be as kind as you
"I'm not religious princess, but you're definitely convincing me that angels actually exist." or "My girlfriend/boyfriend is a goddamn nurse?! I must have won the lottery! " he would say to you, making you blush at his funny compliments towards you
Patrick genuinely feels so lucky to have you as his romantic partner and is so proud of you... he wouldn't change you for no one or anything in this world

it was a warm autumn wednesday at padua high school. you had been working restlessly on a poem you had been assigned for mr morgan. many hours had been spent to perfect it.
you were getting your book of shakespeares sonnets out of your locker, when all of a sudden non other than your best friend cameron came up beside you.
“hey y/n/n!” cameron smiled as he stood by your locker.
“hey cam.” you smiled. you had liked him for a while now. well, a while being three and a half years, since your freshman year.
“i brought you this.” he smiled giving you a caffeinated beverage (your choice). you smiled softly taking the drink from his hands, taking a sip.
“thanks cam. i really needed a pick me up.” you told him.
“i can tell.” he teased. you shove him lightly, as he lets out a soft giggle.
“cmon the bells gonna ring soon.” you told the boy, as he nodded, following you as you made your way to mr morgan’s class.
once you two got situated in your seats, mr morgan started class. “okay for the assignment i told you guys to write love poems, like shakespeare did. would anybody like to share? it coulda been about your couch for all i care” nobody had raised their hand. “fine, i’ll pick.” you sort of zoned out not paying attention to mr morgan until you felt a light nudge coming from beside you.
“ow!” you harshly muttered, looking to see cameron trying to get your attention.
“mr morgan said your up to present your poem.” he told you. you looked up to see mr morgan with his eyebrow raised and his arm crossed.
“are you just gonna sit in wonderland, alice? or are you gonna get up here and read your poem?” he asked sarcastically.
you muttered a soft apology as you grabbed your f/c binder and walked up to the front of the classroom. truth be told you were very nervous because the poem you had wrote was about cameron. but you didn’t want him to know that secret piece of information.
you cleared your throat and looked around the room, your subtle but nervous eyes meeting cameron’s soft brown irises. he gave you a reassuring smile as you returned it with a soft tight lipped one.
“we’re waiting.” mr morgan said impatiently. you quickly opened to the page and began to read aloud.
his moon , my sun , together we are one.
he is the ocean breeze to me , and one may not ask why.
it’s the coffee in the morning and tea at night.
and the way he gives off a mysterious light.
the snow falls down , and you’re still around.
my thoughts are present too. i would much rather be visited by you.
two lovers on the road , with no destination.
is what i would like to be without hesitation
my only words to that sweet question is “yes.”
you finished and shut the f/c binder as cameron grinned giving you a look of “you better explain.”
“well done nicholas sparks.” he remarked, moving on. all you felt was the sporadic glances that cameron would give you during class. you shot him glance and threw him a note telling him to drop it. in return he just rolled his eyes playfully.
after the class was over , you were fast to rush out not wanting to be faced with cameron’s interrogation. that was until he caught up with you.
“you need a ride home, remember.” he reminded you. in your mind , you mentally facepalmed yourself. “don’t worry i’ll go easy on you.” he teased.
“just let it go cam, it’s just a silly crush.” you muttered to him. cameron had a look of shock. his hand to his heart as he walked to his car.
“y/n/n if it was just a silly crush than you wouldn’t write a full romance novel about them!” he told you dramatically. alas, you signed knowing the brunette was right. “is it joey “eat me” donner?” he asked her. “because if it is you know i’ll try to be supportive but-“ you cut him off.
“cameron it is NOT joey. that’s ridiculous.” you spoke matter of factly as he opened the door to his car.
cameron started the ignition and head over heels by tears for fears was playing softly on the radio.
“what about jimmy? michael? brian? patrick? you know if it was patrick, i would 100% understand he is a pretty boy.” he muttered.
“cameron no.” you told him after shaking her head after all the previous names. “just drop it.” she sighed. there was a moment of silence.
“is it kat?” he softly spoke as he looked at you.
“CAMERON!” you exclaimed. a small chuckle left your lips at his determination. cameron figured he would drop it for now and move on to a separate subject.
“anyway, you promised to help me with my french homework remember?”
“yeah, don’t worry i didn’t forget.” you smiled softly, knowing french was cameron’s worst subject, but he tried managing a solid C- in the language.
as you two arrived at the james residence, you trudged your way upstairs and flopped onto cameron’s bed after putting on a tears for fears cassette , playing softly in the background. cameron followed as he sat down beside you, kicking off his shoes.
“mkay, salut! je mapelle y/n , comment allez-vous?” you spoke. cameron listened as you spoke in the language.
“hello, my name is y/n. how are you?” he repeated in english. a bright smile was displayed on your face.
“oui! très bien!” you praised him. he smiled sheepishly. “i’m beginning to think you don’t even need my help.” you teased him.
you two continued to do french homework until cameron spoke up. “give me a harder one.” he challenged. all of a sudden you were feeling pretty gutsy.
“okay cam.” you said, “tu es très jolie et je veux être plus que des amis.” you continued, a regretful feeling in the pit of your stomach as his gaze averted to figure out what you said. you could tell when it clicked.
“aww y/n/n i think you’re pretty too, but we are more than friends, i’m youre bestfriend silly.” he smiled. you’re eyes widened slightly, how did he not take the hint?
“no cam, not like that.” you informed him. you could practically see the question mark over his head. he pondered for a couple of seconds.
“like what?” he muttered. that feeling of confusion melted away once your lips were on his in a state of impulse. he melted into the kiss, as his hands grabbed your face and your hands grabbed each one of his shoulders.
once you two broke apart he was awestruck. “mamma mia.” he mumbled. his eyes as big as dinner plates and his mouth agape.
“wrong language cammy.” you teased.
“but…but that poem? that was about..” he trailed.
“you.” you calmly stated. he looked up to you softly.
“wait…how long?” he asked.
“since freshman year.” you told him.
“and you waited that long to do that?!” he asked, doubfoundedly.
“well i didn’t know if you felt the same way, and you went through that whole thing with bianca and that whole spew to get her to like you back and-“ you continued to ramble until cameron cut you off with another kiss.
“it’s always been you y/n/n. bianca was just to get my mind off of you because i was too scared to think of us as anything more than friends…i didn’t want to ruin that.” he mumbled, looking down at his homework.
you smiled softly at his confession. “well is it that hard to imagine with a visual?” you asked him. he looked up with a confused look, and those puppy dog eyes you adored. you kissed him once.
“i think i can see a picture in my head now.” he said against your lips.
all that was heard was head over heels playing softly in the background.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤPenn U — Johnny Suh
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Notas: falar pra vocês que fazia tempo que eu não me divertia tanto escrevendo alguma coisa KKKKKK Não vou ser confiante o bastante pra dizer que “Penn U” se tornou uma série de contos do blog, mas eu tenho ideias pra pôr em prática quanto ao Mark e ao Jaemin, então talvez esse não seja um desfecho e sim o começo de algo maior.
w.c: 1.5k
WARNINGS: uma aparição especial do Sungchan que também faz parte do time de hóquei, alguns palavrõeszinhos, menção a “10 Coisas que Eu Odeio em Você”, continuação dessa headcanon aqui.
Boa leitura, docinhos! 🩷
Tumblr media Tumblr media
— Antes de mais nada, você pode explicar com detalhes o que aconteceu no refeitório? — No dia seguinte a conversa que o quinteto fantástico teve na casa em que dividiam, Jaemin conseguiu convencer seu colega de trabalho e jogador de hóquei – portanto um dos seus queridos minions – Sungchan, a abrir uma exceção e permitir por breves cinco minutos Johnny Suh pedir desculpas e se declarar publicamente, afinal aquela não era a primeira vez que algum universitário tentava proclamar seus votos para todas as caixas de som da universidade, geralmente Jaemin e Sungchan expunham as um milhão de declarações num momento específico da semana, num quadro da rádio que todos apelidaram carinhosamente de “Momento coração”, se assemelhava com um correio elegante com a diferença de que todos ficavam sabendo dos seus recados. Sungchan abriu mão da tradição porque estava morrendo de vontade de ver um dos Deuses do Olimpo do hóquei se humilhar, de graça.
— Como assim? Vocês não ficaram sabendo? — Sungchan questionou, tirando os fones headset dos seus ouvidos para ter certeza que escutou direito, porque não fazia sentido eles não saberem da notícia que rondou a universidade nos últimos três dias — Que o Johnny...
— Você levou um tapa no meio do refeitório? — Jaehyun adentrou o recinto ao mesmo tempo que Johnny gesticulava, sem o uso das mãos, numa tentativa falha e ineficaz de fazer Sungchan calar a boca e terminar a sentença sem ter ao menos começado, o que não adiantou em nada considerando que todo seu esforço foi por água abaixo nos segundos em que o Jeong abria e fechava a porta delicadamente.
— Jae, você morre hoje — Johnny apontou com o indicador para o amigo – ou inimigo, aminimigos – com uma expressão mortal cobrindo-lhe o rosto, Jaehyun apenas sorriu de forma relaxada, justificando-se de que ficou sabendo através de uma ficante, que por um acaso era melhor amiga da garota em questão e na ocasião sentia vontade de tornar Johnny estéril, só que pela falta do órgão masculino mesmo.
Jaemin arregalou os olhos, como se fosse difícil acreditar que o habitual senhor correto Suh poderia ser na verdade um grande heartbreaker, como ele costumava ser sem o intuito de receber o rótulo, a verdade é que Jaemin tratava sempre de ressaltar muito bem suas vontades, no entanto constantemente havia um erro na comunicação e seu lindo rosto era acertado por uma palma assertiva, que era frequentemente correspondida por um sorriso sacana e um agradecimento igualmente sacana.
— Como é que é? Um tapa? Não era você que dizia que eu precisava ser mais enfático nas minhas relações pra não receber esse tipo de presente? — Johnny gostaria de transformar seu boné num frisbee e jogá-lo em direção ao Na, só para testar se o brinquedo iria acertá-lo ou Jaemin iria correr atrás feito um jindo-coreano, no entanto sua fada madrinha, o gênio da lâmpada do Aladin ou Deus, não estavam num dia propício para fazerem essa transformação — 'Cê tá ligado que isso é puta hipocrisia, né?
— Pega leve, Nana. Sua bochecha já tá acostumada — Pela primeira vez no dia – e talvez no ano – Jaehyun resolveu se aliar a Johnny, sorrindo feito o verdadeiro bobo que ele era enquanto bebericava o café expresso nojento de Jaemin, e instantaneamente seu rosto assumiu uma careta que dizia claramente, com todas as letras: “morte, gosto de morte”, quer dizer, como assim Na Jaemin era capaz de tomar oito shots de expresso sem movimentar nenhuma linha do rosto? Mark e Ten às vezes entravam em debates fervorosos sobre quão humano Jaemin era, considerando seus gostos pitorescos, afinal de contas em algum lugar em Marte oito shots de expresso era considerado normal feito café coado na meia.
— John, você vai começar logo ou já amarelou? — Mark perguntou do outro cômodo através de um dos equipamentos do estúdio com Ten a tiracolo, um vidro separava os dois do restante dos garotos, Sungchan queria transformar a rádio universitária num programa transmitido nos canais da universidade afim de atrair pessoas externas, mas ainda não havia ganhado luz verde dos chefões da instituição.
Jaemin fez sinal positivo para Mark começar a disseminar a voz de Johnny para uma universidade veloz em que provavelmente pararia completamente assim que o Suh liberasse a primeira palavra de sua boca, que foi um estridente e meio desengonçado “Oi galera, aqui é o Johnny Suh”, o que provocou uma crise de riso em Mark, que por pouco não caiu da cadeira giratória ao mesmo passo que estapeava um Ten sujo de tinta da oficina de mais cedo.
Johnny engoliu em seco, de uma hora para outra parecia que ele havia perdido todo seu vocabulário garantido nas últimas duas décadas, uma experiência que ele jamais havia vivenciado já que falava mais que a soma de todos alí presentes.
— Eu sei que todo mundo já sabe, talvez seja porque todo mundo viu ou pode ser também pelo simples fato de fofoca se espalhar feito notícia ruim — John estava tão concentrado no que planejara para proferir naquele instante que não deu a mínima para o flash do celular de Sungchan que estourou na sua cara, sabe se lá Deus que legenda ele usara para esse story no Instagram — Mas, se você vive numa caverna e não é a biblioteca, porque se não você saberia também. Eu acidentalmente magoei a garota por quem eu tô fodidamente apaixonado.
Mesmo atento, Johnny não conseguiu evitar direcionar os olhos para Jaehyun e Jaemin que fingiam se beijarem apaixonadamente e teatralmente, o que gerou um breve risinho da sua parte que reverberou em todos os corredores da instituição.
— Eu sei que eu disse que não te queria na frente de todo mundo, mas a verdade é que, caralho... — Johnny expirou muito perto do microfone, o que deu a chance para as escritoras de fanfics de plantão a escrever histórias do Deus do hóquei, Johnny Suh e sua respiração pesada — Eu sei que é clichê dizer, mas eu te quero como nunca achei que fosse querer alguém.
— Quando eu falei aquelas bobagens eu achei que você não me quisesse, que eu 'tava sendo emocionado e requerendo mais do que você 'tava disposta a me entregar, mas não — Johnny mordeu o lábio, incerto sobre como continuar seu monólogo — Eu 'tava muito enganado, se levarmos em conta o estalo da palma da sua mão contra a minha bochecha.
Jaemin e Jaehyun haviam parado com as gracinhas, – embora Jaehyun continuasse no colo do Na tendo sua cintura contornada pelos braços do último – Sungchan mal mexia no celular, os cotovelos apoiados sobre a mesa, esperando com espectativa pelas palavras que deixavam os lábios hidratados de Johnny.
— Me desculpa. Sério, me desculpa, eu fiz tudo errado, eu não deveria ter dito nada daquilo — Outra mordida no lábio inferior seguida de um afago nos cabelos macios — Me perdoa, eu posso até reencenar aquela cena que você adora de “10 Coisas que Eu Odeio em Você”, aquela da música, eu posso...
— Eu prefiro que você cante só pra mim e não para as um milhão de pessoas matriculadas aqui — Um sorriso esplêndido surgiu no rosto de Johnny, iluminando sua expressão no momento em que você adentrou o ambiente, ofegante, de rabo de cavalo e uma pilha de livros em mãos que deveriam estar sendo devolvidos para as estantes da biblioteca, entretanto você se alarmou com a voz das caixas de som e todo seu planejamento para o dia pareceu desimportante de repente. Johnny afastou a cadeira em que estava sentado, fazendo menção de se levantar, no entanto você privou o movimento, colocando as mãos nos ombros do homem a sua frente e se sentando em suas coxas malhadas pela rotina atlética.
Os olhos de Johnny brilhavam quando emergiu a mão na nuca da garota, enquanto a outra a firmava no lugar e impedia que ela fosse embora, não que essa precisasse ser uma de suas preocupações, afinal você queria ficar alí pra sempre no colo do seu então namorado, sua versão do Patrick Verona.
