Louis Unreliable Narrator Rant
It rly does piss me off bc some ppl with 100 percent sincerity refer to Louis as “a liar”.
What does Louis ever lie about???
(besides armand/rashid but a. obvs that was an armand decision since armand is The Canonical Liar even though ppl don’t always act like it for some reason, and b. that doesn't concern Louis's veracity in telling the story of his past cuz armand/rashid is in the present)
Anything Louis gets “wrong” about his story are details he’s suppressed due to trauma/misremembered/or interpreted differently from others ("lestat") due to his state of mind. None of these things are lying. Unreliable narrator does not mean LIAR bc thats not how stories work. MEMORY IS A MONSTER is the tagline of his story. MEMORY IS A MONSTER - You FORGET, it doesn't. Not "MEMORY MAKES YOU LIE ABOUT THINGS" or "LYING IS A MONSTER" or "LOUIS LIES A LOT AND LOVES IT BC HE'S A MONSTER"!
~Louis' more prominent discrepancies:~
-Was it raining: He doesn't remember. Not a lie
-Claudia's reaction after Lestat's "death": Louis is demonstrably traumatized by the attempt to kill Lestat and has repressed some of the aftermath of that night due to that trauma. He literally doesn't remember Claudia's objections/choking her. When Daniel points out that she sounds upset with him in her diaries, those memories come flooding back - as we see in little jarring bits of flashback. Those jarring flashbacks are Louis REMEMBERING WHAT HAPPENED. If Louis was purposefully "lying" those flashbacks wouldn't resurface in that way: the show is (very effectively) presenting that information in the same way you would be confronted with a traumatic memory. Louis is visibly rattled by this and has to run and kneel in his traumagarden to process this bc HE LITERALLY HASNT PROCESSED IT BC HES BEEN REPRESSING IT FOR 80 YEARS Not a lie
-Could Claudia dream or not: She wrote in her diary that she couldn't and he believed her. Not a lie
Then the trial flashbacks
(For the sake of argument I’ll assume "Lestat’s" versions of events we see flashbacks of in the trial are more accurate depictions than Louis’ original descriptions bc that is essentially the way they are framed and Louis tells Daniel to use that version in the book)
ALTHOUGH IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE: THESE ARE ALSO A PART OF LOUIS’ DESCRIPTION OF EVENTS!!!! Lestat is not present at the interview, Louis is. Lestat is not turning to the camera and breaking the fourth wall to tell us his version; Louis says that as Lestat spoke he felt transported back to those events and was seeing them differently. That's why we see them in flashback. We cannot have a true flashback from Lestat's perspective in s1-2 bc Lestat is not here to tell his story (and it would break the entire structure of the show). Any flashback we see is Louis' recounting. In the case of the trial, Louis is literally recounting Lestat recounting a version of events that Louis is then recalling and processing with added context (this show is a mindfuck).
So even the more “”TRUE”” version ppl like to use as evidence of Louis’s “”lies”” is also coming from Louis!!!!! Louis is the one correcting his own account!!!
The show is built around Louis telling Daniel/the audience his story. Anything we see of the past storyline (New Orleans-Paris) comes from Louis's mouth or Claudia's diaries (and sometimes Armand). Lestat is not a part of any of this. People who frame Lestat is some truth-teller revealing the "REAL story" behind Louis's "lies" is forgetting that Lestat is not part of the interview. Any ""truth"" Lestat tells is coming from LOUIS.
Some quotes from 207 bc I don't have a disc drive on my macbook to screenshot my blu-ray lol
This is our transition into the first nola flashback
<Armand: Lestat stood on that stage, took all the familiar pieces of Louis's life, defiled them, bent them into a Lestat-shaped effigy.>
(Including this to show that even though Armand is co-narrating this part of the story, Armand was ready to discount everything Lestat said. He frames Lestat as taking 'familiar pieces of Louis's life' aka the events as Louis recalls them, and 'defiling and bending them' aka changing/misrepresenting them to make Lestat look better. Any representation of "Lestat's perspective" being valid/"true" is coming from Louis's mouth)
<Louis: But some...Some of it now...
Daniel: What?
Louis: I remember...being out of my body at the time. I was in Paris, but also in New Orleans. Lestat took me there.>
The flashback is Louis remembering things differently, not Lestat's own memory.
-Claudia's turning: Louis's and "Lestat's" account actually don't differ that much. Lestat has a few extra lines of dialogue and is more emotional, Louis tries to turn Claudia himself and begs more profusely, but the basic events are the same. Louis brings Claudia in as she is dying, begs Lestat to turn her and Lestat does it. Louis was near hysterical in this moment so he didn't recall it with complete accuracy. Not a lie!
<Lestat: But he was in a terrible panic. Guilt had seized reason. Claudia on the ledge of death.>
...
<Louis (at the trial, to Claudia and the audience, looking visibly confused): It's not how it happened.
Louis (in Dubai): It is how it happened. I didn't think it at the time. But...yeah.>
As Louis realizes he misremembered events, he corrects himself. We see him do this several times over the series. We also see him insist he wants to get "every detail right" and "wants to remember". Where are people seeing a lying liar who delights in lies???? The whole purpose of the interview is "truth and reconciliation"?????????
-Coffin room exchange: This is one of the most traumatic events in the series/Louis's life so I think it goes without saying that he wouldn't be able to recall it with complete accuracy BUT ALSO!! We see the domestic abuse in 105 recounted from Claudia's perspective. We go from Louis narrating Claudia's diary entry about realizing she was made to be Louis's sister, to her returning home and the ensuing violence as it was witnessed through her eyes. She can hear snippets of an argument but was not privy to what happened in the coffin room. The only part of this that is from Louis's recollection is when Lestat takes Louis into the sky, and we return to Claudia's perspective after Louis is dropped.
The coffin room exchange was omitted in Louis's original telling because it isn't in Claudia's diary entry. If you think about it in-universe, Louis is reading Claudia's diary to Daniel describing the violence breaking out - then they go into the coffin room, Claudia is slumped on the floor outside the room trying to catch her breath, and then Lestat bursts through the wall with Louis - when Claudia watches Louis taken into the sky, Louis would naturally feel the need to fill the gap of 'what happened' before he plummeted to the ground, bc Claudia is certainly wondering what happened in her diary entry. It wouldn't necessarily make sense for Louis to interject over Claudia's entry (describing her feelings at hearing them through the wall, being convinced the violence was over and attempting to recover and then her fear at seeing violence break out again) to say "hey also me and Lestat exchanged words in the coffin room", there just isn't a natural narrative gap there like there would be for Louis/Lestat vanishing into the sky.
But I think more likely Louis doesn't remember the coffin room exchange BECAUSE we see a flashback of it in 207 and as I've established, these flashbacks are Louis remembering things. They are not a direct line to Lestat's memories, because Lestat is not in the interview to recount his own memories, and even a memory he recounts during the trial is being recalled by Louis in the Dubai present. Outside of Claudia's diaries, we only ever have access to Louis's memories of things (barring 205). There is a clear slant towards Lestat's POV in the coffin room memory, so I think it's safe to assume it's Louis recalling the memory as Lestat presents it during the trial. Part of why I think this is the basic framing, but also there are a couple lines of dialogue from Claudia's POV in 105 that we don't hear in 207 specifically when she is sitting outside the coffin room:
this part we hear in both POVs
<Louis: It's okay. We're done. It's over. Stay where you are, okay?>
this part we only hear in Claudia's POV
<Louis: We had it out*. We just...[coughing] need a moment here. [coughs] Just...[gasps]>
The second dialogue time-wise lines up with a moment in Lestat's 207 POV when Lestat is panting on the ground and sitting up for a few seconds and all we hear is silence before he says "You're gonna leave me." The show could have had Louis's second dialogue here muffled or in the background or something but it omits Louis's words entirely to show that this is Louis's recollection of Lestat's remembered version of events, and is not entirely "accurate" either. Why would Lestat focus on/acknowledge Louis comforting Claudia in this moment, when he is thinking about Louis leaving him? He wasn't thinking about that, and his POV reflects that. I don't think the show forgot these extra lines or something, cuz they have the script and easily could have inserted them in the space where Lestat is silent but they did not. A deliberate choice to show Lestat's account is not the omnipotent "truthful" account, but is just one perspective.
(We also know that the coffin room exchange was included in the trial script to make Louis less sympathetic to the audience, because when Lestat says "I am burdened with my maker's temper" Santiago corrects him back on course by saying "Uh, no. You were teased until you toppled." The coven wanted this exchange in the trial script to frame Lestat's drop as an escalation brought on by Louis aka to victim-blame him and make Lestat look less culpable. So even if this is "truth" it is being presented with bias)
Also it is interesting that we get no reaction shots/commentary from Dubai Louis during this entire part. We see Paris Louis once before the "You're gonna leave me" starts and he's shaking and looking confused as Lestat speaks, but there is no assertion on Louis's part of "this is how it happened" or not the way he did with Claudia's turning. We don't even get a shot of Dubai Louis again until after Lestat goes off script to take accountability for the violence.
It actually looks like Armand was the one narrating this entire part to Daniel (Lestat's account of the violence-the coffin room exchange-the apology) because the next time we cut back to Dubai, when Armand tells Daniel that the projections went off-sync, Daniel is already sitting facing Armand and Louis is sitting silently with his hands in front of his mouth. It looks like Dubai Louis hasn't spoken at all since he told Daniel to go with Lestat's version of Claudia's turning. He doesn't speak again until Daniel asks him what he thought of Lestat's apology.
I'm not totally sure what to make of Louis's silence here...because I don't think Lestat fabricated the coffin room exchange. I think because this comes on the heels of "You should go with Lestat's version" of the other flashback we see, this is another instance of Louis going oh, okay I guess it happened like that, you can put that in the book too. But it is a more significant departure from what we were previously shown than Claudia's turning, so idk why they don't have Louis comment on it at all. Either way, Louis doesn't object to what Lestat is saying, which is at least a passive acknowledgement of the events as he presents them as reflected upon by Louis after the fact so NOT A LIE!
Anyway Louis has basically never lied in his entire life so I'm gonna need ppl to stop calling him a liar :)))) it would also completely undercut the main fucking theme of the first two seasons for Louis to be characterized as a ~~~~liar~~~ vs. a person who is being Monstered by Memories so if you call Louis a liar you are calling Rolin Jones a liar and I'm gonna tattle on you to Sir Jones so he won't let you watch the show anymore <3
*netflix subtitles this as "we had enough" but that doesn't sound like what he's saying to me and the netflix subs match the AMC subs which are notoriously inaccurate so!
#iwtv meta#??? kinda mostly just me yelling#also hate when ppl say stuff like Louis “lied” by never mentioning lestat being nice?? when yes he literally did?#if you think lestat was nice sometimes its bc you saw lestat be nice in the show...the show narrated by louis....#im thinking specifically of lestat comforting louis in 102 and being all cute when he had tuxedos made#like do u get that is louis telling daniel about a time lestat was nice??? how many times do we hear HE HAD A WAY ABOUT HIM#the talamasca does not have a drone camera in the past filming louis in 1911 Everything we see is something louis is telling us!!#i know a lot of ppl have this perception of liar louis from the books but thats bs#bc for one anne rice didnt write that first book planning to retcon it all later so as of book 1 everything louis says is true until it isn#AND FOR TWO.....when you actually read lestat's “corrections” of louis's “lies” none of them are actually louis lying????#lestat says “he lied” and everything he uses as evidence is “louis didn't know the truth”. you cant lie about something you dont know??#its all louis didnt know i was secretly rich cuz i didnt tell him. louis didnt know i only killed bad ppl bc i didnt tell him#the ONLY thing book lestat points to book louis as being misleading (by omission) is that sometimes louis begged him not to leave him#and sometimes they hung out with claudia and danced#ooooo king of lies book louis!! sometimes his abusive ex was nice to him!!! AND HE DIDNT MENTION IT AT ALL#but even those things wouldnt be lies if they applied them to the show bc show louis has described lestat being nice#and louis has described his own love of lestat at great length#its almost like book louis and show louis are operating differently in two different narratives with different goals in mind#bc theyre different characters and you shouldnt conflate them bc then you would see neither of them clearly#ok im done now time to be normal again <3

A Measured Response: A Measured Response
Above please find the video I'm responding to, "A Measured Response" by James Somerton. If he deletes later (and I suspect he may), I will reblog with an embed of a copy of the video.
Also note: Much of this is taken from comments I made on his video. But I believe he may be deleting them. Or I got caught up in the spam filter because I commented more than once out of sheer frustration with what I was hearing.
James,
Okay, I am going to start off with a couple things I will give you credit for:
1) Acknowledging the shitty effect nuking your channel had on Nick's career and prospects. That's actually something that hasn't been discussed much and it is genuinely good of you to volunteer that to your audience. As someone who once had her own portfolio nuked by former partners, that's a good thing to bring up. No notes there. That was a good move.
2) You actually used the word 'plagiarism' this time.
I would also like to say that I am glad that you are safe and I am glad you are still alive.
I'm hearing lots about insurance, and your mental health struggles, and the move YOU chose to make "disrupting everything" and your mom's death, "not citing things correctly", how ADHD apparently made you plagiarize, and how hard things are for you. And how people harassed and doxxed you. How you totally want to prove yourself!
Here's what I'm not hearing about:
1) The harassment campaign you launched against your accusers that literally caused them to go into hiding. Sorry, but you don't get sympathy points about death threats and doxing without at least expressing remorse when you did that to others. You haven't mentioned it once. you also falsely accused OTHERS of sending harassment your way and have not acknowledged it.
2) The multiple transphobic and misogynistic lies you told.
3) The tangible impact of queer erasure YOU ENGAGED IN. You barely mention any of the people you stole from. Believe it or not, James, but those people? They also had lives, and jobs, and obligations. Some of them also had dead parents. Then there are the queer people you erased the identities of, slandered, and insulted. Becky Abertelli had to deal with YEARS of the same sort of harassment you're complaining about because of people calling her straight. And even after she was FORCED OUT OF THE CLOSET, you perpetuated that lie again. And yes, YOU DID, JAMES. PUTTING HER IN THE 'STRAIGHT AUTHORS' CATEGORY IS CALLING HER STRAIGHT, JAMES. THAT'S HOW CATEGORIES WORK. Then when she briefly corrected you, you lied about her repeatedly and inserted nasty little vague comments about her so that you could bait your audience into asking about it and claim she harassed you on twitter for not liking her show (which never happened once. She didnt even bring up you straight-washing her on twitter. It was in your comments section.). So not only did you lie, you went out of your way to create opportunities to lie about her more.
4) The outright dangerous rhetoric you engaged in. Such as:
a) You lied about the AIDS epidemic and generations of actual queer activists who you claimed didn't care about employment discrimination and just wanted to have "big gay weddings" because they were "boring. This is a false and dangerous retelling of queer history, not only isolating new generations of queer people, but also erasing the tangible benefits of the legal benefits you enjoy now, James. THEY WANTED MARRIAGE SO THEY COULD HOLD THEIR DYING LOVERS' HANDS AS THEY PASSED AND ATTEND THEIR FUNERALS, JAMES. THEY WANTED MARRIAGE SO THEY WEREN'T KICKED OUT OF THEIR HOMES AND STRIPPED OF BENEFITS DURING A HEALTH PANDEMIC, JAMES. THEY DID FIGHT FOR EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS, JAMES. THAT'S HOW SEXUALITY BECAME A PROTECTED CLASS. Lying about and downplaying the legal rights these valiant "boring" people fought for misleads current generations of queer people into caring less about their history, the people who have done the most for them, and protecting the legal rights so desperately won.
b) All the gay Nazi shit. I feel like I shouldn't have to explain why inventing facts about all the Nazi secret police and youth counselors being gay and extorting people for sex under the Reich is so insanely dangerous and disgusting, but here's a hint: it casts your own community as being the vile, perverted criminals that THE ACTUAL PEOPLE WHO WANT YOU DEAD (you know, homophobes? Not people on the internet who noticed you plagiarized the Celluloid Closet) perpetuate in order to sell their draconian policies to the masses.
c) all the misogyny. I get it, you want to erase the discrimination against women (and people you claim are women) have faced, especially as queer women. You wanted to pretend Radcliffe Hall was allowed to "carry on with her happy little life." You wanted your audience to believe that. You wanted your audience to shit on women for moral panics you made up. You wanted to erase the queer identity of a woman who had already been through Hell and then pass it off as justified. With the rising tied of renewed misogyny,, incel attacks, and reproductive rights being stripped from us, you really, really wanted to sell the message of women being whiny, jealous bitches who get handed everything, never deal with consequences, and hate people for not liking their work. (TBH, it feels a bit like projection on your part) thank you for spreading so much incel rhetoric and transphobia and making your audience ignorant of the great contributions women have made to LGBTQIA history.
I'd respect you more if you would just own up to the obvious biases you clearly have.
That's not all, but my hands are getting tired.
5) That you were caught lying about the contents of Hbomb's video in your initial patreon response.
6) The worth of the people you stole from.
7) Using Nick's asexuality as an excuse for your acephobic AF bullshit about how ace people apparently never dealt with institutional oppression when they're the most likely to be sent to conversion camp and have had corrective rape used as a "treatment" throughout history. Like, holy shit, James.
8) How you tried to lay blame for your shitty, stolen work on your own audience because "you didn't wanrt to make them and they were patreon requests." You didn't have to keep video requests as a perk. Those people paid over $300 to you for those wids only for you to throw them under the bus.
9) Your complete refusal to update your Telos backers on anything besides announcing new projects that you were using to replace the projects you promised them. You could have gone on Patreon, Indiegogo, Twitter, or your channel, and explained things. Things like this happen. But instead you ghosted and gaslighted.
10) The shit you pulled about Nebula.
11) The shitsquillion dollars you spent on cameras you didn't need when you were also claiming to your patrons about being on the verge of homelessness.
"It's a documentary, no opinion just cited facts." James, you've cited "facts" like "15% of the Hitler Youth counselors were gay", "Radcliffe Hall didn't get punished for writing a book about lesbians", and "there was no fight against employment discrimination" as "facts."
Then there's the part where you're still insisting that the people who told you that you can't make a short film on 3K were wrong. You insist it's possible because you intended to use non-union labor. then two minutes later you admit a movie you put together ended up going way over-budget because you didn't realize how much things would cost.
So the Telos nay-sayers had a point, James. Why are you still acting like they were wrong. Do you just not want anyone to find Dan Olsen's tweets about your finances?
The fact that you think you have any business coming back when all you've ever managed are lies and theft is so hilariously conceited. I get it. You want to be able to "carry on with your happy little life" (the way Radcliffe Hall DIDN'T). You want to go back to being a big youtuber and for everyone to admire you once you manage to go a whole video without stealing from anyone. That's not how this works. You have no credibility. You have caused a huge amount of damage not just to your immediate audience, but also the queer community overall.
You hurt a lot more people than Jessie Gender, James.
"We weren't trying to lie about things." BULL FUCKING SHIT. YOU NOT ONLY LIED ABOUT BECKY ALBERTALLI MULTIPLE TIMES. YOU EVEN MADE AN INDIRECT DIG AT HER SO YOUR AUDIENCE WOULD ASK ABOUT IT SO YOU COULD LIE ABOUT YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH HER AS WELL. YOU LIED ABOUT WHO ACTUALLY WROTE YOUR VIDEOS. YOU LIED ABOUT YOUR CREDITS. YOU LIED ON PURPOSE. AND YOU LIED IN WAYS THAT HURT PEOPLE.
You also lie in your video saying "in the beginning, I thought it was enough to put people's names in the opening credits." No you didn't. You started using those opening credits well after the accusations came rolling in. You even admitted on twitter that in the beginning you weren't "citing my sources yet."
Do I believe much of your bullshit was pure laziness? Certainly. But there can be more than one reason for it. There's no way you knew who Radcliffe Hall was and actually thought she face no repercussions. No one who has ever heard of The Well of Loneliness DOESN'T know all the prints were destroyed. It being a lesbian book that was destroyed by the courts is THE STORY.
You lied when you said you didn't call Becky Albertalli straight. EVEN THOUGH YOU ADMIT TO PUTTING HER IN THE STRAIGHT CATEGORY.
You lied about your "adaptation" of Evil Queens and tinker Bells and the citation and schedule of when you got approval. You got approval after the fact and claiming you got it from the beginning. your own email screenshot proves it.
You lied saying the Evil Queens video was "a direct adaptation of the books" despite half the video being plagiarized from completely different works. You lied about your plagiarism accusations and HBomb's video rehashing old "debunked" accusations on Patreon. You lied about Alexander Avila. You lied about reading/watching a bunch of the media you were "critiquing." you lied about when you started with your opening credits.
These were ALL LIES YOU TOLD ON PURPOSE.
You don't "research", "write", shoot, edit, and post a video with shit like that in it and say it wasn't malicious or intentional. You put these videos out there with scores of lies, many of which were directed at various marginalized groups, and CHOSE to never check if anything you said was true. You don't invent entire fake moral panics "by accident." You don't plagiarize by accident.
Please don't spend forty minutes reciting excuses and then claim "these are not excuses." You're not fooling us.
Also - Leave your poor mother out of this. She already had to die of cancer. Let the poor woman rest.
But thank you for linking your new patreon and telling us all about your upcoming videos! I am glad you have your priorities straight. (that was sarcasm)
Just leave the internet, James. Not LIFE, OBVIOUSLY. Stay alive. But your time as a content creator is done. You have no viability in that area. The fact that you think you can just do this is equal parts entitled and delusional. That you think you can come back so soon makes it even worse. Tell you what: you can try again after it's verified that the people you stole from have been compensated and you properly apologize for everything else.
I will not believe you're truly sorry until you can actually apologize without caveats, excuses, and, yes, lies. Saying you're sorry for "not citing things correctly" is not apologizing for what you did. It's cushioning the actual facts and downplaying your transgression. You have not apologized for the misogyny, acephobia, or transphobia, which, yes, YOU DID. I don't care if you want to claim it wasn't intentional YOU STILL DID IT. You haven't apologized for harassing and slandering your critics.
So no, James, I don't really believe you're sorry. I think you're sorry this blew up and that you have to make a new patreon. I don't trust that you won't continue being misogynistic. I don't trust that if you ever see this comment, that you will actually read it instead of crying homophobia and cancel culture and "wanting you dead."
Admit that you harassed people and that it was awful. Admit the extent. Admit you lied about Becky Albertalli and apologize to her. Admit that, yes, YOU HAVE SOME REAL ISSUES WITH WOMEN and that you are ready to confront them.
I don't trust you to do the right thing here. But maybe this comment will be read by someone who might have otherwise fallen for this and it'll be easier for them to see through manipulation like this in the future.
Just log off, Bro.

☆ i will be referring to this conflict as i/p as shorthand for israel/palestine. I recognize the war is between Israel and hamas im just using this term because its short and its common enough that people will get what I mean.
saw a video of a woman with a text overlaid with something about how something was finally over. I think she might have used the term war i just can't remember and I didnt save it even though I shouldve. point is something bad in her life had ended and she looked absolutely relieved and overjoyed and you could quite literally see a weight being lifted off her. whatever actually ended (there were no specifics) was clearly enough of a stressor that it felt incredible when it was done.
anyway there was nothing in the post nor the caption imply that this was about i/p. yet nearly all the comments were like "wait I thought this was about palestine" or "I thought palestine won" "you're misleading us" and other things of that sort.
first of all, how rude do you need to be to see someone celebrating and then get angry that they're not happy about the "correct" thing. how can you be so separated from human emotion that the simple expression of joy and relief is foreign to you. not saying you can't have false assumptions its totally normal to look at something online and have to reread it bc its about a totally different topic than you originally thought. what is messed up is saying the creator has to talk about palestine instead of her own accomplishments because they misunderstood her post. not because she mislead anyone on purpose or anything like that just because of a simple misunderstanding. she did not hurt a single person by making this post and yet instead of just congratulating her and making a little joke about misreading, they are acting as if she is a horrible person because she's not talking about palestine in this specific post.
second of all, this just shows how little people get their information from reliable sources. if the war ended and you were informed by a random post on Instagram because you do not look at anything besides that for information, then you probably haven't learnt enough to be discussing this conflict. of course you're gonna get info on social media that's just how the internet works. you just don't get big news from here without checking it because there's a decent chance its wrong. people lie all the time, people hide facts, and tbh social media politics are like a shitty worldwide game of telephone. if this woman actually was saying the i/p war ended, would these commenters have taken her word and assumed she was telling the truth?? would they have even looked at a single reliable source to see that it hasn't ended?? or are influencers somehow valid news sources now??
point is yall need to find shit to do outside of i/p and start focusing on your own lives and leave women who are just existing the fuck alone. also learn how to find reliable sources it is really scary how little some of yall know about that. I feel like I should proofread this i just am getting pins and needles in my hand so that's just not happening

sam tricking dean into seeing a faith healer (and getting healed) by saying it was a specialist is something i dont see discussed imo because its akin to violating medical consent?
like dean was going to die and hed pretty much accepted it. but sam hadnt.
dean literally asks him "youre not gonna let me die in peace, are you?"
at no point does sam think about what dean wants. dean is the one dying, but its sam who decides that they cant just accept, its sam who goes looking for a supernatural cure, its sam who tricks dean into going to see a faith healer. its all sam sam sam.
when dean is the one dying; he is the one who should get to make these choices. if dean decides he doesnt want to spend his last week's alive chasing down a cure, that should be final. the decision should be deans alone because dean is the one dying, not sam.
sam should have respected deans decision. but sam didnt and yeah its understandable his brother is dying and all, but then he deliberately misleads dean so hell agree to go to nebraska to see the specialist who dean - reasonably - assumes is a doctor.
if nothing else, the deception alone is equal to violating medical consent. its the equivalent of leading a patient into believing theyre going to receive one treatment and then giving them another.
maybe its the angry disabled in me, but it frustrates me to no end when samgirls talk about dean always making decisions for sam when sam uwu baby winchester decides dean doesnt even get to make decisions for himself when hes fucking dying.
So I will say—I don't think Dean wanted to die after his heart got damaged in 1.12. I think he didn't think Sam could do anything and because of that, he was ready to accept the reality of death. He actually expected Sam to be willing to leave him behind, but when Sam wasn't and actually wanted to try and save him, I do think Dean was touched by that and was willing to go along with it. We see that Dean doesn't want to die in 2.01, when Ghost!Dean pleads with Sam and John to save his life, and in 1.22 when Dean begs John "Don't you let it kill me."
Sam most certainly did lie by omission about where he was taking Dean though. He knew Dean wouldn't be amenable to seeing some christian faith healer in a tent, so he omitted certain details to get him in the car. Sam does something very similar in 3.15 "Time Is On My Side".
While Dean was willing to try (thus his willingness to see a specialist), he wasn't really down to see the religious faith healer—that's absolutely true—and if we reversed the situation and Dean had done this to Sam, samgirls would never shut up about it. For me personally, Sam's unhinged ploys to save Dean are one of his more entertaining qualities though. Even if I don't always like how it works out, I enjoy seeing Sam do extremely unhinged things and easily brush it under the rug afterwards.
What's more troublesome to me is that in taking Dean to see this faith healer, ushering him into the tent when Dean is really too sick to put up more than verbal protests, and then insisting Dean sit up front and then go up on stage (with added pressure from the crowd)... the outcome of that is... terrible. Of course, it's something terrible that Sam does not know about or expect. Sam didn't know that when Dean got healed, someone else would die. But the simple fact is that Sam easily dismissed it.
DEAN Wait, wait, wait. So, Marshall Hall died to save me? SAM Dean, the guy probably would've died anyway. And someone else would've been healed.
Dean didn't have such an easy time. Dean had to live with it. Dean had to contend with the knowledge that not only had someone died so he could be healed, but that his life was saved over Layla's life, which made him feel terrible. The entire situation made Dean feel so guilty and horrible and wrong that he stopped running from the reaper at the end of the episode and planned to let it kill him so that Layla could live, and all of this resulted from a situation that started with... Sam tricking Dean. Is it any wonder that Dean immediately says "No" in 3.01 when Sam wants to take him to another faith healer?

November reading wrapup
hmmm pretty good month for quantity but hit or miss for quality, i either loved or hated almost all of these. 💆🏻♀️
1. the lover, marguerite duras — tumblr girl classic, ur fav web weaving posts almost definitely feature a snippet of this. like woah 😭 ok very timeless very vivid and real. I did cry.
2. icebreaker, hannah grace — this is EMBARASSINGGGGGG i was going to a hockey game and was like woah let me get into this mindset... into this world… THIS BOOK WAS MISLEADING i thought itd be equal parts hockey world ice skater world equal parts romance and no.. it was nothing of the sort... this was just tooooo porny like WAY too much, even for me. AND I USED TO WRITE SM- *gunshot*
3. throne of glass, sarah j mass — does anyone have any good fantasy series recs that arent this?? like this is what years without winds of winter will do to a woman. im settling for this subpar garbage. but i am gonna keep reading it bc what else do i have, george???
4. mickey7, edward ashton — been on my tbr since rob pattinson was announced to be the lead in this in the bong joon-ho movie… i feel like with the creatives behind it thisll end up being one of those rare bones and all situations where the adaptation is wayyyyy better than the book. but idk. book itself was whatever good concept but didnt even really go anywhere. i thought that i had guessed a twist lie 3 quarters of the way thru but there was no twist literally nothing happened. therefore MID
5. blood meridian, cormac mccarthy — the only other time i had like a visceral tummy churning reaction to a book like this was when i read theons chapters in a dance with dragons 😭😭😭 anyway i like the lack of quotation marks and i also find it easier to write without them SHOOT ME
6. death valley, melissa broder — im really endeared to broder as a writer because i feel like she can only do one thing really well and shes very self aware of that.. which i respect.. also what the protag is going thru here at the start of the book is something ive also gone thru and it felt very strangely accurate and bizarre as a real person reading about a fake person going thru it. and literally within the book the protag references how writers poorly portray their characters accurately 'going thru it' (i keep saying going thru it bcoz im trying not to spoil even tho no ones gonna read my recs ALTHO this one deserves to be read i think) so that was cray and meta but umm what im trying to say is.. melissa i wanted to go to ur book signing i literally had my day cleared in my planner for u. why did u have to cancel the event.
7. indelicacy, amina cain — public announcement i guess but hey girl @noumenongirl i think you would love this one i dont know why but the whole time i was reading i was just like woah she’d love this😭 i liked it a lot
8. the penelopiad, margaret atwood — this is what circe by madeline miller wanted and tried to be but failed tremendously at.....
9. crown of midnight, sarah j mass — was better than throne of glass in the beginning actually but then they halfway thru lost me again..
10. the assassins blade, sarah j mass — im just hate reading at this point like i dont have anything else to do. Celaena youll never be daenerys girl like stop
11. elvis and me, priscilla beaulieu presley — ohhhh…. :,(((( my fav celeb memoir yet i think.....
+ bonus — im gonna add this to my december list but im like 75% of the way with fourth wing rn, good fawking heavens i wishthat grrm could trademark copyright the concept of dragons like i dont think anyone should be allowed to write about DRAGONS only him. like mini spoilers for fourth wing SORRY but WHY DO THE DRAGONS SPEAK ENGLISH, WHY DO THEY EVEN SPEAK AT ALL....cringe. but better than throne of glass at least😭 but it doesnt take much to be better than throne of glass to be fair. OK reading wrapup over.
