Hello! Thank you for being my first requester, I hope this lives up to any expectations you may have had. I wasn't sure what to do for the soulmate symbols/marks, so I used a leaf, hope that's okay!

Eddie Munson x fem! Harrington! reader

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down! Slow down guys!” Nancy exclaims suddenly, making you jump. The paddle in your grasp suddenly slips out, falling into the lake as you scramble to get it back.

“Ha.” Eddie snickers, watching your attempts to reach the paddle with a shit eating grin on his face.

Hissing at the male under your breath, you grab the paddle and pull it back, placing it down inside of the boat as you turn your attention to Nancy who was staring at the compas in her grasp very intensely.

“What’s up, Nance?” You ask, trying to resist the urge to whack the hellfire leader beside you. It just felt too tempting, he was right there!

“Whoa...” Steve comments as he joins Nancy in intensely staring at the compass.

“Guys, what’s going on?” Dustin’s voice cuts through the silence that had befallen the boat, startling Robin who frantically scrambled for the walkie-talkie.

“Come on guys, talk to me.” He continues.

“Uh, Dustin, your-your compass has gone from wonky to wonky with a capital ‘aah!’” Robin replies, her eyes still focused on the compass as it spun wildly out of control.

“Steve, what are you doing?” Nancy’s voice snapped your attention away from the compass and towards your dumbass of a brother.

“Ay, Steve, what are you doing? Put your feet away.” You comment, frowning at your brother as he removed his shoes.

He only throws a disappointed stare your way as he continues stripping himself of his shoes and socks.

“Somebody’s gotta go down and check this thing out. Unless one of you four can top being a Hawkins high swim co-captain and a certified lifeguard for three years, then... It’s gotta be me. No complaints, alright?”

You open your mouth to object but Steve just throws his sock at you.

“Aside from you, (Y/N).”

“Ew.”

“Hey, I’m not complaining. I do not wanna go down there.” Eddie murmured as he peered over the side of the boat, staring into the dark waters below.

Noticing this, you silently moved a hand behind him and gave his back a hard shove, making the brunette jump out of his skin and latch his hands onto the side of the boat. His head snapped around to look at you, eyes wide as you cackled away.

“You-you...” Eddie grumbled the rest under his breath as he crossed his arms and slouched, shuffling away from you as much as he could.

Your attention is drawn back to Steve as he abruptly stands up and begins removing his shirt, much to your dismay. You couldn’t help but notice how hairy your brother actually was and decided to use this to annoy him. Lovingly, of course.

“Wow, Donkey Kong has some competition. Good on ya, Steve.” You mock.

“Oh, shut it.” Steve fires back, not enjoying your current sense of humour.

Loud rustling sounds come from Eddie as he pulls a plastic carrier bag out of his pocket and begins wrapping up one of the various torches on board, ready for Steve to dive down with. You would have thought it sweet if your thoughts weren’t leaning more towards why he had a bag in his pocket in the first place.

“Hey.” Eddie calls out as he hands the torch over. “Good luck.”

“Thanks.” Is all your brother say’s.

“Steve!” You suddenly call out, drawing his attention back to you. “If you aren’t back up in two minutes flat then I am coming down for you, okay?”

Steve opens his mouth to argue but seeing the look on your face, he decides against it.

He just nods in understanding before placing his foot on the edge of the boat, readying himself to dive. You may act like little shits towards one another at the best of times, but at the end of the day he is your brother and you’ll always worry for him.

“Steve, be careful.” Nancy added, offering him a wary smile. Just as he did for you, he offers her a nod and then dives in, not giving anyone else a chance to say anything.

As soon as you see his feet vanish under the water, you begin a mental countdown.

You, Robin, Eddie and Nancy all sit in silence aboard the boat, waiting for something to happen. You sneak occasional glances over at the shore to see how the kids are doing, and from what you can tell they are fine. They haven’t radioed to signal that anything is wrong, nor have they used a torch to get your attention or started screaming like mad men, so that’s a good sign.

“Where we at, Wheeler, Harrington?” Robin pipes up, breaking the silence.

Nancy speaks before you do. “Closing in on a minute.”

Silence resumes on the boat as you start removing your shoes. Eddie was the first to notice this.

“Whoa, whoa, what are you doing??” This catches the other’s attention.

“Getting ready if we hit two minutes.” You state, continuing to remove your socks.

“It’s not been two minutes yet, (Y/N)” Nancy comments, checking the watch on her wrist. “In fact, it’s just over a minute.”

You hum, leaning forwards to remove your jacket from your body.

“It’s better to be ready early than ready late.” You state.