Jaemin, Jaehyun e Sungchan saíram de fininho do estúdio, certificando-se de desligar o microfone de Johnny para o caso de eventos libidinosos acontecerem alí, depois de uma declaração calorosa e uma resposta ainda mais afetuosa. Mas a única coisa que vocês queriam era beijar um ao outro até as bocas ficarem vermelhas e inchadas a ponto de rirem das suas visões.
— Eu te perdôo, Johnny — Você disse, deixando um beijo estalado em cada uma das bochechas do Suh, silenciosamente pedindo perdão pelo tapa que desferiu em uma delas na hora da raiva — Eu provavelmente te perdoaria mesmo se você não gostasse de mim, não sou boa guardando rancor.
Johnny te beijou, segurando sua nuca com certa possessão enquanto a mão entrava em contato de raspão com a pele debaixo da camiseta na qual você estava vestindo, um beijo um pouco mais molhado do que o que vocês deram pela primeira vez uma semana atrás, mas gostoso, porque era com Johnny e ele se mostrava uma verdadeira perdição em todas as suas habilidades.
Com um meneio de cabeça e uma fungada no seu pescoço enquanto os braços te prendiam junto a ele, Johnny sibilou baixo, devagarinho:
— Você é realmente muito boa pra ser de verdade.

10 things I hate about Eddie Munson
Eddie Munson x Female reader
Author's note- hello my beautiful little gremlins. This took me literally forever and I really hope you like it. This literally follows the plot of 10 things I hate about you. I’ve seen a lot of people compare Eddie and Patrick and haven’t actually seen any 10 things I hate about you fics (im sure there’s more out there though) so I figured I’d give it a shot and add some stuff.
WARNINGS- 18+++ Minors DNI. Please pretty please I worked hard on this plsss don’t interact minors. Get out. We have foul language, we have smut, oral female receiving, protected p in v, we have angst, we have fluff. Probably more idk I’m tired.
Summary- Eddie Munson the school freak gets paid to take out the school beast. How will he ever make things right when he actually falls for her? 15.5k words
“UGGHHHHHHHH THIS SUCKS!”
Mike screamed as he paced around his basement while his friends sat and watched intently.
“Well man what are you gonna do about it?” Lucas said casually before taking a sip of his drink.
“What am I going to do about it? What do you mean what am I going to do about it? I can’t do anything about it, it’s the chief! He's a crazy dude.”
Mike sat on the floor next to the table sighing in defeat.
“Come on Mike, it's not that bad. You guys can still be friends?” Will said as he laid a hand on Mike's shoulder.
“I don’t want to be friends ``. I wanna be able to hangout with her outside of the group you know? Alone?”
His friends looked at one another. Pondering ways they could help their friend.
“I mean…he didn’t say she couldn’t date forever…right?” Dustin began to stand from the couch and started some pacing of his own.
“Eleven can’t date until her oldest sister does, you know this. And as much as we all love y/n. Nobody is going to date her man. If I think the chief is crazy I don’t even know how to begin describing her” Mike slumped his shoulders further in defeat.
“Unless….” Dustin paced back to where the boys were and stopped rather abruptly.
“Unless we can convince someone to go out with y/n?”
The room erupted in laughter from all the boys in the room. Lucas nearly dropped his drink as he doubled over in laughter.
“Come on man. We love y/n and so many guys would be falling at her feet but you know nobody’s gonna take that chance. Not when they think she’s gonna bite their head off.”
Lucas said as he wiped the tears that had fallen down his face from laughter.
“No guys Dustin might have a point. I mean you’re telling me not a single guy in this town would be willing to ask y/n on a date? There’s gotta be at least one”
The boys began discussing possible options of people who would possibly consider going out with you. But to no avail.
The next day the party heads to school and in the morning they scan across the campus looking for possible prospects. They have one boy in mind who is walking across the parking lot until the boys see you driving through in your impala. Rock music on full blast as you almost hit the boy with your car and continue speeding to your spot as you shout expletives at the boy for taking so long to cross. He’s quickly crossed off the list.
The boys stand there feeling hopeless as Lucas examines his basketball teammate flirting with your younger sister Kay. That’s when Lucas was struck by a brilliant idea.
“Guys…GUYS!” The party turns all of their attention to Lucas.
“You guys see Jason over there right. Talking to Y/n’s younger sister Kay?”
“Yeah, what about it?” Mike was obviously giving him attitude because he didn’t see how this would relate to his problem.
“Wellllll Jason can’t hook up with Kay because Y/n is the oldest and she’s not dating right?”
“Lucas I swear Jason is not going to go for Y/n” Will was clearly lost and so was most of the group.
“NO MAN I’m saying. Jason’s popular right? Got a lot of money right? It would be much easier to convince someone to go out with Y/n if we had someone willing to pay for it”
Mike finally understood where Lucas was going with this but he was still skeptical.
“And why on earth would Jason Carver put that much effort into going out with Kay? He can get almost any girl in Hawkins. Why would he shell out cash for her?”
Lucas directed the boy's attention back to Jason and the way he was leaning on your younger sister and touching her a lot. It was obvious to anyone around that Jason wanted her. Something that irked you beyond belief.
As the boys continued throughout their day finally reaching lunch and approaching their usual seats at the hellfire table. Upon approaching Dustin saw the hellfire club leader. Doing his normal theatrics of scaring any nearby students. Dustin stopped in his tracks and the boys all looked at him.
“BOOM” Dustin completely dropped his lunch tray and walked out of the cafeteria without another word and the boys chased after him.
“What the hell was that Dustin?” Will was very clearly angry at Dustin for making a scene.
“That’s it you guys the answer it’s been right in front of us”
“What the hell are you talking about Dustin?”
“Do I have to explain everything to you people?”
Dustin looked around the group to see all the boys clueless as to what he could possibly mean.
“EDDIE! I'M TALKING ABOUT EDDIE! He’d be the perfect guy to go out with y/n. I mean look at him. Who else would be crazy enough to go out with her”
The boys turned and looked through the window of the cafeteria and saw Eddie yelling in Garreth and Jeff’s face. They had to agree that Dustin had a point. If there was one person who stood a chance of handling dating you? It would be Eddie.

“And that class is why taming of the shrew is one of William Shakespeare's more famous pieces”
You raised your hand quickly but didn’t wait for a response before you began speaking.
Ms O’Donnel exhaled deeply. Already on the verge of kicking you out merely for your presence.
“I just think we could be focusing on more important pieces of literature other than sappy romance. I mean even Shakespeare has other stories that revolve around other things. Like hamlet we could read hamlet”
A snicker was heard from behind you and you turned to face Jason carver.
“Well of course a shrew wouldn’t want to read a story that hits oh so close to home right?”
He earned himself a couple chuckles and high fives from his friends and you rolled your eyes.
“At least I know how to read Carver. Or would you like to try reading that paragraph again? Think you can do it in under 10 minutes this time?”
The class ooo’s and awed at your bravery for standing up to Jason. Jason was about to bite back when the door to the classroom swung open and the metal head himself walked in.
“So what’d I miss?” Eddie said as he stood near the door not taking a seat.
“Oh just the class focusing on the oppression of women and the patriarchal pyramid of women only being valued as romantic property” you didn’t bother to turn and look at him.
“Sounds great” is all Eddie Munson said as he turned and walked back out of the door. Clearly he’d had enough of the lesson for today as Ms O’Donnell called after him to come back but to no avail.
“You know Ms O’Donnell I think y/n actually makes a really good point now that I think about it. I think y/n would be more accustomed to stories like The Scarlet Letter”
“That’s enough Mr Carver. You know one of these days one of these young ladies is going to slap you and I’m not going to do a single thing to stop it”
You have a chuckle at her words but your chuckle quickly ceased as she turned her attention back to you.
“And as for you Ms y/l/n. You can take yourself up to the office. I’ve had enough out of you today”
You scoffed and grabbed your bag and left the room. Making your way up to your usual chair waiting outside the counselors office.
“Ms Hopper, please come in. Take a seat” Ms Kelley said without bothering to look at you as she continued writing in her notebook. Once you finally take a seat, she shuts the notebook and turns her attention to you.
“So I heard you were being a disruption to Ms O’Donnell’s class again?”
“I wouldn’t call it disrupting. I was simply voicing my opinions on the subject matter at hand.”
“Well you voicing your opinions every chance you get is why most of the student body refers to you as…”
“Tempestuous?”
“Heinous bitch. Is what I was going for actually. But sure. Just try to take it down a notch okay? Now get back to class.”
The words didn’t shock you at all. Nothing you hadn’t heard before and surely you would hear it again. So you made your way out of the office.
At the end of the day as you walk to your truck with your friends Nancy and Robin by your side a red car pulls up beside you.
“Move it or lose it, Hopper. You’re fat Ass is blocking the road”
“Maybe if your eyes weren’t so focused on my ass, Carver, you would see there’s an entire parking lot for you to drive in. Now run along Cretin” you shoo him away with your hands and continue into your car. Taking notice of your younger sister Kay and her friend Heather getting into Jason’s car.
***
As you sit on the couch doing homework you hear Hopper make his way inside and set his hat on the table. He strides over to the couch and leans over examining the homework you're doing.
“Got another call from the counselor today. Make anyone cry?”
“Sadly no….but the day is still young” you turn around and give him a wide smile that he returns as he pats your shoulder. As he’s going through the mail he holds up a letter from Indiana State University?.
“Uhhhh y/n? What’s this? It says Indiana State University?”
You hop up immediately, abandoning the homework without a second thought. Ripping open the envelope and screaming loudly upon reading your acceptance.
“I GOT IN!!! I GOT INTO COLLEGE OH MY GOD!!!”
Eleven and Kay congratulate you but Hopper looks irritated.
“Well that’s great honey but I thought we talked about something closer to home like Hawkins community? Getting into that teaching career we talked about?”
“Uhhhh no that was always what you talked about. I wanted to study journalism with a minor in film”
“We discussed Hawkins community college and teaching as a safer, more stable career!”
“No, you discussed it. I never said I wanted any of that!”
Kay chirps in. “Just think about it dad. Once she goes to university anymore she’ll be their problem and not ours.” She says in an all too cheerful voice. You shoot her a quick death stare before you pull the card from your sleeve.
“So Kay was that Jason Carver I saw driving you home today?”
Hopper immediately turns his anger from you to Kay.
“Excuse me? Who is Jason Carver and why is he driving you home?”
Kay turns to you and looks extremely upset as she sputters the words to her father.
“Dad he’s this guy from school and I don’t know I think he might-“
“Don’t even finish that. I know exactly what you think. You already know the rules Kay. No dating”
“But dad he’s-“
“No. And if you argue with me again I’ll go arrest whoever this boy is just to teach you and him a lesson”
Kay sits down on the couch where you are now back doing your homework. Hopper sits on the coffee table in front of you. And El decided to join.
“Now listen. I’ve been a cop for many years now and I’ve seen a lot of stuff. You girls don’t need to be dating and especially not in highschool. You don’t want to end up as some cracked out bimbo on the streets or some teen mom. No dating until Y/n does. That’s the rule we agreed upon.”
Eleven chirps in. “We are not stupid”
“I know you girls aren’t stupid”
Eleven is standing up now visibly angry. “You are treating us like we are stupid. We know not to do drugs. We know not to have unprotected sex. We are not stupid. And it’s not fair. Everyone else at school gets to date but not us. You are like papa!”
As Hopper goes to answer Eleven the radio on his belt goes off about some emergency Hopper has to attend to.
“The three of you. This conversation isn’t over.”
As hopper leaves you’re left alone with your sisters. You can feel El practically burning a hole in the back of your skull.
“What El?”
“This is your fault!”
“What is my fault?”
“It is your fault that I cannot be with Mike!”
Kay decided to jump in “and why I can’t be with Jason!”
“Eleven you’re so young. You don’t need to be dating anyways. Boys at your age and even at mine are all garbage anyways. And Kay I’m oh so sorry you’ll have to miss out on dating Jason Cretin Carver.”
Both El and Kay stomp off to their rooms and slam the door leaving you completely alone again with nothing but homework and swirling thoughts.
***
Later on in the evening El and Kay are in Kay’s room discussing you when Eleven's radio goes off.
“Eleven? Do you copy? It’s Mike. Over.”
“Yes Mike I copy.”
“Great, I just wanted to see if you wanted to go to Star Court later. It would just be the two of us but maybe if you told the chief of was just as fri-“
“No way Mike. He already went off once today about the No dating until y/n does rule”
“What if I said the party was working on a plan for that?”
El looks over at Kay who’s been listening to the entire conversation and they give each other smug looks. Mike goes over the plan with the two of them and they agree to do whatever it takes to help.
****
The next day it was finally time to begin putting the plan into action. Lucas decided to be the one to go ask Jason Carver to be a part of the plan. So when lunchtime rolled around instead of walking to the Hellfire table like normal. Lucas made his way over to the basketball table and sat down at the head of the table next to none other than Jason Carver himself.
“I-I’m sorry. Kid are you lost?”
“No actually. Just came by to run an idea by you. Just to see if you’re interested.”
“I’m not”
“Hear me out”
At this point Jason decided to half listen as he continued to eat his lunch.
“You want Kay right? But you can’t date her because Y/n doesn’t date and none of the Hopper girls can date until she does right?”
“Does this conversation have a purpose for me at all?”
“Well Jason. I think you should hire a guy that’s crazy enough to go out with her.”
“Oh really. And who would be crazy enough to go out with her.”
Lucas points over to Eddie at the hellfire club who’s currently walking around the table shouting about something D&D related.
“Really? Him? The freak. Isn’t he a satanist?“
“I don’t really know man… but even if he is, that makes him a solid investment. If he’s crazy enough to worship Satan then he’s crazy enough to date y/n right?”
“What’s in this for you kid?“
“Well I was thinking…maybe I could get a spot on the team. After tryouts next week.”
“Alright. You got yourself a deal.”
Lucas stays at the table for a moment longer while everyone at the table looks confused until Jason finally speaks up. “We’re done here kid.”
Lucas stands from the table and walks to where the rest of the party was watching him and gives them a thumbs up.
***
Ms O’Donnells class had everyone bored out of their minds once again. But this time it was presentation day where you each had to read a story you wrote. As you were up at the front of the class reading yours, Jason decided to put his part of the plan into action.
“Psssst…PSSSST….hey…freak”
Eddie finally takes his head off of his desk where he was attempting to nap, and turns to face Jason.
“What Carver?”
“You see Y/n up there?”
“No actually I don’t. Wherever do you mean?”
Jason rolls his eyes. “I want you to ask her out.”
“Uh sure casanova whatever gets you off man?” Eddie starts to turn his head back to his desk when Jason moves forward and grabs his shoulder.
“Look freak. I can’t take out her sister until y/n starts dating. You see their dad has this crazy rule an-“
“Look, that's a touching story. It really is. But not my problem man.”
“Would you be willing to make it your problem for say….oh I dunno. 30 bucks a date?”
Eddie sits there weighing his options. I mean taking some girl out and getting paid to do it. Why would he pass that up? It’s not like he had to marry the girl or anything. But not for $30.
“Well let’s see Carver. Let’s say we go to a movie. That’s $15 right there. Now let’s say we get some snacks. That’s what $53? And if the girl wants a drink that’ll be what $75. So yeah $75 or no deal”
“This isn’t a negotiation freak. Take it or leave it, trailer park boy”
“50 bucks and we got a deal Casanova”
Jason sighs and takes 50 dollars out of his pocket and slides it onto Eddie’s desk. Eddie turns to face you up front with a smile.
