~3 weeks till Christmas~

You and Eddie don't get many of the same days off from work, but today was one of them and you had to head back to your moms house , AKA your childhood home, and also now your 2nd home under your own apartment with Eddie, Uncle Wayne's place being 3rd.
You still stored a couple things at your moms like childhood photo albums and important papers you didn't trust yourself with, bedroom was still kept the same for whenever you planned on staying over. 
You needed to stop by to help your mom bring down a couple boxes of Christmas decorations from the attic, she also said you and Ed can help yourself to any of them for the tree you were going to buy later today.
She wasn't going to be home due to her therapy and a work meeting right after.

"Eddieeeee...? I'm ready before you! Are you done getting dolled up?"
You shout from the livingroom, getting a couple minutes of crime docs in while he was getting ready for the day, you were up first like most of the time.
Couple minutes later the familiar sound of pant chains and keys rattling walked out of the bedroom.
"Readyyy"
He says grabbing his jacket from the coat hanger, you turn off the TV and stand up, getting a better look now at his clothes.
"...When did you get that?"
You ask with a smile, nodding at his shirt he matched OBVIOUSLY with black ripped jeans.
"Oh this?  Henderson made if for me, it's Hail Santa"
He smiles stretching out the bottom of his shirt so you can get a better look at it.

"I liiike, that's a cool outfit Eds"
You reply getting some hair out from under his jacket for him.
"Fit for the season hu?  Thank you,I like yours sweetheart, nice Ozzy shirt"
He grins tugging at the bottom of it.
"Oh this old thing? Meh, some random dudes I don't even remember his name"
You tease with a little smirk in the corner of your lips, grabbing your own set of keys from the bowl and unlocking the front door.
"Is that right? Well he's got good taste, I bet he's hot"
Playing along with you as he stands behind you, resting a hand on your side.
"....Eh, he's alright I guess"
You chuckle stepping out of the apartment, instantly hit with cold crispy air, not followed by Eddie as you soon realise, turning around seeing him still standing in the doorway.
Crossing your arms knowing where this was about to go
"...He's alright?  Allllright?  He sounds pretty fucking great to me yn"
Copying you in crossing his arms, licking the inside of his cheek pretending to me offended.
"Letting all the heat out"
You tell him with a laugh,

he uncrosses one arm and steps outside properly closing up the apartment, then going right back to standing his ground. 
You both just stare at eachother for a minute, knowing he wasn't going to crack till you "apologise" .
"He's a really cool person, the best actually , and yes he's hot , like..
Soooo,so hot"
Cooing the "soooo" all exaggerated and lovey, which made him grin, finally locking up the front door and jogging over to you a few feet away, throwing his arm over your shoulder and pecking your cheek with a kiss.

----Mom's----

When you arrived mom was out as you knew, Eddie made some coffee to get warm which you both drank just sitting in the kitchen like old times before getting all the boxes down from the attic, it took a moment as you couldn't decide who was going up there.

"Love, I'll just do it if you don't wanna see cobwebs.."
Eddie offered leaning against the wall in the upstairs hallway as you look up at the attic.
"Mmm, do you think they'd be occupied? It's been a year since anyone's been up there..."
You ask pulling a thinking face, Eddie was finding it amusing.
"I really don't know, maybe. So I'll just do it and pass them down"
He says leaning off the wall sorting out the ladder.
"Uhh..Pass what down?"
You reply slightly worried at that, he turns round giving you a look
"The boxes , sweetheart, what else?"
He laughs and you put your hand to your chest sighing in relief.
"Oh thank God I thought you ment you were going to pass the spiders...few!"
Drying the imaginary sweat from your forehead, you were being serious though and Eddie knew it.
"No.."

He laughs at you, making you stick out your tongue at him.
"Yeah yeah very funny, get up the ladder so I can look at your ass"
You say playfully nudging his shoulder, he turned to you again
"Excuse me? So you can do what..."
"So I can hold the ladder steady while you climb, safety Eddie, what elseee"
He just gave you a sarcastic smile and headed up the ladder. You giggle.
"Stop looking at my ass you little pervvv"
He says as he gets into the attic.
He carefully passes each of the big 4 boxes down to you, not letting go till he knew you had it, making extra sure with a "you got it?"  Before he let go.