#technically read lover at the end of october SORRRYY... SORRY FOR CHEATING.... but had to mention it bc it was the best of the lot imo#and if u have any recs lmk😸!#booklr

feel free to delete this ask if you dont want to talk about it anymore but wanted to add a last note.
What stranges me it's that the rest of the video as long as I can fact check is true, even the merch part that uses information of coffezilla's video. So that editors part seems even more out of place.
Seeing his response...I believe he didnt mean to be dishonest or malisiously lie even if he ended up being dishonest. Im going to be honest here, I think it was pettienest. He probably wanted to add the merch and the editors for that part to responde to that part tommy said and ended up cutting the screenshots of the editors to make his point more clear out of pettinest which is wrong bc like the editors shouldnt be dragged into this but that's why I believe he did it. He probably thought that bc he wasnt faking the screenshots it wasnt a big deal but yeah it was not good. This is mostly the only reason why I can of it tbh.
I feel sad tbh. I know nothing is black and white and dream will never be black and white too but still makes me sad. I hope he says sorry to the editors and corrects himself on that part. If not while im gonna be sad, my position over awful harrassment towards him and him suffering an awful smear campain meant to hurt his mental health to the ground and being victim of propursly bad intentded rumours it's not gonna change even if dream did a bad thing and im happy seeing that a part of the consesus it's this and I liked hearing your thoughts on this too, Send you a big hus and sorry for the long text 😅
I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts with me!
The main reason I didn't want to discuss further was mostly because I wasn't caught up on the invoice stuff and really only wanted to talk about the editor part since I had more knowledge there and I think that deserves criticism. I don't doubt he tried to source things in good faith, and editors within those circles could have very likely mislead him or fed him false information, but still seeing that he did use those conversations without permission of the editors actually involved in them and cropped out the context, it's presents a false narrative. I don't think this dishonesty was malicious, it was likely a petty emotional response to how many flagrant and false claims Tommy made in his video, like you said.
In the grand scheme of things, this whole thing disappointed me but I don't want it to overshadow his factual points. Unfortunately, this whole situation is so terrible and no matter what he does, people will continue to find something wrong with him and his responses, regardless of if it's critique-worthy or not. If this weren't already so blown out of proportion by the time his video dropped, I don't think this issue would be taking up as much bandwidth as it is. Like you said, I think it would be good of him to properly apologize to those editors and fix that mistake, and maybe that could help him regain some credibility with a larger audience, but at the same time I think the people who hate him are too blinded by that hate to change.
I'm sorry that's so gloomy, and all of that just to say that I do agree with you. At this point I'm not sure if he should even try to respond publicly anymore. I just hope he's okay and really thinks about what his next move is, even if it's just logging off and taking care of himself. He needs that.
Someone should destroy the Twitter servers right fucking now.

the poll has ended, so the truth must come out: there wasnt a lie*, as the format might have lead you to believe! i tricked you with my tumblr poll
*(there were a few small technical or semantic errors in a couple of the answers as a result of me not fully fact checking; if you caught these, gg and thanks 👍 i didnt put a large amount of technical effort in because it wasnt really intended as a trivia game for OP enjoyers, it was more for people who havent read or seen the series. that's why this was posted On My Minecraft Blog and not Anywhere Else)
anyway. some brief explanations for those who want them. (this will contain Spoilers up to and including events from the most recent manga arc!)
1. yes, the transgender prisoners exist; it's called newkama land. theres actually a surprising amount of transgender characters in one piece
2. yes, einstein is multiple people. his name is vegapunk and he has 6 clones who, all together, contain one copy of his brain. one of them [REDACTED] and everyone realizes theres an imposter among us (the wording on this one was unclear or misleading, specifically my use of "7" referring to the satellites + stella as a whole, instead of saying "made 6 clones" or something to that effect. mb gamers)
3. yes, the evil power rangers are real. they're called germa 66, they're the royal family of the germa kingdom and they're also literally the villains of an in-universe comic series
4. yes, eminem and pinocchio are god, technically.
- "eminem" refers to enel, the ruler of an island in the sky; rulers of that island have the title of "god". more like a different word for a king than our understanding of god.
- "pinocchio" refers to usopp, whose appearance takes some inspiration from pinocchio; he got deified by a bunch of guys after he saved them (long story) and now is stuck with "god" as an official epithet.
5. yes, aliens are real. enel flew to space and met space pirates and a bunch of little guys. we never really seem to acknowledge in the main plotline that enel flew to the moon and met aliens (it factors into worldbuilding but fundamentally i don't think the plot of one piece thus far would change if you cut the "enel's great space operations" cover story. but I cant fit all that into a poll option)
6. yes, the cute ""mascot"" character can turn into a kaiju.
7. yes, a government assassin really did go undercover for 5 years as a shipwright and speak via pigeon ventriloquism that whole time (<- this man is a cold blooded killer)
8. yes, theres a kinnie running around wano. his name is yamato and he kins kozuki oden, the deceased daimyo* of kuri in wano. bonus fun fact, oden transed yamato's gender. (*this was the biggest error on my part - oden was the son of a shogun, and intended to become shogun, but never actually got there. oops)
9. yes, the baby man has a tragic backstory. cw for death, specifically of a young child (its non-graphic, but im giving a heads up anyways)
anyway, thanks for playing! sparkle on its sunday dont forget to be yourself and consider reading one piece
(if u know the answer please dont spoil it until the poll ends thank you xoxo. & you're welcome to reblog if youd like but no pressure)

13 sentinels spoilers 3
Yuki chan! Great So aiba eirika has been missing for weeks knew she was sus with tamao's face
In hindsight i should have progressed natsuno sooner a lot of things make more sense now like how miura got to 1985 and the sentinel takamiya's story was just talking about. Two kisaragis... Wait is that android kisaragi that ida lobotomized for having a panic attack and being uncontrollable. robot girl fight. So that is tamao, kinda. "Erika aiba" that was shadowing takamiya yuki is the kurabe tamao AI that ida made. And 426 is android kisaragi that has gone rogue and now has a grudge against ida. 426 won the robot fight and body jacked tamaobot. Poor bj has gone through the most out of the entire cast. Yup second miura confirmation. Android kisarsgi says natsuno is the new kaiju commander and that natsuno will be taking orders from her now and shoots her with nanomachines. Hmm memory loss the magic gun strikes again. Assuming 426 is still in tamaobot they tampered with bj again, and is also the eirika aiba tailing yuki (before the robot fight i assumed it was ida keeping rabs on her). "In the final phase of the [Ark] project humanity will be restarted", the final phase was what og shinonome wanted to sabotage and loop. Og ohata is gouto's son, wow theres a lot of divorce in 2188. Love that. I did remeber from last year that bj was miura but i dont remember which miura he is
It took me a while to figure out maybe 5 or 6 characters but these stories are mostly linear. The charts are misleading in that there isn't really a beaching story the endpoints are usually unlocked sequentially as though clouds are unlocked in previous routes. Most of the character routes even say that this isnt a timeloop (minus ogata who actually is in a timeloop but his story js still sequential) its a new day in the character's routine for each path.
The iori gaslighting lol nah youre crazy it was just a dream. Oh right i learned all her weird dreams are from morimura's or "morimura"s memory transplant experiments. Just the sheer number of morimura running around and the multiple identities and bodies i love this story i hate keeping track of things in this story. Did professor morimura lose her compatibility because of iori? Damn iori cute boy threatens you a gunpoint and grabs you by the shirt and you start spilling your deepest secrets without reservation. Hmm but if all those were the memories of one lifetime why's there an older juro? Or was that someone else dream. Btw i love that shu, juro, and iori a e a weird dream club they'd totally have a group chat about it. The morimura on console with gouto didnt recognize fuyusaka that's more evidence she's a different person than nurse morimura. Im still confused whats new. But hey juro and iori were lovers, this game is more romance heavy than i thought it would be. So the two tried to stop the interstellar project by bombing, failed, morimura died maybe and rhen 16 year younger morinura traveled forward to 2097 to kill juro. Probably not 1v1 but theres 3 of you you totally could have beat up wajima. Starting to think wajima likes taking a pounding, he really is asking for it most of the time, his entire role in the story is to act out of line and then get beat up for that. Well, fuyusaka's not short on bravery. Girl you do not know him you fell in love with the idea of love you've spent 10 min tops with him.
Sekigahara: i dont remember what was going on in your story... Oh yeah that convo about closing the loop, that was before the disaster battle were ei' sentinel got jacked by 426 and morimura emergency ejected the pilots to the different sectors. So there were loops before that, i cant keep this all straight damn my poor memory. Oh so it was ida that made the sentinels go rogue in the battle of 2065 because he bargained ryuko's safety with ei and was trying to undermine morimura. Did he just lie about 426. Ei is clearly the scapegoat. When aegis activates shifting is disabled and all those from other sectors are permanently stuck. Still no clue about the whole time descends into chaos thing. What im assuming is kisaragibot tells sekigahara that he's infected with code dd-426 which is cutting off some of his nanomachines and causing memory related brain damage (shinonome is probably the same). Wonder how nurse morimura ties into this. 20% transplant rate? Was nurse morimura trying to made ida#2 with amiguchi? So the one in ogata's story searching for the d-code key is okino. Okino purposefully infected themself with dd-426 to try and use it to detached the d-code and wiped his own memory. Okino is WILD backed up his memory and personality onto an AI and then ran that AI and overrode his own brain. Okino causes problems on purpose Tsukasa. The cat better not be the universal control system or stomething. Bj miura was the sentinel 17's AI before getting shoved into the little drone. 18 can only be operated by ai ... Who has 18 now man i really need to memorize these. Uh 18 is 3rd gen? Kisaragi? 1944 miura? Hmm so 17 was also one of the previously "automated" sentinels makes me wonder how sentient the others were. Ok ai miura definitely isnt from 2188 then. My memory is failing me has natsuno met sekigahara yet?
Ogata: back to the timeloop mines: found ei and ryoko collapsed and he had dd-426 in his hand. Ida calls the 15 commanders on the d forces, 13 +okino who is the 15th? Tamao? Yeah it is okino on the other end of the line. Lol they kidnapped ogata and tied him to a chair in an abandoned warehouse. Wrong genre! 1 out of the 15 is broadcasting the kaiju signals, wasnt that ogata? One of the scenes earlier said who it was .. was ogata up until 2 months ago.
Yay I finally get to do hijiyama's. I find this route to be one of the most entertaining because okino is just running mental circles around hijiyama. This story is so funny all the jocks are here. okino giving the most fake lackluster bored sounding love confession i've ever heard and ogata falling for it like "damn i'm a stud" and then hijiyama is off to the side have a crisis collapsed on the ground because he's that down bad over okino. Yeah he would be a sub for okino, wants to be bullied. ...the files reveal that tying hijiyama to the chair was literally just to toy with him since okino already knew what was in his brain from previously adjusting code.
Yakushiji: fluffy says 1944 miura has immunity to dd426 because of the component surgically embedded into his forehead that "forces him to use magic". Mr. Kitty controls the tv the one thing that idol had to work around, my wild guess is still kitty cat is universal control. So only she can see fluffy and fluffy is maybe mimicking the appearance of the actual school cat. Gotta say megumi's story is probably my least favorite so far.
Kurabe: shiba not existing to anyone else is not a twist i was expecting. 48q qta_cba those were the nanomachines being administered to kurabe! Its to make shiba the artificial personality. Wait they were trying to reintroduce izumi's memories? That means yakushiji was doing all that for nothing. And shiba is izumi? This part lost me. I get i remembered right the izumi morimura and shiba are trying to resurrect isnt the one from ... Idk Yakushiji's boyfriend, they're trying to resurrect an earlier iteration izumi. The izumi okino and fuyusaka from visitor from another world seem to be from 2104. That 16 year gap has been bothering me for weeks but its sector 0 why are all the other shifts 40 years. But 2104 to 2088. Something oh didnt ida timetravel back and meet morimura on that bridge, two overlapping events.doomed timeline so it is a different iteration! Also terrorist izumi might be 426. Which would explain the statements gouto said about nurse morimura working with them.
Gonna try and finish fuyusaka's story. Oh great there's another one. Now we have nurse morimura, child professor morimura, catsuit morimura, and fuyusaka all in 1984. Oh catsuit is nurse morimura she just changed her clothes. Wait but didnt sekigahara kill her. So there's just been 2 izumis runnin around this whole time 426 and pilot kid. Still not clear on the reset mechanic i thought i understood it but kept getting confused maybe im overthinking it. Nurse morinura is an illusion made by universal control... More evidence for the matrix hypothesis or i suppose with advanced enough production facilities and control there is no difference between the matrix and reality. Going to sector 0 doesnt save you from a reset it scans a person as data and recreates them in the new world. Aegis cuts the world off from universal control. So in the final battle iori is using ei's sentinel, but he's there so where did he get that gen1 guess i'll find out. Im just realizing iori spent all her time chasing ei and didnt actually learn much compared to the other characters.

Author's note: Hi guys. I wanted to get this done for Halloween, I started this around October 1st I gotta be honest, most of the first two weeks of that were just brainstorming on what the fuck to make this chapter. Lots of fun this chapter, even a Halloween party at the end. My brain has also been under a fuck ton of brain rot since Taylor released the new album.
I sort of mislead you in the middle sort of but it all works out <3
MINORS DNI for the smut. Seriously. Ill call your mom.
GIF by munchabunch
Once again, you find yourself standing at the doorway, sneaking a few final kisses before you reluctantly and finally let the door close. As you make your way over to the staircase to run up to your room your mom calls you into the kitchen where she’s making dinner.
Though you loved her, your energy was drained, and you still had studying to do for tomorrow’s biology test. “Mom?” You ask, sitting at the island.
“How was your evening?” she inquires, leaning on the counter with the food cooking behind her.
Your cheeks heat up, the memory of Eddie laying over you, sweaty with his lips slightly parted. “It was good. We watched Fast Times at Ridgemont High and snacked.” Which wasn’t a lie. You woke up about forty five minutes after passing out to Eddie attempting to quietly move around in his room. It wasn’t very quiet, but there are few things you would rather wake up to than that. With a warm smile, he jumped onto you where you were laying when he hears your stomach growl loud and clear. “Let’s get some food in you, sweetheart.” He chuckled, handing you your tiny little skirt and his shirt.
The next hour and a half were spent giggling as you watched the movie and snacked on some chips and candy Eddie had stashed for his munchies. Every now and then, you caught a glimpse of him next to you with his legs tangled in yours. What a fucking night you had.
Not like you could tell your mom about this shit so good is wwhat she gets.
“Glad to hear it.” She pauses, and you brace yourself for what she says next. She had that look on her face. “So, when can he come over for dinner?”
If you had water, you would’ve done a spit take. It would’ve made more sense that way there would’ve been something you were actually choking on. “I-what?”
She sighs, fixing her shirt. “If you two are this intense early in the game then I would like to at least meet him. You know, put a personality onto him other than Freak or Cult Leader?”
You knew she had a point, but you couldn’t help but picture Eddie’s face when you tell him your parents want to sit down and have dinner with him. Would it freak him out? Would he laugh in your face and tell you it’s not that serious? Fuck anxiety.
“Ok. I’ll see what he thinks about it. I’m sure he’ll think it’s a good idea,” you lie, and your mom knew it. She appreciated the effort. You shift awkwardly, the cum you begged Eddie for sitting awkward between your legs. “Mom? Can I ask you something awkward?”
The living room TV goes noticeably louder. She chuckles and nods, and you take a deep breath. “Can I go on the pill?”
She’s stunned, and you can see it plain on her face. Whatever her knee jerk reaction is, she seems to ignore it. “Sure. I’ll make an appointment with the family doctor for next week.”
Damn. Not the doctor you’ve been seeing since you were 2. “Thanks.” You pause, one hand on the back of your chair. “I’m going to go study for my test tomorrow.”
She lets you go, asking you to go back down in twenty minutes for when supper will be ready.
It was delicious, as always, a lovely distraction from the studying that made your brain melt. You stare at the practice questions, finally getting most of them right instead of wrong. That was something you would have to live with. As you fall asleep, your book scattered on your desk and your window still open from this morning, Eddie’s smile as he drove you home is ever present and clear in your mind.
-
Unfortunately, unlike yesterday, Eddie guaranteed he wouldn’t be able to wake you up today like he did. It was a disappointing, to say the least. He did mention something about doing it on tomorrow, a welcome surprise.
As you drive to school, you wondered when the leaves had become so vibrant, the evidence of the current season. It was mid October, but the leaves usually don’t seem to change during autumn until they do, and it feels like all at once. As you pull up to school, part of the early risers, you see Eddie’s van parked in the back corner as it usually is. He didn’t mention getting there early today but you soon remember it was a Friday, the day his club meets for the campaign they are doing. Right.
As you stare off to his van, a heavy arm is placed on to your left shoulder. “Y/N!” Steve’s voice rings, his hands large and voice easily distinguishable.
You jump, and your shoulders tense up before understanding it was Steve. “Jesus, Steve. Hi, how can I help you?”
Robin appears out of thin air on your right side. “Do we need a reason to greet our dear friend?” She asks, feigning offence.
“Yeah,” you deadpan, their antics usually leading you in trouble at work.
Robin couldn’t hold it in for another minute. “Okay, yeah we do. I want details and Stevie here has a proposition.”
Steve’s eyes roll at the nickname you and Robin came up with, calling him Stevie affectionately most of the time. Most. “Ok well Stevie also wants details.”
Your eyebrows knit together as you glance up at him. “Why are you so invested in my sex life?” You ask, your head shaking in disbelief.
“You’re the only one of us with one at the moment.” Steve deadpans, as if it’s the obvious answer.
“Can it wait until Sunday, you nosy assholes?” You ask, wanting the privacy of Robins small bedroom.
Steve looks at Robin, as if he has no idea what Sunday meant. “Huh?”
Robin’s eyes go wide, and you knew she had already forgotten the promise of snacks and gossip on her bedroom floor from yesterday. “Shit. Hey Stevie, you want to hang out with me and Y/N on Sunday? We’re gonna trade secrets and gossip about the class of 86!”
The idea of spending the night with you and Robin would usually iron out the crease between Steve’s eyebrows. However, at the word of ‘secret’ it got crinklier. “Secrets? What kind of secrets?”
You swear they’re having a quiet conversation as Steve asks a silent question you don’t understand, and Robin confirms whatever he’s wondering. “What hold on what-“
“So, you’ll come, yay Stevie is coming, too!” Robin exclaims, jumping and awkwardly holding your hand. Robin wasn’t a jumping up and down while excited type of person. What the fuck was happening.
“Ok I’m going to pretend Robin isn’t visiting the land of Woo-Ville and get back to what you were saying earlier about a proposition.” You comment ignoring how your hand was being danced around as Robin tries to distract you from whatever was going on. It worked; you were just worried about her now.
“Yes right. Will you and Eddie come to my Halloween Party?” Wait, what? You’ve been going to Steve’s Halloween party every year since he saved your ass from being slaughtered three years ago. It was tradition at this point to get borderline alcohol-induced-stomach-pumped at his party.
“Steve, I’m already coming, what do you mean?”
“Yeah, but you gotta bring Eddie. C’mon he’s like the one person I could never to convince to come to my parties.” Steve basically begs you, his eyes looking pretty as he attempts to persuade you.
You still huff. “Gee, wonder why, Steve.” You pause, pretending to think. “Maybe something to do with the idea that he’s been a social outcast for almost three years.”
“I can guarantee safety for one night from any harassment.” Steve promises.
You look off, amused by his brave words. “How?”
“Anyone that gives him hell I will kick them out. Just point to the guy.” Steve aims his finger at you, his mouth making shooting noises as if from a gun.
“So, he still has to face harassment, they just get one turn each.” You state, still uncomfortable with the idea.
Steve turns you to face him completely, bent over so he’s face to face with you. “What if I make it a known deal that they go to the party and drink for free only if there’s no harassment, or they never get to go to any of my parties again.”
Shit. That sounded decent. “Damn. That’s actually not a bad idea.” Steve looks proud for a moment. “Good one, Robin.” You compliment her, knowing damn well she probably brought it up for him before he said it was too extreme. “I’ll bring it up. No guarantees, though.”
“That’s all I ask for.”
-
Steve stuck around for as long as he could, avoiding the responsibility of leaving to open up Family Video. Somehow only Nancy Wheeler is able to kick him off school property, only somewhat serious about getting Principal Higgins involved.
As the three of you chat about random drama in your graduating class you were glad you weren’t involved in, a shadow approached behind you, and you nearly welcome it until you realized it wasn’t your boyfriend.
Jason Carver. Fuck.
You all stared at him, glaring, and wordlessly asking what the hell he wanted. Jason was a known douche in school, something most teachers chose to ignore considering since he became captain the Basketball team hasn’t lost once, which is good for morale, which is good for grades. Blankly, Jason stared at the three of you, mainly you, waiting for an acknowledgement of sorts.
You decided to bite the bullet. “J-Jason. To what do I owe the pleasure?”
Jason had this..look on his face. As if he was delivering terrible news to you and it was breaking his heart to do so. In class debates, he always got too riled up about something and starts making a speech. Before every dumb speech he made he would get this same stupid look. His eyes sparkling with self righteousness, his lips in a firmly thin line.
You wondered what a sweet girl like Chrissy Cunningham was doing with a douche-canoe like him.
“Y/N,” he starts, saying your name like you were a child. “I just heard an interesting rumour this week and I didn’t know if it was true until I saw you on his lap yesterday.” Jason sighed; a parent disappointed in a child making a big mistake. Your mom didn’t even seem to care this much about the Eddie of it all. “Y/N, that freak,” he paused for dramatic effect, the word stinging in your ears, “is no good. You stick with him, and he’ll wrap you up in his little cult.”
A laugh barks out of you without any warning. This small part of you doesn’t believe he’s being serious. Your laughing continues for another minute or so, Nancy and Robin exchanging worried looks. When Jason’s jaw locks, and his hands find their way to his hips, you have to calm yourself down. “I appreciate the gesture, Jason, but I think I’ll be ok.”
You dismiss him and turn around toward your first class, looking forward to sneaking glances at the face underneath the mop of curly black hair. Your foot barely took a step when Jason grabs your right arm, his fingers feeling tense enough to bruise. “Let go, Jason.”
Nancy and Robin rush to your sides, both telling him to let go of you. He ignores them altogether, his blue eyes fixated on you. “Tell me you’re not with him. Y/N it only takes the wrong crowd to go nowhere in life. I’m just looking out for you. If the freak wants to recruit loser freshmen, I don’t care but when he brings innocent girls into it, I draw the line.”
“Oh my GOD.” There are plenty of things you can say to him at the moment, but this is the only thing that didn’t involve yelling at him. “Jason I can count on one hand how many times we have had a conversation. If you could even call it that. You asking for help in chemistry or that one awkward time you hit on me at Steve’s Halloween party two years ago does not mean you can suddenly tell me what is and isn’t good for me.”
The bell rings, signalling you to get to class, and that you could see Eddie soon.
Nancy interjects, yanking his hand off you. “Dude. How narcissistic do you have to be to think you can just tell people this shit? Back off.”
“Just because multiple people believe something doesn’t make it true.” Robin adds, her husky voice low as if to calm him down. “This cult you’re so worried about is a pretend adventure game.” She makes her way inbetween the two of you beside Nancy. “Get lost.”
Jason’s eyes shift between Nancy and Robin and finally to you. He gives you one last warning look to tell you he hasn’t given up. You were almost afraid next time he’d approach you he would make sure to find you alone. You took a few deep breaths, your heartbeat loud in your ear.
“You ok?” Nancy asks, watching you disassociate as you absorb what just happened.
“No but I will be.” You pause, realizing what Nancy and Robin had been worried about since Jason grabbed your arm. “I have to tell Eddie, don’t I?”
They nod solemnly, the morning turning sour. The final bell rings, and you wave a quick good bye and jog to Spanish.
Eddie is going to be pissed.
-
Still shaken by what exactly went down in the hallways, you finally manage to lay your ass on your plastic chair. Your teacher pauses what she’s in the middle of explaining the lesson plan, not letting your entrance go unnoticed. “Morning, Miss. L/N.”
All at once, 20 other students, including your boyfriend turn their heads to you as you’re grabbing your books out of your bag. “Uh, hi Senorita Mandelez.”
“Somewhere more important you needed to be?” Hell hath no fury like your Spanish teacher when someone was late.
“No,” you state, attempting to remain calm and collected (on the surface). “I was cornered, and they wouldn’t let me come to class.” You look over your shoulder, Eddie’s eyes confused and transfixed on you.
Who? He mouthed, his fingers fidgeting on the desk.
Tell you later.
Senorita Mandelez sat on your answer and seemed to accept it. Class went by in a blur, starting off with reviewing what was learned earlier this week and expanding on it. The bell rang and her voice was faded off into the distance explaining something about Monday. Oh well, you’d find out when you got there.
“Who cornered you?” Eddie asks, his hand seamlessly making its way to hook around your waist. “Robin?” He asks, chuckling low, causing a stir to incite in you.
“No,” You say, grabbing your stuff as he tugs you out the door. “Uh. Promise you won’t freak out.”
Eddie pauses mid step in the middle of the hallway, giving you a perplexed look. You feel your arm get tugged back to where he is. “I make no such promises. Don’t promise something when you don’t know what you’ll get yourself into.” Eddie gulped, his hand petting your hair. “Lesson three from Rick. Who cornered you?”
“What were the first two lessons?” You ask, biting your lip in hopes of distracting him.
He sees right through you, although he has to look up to avoid your eyes. “Don’t change the subject. The fact that you are this willing to avoid it is worrying me.” Eddie takes a breath in and looks back down to your eyes. “Princess. Who cornered you?”
“Jason Carver.” You admit quietly, quite aware of the history Jason and Eddie share. Wasn’t exactly a private dispute.
Eddie’s jaw visibly locks, clearly going from worried to angry in a heartbeat. He starts mumbling something under his breath, you can’t quite make it out. Slowly, he turns away from you and starts striding down the hallway. As hot as it was for Eddie to stand up for you, you knew the basketball team was exceptionally loyal to Jason.
“Ed! What are you doing?” you ask, finally catching up to him as the hallway starts to empty again.
“Luckily it’s also Jason’s free period, and he’s usually around the bleachers.” You wondered how he knew this. It must’ve been clear on your face, as Eddie answers your question when he sees your face. “If I wanna avoid being called a freak I gotta know where to avoid.”
Your heart breaks for him but you have to catch up to him when he continues down the hallway to the main doors. “Ed. Please don’t. If anything, he might’ve wanted to get a reaction out of you.”
At this, Eddie stops in front of the double doors and turns back to face you, his eyes wild but biting his lip nervously. “And he got one. I don’t want Jason thinking it’s okay to harass you just because I let him harass me.”
The bell rings, and you curse Hawkins’ High ability to call parents as soon as their kid shows any signs of not showing up to class, otherwise you’d ditch with him until lunch. “Can we discuss this at lunch? Sit with my friends today. Please?”
He makes his way back to you, accepting your request to leave it alone. (For now, at least.) “Sure, sweetheart. I just have to check with Hellfire and make sure we don’t have any subs for tonight. Now go to class before your Miss Keats also calls you out in front of the class.” He says with a hint of amusement from your embarrassment in his voice.
“Thanks for reminding me.” You mutter, turning to make your way to be late again.
-
You were late again, your English Lit teacher taking pity on you and letting you slip in without calling you out. You wordlessly thanked her for that, her giving you a warm smile in response.
Robin leans into you, eyes wide yet concerned. “Why are you so late?” she whispers, taking advantage of the teacher with her back turned.
You lean in, too, hoping to avoid writing it all down. “Had to stop my boyfriend from confronting Jason.”
“You told him?” Robin asks, her eyes moving quickly back and forth between you and your teacher to make sure you won’t get called out for whispering.
“I was late for class and he wanted to know why.”
“How-“ she pauses as she checks, “how did he react?”
You laugh silently, no humour in the situation. “Not well.”
As if your teacher was waiting for you to finish your conversation, she turns around to face the class and starts discussing her lesson plan.
The memory of your conversation with Eddie runs in your brain, no help towards the nervous feeling in your stomach that started when Eddie started asking you what happened. You know Eddie would take your concerns to heart, but a part of you also knew he was stubborn. Eddie made it clear that he could put his own ego aside if it meant keeping his internal peace and his club. When they messed with you, he had to let them know they crossed a line.
If there was one thing running through your mind right now, it was that Eddie had listened to your wishes and taken them to heart.
-
Eddie listened to what you had to say.
Mostly.
Upon hearing your voice genuinely concerned for him, Eddie spent the better part of thirty minutes into your class comparing the pros and cons of confronting Jason. There were many, many cons and every muscle and bone were telling him it was a bad idea and not to do it.
Jason looking stupidly self righteous while pinning you against your locker and a look of fear sewn on your face was the straw that convinced him to start walking to the football field to where Jason usually spent his free period.
As Eddie walked through the path from his picnic table where he argued with himself after escorting you to your class. He was muttering under his breath, sounding like something of a crazy person.
Once or twice he paused along his path, yet the idea of letting Jason get away with get way with causing the look on your face you had when you popped into first period late. When the final morning bell rang and your usual anxious demeanour juggling your bag and jingly keys, his eyebrows were knitted together in concern to where you were. As you trotted fast paced into the classroom, he saw a look on your face you didn’t even know you wore. It wasn’t a look he’s ever seen you wear. Not even when you were talking to him all nervous as you could barely look him in the eye.
No.
This look on your face was as if you were shaken. Your leg was bouncing through most of the class and you didn’t seem to take a single note. Eddie knew that whatever had caused you to be as late as you were today had really messed you up and he needed to know what or who it was so he could intimidate the problem away. It’s how he dealt with many of his own life problems anyway.
At least that what he told himself. Uncle Wayne has a tad different perspective.
One day, when Eddie is explaining this mindset of his to you sat down with Uncle Wayne in beginning of spring with you hanging on his every word still, Wayne has to hold back actual laughter.
Eddie reaches the far side of the bleachers closest to the woods. As he approaches them, he can start to hear Jason and his friends. His lips snarled in annoyance as he can hear their obnoxious laughter from literally two or three yards away.
As Jason comes into focus, laughing hand in hand with his head cheerleader girlfriend Chrissy, a small group of other cheerleaders and Jason’s number 2 man. Eddie’s heart beat out of his chest as he crouches behind the benches, the unnaturally green grass an odd juxtaposition against his big black boots. “Shit”
He spent a solid minute staring at Carver and his little sheep as he imagined how a conversation would go. What the fuck would he even say? Would he threaten him? Knowing Jason’s parents who are respected in the community that wouldn’t go well. Would he level with him? Nah, Eddie has learned the hard way Jason simply doesn’t see him as a person with complex emotions or nuances. Could he just ask nicely?
What the fuck, no.
Eddie shook his head out of the momentary insanity he possessed.
So other than beating the shit out of Jason assuming his friends wouldn’t retaliate and get revenge how the hell was Eddie supposed to confront him? Eddie huffed, his cheeks puffing up as he figured out something you already knew.
Fighting or confronting Jason wasn’t worth it. Eddie turned back around to waddle back to his favourite spot in his own personal hell hole that was Hawkins High School. For the next forty five minutes he spent thinking how smug you were going to look once he told you how he spent his free period. He was looking forward to it.
-
You escaped your English Literature class with a sigh of relief as your boyfriend stood across the classroom door leant against a group of lockers, ignoring the snide looks some group of assholes were giving him. You ignored them, choosing relief from 90 minutes of anxiety over, well, more anxiety. Seemed like the obvious choice here.
