Today was the day. I was graduating. Eddie was graduating. I had hardly slept a wink last night, partly from buzzing with excitement about graduation and also because I hadn’t convinced Eddie to sneak out of my bedroom until around three o’clock this morning. He had insisted on coming over last night to help me rehearse my speech since he knew I was nervous about it. However, he also insisted on helping “calm my nerves” first before we began. Needless to say, we never got around to practicing my speech. Once I felt Eddie’s skilled fingers dip below the waistband of my panties, the only thing I wanted to practice on was him. 

My eyes nearly bugged out of my head when I read the red numbers glowing on the clock on my nightstand. 2:47am. I gasped loudly and grabbed onto Eddie’s shoulder, gently shaking him awake. Fifteen minutes ago he had been awake going on about how waffles were superior to pancakes, but at some point he had gone silent, and I smiled when I realized he had finally passed out with his head on my chest. I laid there silently for a moment, admiring how peaceful he looked when he slept, and took the opportunity to play with his messy curls. However, when I caught sight of the time, I started to panic.

“Eddie! Eddie, wake up!”

Eddie mumbled a quiet complaint, nuzzling his nose against my neck and wrapped his arms even tighter around my waist. I giggled softly at his reaction, gently tapping my index finger against his nose.

“Eddie, wake up. You gotta go! It’s almost three in the morning. If my mom catches you in here, she’ll kill us both. And your uncle will definitely be pissed if he wakes up and you’re not there.”

Eddie let out a final dramatic groan as he rolled off of my chest, leaning on his elbows beside me. I tried my hardest not to giggle at the adorable pout on his lips. I leaned in to gently kiss it away, gasping against his mouth when I felt him swipe his tongue along my bottom lip. I grinned as I shoved at his chest and shook my head.

“You are insatiable, Munson.”

“Only when it comes to you, sweetheart.”

“C’mon. Up. Let’s go, bubs.”

Swearing under his breath, Eddie slowly managed to untangle himself from the blankets and began to get dressed. He cocked his head to the side and looked down at me as he slid his belt through his jean loops.

“Do we really have to go?”

“Eddie! It’s graduation, of course you have to go. You are finally walking that stage. I’m not letting you miss it.”

A lazy grin appeared on his lips as he slipped his worn sneakers onto his feet, leaning over me on the bed to nuzzle his nose against my own. As Eddie brought his hand up to cup my cheek, I leaned into his touch and smiled.

“I’m proud of you, you know.”

“Proud of me? You’re the Valedictorian here, baby. I’m proud of you.”

“Eddie, I know how hard you worked for this. You should be proud of yourself, too.”

Pressing a soft kiss to my cheek, Eddie sat down on the bed beside me and grabbed onto my hips to pull me onto his lap. I couldn’t help but smile as I wrapped my arms around his neck, leaning in close to press our foreheads together.

“You know I couldn’t have done it without you.”

“Eddie-”

“I mean it. You believed in me. You believed I could actually do it so much that..I believed it too. You kept me on track, you did more than you had to for me, and you’re the reason I’m graduating today, angel. I owe it all to you, my love.”

I pulled Eddie in impossibly close, hugging him as tight as I could. He had a way with words, whether he would ever admit that or not, and always managed to make me melt every time he opened his mouth. I felt so lucky to be loved by him. I often thought back to the first time we met several months ago, and everything we had been through since that day. I would go through it all a million times over again knowing we got to end up like this. 

“I love you so much, Eddie.”

“And I love you so much, my sweet girl. Get some sleep, angel. I’ll see you in a few hours.”

I always wondered how I would feel the day of my high school graduation. I always thought I would feel anxious, but mainly about tripping on stage and falling flat on my ass in front of everyone. I thought I would feel sad, leaving familiarity and everything I had grown used to behind. I thought I might even feel heartbroken as I packed up my life to move far away to get a fresh start. But right now, all I felt was excitement. I was excited to see Eddie. I was excited to see Nancy and Robin. I was excited to see Steve who had promised to bring the boys with him. But mainly, I was excited for the future. Today was the last page of this chapter of my life.

