Cold hands // Eddie Munson x y/n

the maiden approaches

An hour went by and it was time for lunch, my school band friends and I sit, either chatting or staring into space, Robin usually creates some amazing conversation, however I think she sees this as a flaw.. but really she's my best friend, and the only thing keeping me going,
"How much longer do you plan to stare at scary and mean Eddie Munson?" Asked Robin, "For as long as it takes before he notices my existence" I sigh, Vickie looked at me with disbelief, "what?" I giggled, Robin and Vickie looked at each other, giggled and ate their food.

"I'm going to ask my brother something, I'll be right back" I say, immediately leaving the table and headed straight for Gareth, the red tartan-clad drummer of Eddie's band (they aren't actually that bad when I hear them, but I can't say that.. because he's my brother).
As Eddie saw me approaching, sat in his usual 'head of the table' seat, his eyes widened as if he recognised me...
"Hey" I punched my brother in the shoulder, "what the fuck?...oh" Gareth yelled as he turned around, And I immediately retort "did you take my brand new master of puppets cassette?!?!" in the most polite sisterly way possible,
Mike Wheeler and Dustin Henderson appeared shocked, they looked at each other and pretended to play with their food.
"Maybe?! sorry y/n I'll fucking ask next time.. Jesus!"
"Who is this?" Eddie asked my brother with a curious and excited smile upon his face, and eyes wider than his amazing long hair.
"Oh yeah .. Eddie, this is my sister, y/n, and y/k this is Eddie",
"Why.. I mean y/n you're welcome to borrow my cassettes anytime.. what are you into? Dio? Motörhead??..", Eddie was completely struck with awe which I never expected, "oh my god? yeah thanks so much I..never expected this" I replied, I think I was just as struck as Eddie at the rate I shot back with my excited tone of voice, which I could see amused the majority of the hellfire club, "come over mine later I'll give some.. really pretty-UHM- recomendations" Eddie hiccupped,
Fuck, I thought.. I can't bring myself to drive after the Fred boys' accident a year ago..but I can't tell Eddie and the entire hellfire club THAT?, "oh I'm sorry I can't drive-" Eddie quickly interrupted, "don't worry I'll pick you up.. or meet you after school?",
I could feel my face flushing
"I'm- yeah! Thanks that's really generous actually.. for some cassettes",
"Oh no don't you worry, I've got the good shit back home...th-the good music!.. back home", Eddie stumbled,
"It's a date" exclaimed Dustin, laughing to Mike and the rest of the club, to which they joined, 'oh god is it really that obvious what I'm trying to do here' I thought to myself..
Eddie exploded "Okay, GUYS! You'll regret that when I beat you in tomorrows campaign!", Eddie turned back to me "yeah.. I'll meet you at the entrance, 3:00?"
'Oh my god Eddie just asked me to go to his house' I thought, "Sure! Thanks, I'll see you then", I smiled and returned to my table of band friends, all wide eyed and trying not to hyperventilate..

"Sooo.. what was that?" Asked Robin, "Oh my god" - I said, turning to Robin, "he asked me to his house after school! Oh my god... oh my god?",
Vickie's jaw dropped and Robin let a gasp of surprise, her hands almost covering her mouth, both looking at each other and beginning to squeal.
"Holy shit! Y/n how did that... happen?"
I held my head in my hands, bearing a huge grin, "you tell me because honestly.. don't know".