He could barely get a word out before you pushed yourself into his arms, causing a little oopmf from him upon impact. “Rough class?” He had a smug little smile on his face. You didn’t even need to see it, from the tone in his voice you just knew.
“No,” you explain your theory confirmed when you peer your head to look up at him. “I was just worried your impulses would get the worst of you.” A flash of confusion appeared on Eddie’s face before he understood what you meant.
“Oh!” he chuckled low, it almost sounded like he was mocking you. “Oh, sweetheart. Why would I do something crazy like that?”
You raise your eyebrows, challenging this idea. Sure, you hoped for the best, but observing someone for three years can lead to some understanding of a person, even if it’s only public.
“Fuck you know me too well.” He answers your look, dropping the innocence act. “Fine, I almost confronted him.” Your breath hitches in this, anxiety hiking for a half second. He feels you tense up. “Hey sweetheart, you know what almost means?” You shake your head, unsure of how this flow of conversation was making sense to him. “Didn’t.”
The bell rings right as you process what his smartass has just said. Your jaw clenches as Eddie gives you a look to insinuate that he ‘won’ or whatever it was. As he tugs you along to escort you to your biology test, you shove him playfully, earning a light chuckle from him as you half run arm in arm, your giggling echoing in the halls.
The two of you collide as you stop right out of your biology class. It almost feels cinematic as he pulls you in, caressing your face as you imagine some soft lighting overcasting a shot or some gentle pop music Eddie would want to rip his ears off to. He kisses you softly, almost wholly enveloping his lips into yours.
His lips felt electric on your own, sending a want through you that made you forget you were in school, forget you were about to take a daunting biology test.
The final bell tied the loose strings back together, zapping you back to reality. You let out an sound of surprise, muffled by Eddie’s lips on yours. Your eyes snap open, Eddie’s face out of focus and so close to yours you have to mildly cross your eyes. “I have to go. See you at lunch. Remember, you’re sitting with us.”
“Shit” Eddie mutters not-so-subtly as you must hold back laughter and run into your class in order to make attendance. As you hop skip into class, Eddie leers onto your ass, before running towards the gymnasium to his damn gym class. You might hate math, but it’s not more than Eddie despises gym. For someone who prefers a mosh pit with his gangly limbs, gym class was like his own personal hell with classmates who chose to antagonize him and happened to be athletically inclined.
Biology goes better than you expected, thanking Nancy and her stupid flashcards that she insisted that you used. After about one third of you finished your test, your teacher let you leave early for lunch time. Since you had ten minutes until lunch time, you took your time putting your bag away and walking over to the table you were usually sat at with Robin and Nancy.
After killing time by playing with your fingers and singing under your breath, finally the bell rings. Shit, where is a book when you need it? It took another few minutes before Nancy makes her way over to where you were sitting, a look of surprise on her face. “How did you get here early?” She asks, timidly placing her notebook on the table.
“She let us out early if we finished our test.” You shrugged, your eyes switching over to the sound of a crowd making their way over to the cafeteria.
Finally, the lunch ladies opened their window so you keep yourself busy while Eddie makes his way to the cafeteria getting your food.
Your tray hits the table, alerting Robin you were about to sit next to her.
“Jesus, don’t do that!” Robin exclaims, her hand on her chest. “You know I scare easy!”
You smile, “Maybe that’s why I do it.” She pushes you lightly on the shoulder, giggling along with you.
In the corner of your eye, you see a flash of Eddie’s leather jacket. He walks right passed you to the Hellfire table. You stare at him, your eyebrows furrowed as you signal what the fuck to him. Eddie knows you would be confused, so he absentmindedly keeps his eye on you until he sees your signal. He puts one finger up, telling you he’d be there in just a minute.
“I thought your new lunch seat was his lap?” Nancy asks you, eyebrow quirked with a smug smile on her face.
“Well today he’s sitting with us.” You tell them, leaning forward onto the table with your arms crossed.
The two of you gawk at him, giving each other a look you can’t quite decipher.
“You can’t spring this onto me, L/N!” Robin exclaims, adjusting her hair as if it counted.
“Why not?” you ask, confused at their mutual stressed out demeanors. “Not like you don’t know him.”
“This is different.” Nancy explains as she adjusts her scattered books and takes the pen out from behind her ear. “We know him as our friend, not your boyfriend. Shit matters now.”
“Oh my god” you mutter, rolling your eyes in exasperation. “I don’t know why you are making such a big deal about this.” You sigh, glancing back at the table Eddie was now walking away from and toward you. “Don’t make it weird.” You stage-whisper to them. “If you make it weird I’m gonna tell Steve something both of you had told me not to tell him”-you interrupt their disapproval-“and believe me I will do deep cuts.”
Nancy glances at Robin, the two girls sharing a singular thought in the exact same moment in time and space. They didn’t even know you had in you to threaten such things let alone do them. Robin lays her hands up in surrender. “Ok, fine. We’ll behave.”
As Robin holds back laughter in the sort of ‘what the fuckkery’ that really only happens in these type of situations. In your peripherals Eddie drags the chair right next to you, sits down and lets his arm plop around your shoulders. “Who’s behaving?” Eddie asks, head tilted and smile mischievous. “Certainly not miss Y/N here.”
Your cheeks heat up in embarrassment. Robin’s laughter ends up becoming harder for her to control, coming out in a big burst of giggles. Eddie looks down at you, eyebrows pinched together and mouth slightly downturned. “What did I miss?”
You smile up at him, reassuring. “Nothing. Just complete and utter nonsense.”
“Yep. Nonsense.” Robin affirms, finally getting a hold of herself. “Oh hey, Y/N,” she starts, a tone of voice you only hear when you knew she was trying to get Steve involved with something stupid at work. Oh no.
“What,” you ask, Eddie feels you tense up in his arms.
“Did you ask Eddie yet?” She asks innocently, knowing you damn well have not asked him what she had in mind.
You tilt your head, leaning into your boyfriend. “I-what?”
Robin gets a whole new case of giggles. “You know, Halloween?”
Eddie feels your body tense up about two whole new levels, he becomes seriously concerned for a half second. “Princess, you good?”
You inhale, your chest feeling tight as you attempt to process everything happening around you. “Give me a minute.” You open your eyes, shooting death rays at Robin. “No, I didn’t. Seeing as Steve only asked me this morning, I haven’t exactly had the chance to. And I think you know that.”
Eddie adjusts his chair so he’s facing towards you, his butt at an angle. “Wait, wait, hold on. Stop speaking in code and tell me why Robin has this shit eating grin on her face?” You glance at her, her smile unnaturally wide, seemingly innocent pose.
Nancy was as intrigued as Eddie was, having no clue about any of your conversation with Steve earlier that day.
“Well, I haven’t had a moment to think about it, since I was cornered by Jason fucking Carver then needed to know whether or not my boyfriend had taken pity on him and not beat the shit out of him for scaring the shit out of me. So, forgive me if I may have been slacking.” You put a little too much emphasis on the last sentence, some bite in your tone. Luckily Nancy and Robin know there’s nothing truly behind it. You just hate being put on the spot. Why do you think they got so much joy out of sending Eddie to your work one week ago?
“Princess, something about Steve and Halloween. Im both intrigued and terrified. Pray tell, what this little bozo the clown giggling about now?” Eddie grabs your hand, attempting to comfort you and using the nickname you confided you used for her sometimes.
You sigh. Fuck times up. “So, Steve had an interesting question, to say the least.”
“As much as his ass is perfect and his eyes are dreamy,” Eddie starts, not sounding all together sarcastic about it, “it’s a no on the threesome.”
You hit him, suddenly giggling at the thought of both of them- you interrupt your own dirty mind and go back on track.
What? It’s not like you haven’t thought about Steve like that, there’s a reason he had a great reputation in town, and it wasn’t his date small talk. It was his way with his hands-
You interrupt yourself again, wrong track. Try again. “Please”, you play coy. “I know this is your way of attempting to get me beg for the threesome,” you retort back.
“You wish,” Eddie mutters, eyes crazy with a smoking hot smirk on his face. Ooh, seeing that look just did something to you. He leans in, your face an inch from his. You can’t help yourself, you lean in and grab onto his lips like you are a woman dying of thirst and the only cure was at the back of his throat.
“Hello? I did not ask to be an audience to a conversation about this! Get to it, missy!” Robin says, clapping her hands for emphasis.
“Sorry, our bad. We didn’t mean to drift off in a conversation you forced us into” you say, your voice dripping in sarcasm, admiring the shine of your spit mixed with his on Eddie’s bottom lip.
“It’s alright,” she says, arms crossed and unbothered. “Just don’t let it happen again.”
“So, Ed,” you mumble, wanting to get this over with already. “The proposition.” A big sigh, one last attempt to put off the question. “Steve wants to know if you will attend his Halloween party this year.”
Eddie resists denying the possibility outright, something his club lets him get away with. Not like he tells them he has any other choice. “His party, where most of the jocks will be and the group of people who like to support my little business behind the scenes but antagonize me for no reason in public?” He raises a single eyebrow to you, wondering if you had thought this one through. “A night of being even more ridiculed? No thanks. I’m good with watching Halloween for the thousandth time. Please thank Harrington for thinking of me though.” He adds, the tiniest little hint of annoyance in his voice, hoping not to disappoint or upset you.
“See that’s the thing, Eddie,” Robin jumps in before you could even start, “Steve is promising free drinks for those guys as long as they keep their little traps shut. You get to go to the party, unharassed, unbothered. They get to drink for free. If they even so much as look at you wrong just give Steve the word and they’re out on their asses, no questions asked.”
Eddie sits on this for a moment. “What’s the catch?” He finally asks, sounding as if he might say yes.
You were surprised on how easy it was to nearly convince him. You were convinced this would take at least three days to persuade him, maybe a bit of dirty work on your knees were required even.
Hell, you’ll still do it.
“Steve has been asking you to come to his Halloween party for years.” Robin explains, the end of his many complaints about it once planning time came. “He just wants you to go. And if harassment free is what is required, so be it.”
“And what if that condition doesn’t fly with everyone and his party is a dud?” Eddie asks, his voice harsh but feeling small. He’s attempted to only go to a handful of parties over the years and he’s not exactly given the welcome wagon.
Nancy laughs, memories of the parties over the years coming into her head. “Trust me, they’ll agree. Steve usually says to bring your own and his is off limits unless it’s the punchbowl. This party is usually the biggest party of the year. By the end of it people are too drunk or hooking up. Shit gets crazy.”
Eddie takes a glance at you, Robin, and Nancy and seems to make up his mind. “Fine,” he says, pausing dramatically. “Under one condition.”
“Anything!” Robin promises for you, smiling meekly when you glare at her.
“I get to pick our costumes.”
-
The rest of your lunch was relatively normal, despite the thrilling start. It felt oddly normal to have your boyfriend sit with you and your friends. There was a moment towards the end of lunch where they had ganged up on you and teased you a little bit about a certain quirk of yours you didn’t realize they had even picked up on.
It only was when you had threatened them in a vulgar and rather violent way (or rather, you were getting worked up and they were beginning to understand the joke wasn’t funny to you anymore), did they finally let up.
You detested the idea of your math class now introducing a new unit, a whole new concept of math and invisible numbers and stupid shit that you don’t care to know or understand. Honestly math would be so much better if you had finished learning in Sophomore year. It was a thought and idea you had that you preached frequently. Both Nancy and Robin were frequent fliers of this weekly grievance you had with the subject, often giving each other a look of ‘not this again’.
Now Eddie, on the other hand. It might be surprising for most, common sense for some, but math came in mad handy when it came to D&D. You can’t have a surprising amount of numbers in a role play fantasy game without learning about them. The only reason Eddie indulged and passed his math class with flying colours for his junior and first senior years was to get better and improve his math skills so he can improve his Dungeon Master skills.
Say what you want about Eddie Munson (just not to his face), he is many things, but one thing you can’t deny on any level is his dedication when it comes to his hyper fixations. If you look into his leather wallet, usually warmed up from the body heat of his ass, you’ll find his ID, a sizeable amount of cash, a faded check book, and lastly a library card. His check book? No need for it. His library card? He goes to the local library about four to five times a month to research on lore or creatures for his campaigns. When he had told Janet, his favourite librarian, that he was repeating his senior year for the second time, to say she was shocked was an understatement. He was always in the back corner, reading quietly and scribbling down notes.
Granted if he put this same energy into school, he would’ve been a borderline A student but that’s besides the point.
Back to the point.
The bitter taste of your math class was luckily followed by the sweet taste of world geography. With him, in the back corner of the room exchanging pointed glances with one another as she goes on about different types of mountains in Asia. Occasionally, you feel brave enough to whisper something to him, but right before you do, she calls another group out for doing the very thing you were debating on.
Mrs. O’Donnell seems to drone on longer than usual today, and you’re sure it’s because it’s a Friday and she wants to ruin your weekend. Why else would she have chosen to teach World Geography except to torture children with the potential she once had?
Wordlessly, as if on the same wavelength as you Eddie snaps his fingers to get your attention. You look over, your dazed out eyes focusing in on his pretty face. As soon as he sees your eyes lose the gloss they had for the last eight minutes or so, he stares at you with wide eyes, zoning in on you and comically leaning his head forward at the neck. He was sharing the same sentiment as you.
With half an hour left in the class she passed out papers, 5 long answered questions, due Monday. A few hands were risen, all wondering the same question. “No, you are not allowed partners. You can figure it out alone this time.”
When she assigns individual assignments like this, there’s a collective knowledge it means no talking. Someone woke up on the cranky side of the bed today.
The bell rings, signalling the end of a gruesome period. As you grabbed your bag, Eddie’s hand enveloped yours. “That just took five fucking years off my life.” Eddie sighs, placing a kiss on your forehead.
You smile sweetly at him, basking in the feeling of him caressing your cheek. His hand tugs on yours, starting to lead you away to your Chemistry class.
“So I’m meeting the guys from my band in the drama room early tonight for D&D.” Eddie starts, taking a sharp inhale as if he was nervous.
“Okay, any particular reason, or did you just want to hash out an arrangement for your performance next week or-”
Eddie chuckles, it always surprises him when you’re so genuinely interested in his life like he is for you. “Nah. I just haven’t been the most honest with them and I think I need to change it.”
“Hope that goes well then,” you wish, arriving to the last class for the day.
“Aw, so sweet.” Eddie mutters, giving you a lobsided smile. “I’ll see you later sweetheart. Did you want to crash the club again? I wouldn’t mind ending it a little early tonight if it meant you were interrupting it again.”
You tilt your head at him, astounded at the idea. Dustin has complained to Steve (therefore you as well) at work about how Eddie refuses to end early unless it’s a parent. There were bathroom breaks but if you needed to go during game time your character would face a penalty. “What would Hellfire club say if I mentioned to them that Eddie Munson wanted to end his session early for his girlfriend? Pretty sure Josh has asked the same thing for his one year anniversary and you declined without hesitating.”
“How-how did you know that?” Eddie asks, the idea of going to class forgotten.
You huff, remembering that was a detail most people not in Hellfire probably didn’t know. In fact, Steve and Robin had probably stored it as useless information. To you, it was something that intrigued you about Eddie. “Dustin rambles sometimes to Steve at work.”
Eddie rolls his eyes at this, Dustin worshipping Steve being old news. “Well, we need to get to class. Come stop by princess. We’ll hang out at my trailer again. Wait,” Eddie says, remembering one tiny detail he learned this morning.
“Hmm?” you ask, not thinking twice about it.
He hesitates, attempting to gain confidence. “My uncle said he wanted to meet you. He’s off tonight, and he said I needed to bring you over or he’s calling the cops about my deals.” Eddie laughs fondly.
“Oh-okay. Do need to-”
“Just show up as your lovely self and you’ll charm the shit out of him. Well, not literally, at least let’s hope” Eddie jokes, bringing you in. He plants a surprisingly wet kiss onto you, but you welcome the surprise. He lets you go, watching as you walk dazed and confused. If there was something that gave Eddie Munson a feeling of power, it was being able to astound you with the simple touch of his lips on yours.
-
Eddie had gotten to the Hellfire club early to set up, waiting nervously for his three bandmates to walk in as he requested at lunch. He starts his set up, placing each little figurine at the corresponding chairs and spreading the character sheets. Not that he was required to start early and stay late for his club, but something he just genuinely enjoyed.
The big black metal doors open with a start, Eddie bounces on his feet in surprise. Quickly recovering, he runs to the door as Gareth, Josh and Peter walk in. “Hey bud!” Josh greets him, grabbing his hand and hugging him in a familiar gesture. “What did you need us early for? We finally ganging up on these asshole freshmen?”
Eddie chuckles, walking in stride to the table as it sat nice and pretty waiting for the DM to start. “Uh, no, I actually just wanted to talk to you guys about something.”
Eddie glances down to his hands, nervously twisting them. The three nerds he spends his free time out of school most days exchange worried glances. However well they knew Eddie, it was rare to see a moment of vulnerability in him. “Did something happen with your girlfriend?” Pete asks innocently, attempting to get the first idea out of the way.
Eddie jerks his head up, his eyes wide. “Oh, Y/N? No, no. We’re good. But it does sort of pertain to that.”
“Come on bud.” Gareth knew Eddie the most, their music tastes most alike and their worldview in tandem. “Tell us what’s on your mind. If we have the freshmen thinking you’re human with a soft spot then they’ll completely over take us. We can’t have that.”
This works, a good sense of humour is what Eddie needs. “Well, you remember Joey, right? Graduated two years ago? Only ever wanted to play a dwarf wizard despite being a whopping 6’3’’?” The three of them nod, but Eddie pays attention to his rings instead. “He said something one day that almost broke my brain. He was comparing me to Harrington and Hargrove, may the bastard rest in hell, and asked if I was drowning in the ladies.”
Gareth remembered, the other two shrugged their shoulders, this conversation being a one-off in their minds.
“I just winked. You know, classic Munson.” Eddie pauses and gathers the courage to face his friends and look them in the eye. “That was the most bizarre thing I have ever heard because it was the furthest thing from the truth.”
Eddie rubs his eyes, the next sentence in his head but he didn’t want to let it go out of his mouth. It was a nerve-wracking moment in time for him.
“Ed what are you getting at?” Pete asked, surprised to say the least. He just thought Y/N was special which is why it was the only girl he’s ever met.
“Until this most recent Saturday, I was a virgin. Until a week ago, when I drove Y/N home, I was a virgin in every sense of the word.” Eddie spills the truth, his heart beating out of his chest.
“So, you’re not a lady killer?” Pete confirmed, unsure what he was hearing.
“Not exactly.”
“Wait Ed why didn’t you tell us then? We could’ve set you up with someone, don’t think I haven’t noticed sneaking glances you two shared.” Josh asked, surprised, but also surprised at himself for buying the initial lie in the first place.
Eddie shook his head, knowing his friends didn’t get it. “Guys I’m already rejected by society as it is. I wasn’t looking for anymore than I already had. I’m surprised we got together and the only reason we did was because she made the first move.”
Eddie remembers his heart beating out his chest, his fingers desperate to reach out and touch a vein running down your neck. You asking to kiss him threw him for a loop, he was thinking he just imagined your lingering glances to his lips. The feeling as you placed your lips on yours, finally and confidently.
“So why tell us now?” Josh asks, leaning backward in his seat casually.
“I mean, I sort of always knew, but why the sudden need for transparency? We’re kind of used to wall being put up with you,” Gareth admits, not really thinking anything of it. He looks to his right and almost fails in holding back laughter as he sees Pete’s entire world view has shifted.
Eddie thought on how to explain it. “Well, I don’t revel in being misunderstood. It’s kind of the entire’s school persona in me. And while I thought I would have to perform, per say, in front of the whole club,” Eddie pauses, looking at each of his friends. “It’s probably not healthy to do it around my actual friends.”
Unexpectedly and jarring in the silence, Josh bursts out laughing. The rest of Corroded Coffin stare at him blankly as they wait for him to calm down. It took far longer than it should have. “Sorry, dude. Inappropriate. I’m just thinking that it’s been a week since you started dating Y/N and she’s already took your virginity and got you confessing feelings and shit. Man, I need to shake her hand next time I see her.”
Eddie rolls his eyes and shoves Josh off his chair for the joke, the group of men laughing as the black metal doors to the drama room suddenly open with the three freshmen standing in the doorway. “Whoa they’re all early.” Mike mumbles, used to Eddie sitting with his legs propped on the table.
“What are you assholes laughing about?” Dustin asks, only somewhat joking but mostly wanting to be included.
It doesn’t take much for Eddie to get into Dungeon Master mode, and when he does, it surprises the boys just how fast he can switch. “Oh, we’re just talking about ways to bring you fresh meat down.”
“No fair!” Lucas says, genuinely whining. “you said we’re not allowed to talk strategy right before a big campaign. That’s so bogus!”
Eddie hears a voice from out of view of the doorway, suddenly noticing a pale hand in Lucas’. “Hey, uh Lucas. I’ll see you later then?”
“Unless she wants to join?” Eddie offers, extending a hand dramatically even though the unknown source couldn’t see it.
She pokes her head into view, her red hair tied up in a low ponytail, holding on to a skateboard and her headphones blasting out music. “Uh, no thanks. My friends nerd out enough for me.”
Eddie was about to respond when Max gives Lucas a peck and takes off. Eddie was genuinely impressed all three of his new recruits for the year had girlfriends. He wasn’t sure if it was in the water he wasn’t drinking or younger nerds just had game now, but the future of Hellfire looked bright.
“Alright gentlemen,” Eddie starts, clapping his hands loudly and walking to his seat. “We start in five minutes. Get ready, because this one is a doozy.”
-
It was two hours and many casualties later when the black metal doors are hit with a bangbang bang, both you and Nancy standing outside the doors as you have a week ago. Eddie smirks, his eyes lighting up just the smallest of smidges as he glances at the doors. “If you give me just a moment,” Eddie requests but not asking permission.
“Dude, what the fuck? We are in the middle of a life-or-death situation! Nancy can wait.” Mike complains, his palm facing up in a frustrated claw as he watches Eddie, stunted.
“It’s not really Nancy I’m worried about, shithead.” Eddie explains, failing to hold his excitement in as he jogs to the doors.
Eddie opens both doors, a dramatic flair as if to impress the girl who has already fallen for him. There you were, showered and changed. He could smell a hint of coconut and some sort of flowery scent from your slightly damp hair. His face breaks free of his attempt to seem cool in front of his freshmen who worshipped him and into a smile that takes over his face.
Your heart skips a beat at the way he lights up for you, monetarily pausing any doubt that you ever had that Eddie did not like you as much as you did him.
“C’mere, sweetheart.” He mutters so only the three of you could hear. If you have forgotten Nancy was next to you, the sound of her giggles was a reminder.
As he tugs you into his arm, wrapping it around you and walking down the steps into the drama room, you give her a look, asking her what was so funny.
She calms herself, the back of her palm against her mouth. “Nothing. You guys are just so cute.”
One thing Eddie either forgot or didn’t care enough to notice was that sound carries well in a drama room. Despite him trying to talk sweet in a way only the patrons of the doorway could hear, his entire club heard, and it was met with eye rolls and points into gagging mouths. Whatever you did to their dungeon master, you better stop.
“I agree.” Dustin pipes up, mind bewildered how different he seemed to be around you. Eddie lifts a brow, as if asking him if he was joshing him. One thing he made perfectly clear to his club was that you were off limits when it came to fucking around. Fuck around and find out, meet Eddie Munson. “No. Wholeheartedly. You are adorable. Can you be adorable on your own time? I got curfew and a combined total of 11 hit points left.”
Nancy sighed, her keys in one hand and her handbag on the other shoulder. “How far long do you think Munson?”
Eddie shrugs off your shoulders and walks back to his throne. “Not too long, Wheeler. Ten minutes. Tops. Then you get to carry your brother and his ragtag friends’ corpses home. I promise.”
She lets out a big sigh. Most nights she wouldn’t care, as she is deeply annoyed with the whole Friday night ordeal and just wants to get back home hogging the phone with Jonathan. Today, she felt patient. That was not a trait she held on a regular basis. “Alright. Whatever, finish up. Y/N and I will be in the lot by the car.” You came with Nancy again, considering you were going to Eddie’s right after it made no sense to drive yourself.
“Actually,” you pause, keeping your eyes on your boyfriend’s pretty brown ones. “I kind of want to see how this plays out.”
Nancy huffs annoyed she’s now losing a friend to the dork side. “Seriously?” You nod. “Alright then, have fun. Mike when it’s done you better haul ass.”
“Nance!” You call, she turns around and silently asks what it was you wanted. Her brother didn’t exactly bring the best out of her.
“You don’t remember spending hours playing with Mike in the basement when he just got into the game and had no one else to play with?”
Some collective laughter roars, eyes on Mike. “Thanks a lot, Y/N.” Mike mutters, leaning on one hand.
“Shit, sorry Mike.” You look to him apologetically before switching back to Nance. “Look, I know they get on your nerves and you have different priorities or whatever. But I remember when you would cook up a hard campaign, hard for us at least, and the three of us would get so loud your mom would threaten to take our books away. Shit got fun. I wanna stick around because I’m willing to bet these guys know how have fun. If Dustin’s complaints mixed with sometimes an uncomfortable amount of praise says anything, these campaigns are worth the watch.”
“Shit she’s monologuing.” Josh mutters, looking to Eddie.
Eddie was perched on his toes, squatting. Man doesn’t know how to sit normally. His mind was blank, unsure how he didn’t know you used to play. He wondered if he could suck you back into the wormhole that was D&D. His mind was already filled to the brim with strategies on how to get you to join next Friday. Or the next. He didn’t care, he just wanted to see you play.
“Yeah. I’m just gonna..” Nancy drifts off and turns back to the doors. Whatever. Nancy might’ve met your oh so cheesy speech with a scoff or mutter how times have changed, but Eddie met it with straight up awe.
The doors slam loudly, echoing for more than a second throughout the room. “Alright, that was...eventful.” Eddie states bluntly, looking around to his bewildered club members. “Y/N, come have a seat.” He sits down normally for once, onto his ass, patting his lap. You feel six pairs of eyes all move to you, synchronized. It sent a shiver down your spine. “Come on, on papa’s lap.”
Your cheeks heat up at the word use, yet glad he didn’t use a specific different word. You trot over any way, knowing Eddie would wait if he needed to for you to sit down. Your ass meets his lap, and he has you sit in a way that your legs are bent and cradled yet he can still see. As the members were already on the threshold of the final scene, Eddie put his Dungeon Master set up down, no papers needed. It was just a matter of war of the die.
“Gareth the Great. You were about to roll for your attack. Good luck.”
The game continues, Eddie prompting rolls to his three last living members who are just fighting to stay alive against Eddie’s boss. Funny thing was this wasn’t even their final boss. Mike said something to piss him off and Eddie decided to choose violence.
In the end, unfortunately, violence won. They went down fighting, Dustin’s butter fingers rolling a measly 1. The group groans in unison, understanding the immediate loss of their fight. “You spontaneously combust on the spot. No fireball, no shots taken. You just” Eddie uses his hands to mimic an explosion, “explode.”
You giggle loudly, causing Dustin to shoot a glare at you. “Sorry dude, roll better next time.”
Despite their loss, this causes some laughter. It felt good to draw laughter out of his friends, feeling like a nice fit. As you giggle and shift around in his lap, you wiggle your hips accidentally causing his dick to twitch. Eddie grits his teeth, swallowing hard. How was this the second time this week you caused him to get a hard on in front of his friends?
“Alright, gents. Better luck next time. You may all level up for the experience, if you find a way to be resurrected.” Eddie chuckles as Dustin throws a fit, complaining to his friends that it’ll be damn near impossible, and he really liked this character he came up with.
The chatter of the end of a particularly riveting campaign starts up. Eddie isn’t always happy about winning, and the atmosphere is usually lighter when his challenges get pummeled. Maybe he’ll ease up next time, just to keep them coming back.
Mike is on his friends’ asses to hurry up, knowing they’ve been well over the ten minutes Eddie promised. They all shout their goodbyes on their way out, some papers flying out of Dustin’s half open backpack.
The three fellow members of Corroded Coffin stand in a circle with Eddie for a few minutes, discussing band rehearsals for the weekend on top of mindless chatter. Eddie keeps an eye out for you, sitting innocently on his chair, leg draped over one arm as you stare off into space. God help him if he wasn’t so smitten with you.
Gareth notices his heart isn’t in the conversation, Eddie not being as subtle as he thought he was. “Alright then bud. We’ll see you Sunday?”
“Hmm?” Eddie asks, turning his head back to them. He faced three smug ass shitheads. “Whatever just because I told you about my shit doesn’t mean you get to be all smug about it.”
“Oh, that reminds me!” Josh exclaims, running to the table where you’re still zoned out. He jumps into your line of sight, scaring you. “Sorry. High five!”
You glance to Eddie, wondering if you were being set up. He shrugs, looking defeated. You pathetically tap his hand, afraid it’s a trap. “No, harder!”
You slap his hand harder, and Josh runs back to their now jumbled up circle. “What was that for?” You ask, your eyes squinted.
“You took our Dungeon Masters’ virginity and he told us about it. I don’t know what you’re doing but keep it up kid.” Josh laughs, grabbing his shit before Eddie could have his head perched on a fruit bowl.
“What?” You exclaim, surprised Eddie has told him literally anything else than that you were together.
“Making me regret opening up to you, assholes!” Eddie yells as the three of them laugh as they escape.
“You love us!” Gareth yells back, slamming the door with a final blow.
Eddie stares at the door, shaking his head and muttering about the knuckleheads. On one hand, his best friends probably just scared the shit out of you. On the other, he was finally alone with you again. “Alright princess. Could you help me by picking up the figurines and the papers? I’ll do the rest.”
You sat up in the chair, looking content. “Sure.”
The mess was cleaned up silently, neither of you speaking much other than small talk. Your combined nerves of meeting a guardian were creating an energy that was almost suffocating.
On the plus side, working beside you was a dream, silently moving around you as he noticed you reading the stats of each character. Even better when he realized you actually understood it all. Maybe not all, most boys wrote in chicken scratch, after all. He took the moments of you carefully collecting one paper at a time after studying each character, admired the low light reflecting off the shine of your hair. The delicate way you lifted your nearly dry hair behind your ear. The subconscious smile appearing on your face as you read a particularly well thought out part of their characters.
You feel yourself being watched, looking up to see Eddie starting at you. He sees you look back down sheepishly, nearly combusting at how sweet you were. “Alright let’s go”, Eddie says, holding his hand out for the last paper.
The two of you leave the drama room, Eddie turning the lights off and locking up. Your feet walk in sync as your footsteps echo in the dark hallway, making your way out into the autumn chill.
He turns on the van with a slight delay, grinning manically when it works. He hated when he had to break his pliers out on his own damn vehicle. Shit is annoying to fix. You sat quietly, looking out the window and absentmindedly holding his hand. He feels you squeeze his hand tightly as you approach the trailer park, nerves kicking in for him too. He knew Wayne would love you, but meeting his girlfriend felt serious.
As you got out, you heard the voice of someone you could pick out in a crowd, Eddie’s new neighbour. They moved in at the beginning of the month when Max’s mom finally admitted she couldn’t afford the house with her stepdad gone. It was tough, and Dustin and Lucas have both admitted to you they could feel her closing off.
You wave to her, receiving a wave back as the dog she was feeding nips at her impatiently. Her attention is ripped back to the dog, and your heart squeezes. You weren’t close with her but you worked together multiple times through the summer to get the mind flayer, and you shared an occasional moment.