You were kind of glad that you had worn shorts even though your legs ended up getting cold a little while ago – it meant that there wouldn’t be as much waterlog to deal with when swimming.

“Yes, but I didn’t know you were being serious!” Eddie admits.

“What, you think I was bluffing? That I wouldn’t go down after him? I have the same lifeguard qualifications as him, I know what I’m doing. Don't underestimate me.” You hiss.

Eddie’s mouth opens and closes repeatedly like a gaping fish, completely at a loss for words.

Silence is once again the filler for the boat as the four of you sit there quietly. Robin tries to ease the awkward tension by bringing up soulmates.

“So uh... anyone found their soulmate yet?”

Multiple “no’s” fill the boat and just like that, the silence is back.

“Nance.” You call. “Where are we at?”

The female in question looks down at her watch for a couple of seconds before looking back up at you.

“Roughly fifteen seconds left.”

“Alrighty then.” You comment as you grasp the hem of your tee, preparing to pull it over your head when spontaneously loud splashing snaps all of your attention towards it.

“OH CHRIST!” Eddie screams, clearly startled. You pay him no mind and instead focus on the male who was currently treading water while taking deep breaths.

“I found it!” He pants.

“You found it?” Nancy repeated, scrambling towards the edge of the boat where Steve was.

“I found it. Yeah. I found it.” He confirms, swimming towards the boat.

Robin lifts the walkie-talkie to her mouth and begins speaking to Dustin.

“Dustin, you are a goddamn Einstein. Steve found the gate and-” Robin stops abruptly after hearing what sounded like a siren ashore. You make eye contact with her and you both realise something is up.

“It’s pretty wild, it’s more a snack-sized gate than the mama gate, but still, it’s pretty damn big.” He chuckles, only to abruptly stop when he suddenly vanishes underwater, only to reappear. He goes quiet as he makes eye contact with you before turning his attention back to the water. He stares at it for a few seconds before looking back up at you.

With that, he once again vanishes, seemingly dragged down by something as his arms flail about wildly, water being kicked up everywhere.

“STEVE!” You cry, standing up and ripping your tee off, leaving you in your bra and shorts, before diving straight into the water, not waiting a second longer to swim after your brother.

A sudden wave of cold covers your body as you begin your descent down, eyes straining through the darkness of the water. You could faintly see some bubbles, so you followed them as closely as you possibly could. The sound of something splashing above you threw you off for a moment, but you had a feeling it was Nancy or Robin coming down behind you so you paid it no further mind. Soon enough, you could see a large red light towards the lake floor and your brother being dragged through it. Panic filled your core as you began swimming faster than you thought you could, the only thought on your mind to reach your brother.

You had arrived in the upside-down only a matter of seconds after your brother and were the first to come to his aid, stabbing at the demobats that were attacking him with a small commando knife you had tucked away in the waistband of your shorts. Unfortunately, within the span of time from you arriving to the other three arriving, you had been given a nasty bite on your right ribs by a demobat, but it was quickly removed when you had plunged your knife right through its skull and ripped it off.

At the moment you were all hiding out underneath a rock in a woodland to avoid getting mauled to death by a huge swarm of the bats that were still flying around manically trying to find the five of you.

Robin was currently talking to your brother about rabies, Nancy was tending to his injuries and Eddie was climbing a rock. You shivered as you sat a little way away from the group, holding a bandana that you had in your shorts up to your ribs as you waited for Nancy to finish up. Pulling it away, you could see how the navy bandana was a few shades darker, the white patterns stained red. You hiss lightly and place it back where it was sat beforehand.

Eddie started making his descent down from the rock as the rest of the group were talking about weapons, not that you paid much mind at this moment though. You were cold, in pain and sore.

“-I have guns in my bedroom.” Whatever Nancy had been talking about, you’d only clocked onto the tail end of it.

There was a pause before Eddie spoke up. “You, Nancy Wheeler, have guns, plural, in your bedroom?”

Nancy just smiled as you giggled lightly.

“Full of surprises, isn’t she?” Robin jokes, a big grin on her face as she spoke.

“A Russian Makarov and a revolver.” Nancy confirms.

“Yeah, you almost shot me with that one.” Steve added. “(Y/N) too.”

Eddie just stares at Steve, unblinking. “Your sister and girlfriend-ex-whatever, nearly shot you?” He checks.

Steve nods.

Hearing your name, you stand up slowly with a groan and walk over to the group.

“I heard my name.” You say, looking between everyone.