Deciding to look through the boxes in the livingroom, the first two boxes full where for a tree so you picked out a couple with Eddie's help, setting it all into a pile to the side of what you wanted.
On to the third box, full of tinsel and other decors, digging to the bottom pulling out a tangled ball of lights
"Yaaay,  ok I think mom has a few lights so we can definitely take some of these. Just need to untangle them"
You tell Eddie who nods agreeing with you as he digs into the same box, you set the lights in your lap and start untangling them, a slow but oddly kinda therapeutic.
Focused on the knots you didn't notice Eddie had found something in the box till he patted your knee, making you look over at him with a big smile on his face and an arm up above his own head, you was quick to notice the mistletoe he was holding and raised a brow,  he just grinned.
"And what's that?"
You ask turning to face him properly
"Hm? *he looks up at his hand*  ohh! How did that get there...well, that would be mistletoe, you know what that means?"

He asks like he was telling a kids story, you chuckle, knowing exactly what it was but you wanted to tease with it so you shook your head.
"Well, it started in ancient Greece..... that's all I know but you kiss under it at Christmas soooo....."
He makes pouty lips at you, arm getting tired he sits the mistletoe ontop of his head.
Of course you'd kiss him, but you couldn't help yourself with the teasing.
Leaning over you give him a quick peck on the lips and sit back down, just as you thought, his lips stayed slightly pouted, watching as you sat back down he raised a brow.
"You wanna try that again?"
He asks.
"Whatever could you mean Eddi-"
You go to say, getting stopped by him rolling his eyes and kneeling up so he was towering over you slightly, grabbing you by the chin, roughly but never enough to hurt you, and kissing you properly.
Pulling away a little you look up at him,  both your eyes full of lust staring into eachother, you sit up on your knees a bit resting both hands on his sides, leaning in to kiss again which picked up fast, his hand drops from your chin and slides across your face to the side of your head.

Leaning down over you more your hands lightly graze his side's over his shirt causing him to softly hum against the kiss,  his tongue slowly and teasingly brushes your bottom lip.
Not hearing the front door you both were lost in eachother and the kiss,  about to let his tongue in till your mom's heard, this time walking in on you and Eddie, making you both pull away.
Your eyes shoot over to her just standing in the doorway, she didn't look as if she was about to scream at you both, her face was soft with a small smile.
"H-hi mom, how was the meeting?"
"Hmm? Oh my meeting was fine, thanks sweetie. And how's everything going here?"
She asks gesturing at the boxes and mess of decorations.
"Its Good...! Um, we got the boxes down for you, just looking at all the stuff, nothing- not, not doing much, Eddie...?"
You reply slightly panicking you got walked in on as you were just about to have Eddies tongue in your mouth,  Before staring at him like 'bitch say something'  but he's just grinning at you, seeing you get all flustered around your mom.

He keeps it cool until your  mom gives him a gentle but knowing look like she knew what was going on but it was fine.
His face flushes red and finally says something.

"U-uh yeah not doing much, we found uh...tinsel!"
You quietly sigh scratching your brow, gesturing at Eddie with one hand as he grabbed a bunch of tinsel from the box to show your mom
"There's a bunch of the stuff hunny, might be in all the boxes.....probably some Mistletoe in there also"
She looks at Eddie with a raised brow and smiles before walking back into the kitchen.
You playfully slap his arm.
"Ah-ow...!"
He just chuckles rubbing his arm.
"Tinsel? Really?"
"I panicked okay she gave me that look she always gave us as kids when she knew we did something!......
Shit she saw me like grabbing your face and kissing you"
His eyes widen at your face.
"......Ok and your freaking out becauseeee? what..?
*tries not to laugh real loud*
Eddie, it's fineee. She isn't going to kill you, besides don't you think if she did then she'd of done it right then and there?"
You reassure,pushing his chest playfully so he sits back on the floor
"All safe Eds, no need to worry. You really think mom would kill you for that? You funny"
He exhales and clutches his chest
In relief
"I love the woman so much but she is SCARY when she's mad, you know this"