You didn’t know you were staring until Eddie tugs on your hand, bringing you to his door. “I know you’re nervous but it’s gotta happen some time.”
“Like you are meeting my mom and dad?” You asked, deciding now is the time.
Eddie’s eyes bulge, forgetting you had a normal set of parents he still had to meet. “Damn. Right. Anyway. It’ll be fine.”
The door swings open without needing a key. The two of you walk in, seeing Wayne Munson perched on the couch with his legs bent and feet on the coffee table holding a beer and watching a rerun of Cheers. A cigarette in his mouth, inhaling, laughing, and coughing as Ted Danson says something rather funny.
He jumps as the door closes, apparently not hearing Eddie’s loud engine. “Oh, hey kid.” Wayne grunts, putting his feet off the table and getting up to greet his nephew. “I see you brought a friend?”
“Of sorts.” Eddie shrugs, his hand flexing in yours.
“Hello,” you greet him, your nervousness obvious in your voice as you greet him. You face him for the first time, taking in the man who you assumed is the one who raised Eddie. Wayne Munson looks like what someone would define as a blue collared man. The plaid he’s wearing, the scruff on his jeans, and the smell and tint of dirt on his skin. He has thin hair on his head, completely thinned out in the middle.
Bald. He’s bald.
He has a scruff beard, and he doesn’t look like the most approachable person in the world. However, the way this man smiled at Eddie told you everything you needed to know about him. You hold your hand to him, testing the waters. Eddie muffles a laugh, smiling over you at Wayne.
Wayne laughs silently at the extended hand, grabs it and yanks you into a hug. It startles you, but the smell of the same cologne you smell on Eddie mixed with his gruff laughter as you yelp is oddly comforting. “Oh sunshine, I found my nephew singing a pop song in the shower last Sunday morning. I think we’re way passed a handshake.”
Wayne gives you one last squeeze and lets you go. You turn back to face your boyfriend, anticipating his reaction to this.
Eddie was looking at Wayne, the face of one who was severely betrayed. “You really gotta bring up singing in the shower?”
Wayne put his hands up in surrender, laughing as he goes back to return to the couch where his beer was sat and his cigarette out from lack of use. “Hey, man. You haven’t sung like that for a couple of years. I just had to let this kid know how much she means to you. In case you haven’t gotten the message across.”
You smile already fond of his uncle. “Wait until you meet my mom” you say, attempting to make him feel better. “She has stories on stories against singing in the shower. Though I gotta know the artist.”
“Not saying shit.” Eddie states, bouncing onto his toes and back onto his heels, representing his stubbornness.
Wayne jogs lightly to you, and whispers “Madonna” right near your face and giggles as Eddie loudly protests this second act of betrayal.
“I don’t know how I didn’t see my girlfriend and my uncle teaming up against me coming. This was bound to happen with you two.” He says, sounding disappointed but there was a hint of a smile his face.
“You picked a good one, that’s why,” Wayne says, sat back on his couch and grabbing his lighter and cigarette. “Nice to meet you, sunshine.”
“Nice to meet you too, Mr. Munson,” you reply, the feeling of Eddie’s hand grabbing yours.
“Please, Mr. Munson is my shit brother. Call me Wayne. Please.”
“Okay. Will do.” You smile, your breath taken away as Eddie tugs you straight to his room.
“Edward!” Wayne calls as you almost reach his room.
Eddie sighs and turns around to ask what he wanted.
“Either be quiet or turn some music on. I don’t want to hear anything. Capiche?” He asks, a mildly smug but mostly a tired man who did not need to hear that on his one night off this week.
“Got it.” And the door closes behind you two.
-
You land on the bed with an oof as you lie onto your back, Eddie running around his room like a headless chicken. Eddie puts on some Journey, a tape he once received as a gift and only plays as background music for more tamer things. He turns up the volume enough, but not enough to drown your voices out.
Sitting up, you give him a look with an eyebrow raised, and your core heating up from the mere indication of putting on slightly loud yet tame music. You watch Eddie as he yanks off his jacket and vest, pulling off his shirt as well. He slips his hair back half up, and finally turns to face you with a knowing smirk.
“What are you up to?” You ask as he crawls on to the bed.
“Shh. Time for kissing.” He whispers and leans in with his delicious lips.
No matter how many times you have seen the sight of Eddie leaning in to kiss you, it never gets old. You’re absolutely positive it won’t ever get old.
Eddie’s lips are on yours, leading with a confidence that grows each time. If you’re not careful he will become hella cocky in his abilities. You meet his kiss with enthusiasm, opting to open your mouth ask for permission for your tongue to enter his. He grants you permission, a dark chuckle in the back of his throat as he sharply inhales. He places a hand into your hair, his thumb caressing the skin right underneath it.
You don’t know how, but you were getting wetter from kissing him alone. You could feel an urge to start to grind, your thighs clenching tightly. Lying down on your back, Eddie follows you down, slipping one hand underneath your shirt, the contact of his hand on your waist making you whimper.
“Feeling needy, princess?” He asks, his voice light. “You want me to do something?” Eddie starts kissing your neck, his tongue teasing by barely gracing your skin.
One arm is around your torso, his body lined up against yours and propped onto his elbow. You nod your head yes as he continues his assault on your neck, starting to use his teeth.
“What do you want me to do, use your words.” He whispers against your neck, his voice nice and smooth. He feels you clench your thighs, most of your lower body tightening right up. “Oh you are very needy, my love. But you’re going to have to tell me if you want me to do something, otherwise I’ll continue to do PG rated things on your neck.”
You whimper, thinking he wouldn’t be as cruel as to only stick to over your clothes type touching for the sake of teasing you. “Please, please touch me, Eddie. I need it. I need it so bad.”
“I am touching you” he mutters pressing his hand under your shirt on your torso a little harder on your skin.
A sound comes out of you that sounds like a sob, a pathetic little noise from being riled up so much already. You know if he were to take off your pants your panties would have a nice little wet patch on them. “My pussy, Eddie please. Touch it, I’m so fucking wet.” You beg him, whimpering.
Eddie admires the way he was able to make you fall apart simply by kissing you. He has been thinking of attempting something like this with you for about as long as he could handle. Your face was already scrunched up from the teasing, whimpering from the way he was teasing you and almost denying you what you so desperately craved.
“There you go sweetheart.” Eddie sits up, you with him. He crawls down to your waist, starting on the waistband of your pants. He tugs on it, forcing you to lift your hips. He throws them across the room and gets a good look at your pretty yellow panties with the bow on it you decided to wear, nearly groaning at the sight of the darkened patch at the centre. “Look at you,” he nearly chokes on air, catching his breath at the way your hips are so easily separated and you panting, staring up at him. “Is this all for me? Just from my lips kissing yours?”
“I’ve been wanting you all day,” you mumble, embarrassed. “Been thinking about your cock in class.”
“Oh, you dirty girl,” he mutters, entirely too turned on at the idea of you sitting in class and writing notes while thinking of him bending you over a desk in a nearby empty classroom. He rewards your confession with a kiss on your thigh, causing it to shake on almost immediate contact, the lick sending pleasure shocks up your body. He looks at you, surprised at the reaction, but it only encourages him to continue.
He laps further up your thigh causing your pussy to start to clench at the very idea of being in contact with his fucking beautiful tongue. Finally, he gets to the centre, the heated core where your pussy is begging for any sort of contact. “Baby, please” You beg him. “Lick my pussy. Eat me out. Fuck please.”
Usually, Eddie is the more verbal one, but you’re starting to catch on to the fact that every time you beg or confess something he rewards you. So here, instead of teasing you over your undies like he was planning, he rips them off in a singular motion. As soon as your panties are off, he attacks your clit with his tongue, your pussy already completely covered in your slick.
“Look how wet and pretty this little pussy is,” he mutters against your clit, the vibrations sending waves up your stomach. If he continues like this, you won’t last much longer. He slips in a finger, pumping it and sucking on your clit at the same time. “How does this feel, baby?”
You were so far gone you were surprised it even registered to answer, your stomach starting to tighten in the all too familiar way. “Feels- feels so good, Ed. Keep doing that.”
Eddie sucks on your clit even harder and adds a finger. You feel fuller and a red-hot heat starts on your clit, spreading in your legs and your stomach. It felt intense, and new. There was a very small part of you that remembered Wayne was in the living room. Instead of the loud moans you wanted to let out, it ended up being choked out moans, staying in the back of your throat.
You struggling to keep quiet was like music to Eddie’s ears. The way your legs were entirely tensed up was telling him you were close. He was surprised how little he did today to get you so close to the edge, wondering how long you must’ve been revved up for. He sucks as hard as he can on your clit, adding a third finger to you.
Suddenly, you’re hit with a wave of heat, something inside you tells you to push and relax a muscle you didn’t know you had. You feel heat all over your body, focused on your pussy and thighs and you hear a gushing sound. It takes you a second to come back to earth, your heart racing and giggles forming in the back of your throat. You sit up slowly to ask him who the fuck taught him to do that cause it wasn’t you when a large wet patch underneath your ass startles you.
It didn’t even occur to you that you have squirted, you were so blissed out. Confused you look at the darkened patch on the bed and then up to Eddie’s face. It’s covered in your slick, and he looks as stunned as you were. “Holy shit I made you squirt.” He mutters, taking one thumb and running it along his face to suck on your slick.
“I-I didn’t know I could even do that.” You whisper, starting at the large wet stain on his bed.
“That was so fucking sexy, baby.” He whispers back, leaning in to kiss you.
You lean back after receiving one kiss, the taste of your pussy/cum turning you on more than you thought it would. “You don’t want to wipe your face off?”
“Are you fucking kidding me, sweetheart?” He asks, dead serious. “I’m wearing this like a fucking trophy. I, a man who has fucked a total of three times, have made my girlfriend squirt. If I can do it any guy can.”
“Not just any guy is willing to go down on a girl like that, though.” You mutter, searching his face.
Eddie rolls his eyes, pouncing on you so you lie back onto the bed. “A guy who refuses to go down on a girl is a fucking whimp. It’s one of the best acts of worship you could possibly do.”
This sentence turns you on so much that you moan softly, leaning in for another you-tasting kiss. You reach down for his pants unbuckling his jeans and belt, needing to feel the weight of his cock on your tongue as lust overtakes and overconsumes your body. “Wanna taste you, now.” You mutter, leaning away to focus on getting his pants off.
After fidgeting for too long, you maneuver him onto his back getting a better angle to blow him.
“Oh, fuck please.” Eddie mutters, a fraction of his confidence gone in the idea of your mouth around his cock.
You yank his briefs and his jeans off all at once, having teased him a bit last time. You just wanted to show him how much making you feel so damn good made you feel. You crawl up to his cock and start fisting him without any warning. Eddie lurches in your hold, his chest lifting with is legs. He really needed the release as well, it seems.
Your hand stops moving, and you lean down, gently kissing along the shaft in different spots. You go up and down several times, not wanting him to know when you were taking him in his mouth. After your third round of up and down Eddie’s hips buck up, silently asking you fucking suck on his cock already. You giggle softly and decide to take pity on him. You open your mouth and finally take him in, his cock going to the centre of your mouth.
Eddie moans softly and you feel his thighs tense. You start sucking and bobbing, getting a rhythm started. “Oh Jesus you do so fucking well with your pretty little mouth, baby.” He rambles, his mouth talking out of habit.
You hum, causing a vibration sent down. Taking your mouth off, you decide something spontaneous, and take one of his balls onto your mouth, sucking on it loudly.
Eddie jerks up in response to this, eyes wide open and staring at the ceiling. You feel proud of yourself for getting this reaction and you move to the next one. You bring his heavy cock back into your mouth and take him in as much as you can. You start the rhythm again, and you can feel him getting more desperate as you continue.
Eddie taps your head, asking you silently to come up to him. You wanted to continue sucking him off, but you obliged anyhow. It was proving that listening to him paid off.
“Come here.” He says when you crawl up to him. “You do so well, baby. Be a good girl and put your cock in, yeah? I wanna fuck you so bad now.”
You take off your baggy shirt, revealing you wore no bra. Your nipples were nice and hard, Eddie grabbing one of your tits as soon as he saw them. You whimper at the sensation, feeling nice and tingly. Finally, you were both naked. You move your leg over his lap, straddling him. You haven’t ridden him yet and you were fucking excited to. As you sit down, Eddie grabs his cock, lining it up with your entrance but just off. He takes his hand off his cock and you whine at the loss of the possibility of you finally being full of him. “No, no. Remember, I told you to put it in. You can do it, my little slut. Go ahead.”
You reach down between your legs to line up his cock with your entrance. Eddie looks down as the head starts to go in, moaning at the sight of your hand doing such a thing. You moan as his cock enters, both at the slight pain and the immense pleasure already pooled in your tummy again.
As the pain settles after a shorter period than last time, you go as far as you can go, not warning Eddie and making him moan loudly. “Shh.” You say, placing your hand over his mouth. “Remember.”
Eddie nods, his eyes wide, but you feel his cock twitch. You almost remove your hand when he desperately grabs it and places it back over his mouth, nodding. You smile, this being far too hot to handle. You add light pressure with your hand, and finally, you’re able to finish sinking onto his cock. “Holy fucking- holy shit.” You whisper as he moans loudly into your hand.
Slowly, you start grinding on his cock, unable to remember when the last time you rode anyone was but knowing you still had some skill regardless. He was longer than you figured, sliding up and farther than you thought you could. As you slam down onto it again Eddie rolls his eyes and is muffled as he moans in your mouth again, a strain of profanities you wish you could hear.
Soon, you find your thighs aren’t doing the job you needed them to, and you stand onto your feet in a froggy style and start bouncing on his cock. This causes a moan so loud your hand barely hid it, Eddie pussy drunk as you stare half lidded into his eyes. His cock is hitting the right spot and you can feel your self getting close as he starts assisting you, moving his hips.
Before you knew what was happening, he got impatient and grabbed your waist and turned you onto your back. You were so surprised your hand flew off his mouth. He put his hand on yours, wanting to be in control. “Now you can moan as long as you want, you little slut,” he whispers, his hand hard on your mouth but literally the hottest thing in the world. He changes from missionary and hikes your legs up so you two were in an L.
You were accidentally edged earlier, but you felt it coming just as fast again, and the way your knees bent on his chest was the dead giveaway. “Are you close, princess? Come on, cum. I wanna feel you as you moan onto my hand. Come on. Come on you slut. Come-”
Eddie got more aggressive, but it did the trick with the slut shaming doing more than you ever expected. The coil in your tummy snaps, sending waves of pleasure through your body and a white-hot flash past your eyes. You yell loudly into his hand, yelling words you weren’t sure they would make sense even if you didn’t have his hand clamped over your mouth.
As Eddie felt you come around his cock, your wet heat spasming it drew him to his orgasm faster than he was expecting. “Holy shit – Im gonna,” he stops, white hot cum shooting into your pussy, his orgasm overtaking him far faster than he expected.
His hand leaves your mouth, and he falls next to you. “Fuck. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to-” he starts to say, but you crawl into his arms and cut him off.
“Don’t care. I will need a morning after pill to make sure we don’t fuck over your uncle a second time, but I don’t care. I love the feeling of your cum in me.” You tell him honestly, leaning in for a kiss.
“I’m pretty sure I made you up,” Eddie mutters as he musters the energy to get up. He does, grabbing a towel and coming back to clean you up. “Hold on, be right back.”
Eddie gets changed into sweats and a band t shirt and runs into the trailer to get a glass of water. When he returns, he has a wet cloth as well and a shit eating grin on his face.
“What happened?” You ask, afraid to know the answer.
“He left a note.”
You didn’t see it when he first came in, a cloth against the mug of water he brought. “What does it say?”
Eddie giggles as he lifts it up and clears this throat dramatically. “It says, ‘You kids don’t know the meaning of the word quiet. I went for a walk. I’ll be back at 11.”
You put your hands over your mouth, mortified that after meeting his uncle its followed by fucking too loud and forcing him out of his own trailer. Eddie doesn’t seem to find this embarrassing, but rather funny. Silently you ask him why he’s laughing. “I didn’t think I would ever be able to fuck so loud that my uncle had to leave, seeing as my virginity status was bound to last until college.” He sighs looking off into distance. “Dreams really do come true.”
You get up, knees weak to grab the cloth in his hands. “I’ll take that.”
“AH ah ah.” He yanks it out of reach. “Lie down. Let me take care of you. Then we’ll go watch something in the living room before I drive you home, ok?”
You lie back down, Eddie placing a nice warm cloth on your pussy to clean it. When he’s done, he gives you some water. “Do you need a shower?” He asks, offering a clean towel from the linen closet. You nod your head no, thinking you’ll just take one at home and you wanted more time together.
Eddie shrugs and gives you your clothes and lets you know he’ll meet you in the living room and it’s his turn to pick the movie.
After Wayne gives you an extra half hour of wiggle room, he finds you sitting on the couch, you refusing to make eye contact as he walks in. He sits next to you anyway, already forgotten.
-
Eddie drives you home and when you flop into your bed you’re literally about to pass out from happiness. You sigh, the feeling of your wet panties against your folds both uncomfortable and erotic all at the same time. You opt to have a shower, feeling half asleep as the hot water hits your back. As your washing yourself your hand flutters down to your core, feeling the sticky cum Eddie er, surprised you with earlier. You find yourself horny again, giggling as the sleepy and horny mix is not always a great mix of emotions to be.
After washing your hair and losing track of time after zoning out and realizing the water has now turned lukewarm, you turn the tap off and waddle back into your room.
Dressed into a cozy pair of pajamas, you thank the heavens or whatever there’s no school. As your mom came upstairs to ask you a question at a time where you’re usually reading with your lamp on in a dimly lit room, she sees you fast asleep with a soft smile on your face.
Your alarm yanks you out of a hazy sleep, forgetting what you were dreaming about by the time you hit the off button and blink sleepily around at the state of your room. Breakfast, getting dressed, and sitting in the living room with your dad to pass the morning, you check your watch and it’s time to get going to work.
You run upstairs, grabbing your bag and keys when you notice an unfamiliar piece of paper on the window ledge by your bed. Curious, you climb up to grab it, recognizing the messy writing as soon as you open it up.
As much as I love your pretty pussy, you looked too peaceful to wake up. Call me when you’re done work. Eddie.
You blink, blankly wondering why he would have woken you up. Then Thursday floats into your brain, Eddie promising he’d wake you up this morning. A smile floats onto your face as you fold up the paper and sneak it into the edge of the mirror. Sex with him was astoundingly great but feeling cared for was just as fantastic.
You run downstairs and out the door, callously yelling a goodbye to your parents and driving almost recklessly to work. When you get in, there’s already many customers, remembering it was a big release for a movie this weekend for rent.
Robin scrunches her nose at you as you pass by her to go to the back room, a response to the bug eyed ‘holy shit’ look you gave her about the crowded small store. You applied lip gloss, put the vest on and clocked in two minutes early to help them on the floor. Looked like your relaxed Saturday you were looking forward to might not be so hazy.
Six hours (you stayed to help), hundreds of tapes exchanged and thousands of fake smiles at customers later, the store was finally closed. The movie you put on earlier finished twenty minutes ago, only the sound of the three of you opening and closing VHS tapes as you check to make sure they’re rewound and rewinding the ones that aren’t.
You and Steve grab two piles of returned tapes to stock them up again, fixing the stray tapes you found along the way. You two were working in tandem, the sound of static now emerging from the speakers. “Robin, can you turn that shit off?”
“Got it!” She shouts, turning to where the tape was playing.
“So. Robin told me something oddly interesting before you and a million other people showed up today.” Steve starts, his voice casual.
“What, that work isn’t a great place to find dates? I already knew that you’re the one with the problem, not me.” You retort, giggling as Steve acts offended.
When Steve turns on you, hands on his hips and his offended act dropping you get worried. “Excuse me, miss, but what was the thing that launched your relationship? Staring at him forever, or sending him in here so you had to talk to him? Huh? Yeah, that’s what I thought, try again.”
Shit. You’ve been humbled. “Okay, fair point. My bad, I take it back.”
“Uh huh,” Steve mutters, starting to stock the tapes again. “Little hypocrite.”
Your chest feels tight, and you sigh, attempting to break the tension. “Sorry. What was it that Robin told you?”
Steve’s chest indicates a quite huff of laughter, staring at a movie cover for far too long. “She told me you and Eddie discussed in detail yesterday about a threesome with me.”
Your heart stutters at him telling you this and the nonchalant tone he said it with. “Robin! Is nothing sacred?”
“Sorry!” She calls, knowing she messed it up. “I told him how asking Eddie to go to his party went but then I started going off on the never-ending train track again and I couldn’t stop talking and when I couldn’t stop, I brought up that he immediately brought it up when we said Steve and proposition in the same sentence and I was just talking about how funny that was because-”
“Robin!” you and Steve both interrupt her rant at the same time. “You’re doing it again.” You said, smiling softly to calm her down.
“Right. Sorry.” She says, looking crestfallen.
“Hey, it’s fine. Robin rambling is another Tuesday, here.” Steve says, leaning on one of the shelves and detesting how many tapes there were to put back still.
“You know we were kidding, right? You and Eddie have spoken a total of two times, and he is already making jokes about how you’re his platonic soulmate.” You say, attempting to sound casual about it. Again. It’s not like you haven’t thought about it.
Steve chuckles, looking at you fondly, his arms crossed while still leant on the shelf. “I mean. I was just saying how interesting it was that Eddie’s mind immediately went to that.”
You shrug. “Hey, proposition to not just one member of a couple but both is usually along those lines.”
There’s an energy there, and you can’t place it. You both stare at one another for a minute until you break out into laughter. “Jesus, Y/N. Can’t have everyone.”
“But you can?” You joke, finally picking up another tape to put back.
Steve doesn’t respond, just punches your shoulder at the jab you gave him.
The rest of your chores were done within 20 minutes, the three of you deciding to meet at Steve’s house instead of Robin’s tomorrow, since Steve’s parents are never home, and you get the living-room. The door locks up with Steve’s key, and you give them a wave as they wonder off to Steve’s car.
When you get home, the ugly green vest hanging out of your backpack and your feet sore as hell, you trudge up to your room with a tired hello to your parents.
When you’re halfway up, your mom tells you Eddie called about half an hour ago, since he didn’t know you stayed at work late today. You smile and thank her and run upstairs to go call him back.
His phone rings twice before he picks up, sounding like he ran to the phone. “Hello, princess.”
“What would you do if it wasn’t me?” You laugh, picturing a telemarketer getting this answer and immediately hanging up.
“That would be awkward. But it’s not, cause it’s you.” It sounds like he’s smiling into the phone, you can see him leant up against the wall of his hallway, dressed down to stay in and arms crossed against this stomach.
You lean back onto your bed, your feet feeling immediate relief as you lie down onto your bed. “Missed you this morning,” you whisper, eyes floating to the note you folded but put on display.
“Well, I didn’t want to interrupt what looked like a peaceful sleep.”
“You could’ve cuddled me.” You point out, eyes feeling droopy.
“I mean, I guess. I just didn’t want to disturb you, is all.” He insists, sounding as he was now pacing.
“That’s sweet. But you could never disturb me.” You mumble, feeling safe as if his voice had wrapped itself around you, comforting you in ways you couldn’t imagine was ever possible.
A beat. Eddie lightly asks into the phone, “Sweetheart are you falling asleep on me?”
“Not on you,” you mutter sleepily, turning on the ear your phone wasn’t on. “Wish I was on you.”
“Want me to come over and we can snuggle?” Eddie asks, already searching for his keys in his pockets.
A smile breaks across your face and your tummy flips at the idea. “Yes please.”
“Be right there.”
The line goes dead.
You hang up your phone and grab the faded and wrinkled copy of Lord of the Rings, and you were passed out before you reached the third page.
It felt almost immediately after you fell asleep when you feel a cold hand on your cheek, bringing you out of your sleep and startling you. “Whoa, whoa.” Eddie mutters, calming you down as to not alarm your parents. “It’s me. You asked me to come over. Then fell the fuck asleep. You must’ve been worn out.”
You smile in relief and grab his shirt, yanking him under the covers with you. “I was. Busy ass day at work. Everyone and their mother wanted the same damn movie and one-” you yawn, crawling into his arms when he gets comfortable, “one asshole yelled at us for a solid five minutes about it until Steve kicked him out.”
Eddie’s heart squeezes at the idea of some asshole yelling at her just because he could. “Sorry you had a rough shift, sweetheart.” He mutters, you feeling his cheek resting on your head, staring up at your ceiling.
The feeling of his arms around you brings immense and immediate comfort, lulling you and bring you further and further into sleep. “It-it’s ok. Part of the job, I guess.” You attempt to comfort him as your eyelids feel impossible to open. You would swear up and down the conversation continued after, but Eddie insisted you were out like a light.
When you were dead asleep at only 9:30, Eddie placed your well-read copy of Lord of the Rings aside, taking a note of what a secret dork you were, and pulled your blanket so you were snug shoulder to toe. As you tuck your self further into his chest, he looks around your room, noticing pop music posters, tapes and books lined on a bookshelf, a half open closet filled to the brim with clothes, a vanity where he wanted to find the perfume you used to get his own. He was half asleep himself, the sound of your breathing and steady heartbeat oddly comforting for him.
Your door was knocked on, startling him, making his jump out of his skin, but you remained asleep. Eddie prayed to any entity that the person knocking would go, taking a hint you were already sleeping.
The doorknob turned anyway, and Eddie would’ve jumped out of the window as soon as he saw it if you weren’t literally lying on top of him, almost completely. Didn’t this look compromising. Please don’t be her dad.
Your mom walks in, about to start a sentence, and completely stops mid breath, mouth open and gaping at the sight of her daughter fast asleep with her boyfriend in her bed, looking scared shitless. “Oh” she mouths, unsure of what to do now. You weren’t a hard kid, she didn’t need to prepare for such instances.
As if would even wake you up, Eddie whispers “Sorry, she asked me to come over because she had a hard day and fell asleep in the first five minutes.”
Your mom nods, understanding. She didn’t think Eddie had any reason to lie to her about it, it seemed this is the least incriminating position with him in your bed she could find you two, you’re both completely clothed, and the only thing of Eddie’s scattered in the room were his vest, jacket, and boots.
She didn’t see any need to punish either of you. “I was just going to tell her supper was ready a while ago and she hasn’t come down yet. I can see why, now.” Your mom finishes, tilting her head to look at her pooped kid. “Do you want it?”
Eddie is incredibly surprised at the gesture, expecting to be told to leave now that she was asleep. “No but thank you. You want me to go, or?”
“I want you to use the front door your van doesn’t make me so paranoid. I just appreciate you’re there for her.” Your mom feels oddly comforted by him lying down with you, the way he was here to not just hook up, but make you feel better after a hard day at work. It soothes a lot of anxieties she had about your relationship that seemed to be going so well, so fast. She thought she would’ve freaked out at finding Eddie in your bed like she knew she would eventually, she just thought there would be little to no clothes on your backs. If there was a time to be a freaked-out mom, she didn’t think this was it. “Just be glad I’m not her father. He wouldn’t have been so understanding.”
“I was praying you weren’t him.”
She laughs softly, backing up to the door. Eddie sees you in her, her eyes, her kindness, her laugh. Eddie used to wonder what kind of guy he would be when a girl would bring him home to the ‘rents. His main estimate that he would probably never get that serious while in high school. At this point though, he could see himself forming a relationship with your mother, able to walk in when he pleased and steal some left-over pizza.
It was a vision as clear as he had when you met his uncle Wayne. He could see you walking in the trailer, Wayne gruffly saying he was at an unscheduled band practice, and you would sit down next to him, grabbing some popcorn effortlessly conversing. It felt beautiful, like he was made to fit in your family, and you his.
Your mom walks up to the lamp, noticing Eddie’s eyelids getting droopy and turning it off. She grabs the book from his hands, placing it on the bedside table. She leaves the room, taking a glance at the two of you cuddled into one another and both seeming comfortable.
The light went off and Eddie could vaguely hear the door closing, the feeling of sleep pulling him back in, his head feeling heavy against yours. He didn’t know how he had gotten so lucky, but he knew he wanted to stay here forever.
-
Eddie is woken up to something moving along his thighs, a damp specific heat radiating onto it. He’s momentarily confused until he hears you whimper, and it dawns on him. He opens his eyes, sunrise starting, a pinky blue haze in the sky cascading into the room.
He looks down to your face, your eyes still closed, frantically grinding your thin pajama pants against the thickest part of his thigh. He is already hard, thanks to morning wood, and he palms himself through his pants as he watches your face tense up in pleasure. He jerks off his cock a few strokes, perfectly content with letting you finish your dream until he hears, loud as daylight, “Eddie, feels so good.”
Eddie felt himself twitch in his hand as you whine his name desperately, causing a nearly primal want awaken in him, going from content with what he had to desperate for more. You start grinding faster, your whimpers louder. He grabs your face, kissing your lips with a pull in his stomach of pure lust. “Does it feel good as you use my thigh to get off, baby?” he asks, voice low, but still wanting to wake you up.
You nod, and start to kiss him back, continually grinding all the while. “Princess.”
“Hmm?” you ask, your hands starting to reach out for him, desperate to touch him. You feel yourself waking up, yet you didn’t want to leave the dream.
“Wake up.”
Your eyes flutter open, and your movements come to a halt. You glance around you, wondering where you were, and realizing it was already the next morning. You feel Eddie’s body shaking lightly, his arm moving rapidly. When you understand he was fisting himself, the feeling of your wet pussy pulsating against his thigh suddenly felt heavy, too aware.
“Oh, fuck I’m sorry,” you whisper, starting to get away from him, entirely too embarrassed. How much did he know?
Eddie grabs onto you with his free hand, his rough and calloused fingers easily tugging you back towards him. “Don’t you dare,” he mutters, his hips involuntarily grind up. You watch him, his face slack and his eyes starting to fade closed. “You grinding on my hips like a desperate little slut in your sleep was fantastic. Keep doing it for me.”
You can feel your insecurities of accidentally throwing him off now fading in the lust over taking your body. Your cunt gets wetter, the idea of him watching you get yourself off on his thighs while moaning his name surprisingly hot to you. You move to straddle his thigh again, but Eddie yanks down the elastic waistband. “Take off your panties first, doll.” You feel flushed, almost embarrassed. The embarrassment is quickly replaced with want and you quickly tear off your pants and shirt. “So desperate for my cock, huh?” You nod, straddling his thigh once more. “Too bad,” he grunts, placing one hand on the small of your back. “You make yourself cum on my thigh then daddy will fuck you.”
It slips out of him, he barely notices. It stuns you, your pussy hovering over the milky skin of his thighs. Your breathing is heavier, and a part of you wants to protest it but you moan, the idea turning you on more than it did off. “Okay, daddy.” You whimper, starting to hump him desperately.
The use of daddy now surprises him, and it dawns on him he had said it. He chuckles, remembering your wide eyes to the use of the word papa the night before. He shudders as your wet slick grinds up against him, soaking his bare thigh. He can now literally feel how turned on you are, literally pulsating around nothing as you whine.
“Shh, baby. I can hear someone downstairs.”
“S-sorry daddy,” you whimper, wholeheartedly jumping into it. You didn’t think it would work for you but calling Eddie daddy was something your brain was holding onto and squeezing tight, refusing to let go. You were panicking but your lust hazed brain was too gone to think critically. As you feel yourself get closer to the edge, your thighs pooling in heat and what feels like a physical build up in your tummy.