“Yeah, you- Oh my god! You’re bleeding!! What happened?? Where is your shirt!? WHY ARE YOU IN YOUR BRA?!” Steve had only just noticed your lack of clothing and the wound on your ribs, much to your surprise. How had he not realised that sooner?

Eddie, only now registering the same thing, adverts his eyes away from your half naked form for your decency.

“... Steve, how have you only just noticed? I’ve been in my bra since I jumped into the lake after you. Idiot. And I got bit by a bat, but it’s nothing major.” You reassure.

Nancy takes the bandana that you had pressed against your ribs away and examines your wound. After some inspecting, she straightens the bandana out and folds it over to tie around your ribs. Unfortunately, the bandana cut short, meaning it wouldn’t tie around your ribs. Nancy searched her brain for other ideas when Eddie stepped forward, still keeping his eyes adverted as best as he could.

“I uh, use mine. To tie with the other, I mean.” He says, holding his bandana out.

Nancy thanks him and begins tying the two together before tying them around your ribs.

Steve opened his mouth to speak, only to be cut off when Eddie’s denim jacket was thrown at him.

“For your modesty, dude.”

Once Nancy had secured the bandana-bandage around your ribs, she stepped back and stood next to Steve. She was about to speak when a sudden rumbling and shaking shook the place, making you tumble backwards. You placed your hand over your head, bracing for the impact of falling over, only to feel someone pull you into their chest, their arm around your waist holding you securely. You placed your hand on the persons arm, trying to brace yourself against them. Almost as soon as the shaking started, it stopped. A second passed in which no one moved, just taking a moment to process what had just happened. You glance down at arm around your waist and see the leather sleeve and ringed hand holding you firmly. Looking up, you meet the brown eyes of Eddie staring right back at you.

“I-uh... thank you.” You awkwardly look away, not really knowing what to say.

“Don’t you be getting all handsy on my sister, Munson. I can see you.” Steve warned, Nancy being held in his own hold. You groan at that.

“Yeah, yeah, whatever man.” He released you from his hold and you step forwards, looking over to Robin who was currently sat on her butt.

“You okay Robin?” You call over to her. She just groans and gives a thumbs up in response.

The loud, drawn-out roaring of something in the distance caught everyone’s attention and shook you to the bone. That did not sound friendly.

“Yeah, so guns sound like a good idea to me.” The metalhead comments, being backed up by Robin.

“So, what are we waiting for?” Steve asks, letting go of Nancy.

“Just hold on a minute.” Eddie says, sliding off his leather jacket. Once it was off of him, he stepped over to where you currently stood, lightly chatting and helping Robin back up.

“Hey.” He calls, holding the jacket out to you.

“Huh- oh, um, thank you.” You say, taking the jacket off of him and sliding it on. It was nice and warm inside from him wearing it just moments before. You grab the zip at the bottom and try doing it up, only to struggle. After a few attempts you give up and just wrap the front around yourself. Eddie, noticing this, points at the zip of the jacket.

“May I?” He asks.

“Yes.” You release the jacket and watch as the brunette bends down slightly, grasping either side of the jacket. He starts doing the zip up, only to freeze in place, his attention caught on something. You assume he’s looking at the bandana around your ribs, so you apologise for it.

“Sorry it’s getting ruined, I’ll make sure to clean it as best as I can once we are back, or I’ll just get you a new one, promise.”

You wait for him to reply, but he doesn’t, he just remains quiet.

“Eddie?” You call.

“Show me your hip.” He blurts, lifting up the jacket on the right side to view your hip better.

“W-what? Why?!” You gasp, ripping the jacket out of his grasp and stepping back, not expecting him to say that.

“Just- your soulmate mark, I saw it, show me it again.” He whispers.

Going along with it, you warily move the leather out of the way and pull the waist of your shorts down slightly, revealing your soulmate mark on your hip. It was a light brown leaf of sorts, thin but long, simple and yet pretty. It’s not very noticeable unless you go searching for it, it blends in just nicely. You look at Eddie’s face and see him staring at the mark with wide eyes.

“What? Do you know someone with the same mark?” You questioned, eyes drifting towards your own mark.

“Of course, I do!” Eddie states, releasing the jacket and standing upright abruptly, making you jump. A small smile is on his face as his hand shoots to his hellfire tee and lifts up the right side of it, revealing the same mark on his hip as the one on yours.

“Wh-I... you’re my...”

“Soulmate.” He finishes, releasing his tee, and letting it drop back down.

He holds a hand out for you to shake, the smile still on his face.

“Why don’t we try and start over? On civil terms?” He offers.

A smile of your own winds its way onto your cheeks as you take his hand, giving it a firm but gentle shake.

“Of course, soulmate.”