***
After class as you’re walking out your arm is caught lightly and you turn to face Eddie Munson. The bright smile he’s dawning is unlike any emotion you’ve seen him emit before so it confuses you as he begins to speak.
“Hey there girly. How ya doin?”
“Uh fine I guess. Tired? And yourself?”
“Tired huh? After that great story you read to the class. I mean a story like that, how could I not be impressed.”
You turn to walk away down the hall and he follows after.
“Ah, my mission in life. To impress men. Well obviously it worked on you so the world makes sense again”
“So I’ll pick you up on Friday night huh?”
“Oh yeah totallllly. Gonna take me for some gas station sushi and then make me play D&D? Do you even know my name Munson?”
“I know a lot more than you think.”
“Doubtful. Very doubtful.” And that’s all you say as you leave Eddie Munson standing in the middle of the school hallway.
Mike turns to Dustin who just watched the entire encounter and Mike looks distraught.
“Dustin! We’re so screwed!”
“Hey now I don’t wanna hear that negativity. Let’s get some upbeat emotion in here!”
“WERE SCREWED!” Mike says in an overly cheery tone.
***
Sitting in front of your desk in your room as you read a book you feel a pair of hands brush through your hair and you turn to find Eleven brushing her hands through your hair.
“Have you ever considered a different hairstyle? I mean you have some real potential here to look like a model from those magazines”
“And now why would I want to do that?”
“I don’t know so that maybe you don’t end up as an old woman who’s cold and alone?”
“I’m not cold Eleven. I’m annoyed.”
“Well instead of being annoyed you could try being nice for once.”
“And why would I do that”
“So that people won’t think you’re a mean person?”
“I don’t care what people think Eleven. And neither should you. You don’t have to try so hard all the time for people to like you.”
“I happen to like having friends y/n”
As Eleven says it she throws her hands in the air and her wrist comes into view for you.
“Where’d you get that bracelet?”
“Hopper gave it to me.”
“That was Sarah’s bracelet…why would he just give it to you?”
“Because I’m his daughter too y/n. Even if it’s not biological.”
“Oh so what, you're just gonna wear it now. It’s not like you ever even knew her or my mom. You have no right to wear it.”
You storm out of your own room. Leaving Eleven to stand there awestruck at your sudden outburst.
***
Ah Saturdays. Supposed to be for relaxation and forgetting school exists. So that’s exactly what you were doing at the music store as you purchased some new cassettes. A little AC/DC, a little Metallica, some WASP. The usual. As you said thank you to the clerk and made your way outside you couldn’t help but be annoyed to see a certain metal head leaned up against the door of your truck.
“Nice truck. Vintage fender?”
“So what are you stalking me now?”
“Jeez a guy can’t go by his favorite music shop and happen to spot a friend?”
As you reached for the handle of the driver side door he slid in front of it to stop you.
“Not a big talker huh?”
“Sorry talking about the ass end of my truck doesn’t usually get me going.”
He looks you in the eyes briefly studying your expression. “You’re not afraid of me are you?”
“Afraid? Why would I be afraid of you?”
“Well most people are.”
“Well I’m not.”
“Well maybe you’re not afraid of me but I’m sure you’ve thought about me in other ways.” He says with a smug look and a raised brow.
“Oh am I that transparent? Oh yeah I totallly want you oh so badly?”
You grab the handle of the door and force it open, removing Eddie from your car door, as he throws his hands up in surrender and moves away. However as you intend to back up and leave the store a car pulls in and parks directly behind you in the street. It’s a familiar red car owned by none other than Jason Carver himself. You roll down your window and stick your head out to yell at him.
“HEY ASSHOLE DO YOU MIND.”
“Not at all, sweetheart not at all.”
Jason pays you no mind as he continues walking. You’re not going to let this asshole win however. Rolling your window back up and putting the car in reverse you quickly backup directly into Jason Carvers car. Eddie automatically begins laughing hysterically on the side of the road and Jason Carver comes running back to his car.
“YOU BITCH! LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID TO MY BABY!”
“Whoops. Now get out of my way.”
***
“WHOOPS?!??? THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT HITTING THAT BOYS CAR?”
“Yes dad. Trust me if you knew him you’d have done the same.”
“No I wouldn’t have. Cause unlike you I didn’t have a dad who was a police chief who could get you out of messes like that. You’re lucky that boy didn’t press charges for one and two you’re lucky that he’s had some run ins in the past that I had to clear in order for him not to press charges.”
“Okay sorry. What do you want me to say here?”
“Is this because I don’t want you going to that college? Is that it? Did you do this as some kind of punishment?”
“Really? That’s where you wanna go. Okay aren’t you punishing me by making me stay here forever because Sarah died and mom left so now nobody can control their own lives?”
“Leave them out of this.”
“Fine then stop planning my life for me.”
“I’m your father and that’s my right.”
“Okay so what I want doesn’t matter?”
“You’re 18 y/n! You have no idea what you really want and you won’t for a long time!”
“Please dad why? Why is it so hard for you to trust me? I want to go to Indiana State! I want you to trust me to make my own choices. I want you to stop trying to control my life just because you couldn’t control yours!”
“You know wha-“ Hopper was cut off yet again by his radio. It was Powell from the station calling in about another emergency that needed the chief's undivided attention.
“This talk isn’t over y/n”
“Yay can’t wait to go through this all again”
You say leaving him before he gets the chance to make another snarky remark towards you. As you walk away you run into your sister Kay who is fuming.
“DID YOU JUST MAIM JASON'S CAR?!??”
“Uh yeah looks like you’ll just have to bike with Eleven”
“Has the fact that you’re completely deranged managed to escape you?”
You don’t bother to address her as you continue to your room. Slamming the door shut in the process.
****
Eddie Munson was not surprised to be met with a more than unhappy Jason Carver first thing Monday morning. As much as it didn’t surprise him, the prospect of having to talk to him exhausted him.
“When I pay someone $50 for a job I expect results.”
“Yeah Carver. I’m working on it.”
“Watching that bitch maim my car doesn’t qualify as a date, freak.”
“Well you know what Carver I was thinking. I don’t think $50 is quite enough to make this girl worth it. I think I’ll be upping my price.”
“Excuse me, freak?”
“100 bucks a date. In advance.”
“Absolutely not. No.”
“Fine, forget about Kay then.” Eddie couldn’t help the shit eating grin on his face as he knew he’d backed Jason into a corner.
“You better hope you’re as smooth as you think you are Munson” Jason said, slapping the 100 dollars into Eddie’s hand and walking away.
***
Mike and Dustin spent time discussing how on earth they were going to help Eddie and y/n get together. They came to no other conclusion than deciding they had to come clean and tell him the entire plan. So the next after school when the Hellfire meeting ended and the rest of the boys cleared out. Mike and Dustin decided to stay behind in an attempt to talk to Eddie.
Eddie notices the boy's presence in the room but says nothing as he continues to clean.
Only hearing the quiet bickering of the boys decided which one of them will be the one to tell him. He’s finally had enough of it once he’s finished cleaning and they’re still bickering.
“So do either of you wanna tell me why you’re still here and I still managed to clean up everything by myself?”
Dustin pushes Mike towards Eddie, to where Eddie is towering above Mike in an intimidating stance.
“W-well Eddie. Dustin and I know what you’re trying to do with Y/n. We know about the plan with Jason.”
“Oh, do you now? And what are you two going to do about it?”
“W-well that’s the thing. We wanted to help you out.”
“Really and why is that?”
Dustin steps forward placing a hand on Mike’s shoulder. “Well Eddie you see Mike wants to date Eleven so we had Lucas convince Jason to pay you to ask y/n out. But we see you’ve had some trouble with y/n and we think we can help you out by getting in-tell on what y/n likes and doesn’t like.”
Eddie stands there surprised and impressed that these two freshmen have been able to pull this off. “What is with these sisters? Jesus? Is kissing them like crack or something? Why does everyone want them?”
“Wha-Eddie no that’s not the point. Are you gonna let us help you or not?”
“Fine. Henderson, Wheeler. You’re my minions. Get in-tell on the beast and report back to me. Got it? Or the next campaign will be very painful for the two of you.”
“Eddie, that's great. We’ve already got one way for you to get to know her. See here” Dustin hands Eddie a flyer. “This is for Steve Harrington's party this Friday night. You’re gonna bring her to this.”
“You’re quite the optimist Henderson. She won’t even so much as spit in my direction let alone go to a party with me.”
“Don’t worry we’re working on it. You sit tight and we’ll come find you when we have more in-tell and a plan for you to get her to the party.”
And with that Dustin and Mike left Eddie alone in the hellfire room. Eddie looked at the flyer and signed. This whole arrangement was becoming complicated and the task at hand was challenging. Was any amount of money worth this?
***
Back at your house Mike and Dustin are inside with Eleven and Kay.
“So uh, Kay did you hear about Steve Harrington's party on Friday?”
“Of course I heard about it Dustin. How did you hear about it? You won’t even be allowed in the door?”
“Oh I’m friends with Steve. Don’t worry about it. Are you gonna go?”
“I really really want to but again I’m not allowed to go unless y/n does. It’s total bullshit. Anyways here’s y/n’s room. If I let you three in here you have to swear on your life she’ll never find out or I’m so dead.”
The three children sweat on Dustin’s mother before Kay lets them into your room. Looking around they see plenty of rock and roll band posters, plenty of books strewn about and plenty of bookshelves, lots of horror movie posters and horror novels and some posters for poetry slams. Mike and Dustin also make sure to ask Eleven basic questions about your likes and dislikes. Finding out that you hate jocks and douchey guys and that you love spicy Mexican food. They gather as much information as they can and make sure to leave before you get home, hoping they left everything just as they found it. Upon your arrival home you don’t suspect a thing.
***
Mike and Dustin bike all the way across town to The Hideout where they know Eddie is most likely to be. Making their way in the bar they’re surprised at the lack of security as they just waltz right in. Taking in the stench of cigarettes, booze and what’s most likely marijuana. Looking around the bar they see the instruments still set up from the Corroded Coffin set they must have done that night. As they continue to scan the bar they find Eddie and his band mates at a pool table taking turns and drinking. Dustin marches up to Eddie and taps him on the shoulder causing Eddie to turn around angrily until he realizes it’s just Dustin and not some drunkard complaining about his music.
“Ah my minions. Pray tell what information dost thou bring me?”
“Well we discovered she likes rock and roll so here’s a list of bands she likes, she loves really spicy Mexican food, the girl is obsessed with reading, horror movies and horror novels, she hates jocks and douchey guys, and loves poetry readings”
“Okayyyy so I’m what? Supposed to take her to get some enchiladas, buy her a book and then slam poetry with her?”
Dustin scoffs and ignores the sarcasm in Eddie’s voice.
“Eddie, have you ever been to Oliver’s cafe?”
“No. Why?”
“They’re having a poetry slam there tomorrow.”
“No-no absolutely not. Eddie “the freak” Munson cannot walk into some poetry club. Absolutely not.”
***
As Eddie walked into the cafe he felt embarrassed. He didn’t let that stop him however as he held his he’d high and strode through the cafe ignoring the onlookers who stared at him. The poet was up on stage reading their poems and Eddie scanned the crowd of people at their tables and finally found you.
Sitting at a small table with Robin and Nancy he watched as you would sip your coffee and occasionally smile at the poems being read aloud. You and Nancy both look interested in the poet but Robin looks bored out of her mind and is bouncing her leg most likely due to the caffeine intake.
Eddie decided instead of taking a strong approach like normal that he would let you come to him. So he takes a seat by himself at the bar and orders an espresso.
Walking up to the counter for a refill on your coffee you can’t help but notice the metal head at the bar who sticks out like a sore thumb. He doesn’t seem to notice you but you know he has to be there for you. Grabbing your coffee and walking over to his seat you begin to whisper so as not to interrupt the poet or disturb other guests.
“If you’re here to ask me out again you might as well just take that and shov-“
“Do you mind? I can’t hear Lillian’s poem and you’re kind of ruining it for me. I can’t wait for Jenna Scruff to get up there next.”
Eddie takes his espresso and sits at an empty table nearby. Leaning back in his chair to listen to the poet. You take the bait and sit next to him for a moment continuing your conversation in a hushed tone.
“You? You know Jenna Scruff's work?”
“Yeah why? Don’t you?”
As Lillian finished her poetry set instead of snapping everyone clapped for once. Eddie took the opportunity to tell you something.
“I was watching you before when you were listening to the poems. I’ve never seen you smile so genuinely before you were beautiful”
Upon his last three words the clapping had ceased and the entire cafe was able to hear what he had said. Earning a crowd's worth of ooo’s and awes causing your whole face to turn beat red.
Eddie doesn’t let up as the next poet gets on stage and starts their set. He continues to talk to you in a hushed tone. “Come to Harringtons party with me?”
You sigh and take a sip of your coffee. “You never give up do you” you begin to stand from the table coffee in hand as you make your way back to your friends.
“Was that a yes?” Eddie tried to shout yet still whisper.
“No.”
“Well then was that a no?”
As you sat down at the table with your friends you looked back at Eddie and whisper shouted back. “No.” Sipping your drink with a smug smile.
“I’ll see you at 9:30 then” as Eddie said 9:30 he made sure to hold up nine fingers, then three, then a zero.
Eddie didn’t leave after asking you that. Instead he stayed at the poetry slam and just watched you. Watched the way you reacted to things. Watched when you smiled. Took note of things you liked. Things you did. He wasn’t sure why. He had no reason to still be there. He’d tell himself for the time being it was just extra research for the mission at hand.
***
It’s Friday night and you’re sitting on the couch In your usual attire as Kay walks out of her room in a red dress and heels walking towards the door trying to avoid Hopper's attention. And failing.
Hopper rises from the couch and catches Kay at the door. “So kid, where ya headed?”
“Uhhh well if you wanna know. I’m headed to a study group.”
“You mean a party?”
Hopper turns to you. “Y/n do you know anything about a party” you shake your head No and turn your attention back to your book.
“Kay you know the rules. If y/n doesn’t go then you don’t go. End of story.”
Kay turns to you. Red face full of fury and marches up to you snatching the book out of your hand. “CAN’T YOU BE NORMAL? JUST FOR ONCE?”
You try to reach for the book but to no avail. “Define normal for me real quick?”
“Uh, going to Steve Harrington's party normal? I thought Steve was a friend of yours so why not just go for me please?”
“No Kay, those parties are just excuses for people to get drunk and rub up against each other to distract from the emptiness of their meaningless consumer driven lives.”
Kay pills out the puppy dog eyes. “Please for one night can you not be a complete nuisance and just do me this one favor. Pleaseeeeeee”
Looking into her sad eyes was just too much. You found yourself caving cause you couldn’t stand to see those eyes.
“Fine. One appearance.”
Kay jumped up and down squealing and Hopper looked utterly defeated. You didn’t bother to change your clothes but grabbed a jacket for the night. As you opened the door your sister was already running to Jason Carver's car but as much as you wanted to protest, you had a much more urgent matter. The matter of the metal head standing on your front porch.