After I managed to get my mom to stop sobbing over my baby pictures and help me get ready for graduation, we finally made it to the high school’s gym. It was absolutely packed with students, parents, and Hawkins residents alike. It was crazy to me how different the gym looked right now compared to how it had looked a month ago for prom. The memory caused a smile to cover my lips and heat to rise to my cheeks as I remembered how that night had ended.

My knee bounced uncontrollably as I sat on the stage, eyeing the sea of students nervously. Principal Higgins was still going through his opening speech and announcements, and as soon as he was finished, I was up. I clutched the paper in my hand, eyes scanning over my words for the millionth time. I practically had it memorized by now, but I was terrified I would trip over my words. Or just trip in general. I tried desperately to find Eddie in the crowd below, he should have been easy to spot. I wondered for a moment if he was able to even get his cap over his hair, which made me grin like an idiot. I could see it now; Eddie cursing and grumbling as he tried to force the cap onto his mess of curls, Wayne complaining to Eddie to “just get a damn haircut, kid”, both of them trying to figure out a way to get the cap to stay on.

“And now, please join me in welcoming your class valedictorian, Y/N Y/L/N.”

I froze immediately, anxiety barreling in at full force like a runaway train. I took cautious steps towards the podium, giving myself a pep talk along the way. Just breathe. Don’t trip and fall on your face. Relax. I suddenly heard a voice cut through the crowd and squinted to find the source. I instantly erupted into a fit of laughter finally finding Eddie who was standing on top of his chair, hands cupped around his mouth, shouting “that’s my fucking girlfriend!” at the top of his lungs. Taking a deep breath, I placed my speech down on the podium and smiled.

“I’d like to start by saying congratulations to the entire Hawkins High graduating class of 1986. Four years ago, we walked through those doors as freshmen, having absolutely no idea what was to come. They told us it would be over before we knew it, and to enjoy it, but also to be prepared for this day. Some of you may have had your life after high school mapped out on that first day of freshman year. Some of you might have been just trying to make it to today. Either way, I think everyone here should be proud of the milestone they’ve achieved. Over the past four years, we have all grown tremendously. We’ve made new unlikely friends, or we may have lost friends we thought we’d have forever. Some of us fell in love for the first time, and some of us experienced our first heartbreak. We learned a lot about who we were, and who we wanted to be. I don’t know about you, but I am definitely not the same person I was that first day, and I’m proud of that. Even though my plans for the future have completely changed, I’m proud of my growth, and I’ve never been more excited about the future. I don’t think we’re supposed to have everything figured out. You could try to plan your entire life out, step by step, but none of us are ever really prepared for what life throws at us. Today when we walk out those doors, we’re supposed to be adults, but at heart we’re all still just kids. We’re going to fail. We’re going to make mistakes. Some of us might end up places we never expected. But we’re all doing it together. We’re all figuring it out together. Some of you I’ve had the pleasure of knowing over the past four years, and some of you I’ve only gotten to know recently. But even for those of you that I’ve never spoken to, I know you’re all going to do amazing things, because you made it here. So when you walk through those doors today as a Hawkins High graduate, don’t panic if you don’t have a plan. Don’t feel pressured to grow up so quickly. Just go find your own magic. Thank you, and congratulations again!”

My cheeks hurt from smiling as I grinned at Eddie. His mouth was stretched into the biggest smile, and I giggled as he blew me a kiss. I sent him one right back with a wink, and took my seat as Principal Higgins introduced the next speaker. After what felt like hours, they finally started to call names, and reality began to sink in that this was actually it.

“Hawkins High class of 1986 valedictorian, Y/N Y/L/N.”

I smiled brightly as I crossed the stage, taking my diploma from Principal Higgins and pausing to shake his hand for a picture. My eyes found my mom in the crowd, and I gasped in excitement when I saw Steve was sitting next to her along with Dustin, Mike, and Lucas. I waved frantically at all of them, giggling at how loudly they were all yelling. As I took my seat again, my knee bounced in anticipation as I waited for Eddie’s name to be called. I stood up and cheered loudly when I heard Robin’s name, flashing her an excited grin. Slowly but surely Principal Higgins made it halfway through the alphabet, and I could see Eddie waiting at the other side of the stage. Principal Higgins glanced down at the paper in his hand, and then over at Eddie who was wiggling his brows and grinning mischievously. Shaking his head with a deep sigh, Principal Higgins waved Eddie over.