Eddie is grunting lowly as he watches your face fall more and more apart, thinking about asking you to masturbate for him on your bed so he can watch from your vanity. You are getting yourself off was somehow so much hotter than his own cock in your pretty little mouth. “It’s ok baby, I just don’t want your parents seeing their sweet little girl so needy as she gets herself off, ya?”
You nod, your throat feels tight, and you bite your lip. “Daddy, can I have a kiss?”
Eddie smiles, jerking himself off slowly, not to finish himself but just to have some release. “Cum, first, baby. Then sure.”
You don’t know how, but the very command of you to cum causes the coil in your stomach to snap sharply, a body spasming orgasm quickly swirling and invading your body, the heat becoming unbearable, even taking a pitstop in your head. It was an intense orgasm, your mouth opening and stunting against his shoulder. Eddie wants to kiss you, but his lusted-out brain decides against it and places two fingers in your mouth.
You accept his fingers happily, sucking on them hard and swirling your tongue over them, your thighs flexing and relaxing in a rhythm, still straddled on his thigh. “So eager.” He mutters, head tilted as you cover his fingers in your spit. He takes his fingers out finally and replaces them with his mouth, invading your mouth with his tongue, and you whimper in pleasure as you meet his with your own.
As you kiss, he grabs on to your hips and miraculously turns you onto your back. He sits up, reaching back to grab his shirt and yank it off. Your hips open already, open and ready for him to do whatever he wanted to you.
When Eddie’s momentarily blocked vision is cleared, he sees you staring up at him with a dark gaze, your legs open resting on their feet and your pussy glistening with how wet you were. “Jesus, I don’t think there will be anyone hotter.” He mutters his eyes staying on your cunt as he starts to line himself up with your entrance.
You reach out desperately for him, trying to touch his arms, his shoulders, any thing. Anything to calm the ache of just wanting him. You were wet enough for him to slide in easily, bottoming out instantly. The feeling of his cock feels so fucking good you start a loud moan and Eddie puts his hand on your mouth again. “Shut up, baby. We can’t have either of your parents wondering up about the commotion.”
His gruff hands using too much pressure on your mouth caused your eyes to roll back in your head, your mouth still open in quiet pleasure, feeling both over stimulated and like you’re not getting enough. Eddie takes his hand off your mouth and uses it to support his weight as he starts to roll his hips. Your skin tingles at your hip where one hand was stationed, and you feel your legs flexing as they wander around aimlessly in the air.
Eddie suddenly wraps both of his arms around your waist, tugging onto you as he supports your weight, and he lifts you so you’re now on top. “Ride my cock, make daddy cum.”
You see a slight shift in his features, and you can tell he’s getting closer to his own high. You start bouncing on his cock, your thighs sore from doing it yesterday, but too desperate to pay attention to it. He leans into you, whispering in your ear. “Your pussy feels so fucking good, princess. You ride me like a fucking porn star. She’s so sweet until you get a cock in her and all the sudden, she’s a big slut. Daddy’s slut.” He rambles on and you knew it was only a matter of time he was finishing, and you were letting him cum inside you again, accustomed and turned on by idea.
You weren’t close yourself, but watching his face get more screwed up as he gets closer, and you watch his chest heaving and feel his hands tighten their grip on your hips. “Gonna cum” he mutters, giving you only the slightest warning until you feel his cock shooting his white hot cum in you, filling you up even more. His orgasm lasted longer than it usually did, watching as your pussy leaks and overfills with him. You stop, out of breath and completely content in only cumming on his thighs. The idea was hot anyway.
Eddie looks at you as this idea starts to make home in your mind. The look on his face tells you that you are both nowhere close to being done. He sees your face and watches as the gears turn and figure out that he’s not quite done with you yet.
Wordlessly he lies down so his head is on the pillow, and you think he wants you to ride him again. He does, but not his cock. You crawl to straddle his cock again, and Eddie tugs on your thighs, guiding you to crawl up closer and closer to his face. You stop, resting your ass on his chest as you figure what he wanted.
Eddie looks down towards his chest, your pussy leaking his cum, the white substance covering your pussy lips. He groans, and reaches one hand to use his finger, hooking lightly and collecting it. He puts the finger in his mouth, and he feels his chest get wetter as you watch the way you both taste together, his eyes rolling to the back of his head.
He reaches in for more and brings this sample to your mouth, having you taste the combined slick of the both of you. It was erotic, the bitter taste of his cum mixed with the metal taste of your pussy. “Wanna taste more of that. Sit on my fucking face.” He mutters, tugging on your thighs to bring you closer.
You find yourself drawn to his face, slowly inching towards it. Your pussy finally reaches just over his mouth, and you sit down lightly on it, afraid you would hurt him if you put all your weight onto him. Eddie is having none of your hesitation and hooks his arms around your thighs and tugs you down harshly. You attempt to sit back up, and Eddie keeps you in place.
He says something muffled, but you were guessing he was telling you to stay put. Eddie licks one long strip down your pussy, you are moaning brokenly and wrapping your arm around your face as to not make too much noise. Eddie can see your face twisted up already in pleasure, and does the lick again, and experimentally tapping his tongue repeatedly, the sensation sending a shock through you as you completely relax your weight on to him.
Eddie keeps his eyes on you, refusing to close them.
Your pussy gets wetter by the second, Eddie expertly lapping up all your juices but always just avoiding your clit. You get desperate for him to abuse your clit and start grinding on his face, and a muffled moan comes from him, aroused at your increasingly greedy stature. As you grind a tad harder than you were before, your hips making a slightly bigger circle before. Your clit finally reaches some release, not from his tongue from what you were craving but his nose. A wave of pleasure goes through you, and you start huffing lightly as you start to purposely rub your nub against his nose.
He wonders what changed then feels a purposeful hit of his nose on your clit, and he realizes you were getting off on it. He lets it happen, starting to suck on your pussy lips hard and help you chase the high the flexing of your thighs under neath his hands were signalling you were so close to. “I-Im close” you mumble softly, and Eddie holds on to you tighter and you respond by grabbing his hair.
He chuckles into your hole, and his tongue darts into it, and you continue grinding it, his tongue fucking you with as much effect as his cock would. In your stomach the coil gets tighter and you can you feel your legs shaking around his head as he laps up every single drop you spilling onto his face. By now you’ve nearly pushed out every drop of his cum, which wasn’t the point to begin with.
You crouch over, feeling the same intense feeling you had the night before. It starts from his nose on your clit, spreads like wildfire through your legs and into your tummy. You feel the same urge to push and let go, and a wave of pleasure hits again. A gushing sound hits your ears, your thighs suddenly feeling sticky and wet. You sit up, looking down at Eddie’s face and seeing him covered in your slick you just let out.
“Holy shit,” you mutter, backing up from his face. “Holy shit.” You fall onto your back next to him, breathing heavily. Eddie blinks rapidly, wiping his eyes, his wet lashes looking like he went for a swim. You giggle, feeling giddy as your orgasm is still lingering. You somehow manage to get up, knees weak as you waddle to the hook on the back of the door of your room for a clean towel. As you hit the bed again Eddie reaches out and you yank it out of his reach. “Let me, baby.” You delicately pat the towel on his face, absorbing all your slick and getting on his ears where it both miraculously and impressively ended up.
“I must’ve squirted a lot this time huh,” you comment, still finding wet areas around his neck and chin.
Eddie laughs, sitting up. “God, like a fucking waterfall you were.”
You flush, the comparison making you nervous. Eddie notes the sudden change in your demeanor, curious, considering you were still naked with him. “A very, very pretty waterfall. A waterfall I could stay in forever.” He reassures you, and you scrunch your shoulders up as he leans in to kiss you rapidly.
Your mom calls up, letting you know breakfast is ready when you were. “Guess that’s our cue to get dressed, you say, sighing. You waddle over to your closet and grabbing a skirt and a long-sleeved shirt. After grabbing some comfortable underwear, you slip on your clothes, and turn around to see Eddie pulling up his pants and closing his belt.
You smile at him, grabbing his hand and escorting him downstairs. You pause at the top, panicked. Eddie snuck in last night. “Wait. Does she know you’re here?”
“Yeah, she came in to give you supper and let me stay the night. She’s cool.” Eddie smiles, his thumb rubbing against yours.
As you trot downstairs, you smell her cooking, having made a large breakfast. The bacon and eggs smelled particularly mouth watering, having not eaten since lunch yesterday. “Morning.” You say, sitting down at the island.
You pat the seat next to you and Eddie sits down, grabbing a plate for the each of you.
“How did you sleep?” she asks kindly.
“Well.” You say, scooping up some eggs and then reaching to the far side for some bacon.
“Sit, let me help” Eddie mutters, lightly pushing you back to your seat. “Gonna hurt yourself.”
You roll your eyes and grab two pairs of forks.
Your mom watches the two of you, finding it hard to believe you hadn’t been together long. “Dad’s at work?” you ask, noting the silence of the living room.
“Yeah. He’ll be working every day until next Saturday at the plant.” She pauses, grabbing some of her cookware and bringing it to the sink to wash. “Speaking of next Saturday. Eddie, any plans?”
“Uh, not that I know of. Sometimes my uncle promises I do some chores for our neighbours for some extra cash but that’s about it.” Eddie pauses, chewing on some bacon. “Why?”
“Would you like to have supper with us? I know her father would really like to get to know you and well, so would I if I’m gonna be seeing you more often.”
Eddie looks to you, and you shrug. It was up to him. Granted boyfriend dinners are customary, Ted Wheeler demanding that both Steve and Johnathan sit down with their family when it was time. Ted and your father got along well, so it made sense. “Sure. Sounds good. Any dress code?”
You giggle, remembering his leather get up from Tuesday. “What you wore on your date last Saturday is perfect.” She responds, smiling warmly.
You two finish your breakfast, and Eddie collects both of your plates to bring them over to the sink. “That’s very sweet but I’ll take care of it. You go.”
You walk him to the front door where you dropped off his jacket, vest, and boots as you went into the kitchen. “Show off,” you mutter, no truth behind it.
“Nah. Just being a good boyfriend.” He bends over to slip on a boot. “Any plans for today, sweetheart?”
“Hanging out with Steve and Robin.” You check your watch, and you already only had 45 minutes to be there. “Which I gotta shower for, yikes.”
“See you later.” He leans in for a kiss, chaste and sweet. He grabs his outerwear and opens the front door, giving you one last wink and then running out to his van.
You remind your mom of your plans and then run upstairs to get ready for it.
You weren’t sure what exactly the big secret Robin was going to share with you, but you were both excited and nervous to find out what she and Steve have always been whispering about.
-
A shower, a stop to the drug store for a morning after pill, and a sing along car ride to some Michael Jackson later, you show up at Steve’s big ass house with a blanket and some choice movies. Steve has some movies, of course, but you and Robin knew his taste in movies was questionable at best, so you figured you’d save the night.
Steve and Robin answer the door together, Robin admitting she’s been there since the morning. If Steve wasn’t so insistent against it, you’d assume they’ve been secretly dating.
You waddled right behind them, arms full of goods as they lead you into Steve’s living room. They have seemed to spend a good amount of time setting up, some candles lit up for ambiance with several pillows and blankets in the center of the room, your blanket now deemed useless. Steve’s several couches and the coffee table are pushed aside and the tv has a movie on, stopped.
“What’s all this for?” You ask, the three of you usually just end up somewhat intertwined on the couch, sharing commentary about the movie and laughing about the small town gossip that has made its rounds.
“Special occasion.” Robin states, her hands seeming more interesting than anything else.
You shoot a questioning look at Steve, none of this making sense to you. Steve shrugs, but there’s a knowing look in his brown eyes. “I’m going to go and grab the snacks. You two sit down.”
Robin sighs as Steve leaves the room, silence hanging heavy in the air as you sat down in your blanket, Robin sitting awkwardly from you sit criss-crossed.
After multiple things hitting the floor in the kitchen and swearing, he comes back out, managing a few bowls of snacks and a 2 litre of coke. “Okay. We’re good.” You and Robin each grab a bowl to prevent from him losing his grip. “Hey. Press play?”
You almost answer until you notice his eyes are only on Robin. “Uh, how about we just wait until everything is said?”
“Alright, no distractions.” Steve sits down next to you, creating a triangle between the three of you.
You let the silence sink in for a moment. The want to know what was happening started small, only an inkling in the back of your mind. Now, this want has blown up and it’s blown up like a bouncy castle taking up all the real estate. You can feel it getting bigger, starting to spill out. Suddenly you can’t hold it in. “What is going on?”
Robin inhales sharply, looking to Steve. Steve gives her an encouraging smile and looks over and catches you looking. His smile grows, somehow perfectly communicating to you that it’s nothing to worry about. Nothing bad. “Okay, well. Here goes. You remember the adventure we had right before we lost our jobs, yeah?”
You knew she was being purposely vague; the whole event never being truly discussed between the three of you. Sometimes it would be joked about, a look being shared followed by laughter erupting. But yeah, being trapped underneath the mall in a secret elevator then kidnapped by Russians when they refused to believe you were simply at the wrong place at the wrong time was something hard to forget about. Occasionally it led to a nightmare or two, fortunately the nightmares happening less frequently now that time has passed and your mom asking less questions.
This all passes through your mind in less than ten seconds. “Yeah, you could say that.”
“Well, after Back to Future confused the hell out of the three of us and the dehydration kicked in, the mall lights weren’t treating us very well.” Your mind flashes back to the lights spinning, something you thought was an expression until then. “Then I think you knew what happened.”
The memory of waking up on the bathroom floor after throwing up your guts came to mind, and you crawled passed the middle stall to find Robin and Steve giggling. You asked them what was happening, and Steve says “I don’t know. What the fuck is happening?”
You never found out what they were talking about, but you didn’t think it mattered. If it was important for you to know, you’d know. A need-to-know basis around the Upside Down became an unspoken agreement between everyone. The less shared trauma, the better. “I passed out for about five or so minutes and you two ended up trading secrets on a bathroom floor. I think. I don’t really know I didn’t spend too much mulling about it.”
“While you were out, Steve,” she pauses, huffing. “Steve kind of confessed that he liked me.” She makes eye contact, her mouth partially open and chest heaving. “He was saying all these nice things about me, and the more he kept on about it the more I wanted him to stop.” She smiles at Steve and shifts herself so she is hugging her knees.
“I seriously thought for a moment that she overdosed. I was really freaked out.” Steve mutters, looking off.
“Yeah, I was upset because the worst thing I thought that could happen that summer, happened. I spent too much time making fun of him and sending signals on signals that we wouldn’t work. I tried every way but verbal to turn him away, and as it turns out, it did just the opposite.” She pauses, looking for a reaction from you.
“I mean, I was spent all summer thinking you two were going to start dating and that did not happen. In fact, when I brought it up to Steve the beginning of our school year, he insisted, nearly screamed at me that it wasn’t the case.” You say laughter in your voice at the end of the sentence.
“If you recall, I had said I wasn’t the biggest fan of Steve while I was in his class.” Robin scrunches up her face as she says it. “Steve interpreted as I had a crush on him, and he didn’t even look at me.”
“That’s how I interpreted it too, to be honest.” You confess, giving Steve a look when she said it, silently telling him now could be his chance.
“Well, don’t feel bad, because I intentionally mislead the both of you. I couldn’t exactly outright say what I meant by it.” Robin confesses. “So. Back to the bathroom. Steve has professed some feelings for me. I told him why I wasn’t his biggest fan. There was…this…girl who kept staring at him. And for once. One time, I wanted her to look at me.”
It falls silent as she lets the words sink into your skin. Robin and Steve watch you carefully as the gears work slowly to digest this bomb of a nugget that was just dropped onto you.
Oh. The way you jerk your head up at Robin and look at Steve to confirm you understood what she was trying to tell you. He nods, his mouth in a straight line and nods ever so lightly. “Oh.” You say, swallowing some saliva that has involuntarily gathered in your mouth. You turn back to face her, and she his poorly disguising the fear slowly creeping up her face.
You can affirm your acceptance any way here, and humour seemed the best way to go. “So, is that why you never seem to want to talk about your love life?”
Robin and Steve simultaneously look at one another and break out into laughter. “I mean, she’s crushing hard on one particular little lady in her band class.” Steve mentions, looking at her fondly.
As if your brain was missing a number in an equation, it all adds up. “Oh my god, Vickie?” You ask, the memory of Vickie coming to the front counter with you stationed there working on a mindless chore and Robin jumping in and enthusiastically asking if she could take over for a minute.
“H-how?” Steve asks, both impressed and upset he didn’t get to tell you who Robin has nearly comedically been miming conversations about when you were around.
“I don’t know how I didn’t see it before, honestly.” You admit, thinking about the number of times she has mentioned Vickie saying something funny in class, like the look on her face you confused for affection for a friend is actually adoration for a crush. “Now that I think about it, you mention her quite frequently.”
“Damn. She’s smarter than I give her credit for.” Steve says, making your cheeks heat up.
“Thanks for telling me.”
Startled, Robin looks up at you, her green eyes wide as if she wasn’t expecting it. “Why are you thanking me?”
“You can assume that I’m an accepting person based on how we have known each other for a little bit and choose to spend our free time together. Honestly, though, even knowing someone like we do I think there’s a chance the person you tell will lash out or choose to out you and it can go terribly wrong.” You tell her, the subject hitting close to home. “My cousin came out last year. It didn’t go very well. My aunt and uncle kicked him out and I haven’t spoken to either of them since in protest. I swore up and down they would be accepting, they’re good people who provided a lot of help when my parents needed it the most. Yet, they still had the prejudice so bad that they kicked out their own son.” Not that you were making it about you, you hoped she had understood you had a level of perspective on what gay individuals have to think about when considering coming out. “You were willing to sacrifice your personal safety to tell me the truth. So, I appreciate that.”
“I needed someone to tease her when Vickie comes in with me.” Steve oversimplifies it. “It was killing me not being able to laugh with you in a corner while she stumbled over her words.”
“I’m guessing this is why Steve is so adamant about you not being a couple.” It made sense why he was being vague when you asked for a reason why, too. “Also, what is with Steve in taking pleasure when we’re struggling over our words with our crushes?”
“Hey, if I’m suffering, you are too. We share.” Steve says firmly, putting emphasis on the word share.
You and Robin giggle, the tension that you could cut with a knife earlier now completely gone. “So. Just keep it a secret. That’s all I ask. I’ll come out on my own time, probably when I leave Hawkins.”
You agree silently, offering a pinky for a promise. She hooks hers in and you lock it in.
“Okay so I believe miss Y/N here owes us a telling of her Thursday.” Steve declares dramatically.
“Oh yeah.” You say airily. “I forgot about that. Do you want to know about Friday and Saturday, too, or would that be too much.”
They both look at you like you have an extra head. “Jesus, you Rabbits!” Robin exclaims, genuine surprise on her face. “I mean, we have time, yeah, but God you guys need to relax! You can take a day off, you know. Watch a movie, read a book. Go for a walk. Damn.”
“We do all those things,” you say casually. “We just fuck in between all that.”
Robin rolls her eyes and grabs a chip, the nervousness from her confession all gone and feeling at ease.
“Ok. So. Thursday.”
-
You finished delving into (most of) the details of your sex life blushing as you admitted how Eddie finished you off that very morning and find both of your friends staring at you as if they’re reading something incredibly dirty. “What?” you ask, feeling self conscious.
Steve is avoiding eye contact, trying to ignore the subtle twitch of his dick. The story was far dirtier than he was expecting from the two of you, and he couldn’t help but picture the faces you made as Eddie placed is hand over your mouth to stay quiet.
Robin knew him almost too well and was the only person, even out of the two of you, who had the good sense to understand there was even a hint of lingering attraction coming from both ends. That was saying a lot because Robin often needed to be guided in social ques. She could see the hitch in his breath as you explained it and the sudden needing to focus on the movie they were watching.
From your end, you were avoiding eye contact, mainly focusing on looking at Robin as you told them. She knew if you caught his eye, you would immediately steer away. “I think we’re just surprised our little innocent sunshine could be so…” she drifts off, loss for words.
Your eyes roll, feeling mildly defensive. “You wanted details. You begged me for details. Are these details too much for y’all?”
“I think they might start to be if you two continue at this rate.” Robin chuckles, keeping an eye on the eery silence coming from Steve.
You hold in laughter, knowing you haven’t even told them about calling Eddie daddy. You know at this point you can’t, it would cause them to spontaneously combust. You might tell Robin, but just the thought of telling Steve is enough to make your heart race. “So. Steve. Are you okay?”
Steve blinks back to reality, thinking about anything remotely repulsing enough to kill his boner dead. The numerous times he walked in on Tommy and Carol was one of his extreme measures, but it did the job. His eyes focus on your worried face, and a pang of guilt hits him. Here you are divulging into the details of your private life only because he specifically requested it and he’s being a pervert. “I’m just speechless, I guess.” He lies.
“Remind me not to give in anymore when you are asking for the details anymore.” You say, this stunned reaction the last thing you were expecting.
“Alright so let’s get out of this weird hole.” Robin states, wanting to run away and let you two continue the awkward conversation.
“Let’s watch one of Steve’s movies and make fun of it.” Robin says, getting up to trade out the movie currently in for Back to the Future because it gives Steve a mind-fuck every time. “If you two get weird again I’m leaving, and I don’t care if it’s late at night.”
“We’re not being weird, Robin. You’re being weird for thinking we’re being weird.” Steve protests, a defensive tone in his voice.
“Yeah.” You add, not helping what Robin was talking about but feeling compelled to say so anyway. “Weirdo.”
Robin rolls her eyes, drinking her pop and letting the two of you dig a bigger hole for yourselves.
As Marty gets to the past and his mother wakes him up, Steve’s eyes go wide and divulge into the rabbit hole that was the idea that Lorraine nearly sleeps with her son without knowing. The atmosphere lightens up immensely, you and Robin bringing up ideas or points he didn’t even think about and sending him on a tangent or two.
Two movies and a few positions the three of you shift between, the three of you are lying side by side, barely paying attention to the last 20 minutes of The Goonies, talking softly about whatever crossed your mind. Steve laid between the two of you, and it was hard not to feel your skin on fire as his arm brushed against yours.
These new reactions that are occurring when something as normal as touch of his fingertips to your forearm are brand new, and the guilt from the goosebumps it creates is almost too much to bear.
You just got with Eddie, and it’s better than you could’ve imagined. Why is your body betraying you?
Robin checks her watch as the credits roll, sitting up with a crunch of some thrown popcorn from a popcorn battle you all got into. “I gotta get going. I have way too much homework and I’ve been putting it off all weekend.”
“Alright, I’ll drive you.” You say, getting up to grab your sweater, blanket, and choice movies to get ready to leave.
“See you tomorrow morning, Steve.” You say, smiling and hoping the atmosphere from earlier tonight is long gone.
“Tomorrow morning? You forgetting I graduated, there, sunshine?” He asks sarcastically.
“Seems you did, because you loiter around most mornings until Nancy kicks you out.” You point out, most mornings where Steve likes to tease you somehow, preparing some thick skin for your day. At least, that’s what Steve says.
“She’s got a point,” Robin said, laughter bubbling up in her throat.
“Get out of my house.” Steve shouts when he has no retort.
You girls laugh as you run to your car, coming up with a new way to tease him somehow, giggling as Robin comes up with funnier things you could imagine with her outrageously charming wit.
You drop her off and get back home to your house declining an offer for supper, having eaten a sizeable amount of junk at Steve’s.
As you lie down facing your ceiling, you reach out to grab your Lord of the Rings book, noting a dog ear folded only about 10 or so pages in, something you would never do reading your worn-out copy. You wondered who could have- then it hits you. Eddie was reading it to keep himself busy when you fell asleep last night.
Dang. There’s that guilt.
You shake it off, attempting to read where you left off, about halfway into the book where Gandalf the Grey sacrifices himself. Only about ten minutes and five pages pass by, and the feeling of guilt sits low in your stomach.
Reaching next to you for your phone, you dial Eddie, needing to hear his voice. “Munson residence,” you hear his voice, and it’s everything you needed to hear.
“Hi,” you say, feeling a tad shy. “I miss you.”
He chuckles, low. “Hi, sweetheart. I miss you too. How were they?”
“Shocked.” You answer, referring to their surprised faces after you described what they had begged for.
“How so?”
You knew you hadn’t expressed that you were giving details about your shared private life and you’re beginning to wonder if you should establish rules on what you’re both allowed to disclose to your friends. “They knew we have gotten down and dirty on Thursday and they insisted on details. They were a bit more surprised to find out we also did it yesterday and this morning.” You pause, worrying you were making him uncomfortable. “I didn’t tell all of the dirty details, of course, but enough to stun them into silence.” Pausing again, there’s a question that burns in the back your mind. “Does me talking with them about this ever make you uncomfortable, Eddie?”
His hesitation isn’t exactly comforting.
“Ed?”
“Uncomfortable isn’t the right for it, Y/N.” He offers, the sentence offering both comfort and confusion.
“What would be the right one?” You ask, anxiety not sitting pretty in your stomach. Disappointing him is your least favourite thing.
“Cautious, I suppose.” He says slowly.
“Explain?”
“l don’t mind you talking to your friends. Seems like the kind of thing you guys talk about, anyway. My only hesitation on it would be the context.”
There’s an audible sigh of relief from your end, causing a chuckle to come out of his mouth. “I was thinking we could actually talk about having some boundaries so I don’t disclose anything you’re not comfortable with.”
“That’s a good idea, baby.” He says fondly, relieved that you brought it up like this before he panicked about it.
“Not on here, though. My mom can pick up the phone at any moment and I don’t need her knowing about certain things. Like really don’t need her knowing.”
As if your mom could tell she was being spoken about, you hear “Five more minutes on the phone, then it’s lights out, my girl.”
“You didn’t hear that did you,” you ask, hoping for a no.
“What was it, five more minutes?” Eddie asks, smirk clear in this voice.
“You’re lucky you don’t have a curfew.” You complain, embarrassed at the idea of your mom giving you a bedtime.
“You’re lucky you have a mom that gives a shit, sweetheart.” He retorts back.
“Oh. Shit. Sorry.”
Eddie laughs, not offended at all, completely understanding what you meant. “It’s fine. Bitch left when I was five. I don’t care enough about her to be offended.” He sighs, wanting this conversation to continue for as long as possible. He would sneak over and sleep over with you but now he knew your mom liked to check in on you and he’s pretty sure to make both your lives easier he can’t piss your mom off. “Well, princess, that is my cue to let you go. See you at school.”
“Okay. I-” your mouth goes to say something, something you weren’t even sure that was true yet.
“You?” Eddie asks expectantly, waiting you to finish your sentence.
“I-I forgot what I was going to say. Oops.” You lie, hoping Eddie will brush over it.
“Go to sleep, baby.” He says, chalking it up to exhaustion.
Eddie doesn’t let you say goodbye, hanging up so he can’t let you procrastinate hanging any longer.
It wasn’t any much longer until you fell asleep, guilt sitting pretty in your brain after the reactions your body had, but planning to tell Eddie when you had a chance.
-
Pain.
You wake up, grimacing in pain as you clutch your stomach in a fetal position. You moan, checking the time. It’s about an hour before your alarm was supposed to go off, and you roll back over in annoyance. Another wave of pain runs through you and you something specific only people with a uterus has ever felt.
Fuck. Your period.
You get up reluctantly, assessing the damage to your sheets. As your luck would have it, you were going to indefinitely need to change them. You rip off the sheets and toss them into the corner with your laundry basket, you’ll deal with it later. You get up and to your vanity, grabbing the painkillers that sit pretty until you need them.
Usually, it’s only during your period do you need them, but bitch you need them every six hours on the hour because your period pain tended to be terrible, sometimes requiring days off from school to wallow in it.
One girl in your Junior Year’s gym class claimed she’s never had period pain. In that moment you envied that women more than you could bare.
After a shower to clean up, you get dressed into the polar opposite of the clothes you chose to wear last Wednesday/Thursday. The comfiest fucking clothes you had. If you were still going to school while your uterus was ripping itself apart, at least you weren’t wearing a thong.
You get some sympathy from your mom about it on the way out the door, and she promises to clean your sheets and replace them. God, you were lucky sometimes.
You arrive at school, and in the corner of the lot, leant up against his van is the one thing you needed to see this morning. You get out of your car, wasting no time to run to him, crashing into his arms.
“Good mornin’” Eddie greets you, wondering what this was about.
“Hi,” you mutter into his chest.
“You doin ok?” He asks tentatively. Slowly you shake your head no, your arms going limp at your side. A wave of pain hits you, causing you to whimper and fling your arms back up to him, holding on tight. “Whoa, what’s going on?”
“Got my period.” You mumble, your fingers digging into his jacket. “Period cramps are a bitch.”
“Oh, my poor sweet girl.” He says, understanding at last. “Come on, let’s get you sitting down.”
He walks you over to the cafeteria, sitting at the Hellfire club’s table. Your brain wanted nothing more than to talk with him, spend some quality time together before you start the school day. That would be easier if you weren’t in so much pain. Instead of what could’ve been, you’re bent over the table, whining every time it tenses up. “Fuck,” you whine, hitting the heal of your hand on the table in frustration. “I was fine after I got out of the shower. I drove here.”
“Do you need to call your mom to pick you up?”
“No, I-I should be ok. I’ve stayed at school in worse pain.” You say, barely able to get your sentence out.
“Hold on, sweetheart.” You hear Eddie say, and as you’re crouched and lying on your arms, you see his shadow get up and move.
Eddie, completely panicking about the amount of pain you seem to be in, felt a bit of relief when Robin and Steve wonder in the school, it too early to be considered loitering. “Hey, uh. I need help.” He tells them, and points to you at the table when they give you a questioning look.
“Is she ok?” Steve asks, his eyes still on you.
“She got her period.” Eddie said, and Robin and Steve understood immediately. Your first day of the cycle was a bitch for you, your pain hurting more than others. Usually, you were able to manage it after the pain of the morning hits you, only grimacing occasionally. However, there were times every now and then where you get a beating from it, and you can barely do anything but wither in pain.
“Has she moved at all?” Robin asks, knowing the answer already.
“Not since sitting down.” He admits, turning around to face you.
“Call her mom.” Robin replies immediately.
“Why?” Eddie asks, no venom behind his words, just curiosity.
Robin and Steve sigh, having been through this before during their summer job together both months. “She will refuse to go home unless we send her. Someone else calling to send her home is not her staying home sick, it’s being sent home.”
“Is there a difference?” Eddie asks, not hearing any.
“To her? Yeah.” Steve says, rolling his eyes. “If she stays home, it’s laziness. If someone sends her, it’s not under her control. Call her mom before other people show up, she gets weirdly embarrassed about this shit.”
“Thanks.” Eddie says, meaning it wholeheartedly. “I don’t know how I would’ve handled it with out you.”
“No problem.”
Eddie makes his way to you, where it has gotten bad enough to the point where your knuckles are white from making a fist. “Hi, sweetheart.” He says softly, petting your hair after sitting down next to you. You mumble nothing in return. “I am just going to make a quick phone call, ok? I should be back in five minutes.”
Eddies runs outside to the pay phone, thankful he had change from yesterday afternoon. He dials your number which he’s already memorized.
“L/N residence.”
“Hi, Mrs. L/N, it’s Eddie. I think you should come pick Y/N up, she has been bent over the cafeteria table for about ten minutes and can barely say a word.”