“What are you doing here?”
“9:30 right? Sorry I know I’m a little early.”
Eddie Munson had never been early for a date in his life. But figured tonight he could make an exception.
“Fine. Whatever. But we’re taking my car.”
Eddie let you lead the way to your car and couldn’t hide the smile that grew on his face upon earning his small victory with you.
***
Upon arrival at the party Eddie continues to let you lead the way. You pass all the booze and drugs and fun stuff and immediately just start wandering through the house. Much to Eddie’s disappointment. However he isn’t going to let anything happen to you at this party so he attempts to keep up.
Getting interrupted as he follows you. Some cheerleader he recognizes as Jason Carver's ex tries to grab onto him. “KISS ME” she yells in his face as she attempts to jump on him. Eddies quick however and grabs her spinning her around as he shoves her towards some other poor nerd. “Kiss him instead” and she does immediately. He continues on his way to try and keep up with you having to jog a bit having lost you.
You find yourself standing in what appears to be a smoke filled living room full of people drinking and making out. You’re suddenly met with the one and only Jason Carver.
“Well well well look what the cat dragged in”
Jason chides as he circles you. Almost as if you were some kind of prey.
“According to that receding hairline of yours Carver I wouldn’t joke about others getting dragged.” You turn on heel to attempt leaving the living room but Jason quickly blocks you.
“So y/n. You see your sister around? She got away from me for a second.”
“I think it'd be best if you stayed away from my sister Jason.”
“Oh sure y/n. Of course. But let’s see if she stays away from me.” He gets very close to your face and winks before leaving you standing by yourself in the doorway of the living room.
***
As you walk through the house attempting to find your sister Kay you’re met by the devastating sight of her already leaned up against him by a wall. Making your way to her you’re met by Jason’s annoying voice.
“Well well well y/n would you look who found me again.”
Choosing to ignore Jason you grab your sister's arm and attempt to speak to her but she quickly stops you. “Y/n! Please don’t talk to me in public.”
“Kay please I just wanna tell you something.”
“Can’t it wait till later? I’m trying to enjoy my life for once so can you leave me alone and try to do the same?”
Kay rips her arm from your grasp and continues walking through the house wrapped in Jason’s arm.
As you stand there dumbfounded Eddie is finally able to reach you. But not before you can take a shot of the first drink you see. Intending to get very wasted for the night.
“Jesus y/n where the hell did you go I’ve been looking everywhere” Eddie was clearly exasperated from the recent efforts.
“I’m getting trashed, man. Isn’t that what you do at parties?”
“I mean I say do what you want.”
“Funny. You’re the only one. I’ll catch you later.” You turn on your heel and disappear into the crowd behind you.
Normally this would be the point in the night where Eddie gives up and goes home but Eddie isn’t going to just leave you here at some party with no way to get home because you’re getting drunk. As Eddie continued through the house it took him quite a while to find you in a place this big in a sea of this many people. Henderson was right, Harrington really knew how to throw a party.
When Eddie finally found you he attempted to take the shot in your hand away because he could very clearly tell that you’d had too many. You refused however and continued through the house finding a very sturdy table that your drunk little brain thought would be perfect to stand on. You know what this table might be perfect to dance on too?
Eddie could see where this was going and was intent on stopping you until he was blocked by none other than Jason Carver.
“How did you do it man?”
Eddie was confused and already over this conversation. “Do what?”
“Get her to act like a human being.”
Eddie didn’t get the chance to answer as the crowd of people in the room behind him started to cheer and he found you in nothing but a light tank job and jeans now dancing on top of the table as a group of teens cheered you on.
Your body was all sorts of languid and you were just feeling loosey goosey so you were bending and snapping and just in general dirty dancing all over the place. Your drunk little brain couldn’t explain why but a large portion of the dance moves were directed to the metal head standing at the edge of the table watching you. Standing up fully after one particular bend has you smacking your head hard on the chandelier above you. Almost knocking you out.
As you fall backwards you're caught by a pair of arms and you find yourself face to face in Eddie Munsons arms who looks distressed. He gets you away from the table and sets you on the floor. “Hey y/n look at me. You okay?”
You attempt to stand up on your own. “I’m fine” your words are slurred as you collapse into his arms again and he attempts to walk you outside.
“Eddie I just- I just need to lie down for a minute”
“No if you lie down you’ll go to sleep”
“Sleep hahaha. But sleepy is good?”
“Not if you have a concussion.”
He sits you down outside letting you get some fresh air as he continues to check to make sure you’re okay. Unable to keep yourself up right Eddie wraps an arm around you and carries you fully outside the party and into Harrington's front yard.
As Eddie guides you to the porch swing you can’t help but wonder why he’s even here. “Why are you helping me?” You manage to mutter out.
“Like i said you might have a concussion y/n.”
“You don’t care if I ever wake up Munson”
“Sure I do.”
“Why?”
“Cause then I’d have to start taking out girls who actually like me.”
“Like you could ever find one.”
“Oh see that. Who needs affection when you give such blinding hatred”
You start to pass out in his arms again and he sets you on one of the tire swings that’s hanging from a tree in Harrington's yard. You’re able to sit by yourself for a moment before almost falling out of the swing and Eddie catches you once again. Finding he now also needs a break he sits in the tire swing next to yours.
Eddie turns to look at you. “Why do you let him get to you?”
“Who?”
“Jason.”
“Ugh. God I hate him.”
“Well drowning yourself in Vodka and Rum seems like the perfect revenge option I see.”
You laugh at his words and Eddie can’t help but smile back. Seeing as this is the first time he’s made you smile he thinks he’ll remember this moment as a win. That is until he looks back at you to see your arms dropped to your sides and your eyes closed as if you’ve fainted.
Eddie jumps up quickly, taking your hand in his and using his free hand to stroke your face.
“Y/n?!? Y/n?!? Come on, wake up. Come on, open your eyes!”
And you do it slowly. Your eyes connect with his big brown eyes. You can’t help but admire the way they shine in the moonlight.
“Hey. Your eyes. They have a little gold in them”
You smile at him as he says it and Eddie can’t help but admire your entire face. Your smile seems to light up every feature you have and he almost begins to memorize it before you lower your head again and rub your temples. Without meaning to, he strokes the back of your head just thankful you woke up and that you’re okay.
***
As Eddie drives you home he actually finds himself quite content. You seem much better now and your music taste isn’t bad.
“UGHHHH i should be like these people!”
Eddie turns his attention from the road to you. “Be like what people?”
You point your hand at the radio repeatedly. “These. These peoples I should be like these people. Speaking their mind and doing what they want. I bet my father would love that.”
As he pulls up to your house and turns the car off he turns to you and begins to speak in a serious tone. “You don’t seem like the kind of girl who cares what her dad thinks.”
You scoff. “Oh so now you think you know me?”
“I’m getting there.”
“The only thing people know about me is that I’m some monster of a woman.”
“Yeah well…I’m no town heartthrob either.”
As you turn to look at him you begin to realize the two of you aren’t so different. That gold glimmer in his deep brown eyes seems to say something to you. Almost pulling you into them. And as Eddie stared back at you he began to realize that maybe you weren’t the monster everyone painted you out to be. Maybe he’d judged you the way everyone judges him.
The look lingers just a little too long until Eddie points to your house trying to clear the tension. “So uh your dad. I assume having the chief of police as a father must be a pain in the ass.”
“Pfft. That’s one way to put it. Although I wouldn’t so much say pain in the ass as much as I’d say he just wants to make my life into something I don’t want. Make me into somebody that I’m not.”
“And who does he want to make you into?”
“Kay” you say with a frilly attitude that would match your sisters.
“Ah. I see. Kay. No offense or anything I’m sure Kay is great and I know everyone digs her but she’s without.”
You turn to look at him again. Smiling as you do. “You know. You aren’t what I thought you’d be.”
“What? Mean and scary?. Can I be honest with you here? I thought you’d be kind of mean and scary too. I mean you are kind of mean but definitely not scary.”
You can’t help but laugh at what he says and upon laughing you realize nobodies made you laugh like that for a really long time. As your laugh dies down and you gaze into his eyes again you begin to lean in for a kiss.
Eddie can see you leaning in. He almost leans in too but he can’t bring himself to do it. Nothing about the situation feels right. You’re drunk and he got paid to take you out. He wants to kiss you. But not like this.
Eddie clears his throat. “Maybe we should do this at a different time.”
You pull away and reach for the door handle. Immediately leaving the car and running inside feeling insulted and embarrassed. This guy spends all this time trying to get you to go out with him only to reject you when you try to kiss him. What the hell?
As you wait inside you watch as Eddie pulls out of your driveway in his van and watch as he fades into the distance. Surprised as you see your younger sister Kay getting dropped off by Steve Harrington rather than her own date. She takes a while to come inside and you’re about to ask her what that was about but upon seeing the smile she’s dawning when she walks in you decide to drop it. Just for tonight.
***
Walking into Ms O’Donnell’s class Monday morning was going to be a pain in the ass. You could already tell. But when you walked in and we’re greeted by Jason asking you how much he owes you for the table dance you gave at the party, it confirmed this hour was going to be a rough one. Jason’s cruel remarks were met by Ms O’Donnell’s personal brand of snark.
Ms O’Donnell began speaking about the classes next assignment and how you would be recreating your own version of sonnet 141. You raise your hand to ask a question.
“Yes, what could you possibly have a problem with now Ms Hopper?”
“Do you want this in Iambic pentameter?”
Ms O’Donnell turns to face you with a dumbfounded expression.
“So you have no qualms about the assignment?”
“Uh no? I think it’s a good assignment. I’m excited about it!”
Ms O’Donnell chuckles at you. “Go to the office.”
“Wait what?”
“Out. Get out. I don’t know what game you’re playing but go to the office.”
So you gather your belongings and leave the classroom.
***
As Mike and Dustin sit with Eddie at lunch the boys begin to interrogate him about what happened with you the night of the party.
“Seriously Eddie what did you do to her?”
Eddie takes a cashew and throws it at Mike. “I didn’t do anything Wheeler. In fact I was a gentleman who didn’t do anything because she was drunk and that would be wrong.”
“Ughhhh Eddie, our plan was working!”
Dustin comes running back to Eddie and Mike after attempting to talk to you.
“So Dustin what’d she say?”
“Well she said she hates him with the fire of a thousand suns. Those were her exact words.”
Eddie puts his face in his hands and rubs his face. “Thank you for the helpful encouragement Dustin.”
Mike puts his hands in the air “hey maybe all she needs is a few days to cool off” as he says this the three boys just narrowly dodge the sandwich you’d “accidentally” thrown in their direction when you tripped walking past their table.
Eddie turns back to the boys. “I think she might need more than a few days.”

“God Nance, can you imagine going to prom? How ridiculous would that be.”
“I don’t know y/n it could be fun. I’d love to go if only Jonathan would ask me.”
“Ugh you really wanna get all dolled up and listen to a band that totally blows while all these losers girate and look for excuses to hump each other? You agree with me, right Robin?”
As you turn to Robin you can already see her disagreeing with you. “I’d love to go to prom. But we all know why I can’t ask anybody so no prom for me.”
Nancy throws her hands up in surrender.
”Alright alright we’re not going then. It’s not like I’ve got a dress anyways.”
“Nancy, you're looking at it all wrong. By not going we’ll be making a statement.”
“Oh yippee cause you don’t do that everyday.”
***
As Kay stands in the gym trying to make the ball go into the basket a pair of arms wraps around her to make the shot. Turning around afterwards she finds herself face to face with Jason.
“So Kay. About prom?”
“Jason you know I can’t go to prom unless y/n does.”
“She is going to prom.”
“What? Since when?”
Jason picks up another ball and twirls it on the top of a finger. “Oh let’s just say I’m taking care of it.” He places the ball into Kay’s hand and takes his leave.
***
Sitting on his usual bench in the forest Jason hands Eddie about $200. “Here freak. This should cover the tickets and the tux. Everything.”
Eddie holds the money in his hands for a moment contemplating. He thinks about you and how wrong this is to do to you. “Nah man. I think I’m out. I don’t wanna play this game anymore.” He hands the money back to Jason and is about to stand up from the bench.
Jason begins to panic, reaching for his wallet. “Here freak. How about we make is 300?”
Eddie looks down at the money. Money he could really use. But this is so wrong on so many levels. He shouldn’t be doing this to you. Jason places the money in his hands anyways and Eddie’s hands close around it and he releases a heavy sigh as Jason leaves the table. Guilt riddling its way through his body.
Now Eddie really needed a plan to get back in your good graces.
****
On that following Saturday Eddie drove to the music store where you’d hit Jason’s car. He was happy to see your car sitting outside and decided to head in.
In the music shop you made your way from the cassettes and records all the way to the back where they kept the instruments. You grabbed this snazzy green guitar off the wall. The one you visited every weekend. As you grabbed it you found a nearby stool to sit on and practice as you continued to try and follow the song playing on your Walkman. Someday you planned on saving up your money and buying this very guitar.
As Eddie walked through the store he finally spotted you in the back and walked up to you. You were so into playing your music that you hadn’t noticed him standing behind you. He observed the way you played it and how gentle you were with the instrument. He was reminded of the time he went to get sweetheart from this very store. He’d saved up all his money for months and Wayne pitched in a little and even drove him to go get it.
Seeing you sitting there playing like that so peacefully Eddie decided not to disturb you. Not today. He’d make a better plan to make it up to you. So he backed away slowly and left the store.
You couldn’t help the feeling of being watched. Looking around to see nobody. You continued to play nonetheless.
The next day you took a trip down to your favorite bookstore and began looking at the horror novels. And as you walk down the aisle you feel that similar feeling of being watched. That is until you turn the corner at the end of the isle and are face to face with Eddie.
“Excuse me, do you know where they keep Stephen Kings “The Talisman”? I seem to have lost my copy.”
“What are you doing here Munson?”
“I heard they might have a poetry reading in here today. Figured I’d stop by.”
“You’re so-“
“charming?Wholesome?”
“More like unwelcome.”
You continue to look through the books as Eddie becomes visibly frustrated.
“You’re not as mean as you think you are, you know that?”
“And you’re not as badass as you think you are.”
“Ooooh someone still has her panties in a twist.”
“Don’t for one minute think that you had any effect whatsoever on my panties.”
“Well I had an effect on something. What was it?”
“Other than my body needing to faint that night then nothing.”
You find the copy of The Talisman and shove it to his chest and walk out of the store.
***
Dustin, Mike, and Eddie are sitting around at lunch yet again discussing you.
“You’re right twirps. She’s still pissed.”
“Sweet love renew thy force!” Dustin said a little too loud causing Eddie to smack the back of his head.
“Hey! Henderson! Don’t say shit like that around me. People can hear you.”
Mike chirps in. “You embarrassed y/n. Sacrifice your dignity and even the score for her.”
Eddie leaves Dustin and Mike alone at the table and goes to think of a plan on his own.
“Mike don’t say shit like that to Eddie, people can hear you.”
Mike scoffs and leaves Dustin at the table by himself.
***
The next day Eddie goes to make a deal with Robin. Eddie slipped Robin a $50 and in exchange Robin was to gather the band kids at lunch and make sure y/n was there.