He says in a whisper yell, throwing some tinsel on your head, before resting a hand on the side of your jaw, rubbing his thumb over your bottom lip.
"I guess this is why it's good we have our own place huh...?"
He whispers, you freeze for a second just looking up at him giving a small nod, now sat on your knees again while he's up on his.
Whenever he'd touch you like that you'd almost become hypnotized, not helping but part your lips just slightly as his thumb brushes against them, Eddie's does the same watching you and puts more pressure against your lips with his thumb.
Snapping from your trance blinking a couple times and holding his wrist, dropping your face down to your lap.
"The- I need to untangle the lights"
You stutter clearning your throat.
"Ah shit right, you're right."
He says coming back to attention brushing against your hands absentmindedly helping to untangle the lights, face stuck a bright red.
When your mom comes back she looks at Eddie quizzically, and presses the back of her hand to his forehead
"Eddie dear, are you alright? You're bright red do you have a fever?"
She knows full well why he's all flustered but just playing it off.

"Hm? Oh, no I'm I'm fine, no fever it's hot in here that's all"
He says giving your mom a smile and airing out his hoodie.
The snow had started to come down harder, it was freezing out and indoors was slightly chilly till mom put on the heating to warm up only minutes ago.
"Mhmm, well dear if you start feeling off, you know where you can go lie down"
she says fluffing up his hair as if he was six again.
Walking behind him and giving you a look now, with a small grin and a raised eyebrow.
"I'm going to lay down kids, take whatever you'd like for decorations, and if you leave before I'm up give me a call once you're at your apartment okay?"
You and Eddie both nod at her, she's never called the apartment your "home" , you didn't mind of course, knowing that she wants this place to always be that for you and Eddie.
"Thanks mom, we'll call once we're back at the apartment"
You reassured her, once she was out of the room and could be heard walking up the stairs,  Eddie let out an exaggerated sigh laying his head back against the sofa.

"Dramatic ass"
You mumble fiddling with the lights.
He lifts his head back up, giving you a look.

".....What?  Chopchop Eddie, whatever we're taking put in this empty box"
Using the box the lights were stored in for the things you'd be taking back.
He lets out another exaggerated groan burying his face in the cushion for dramatic effect.
Rolling your eyes, throwing some of the lights that never got used into the box, taking a bow out of it and sticking it to his forehead then pressing a kiss to his temple.
"Cmon devil spawn, let's pack this stuff up."
Eddie shakes his head grinning at you,

"Wrong place sweetheart"
He takes the bow off his forehead and sticks it to his crotch.
"...There, a gift"
He laughs at himself like some teenage boy
"Very nice belt Eds"
You add, patting it on for him though it wasn't on his belt, it was right on his crotch and you knew it. 
Once the boxes finally get packed up, and mom was still asleep, you help put out a few of the decorations so she wasn't stuck doing it all herself, and putting away what didn't go up for Decor.
You both left while she was still asleep with a box of stuff to use, Eddie chose to take the mistletoe with him as well, you didn't bother to fight him over it.

----Tree shopping----

6pm.

You didn't spend much time at the apartment after dropping off the boxes of decorations from your mom's place before heading out the door again.
This time going to the small christmas tree market in town, it was getting dark out and it snowed a little again so the roads were pretty slushy to drive on.

"Are you sure you measured the spot right where the trees gonna go Eds?"
You ask, Wrapping a thick scarf around your neck and tucking it inside your hoodie for extra warmth, fucking hated the cold.
You asked not because he was incapable, but because getting a tree was his idea, he even moved stuff out of the way for where he wanted to put it in the apartment livingroom, you did suggest just getting a fake one and putting it together yourself but he was positive on getting a real tree,
promising to clean up all the pines himself if he could get it, like a kid asking their parents for a puppy and promising to walk it and clean up its crap.
"Yesss I did, twice to be extra sure. I know what to look for don't worry"
He smiles all excited.

hopping out of the van and helping you out.
It was a cute small town market, decorated with christmas lights, some food stalls scattered about the place, one being a hotchocolate stall which you begged Eddie for a bit later on, you wanted to look at the trees first before anything else. 
Walking around the place for a couple minutes, the trees where organised in size from small medium large and extra large, Eddie was sure the spot he had in mind for the livingroom a medium tree would definitely be a good fit.
"This one's pretty..."
You say looking around one you spotted,Eddie looks over from the one beside it
"Yeah that's pretty, what about this one though? It's more poofy , the decorations won't look real spaced out on it like that one.."
He says giving you a quick smile before checking the tree over.
"...You don't like my tree? What's wrong if the decorations are like...real distant from eachother"
You pout, Eddie sighs and pulls you over to him by your hoodie.