“Oh my gosh,” your mom says, sounding concerned. “That’s unfortunate. I can’t come pick her up, I have a dentist appointment to get a cavity filled. Do you mind driving her home? I can call your uncle and explain the skipped class if you need me to.”
Eddie is more impressed with her kindness by the day. “I would appreciate it. This year he’s buckling down on missed classes and assignments so I can graduate.”
“Okay, well thank you for calling and letting me know. Take her home and drop off her car keys at the front door, please.”
“Alright. Have fun at the dentist” Eddie says, feeling awkward immediately after.
“Yeah, yeah, go take my daughter home.” Your mom says and hangs up the phone.
Eddie runs back to the cafeteria where he finds Mike and Dustin sitting across the table from you, staring with confused looks on their faces. They look up and see Eddie, and they immediately point to you with questions about to pop out of their mouths. “What’s with her?” Mike asks, his eyes drifting back and forth between you and Eddie.
“She’s been bent over like this since we got here. Has barely said a word, too.” Dustin adds, looking you over. The boys might have been crass about it, but they both had worry on their faces.
“She’s ok, menstrual pain.” The two boys scrunch up their faces in disgust, the conversation apparently now over. “You both have a girlfriend. Being sympathetic about this shit instead of disgusted will get you far in life. This attitude will not. Get over it. If you feel weird hearing about it, imagine having to go through it,” Eddie end the discussion there, avoiding their protests by tossing a loose grape from his jacket.
“Ew how long was that in there?” Mike says, getting the brunt of the toss.
“Long enough for you to deserve that.” Eddie says absentmindedly, now focused on helping you up.
He ignores them now, focused on getting you to his van. “I’m taking her home; her mom has a dentist appointment” He says as Robin gives a questioning look as you both pass the table.
“M fine, it doesn’t even hurt that bad.” You mumble, aware Eddie was taking you home.
“Go home. We’ll see you tomorrow.” Robin states, not giving you a chance to say anything against it.
More people crowd in, and Eddie helps you make your way through, arm draped casually over your shoulder, disguising the quick escape. “Sweetheart, you can barely stand. How you got to school is beyond me.”
“M stubborn.” You manage out.
Eddie laughs, glad you seem to still have a sense of humour. “I’ll say.”
Eddie helps you into his van, and somehow time seems to both fly by and crawl on at the same time as he does his very best to drive tentatively to not disturb you. He reaches your house, supporting you with one arm wrapped around your waist as you walk the path to the front door. “Where are your keys, baby?” he asks upon
attempting to open the locked door.
“My-my bag.” Another wave of pain. “It’s-” you feel the side of your hips, your bag now gone. “It’s in the van.”
“Shit,” Eddie mutters. “Stay here, stay standing.” He says it jokingly but he’s somewhat afraid he will turn around and find you curled up in a ball on your threshold. He runs to his van, gangly limbs ungraceful as he moves as fast as he can. Door, open. Bag, grabbed. He turns back around to you, relieved you aren’t a mess on the concrete. He looks through the bag, spotting the shiny keychain immediately. “Which one to open?”
“Square one.” You tell him, and Eddie fumbles with it for a moment before opening it.
Upon entering he drops your bag on the floor by the door, puts your keys on the hook as your mom requested and assists you in going up the stairs. As soon as you enter your room, you don’t need much help getting into your bed. You melt into it, your eyes closing almost immediately. Eddie watches you for a moment, his heart squeezing at the sight of you melting right into your bed. “Go to sleep.”
“Stay,” you mumble, Eddie’s arms sounding like heaven.
“Can’t. I’ll come see how you’re doing after school, ok?”
“Ok.” You wanted more than anything for Eddie to stay and wrap his arms around you but you didn’t have the physical energy to argue. You hear him laugh, the feeling of his warm hand caressing and petting your hair, helping you relax a shitload. A blanket placed over you, snug up to your shoulders as you lay a sigh of content.
Eddie remembers one thing, asking you if you needed anything from school but by the time he had turned around in the threshold in the door to your room, you’re fast asleep. He gives you one last look of pure adoration, and leaves to let you rest.
There’s a mighty want in his gut that wants to stay behind and give you comfort until you wake. Fuck, he loved how wholesome and good of a student you were but your influence was a pain in the ass.
-
Unlike the stupid ass day you had on Saturday, Robin and Steve were enjoying a slow day at work, Steve informing Keith you would be home today as soon as he could after seeing you crouched on the table. They were both leaning on the counter, Steve’s legs crossed and Robin sitting more on than against.
Steve was mentioning something about the girl he had managed to get a date with the previous week which ended up being a complete dud. “She was so cool at the store. I swear when we sat down it was like talking to a different person.”
“You’re just blind, Steve.” Robin tells him, checking her nails absentmindedly.
“Huh?” Steve asks, oblivious to her metaphor.
“Yeah. Blind. If you see a pretty girl, the idea of your chaotic love life coming to an end is enough for you to say anything in order to get a date. A date leads to a relationship, which will lead to love, which will apparently fix all your life problems. You’re blinded by it.” Robin says without blinking, still looking at her nails all the while.
Steve is almost hurt at how bluntly Robin says it as if she had analyzed him and thought about it enough to have an opinion. “You said that almost too well.”
“Steve, after once, it’s a mistake After twice, it’s on purpose. Steve at this point it’s a compulsive habit of yours.” She says, talking with finality.
Steve sighs, highkey pissed she got him on the nose. His pride would never tell her that, of course. Robin stays leant in a position that looks uncomfortable but is rather the opposite. She hears the door ring, turning towards the door as Steve goes and finds some work for idle hands has he handles being so casually roasted.
She is about to drone out and ask if she could help the new customer, but her face breaks into a smile upon seeing Eddie, walking in with his keys swinging around on his finger. “Look who the cat dragged in.” she half says to him, half shouts it to Steve.
Steve looks over, and when he sees who it is, makes his way happily back to the counter, despite wanting to remain distant from Robin. “How is she?” Steve asks.
Eddie sighs, remembering driving back to your house when he was done school, seeing your car already parked in your driveway. He climbs up the tree right next to your window, a small part in his brain remembering what your mom said but continuing anyways.
You were sat on your bed, reading a cheesy romance novel, dressed in some different clothing. There wasn’t quite a look of content, but he could tell you were already doing much better. When he knocks on the window, you look up, a big smile breaking across your face.
Eddie spent the next hour with you or so talking, you even managed to establish boundaries about what you were and weren’t allowed to discuss with friends about your shared private life. Eddie was surprised at some of your answers, both what he was and couldn’t discuss. The daddy thing was understandable on the negative side, but the slut shaming part was on the positive. When he gives you a questioning look, you shrug, claiming you didn’t think it was that big of a deal, just make them promise not to bring it up.
Eddie was clear about his rules, ix-nay on the vulnerabilities side of him, don’t mention his size in length, and don’t mention how long it went for. There were more specifics, but it was things you agreed with wholeheartedly.
After you make out for a little bit, Eddie doing his damn best at keeping his hands north and on your face, you both pull away, faces flush with shiny lips and half open eyes. “Are you feeling better?” Eddie asks, his hand going down to sooth your tummy.
“Much.” You state, relaxing at his touch. “But this will be going on for a week, so we probably won’t be doing much.” You tell him, remembering one guy rolling his eyes when you said this.
Eddie did roll his eyes, but not for the same reason. “Yeah, that’s fine. As long as I get some time with you and your beautiful face I’m down for pretty much anything.”
“Anything?” you ask, an eyebrow lifted.
“Pervert.”
Eddie left with last lingering kisses, leaves back out the window and basically went straight to Family Video.
“I went to check on her, she was a lot better, she’ll be good for tomorrow, I think.” Eddie states, and both their shoulders visibly relax. “Y’all really care about her, huh” Eddie states more than asks.
“I mean, she sa-” Robin starts to say, and Steve elbows her in the boob.
Robin looks at him, pissed. “He doesn’t know, remember?” Steve asks, under his breath.
Robin rolls her eyes, knowing keeping it a secret was a part of it, but Eddie felt so much like part of the friend group already it was like he was there last summer. “She gives us more than we deserve, and life tends to be better with her around.” Robin finishes her sentence, leading Eddie to ask why Steve elbowed her for such a silly reason.
“Are you gonna stick around, or are you heading out?” Steve asks now that the update was given. As much as he knew Eddie usually stuck around for you, he had hoped Eddie would say yes. The kindling bromance between them wasn’t once sided.
“I have one question for the both of you.” Eddie states, leaning on the counter with his hands spread out.
“Shoot.”
“Just how much do you know?”
“What do you mean?” Steve asks, eyeing Eddie up and down.
“You know what I mean. What has that little devil told you about our sex life?”
-
The next morning you woke with much less pain. There was a moment of pure bliss where you figured the cramps might’ve been gone all together.
A change of your sanitary products, a change into some closer to normal clothes than what’s been on you lately. On your way out the door your mom makes sure you’re feeling better, and Eddie’s voice saying you were lucky you had a mom who gave a shit rings in your head when you’re tempted to roll your eyes.
You pull up into the school, being greeted with the same stunning sight as you did yesterday, the lanky limbs with a mop of black hair leaning up against his van, arms crossed and eyes up across the lot to where you parked. Getting out of the car, you slam the door to your green civic honda to mimic the motions you went through yesterday.
You hit his chest with less force than yesterday, and he is much more equipped to catch you. “Morning princess. Feeling better?”
“Well, I’m still bleeding, but no more cramps.” You confirm as Eddie links his fingers into yours. He tugs you into the school, his metal tin and its containments echoing in the ever-crowding hallway. You look down to his other hand, seeing the container swinging. “No deals today?”
“Cancelled to make up for yesterday. I’ll do em before the band rehearsals for our performance.” Eddie mutters rubbing his face with his hands.
“You don’t have to move your schedule around for me like that you know. I can survive without you for an hour or two.” You say, not wanting him to resent you for it.
Eddie chuckles, the worry evident through the wrinkle between your eyebrows. “Sweetheart. I do this because I want to. No one. Maybe my uncle but that is it, can make me do shit. If I didn’t want to do something, then you would know.”
“Okay.” You say, walking with him to his table again. “So, what did you get up to last night?”
“Visited your friends at work.” He tells you, watching your face for a reaction.
Your head tilts and face shifts into what only could be described as What the fuck. “That sounds interesting,” you mutter. “How did that go?”
“I finally know what they know.” Eddie says, chewing on a thumbnail gleefully.
“Meaning?” You ask, Eddie making no sense.
“I asked what wonderful details you have given out to them.”
Oh. That.
“Are you mad?”
“Mad? Why would I be mad? I’m fucking impressed, princess. You gave away way more than I expected. Also, it helps my street cred.” You giggle at this, Eddie satisfied with making you laugh. “We have established rules, now baby. Tell them all you want to make up for their boring lives as long as it doesn’t include what we talked about.”
You nod, grabbing his hand and glad the feelings of discomfort when confiding in your close friends would disappear.
As the members of Hellfire gather around the table, you watch in real time as Eddie turns his personality on and you hold back laughter as he makes Dustin and Mike visibly wince as he starts munching on the nuts from his tin case.
Your eyes roll and you make eye contact with Gareth, who shakes his head at you almost understanding what was bubbling up in your mind. You hold your hand out to Eddie, silently asking for a nut. Chewing on one of them, an impulsive thought takes over. You let it win.
“Ow!” Mike looks to you after you toss a nut over his way. “She can throw shit at us now too?” Mike asks, looking over you.
“She can do whatever the hell she wants.” Eddie says after falling off his chair in laughter. “Granted you didn’t deserve that one, but I’ll let it slide.”
Eddie puts his arm around your shoulder and places a kiss on your temple, Dustin looking at this odd juxtaposition in dumbstruck awe.
The rest of your week goes by smoothly, Eddie opting to do book most of his deals after school to spend his mornings and lunches with you.
In a stroke of good luck, your period ends on Thursday, you call Eddie on Thursday night to talk about it but also wanting to share the good news. Not that you had any ulterior motives.
On Friday, you were torn out of sleep with Eddie between your legs, the feeling of his tongue hot on your pussy lips and clit, bringing you to a climax seconds after you wake up. He crawls up to flip the blanket off of him, a shine on his lips and a manic smile on his face as he takes in your half-lidded expression. The morning starts with Eddie railing you from behind and your face buried into the pillow to hush any moans.
Eddie drives you to school, the two of you now used to routine of him walking you to most of your classes and him having to almost convince you to go to everyone.
All week Keith has been on all your asses at work about the productivity levels that have apparently gone down. When he has the three of you sat at the counter at the store, he is obnoxiously grooling the three of you and Steve wonders why the sudden change in management techniques from him. Keith and Steve go back and forth about it until Keith gives in and tells him Corporate has been on each store manager about the lack of productivity seen in stores from costumers.
When Steve further looks into it, he discovers only one costumer reported lack of productivity in a store in Ohio, and the employee was supposedly let go immediately. Steve just looks at him with a glare on his face and says if he wants the ladies to keep coming then he’ll ignore it.
Eddie wonders into your work that night before he does his Hellfire club on that Friday, and Keith comes out from the back yelling about no boyfriends in the store. “Unless you want a job get out of my store this girl has a job to do.”
Steve grabs his hand and yanks Keith by the vest to yank him out the conversation, winking at Eddie as he does so for the grand gesture.
“Hi baby.” You say, not expecting him to come into your work that night.
“Hi. I had some time to kill before we had Hellfire tonight. I’m freaking out.” He says dramatically moving his hands as he speaks.
“About Hellfire?” you ask seeing the worry on his face and knowing right away it wasn’t the answer.
“Nah. I cooked up a campaign that will last us until January and the next one for the whole semester. These shitheads won’t know what hit them.” He sighs, mustering up the courage to tell you. “About dinner tomorrow. I don’t want to fuck this up. I have a history of self-sabotage.”
You melt into this, grabbing his hands and settling them onto the counter to soothe them. “That’s very sweet, baby. It will go fine. Not perfect, not a disaster. Just fine. That’s all we can ask for.” You shift your feet, the burning of being on them too long evident in the pain in your arches. “Just be glad my mom is the nice accepting kind because I was afraid if I admitted to liking you that she would just cast you off as a freak. Bright sides. Silver linings. All that jazz.”
Eddie follows you around as you put away the returns as to please Keith from claiming you are taking up company time. What the fuck is happening to him. You didn’t work with him often and now you had wanted to work with him even less. As the entire rack is put away, the two of you are immersed in a story Eddie is animatedly telling you as he explains one of his best campaigns he had cooked up in his first run at Senior year.
You were in the middle of giggling when the store gets a call and Steve answers, none of you thinking anything as the phone usually goes of three to four times off an hour. “Video family. Hey Dust. Yeah Eddie’s here, why. Oh shit. Yeah I’ll tell him.” He hangs up the phone. “Eddie, dude, Hellfire started 20 minutes ago.”
“Shit!” Eddie gives you a peck on the cheek and runs to the door, crazily running to the van.
You give him a look of adoration as he drives recklessly off, nearly causing a collision as he drives left back to the school.
Work ends not with a boom but with a anti climatic poof. The front door to your house closes with gusto, grabbing supper on your way up the stairs to get dressed into some cozy pajamas.
You’re bent over your desk writing an essay due for Monday, an empty bowl of supper next to you when your mom calls upstairs to let you know Eddie is on the phone. “Thanks!” You grab the phone on your bedside table. “Hi, baby.” You smile, lying back down onto the bed. “Did your club members yell at you?”
“My band members didn’t all too much care, they pretty much knew I was going to be late more frequently once I got a girlfriend. Jeff’s words. Now Dustin, Mike, and Lucas on the other hand weren’t all that impressed. Mike has one hell of a glare on that scrawny little face of his.” Eddie says, shuddering.
“I tried to keep my eye on the time, baby but you’re just so hot it was too damn distracting.” You admit unashamedly, your eyes closing as the exhaustion of your day catches up to you.
“You cut that shit out or I’m coming over and I don’t care how loud we are.” Eddie mutters, the depth of his voice sending shivers down your spine.
Your fingers itch to float down to your centre, to play with yourself just a little bit as you listen to your boyfriend’s gruff voice. However you couldn’t risk your over bearing mother listening over the phone. “Baby you cut it out. I have half a mind to use my fingers right now.”
Eddie’s head rocks back unconsciously, the sound of lust evident in your voice and he’s ready to risk it all. “Fuck. We need to move this conversation back to family friendly baby or I won’t be able to hold back anymore. So. What time you want me to come for dinner tomorrow?”
“Come for 6.”
“Shit, that’s an early dinner.” Eddie mutters, he usually doesn’t eat it until 8 or 9.
“When you have functional parents, it’s not.” You giggle.
“Fuck you.” He says, no real meaning behind it.
“See you tomorrow night, baby.”
-
As you’re helping your mom prepare the last-minute details of supper there’s a knock on the door, the anxiety that has been bubbling in your stomach finally coming to a peak. “I’ll get it!”
You run to the door, your mom and dad coming closely behind you. You open it, seeing Eddie Munson looking as he did two weeks ago for your date, only his hair is groomed better, as if Wayne had helped him and his shirt tucked into his pants. Who the hell was this man and where was your boyfriend? “I’m sorry I’m waiting for my boyfriend, have you seen him?” you joke as you tilt onto your tip toes to look over his shoulder.
“Shut up.” Eddie chuckles, yanking you into his arms.
The hug lasts only two seconds, Eddie opening his eyes to see your mom looking at the two of you fondly while your dad looks uncomfortable. He rips out of your arms, remembering as his uncle had told him to keep any physical affection to a minimum until he knows they like him.
You place his arm over your shoulder, looking at him as he looks wide eyed at your parents. His half open mouth, the doe yes, the heavy breathing of his chest is an indication that he was really nervous. You found it hard to comprehend how someone could be this cute.
“Hi, Mr. and Mrs. L/N. Nice to formally meet both of you, I look forward to getting to know you and proving how much I truly care about your daughter.” Eddie says, his voice higher in both nerves and editing himself.
Your mom looks to you where he can’t see, mouthing ‘wow’ over his shoulder. You couldn’t wait to tell him about that. “Well, Eddie,” she says, grabbing his arm to move the four of you to the kitchen. “I have already gotten to know you and I am impressed with what I know so far, I can tell you that much.”
Your dad sits at the head of the table, your mom on one side and the two of you sitting side by side on the other. “Well I know nothing so I better be impressed.” Your dad says gruffly.
You and your mom make eye contact, both pairs widening in a yikes. Your dad could be incredibly intimidating but he tended to be a teddy bear when you got to know him.
Rolling your eyes, you rub his hand comfortingly under the table. “We should eat then, right?” You ask, staring at the dishes you made, wondering if it was too much. It looked like thanksgiving.
“Right. Go ahead. Grab some dishes. Enjoy. We made a lot of food tonight. Y/N was almost a bit too controlling over it all.” Your mom jokes, grabbing some mashed potatoes.
You feel your cheeks heat up, silently signalling and begging your mom to stop. “I was not controlling. I was whatever cute adjective that is not controlling.”
“Cute.” Your dad mutters, nearly gagging on the word.
“You’re not controlling. Wheeler is controlling.” Eddie mumbles, his eyes widening at her harsh tones when Mike wouldn’t leave Hellfire on time.
“Okay, let’s get passed this,” your mom sighs, moving the steamed vegetables across the table to you. “Eddie. What are your parents like?”
“Mom.”
“What? It’s an innocent question!”
Eddie laughs, scooping himself some of the meat options on the table. “It’s fine, baby. My parents are not around anymore. My dad got arrested for grand theft auto and embezzling money from his auto shop and my mom took off when I was young.” Your mom sighs at this, her hand on her chest. “It’s fine. My uncle has raised me since I was nine, and he’s a better dad and mom to me than they ever were. I got lucky.” He says the last two words facing you, looking fond as his eyes remain contact with you.
“What does your uncle do for work?” Your mom asks, starting to cut her meat on the plate.
“Oh, he works nights at the plant. He took night shifts once he realized he could use it to make sure I got to school on time this year.”
“Munson, right? Uh, Wayne?” your dad asks gruffly, talking with his mouth half open.
“Yeah. That’s him.” Eddie confirms.
Your dad has the decency to swallow his food before opening his mouth to talk again. “Yeah, I know him. Hard worker. Doesn’t say much.” There’s a pause, and Eddie forgets to eat as he watches your dad finish his next bite. “Why I like him.” Your dad jokes, a smile on his face as he looks up at Eddie.
You breathe a sigh of relief. Your dad liking someone’s parent is usually what leads to him liking their kid. Even if they’re not technically theirs. “This is good news.” You mutter to Eddie, leaning into him. “He’ll be a lot less harsh if he likes who raised you.”
“You’re repeating your senior year, yeah?” Your mom asks, taking a drink of her water.
“Uh, not something I’m necessarily proud of, but yeah.” Eddie stutters out, choking on a half-eaten piece of mashed potato and drinking water to wash it down.
“Don’t worry. No judgement. Just trying to understand you more.” Your mom reassures him. “You have any understanding as to why?”
Eddie shrugs. “Uh, I haven’t really put too much thought into it. I find it hard to read sometimes, the words tend to jump all over the page. I find it terribly hard to even concentrate on what I’m reading for more than five minutes, especially if I don’t like the subject. Math was easy to pass first try but I’m still struggling to get passed world geography and gym.”
You haven’t really asked Eddie as to why he hasn’t passed, figuring it was rude. You had half a mind to scold your mom for asking but your curiosity out shone your manners. “You didn’t have to share but that was very kind.” Your mom comments, giving you a small smile. “Your girlfriend tells us you have a band. C-cor-something coffin. Tell us more about that.”
As you clean the dishes side by side with him, you are washing and him drying, you thank your lucky stars, God, karma, whoever oversaw everything up there that everything seemed to align to make tonight go off without a hitch.
Your dad liking Uncle Wayne? Your mom not passing judgement on the status of Eddie’s high school diploma? Eddie telling a story and both laughing? What were the odds?
“Is it me or are you scared of how well tonight went?” Eddie whispers after the two of you work in silence.
Your breath hitches, and you lean back. “I was literally just thinking the same thing.”
Eddie laughs, bumping his hips into yours.
He grabs his wet hands into yours, drying them with the t-towel he was currently using to dry off the dishes. He backs you up and hoists you onto the counter, you anxiously looking at the living room to see if either one of your parents could tell anything was off about your silence. Eddie takes your lips into his, placing himself in between your legs. He licks the bottom lip, and you hesitantly allow his tongue into your mouth, mini whimpers escaping, no louder than the sound of your dad coughing in the next room.
“We can’t. Not in the kitchen.” You whimper, clutching onto his nice ironed white shirt.
“Oh, I wasn’t going to fuck you in the kitchen darling. I have more restraint than that.” He whispers, rubbing his thumb on your cheek.
He sighs, and you feel the atmosphere turning strangely wholesome for how much of his tongue was in your mouth. “I just needed to tell you something. Something that just can’t get out my brain right now. I got high last night, and this thought just took over me and I nearly combusted in stress over it.”
“Okay.” You say nervously. “What?”
Eddie leans back to investigate the living room, your mom and dad laughing at a rerun of The Price is Right. “I am not in love with you.” Ouch. This sentence fucking nails you in the heart and Eddie watches as you become crest fallen. “Let me finish my fucking sentence, sweetheart. I am not in love with you. But I am for damn sure falling in love with you.”
Your heart skips a beat and an involuntary smile breaks onto your face. “Really?”
“Mmhmm.” Eddie feels less nervous about confessing upon seeing your face light back up again. “Everything I learn about you makes me fall even more head over heels for you, which is wild. After watching my parents’ marriage fail at the ripe old age of 4, I was hesitant to fall in love with someone. You could almost call me cynical. Yet here you are. So, I’m not ready to say it yet. Hell, it’s only three weeks in so I would be scared if I did. But when I do, I will mean it to high heavens and high hell.”
You smile, these nearly poetic words of Eddie’s almost confession enveloping you in a heated and warm hug. “I’m falling in love with you, too, Ed.” You confess, yanking him into your arms.
He tugs you off the counter, you lifted off the ground for a solid minute until he lets you go. When you finally look at your surroundings, you notice how many dishes you still need to clean. “Shit. We still need to clean unless we want to be here until 10.”
“As long as I’m with you.” Eddie says, then winces at his own line.
“You are extra cheesy tonight. So, you still haven’t told me something, Ed.” You tell him, handing a plate over.
He takes it and starts his drying again. “What’s that, princess?”
“What are we being for Halloween?” You ask, handing over a China dish carefully.
Eddie grabs it roughly, your breath hitching when he nearly drops it. “I thought about it. Very carefully mulled over it until the perfect idea came to me on Monday when I talked to Robin and Steve.”
“Oh no,” you grimace, fearing the worst.
“Angel and Devil.”
“You’re the Devil and I’m an Angel?” You ask, exasperated. “That’s so cliché! I expected better from you, Ed.”
“Oh, sweetheart. I didn’t say who’s who, did I?” “Meaning?” you ask, resting your hands on the sink as you wait for him to explain.
“Find yourself some horns, cause you’re the devil, and I’m the angel.” Eddie reveals, a big crazy grin on his face.
Oh.
“I-I like it,” you say, looking up at him and leaning in for a kiss. “Nice job, baby.”
“See? I’m fuckin smart.”
-
Halloween in 1985 is on a Friday, lucky fucking seniors. Steve Harrington has some words about this, seeing as his senior year’s Halloween was on a Thursday.
You, Eddie, Nancy, Robin, and the rest of the seniors at Hawkins High spent all week buzzing about the upcoming holiday. Sure, some think Halloween is invented by the candy companies to make more money, but no senior can deny the value of getting absolutely wasted at Steve Harrington’s house. When you’re a young child the very appeal of Halloween comes from the free candy and running amok the neighbourhoods, but to a horny teen in rural Hawkins, Indiana in 1985 the appeal is free alcohol and many rooms to hook up at the Harrington’s. The incentive to have a sickening costume and have genuine excitement for the holiday.
On Monday you and Eddie drive over to the local costume shop to grab your costumes, giggling as Eddie suggests you be a sexy witch, or even worse, a sexy pig. How the hell is that even sexy anyway?
When the two of you go to the front desk with the costumes landing with a soft plop, the front counter girl giving you two a one up as she witnesses the downright irony of the freak of Hawkins High being an angel for Halloween. “Please tell me you are going to Harrington’s party.” She says, entering the prices into her computer.
“Yep.” Eddie says, giving you a look.
“Thank God. I cannot wait to see the Freak dressed in all white as a fucking angel.” She giggles, excitedly placing your costumes in a plastic bag.
Eddie grabs your hand, holding you back from swinging at her for outright insulting your boyfriend. “Not worth it. She means well.” He whispers, then giving her a fake smile and tugging you toward the door.
On Friday during lunch Eddie announces that for one time and one time only he is cancelling Hellfire for Halloween, claiming he doesn’t have any time to go to the party and lead Hellfire.
Of course, he was met with groans of how hypocritical he was and how lame it was to cancel Hellfire when it fell perfectly on a Friday. He didn’t care, smirking at you across the cafeteria as he places his two pointer fingers on his head to mimic a devil. You place your hands together as if you were an angel in response, igniting laughter out of him.
This leads to you standing in front of your mirror tugging on the short yet leathery red dress you were wearing, your fingers rubbing against the bright red nail polish you wore. You self consciously rub your tummy, the dress much lower cut than you had expected. Your hair was teased and curled, sprayed into oblivion as you knew the devil horns was going to get all tangled up in your hair.
The plastic tail that came with the horns occasionally brushed up against your legs, something you weren’t used to. You wore red flats as to not hurt your feet through the night, your eyeshadow a bright red blended out to your brows to high heavens and your lipstick glossy and ruby red. This was as good as it was gonna get.
You went downstairs, your mom offering you a ride, so you didn’t drive, Eddie getting a ride from Wayne for the same reasons. “You look amazing!” Your mom shouts, causing you to shy look at your feet as she looks at you in a new way.
“Is Eddie going as a devil, too?” She asks as she grabs the keys. The two of you walk to her small car, a car she bought for herself when she was no longer driving you around anymore in a big van.
“No,” you say, keeping your knees awkwardly together as you get into the car. “He’s an angel.”
“Funny.” Your mom deadpans, rolling her eyes as she rolls out of the driveway.
You pull up to the party a half hour late, basically on time for Steve’s parties. You saw a few groups of people making their way up the driveway of Steve’s massive house, the sight of it feeling almost alien as you’re now used to the quiet of his parents out of town and you, Robin and Steve hanging out in his living room.
She drops you off, making a half a joke about staying safe, but you heard the truth behind it. “Love you!” you call, waddling over to the front door.
You hear the music as soon as you get out of your mom’s car, hearing the loud voice of Whitney Houston asking to dance with somebody. Reaching the wide-open front door, the heat of the house already radiating from the dancing teens hitting you as you walk in. You almost regretted wearing faux leather now. You scanned the room, seeing Steve and Robin in the corner. Steve was dressed as Peter Pan and Robin as Tinkerbelle. Her outfit wasn’t nearly as revealing as the blonde cartoon character, but it was clear from the green shirt and cargo pants with the fairy wings on her back and glitter on her face she was Tinkerbelle. “Hi Peter!” you say, shouting over the music.
“Oh, shit!” Steve says as he gives you a one-up at your red and daring get up. “You look.” He gives a look to Robin and manages to gain the breath you took away from him. “I think Eddie will cream his pants on the spot let’s just say that.”
“I hope not I want to wait until we get to one of the rooms.” You joke and turn towards the counter where red solo cups are sitting pretty waiting for new consumers.
Steve leans back in exasperation, mad at his dick for betraying him. “Okay, well I’m gonna have a drink, did you want something?”
“Hell no,” you mutter, grabbing your own. “Last time you mixed me a vodka soda you nearly made me tipsy one drink in.”
“That was the goal!” He yells, laughing as the vodka glugs into his cup.
“So, where’s Wendy?” you ask, yet understanding the irony of their costumes and why Robin isn’t dressed as Wendy for the night.
“Oh, she’s my date!” Steve says, nodding his chin over towards a girl in brown hair dressed in a blue pajama dress that was only down to her thighs. “Brittany, you’ll meet her later! You’re gonna love her, I promise!”
“Can’t wait!” you say unenthusiastically, already having met many of Steve’s latest dates. You mix your own drink, knowing Steve will let you drink any of his alcohol.
You dance absentmindedly to Thriller, your eyes rolling as it plays at a Halloween party. By the time song #6 plays and your inhibitions are somewhat already gone, you’ve gone through two drinks and can feel some the affects of alcohol affecting your system.
You have your hand with the drink up in the air, side stepping to the beat now in a circle with Steve, Robin, and Brittany, and suddenly you feel an arm snake around your midriff. “Hi, my sexy little devil,” you hear low in your left ear.
You have half a mind to tell the mysterious man to back off because you had an awesome boyfriend who would kick his ass, but your train of thought was stopped in its tracks when it was him. Eddie was there, two arms laid on your shoulders, and you take in Eddie dressed in all his angelic glory. He had his hair slicked back into a ponytail, a white button-down shirt and a white pair of paints with a halo head band resting on his gelled up hair and a small pair of angel wings on his back. To top it off, he had some glitter on his cheek bones, and the only thing you see that’s normal about your boyfriend is his rings. Thank God he’s still wearing the rings.
“Jesus, who are you and where is Eddie Munson?” you ask, your words partially slurred. “Is that glitter on your cheeks?”
Eddie laughs at your slurred speech, astounded you were already so intoxicated. “One of my bandmembers LARPS in his free time, he has way more glitter than you could imagine.”