At lunch everything was a bit odd. The entire hellfire table was empty and instead of sitting at your normal table, Robin and Nancy had insisted you sit at the band kids table today closest to the stage.
After sitting at lunch for a few minutes the curtains begin to open and you turn around to see instruments set up and people walking onstage. You recognize Eddie immediately and the rest of his band mates from Corroded coffin.
As Eddie got on stage he pointed to Robin and the entire band around you stood up and began to play a familiar tune at a rather loud volume. A few moments later Eddie started to play his guitar and the rest of his bands instruments came to life as Eddie began to play “I was made for loving you” by Kiss.
He pointed to you and then hopped from the stage down onto the table you were sitting at. At this point you couldn’t help the smile and laughter that had erupted on your face as the principal and school security started chasing Eddie and his band mates through the cafeteria for their unwanted performance as the entire student body laughed at them.
If this wasn’t enough to get back into your good graces then Eddie had no idea what would.
As you watched Eddie get dragged out of the cafeteria you couldn’t help but wonder how on earth you were going to help him get out of detention today.
****
After school detention with Mr Hans was always a nightmare you knew but you also knew he wasn’t the most competent teacher. Easily distracted or so you’d hoped.
As you walked into the quiet classroom and asked to talk to Mr Hans about improving the school's drama department.
As Mr Hans turned back to his desk you made eye contact with Eddie and motioned towards the window. He finally caught your drift and began to slowly move. As Eddie began to move you focused all your attention on making sure Mr Hans didn’t see Eddie making a run for it.
“Mr Hans, I really think we could use a new costume manager!” You said as you grabbed his arm roughly turning his back to Eddie. As you grabbed his arm you quickly began to try and find something to say.
“Wow Mr Hans! Your biceps are huge! You don’t take steroids do you? I heard steroids can have a negative effect on your uh…well you know?” At this point the entire class in detention is howling at your awkward display and Eddie attempts to escape. As Eddie snuck around a few more desks almost at the window the floor begins to creek and Mr Hans almost turns around.
“That’s not the point Mr Hans, the point is that the costume department should be focused on more because I think our plays always fall short due to our lack of good costuming!”
“No offense Ms Hopper but our plays usually fall short due to poor acting?”
“Well this would be a great misdirection! Using great costumes for people to focus on rather than the poor acting!”
“Misdirection? Why do we care about misdirection?”
Eddie was almost home free just outside the window and Mr Hans was thinking about what you said when there was another creek. Still talking to you he began to turn around in Eddie’s direction. “Okay so how do we get them to focus less on the bad acting then?”
You quickly grab your shirt and lift it up flashing everyone in the room. Eddie included. But you thought he wouldn’t be able to see you from his vantage point.
“Like this!”
Eddie grabbed a quick glance before using the opportunity to jump out the window and run for it. Once you see he’s out of the room you slowly lower your shirt and swallow the embarrassment of having your peers now know what your breasts look like.
“Well now that you’ve seen the plan Mr Han I’m gonna go and uh run the plan by someone else. So uh thanks for your time and I’ll be going.” That’s all you said before running out of the classroom at top speed.
***
As you sat in Eddie van laughing as he drove he couldn’t help but thank you for helping him sneak out of detention.
“So uh how did you keep Mr Hans distracted?”
“Oh I uh dazzled him with my….wits?”
Eddie chooses not to bring up that although you may have dazzled him it most definitely wasn’t with your wits. Instead he chooses to steer the conversation in a different direction.
“So what’s your excuse Y/n?”
“For?”
“For acting the way we do?”
“I don’t like to do what people expect me to do. Why should I live my life based on what other people want me to do?”
“Ah I see. You disappoint them from the start and then you don’t have to worry about disappointing them ever again?”
“Something like that.”
“Then you screwed up.”
“How?”
“You never disappointed me.”
There was no point in hiding the smile or blush that crept onto your face at his words. As he continued to drive Eddie pulled into a parking lot and turned to you.
“So. You up for it?”
“Up for what?”
You turn to look at where Eddie has taken you and see that he’s taken you to a paintball range. You already know you’re gonna try and kick his ass.
***
Eddie is the first to get hit by your red paint but he quickly retaliates by covering you in blue paint. Running around ducking behind random objects as you hid from each other. As Eddie missed and you laughed at him he quickly hit you with another one square in the stomach knocking the air out of you.
“Ooooo you’re so dead Munson”
You chased him and managed to get him covered in all sorts of colors. Making sure to smother his face in red paint. Eddie wasn’t going to go easy on you however, making sure you were covered in just as much paint as he was. Keeping the majority of your paint blue.
You finally ran out of paintballs and Eddie was the only one with paint left. You put your hands up in surrender and he pulled you in for a side hug. As you embraced you felt him slam the last ball of paint over your head causing blue paint to smear down your face. And you quickly ran away laughing.
As you two ran, Eddie tackled you and the two of you collapsed into a bail of heigh that had been setup for the paintball field. As he lay on top of you in the bail of heigh Eddie can’t help but admire you. Even covered in paint you still managed to be one of the most beautiful creatures he’d ever seen. So he leaned down and captured your lips into a tender kiss. You wrapped your arms around his neck and brought him closer into the kiss. Pulling away you both had purple lips.
What Eddie hadn’t realized during the kiss was that you’d stolen paintballs from him. So when he pulled away and gazed into your eyes you slammed the pain in his face and giggled as you ran away. If he could have bottled the giggle and drank it he would have.
After your paintball adventure, you and Eddie helped each other clean off before he drove you home. As the two of you got out of the van and walked towards the cabin Eddie continued the conversation from the car.
“No y/n none of that’s true scouts honor” he did this silly little salute that made you smile.
“So no satanic rituals?”
“Nope, just a game. So is it true you bit a kid's thumb off?”
“Rumor. Okay now is it true that your music is hypnotic?”
“Shouldn’t all music be? Is it true you kicked Andy so hard one of his balls had to be retrieved in an operation?”
“Fact! But he deserved it I swear. He tried to grope me in class.”
“Fair enough”
As you both took a seat on the porch of the cabin you turned to Eddie and took a more serious tone. “Okay Ed’s. Tell me something true.”
“Something true?……hm….. I hate broccoli.”
You let out a laugh but didn’t let up. “No, something real. Something nobody else knows.”
He brushed some hair out of your face as he looked at you.
“Okay. Well I know you’re sweet” he kisses your left cheek. “And sexy” a kiss to the right.
“And completely hot for me”
You scoff “you’re very confident in yourself Munson.”
You both laugh but kiss him anyway and he pulls away.
“Go to the prom with me?”
“Is that a request or a command?”
“Come on. Go with me?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“Cause it’s a stupid dance for stupid people and I’m not a stupid person and neither are you.”
“Come on…people won’t expect you to go?”
“Why are you pushing this Eddie? What’s in this for you?”
Eddie has to think of an excuse and fast.
“What? So now I need an excuse to want to hang out with you?”
“Answer the question Eddie.”
“You need therapy, you know that. You need some real help because not everything comes with ulterior motives.”
You scoff and run inside. You don’t need this. You guys had an amazing day together so why did he have to go and ruin everything?
***
Kay approached Hopper very cautiously. Knowing the most likely way this conversation is to go. “Hey dad.”
“Hey kid, whatcha need?”
“Well I was wondering if it would be okay for me to go to the prom?”
“Is y/n going to the prom?”
“Well no bu-“
“Then the answer is no. I know you wanna go to prom just to see that boy Jason again anyways.”
“Oh come on dad. Y/n doesn’t even want to go and yet here I am dying to go and I can’t.”
“Do you know what happens at prom, young lady?”
“Yes dad. People dance, kids make memories, people live their lives like normal human beings and yeah sure the dumb ones make mistakes but I’m not a dumb one.”
“Huh that’s what you think happens. Kids making memories is exactly what keeps the station busy on prom nights in this town.”
“Can we ignore the fact that you’re unhinged for like two seconds and focus on me wanting to be a normal kid for one night?”
“This discussion was over the minute you started it, Kay. You’re not going to prom with that Jason boy and that’s final. You’re not going unless y/n is.”
Kay sighed and walked away from her father.
As you walked past Kay’s room and heard the sounds of her crying you couldn’t help but feel guilty. So you knocked on the door and when you got the okay you went in.
“Listen I know you hate having to sit at home cause I’m not little miss popular anymore.”
“Like you actually care y/n”
“I do care! But I’m a firm believer in doing something because you want to do it and not because someone else wants you to do them.”
“Well I wish I had that luxury y/n. You know I’m the only sophomore who got asked to the prom and I can’t go because you don’t feel like it.”
You sighed and looked down at your hands.
“Jason never told you we went out did he?”
“Pfft sure y/n”
“Freshman year. We went out for a whole month.”
Kay Scoffs. “Why?”
“Well because he was Jason. And I was me. At the time anyways. Everyone expected us to.”
“But you hate Jason?”
“I do now. I didn’t then.”
“So, what happened between you two?”
“You sure you wanna know?”
Kay was nervous now but nodded her head.
“Well I slept with him. Just once. He pressured me into it and everyone I knew was doing it. Everything had just happened with Mom leaving after Sarah died and I made a mistake. When I told him I didn’t want to anymore afterwards he dumped me for Chrissy. After that I swore I wouldn’t do anything just because other people wanted me to. And I haven’t since. Well besides Harrington's party.”
“How did I never know?”
“I told Jason if he ever told anyone that the whole school would find out just how small his dick is.”
You both chuckled at that but then Kay stopped laughing. Now feeling bad that she hadn’t been there for you.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I wanted you to make up your own mind. I didn’t want you to do anything because I wanted you to.”
Kay began to grow angry now. “So instead you decided to just team up with dad and keep me locked in here all the time is that it? You think I’m stupid enough to repeat your mistakes?”
“Kay I’m sorry. I thought I was protecting you.”
“BY NOT LETTING ME EXPERIENCE ANYTHING FOR MYSELF?”
“Not all experiences are good Kay! Not everyone can be trusted!”
“Well I guess I’ll never know will I?”
Kay stood by her bedroom door and motioned for you to get out so you did. Feeling the harsh wind as Kay slammed the door behind you.
****
You took the weekend to debate and felt a growing guilt over your sisters' missed experiences due to your mistrust of people. So you decided to go to the prom with Eddie and allow your sister to go as well.
“Bye dad, I'm going to the prom!”
“Very funny y/n.” Before he could even ask, you were out the door. As Kay came down the stairs.
“Kay what is that?”
“This is a prom dress dad. Don’t you like it? Eleven helped me make it.”
“Yes it’s very pretty bu-“
The knock at the door interrupted Hoppers thoughts as Kay opened the door to a handsomely dressed Steve Harrington holding a bouquet of flowers. As Kay and Steve turned to leave, Hopper stopped them.
“Explain.”
“Well dad. You said I couldn’t go to the prom unless y/n had a date and she found this guy who’s actually really perfect for her and that really worked out for me cause Steve here asked me to the prom and I really really want to go and since y/n went I guess I’m allowed to.”
As Kay grabbed Steve’s hand to run down the driveway Hopper shouted after Steve. “ANY FUNNY BUSINESS WITH MY DAUGHTER AND YOU'LL BE IN CUFFS YOUNG MAN!”
****
The prom was more lively than you had anticipated as you looked through the doors. You were actually quite nervous to be there and still hadn’t found your date as you stood there. Eddie had found you immediately though. He’s pretty sure his eye’s magnetized to you the second you walked through the door and he hasn’t been able to look at anyone else since.
Eddie had been pretty surprised to get your call asking if his prom offer was still on the table but happily accepted. Deal or no deal he was grateful to spend the time with you. He just had to find the right time to come clean about everything and hope you didn’t claw his eyes out.
As you stood by the door Eddie finally plucked up the courage to walk over to you and handed you the rose he’d brought for you. You both compliment each other on how you looked and walked arm and arm into the prom.
“Look Eddie-“ you said, stopping and leaning on a rail. “I’m really sorry I questioned your motives. I was wrong.”
The twinge of guilt rang through Eddie’s chest and it was getting harder to ignore. He didn’t want to ruin the night but he didn’t know how much longer he could keep this from you.
He swallows hard. “You’re forgiven.”
As you began to dance with Eddie you’re swung around quickly to meet the eyes of Nancy.
“Have you seen Jonathan? He promised he’d meet me here?”
“Nance I thought Jonathan said he’d rather drop dead than be caught at prom?”
“Y/n he promised me!”
Eddie pointed across the room to a well groomed Jonathan holding flowers and Nancy squealed and ran to him. Leaving you and Eddie by yourselves once more.
You turn to the stage when you hear them start to play your favorite song and you turn to Eddie. “THEY'RE PLAYING MY SONG!!!”
“I called in a favor sweetheart.”
You jumped up and kissed him before beginning to dance to the music with him once more. And Eddie made sure to hold you tightly close to him.
As you danced with Eddie and held him close he began to speak to you. “Something real. You wanted to know. Everyone thinks I’m a freak cause of my father okay. Town criminal is a real bad guy who hurt a lot of people. Had a reputation. Being his kid meant I had a reputation from the start. There’s your realness” Eddie said as he dipped you towards the ground and you couldn’t help but smile and kiss him again. Appreciating his openness with you.
As the two of you stood back up Eddie was yanked backwards by Jason Carver.
“Hey freak! What the hell is Kay doing here with Steve Harrington? I didn’t pay you to take out y/n so some pretty boy could snake my chance with Kay!”
Upon hearing his words you’re desperately hoping you heard him wrong. Your eyes never leave Eddie’s and you can see the guilt written across his face and Eddie can see the devastation across yours making his heart sink down to his stomach.
“Nothing in it for you huh? No ulterior motive huh?” You say as you shove your way through the crowd angrily. Leaving Eddie and everyone behind.
Eddie doesn’t bother to address Jason as he makes his way through the crowd to chase after you.
Jason makes his way over to Steve.
“You messed with the wrong guy Harrington. Now you’re gonna pay. You and your little bitch.”
Steve puts a couple fingers onto Jason’s chest pushing him away.
“Back away, Carver. You’re crossing a line.”
Jason punches Steve square in the jaw making him fall to the ground. As Jason turns around his own face is met by a fist. None other than Kay.
“SHIT Kay! I have team yearbook photos tomorrow!”
“That’s for hitting Steve” she hits Jason again. “That’s for what you did to y/n”. And knees him in the dick. “And that’s for your stupid little game.”
Rushing over to Steve and helping him stand up she asks Steve if he’s okay.
“Never been better.” Steve says before pulling Kay into a kiss.
****
Outside Eddie finally catches up to you and manages to get in front of you.
“Please please y/n let me explai-“
“You were paid to take me out by the one person I hate the most. I knew this was a setup. And you lied to me about it. Made me feel like I was crazy for not trusting you.”
“Y/n it wasn’t like that okay!”
“Really Eddie? What was it then? A down payment for dating me and the bonus would come once you got into my pants?”
“NO! Y/N I DIDN'T CARE ABOUT THE MONEY I CARED… I cared about you.”
“You are so not who I thought you were, Munson.”
As you turned to leave Eddie grabbed you into one last kiss. If this is how he was going to lose you he was going to steal a kiss before you were gone. You pulled away quickly and ran out of the building holding back tears and Eddie stood in place doing the same.
