"Now I can go back to school! I mean...it must be dreadfully boring without me there, Eve..." Eddie giggled while grabbing onto my hand tighter.
He was right. Everyone would only talk about the stupid earthquake still. It's been weeks. That and no one's there to make a ruckus like Eddie used to.
School lunches have been...pretty normal without him there. No one took his place. The Hellfire club kind of just ate in silence without someone to start the conversations. At the very least they'd be excited to have him back.
"Yeah... it has been." I softly smiled while sliding my hand to his arm. "Let's get you into bed, shall we?"
"Steve...we haven't even been on our first date yet and you already want to take me to bed? What kind of man do you take me for?" He smirked at me with that stupid face that I couldn't help but like.
"Oh shut up Munson you knew what I meant." I slowly grabbed onto his other arm and lightly lifted "you're gonna have to help me a little bit so this isn't awkward and you get hurt, alright?"
Eddie slowly nodded as he got up from the chair and transitioned over to the bed. "Thanks for...ya know...helping."
I felt a smile start to form on the corners of my lips "yeah...I mean...what are boyfriends for, right?"
Eddie's cheeks slowly started to turn a light shade of pink. "Boyfriends?"
"Oh my...don't tell me you forgot, Munson." I laughed slightly under my breath before getting onto his bed as well to lay next to him. It was a tight squeeze but we were relatively skinny so we made it work.
"I mean... yes but no... just a lot has happened since that day, Eve." His eyebrows slightly furrowed before he let out a light chuckle. "But yeah...you're my boyfriend, huh?"
"Mhm"
"God I wish I could see your face. I hope you're blushing as much as I am, Harrington." Eddie chuckled before slightly leaning upwards to point at his face.
I lightly chuckled before sitting up as well. "My face is warm, yes...but it's not really something to miss, Eds."
Eddie shook his head lightly. "It definitely is something to miss. Your...stupid...attractive face."
I laughed before leaning my head back down "yeah you...can't see it anymore though...this...stupid face you talk of."
Eddie's smile slowly faded until his mouth turned into a fine line. "I have a crazy idea, Stevie."
"And that is...?"
"Can I...touch your face? I know I can't see it but...but I could feel it...I know I probably won't get anything from it but I mean-"
"Eds. You're rambling."
"I am...aren't I.." he softly chuckled before tucking some of his hair behind his ear. "It was a stupid idea... I mean you don't ha-"
"I'd love that, Eddie."
Eddie's face slowly turned into almost a tomato while a grin formed. "Really...?"
"Yeah...I mean...I can't guarantee it's not all sweaty from running you around almost the entirety of the hospital but...yeah. I'd like that."
"So like, right now then?" Eddie lightly raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah...I mean...why not? When else?"
Eddie slowly reached his hands up to cup his hands around my cheeks. They were so warm.
He slowly started to slide his fingertips along every edge of my face. His calluses were a bit rough to the touch but I didn't care. It came with having a guitar player boyfriend. He looked...so happy.
"Are you enjoying yourself, Eds?" I teased. This moment...could last forever. It didn't matter that I was sweaty. It didn't matter that Eddie could only touch my face. It couldn't help but...feel romantic.
Eddie's smile grew before nodding back at me. "I mean...It's you, Steve...why wouldn't I?"
I slowly put my hands over Eddie's and pulled them down off of my face. "...can I kiss you?"
"What?" Eddie's eyes quickly becoming large at the suggestion.
"I said...can I kiss you?" I repeated it in a slightly more serious tone before squeezing his hands.
"No, I...I heard you the first time it just kinda threw me for a loop." Eddie quietly laughed while looking down.
I let go of one of his hands to lift his chin up so I could see his face. "So...can I? You never answered the question..."
"I mean...we're in the hospital room still...didn't you want to wait?" Eddie's face slowly becoming more red by the second.
"I can't wait anymore. It's been three weeks, Eddie. We can like...pull the curtain or something. I'll ask you again. Can I kiss you?"
Eddie took a moment to pause before nodding. "Close the curtain though..."
I nodded as I leaned over to drag the curtain across half of the view of the bed. "Better? It's covering us now."
"Yeah...better." Eddie softly smiled.
I placed one of my hands onto Eddie's cheeks and leaned in slowly to kiss him. His face felt so warm against mine. I felt like butter melting against him.
This moment...felt so perfect. Like nothing could ever tear us apart...and I hoped...that that was true.
Every single difficulty I'd go through again...just to be able to be with him. My childhood friend. My rock. My soulmate.
My hand slowly slid onto the back of his head, weaving my fingers between his curls as I pulled him closer to me. He felt so nice. I wanted him as close as possible.
Our kiss slowly became more passionate as we went on. Eddie pulling me closer to him as he bit my lip kinda hard.
"Ow.."
"Oh shit...did I hurt you? Sorry...kinda got too excited..."
"No no it's fine it just surprised me is all Eds....I actually...wouldn't mind if you did it again...?"
Eddie's eyebrows quickly shot up before smirking "is that sooo, Harrington?~"
My face soon became very hot. "Shut up...I shouldn't have said anything."
"No! I'm glad you did! Just...didn't take you for the pain type is all." He laughed while grabbing my hand tightly. "Kinda kinky"
"EDDIE!" My face became even warmer before I covered my face with my hands. I knew he couldn't see me but...maybe if I couldn't see him it wouldn't be as embarrassing. It didn't work.
"What? You like it rough! I can get behind that" Eddie's voice was basically dripping with confidence. It was nice but super embarrassing.
My heart was racing out of my chest. He knew how to press my buttons...too well. "Eddie... stop...you're killing me."
"Well...probably best we stopped anyways...can't be too rough on my poor rickety bones." He teased before laying back down with his lip hanging out like a puppy.
"Oh...you're right." I awkwardly laughed before laying beside him. "But once you're healed...maybe we could...continue where we left off?"
"Oh?" Eddie nudged my side. "Harrington's getting bold now?"
"Oh my god shut up! I will smack you." I joke while nudging him back.
"Bet you won't....and even if you did...you're probably into it." He nudged me even harder with a wide grin.
"God I hate you." I sighed with a wide smile. Even though Eddie was a huge tease...I couldn't help but secretly enjoy it. No way in hell I'm telling him that though.
"I hate you too, Harrington." He quickly kissed my cheek. "Sarcastic...of course"
"I know. I was being sarcastic as well, Eds."
Eddie slowly got closer to me to rest his head into my chest before sighing. "I hope this is fine."
I felt my heart start to pound as I looked at the top of Eddie's head. This was real? Eddie Munson? On me? DATING me? Jesus...this is a dream. It has to be. "Yeah... more than fine Eds."
As time passed, he ended up falling asleep on me. I didn't want to move. I never wanted to move. He was...so peaceful.
I wish this moment would last forever...I'll do anything for it to.