Your face is awestruck to this information. “That’s very resourceful of you.”
Eddie laughs, walking over to the table to pour himself a drink. He looks up anxiously, wondering if any of his classmates were giving him dirty looks. So far, so good. He pours too much baileys into a coke, wanting to get on your level, so to speak. “Well, give me ten minutes, ok? I need to catch up.”
“Ten minutes? Good luck with that.”
Ten minutes later, the two of you are dancing in the living room, both of your cares gone. He was right. It only took ten minutes for him to get as drunk as you were, but by the time he got there, you were another drink and a half in, your drunk competitiveness shining through. He has his arm wrapped around you and if he was sober enough to care he would blanch at the pop songs that seem to be exclusively playing through the speakers, but he only knew the beat and his thigh placed between your legs as you two grinded.
You can’t tell how much time goes by as you’re lost in the beat with him, noting the sweat gathering on his forehead and the light pain burning into your thighs as you stay half bent for a good while. You were lost with his hands placed on your ass when you hear from someone, loud and clear. “Why is the freak here? When Harrington said the rules, I didn’t think he was being serious! God, I don’t want to see that shit!”
Eddie, in his drunken haze is pulled out of the intoxication that was your body against his and scans the room quickly to find Steve going through his tapes. “Harrington!” He calls, his arm leaving your waist as he stumbles across. “Harrington!”
By this time, Steve Harrington is also drunk and, in his haze, had to keep his eyes from roaming to you across the room desperately grinding on what he wished was thigh, but was Eddie’s. Shit was getting complicated, and he was not a big fan. “Uh yeah?”
“You said point, ya? Point and they’re gone?” Eddie clarifies before making a fool out of himself.
It takes a moment for Steve to comprehend what Eddie was going on about. “Uh, yeah. Point, and they’re banned.”
Eddie points dramatically across the room to where one of the jocks was chatting up a girl dressed as a bunny (predictable) and raises is eyebrows at Steve.
“Oh! Shit, Okay gotchya.” Steve walks as confidently as he can over to the jock, even in his own drunken and confused haze, and grabs the over towering jock by the shoulder. “Get out.”
“Wait, what?” He asks, turning to face Steve.
“Get. Out.” Steve says, pointing to the door. “You knew the rules. You even so much as look at Munson wrong, you’re out. Out!”
“You were serious about that shit? He and his little slut girlfriend were grinding all over the room, you expect me to not say anything about that? Bullshit!” He yells, making a big scene.
Eddie saw red as soon as he heard him call you a slut. Yeah, he calls you a slut all the time, but that was for his enjoyment alone. He runs across the room to him, and his hands are in fists ready to throw punches.
“Hey!” Steve yells, pushing him lightly off the bewildered jock. “Let me handle this.” He looks back to the jock and holds back his own want to pummel him into the dirt. Steve doesn’t have good track record with picking fights, but each time it was for a noble cause, and this sounds noble enough. “Get the fuck out of my house. No more hook up parties for Bongo.”
Steve has a few other friends of his that were his age help him yank the asshole outside, now much easier with the help.
“This is almost too much power.” Eddie mumbles as people are no longer shooting him anything remotely close to a dirty look. He glances to you, and your arms are now across your stomach, and you’re hunched over. “Hey.” He mutters, too drunk for this he decides as he tries to calm you down.
“Hi.” You whisper, the gloss of a tear forming in your eye. “Does everyone think I’m a slut? Is that why you call me one?”
Fuck. Eddie shushes you, pulling you into his arms. “No, no. He’s an asshole with asshole opinions. I call you one because I thought it would be sexy and fun. I only call you one when we’re both enjoying each other, yeah?”
“Oh. Okay. Can we get more drinks?” You ask, missing the buzz you lost from the adrenaline of watching your boyfriend defend your honour.
“Sure, baby.”
The two of you down two more drinks each, ending up on Steve’s couch as Steve is telling a story about something that happened in the pool, he worked at with a shithead kid. “I’m telling you! This kid lived to make trouble. I had to beg our manager to let me ban him, but every time Don would come for evidence the kid was a fucking, well Eddie I guess.”
You and Eddie giggle as well as the ones who were listening to him. Logically, there’s no possibility you should be able to hear him with the music still bursting through the speakers. Yet, there were about nine or ten of you gathered on the couch and you could hear every word. You were sat on Eddie’s lap, stroking his hair, however gelled and gross it may feel while you were sober. You didn’t care.
Steve wrapped up his story, talking quietly to Brittany and Robin. You barely had spoken to Brittany all night like Steve had promised, but from the “eeugh” looks he kept giving Robin about what she would say you guessed you wouldn’t be getting to know her anyways.
You looked at your boyfriend, and noticed his brown eyes were turned downward at your red (smeared) lips. “See something you like, handsome?” you ask, voice low and feeling his boner underneath your thighs.
“I see a lot of what I like.” He mutters, and you swear in your drunken haze he is slowly getting closer to you. You feel your eyes close, and Eddie’s lips are on yours, his tongue forcing it’s way into your mouth, feeling electric as you move to straddle him. He kisses you with fervour, his hands finding their way frantically into your wild and teased hair.
Your hips grinds itself to his, and you hear a wolf whistle coming from a couch cushion right next to you. You look over, your red lips even more smeared and Eddie has his own share of it on his.
“Get a room.” Robin states, still only lightly buzzed and sipping out of her red solo cup. “Seriously I don’t wanna see this. Go.”
You look at Eddie, his lipstick-covered lips barely even registering to you, you’re too fucking horny and drunk for that to even register. You grab his hand and tug him up the stairs. You knock on three doors, each one of them someone yells out it’s occupied. Finally, you get to the one at the end of the hall, and no one answers when you knock.
You hesitate to open, scared to see some live action porn but Eddie opens it for you, impatient, and wanting your devil costume on the floor. He shuts it behind you and thank God there’s a fucking bed in here. The lack of light is providing a vision impairment, but you didn’t really care, your lips latched onto his like the answer to world peace is in the back of his throat. You frantically start unbuttoning his shirt, your intoxicated fingers stumbling through each one. You’re on the last button when Eddie rips off his shirt, the button rolling across the hardwood floor. He reaches behind you, unzipping your dress and letting it slide down your waist.
You step out of your costume, the tail going with it. You reach up to take out your horns but Eddie places his hand on your wrist, stopping you. “Wear them. They’re hot.” Eddie mumbles, leaning in to kiss down your neck.
“Does that mean you wear your halo?” You ask, giggling as you look at the sparkly overpriced pipe cleaner.
“How am I supposed to eat you out with this on?” He asks, pushing you to guide you towards the four postered bed. He hanks the halo off, tossing it with the busted button.
You lie down on the bed, your legs spread showing the lacy black panties you wore and the strapless bra for the strappy dress. You shivered in anticipation to what he was going to do to you, your chest heaving.
“Roll onto your stomach, baby.” He mutters. When you silently listen to his command, he slaps your ass lightly, causing a moan to escape your mouth. “That’s my good girl.” He slips your panties down your ass, and you hear his belt buckle and fly being zipped down. “Daddy is gonna fuck you for a little bit then I will make you cum, okay baby?”
Eddie slips into you, bottoming out with no time to let you adjust. “Holy shit, baby, you are so wet.” He mutters, already starting to thrust into you slowly. “Are you all revved up, my little devil?”
You nod, but Eddie barely sees as your face is pushed into the pillow, headbanded devil horns slightly too rough against your scalp. “C’mon tell me with your words.”
You lift your head, forced to use your hand as support. “Was so horny. You look so fucking hot. I love your cock, daddy, feels so good.”
“Love your fucking pussy, baby. So pretty, so tight, so wet, just for daddy. Fucking love my little slut’s pussy.” In Eddie’s mind he cannot stop thinking how much your wet heat just feels so good around him. He needs a taste, wanted to be drunk on your greedy little cunt. Without warning you his cock leaves your pussy, and he gives you a big lap down your pussy lips. “Holy shit, baby. Your pussy tastes,” he pauses, giving another lick to your wet slick. “Fucking good. Oh my god.”
Eddie’s tongue contacting your pussy sends pleasure waves down your body, despite your intoxication. You lean back into the pillow, moaning loudly so no one in the next rooms can hear you. Even with the pillow muffling you, he can hear you loud and clear, digging into it like a man starved. He wraps his ring-clad fingers around your thighs, grabbing onto them harshly.
As Eddie gets into your pussy and takes in every drop he can possibly swallow and you hike your ass up more and moan louder into the pillow, neither of you hear a heavy set of footsteps walking down the hall and closer and closer to the unlocked door.
If you did hear what was transpiring, you would hear Steve Harrington knocking on his bedroom door, wondering if any of the couples had made his way into the room. He heard faint moaning, but he was too drunk to understand it had come from the other side of his door. He opened the door, seeing no light on and no other reason to think anyone was in there and walked on in, only to stop dead in his tracks. The sight of you bent over the very pillows his head was leant on thinking about you with his cock in his hand last week caused his already slight hard on to get harder, the sight of Eddie eating you out doing nothing to help his situation. He knew he had a light attraction to Eddie, something he had put off for years, but the sight of the two of you so emersed in it not to even notice him had him gawking in his doorway.
Eddie places his thumb on your clit, slowly rotating it on your swollen bud and Steve sees as your thighs tense up immensely and you can barely support yourself on your knees. Eddie moves his head back to rub his two fingers on your folds, watching as they caused more slick to gush out of your folds. Eddie is so entranced by his fingers against your pussy, he suddenly notices the light from the hallway and a very specific shadow in the doorway.
He looks back over his shoulder to see Steve Harrington, slips his two fingers into you, your ass hiking up in response. “Oh shit!” You yell into the pillow are oblivious to any light cascaded onto the bed.
“Hi.” Eddie mutters, fucking his fingers into you and shooting a darkened glance to Steve, who was unashamedly watching his limber fingers moving. He looks down to where Steve is watching and smirks. “She’s pretty, ain’t she?” he asks, licking his lips as he switches his glance between the two of you.
“Y-yeah.” Steve mutters, his hand moving to palm himself in his green Peter Pan costume. “Very pretty.”
“You wanna taste?” Eddie asks, somewhere a sober version of him asking what the fuck he was doing, but his inhibitions already flown away and not coming back until tomorrow.
“U-uh, what?” He asks, making sure he heard Eddie right.
“Her pretty little pussy. You wanna taste?” Eddie says and leans in to give a long stripe of wet up your folds.
“D-daddy feels so good.” You should in the pillow still unaware your pussy was on full display for the man who you’ve been accidentally dreaming about for a week.
“Holy shit.” Steve mumbles. He looks at Eddie and nods his head, and Eddie is suddenly put into action. He moves you easily so you’re on your back, and when you face the light and the man silhouette in front of you, your eyes take a moment to adjust to him.
Suddenly Steve’s presence is known by you, and you want to close your legs in embarrassment despite Eddie still having two of his fingers fucking into you. “Baby.” He says, crawling up your body. “Can Steve have a taste?”
“Wh-what?” you stutter, starting at Steve who was palming himself and staring openly at between your legs. Despite your protests, Eddie feels your pussy gush and become wetter at the sight of Steve, and he understands your body wants what is immoral to have while you are dating him.
“Can Steve taste this nice wet little pussy of yours?” He asks kissing your neck to butter you up. “I felt you get wetter at seeing him look at you. It’s okay if you want it.”
“Yes.” You whisper, afraid he would get mad at you and claim to set you up as a test.
“C’mon, Stevie.” Eddie grabs him and reaches in to kiss Steve harshly on the lips, his tongue colliding with Steve’s as soon as they start kissing, Steve starting to lead him, noting the lack of experience and confidence in kissing someone besides you for the first time. You watch them make out, your fingers latching onto your clit and rubbing it as you Steve and Eddie get lost in each other, Eddie palming Steve as Steve moans loudly.
“C’mon, have a taste.” Eddie mutters, grabbing Steve’s hand and escorting him to sit in-between your legs.
Steve needs no more encouragement. You shiver in anticipation as you had heard the stories of Steve’s expert tongue for the last two years, both from Nancy and the girls he had slept with when he realized nothing else was there for him.
He leans in with more confidence than Eddie, his tongue longer and wider in size. He licks a long stripe up your pussy, licking onto your clit hard, causing a red heat to burst from it and down your thighs. You hike your legs up and around his head, the shaking of your thighs uncontrollable and the moans from your mouth loud and sinful.
Steve’s hand makes it way up your body, latching underneath your bra and grabbing your nipple. “You taste so goddamn good.” He sighs, his hot breath erotic on your puffy pussy lips. “Way better than I even imagined.”
You open your eyes to see Steve’s eyelashes fanned across his cheeks, fully immersed in the taste and feeling of you. You look up to face your boyfriend who was jerking himself off at the sight of you and Steve together. “You have no idea, Stevie. Wait until she squirts all over your fucking face. There’s nothing like it.”
“Can’t fucking wait.” Steve’s other thumb makes its way into your asshole, something Eddie has never even thought to do.
“Oh my god” you squeal, your eyes opening wide in response. “Stevie feels so fucking good.”
Eddie makes his way to one side of the bed, his cock right by your face. “Suck on my cock, princess.”
You reach out, jerking him off and tugging him towards your mouth. Eddie pushes his cock into your mouth, fucking your throat slowly as you can feel a slow heat start to creep from your stomach and through your legs. “Holy shit, that mouth of yours you suck so well.” Eddie mutters, keeping eye contact with Steve lapping up the juices coming out of you faster.
Your hole puckers around Steve’s thumb, it takes time to adjust. He feels your hole start to cling onto it, as if begging Steve’s thumb to creep further in. “Little cunt is very greedy.” Steve comments as he starts to fuck his tongue into your pussy hole.
The raw feeling of Eddie’s cock fucking now relentlessly into your mouth, Steve’s thumb in your ass and his tongue fucking into you became too much to bear. “Oh shit.” You whimper around Eddie’s cock. “I’m close”
“Is she allowed to cum, yet Stevie?” Eddie asks, placing his ring-clad fingers in your hair harshly against your scalp.
“Has she been good?” Steve asks, huffing as he can feel your stomach tighten up and your legs tense.
“Such a good fucking girl.” Eddie mutters, still fucking your throat. You can start to feel tears threaten to fall down your face from the feeling of his cock becoming too much in your mouth and your jaw start to hurt.
“Okay.” Steve mutters, sounding almost bored, the very tone almost hurting your feelings as you’re so fucking overwhelmed by everything they’re giving you. Steve sucks on your clit harshly, the familiar feeling of a heat spreading from your clit, through your stomach and floating into your head and the same little voice tells you to let go. You gush all over Steve’s face, moaning around Eddie’s cock and careful not to bite down on how good it feels.
Steve licks his mouth, not expecting you to squirt on him right from the get-go, but loving the feeling nonetheless. “Holy shit. Ed, you were right. Nothing like it. I’m gonna fuck her now.”
“Tell me how the slut’s pussy feels, Stevie.”
Steve asks Eddie to bring his cock out of your mouth and yanks your ass, so your back is now right on top of your stain you made on Steve’s bed. “Oh, I will.” Steve brings his pants down to his ankles, and you drool at the sight of his cock. It’s bigger than what you were accustomed to with Eddie, but the very image of it made you pray he would put it into your mouth.
Steve lines himself up to your pussy, the slick from your squirting making you wet enough for him to slide right in. Your jaw drops as he enters, Eddie jerking himself off from the sight of it. Steve leans down to finally kiss you, and you attempt to lead him like you’re used to but quickly get scolded into Steve leading you. He expertly uses his tongue on yours, bucking his hips harshly against yours all the while, not stopping to do either one like Eddie might do sometimes.
“Jesus,” you mutter, your mouth hanging open as you can’t concentrate on kissing him.
Steve stops his movements. “Kiss me. You can do it, baby. Keep kissing me.” You do what he says, moans coming from a guttural place in the back of this throat as his holds his hand around your neck.
Eddie comes up beside you after watching this, almost perfectly content in this threesome becoming a twosome with him watching from the corner. “Baby I’m gonna fuck your ass.” You nod at him, letting go of Steve’s kiss and reaching for the familiarity of Eddie’s. “Gonna fuck you so good.”
Steve gets up, knowing Eddie won’t be able to properly fuck you if he’s lying on top of you. You whine at the loss of Steve’s cock, but he barely gives you a chance to even revel in the feeling of it. He grabs you by the hand, yanks you off his bed without any effort. The blanket is torn off as well, now covered in your slick, but he just wanted the light sheets instead of his heavy comforter.
Steve lies down, getting you to crawl on top of him. “Put my cock in your pussy so Eddie can fuck that tight little asshole of yours, baby.” Steve commands, soft and barely showing that any of this is affecting him like you and Eddie both desperately are. You do as he asks, lying so your ass is perfectly in perfect aim for Eddie to slide into and sinking down onto his cock. “That’s a good girl. Now Ed slide into that little asshole of hers.”
“Does she need lube or anything?” Eddie asks, watching and jerking himself absentmindedly as he watches you get fucked from below. He gets to fuck you every day if he wants to, but he never gets to see you get fucked quite like this.
“Oh my god you really were a virgin.” Steve says, hearing your moans loud in his ear as he continues to fuck you. “No just spit on that little hole and ram into her, she’ll adjust fine.”
Eddie listens, licking your asshole for a few moments, spitting generously onto it. You can feel him lining his nice cock to your second hole, and you close your eyes, excited to be filled by both men who have been in your fantasies in recent years. Eddie barely gives you time to register the head of his cock in your hole when he continues in, and you feel so full.
Full is a word, but it barely describes it. You are so filled to the brim that your body shakes and convulses, Steve stopping his movements to let you adjust to the feeling. “How’s that feel, baby?” Steve asks, looking in awe at your pleasure-stricken face. You open your mouth to respond, but nothing comes out. You lean onto Steve’s body, his nipples peaked as one of your pinkies tugs onto it with out realizing. “Baby is so cock drunk she can’t even speak.” Steve comments, looking over your shoulder to see Eddie.
“Oh, she’s not that dumbed out on cock is she, Stevie?” Eddie asks, waiting until Steve tells him to start fucking you.
Steve chuckles, leaning in to kiss your neck with little kitten licks in between each bite. “Let’s find out.”
Steve’s hips start moving and Eddie takes it as the go ahead. If you thought you felt full before, it was nothing compared to the two men’s cock moving in sync, your mouth opening involuntarily at the overwhelming, all intoxicating pleasure they were thrusting into you. Every part of your body, every inch of your skin was covered in fire. You couldn’t even tell if you were close again or not because your body has never felt this good. Steve notices the slack jaw of yours, and places who of his fingers inside your mouth. “Aw, poor baby.”
“How’s her pussy, Stevie?” Eddie’s gruff voice asks, and by the look of his mixed-up face and stuttering thrusts Steve can tell he’s already close.
“Fucking fantastic. You should see her face. All fucked out. Never seen such a pretty little face.” He compliments you, bringing his spare hand to frame your face, tangling his hands in your teased hair. “Fuck you looked so fucking hot tonight. Whoever told you to dress like a devil I wanna fucking kiss them”
“Already did, Stevie.” Eddie chuckles, doing his best to hold back from cumming but doing a terrible job on his face.
“Eddie, you need to cum, baby?” Steve asks, absentmindedly continuing to fuck you.
“Mmhm.” He mutters, his hands fierce on your hips and even you can tell he’s really holding back in your dazed out brain.
“Then cum.” Eddie stops resisting, and shoots his cum right into your ass, a heavier load than you have ever received from him. Steve stops thrusting too, kissing you as Eddie finishes shooting his gooey white substance into you. “How is our fucked out little baby?” Steve asks, looking at you with half lidded eyes.
“Mm. Good.” You mumble kissing Steve back with more energy and enthusiasm than you knew you had in you still.
Steve sits up, silently commanding Eddie to leave your ass as he takes his own cock out of your pussy. “I’m going to eat you out and Eddie is going to suck on my cock,” he looks at Eddie, “and swallow every drop. Understood?”
“Yes.” Eddie says, already somewhat hard from being ordered like this.
“Good boy.” Steve moves the three of you effortlessly so he’s lying down on the bed, you’re sitting on his face, and Eddie is sucking his cock. You sit on Steve so you’re facing your boyfriend, watching as he’s jerking Steve off and about to suck a cock for the first time. “Has Eddie ever sucked cock before?” Steve asks, noting the hesitation.
“No.” You answer for him, watching as the same wonder you had staring at Eddie’s cock is on Eddie’s face.
“Baby, be a good girl and teach him, will ya?” Steve asks, latching his tongue onto your pussy lips without a second’s hesitation.
“O-okay,” you whimper, the feeling of Steve’s expert tongue already sending you fast over the edge. You take a moment to reel the heat spreading from your sensitive pussy, not sent over the edge from the double penetration but almost too fucked out to understand if you were.
“Teach him.” Steve barks out, running out of patience.
“Sorry.” You whimper. You look to your boyfriend, who looks up at you for all the answers. You sucked his cock well after all. “Okay. Take-ah” you take a moment to whimper as Steve rewards you by sucking onto your clit. “Take his cock into your mouth but be careful of your teeth. I don’t bite, but I do use my teeth to suck on your cock harder.” You whimper, Steve now building a slow rhythm as a reward. “Fuck, Steve,”
Eddie tentatively starts sucking on Steve’s cock, his cheeks hollowing out, copying something he saw from you, and understanding what you meant by not using your teeth to bite but to suck. As soon as he has the feeling of Steve’s big cock in his mouth, he looks to you for more help.
“Bob your head up and down but roll it almost for a really good rhythm.” You teach him more, as the coil starts to form in the pit of your stomach from both the feeling of Steve eating you out unapologetically and watching Eddie work hard on pleasing Steve. Teaching Eddie led to Steve moaning, which lead to a vibration being sent up your pussy. Steve’s hips start to move on their own accord, and you watch as Eddie struggles to regain his rhythm. “Eddie, let him fuck your throat. As soon as your hips start moving, I let you do all the work.”
You leant down to grab onto Eddie’s ponytail, holding on to it to help Steve fuck his throat better. You didn’t expect to be so turned on by it, but Steve could feel the juices leaking out of you, faster as you get closer.
“Fuck, Stevie, I’m close.” You say one hand still on Eddie but your nails clawing into Steve’s chest.
“Wait til I cum, baby. I’m close too.” Steve says, and for the first time since he walked in he sounded like he was enjoying himself.
It was just less than a minute of Steve thrusting into Eddie’s mouth when he finally finishes, giving no warning as his mouth was still on you. “Cum, baby.” He mutters, and the coil in your stomach finally snaps with what felt like an actual snap in your tummy. The orgasm is all consuming, and flutters all around your extended limbs and crosses your eyes. Eddie swallows around Steves cock, and you cum into Steve’s mouth as you watch him, Eddie leaning up and showing you all Steve’s cum in his mouth. You lean in to kiss Eddie, lapping some of Steve’s cum into your mouth, wanting to share the taste of him. Steve bites your thigh to get off his face and you and Eddie look up at him to show him what you’ve been doing.
Steve leans up onto his elbows, laughing in disbelief as he sees the two of your cocked out faces visibly and audibly swallow his cum. “Fuck. That went better than I could’ve expected.” Steve laughs, wiping some sweat off his forehead.
You climb off him, grabbing Eddie’s hand to do the same. “I mean, I pictured it, but never expected it to come true.” You admit, looking around in the dark for your costume.
“I knew you did.” Steve mutters, glad of the confirmation of the lingering touches that’s been occurring more often and more recently. “I fucking knew it.”
“What now?” Eddie asks, and you and Steve look at each other, a mutual agreement.
There was nothing past this. No lingering need for Steve to be your boyfriend and you, his girlfriend. The need and desire the both of you had was purely physical, and now you had it out of your systems. “Honestly, I think we both agree it’s physical.” You admit, hoping Eddie wasn’t ready for a full throuple.
“Okay good. I’m a bit relieved, then.” Eddie admits, also shallow enough to admit for him it was only physical to Steve. “Now I know you’re willing to bat for the other team though.” Eddie laughs.
“Ditto.” Steve retorts, stretching in his bed. “Alright. I’m going back downstairs. I’ll see you both later.” Steve gets back into his costume, fixes his hair and feathered hat in the mirror and gives you both a gentle forehead kiss to trot on downstairs.
“Fuck.” Eddie mutters, looking for the light switch by feeling up the wall in the dark. “That was..”
“Intense.” You mutter, waddling into his arms, still naked.
“Any regrets?” you ask, the memories of your double penetration sharp in your mind and all the over stimulation that came with it.
“God, no. That was sick. Plus, not everyone gets to say within the first dozen times they’ve had sex one of them was a threesome.” Eddie chuckles, now scanning the room so the two of you can get dressed.
“Hate to break it to you, baby, but your hair is so messy.” You tell him, his baby hairs flying away from the jail of the gel on his head.
“Eh. They didn’t think we went up for snacks.” Eddie shrugs, passing you your dress and panties.
You mutter a thanks and the two of you get dressed back into your couple’s costume, and you wonder what he will think of next year, too. Every Halloween, you couldn’t wait until the one where you had your first kid, when Eddie is a middle-aged long-haired metal head and you’re passing out candies with all your teenagers out doing whatever.
It was a scary thought considering how new your relationship was, but it was intense and something you’ve never felt. The longing to be with someone. Forever.
The two of you went downstairs, your red lipstick now entirely gone, some of it on Eddie’s mouth, some on his cock. Some of it was even on Steve’s mouth. As you reached the couch, sitting the same way you were before but without hormones kicking in.
Robin sits next to you two and makes an astute observation as she just left a conversation with Steve for him to let Brittany down gently. “Hey, Eddie. Your lips look just like Steve’s. He has the same red on his-” Robin’s eyes widen and her mouth slaps across her face in astonishment.
“You didn’t!” she says, leaning in not to grab attention. As if it were possible, the party still going strong and the music bumping.
“Sorry Robin,” Eddie shrugs the back of his hand slowly rubbing against your lower back. “I don’t suck dick and tell.”
Robin’s eyes go wide at this, and she runs to go ask Steve the same thing for confirmation. The two of you don’t pay attention to their conversation, too wrapped up in a bubble of falling but not quite in love. You two kiss, the tension of wanting to fuck no longer there. Just, absolute care and affection. You swear you could hear Nancy fake gag as she sits next to you on the couch, but Eddie responds how he usually would.
A white painted middle finger high, not care in the world.

Cody is Anakin’s Stepdad Part 2
Cody is Anakin’s Stepdad Part 2!!
So here is part two. Y'all I’m going, to be honest, I didn’t expect the first part to blow up like it did lol. However, I am a woman of my word, so I come baring part two of Cody is Anakin’s Stepdad. Once again this is based off of the headcannon by @headedtobandomeer and then this part is based off of the comment i saw on the post and was given the okay to use by @maulusque. Let me know what you guys think! and of course enjoy!! And thank you all so so much for the love of the first part! I really didn't expect it to take off like it did but I appreciate it and was thrilled so many of you liked it! Okay I'll stop rambling now and I'll post the english translations of the mando'a words later! It was like two in the morning when i published this and didnt think about it... so my bad there guys lol.
Cody was standing on the bridge of the Negotiator, looking out into the dark endless void of space. For one of the few times during the war, he was relaxed. Those meditations sessions with his husband are really paying off. As the Commander went to moved to exit the bridge, he ran into an almost frantic Anakin.
“General, what has you in such a rush?”
“Cody, just the man I wanted to see. I would like to talk to you about something. In private, preferably.” The normal confidant air around the young Knight was electric with anxiety, and Cody could see the little bit of fear in his eyes.
Cody gave him a questioning look and nodded, motioning for him to fallow him to his and Obi Wan’s room. His husband was having a meeting with the Jedi Council, so they’ll be able to talk without being disturbed.
“Something on your mind Anakin?” Cody’s voice held concern as he looked over the young Knight in front of him, who seemed somewhat troubled.
“Um well,” Anakin rubbed the back of his neck as he fidgeted nervously, seemingly unable to stand still. “I didn’t know who else I could talk to about this, and I know that the Council is okay with marriages because of you and Obi-Wan. Which is great, and I’m glad that you two are together. You make him happy. Which by the way, thanks for telling me you two were married, let alone together. I mean, I know I kept Padme a secret, so I don’t have a lot of room to talk, but still, I mean…”
The Clone Commander watched as the man he started to view as a son nervously ramble and pace the span of the small room. Something was obviously eating the kid.
“Ad’ika take a breath udesii.” He said in a soothing voice
“Right, right, I’m sorry. I’m just worried you see I went and talked with Chancellor Palpatine today, and he said something that has me well, concerned about Padme. I’ve also been having these dreams of her dying that I’m pretty sure are visions because they have the same feel to them as the visions of my mother did, and I just don’t know what to do.”
“Why would Senator Amidala be at risk of dying? Are you seeing some sort of attack on the Senate or something else? If it’s something that’s going to happen on Coruscant, we can contact Commander Fox and set up extra troopers around her and the Senate.”
“No, no, not like that. Padme’s well… she’s pregnant, and the Chancellor thinks that my visions mean she’s going to die either before the kids are born or after.”
Anakin wasn’t looking at Cody anymore. His eyes were firmly staring at the ground, unable to meet the Commander's eyes. He felt sick. He didn’t want to risk losing Padme. He loves her, but he didn’t want to disappoint the man he sees as a brother by tapping into the Darkside. However, the Chancellor seems so sure that it will work in not only saving her but the child as well. He felt so conflicted, and he didn’t know where else to turn to. He still doesn’t fully trust the Council despite them accepting Obi-Wan’s marriage to Cody he was still hesitant to believe they will do the same for him. Many many years of anger and mistrust on the part of both parties will do that to a guy.
“Okay, first off, how is Padme pregnant I gave you so many condoms. But that’s we’ll discuss that later. What do you mean you think she’s going to die? Have either of you spoken to a Doctor or even a medic?”
Anakin took a breath Cody’s steady voice offering a small bit of relief even if it was for a moment.
“No, but we’ve talked to some droids, and the Chancellor seems to think something is going to go wrong.”
“Anakin, Ni kar'tayl gai sa'ad Ni kar'tayl gar darasuum, but sometimes you have to think more with the head you use as a General on the battlefield and think less like a panicked shinny.”
“What do you mean?”
“If one of your men was injured on the field, who would you look for first? A Medic or a dorid to offer aid?”
“I’d find or comm Kix he doesn’t exactly like droids or trust their diagnoses a lot of times.”
Cody nodded encouragingly to the young man seeing him working to the end on his own. Connecting the dots.
“But what about what the Chancellor keeps saying? I mean, he wouldn’t say these things if he didn’t mean it or know it to be true, would he?”
“Listen, ad’ika, if you want my honest answer just from what you’ve told me, the Chancellor is trying to mislead. For what I don’t know, but I do know that I don’t like what he’s been saying just from this encounter that you’ve told me about today makes it seem like he’s rather shady. So here's what I think we should do. First, we send Kix to check on Padme make sure she and the baby are okay. Second, we go to the training room on the ship you and I have a workout. Clear that head of yours and tell me more about that the Chancellor has been filling your head with.”