****
As you sat on the porch of the cabin reading your novel, your sister Kay, your sister Eleven, Mike, and Steve Harrington walked on to the porch as a gaggle of other children piled into Steve’s car.
Eleven handed you a mug of coffee. “Y/n. Are you sure you do not want to go to Steve’s lake house with us? It will be fun?”
“No thank you. You guys make sure to have fun though.”
Kay came up behind Eleven and rested a hand on your shoulder. “Before we go I just wanted to say thanks. For coming last night. It meant alot to me.”
You nodded your head and gave a slight smile.
Watching everyone pile into Steve’s car as Hopper came to sit with you on the porch.
“So y/n. How was the prom.”
“It was fine.”
“Well what was fine about it.”
“Watching Kay beat the hell out of Jason Carver was pretty fun.”
“SHE DID WHAT!”
“What? Mad I rubbed off on her?”
“Nope. Just impressed and proud of my daughters that’s all. All 3 of them. Such bad asses. Did something right I guess.”
He sat closer to you. “You know y/n us fathers can’t always admit when we’re wrong. Can’t always admit when we have to start letting our kids grow up and live their own lives. I guess what I’m saying is. I’m gonna have a real hard time when you’re up at Indiana state.”
Your face lit up like a Christmas tree. “Wait so you’re saying I can go?”
He nodded his head yes and you jumped onto him in an embrace that Hopper welcomed graciously.
****
As Ms O’Donnell stood in front of the class preparing the class for their presentation and mocking Jason about his black eye you couldn’t help but stare directly at your desk. Eddie had actually shown up for class today and you didn’t want to risk looking at him. When Ms O’Donnell asked for volunteers to read their sonnets you raised your hand and went to the front of the class.
Eddie had been watching you all period. Hoping you would look at him. Hoping you would show him any sign that you even cared he was there. But you hadn’t. And now as you stood in front of the class about to read your poem Eddie wouldn’t take his eyes off of you. Taking in the sight and memorizing you as you began to speak.
“I hate the way you talk to me.
I hate the way you don’t cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my truck.
I hate it when you stare.” You glance up quickly from your work and your eyes meet Eddie’s. It’s suddenly very hard to hold back all your pent up emotion. Upon seeing him all the love and pain and hurt you’d felt came rushing back and the tears began to well in your eyes.
“I hate your big dumb leather jacket and the the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick. It even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you’re always right.
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh.
Even worse when you make me cry.” By now you’re hardly looking at the words you wrote on the paper. You’re looking at Eddie as the tears begin to become visible to him and your voice is getting higher and squeaky with every passing word.
“I hate it when you’re not around and the fact that you didn’t call.
But mostly I hate the way I don’t hate you. Not even close. Not even a little bit. Not even at all.”
Your face was beat red and the tears sliding down your face couldn’t be stopped. Eddie felt his heart beat in his throat as he sat there and watched you cry. He almost wanted to stand up and kiss you right then and there and tell you it was all okay but he didn’t. He watched you walk to your desk and grab your bag as you stormed out of the class.
****
The drive home from school was actually nice. You’d turned up the music real loud and rolled down the windows to feel the wind. Taking the long way home from school. Pulling into your driveway at the cabin you couldn’t help but feel relieved knowing you’d get to be alone for a while. Since Hopper was at work and everyone else was at Steve’s cabin.
Walking into your room you immediately stop and drop everything in your hands onto the floor. Walking towards your bed to pick up a green guitar that hadn’t been there when you left. You rush to pick it up and hold it when a voice from behind you makes you jump.
“Nice guitar right?”
“A fender strat? Is it for me?”
“Well that would explain why it’s in your bedroom right? Besides I had some extra cash lying around. Some asshole paid me to take out this really great girl.”
He said it with such sincerity that you couldn’t help but smirk. “Is that right?”
“Yeah but I screwed up big time. I uh. I fell for her. Pretty hard actually I think it might leave a bruise.”
“Really?”
Eddie scoffs and cups your face in his hands. “It’s not everyday you find a girl willing to flash someone to get you out of detention.”
You laugh and cover your face with your hands. Eddie removes your hands from your face and leans in to kiss you tenderly. You kiss him back but pull away.
“You can’t just buy me a guitar and kiss me Everytime you fuck up you know.”
“I know.” Eddie said as he kissed you on the forehead. “That’s why they have bass” a kiss on the right cheek now. “Drums” a kiss on the left cheek. “Hell maybe even a synthesizer” he kisses you on the lips more passionate this time. You allow it and lean into it.
Kissing Eddie back with more fervor as you begin to stumble back towards the bed and you reach for Eddie’s vest and begin to move it down his shoulders and he stops you. Cupping your face in his hands.
“Hey. I mean it. You wanna stop at any point you say the word and we stop. I didn’t give you the guitar to get laid.”
You tug his vest closer to you. “I know. That’s why you’re gonna get laid anyways.”
He has the biggest grin on his face as he leans in to kiss you again and backs you towards the bed until your knees hit it. He removes his vest and his jacket followed by his shirt but he stops there and turns his attention to you.
Tugging on the bottom of your shirt with a raised eyebrow you nod and he lifts it over your head. Inhaling once he sees your breasts. He reaches out and cups them firmly giving your nipples a squeeze making you moan. God he’s been wanting this since the day he saw them in detention.
Moving his hands down he’s groping you everywhere and running his hands up and down your torso as he begins to make out with you again. Pulling his lips away from yours he begins to pepper kisses down your jaw and neck and finds a sensitive spot just under your ear that makes you whine. That’s the spot he chooses to start sucking on.
“Ed-“ your breath hitches when he nibbles on that spot just a little bit. “Ed, if my dad sees this you’re a dead man.”
He pulls away and reaches for your belt loops pulling your body flush against his. “Then I’ll die a happy man.”
His hands undo the button of your pants and you slide them down your legs and kick them off. Eddie pushes you gently onto the bed but doesn’t move himself above you. Instead he’s still standing in front of you. Before he kneels next to the bed. “Hey sweetheart can you spread your legs for me” he whispers as he leaves a trail of kisses down your thighs. You do as he says and spread your legs and he’s able to see a wet patch right In the middle. He leans back and chuckles, causing you to sit up on your elbows slightly frustrated.
“What’s so funny down there?”
“Oh nothing. Just thought you said I didn’t have any effect whatsoever on your panties.”
You laugh and plop back down on the bed and take the initiative to start taking your own panties off since he wants to tease but he quickly sees this and grabs for them himself. Yanking them down the rest of the way and then bringing them to his face to sniff them before balling them up and shoving them In his back pocket.
Spreading your legs a little more using his hands Eddie begins to kiss up your thighs and nibble at parts making you whine. He uses his right hand to run a finger through your folds before running it over your clit making you jump. He can tell you're sensitive and getting worked up so he decided to just dive in. He needed a good meal today anyways.
Once he tastes you however his movements become almost ravenous. Like a vampire who hasn’t had blood in centuries. You taste magnificent to him and he can’t get enough. And judging by the loud moans you're eliciting he thinks you may be enjoying it too. He takes a finger and funs it down to your entrance and pushes in making your gasp out a moan as your hands fly down to Eddie’s hair stroking it.
He pushes his finger all the way in and curls it searching for a special spot. He pulls the finger out but when he pushes back in this time he adds a second finger and curls looking for that spot. When he finds it your whole body twitches underneath him and he smiles. He continues to pump his fingers in and out of you at an increasing pace once he can tell you are close by your increased moans and the tensing he can feel around his fingers.
Everything has hun so turned on that he’s practically humping the edge of the bed just to find some relief. You can feel the coil in you about to snap and you’re about to warn him when he adds a third finger and your orgasm washes over you without warning. Whole body convulses as you chant his name as if he were a god.
He helps you ride your high until you gently push his head away from being overstimulated. Pulling his fingers out of you he licks them one at a time until you grab his hand and pull him up to you. Choosing to lick the last finger clean yourself from wanting to know what you taste like. Eddie groans at the sight of it and he grinds down onto you causing you to moan against his fingers.
Eddie stands back up and looks at you. “Are you sure you want to do this?”
You gather some brain cells and attempt to. I’d yes but Eddie isn’t having that. Leaning over you and taking your chin in his fingers, he makes you look at him. “Words sweetheart. Now are you sure you want to do this.”
You take a deep breath. “Yes Ed’s. I want this.”
Now you sit up and begin undoing his pants for him because he’s taking too long and he lets you. He kicks off his jeans and boxers left standing in your room naked and your eyes fixed on his rather large cock. He’s leaking a bit so you take him into your hand and stroke him a few times. He leans into your touch slightly before pulling away. “Sorry baby but I’m not going to last if we keep doing that.”
As he goes to his jacket to get a condom you stand up from the bed and he looks at you with confusion thinking you might have changed your mind. Instead you grab his hand and lead him back to the bed making him sit down first propped up against the headboard. You straddle his hips and take the condom from his hands.
Ripping it open with your teeth and throwing the wrapper on the table next to you. You take the condom and slowly roll it down his cock and fist it to make sure it fits well on him and he groans at the contact. You move to where you’re hovering right over his cock and you hold eye contact as you begin to slide down.
Eddie is bigger than you’ve ever had so the stretch is a little painful but the kind of pain you’d do over and over again. You try to hold eye contact as long as you can but once he’s fully inside you, you can’t help but throw your head back and roll your eyes once he bucks up into you.
Still feeling sensitive from your last orgasm and the way he’s filling up every sense you have, you're very aware that you won’t last long but you don’t mind because you’re pretty sure he won’t either. You begin to roll your hips and bounce a little on him and Eddie is already a moaning mess underneath you.
His head is buried in the crook of your neck as he kissed and bites every spot he can reach as he fucks up into you. His hand reached down between the two of you and begins to rub your sensitive clit and you know you’re about to explode. You begin to bounce even faster and Eddie’s other hand around your waist is so tight that you know you’ll have an Eddie handprint on your waist when this is over.
As Eddie feels you getting closer and knows he’s coming undone as well he moves his head back against the headboard and moves his hand from your waist to your face and makes you turn to look at him. As he thrusts up into you a final time you watch each other’s expressions as your orgasms wash over the both of you and you sigh in relief as you rest your forehead against his. And his hand moves to rub your back gently as he pecks kisses all over your face.
As the two of you get cleaned up and redressed. The two of you end up dancing in your room half naked to a song that came over the radio. “I was made for loving you” played as Eddie held you close to him. Being shocked back when the two of you heard the front door slam close and the sound of keys being thrown on a table is heard. Eddie quickly grabs his things and runs to the window as you follow with his vest in hand. You try to hand it to him but he refuses pecking a kiss on your head.
“Keep it. It’ll give me an excuse to come back and get it.”
“You’re impossible Eddie Munson.”
“You love me for it y/n”
You roll your eyes. “I hate you”
He grabs your jaw and pulls you into one last tender kiss. “You wish you hated me sweetheart” he says with a wink before he disappears from the window.

Please can I ask for some headcanons about dating Patrick Verona (10 Things I Hate About You)? Please? Thank you!
Tumblr media
- When you started at your new school, you immediately grew to be intrigued by your classmate before even knowing his name.
- A classic bad boy, charming, handsome, breaking the rules...
- Just your type.
- Even when you knew such boys could be bad influence.
- Your new friends were worried about your crush, often those kinds of boys could be violent behind closed doors.
- And honestly, you were kind of afraid of such behavior too.
- But you couldn't help it, especially after he started to show interest towards you too.
- He began to be flirty, though also a bit cocky.
- But he got you flustered anyway.
- It was the first time a boy had showed any romantic interest towards you, so you weren't entirely sure if he was actually interested, if he was just messing with you or... if he was just after your body and not you.
- But as time went by, his actual crush on you began to be more and more genuine.
- Unless he was one hell of an actor, he seemed to be really into you.
- Your friends told you to be wary, but they admitted that he did really feel like he was being genuine.
- So, you began to meet him after school.
- You asked him that you'd take it slow, you wanted to get to know him properly without making it anything more.
- He agreed to that, understanding your doubts.
- It started with just casually hanging out. Getting some food together and eating at the park, just chatting about your lives, going to school parties together, going on walks together...
- But eventually, he asked you on a real date.
- He admitted he wasn't used to being a romantic who could sweep people off their feet, he only knew how to be a charmer towards new people. 
- And the basic dinner and a movie after was something he apologised for.
- You were more than happy about it though, being able to spend time with him.
- When you opened the door for him upon him fetching you from your home, he looked you over in your attire, seemingly stunned.
"You look amazing." - Patrick
- You chuckled, looking at your feet for a moment and biting your lip.
"Oh, stop it." - You
- You had the most amazing time that night, and when Patrick dropped you off, he asked for your permission to kiss you.
- You blinked at him, but then eagerly nodded.
- So he slowly leaned in, and then he carefully pressed his lips against yours.
- You had never kissed anyone before, so at first you weren't sure what to do, but quickly got the hang of it and rested your arms on his forearms as he placed his hands on your waist.
- When you parted, you both laughed quietly, and at that moment you both knew you were now a couple.
- The next morning, upon you arriving to school, you found the most beautiful bouquet of flowers from your locker, and realised Patrick had used his lockpicking skills to surprise you.
- He also began leaving love notes at the inside of your locker door.
- When you were together, he usually had his arm around your waist.
- He also wasn't shy with PDA.
- Kissing your cheek, neck, shoulders...
- At first you felt awkward by so many looking at you being lovey-dovey, but got used to it as time went by.
- And, you kind of enjoyed seeing that old grump Mrs. Highwood glaring at you in disapproval as Patrick's face was buried into your neck.
- Your friends also approved of Patrick in the end, and you often hung out together.
- Your relationship ended up being the couple goals for many in your school.

Metal type; Eddie Munson x reader
*Author's note*
Well this came at a funny moment, plus after seeing some posts of how Eddie Munson and Patrick Verona from 10 things I hate about you are similar, I figured why not do this fic with a fun little twist at the ending. Unlike my Halloween fic there's not much warnings here but I'll still list them as followed:
Warnings: parental death, grief, drugs (not hardcore just cigarettes and joints mentioned), some angst but ends with fluff at the end.
Enjoy the fic my darlings :)

_________________________________________________________
There’s been a lot of rumors going around lately.  Now me I typically stay out of that gossiping chain because it’s just a bunch of hens clucking up the coop where they don’t need to be sticking their beaks into.  But when the rumor’s involve (Y/n), that starts perking up my ears like a deer.
Now lately my girl’s (well at least in my head she’s my girl, I haven’t gotten the balls to ask her out yet but I have my reasons! Like this for example) been going through a rough patch.  Her mom just passed away from breast cancer and it’s been hard on her not only having to go through the whole funeral process and trying to figure out how to keep the house, and trying to deal with all of that whilst still going to school and trying to finish off senior year.
She shouldn’t need all this stress.  She deserves to have fun her last year of school, not be dealing with house mortgage, trying to sell her mom’s stuff or put it in storage, keep paying off the funeral and hospital bills, Jesus Christ she shouldn’t deal with this.  Now I have tried to at least help her but she’s been pushing me away telling me and the guys that she’s fine and that she doesn’t want to burden us with all this family drama.