“Edward Munson.”

I screamed so loud my lungs hurt, and my palms stung from clapping. I was filled with an overwhelming sense of pride as Eddie ran across the stage. He snatched his diploma from Principal Higgins and held it up triumphantly, sticking his tongue out and holding his other hand up in a rock ‘n’ roll salute. As Principal Higgins held his hand out, Eddie promptly shoved his middle finger in his face, rushing over to the side of the stage where I was to plant a messy kiss on my lips before taking off into the refuge of the crowd. I looked over at Principal Higgins with wide eyes, trying my hardest not to giggle as I shrugged my shoulders. Rolling his eyes, he turned around to read off the next name completely unphased.

“There’s my girl!”

I giggled as I ran into Eddie’s arms, wrapping my arms around him tightly as I pressed my lips against his. We were both grinning like idiots when we pulled away.

“I can’t believe you did that.”

“What? I said I was going to.”

“Yeah but I thought you were joking!”

“What were they gonna do, not let me graduate?”

“I don’t know, maybe. Edward.”

Eddie’s grin fell at the mention of his full name, throwing his head back and groaning as he rubbed his large hands over his face.

“I can’t believe they used my government name. And now you know it.”

“Mm, I think it’s cute. Edward.”

“I can’t believe your name is Edward. That’s the most...unmetal name ever.”

“Shut up, Henderson.”

I beamed when I saw the boys, quickly enveloping all of them in a nearly suffocating hug before I got to Steve. He held out a bouquet of purple violets and peonies with a timid smile.

“Congratulations, Y/N/N.”

I quickly wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him in close for a tight hug. 

“Thank you, Steve. For everything.”

“Can all of you quit hitting on my girlfriend, please. Jesus Christ.”

Nancy, Robin, Eddie and I all had a big joint graduation party at the Wheeler’s house, much to Nancy’s father’s dismay. I couldn’t recall a time I had ever felt so..happy, and so fulfilled. Looking around and seeing everyone laughing, dancing, and having a good time made me somewhat emotional. Robin and Steve were arguing over which John Hughes movie had the best soundtrack. Dustin and Eddie were competing to see who could fit the most marshmallows in their mouth. Jonathan and Nancy were going up against Mike and Lucas in a game of charades. My mom and Mrs. Wheeler were gushing about the hot new lifeguard at the local pool. I decided to step outside for a moment and snuck out into the backyard.

The summer breeze felt nice against my heated skin. It was quiet apart from the party going on inside. Even though I felt content, there was a slight pang in my chest as I thought about how much I would miss this. I was so entranced in my own thoughts I didn’t hear the backdoor open.

“There you are. What are you doing out here by yourself?”

I glanced up to see Eddie making his way over towards me and smiled softly.

“Just cooling off. Who won?”

Eddie scoffed as he sat down beside me, leaning back on his palms as he shook his head.

“Little shit had an advantage. He hustled me.”

“Oh? And what did he get?”

“My red set of D&D dice.”

“Eddie!”

“I overestimated myself! I forgot he has more room in his mouth than I do.”

I snickered at Eddie’s pout, leaning over to kiss it away softly.

“It’s okay, you still have like four more pairs.”

“Yeah, but those were my favorite.”

We sat in comfortable silence for a minute. I closed my eyes when I felt Eddie’s fingers languidly tracing up and down my arm. He leaned in closer and rested his chin on my shoulder, tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ear.

“What is it, sweetheart?”

“I just..I’m gonna miss this. I..I always wanted a big family, and I feel like now I finally have one. I just wish I had found it sooner.”

Eddie stroked his thumb along my cheek softly, pressing a light kiss to my jaw as he tilted his head to the side and smiled.

“They’re not going anywhere, angel. It’s not like we’re going to be super far away. It’s what, a two hour flight?”