Anakin feeling a little lighter nodded with a small smile before following the Marshell Commander out the man that he was quickly starting to see as his buir. He was hesitant to come to Cody with any of his problems before, but after today he has a feeling he’s going to be talking to the man far more often.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time Skip~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So it turned out that Chancellor Palpatine was a creepy sith lord who has been trying to groom Anakin to be his sithy apprentice since he was TWELVE! Which Cody helped him to realize after making him do what felt like hundreds of push-ups. Anakin’s arms were so sore he couldn’t even lift his lightsaber to fight with Palpatine. He ended up roundhouse, kicking the Sith Lord into submission. Obi-Wan was confused as to why he did it, Cody was proud of jetii ad’ika he had great form the whole time. He nearly cried; it was so beautiful.
After Kix checked over Padme, she was fine; actually, she and the twins were perfectly healthy, and everything was going normal with the pregnancy. Anakin did faint when Kix told him that they were having twins he was so shocked. Rex let him fall and then laughed at him.
It was only four months later when the twins would arrive, and of course, Obi-Wan and Cody came to visit the new additions to their family. Anakin looked up when they arrived with a bright smile on his face his eyes filled with pride. He held one of the twins in his arms so carefully, almost like he was afraid to drop them but yet so proud.
“Hey,” his voice was soft, barely above a whisper to keep from waking the little one in his arms.
Obi-Wan walked over to stand beside his former Padawan, looking over his shoulder with a soft smile. “Anakin, she’s beautiful.” He cooed.
“Get’s it from her mother, but so far, her little attitude is 100% Skywalker.”
Cody chuckled as he walked over, going to the small crib next to the two former Generals he looked down at the little one inside. He won't lie natborns are still a little strange to him and many of the vod as is the process of how natborns come about. That was not a pleasant night, and Cody contemplated shooting Kix right then and there.
“Here.” Anakin surprised the Commander with his sudden appearance with his arms empty. A quick glance to his right showed Obi-Wan completely entranced by the little girl in his arms. Already wrapped around her little finger, it seems.
Anakin reached down into the crib and carefully picked up the small babe and gently passed him Cody, who held him close to his chest. A bright smile on the father’s face.
“This little guy is Luke Ben Skywalker. Luke, meet your grandpa, Cody.”
“Wait, why am I the Grandpa?”
“Well, Obi-Wan always has been more of a brother a vod to me, but you, you took up the role of parent and filled it in a way I didn’t know I needed until it happened. So thank you, buir.”
Cody will deny till the end of his very days that he teared up with joy and pride at Anakin telling him this. Though, he will say that the only day that rivals this one was the day his riduur said he would share their vows.

Help plz. I read theories about mg relationship that hurt me. The 1st one was about gulf's reaction when mew said they would be friends if not phi-nong. Gulf's reaction said that he finds it impossible to be friends with mew cause mew is so much older and they are totally incompatible in everything. Just work partners. The 2nd was about the availability of mew, that gulf was surprised cause it was not what they agreed on saying beforehand in order to boost their fanservice :( This hurts so much
hyee sweetheart 💖 i wanna say that, theories is all fun to read until it misleading to lies naa. so, from ur statement, what u read is clearly a lie. gulf never said that he cant be with mew because of the age matter. we knew how sensitive mew is about his age so that will not gonna be touched by gulf. after all, in tep interview, when asked that if gulf prefer older or younger, gulf, without hesitation, choose older. he likes to be taken care of, wanted someone to pay attention to him and love to be hugged, and its all comes from mew. u have to know na. gulf choose mew on casting days, gulf never speaks ill about mew in public, gulf never wants mew away from him (shown during the lazada women fashion show), gulf trust mew beyond the line (during howe award event, they askee gulf if hes scared to get close to mew if mew could get infected with covvid and gulf just hug mews shoulder, telling the world how important mew is to him). gulf has been interested at mew since way long ago (recent interview, he said that when hes interested in someone, he will send stickers in LINE, and mew posted about gulf spamming him with stickers may last year). and hey, theyre compatible with each other. if not, both of them will not thank to fate n destiny they meet eo. theories is just a theories. not true, but also not a lie. but in this case, the ultimate truth is, gulf love mew so much, as well as mew love him. dont worry. theyre so loud nowadays with them belong to eo tho haha. ok for ur 2nd one, he said that os purely out of curiousity. its not that gulf was mad because mew want to boost fanservice. u can clearly see the video, no, the whole hygiene event, that gulf really looks like hes in love with mew. when he heard that mew was available, hes surprised because he might get hurt since hes there but mew said hes single. it shows a really suspicious relationship they have actually. if they didnt have smth towards eo, why gulf was mad about it? why mew was so panic he quickly coax gulf? its all happen in such a blink of the eyes. we knew mew is trying to cover but gulf want just there being a wanton partner, wanted people to know that mew is his all along. its really just an indirect confession from gulf to mew. im screaming when gulf was mad about that 😭 so, dont worry naa. mew and gulf love eo way more than we could ever think. they have a very special bond that even if they will not act together anymore, the bond will never break. dont trust others. trust what u see and feel. if u feel that theyre real, then theyre. we are in this together! 💖💖

snape didnt even strictly get a redemption arc. JKR gave us context to his (sometimes confusing and contradictory) actions and let us decide what to do w the information. like if we didnt have the whole flashbacks in the pensieve snape as a character wouldnt make sense and his actions would remain confusing. you can VIEW it as a redemption arc (i do!) but its unfair to say jkr ‘gave him’ one in my opinion.
that’s a fair point. like, rowling never really tries to tell us that snape’s a good guy at any point in the series. she never excuses his bad actions. she gives us the context of his history so that we can understand a) that he isn’t a traitor so that we can follow the thread to b) harry can trust the information he gets. in some ways, snape’s “redemption arc” is a plot device solely to give harry and, by extension, the readers a reason why, after seeing snape murder his mentor, harry should trust anything snape has to say. without getting that history, harry would never have believed the memory that showed he had to die and would never have been able to defeat voldemort.
which is why i’m not a fan of the theory that snape included those memories to get “sympathy” (as if snape cares if harry sympathizes with him lmao) or for some nefarious purpose. snape knows harry doesn’t trust him and he knows the only way to get harry to listen to this vital information - information that is the ONLY way harry is going to end the war - is to reveal snape’s very personal history so that harry can understand that snape is actually on the order’s side and why, exactly, he would never be on voldemort’s. snape didn’t care what anyone thought about his feelings for lily or how they made him look - all he wanted was for harry to actually listen to him for once. he wasn’t thinking “gotta make this boy feel sorry for me” he was thinking “how can i make this boy who hates me actually listen to the very important and war-ending information i need to give him before i die?”
idk. a lot of people try to pain the pensieve moment as a grab for sympathy, but it reeks of bullshit. when has snape ever, at any moment in the entire series, given a fuck about garning sympathy? when has he ever wanted it from anyone? respect???? yes! sympathy, NO. and it’s weird, bc people will insist that snape doesn’t care about harry and then turn around and imply that he altered or cherry-picked his memories (on his literal deathbed!!!) to make himself look good to harry...... like snape doesn’t care!!! what harry thinks of him!!!!
snape’s redemption arc is largely off-screen. we don’t see it bc we’re deliberately misled by snape himself - we’re supposed to think he’s the bad guy, so all of his good actions either get swept under the rug or utterly misinterpreted by our extremely unreliable narrator. we needed to have his backstory in order to see his actions for what they truly were; but rowling doesn’t offer us a moral judgment on the matter. all harry tells us at the end was that snape was brave - and, whatever anyone’s personal feelings on him might be, i don’t think anyone can really argue otherwise on that point. but harry doesn’t say ‘good’ or ‘kind’ or ‘nice.’ he doesn’t offer up excuses for snape’s bad behavior or make any kind of pretty lie about snape was actually a morally good person after all. by withholding that judgment, it allows us to see snape’s actions, cleared from any misleading confusion perpetuated by the plot or by snape himself, and make our own call on whether he is good, evil, or somewhere in between.
and i think part of this comes, as well, in that snape’s redemption is over by the time we become aware of it. most redemption arcs you watch from their infancy or you get ideas of as they grow. but snape DID his redemption by the time he dies. we don’t learn about it until it’s finished! so there’s nothing for rowling to “give” really except the backstory that explains why the redemption was necessary and how he carried it out.
#i obviously have Many Feelings on this lmao#sorry i got tangential like six times in this answer but ultimately i agree with u on this#my meta#cinnamonhermione

Hey, guess what, I’ve found another screen rant I want to react to! I wasn’t planning to do any more but, reading through this article, I just have SO many problems with it... So Let’s do another, agree or disagree with a Screenrant article made by someone with no bias at all. (Sarcasm for the last part by the way.) So let’s see:
Agreed with this point. People act like, if the characters weren’t on screen then they disappeared or something. Maybe they were just living their own lives?
... I don’t even understand this article. Apparently this is 20 things people get wrong and this point is that the timeline can make sense, but then OP goes on to say “However, the more characters were introduced and the more worlds the characters ventured into, it became clearer and clearer that time didn't work the same way everywhere... However, in a world of fairytales, expecting anything more than that is simply asking too much. What does it matter, exactly, when some of these events took place as long as we know that they were a long time ago in a universe not at all like our own?”
Like, so that means this isn’t something people get wrong - the timeline DOESN’T make sense - so what the hell is it doing in this article? You can’t claim you’ve solved it just because you shrug and go “yeah but it’s magic so what do you expect?”
I mean the text directly conflicts the title/bullet point. Luckily I can still safely say I disagree, both with the title and the text because the timeline became f*cked, and just making an embarrassed shrugging face doesn’t change that.
I can’t even say disagree because this is just plain wrong! I don’t quite understand this writer. I can’t tell what they’re deal is, like did they just give a poor title to their article?
Season 1 - The Original Curse Season 2 - Belle and Sneezy lost their memories. Season 3 - Everyone lost a year. Season 5 - Camelot Season 6 - Emma lost her memories Season 7 - Another Curse.
Notice how I left out 4? Well this is where I’m getting confused because this is what OP had to say about Season 4: “While season four dabbled with alternate universes, memories were never wiped or reset in the way they were in every other season.”
... But their memories WERE wiped! They were essentially in a curse because their memories WERE wiped and they WERE given new identities just like the original curse. So yes, memory wipes did in fact happen every single season!
So I can’t agree or disagree because maybe some people do call Ruby a lesbian, but most everyone I talk to calls her bi... So I’ma just skip this one.
Note: She’s bi people. This is canon. If you don’t agree then tough shit.
Agreed, there’s plenty of other ways true love can be proven. TLK is probably just the most convenient, lol.
Kind of agree? I mean I think most people do know and acknowledge this but I guess it can sometimes escape people without realising in passing sentences?
This is true. It was a lame and terrible reveal that made no sense but it was revealed.
... Like, I’m getting confused again. Because this title either doesn’t fit or the writer lives under a rock because no one get’s this wrong! Everyone - rightfully - calls out Zelena for what she did. Even Zelena fans admit what she did was messed up!
... I do agree, I don’t think she made up for all the awful things she did and she definitely became “one of the team” way too quickly for my liking. (I’m hesitant because I suddenly have an idea what side of the fandom wrote this article and I can pretty much predict where it’s going.)
AND THERE IT IS!
DISAGREE. DISAGREE. DISAGREE. DISAGREE. DISAGREE. DISAGREE.
“Nothing says good guy like being an older man who takes advantage of a young girl, impregnates her, and lets her go to jail for crimes you yourself committed.” First off, we don’t know his age. Second, he didn’t ‘impregnant’ her. She got pregnant. It takes two to tango though I doubt the writer knows this. And third, Emma went to jail for HER crimes. Sorry, dear writer, but let me just fill you in. Aiding and abetting a fellow criminal IS A CRIME! Emma did wrong and she was punished for it. I don’t necessarily agree with what Neal did but he is not responsible for where Emma ended up.
“Even further, nothing says good guy like someone who mocks the woman he allegedly loves for the years of trauma, suffering, and scars she endured as a result of your callous, selfish behavior.” ... WHEN?!
“... Neal Cassidy became more and more like the selfish, frequently malicious parents who raised him.” ... Again, WHEN?! Like seriously, selfish maybe but malicious?!
“In no world would he have been the right man for Emma or a good father to Henry because he could never accept accountability for any of his many wrongdoings.” Except, you know, Neal knew Henry all of five minutes and was already dedicated to being a great dad to him and literally was WAY better at being a father to Henry than Hook ever was to the kid. And I added the Hook part because my God, the writer of this article couldn’t be more obvious a CS shipper if they had every sentence end with swans and pirate flags.
It’s amazing how, even dead, they’re still threatened by Neal’s character.
Maybe this was true in S6, but by S7 they had clearly retconned it, making the Wish Realm a very real place. Otherwise there’s a ton of plot holes and you’ve got to be a real idiot to say you’d rather accept plot holes than that the Wish Realm might actually be real.
(Also, just saying, another terrible title because what happened to Emma and Regina when they were in the Wish Realm very much DID happen. So again, really poor titles for this article that clearly doesn’t know what it’s point is.)
... She VIOLATED everyone’s minds by erasing their memories and TRIED TO MURDER ZELENA!
She may have had good intentions but that doesn’t change the fact that she was a villain for a season! Dude, have you never heard the phrase “the road to hell was paved with good intentions”?! I’ll defend Emma turning Hook into a Dark One for sure, but trying to completely ignore the awful things she did?! Jesus Christ!
Again... What? OP... Everyone already KNOWS this. This article is meant to be things people gets wrong but, honestly, I think OP’s the only idiot who gets things wrong at this point. So I’m once again torn because I agree with the statement but I don’t agree that this is something people get wrong.
*Sigh* OP’s giving me a migraine. Not because their statement is incorrect, but because all their reasoning is!
“Regina, as we know, went back and forth to points outside of Maine many times during the preceding 28 years.” It was actually explained, by Regina herself to Hook in Season 2, that because she (and he) had no cursed memories, crossing the town line would not affect them.
“Greg and Tamara are also able to cross the town lines, with Greg even remembering the tiny town for years and years after a traumatic encounter within it during his childhood.” Again. The town line affects people who ARE CURSED! This is made very clear! Henry can also cross the town line when he went to get Emma.
The title, once again, is misleading. People are able to leave - so long as they don’t CROSS THE TOWN LINE. That’s the part CURSED people are not able to do.
I’ve given up Agreeing and Disagreeing at this point. OP’s points are making my brain hurt so let’s just move on.
You’re right OP. It did serve a purpose. It’s purpose was to be a cash grab!
Apparently OP’s excuse is that Anna and Elsa helped Emma come into her own as a magic user? Like yeah, I’m calling bullshit. Emma had no problem using her magic until they brought Frozen in, then they made a whole storyline of Emma having problems just to justify having Elsa struggle and then help her with it.
And after they left they were barely even mentioned. So, again. NO PURPOSE. (Apart from a cash grab.)
Okay, so actually, I do agree. Regina is still Henry’s mum but the fact is, his adoption can’t be legal because Regina would need to have lied on her application and all the usual checks usually done for people wanting to adopt couldn’t possibly have happened.
I was going to agree on technicality but you know what? No.
DISAGREE!
Just because the couples aren’t perfect doesn’t make them toxic. (Using OP’s examples:) “Robin's relationship with Regina results in his being repeatedly assaulted and fathering a child as a result of that assault.” Wow, dude, wait to blame the girlfriend for some of the bad stuff that happened in Robin’s life. I sure feel sorry for whoever you end up with if this is how you see it. “Hook and Emma frequently lie to one another as well,” Lying does not equal a toxic relationship! Certain lies, maybe, but general lying is just what people do when they’re embarrassed or ashamed or upset. What counts is what you’re lying about and also whether or not you come clean about it.
The only one I’ll agree with is RumBelle but even then OP completely misses the reason WHY they’re a toxic relationship. Instead they generalise it into very un-toxic details.
... Again... Like... I agree with the statement but NO ONE GETS THIS WRONG!
OP is clearly just using this article as an excuse to bash Regina. And I’m not a Regina fan, but no, dude, if you’re gonna do this then make a “20 of the worst things Regina ever did” list. Not a “20 things people get wrong” and then list a bunch of things that one in ten people gets wrong!
And now OP’s repeating. Because I’m pretty sure this was covered in the 4th one? Like, agree. I guess. But it feels like OP was running out of things and figured Regina bashing again would be too obvious or something.
Okay. Now this is something a lot of people won’t agree with but... I do.
I agree the show was intended to be Emma’s story and that it then got popular and other characters got popular and it branched out into something more.
... However OP is still a colossus idiot because they ended on this sentence:
“It's what made the concept of a seventh season without almost any of the Charmings such a laughable concept - and such a colossal failure, as well.” And while Season 7 may not be the masterpiece I pretend it is to piss of anti’s, it is also far from the worst. OP just hates it because their fav wasn’t centre stage and they’re bitter as hell.
Wow this was probably the stupidest article yet. OP either clearly doesn’t know what they were meant to be doing (a list of things people often forget about the show) or they just wanted to make a list where they bitched a few points and couldn’t be bothered to think of a catchy title or reason why. Either way, OP’s an idiot and most of these points are ridiculously dumb.

Hanzo and His Double Black Diamond Route
Aka the Yandere route we have all been waiting for! Here is my take on Hanzo’s route and why I believe it is the best writing we have seen in SLBP so far. I’m gonna ramble a lot, mention spoilers, and include some screenshots so be warned!
Firstly, what do I mean by Double Black Diamond Route? It’s a term used in skiing for trail that is more intense/difficult and should only be attempted by advanced skiers. Now please don’t get me wrong, I am not questioning anyone’s intelligence or reading comprehension if they dislike Hanzo’s route, so don’t come for me. I just want to offer my take and insights on this route which features the most complicated writing and complex character we have seen to date in SLBP. The previous route/lord that held that title was Ieyasu and what do you know? He’s a major part in Hanzo’s route!
Also I should mention that I have only played the Light Ending Arc so far but I will be playing the Shadow end after I finish Genya.
Now that all that is out of the way -
HOLY SHIT I LOVED THIS ROUTE SO MUCH! It’s the best Yandere route I have ever played and for those of you that have seen the games I have on rotation, you know I love and know my yanderes. My favourite thing about this route is actually the MC. I found her insufferable in the joint prologue and throughout Sakuya’s entire route to be frank, but WOW did she impress me in Hanzo’s route! Her growth and development are all I ask of a good story and not only did she change and grow but EVERYONE else does too - including Hanzo, Ieyasu, and Tadatsugu who conquers his fear of snakes with Haku (cutest gd scene).
I also really like that she is mature and while she is inexperienced, she doesn’t kink shame herself like most MCs would(more on that later).
Another thing I loved about this route were the blurred lines between reality and lies. I firmly believe and will go to my grave believing that almost nothing out of Hanzo’s mouth was a lie and that he only said it was because that was easier/what he was used to believing up until that point. The way the writers perfectly executed these intricacies just makes me so envious. I’m going to discuss THAT CHAPTER below but I just want to say - the biggest proof that Hanzo isn’t lying about everything/all the time/possibly anything?! comes in the form of almost every one of his actions. A few examples off the top of my head:
-He is a doctor to Ieyasu, the maids, and the townspeople. Sure he could gain something from being close to Ieyasu (but what exactly?) but the Townspeople and Maids? “Information” and/or “Boredom” are not enough motive to be so giving for so long in my opinion. Plus we have nothing concrete saying he was ever planning to betray Ieyasu ever before MC came along.
-Stopping MC from murdering Nobunaga proves he cared about at least ONE of if not all the following: The entire country, Ieyasu, MC, Nobunaga.
-Offering to teach MC everything she needs to know be a better ninja, person, and healer. If his only motive really was boredom(?), pot-stirring(?), deception(?) he wouldn’t have to teach her anything but being a better ninja. The dots just don’t connect!
Hanzo’s Second Crossroads I’m telling you this as your friend - YOU NEED TO BUY AT LEAST THE CG - My heart STOPPED! OH. MY. GOD. I swear I did a Jim from The Office look around the room because I couldn’t believe how hot and wild and kinky and dangerous it all felt.
This is a scene I will never forget so long as I goddamn live! MC is about to leave for her mission and Hanzo is wishing her well and then suddenly he gets really emotional and cuddles her. Then he covers her eyes and puts a knife to her throat!?!?!?! AND SHE LOVES IT!
In Yandere routes moments like this (not that any other scene I can think of come close tbh) can come off Stockholm Syndrome-y but not this; it felt so right and so good! MC acknowledges the absurdity of the situation but what is most important in that moment to her is that Hanzo is actually expressing genuine feelings and they are of the same love MC feels for him. He’s just being his Extra AF self about it. I really just want to give the writers a standing ovation for this. It was the perfect mix of angst and beauty and sensuality. Also further proof he ain’t lyin If he really was the shady lying bitch he claimed to be - he would not be wearing a “soft” smile here when she can’t see - there are 8000 other adjectives that could have been used here but soft was the choice (Because he LOVES HER). The same can also be said of his choice of thinking of her as “small but mighty.” A shady bitch just tricking MC would’t think of her this way.
Hanzo Locking MC Up
This is the first scene I have scene where a Yandere’s actions were completely justified. MC was essentially about to light Japan on fire with war for the sake of her idea of revenge. Her clan doesn’t even care about revenge, they care about survival and rebirth. MC was so blinded by her anger and couldn’t see the bigger picture. Hanzo stopping her helped, but she really needed the time to cool off and unpack her feelings in order to be able to see the bigger picture. Now Hanzo was a bit of a bitch letting her go so far but I firmly believe he didnt think she would be able to when push came to murder and when she DID, this was one of the first times he realized she wasn’t his puppet.
Chapter 12 - The Betrayal
I know a lot of people are going to be the most confused by this chapter - initially I was too but I screenshotted basically the whole thing and have read it over and over again so here is my interpretation.
“The” Betrayal is misleading from the start because there are several depending on which POV you choose to look at. Ieyasu’s trust is betrayed by MC and Hanzo by association when MC fails her mission, Ieyasu is then again betrayed by Hanzo when Hanzo attacks/poisons him, MC is betrayed by Hotaru her little flower giving friend, MC is betrayed by Hanzo when he poisons Ieyasu, Hanzo is betrayed by Ieyasu for giving up on the battle, Hanzo is betrayed by MC for not agreeing to run away with him after she said she would, and finally Hanzo is betrayed again by both of them for not doing what he said/thought they would do after he betrayed them (Ieyasu covering for him, and MC loving him despite everything). It’s a LOT to process and makes me think of the party scene from the movie The Room.
Now obviously the key betrayal comes from Hanzo attacking Ieyasu but why did Hanzo do it? Honestly - I don’t know if there is any one solid reason, but my theory is that he feels like MC’s failed mission would result in both Hanzo and MC’s deaths so he attacks Ieyasu KNOWING MC will step up and prove not only her value as a healer but her loyalty to Ieyasu and the entire clan. I firmly believe he was presenting her with options - 1) To run away with him after (which he said before and says after) or 2) Stay in Mikawa safely. The writers don’t really provide any definitive answers but one thing you know by the end of the route is that Hanzo feels in extremes. He loves big and he hurts big so that alone is enough to make me feel like my theory is the answer. Hanzo & Ieyasu
I LOVED IEYASU IN THIS ROUTE SO MUCH! This is my second favourite Ieyasu now (first being Ieyasu in Yukimura Act 2). The dynamic between Hanzo and Ieyasu is an absolute TREAT. What a unique relationship! They’re my new favourite duo! RANDOM FAVOURITE MOMENTS - The scene where he’s rubbing the bandaged wounds he inflicted and MC moans...like - THERE ARE NO WORDS! I feel like with this and what was essentially knife play in the crossroads, this is as kinky as the writers have gone and I am 100% here for it.
(Also shady bitch liars aren’t capable of feeling regret so this scene is ALSO proof that Hanzo isn’t just a manipulative liar!)
-The entire epilogue scene where he’s dangling you in front of Ieyasu and complaining about the attention you show Ieyasu.
-When he gets jealous over you calling Kiyohiro by name.
-When Ieyasu wishes MC well! -When he asks you to “Live for him and only him” and it’s actually romantic!? Like sure this was during his self-proclaimed “living a lie” phase but you can TELL it’s a genuine ask. -When he gets jealous of the moon lmao idiot
-Drunk Tadatsugu being shamed by Hanzo after he asks where you are headed off to and Hanzo implies you are going to the toilet. -THIS
- and THIS
So that’s the long and short of it!
I went in expecting Hanzo to be a one note shady bitch that has an unrealistic and unbelievable change of heart but he was the exact opposite of that! He is really sweet and caring especially for a ninja and there are so many layers to him I’ll never get bored! This is one of my new favourite routes and I look forward to playing his bad end and writing with him as my new muse!
Reminders: You are totally welcome to disagree with me and feel how you want to feel about Hanzo, I just really wanted to put my observations as a writer out there. Also at the end of the day, this is just a game. I see people forgetting this or taking it too seriously calling characters abusers or rapists etc and trying to make people feel bad for enjoying them or their stories. You can like what you want to like and have the right to not feel shamed for it and any actions you take in a game do NOT reflect choices or actions you would make in real life. It’s all just fun and fantasy.
Don’t listen to people like that and don’t be one of those people. If you’ve made it this far, thank you and I love you!

Im a transguy and trying to get to know this girl on a dating site but i am lying to her and i dont know how to turn it around. she wants to meet and i dont know what to say to her but shell find out if we take it to the next level i cant so what do i say to reverse it. btw im glad you are back. your advice has always helped me
Dating when transgender is a whole new experience to dating as someone born the gender they present as, which I’m sure you’re seeing. But it also isn’t in my opinion. Maybe I’m transgender. Maybe I’m cisgender. Maybe I’m a chicken nugget. Maybe it’s maybelline. Maybe I’m gay. Maybe I’m straight. Who knows. Either way, I see approaching relationships the same.
When I’m getting to know a girl, I talk to her for a long time before I meet her. I would say out of 50 messages I might have with women, I only meet 5 maximum. The other 45 I decided wouldn’t fit me or I didn’t vibe with the right way. I saved myself a lot of heartbreak and rejection that way.
For someone who is transgender it’s no different really. You should always take the time to get to know someone, understand their view points and personality. After all depending on the point you are in within your transition can make it pretty impossible to meet up for just a hook up. This is where things are different and this prolonged process of getting to know someone is almost essential to move forward. Going on a date without her knowing, is sort of allowing her to assume something about you that if she knew more, maybe she’d be uncomfortable or confused, sometimes even feel betrayed. Some people just outright aren’t okay with it and could even react violently. It’s not okay but it does happen.
I would say during this beginning period of just talking, to be a friend. Don’t have your hopes up, but be confident in who you are and what you can offer. Avoid romantic or sexual conversations. This isn’t the wrong thing to do no matter your identity, it’s always good to respect someone as a person before assuming you fit in other ways. Find out her political beliefs. Find out her position on bullying or the underdog. gay people. etc… a lot of these things will help you know if she’s harshly against it or even mildly understanding of it. When you have an indication, if it’s positive, move forward. If negative, its over. You no longer need to talk to her, and you never got your emotions involved so no harm, no foul, move along to the next. Keep her friendship if you’d like but she isn’t interested. You also didn’t have to tell her something personal about yourself that you’d probably regret revealing.
Upon moving forward, drop small hints. Never make jokes about your balls if you don’t have them, never try to overcompensate with hypermasculinity and being a man if its something that you struggle with. Try being transparent without actually saying you’re transgender directly. It should be somewhat obvious there is something different about you in regards to masculinity or typical gender norms before you meet without you directly making a deal of it. If she gets the hint and doesn’t like it, she’ll do you the favor and go away. Don’t chase her, she is not interested.
Eventually when you feel safe reaching and speaking with her on deeper topics, especially social ones that make you different, then I would initiate meeting. You don’t have to tell her yet, it’s already obvious she’s cool with it as a person, finding out if shes cool with it romantically is only after things actually become romantic. If you meet up and she’s flirting, seems romantically drawn to you, and assumes its a date, then I would be comfortable enough to entertain the IDEA of liking her back but not really give that all back. She’ll notice something is off, your engagement in return to her seems off. She might ask and that’s your opportunity to tell her, or you can tell her later if things went well that you’re not like other guys, there are some things that are different and you think she’s cool but you don’t know how she’d feel about it.
She might just tell you she already kinda knew. She might ask you what that entails. So answer her questions. If she’s as understanding as you’ve made sure she is, then she will be cautious in her questions. If the questions are fitting to romantic or sexual desires, then she is probably interested in less of what it means to you and more in how it affects her. So tell her honestly, what you intend to do in your transition, what you’ve already done, what you are comfortable with and what you expect from a woman. Be sensible and logical, not everything needs to be so personal and detailed.
I think with dating women it’s easier in some ways. Certain women at least. They’re more receptive to taking an emotional stance on things. So you have some leverage there. A woman will be more calm and understanding of your reveal. Let’s say she denies you, you missed the mark, you thought she liked you and would be understanding and she’s not. That’s okay, you have others to talk to thankfully, you never got fully invested, and you only told someone who understood and wont judge you for it or go around telling people your business. You made a real genuine friend.
if she is cool with it, I would just continue the friendship and see if things get romantic. Don’t bring up the trans thing, you’re just a guy. No need to make jokes about it, no need to make her think about it. You’re just a guy, she already got her questions answered in regards to that. Things will naturally just go on like any relationship.
I’d give 2 months minimum for this all to develop and she’ll appreciate you more for actually getting to know her.
For trans women, I would say withhold sex. Normalize being transgender. Some men will only be willing to engage with you sexually if they are fetishizing you, because their perceived masculinity requirements wont allow them to see you romantically. It’s a lot harder in my opinion. I would say withhold sex, be a person, be a friend. Find out his views, find out his comforts, slowly ease in the idea that youre different from other women and if he rejects you, is mean to you, slanders you. You just say : i apologize that you feel mislead at all by how I am, I never intended for that, I really think youre a cool person and I didnt know if you’d be open to it. It was worth a try, I dont really see you romantically just yet anyway, but I thought it’d be cool to chill. But thanks anyway for taking the time to get to know me as a person.” and you can block them or withstand another threat or insult, or maybe hear him out. Maybe a friendship will arise and maybe it will become more if he sees there is no pressure.
I try to encourage everyone who is trans to not be so open about it immediately. Don’t deceive, just only reveal it when you are comfortable with someone. Profile should say male or female if thats what you identify as. The trans thing is more what youve done or are doing, youre transitioning but its not WHAT or WHO you are. It’s not really an identity at all, it’s kind of the background noise or schematics of it all. If you treat it that way, others will, too….most of the time.
As for reversing a lie, I would say that you got yourself in a tough spot. I would become a bit distant and less romantic with this person to make it clear you are guilty or feel like you’ve overstepped. Usually when you step back, someone steps forward…at least if they care. So you step back, she steps forward, you explain you havent been honest and youre not really like other dudes and you feel like you’ve mislead her and you’ll understand if she doesnt want to go forward with things. She’ll encourage you but dont play games, make sure you feel comfortable. There is a risk here. When you feel you’ve beat around it enough and she’s let down her guard enough, reveal. I would also start to check her political views and ideas about social events going on before revealing no matter what. It’s extremely important to do that. She might reveal she is a die hard trump fan, anti lgbt hardcore and you know to just stop talking to her. Why would you want to be with someone like that anyway? Cis or Trans?
Basically, treat it like any other relationship but prolong the intimate stuff until you know them better. Everyone will be saved from a lot of heartbreak, rejection and embarrassment. You never have to get too attached to the potential of someone else if your options are always open to being friends or maybe something else, who knows, If you have an agenda, I dont think you should be dating people anyway. If youre not willing to be genuinely interested in them as a person, you’re just going to hurt them eventually anyway, whether they see passed it or not.