Now I may have been young when I lost my mom, but I remember the stress that Wayne felt having to go through mom’s stuff since my old man sure as hell wasn’t going to do any of it.  But that’s not even the worst part of the rumors.
Hawkins is a small town where everyone knows everyone blah blah blah blah, but there is a new face that’s been around Hawkins since the start of the new year.  Some guy from Seattle named Patrick Verona.  Now if I’m honest, he seems like a descent guy.  Good taste in music, pretty metal looking, not into sports or anything like most guys are.  But he’s been hanging around (Y/n) far too much and he doesn’t even go to our school and yet people are saying they’re dating.
Again I’ve tried not to believe the rumors but I have seen how Patrick seems to be there whenever (Y/n) is too depressed to be around anyone else.  Always having an arm around her, allowing her a shoulder to cry on, and even kissing her tears away.  I can do all of that, hell we’ve been friends since middle school! Why can’t she allow me to do any of that stuff for her!? I want to be there for her so why isn’t she letting me help her out!?
It was lunchtime and once again (Y/n) hadn’t shown up for lunch.  I silently munched on my pretzels.
“(Y/n) not joining us again?” I heard Henderson say.
“Nope.” Said Jeff.
“I think I heard she went off with that Patrick guy again. Saw his bike coming up during third block just before the lunch bell rang.” Said Gareth.
“And my best guess is she’s gonna miss Hellfire again.” Whined Wheeler.
“Back off Wheeler!” I snapped throwing a pretzel at his head.  “She has a very good excuse to miss so many meetings. Grief isn’t something that can just be put on hold like a stupid laundry basket game or a dentist appointment.”
“Ow! Jesus…..” Wheeler whined.
“He didn’t mean it Eddie.” Henderson tried to lighten up Wheeler’s insensitive comment.
“Really cause I think he was making a statement on how I should run my club. Am I wrong Wheeler?” I sneered lowly.
“No Eddie I swear I didn’t mean it like that. I’m sorry.” Even for his weak-ass apology, I dropped it and went back to my snacked lunch.
“To be fair though Eddie, normally this many missed Hellfire meetings results in automatic banishment from the club. You sure you ain’t just going easy on her because you love her?” Gareth said bluntly.  I smacked him upside the head.
“Continue to say stupid shit like that and I’ll think about the banishment for another member of this group.” I threatened which got him to shut up and look back down at his tray.  When I looked up I soon spotted (Y/n) heading for the back doors.
Quickly I grabbed my lunchbox and chased after her.  I at least wanted to check up on her and see how she’s been doing since last I saw her a week or so ago.
“(N/n) wait! Wait!” I charged out the main doors of the school and she turned to face me.
“Oh Eddie, it’s you.”
“Yeah, sorry bout that didn’t mean to startle you.”
“You didn’t.” she looked extremely exhausted.  Bags upon bags were under her eyes and the poor thing looked exhausted.  The usual bubbly girl that I loved was nothing more than a shell of her former self.  Hell this girl would even sleep in class, the one thing she’s never done for as long as I’ve known her.
“So—so listen I uhh—I know it’s been hard lately for you. But I-uhh…I was wondering if you’d like to uhh…..have a movie night after Hellfire at my place? I’ll let you pick out any of your favorites, even if it’s that cheesy rom-com shit that I don’t like.”
“Eddie, that’s sweet of you but I—”
Tumblr media
“Hey girlie, everything alright here?” that Australian accent (which I think is fake) came up and soon Patrick came up wrapping an arm around (Y/n)’s shoulders and in his other hand a bag of McDonalds, all the while holding a toothpick between his teeth.
“Everything’s fine Patrick.” My jaw ticked as (Y/n) introduced us, “I don’t think you both have been properly introduced. Eddie this is Patrick, Pat this is Eddie Munson.”
“Ohh Eddie? The Eddie Munson? Well nice to meet you mate.” Being the gentleman, we both shook hands and I said trying not to sound condescending.
“You too man. Nice ride.”
“What that old thing? A hand me down by my dad. Trying to save up for a real sweet ride. May even take this little lady for a joy ride. God knows she needs it.” He lightly jostled her which made her smile what almost resembled her real, sunshine smile (the smile that I always got out of her, the smile that rivals all the stars in the sky, the smile that I wish I could make her do again, but they all seem to be reserved for Patrick Verona now).
“So uhh about……” I started back up the conversation between (Y/n) and I but she said.
“Eddie I’m sorry but Patrick and I have some plans tonight. Maybe some other time?”
“Yeah, yeah sure no uhh—no problem. Just figure I’d offer.” I said nonchalantly as I stuffed my hands in my pockets and kicked a couple of pebbles at my feet.
“And Eddie, about Hellfire I……”
“No need. Your temporary leave is still accepted. Just come to me whenever you’re ready to return.”
“Thanks for understanding Eddie.”
“C’mon sugar glider, better get going before someone sees us.” Patrick said as he took them over to his bike.
“See yah around Eddie.” She said to me.
“Yeah, yeah see yah.” She got behind Patrick and wrapped her arms around him as he placed a second helmet on her head before revving his bike and pulled on out of the parking lot driving off down the road. “That manipulative son of a bitch.” I walked back inside and prepared for the remaining day of hell.
The day came and went and I found myself over at Family video just to browse but also to return some of the movies that needed to be returned (they may also have been late I honestly can’t remember).
“And he just waltz up and has her pinned up to his side like an ornament.” I ranted.  “And seriously I cannot take that accent seriously, don’t you think it’s fake?”
“Eddie, you’ve gotta stop obsessing over this Patrick guy, it’s not healthy.” Robin told me. 
“I can’t Robin! The guy’s completely taking advantage of her! I can’t just sit idly by anymore as some metal-head biker punk comes into town, and swoops down at her like a hawk.”
“You know it is kinda scary how he almost resembles you. Same wild hair, same eyes, you sure you don’t gotta brother or something?” Steve asked as he was stacking some videos.
“Not helping here Harrington.” I grumbled.
“Eddie, how do you know this is like a romantic thing? I mean, take me and Steve. We hang out all the time and we’re not together.”
“Oh absolutely not. Yet I’ll always have Robin’s back if she needs it.”
“Strictly platonic. With a capital PLAH. Have you seen them kiss on the lips?”
“No. But that doesn’t mean they probably don’t do it behind closed doors. Plus couples don’t always make lip to lip contact in public.”
“You can kiss platonically too. I see the cheerleaders doing it all the time, course it’s that fake Barbie air-cheek kiss but still they do it. You’re letting your imagination run wild, again.”
“Plus man if you had told her how you felt in the first place, maybe this wouldn’t be happening.” Steve added.
“I told you man, I was going to tell her but then she got the call from the hospital about her mom’s diagnosis. It—didn’t feel right to tell her. She needed her best friend, not a confession to think over while her mom’s dealing with sudden stage 4 breast cancer.”
“I agree with him on that Steve.” Robin said.
“Okay, okay but still you just…..gotta relax, okay? Look maybe he’ll move on after a while and forget about (Y/n).”
“It’s impossible to forget about her, that girl can make anyone fall in love with her.” I grumbled.  The bell rang and speak of the devil himself, Patrick came strolling in and he said.
“I’m told this is where you can get some good films.”
“Yeah, yeah what can we help you with?” Steve spoke up.
“Something upbeat and funny. Sugar glider needs it for tonight.” Sugar glider? Wait that’s what he had called (Y/n) yesterday, she isn’t…..after rejecting our daily movie night she goes off and has a movie night with this asshole? I swear if he weren’t so relatable, I’d beat his ass right now.
“Okay well comedies are just over there man.”
“Thanks mate, say you two wouldn’t happen to be Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley would you?”
“We are, how do you know our names?” Robin said.
“(Y/n) has told me a lot about you two. Especially how you two have been helping her out with sorting through her mum’s belongings. My thanks to you both.” So she goes off and tells this guy about all of us but she doesn’t say a word about you?
“Yeah, yeah it was no problem. She’s helped us out so it was only fitting we’d help her out.” Robin said as she was stacking some tapes along the shelf.  As Patrick picked out some of (Y/n)’s favorite comedies like Beverly Hills Cop, Ferris Buller’s Day off, Back to the Future, and the Princess Bride. As Robin rang them up for him, he turned to me and asked, “Now (Y/n) told me you’re the one to go to with some good deals on weed. You got anything in stock?”
Weed? Doesn’t he know that (Y/n) hates the smell of weed? Hell the girl’s allergic to cigarette smoke! Which is why I always make it appoint to never, ever under any circumstances wear the same clothes I smoke in around her let alone smoke around her.  Hell I’ll have the trailer burning multiple scented candles just to rid of the smell, yeah it gives me and Wayne headaches but it’s worth it so that she’s comfortable.
“What’s the occasion?” I demanded.
“Nothing special, just need a refill. Ran out of my own stuff and of course (Y/n) don’t have anything.” Jesus this guy is really gonna smoke around her?
“Regretfully I’m out of stock at the moment.”
“Damn, oh well. Gas station always has some smokes.” Jesus this guy is a grade A asshole.  And not in the popular jock standard, I mean just straight up insensitive asshole.  “Later.” He then walked out after paying for the videos.
“You see what I mean?!” I snapped lowly.
“The guy’s just asking for some smokes Eddie. You do it all the time.” Said Steve.
“Yeah but not around (Y/n)! Jesus I don’t even know why I’m still talking to you guys.” I rubbed my face into my hands in annoyance.
“Eddie, why don’t you just go home? Relax, have a drink, and just get your mind off of Patrick and (Y/n). I’m telling you you’re getting too involved in this and your imagination is running away with you.” Suggested Robin.  I stuffed my hand into the twizzlers jar taking a handful of them, bit into one and stormed out of the store.
As I lay across my bed twirling a twizzler in my hand I couldn’t help but think about (Y/n) and Patrick.  The more I thought about them together, the more my blood boiled and my other hand kept fidgeting with my rings.
“Screw it!” I sneered lowly before getting up, grabbing my keys and racing off toward her house.  I parked a bit off from her house and slowly walked up towards her hedges and hid behind them.  I slowly peeked over her window and saw (Y/n) sitting on the couch talking on the phone with someone while her TV was paused on Beverly Hills Cop.
Patrick soon came in with two beers and plopped down right next to her.  He set the beers down and had an arm wrapped around her and he looked at her concerningly.  His ringed hand stroking the top of her shoulder.  She then hung the phone up and I saw her lower her face into her hands in defeat.  Patrick stroked his hand through her hair and the two of them briefly exchanged words.
I then watched as (Y/n) got up from the couch but Patrick suddenly grabbed her by her waist and pulled her over his lap and he gave her a peck to her forehead.  She gave him a gently slap to the chest before he allowed her to get up off his lap.  But again, just as she walked two steps, he sat up, grabbed her by the waist again and pulled her back across his lap and pecked her twice this time on both her cheeks.  She shoved at his face playfully and told him something that I couldn’t understand but he allowed her to get up a third time.
As she got up, he then grabbed her and they playfully went down to the ground as he wrestled on top of her tickling her, I could hear the faint sounds of her laughter coming out from the window.
So it is true, she really did find someone better than me.  Well if that’s her decision then—I can’t stop her.  But this guy should at least have the decency in knowing of what she likes.  I walked over to the door and knocked on it rapidly.  I heard the laughter stop and footsteps coming to the door and opening it was (Y/n)m her hair a bit disheveled from their wrestling I had just seen.
“Eddie, what are you—”
“I need to talk to Patrick.”
“Uhh okay.” I didn’t wait for her to open the door as I just stormed in.  When I saw him getting up from the floor, he looked up at me and said.
“Well this is a surprise. Did you end up finding some smokes left over?” that smug-eating grin came across his face.
“Even if I did have any smokes or left over joints, I would tell you one thing. Don’t you ever smoke it around (Y/n), okay? She can’t stand the smell of it, not to mention she’s allergic to cigarette smoke. And that’s no joke, okay? Her breathing becomes so tight she can barely breathe, it’s like she’s going into anaphylactic shock if she even smells a whiff of it. So if you’re gonna date her, don’t you ever do that in front of her.”
“What?” he said confused with a head tilt.
“No, no you pay attention because you don’t know just how lucky you are man!” I snapped.  I jostled his shoulders and emphasized each point I made with a firm poke to his chest.  “You better treat this lady like a Queen, okay? Because if I had someone like (Y/n) (L/n) I would bring her her favorite flowers every chance I got. And they aren’t roses because she says roses are too cliché, you understand? Her favorite flowers are blue orchids, you got that blue orchids. Because they bring out her bright, beautiful eyes. And when she’s sick, she gets chicken ramen just like how her mom used to make for her with a side of saltine crackers. I would be her shoulder to cry on and her best friend. And I would spend every second of every day trying to get her to smile because she—she has the most beautiful smile that I’ve missed so much. And that I would do anything to see that smile again.”
I turned to look at (Y/n) who was staring at me with this wide-eyed look of awe.  Even though my heart was aching at the fact I had now spilled my feelings for her even though she’d never be mine, I—I had to at least let her know that I’ll always be there for her.
“But she chose you. So……you better do just that. And much more to make her happy, especially now. Because that’s what I would do.” I released Patrick’s shoulders and went to walk out the door but (Y/n) quickly got to the door before me and shut it, staring up at me with soft but sad eyes.
We both stared at each other until she slowly walked towards me.  I looked down shamefully but I soon felt her take my face in between her hands and her lips soon met mine.  Her arms slid around my neck and I wrapped mine around her waist bringing her closer to me as I kissed her back.
“See what’d I tell yah? He’s your penguin.” Patrick’s voice said.  We separated and saw he was leaning up against the wall, toothpick in mouth with a wide grin.
“What?”
“Eddie, I’d like for you to formally meet Patrick Verona. My cousin.” She told me.  I looked to Patrick in shock who grinned at us again and gave me a two-finger salute.
“Your—your cousin……”
“Well when we call each other cousins its more loosely. I treat my little sugar glider like she’s my little sister.” Patrick told me. 
“He’s been a real familial support system that I haven’t been getting with the rest of the family ever since mom got sick. After the funeral he just—showed up and he’s been staying here ever since helping me out with all this stuff.”
“Aunt (M/n) was the glue that kept the family together and ever since her death, the family’s been divided and (Y/n) has been stuck in the middle while still trying to finish school. I couldn’t let her go through all that drama and stress alone. One of us has to at least be successful, right sis?” He gave her a wink which made (Y/n) shake her head.
“They were right, I’m a complete dumbass.” I muttered.
“Look mate, any man whose willing to allow me to take this girl as my own, is a real man in my books. Even though if we did hook up we’d have some ugly-ass kids.” The three of us softly laughed.  Patrick came up to me and placed a strong hand to my shoulder softly jostling it around, “You know, I haven’t heard my little sugar glider talk about a boy the way she talks about you Eddie Munson. Now I see that you are truly something special to my little cousin.” I turned over to (Y/n) and said.
“More than anything in this whole world.” (Y/n) softly smiled as she placed her hand over her heart.
“Then you have my permission to date her, but just know this. If you ever break her heart or mistreat her,” the sound of a switchblade came out and I froze as the gleam of the blade came below my chin.
“Patrick!” (Y/n) exclaimed. As quick as he had brought it out, he sheathed it back and put it back into his pocket.
