Steddie

Chapter 31

Eddie POV

Over the next day Steve gets more and more worried about our whole plan, he won't stop telling dustin when to give me music and reminding him to take it.

I know he would rather be the one with me but Nancy and Lukas need his help. Will and Mike are gonna stay with El to make sure she's ok

"How are you feeling Eddie? You ok? Any Headaches? Nightmares?" Steve asks, coming and sitting down next to me on his bed.

"Yes Steve I'm fine, just like I was 10 minutes ago" he nods and goes to get up again but I take his hand "come on Harrington there's nothing you can do for now"

"I could go help the others make the weapons, if el can't kill him and we can't kill him then you die and I'm not letting that happen" he responds decisively.

"they've got it under control, stick to the plan remember, you  stay with me until tomorrow while the others get ready" he sighs and sits back down.

I gently lay him in my lap and play with his hair. "I know.. I just feel like I could be doing more to help" he sighs "el suggested she might be able to fight vecna from your mind as well if she can use good memories"

"Oh that's not a great idea, she shouldn't do that" i reply

"Why not?" he looks up at me

"Harrington most of my my happy memories are either playing DND or in this room, she goes to the wrong one and we might scar we for life"

He laughs "well if she sees that shit you're dealing with it you nasty freak" he jokes

I roll my eyes "you're so annoying" I tease

He smiles "yeah you love Me" he leans up and kisses me.

"Hey so if I die-" he puts his hand over my mouth before I can finish

"You're not gonna die" i smiles and move his hand

"I know, but IF I die, obviously I would let Dustin Mike and will have my DnD stuff, and probably give Dustin my guitar as well, but I have nothing to leave you, like ugh you're such a basic white boy you wouldn't like any of my shit" I say half  joking

He laughs a bit "I'll just have your nerdy jackets"

"You wear those anyway" I smile. "Also what should I wear tomorrow, I can't wear my leather jacket cuz if I get snapped it might rip and I don't wanna mess up any of your clothes so-" I start rambling but he stops me

"You'll look hot no matter what you wear Munson, but stop worrying, you're gonna be ok" he holds my hand

"I know. I never said I wasn't gonna be"

"You're trying to distract yourself from the fact that you're about to go face to face with someone that wants to kill you, but it's ok to be scared, I'm fucking terrified for you" he sits up and looks at me

I nod "yeah.. yeah I know but I trust you guys.. besides, Henderson will have my music right?" I ask.

He nods "definitely" he smiles and tucks back my hair "just make sure this Vecna guy doesn't mess up your hair ok?"

I laugh "I'll make sure I tell him that before he tries to kill me"

"Good" he smiles "hey why don't we get together with the kids tonight and try to blow off some Steam before tomorrow" he suggests

I nod "that sounds fun" I grab my radio out of my bag and turn it on "hey Henderson you there?"

"Eddie! Where the fuck have you been?! Patrick got murdered and we didn't hear from you, we thought he something happened" he screams into the radio

"Shit, relax I'm fine ok, Steve's here with me, just make sure max had music or something, but I doubt vecna will strike again today" i reply and look at Steve and offer him the radio

He nods and takes it when I hand it to him "Henderson? Look downs probably not a great time, but why don't you guys some over and we can try to cheer you up for Tomorrow"

"I guess, but Lukas is kinda upset about it, he was friends with Patrick" max says, I guess they're all listening.

"Is he ok? Maybe he shouldn't come tomorrow"  Steve says worried. It's so cute how much he cares about these kids, he's like their mum

"I'm fine really, I just wanna kill that son of a bitch, we'll be over soon" Lukas says and they turn off the radio