I knew he was right. I knew I was being emotional and dramatic, but I couldn’t help it. I’d decided to apply to Emerson College with Nancy. We were both going to be studying liberal arts, and had graciously been assigned a dorm together. Eddie was ecstatic when I showed him my letter, even though Emerson was in Boston. I was admittedly apprehensive considering how he had reacted to my last acceptance letter, but he just kept saying over and over that we would make it work. 

“I know, it’s just-wait. What?”

“What?”

“You..you said ‘we’?”

Eddie’s mouth split into the biggest smile I had ever seen. He grabbed onto my hips and pulled me onto his lap, taking both of my hands in his and giving them a gentle squeeze.

“I uh..was gonna wait and surprise you. But, I’m coming with you to Boston.”

“Eddie-”

“Since you did Mrs. O’Donnell the absolute solid of getting me the hell out of her classroom, she wrote a rather convincing letter of recommendation, and helped me get into a community college near Emerson. Helped me fill out the financial aid forms and everything. I’m gonna be studying music. Even got a job lined up at a record store, and a place with Jeff and Gareth. Corroded Coffin is coming to Boston, baby.”

I didn’t bother trying to hide the tears that were now freefalling down my cheeks. My heart felt so full I thought it was going to burst. I couldn’t believe what Eddie was saying. 

“Eddie I..I don’t know what to say. You..you didn’t have to-”

“No, no angel I wanted to. I want to be wherever you are. For the first time in my life, I know what I want. And I know I can do it, because I have you. None of this would have ever happened without you. You are the love of my life, and I would follow you into the depths of Mordor.”

I didn’t know what to do other than wrap my arms tightly around his neck and bury my face into his chest. Eddie’s large hand slipped under my shirt, rubbing soothing circles onto my back as he held me. I pulled back slowly to cup his cheeks, smiling as I looked deeply into his eyes.

“I love you, Eddie Munson.”

“And I love you, Y/N Y/L/N. With everything I have. I promised you, whatever life throws at us, we’ll handle it together.” 

“Together.”

“Now, with that being said, I would like to officially hire your fine ass as my tutor once again because God fucking knows I’m gonna need it.”

I giggled as I leaned in to kiss Eddie’s lips, running my fingers through his curls as I moved closer on his lap. 

“Mm, I think that can be arranged, Mr. Munson.”

There was a low groan that sounded in Eddie’s chest and I felt his hands grip onto my hips. I smirked as I pulled back slightly to get a better look at his face.

“I suppose now, we can do strip pop quizzes.”

Eddie’s eyes widened immediately, his lips parting open in surprise as he blinked a few times.

“Wait..what?”

“Oh you know, for every question you get right, I take something off. But for every question you get wrong, I put something back on. I have a feeling it will really help with your retention.”

Eddie gaped at me, a light twinge of pink coating the tops of his cheeks. His grip on my hips tightened as a soft whine fell from his lips.

“You mean we could have been doing that the entire fucking time?”

“Well, not the entire time. But by the time we could have been playing, you decided you didn’t need my services anymore and broke up with me not only as your tutor, but also as your girlfriend.”

Eddie groaned loudly and let his head fall against my shoulder, which earned another round of giggles from me.

“For fucks sake. I’m never breaking up with you again, I swear.”

“Eddie-”

“No, I mean it. Not as my tutor, or my girlfriend. I hope you’re prepared to spend eternity with me, because the only way you get to stop being my girlfriend is when you start being my wife.”

My heart fluttered at Eddie’s words, and I gently pulled him away from my shoulder to look at him. There were no traces of playfulness on his features. I bit down on my bottom lip and smiled shyly.

“Eddie..you can’t make promises like that.”

“The hell I can’t. You’re mine, sweet girl. I told you, this is permanent. I meant it. Someday, when we’re both ready, I will marry you, and we can have that big family you want.”

I could feel warm tears pricking at my eyes again. Eddie stared at me with a goofy grin, cupping my cheek in his large hand as he traced his thumb along my bottom lip.

“Come on, how good does Y/N Munson sound, hm?”

“Pretty damn good.”

Eddie surged forward to press our lips together. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him as close as I possibly could. Not many people can say they found the love of their life in high school, but I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I had. Eddie was meant for me. We belonged together. And no matter what the future held for us, we would always face it together. In that moment, I realized I had finally found my magic. It was Eddie Munson.