“Just for a word of warning.” He gave me a hard pat on the back and walked out ruffling (Y/n) hair before saying.  “Be back in a few hours, don’t have too much fun you two lovebirds.” Patrick then left the house leaving the two of us alone.
“I am so sorry about that, I swear that man acts like the fucking Joker sometimes.”
“He’s more metal than I ever could be.” (Y/n) came up and wrapped her arms around me.
“I think you are just the right amount of metal for me Eddie.”
“Really?”
“Really, really.” We both smiled and kissed each other again when a bang at the window spooked us apart and there stood Patrick giving us a warning glare (well mainly at me).  (Y/n) flipped him off and tossed a pillow at the window.  He stuck his tongue mockingly before disappearing from the window.
So the rest of the night was spent cuddling up on the couch watching her favorite movies until we both ended up falling asleep together.  By morning I noticed a blanket had been put around us both and I knew I wasn’t the one to have done it and neither had (Y/n).  There I saw a note on the table and it read:
Take care of my little sugar glider. And if you’re ever interested in some embarrassing stories she hasn’t told you from when we were kids, meet me for some smokes later this evening at the Hideout.
Patrick
I smiled and looked down at my best girl and kissed the top of her head.  At least we both had something in common besides physical appearances and our outlook on the world, we both care deeply for this girl that’s in my arms and want nothing but the best for her as she tries to move on from her grief.

Your eyes was shining as your heart was beating faster than before you could feel there's butterflys into your stomach it's was weird feeling but..
It's was so beautiful and good..too good to be true
You felt high on your cheeks because you was red like tomato but when you heard the steps of your mother coming to your room
You hided the letter into your bag again..
Come on sweetie we're waiting for you - your mother explained calmly after opened the door and looked at you
Yes mom i was just busy cleaning my bag - you lied and smiled because you noticed she believed you
Darling you need to eat and rest come on join us let's enjoy our Christmas nights - your mother explained tenderly as grabbed your arm gently
I know mom i know - you replied calmly as smiling while your eyes was shining
You smiled as standing up and walking with your mother leaving your room for dinner and making it empty for some time
But you will never know the handwriting was from Patrick Verona the bad boy of your high school
But as he wrote into the letter while everyone was thinking him..you was the only person into his mind
He want to be your boyfriend your man the one you put your eyes on and the happiness of your heart
A simple from your mouth will make him..

I WOULD DO IT AGAIN
Part 1 || Part 2
- after the disastrous events of last night’s party, patrick comes back to dig out the truth (patrick verona x gn!reader, fluff, ⚠️ themes of alcohol / being drunk, this is the second part).
Tumblr media
word count: 1457
a/n - it’s done!!!!! tysm to the people that read and enjoyed part one. i’m planning to write for patrick more, so stick around if you want to :) once again, this is inspired by the vibes of francesca by hozier
Tumblr media
You wake to dappled sunlight filtering through your dust-speckled blinds. Your eyes flutter closed again as the gentle caresses of the morning are giving you a splitting headache- that, or the sheer amount of alcohol you downed last night. You move to pull the covers over your head, but your sheets are stuck on the corner of your bed. You just slip down further instead, groaning at the needling pains attacking your forehead.
When you try to think of the events of last night, past the time you spent dancing to the beat of pulsing strobe lights, very little comes to mind. Even the dancing is blurry. A warm voice, maybe, and the cold night air. The stars, spinning. Everything being blurry and broken and tinged with blue. God, your head hurts. You put your hand on your forehead, trying to soothe the ache.
When your front door opens, breaking your early-morning silence, you curse the god that sent your parents home so early. You will never know peace today.
Your door creaks open, and you snuggle down under your covers until your feet are almost hanging off the bed. You can’t let them know you’ve been out drinking. You hope they just think you’re being a moody teenager, too chronically tired to wake up earlier than 10:00 AM.
“You up?” The voice is rich, deep, and lightly accented. It’s definitely not your parents.
You shuffle up, poking your head out of your mess of blankets. You wince as your headache spits more of its fire.
“Pat?” Your throat is dry, and it’s reflected in your words. They come out scratchy and hoarse, and you wrinkle your nose at how pathetic you must look and sound. Does he know what happened when you got wasted?
Like he can read your mind, he closes the door and sits down on your bed. “You were pretty fucking wild last night. Got me worried.”
“You? Worried? About me?” You laugh, voice still on the rocks. “Usually it’s the other way around.”
Patrick smiles, but there’s something sad laced between his teeth. It shows through his eyes, how his dark brown irises look at you like a mourning dog. You sit up.
“What even happened at the party?” You ask. “I don’t even remember you being there.” You must’ve done something horrific to make him look like that. Did you flip off a police officer or scream at him?
Usually, you’re put together. A model citizen, even. Usually, you’re the one influencing him to be better. Usually, usually. Last night was definitely not a usual night.
His smile disappears from his lips, and a worried frown replaces it. He knows he has to bring it up. He debated it over and over in his head at home. Even on the trip to your house he was still trying to decide if he should tell you or not. He knows, though, that if he was the one drunk out of his mind, you would tell him the truth. You wouldn’t keep it from him. Besides, the burn inside him aches to know if what you said was true. “You said something stupid.” He mutters.
You internally punch yourself but groan out loud. You knew it. Why did you ever let yourself get that drunk? You should’ve just stayed home.
“What did I say?”
“You said…” He looks away, and you can’t help but notice how he keeps avoiding eye contact. “You said you loved me.”
That kickstarts your heart. Now your chest is pounding and you can hear the ringing in your head. You can feel the pulsing heat, the burn that comes with this.
“I know you didn’t mean it. People do stupid shit when they’re drunk. Don’t worry about it.” He says gruffly. He moves to stand up, but in a you grab his hand after a brief moment of hesitation.
You do love him. So, so much. “I wasn’t lying.” You whisper, and his eyes widen the slightest bit.
For a minute, you remember that this was exactly how he looked last night. Curls wild, the smell of smoke clinging to his body. And you love him just as fiercely now as you did then.
“You don’t regret it?” His voice shakes a little at the end of his sentence.
You’re panicking now. You’ve never done anything like this before, and today was not the day you were planning on starting. Every single possibility is racing through your mind, and you feel like you might throw up, but you have to tell the truth. You’ve gotten this far already- it would be cruel to leave your best friend hanging.
“I would do it again. Sober, I mean. I love you.”
You stare up at him, and he stares back at you. His eyes are broken like shattered glass, and when he sees you in his cracked lenses, the tears beginning to well up in your eyes could almost be glue.
It’s true. You actually love him, and it wasn’t just a stupid drunken confession. You didn’t latch on to the first friendly face you saw. You love him, of all people. Him. Patrick.
“You do?” His voice is quiet and just a little hoarse. His mind is reeling. Your words play like a mantra in his head, repeating over and over until the word “love” sounds like a made-up sound meant to rhyme with “dove” in a children’s novel. “Why?”
He isn’t deserving of it, he thinks. He could never deserve a love as great, as gentle, as beautiful as yours. He always assumed he would love in hellfire and smashed plates. Never once did he consider that you loved him back, and that he could have someone as good as the person staring back at him with messy hair and soft eyes.
You tilt your head. Why? He should know why by now. “I mean, what isn’t to love? You say it all the time.” He looks terrified and elated all at once.
“Well, yeah, but why?” He moves closer to you, his weight causing your bed to dip. The sheets wrinkle under his touch and the sunlight is bleeding through his hair. You have never seen anything more beautiful before.
“I love you because you’re funny. Not just in the class clown way, but you’re really genuinely funny. You always make me laugh every time I’m having a bad day. And you’re caring and strong and supportive. I mean, I’m pretty sure you were the one that took me home last night. You care about everyone a lot more than you seem to think. You’re talented, too, and really smart.” He snorts at that, and you add on. “Yeah, I know, you skip classes and stuff but you catch onto things quickly. And you’re good at figuring out how to work my appliances, which can come in handy.” You take a breath. “What I’m trying to say, Pat, is that I really do like you. In a serious, genuine, love-filled way.”
You feel the ramble lifting an incredible weight off your shoulders. You got it out, after so long of loving the boy that grew to be your best friend. It’s done. Even if he doesn’t love you back, at least you’re not carrying this intense, heartbreaking burden.
Patrick opens his mouth slightly, then closes it as he thinks about his words.
“That’s good.”
You feel it all coming back down to crush you.
“Good?”
“Yeah, good. ‘Cuz I love you too.”
And suddenly, you’re flying. It barely feels real, and you smile harder than you ever have in your entire life. “You do?”
You feel his rough hands come up to settle on your face, and you relish the warmth. He’s so close you can feel his breath fanning over your nose.
“Of course I do. You’re a catch.” He says. You laugh, he smiles, and he leans in further. You feel his slightly chapped lips on yours, and suddenly, nothing else in the world has any significance.
It’s gentle and soft, despite his rough edges. You can feel his curls tickling your chin, and he smiles into the kiss. When he pulls away, you’re left with the tingling sensation of touch and a heart that’s beating a mile a minute.
“I liked that.” You grin, breathless and wild. His cheeks are flushed.
“You better get used to it, then. There’s more where ‘that’ came from.” His thumb draws circles on your cheek.
He dips to the side, tilting his head to whisper something into your ear.
“Unless, of course, you actually do regret it.”
The corners of your mouth lift up involuntarily as you whisper something into his.
“Like I said, I would do it again.”

patrick verona would def save u from “fabio” harrassing u. Can’t help but aid a pretty girl in trouble. 😉
YES OMG. he sees joey talking to you and notices the discomfort on your face, and he sees it get even worse when joey tries to put his arm around you. patrick’s had a crush on you for a while, and he can’t help the anger that boils inside of him at the sight of joey messing with you.
he comes over and taps joey on the shoulder, causing him to jump. “what’s your problem?!”
“i see you picking on my girl, and i want it to stop.”
you shoot him a confused look, and he just nods in gesture for you to play along. you realize he’s trying to help you and let him put his arm around your shoulder protectively.
“your girl?” joey scoffs.
“yeah. my girl.” patrick stares him down, and joey finally relents and walks away grumbling.
patrick removes his arm from your shoulder and asks if you’re okay, and you tell him you’re fine and think him for helping you.
“it’s nothing- i’m not gonna stand by and let a pretty girl get harassed.”
you blush and bite down a smile- patrick verona just called you pretty? he offers to buy you coffee and you accept. he seems scary but he’s really just a big ol’ sweetheart, isn’t he?
SORRY SKDJSKDJSK THIS LOW KEY TURNED INTO A FIC 😭😭 i love patrick veronaaaaa </33

Love Potion.
pairing: Patrick Verona x Reader
word count: 801 (less is more with this one)
warnings: angst
summary: Reader reflects on their almost-marriage to Patrick Verona years after it’s all been said and done. 
author’s note: Yes, I wrote another sad fic. I’ve had this in my head since last October. Based on a song...guess which one. 
Unedited.
Tumblr media
A lot could be said for all the sleepless nights, the grieving in slow-motion and the oblivion that followed, if you weren’t too exhausted to do so. For the last several years, you’d retreated from the world, hidden in plain sight, as it were, and you found solitude in the mundane. An average life for an average soul and that sentiment only bothered you as much as you were willing to admit.
You didn’t know what Patrick was doing now or if he had moved on. You hardly thought about him these days. Much had changed now that the two of you had grown up and apart; you were adults now and the impulses of youth that shrouded your past relationship had faded with time. The wounds were only so deep, but if you pick at a scab, it’s bound to open and that was the last thing you wanted.
You couldn’t say why he was on your mind. Something had reminded you of him, you were certain. Perhaps a whiff of peppermint had wafted into your nostrils and suddenly you were five years younger, sitting on the school bleachers next to your high school sweetheart, Patrick Verona, who was sucking on a peppermint candy he pulled out of his jeans pocket. He always used to carry them around with him. “It hides the smell of the cigarette smoke” he told you then in that thick, velveted Australian accent of his that always settled into the pit of your stomach just right.
He was like Christmas.
Senior year was rough on you both. You went off to college and Patrick got a technical degree to become a mechanic. He liked cars and was good with his hands. He made decent money and the hours weren’t the worst he’d ever had. He liked to work and it kept his mind off the fact that you weren’t there.
That must have been culprit. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, except when you’re two young adults trying to figure out the rest of your lives and where you fit in the other’s story.
Patrick was an impulsive young man. He made snap-decisions, but he had to live with them after and that was trouble. You loved his half-baked ideas, when he would beg you to skip class with him during fifth period so he could take you to the mall or the park. It was a lot easier to date Patrick when there were no strings attached. You had your whole lives ahead of you, why settle for a smaller picture?
You loved him. If you hadn’t known it then, you did now.
Why hadn’t you told him so more often?
Whatever the reason, it didn’t matter. You had said it enough times to convince him to propose.
At the time, the worst things you could think of were losing your job, failing an exam, never reaching your goals. You never stopped to think about how much worse it would be to have to put a wedding ring on your finger.
You didn’t have the time to devote to a full-time marriage. You had spent your whole life striving to reach the point where you could be fully independent, and you were ready to take the moment and taste it; there must be another way.
Who gave you the right to break his heart?
Patrick was too nice. He did things just for you, he built his life around the promise of a future with you, but when you asked for it, he gave you your freedom just the same and you craved the hurt it brought.
Patrick was sunshine, but you felt more comfortable in the dark.
You wanted the pain the came with a clean break and you wouldn’t have been able to cut him off any other way.
You had changed after high school; your lover stayed the same.
You had led him on and that was your fault. It didn’t have to end this way, but sometimes you just don’t know the answer until someone asks the question and you wished you had been more prepared for the fallout.
At least now you were unbound.
You wondered if he ever thought of you and the answer came, years later. It was a postcard and Christmas never looked so good.
He had a family and that was what was supposed to happen, only it would’ve been your arm around him, your lips on his cheek and your children wearing big smiles and even bigger holiday sweaters.
From all appearances, your Patrick, ‘Peppermint’ you remember you used to call him, had moved on.
He still thought of you when it mattered and it always had to him.
And life went on.
You never thought of him again, except on nights like this.

Patrick Verona in a cg!headspace headcanons:
He could be doing anything at all, but the moment he sees something reminding him of his little one his mind begins to wander
His brain keeps bringing up ideas and he starts getting that fuzzy feelings
When Patrick puts something into his head, he won't stop until it's perfect
Saw an interesting snack/meal idea for his little? He's already adapting the recipe to fit his baby's desires.
A new activity pops into his head? He has an itinerary and time set out for it to work on both their schedules.
One of his darling's favorite toys or gear went up for sale? He's got premium shipping to make sure they can get it sooner.
Patrick can/will still act like a caregiver even when his love isn't in littlespace
It's usually unintentional for him to act like a caregiver, but sometimes he really wants to just baby and care for someone.
Will constantly check in and show them affection like he usually would.
"Knock knock! I'm just checking in on you, angel. I brought you a drink and a snack. What? I'm just watching out for my darling. You've been working all day, don't you want to relax a bit? Maybe we can color in one of your books while watching something nice? Okay, I'll let you get back to it. But you better be giving my little one rest when they need it!"
Sooner or later, he helps them slip into little space properly. And he's a man of his word, so they'll do everything he said they would.