"Sweetheart, it doesn't exactly look like a healthy tree, one bauble and the thing will topple right over"
He smiles poking your pouted lip with his finger, you couldn't help but chuckle a little at what he said about one bauble taking the whole tree out.
Playfully slapping his hand away
"No it wouldn'tttt, and yours is better is it?  The thing looks JUST like you in the morning, poofy lions mane, all over the place. 
And look, the tops far too tall Eddie...thats not gonna fit in the apartment, or where your wanting to put it, there's not going to leave much room to walk in and out of the front door.."
Crossing your arms pretending to sulk, roasting his choice in trees as best you could, but it just makes him laugh laying his head back.
"Alright ok, fine...I see your point about the branches,  it is kinda wide, we'll look for another"
He agrees laying his arm over your shoulder, locking your fingers together.

"Ok, then let's get th-"
Your about to say till Eddie stops you by kissing your temple with a smile, gently walking you away from it, not allowing you to pick the "unhealthy" looking tree.
"Heeey it's gingerbread"
Eddie says, pointing out infront of him,spotting Max who walked over to the both of you.
"Gingerbread...?"

She says, looking at Eddie unamused.
"...Yeah, cus you know, your hairs red and it's Christmas, you- you get gingerbread at Christmas time..."
Max just crosses her arms staring at him, you couldn't help but chuckle quietly at how intimidated she made Eddie feel.
"....Heeey It's Red!"
He starts over again, she smiles at him this time.
"Hi Dweeeeb!"
She replies with a genuine smile.
"Nice save Ed's, Max, what're you doing here on your own??"
You ask her a little concerned, it was getting pretty dark out, though it didn't look it with all the lights hanging about.
She sighs,
"I should've come alone honestly, or with you guys if I knew you were heading here. Butttt I dragged Billy. Neil had shit to say about it when Billy refused to take me"

You and Eddie both roll your eyes at the mention of Billy.
"So what, has he just ditched you now?"
Eddie asks.
"Mooore I ditched him, he's talking to some blondy over there somewhere telling me
"We'll look for a damn tree in a second Maxine shut up" So I slipped away and he didn't even notice."
"We're looking at trees right now, actually...you could come with us to look. If you want?"
You smile, Max was always welcome to come alone.
"Grab you a hotchocolate if you want one? There's a stall over there"
Eddie adds and she nods with a big smile.

"Sure! Thanks, I don't think Billy would give a shit"
She adds with a shrug.
"Yeah well who cares if he does. Let's go find you a tree and Max, honey.."
You say stepping infront of her, undoing her scarf and tying it up properly so it covers her ears which were bright red
"You're gonna freeze like that."
Eddie scruffs her hair up a little but she didnt mind.
"He's not in a great mood because Neil made him take me after he refused so hopefully he'll stay away."

Max ended up finding a pretty good tree, you and Eddie ended up hunting for hers instead of your own.
Till the fun was sadly cut short with Billy spotting all three of you.
"Maxine....! MAXINE"
Billy shouts as he walks over.

"The fuck do you think your doing?  Grabbing a fucking tree was the deal then I get your dumb ass back home"
He spits, Max sighs and turns around to him
"Yeeah,  it was, till you pissed off with some girl, then I saw yn and Eddie and they took me around. I'm getting the tree"
Rolling her eyes and turns back to you both.
"If you don't pick one in the next 5 minutes I swear to god you little shit"
He says yanking her over to him by the back of her scarf, hearing Max cough from how hard Billy had yanked her by the scarf and without really thinking you bring your hand across Billys face, hard, hard enough that it was loud, pushing Max behind your back and standing between them.
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?"
Eddie saw the whole thing, making sure he kept Max away while keeping his eyes on you, mostly Billy by standing beside you.
The area you were standing at went silent, the slap and shouting got peoples attention.

