Eddie and I have been dating for a year and a half now. It’s been rough. And I wouldn’t be surprised if it ended soon. Is it bad that I wouldn’t be said either? I mean, he’s cheated multiple times and each and every time he’s convinced and manipulated me into staying with him. It’s not healthy for either me or him and it needs to stop. But I love him, I can’t just up and leave.
Or can I?
❤️🩹
I knock on Eddies trailer waiting for him to answer. We’re supposed to be having movie night, we’re watching Mad Max. I don’t get a response so I knock again, but as soon as my knuckles reach the door it opens.
“Hey, y/n!”
He looks disheveled. Clothes ruffled, pants unzipped, hair messy, well, isn’t it always? I also take note of the fact that he’s panting, like he had just ran a mile.
“Eddie, are you alright?”
“Uh, yea, yea I’m fine why?”
Its then that I notice Eddie has red lipstick stains littering his cheeks, neck, and collarbone.
“Eddie what the hell have you been up to? You’re panting like you just ran a fucking marathon, mate! Bloody hell!”
It’s then that I again notice something else. The aroma around him smells rosy. Which I know he doesn’t use perfume, that’s a no brainer, he uses black ice which is for sure not what I’m smelling.
“Eddie,” I start, looking him dead in the eye. “What. In. The. Living. Hell. Have you been doing.”
It wasn’t a question anymore it was more like an I know what you’ve been doing moment.
~~~~~
Eddie’s POV:
I didn’t want to lie to her again.
“Eddie, what. In. The. Living. Hell. Have you been doing.”
I knew that she knew what I was doing. It was ironic actually, this song, we used to listen to called Bring Me To Life by Evanescence matches exactly what’s happening right now
How can you see into my eyes, like open doors?
I knew she could see right through me.
“C’mon, sweetheart. You know I wouldn’t do that again. I swore to you I wouldn’t.”
I didn’t even want to say what it was that I had done. But I’m sure we’d both had an idea. I just need to convince her enough. I know what I’m doing is horribly wrong. But I just can’t loose her.
~~~~~
Y/ns POV:
I knew he was lying, but part of me wanted to believe him. It’s like he knows my week spots and he knows how to get what he wants.
Leading you down into my core, where I become so numb
No, I couldn’t let him win this time. I can’t. And I won’t.
“No Eddie. You do this every godamn time! And I’m done with it. You’re a manipulative piece of shit!”
“You don’t mean that, hun”
“The hell I don’t! And you don’t get to call me hun anymore-” I was cut off by an all too familiar voice that I knew from my high school days. A strawberry blonde girl comes walking down the stairs.
“Ed’s? When are you coming back to-” She’s stunned and stops in her tracks.
“Chrissy?”
“Y/n?” We say in sync.
“Eddie what the hell! Chrissy?! You’ve got to be kidding me right?” I ask.
“I- we weren’t fucking were were just….” He stops, not knowing what to say. “You were what Eddie?” He furrows his brows and rubs his forehead like he’s frustrated. “I was planning on sleeping over toning Eddie. But fuck that just sleep with Cunningham instead!” I look at him, my eyes glossed over and threatening to spill. But will not show this jack ass that he’s affecting me.
Without a soul, my spirits sleeping in somewhere cold
“Fuck you, Eddie Munson. And Chrissy,” She snaps her head toward me when she hears her name, afraid of I might say, “You could do so much better. Even fucking Jason was less of an ass than this guy, mate.”
I slam the door, leaving his doorstep and storming away and getting in my car. I hope he’s fucking happy.
~~~~~
Eddie’s POV:
“Fuck!” I yell, pinching the wall making a decently sized hole.
“Godamn it!”
“Eddie calm down, you still have me?”
“I don’t want you! You’re just a fucking distraction! You’re meaningless to me. I don’t love you! I love her! And now she’s gone.”
Frozen inside without your touch, without your love.
Darling, only you are the life among the dead
All this time, I can't believe I couldn't see, kept in the dark, but you were right in front of me
~~~~~~~~~~~
OMG THE AMOUNT OF ANGST IN THIS ONE LIKE IM ROLLING, CRYING, AND THROWING UP ITS TOO MUCH HOW TF DID MY SLOW ASS BRAIN COME UP WITH THIS😭AND ITS ONLY THE FIRST FIC IVE WRITTEN

Mumbo and Etho were in the royal army together. It wasn't a terribly long period of time, only a few months really.
Mumbo had joined as a mission from Grian to infiltrate the royal ranks while the resistance was still in its infancy stages and in desperate need of any kind of intel. This was long before Grian had eyes and ears at every turn.
Etho was nearing a decade of service and by that point, he had enough. He had seen all of the corruption within the kingdom, how it valued power and control over everything else, even its own citizens and those who served it. He had seen it first hand. He would bear the scars of it for the rest of his life.
Their paths didn't cross much in that short period of time, it really had no reason to with their differences in rank. In fact, it was something Mumbo actively tried to avoid. He had figured that if anyone was smart enough to figure him out, it would be the kingdoms most infamous knight. And he had been right.
Now you see, Mumbo wasn't the best spy. He was, after all, young and inexperienced. It was only a matter of time before he got caught. He was only fortunate that it was Etho who found him elbow deep in important documents.
Mumbo thought for sure he was a goner, but to his surprise the feared and well known solider actually helped him. Etho made sure Mumbo got out of the castle safely with whatever information he needed, in exchange for one simple thing: a place in the resistance.
It was purely coincidence that they would end up working closely together in the end. No one had known that Etho was a highly talented engineer on top of his famed battle skill.