Billy licked the inside of his cheek, probably because it stung but who gives a shit.
"Hit me again, I dare you"
He spits taking a step towards you, that's when Eddie stepped in pulling you back.
"Don't you fucking threaten her"

Billy laughs taking a long drag of the cigarette in his mouth , blowing the smoke right at Eddie, who was unbothered.
"Aw she brought her fucking guard dog how adorable! She raised her fucking hands first asshole, maybe reign in your bitch and she won't get threatened."
Eddie steps in his space more, clenching his fists at what he had said about you but trying to keep cool with Max right behind him.
"Yeah she did and you fucking deserved it ,again, this time for assaulting a minor you dick. You may live with her but keep your damn hands off of Max Hargrove"
"I didn't fucking assault her you dick"
He scoffs thinking it was funny.
"...UHYeah, you fucking did, you yanked her by the neck and choked her"
Eddie spits right back.
"Oh please she was playing it up for dramatic effect tell them Maxine admit you're a fucking faker"
"Aww don't worry Billy I won't tell your daddy you assaulted me if that's why your shaking, but you run along and tell Mom and Neil that you dropped me at a friend's and I'll be back in a couple hours, oh, and take that back"

She says pointing to the tree she had picked out.
Eddie keeps a hand on Billys chest keeping him from stepping closer to you or Red.
"You heard her, take the tree, and walk prick."
Billy scoffs taking his cigarette from between his finger, pointing it towards you over Eddie's shoulder.
"keep an eye on your little pet Munson."
He says stomping out the cigarette and leaving.
As soon as Billy turns his back Eddie went to sock him in the side of the head but you grabbed his fist, getting a pissed look from hom which was more aimed at what Billy had said and not so much at you, though he was slightly annoyed you had stopped it.

"Eddie...! It's fine, it's fine..."
You whisper shout at him, thankfully Billy didn't turn back around once he walked off, but you still gave Eddie a serious look because Max was standing right behind the both of you.
"Especially not in front of her."
Still whispering quietly, giving his hand a squeeze he still looked annoyed, at what had been said and more importantly that Billy had gotten away with it without a scratch, though that slap may have left a mark.
"Maxy are you okay?”
You ask turning your attention to her, cupping her face so you could get a look at her neck.
Max nods unbothered.
"I'm good, niiiice slap by the way"
She smiles impressed then looks over at Eddie.
"You good metalhead? Need to go punch some bags of dirt? I saw some at the front"
Joking with him mostly but knowing he wanted to punch Billy and didn't get a chance this time.
He sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose.

"Nah, no I'm alright, and I'm glad you are too. Guess I'm just a little jealous she got a decent hit in and I didn't"
He says with a half smirk at the both of you.
"That really was a great slap yn"
Max laughs a little at you,crossing your arms giving her a proud nod as a Thank you.
"It sure was impressive"
Eddie adds giving you a small smirk raising a brow.
"Alright girlsss I still need a tree"
He says in his best girly voice he could do, putting a hand on top of Max's head to lightly move her in the middle of himself and you while walking.
After wandering around and flipping off a couple of people that chose to stop and stare at the scene, you finally picked a tree, and without needing to say much it was just decided Max was going to come over for a bit, neither of you really feeling okay sending her home to Billy after that shit.

----Home----

Once all three of you got back, the tree got put up and decorated with Max's help, Eddie's tree measurements were sliiighly off, but just the top of the tree, it would've touched the ceiling if you had put a decoration on it, and he didn't want to cut it so you agreed on just not putting anything on the top part, but other than that it fitted in the spot perfectly in your livingroom.
Eddie bought two gingerbread house kits from the market, one for himself and you, the other for Max.
They decided to open them both up already and do one together at the table, you didn't mind and just let Eddie do it on his own, it was good seeing Max stress free, not worrying about shit at home and having fun.
You were making up some bologne for dinner, overhearing the both of them from the kitchen just smiling to yourself.

"Where the hell did my icing go..."
Eddie asks lifting up the box looking for his bag, not noticing Max was eating his icing, while gluing candy to her gingerbread house with her own.
"Red, what the hell?"
Finally noticing her.
"What?! You spent too much time looking for pictures in that baking book, it was gonna get all gross anyways"

"I needed some inspo for my house,Which is lacking a roof because your eating my glue!"
She just smiles at him.
"It's called icing not glue and one of your sides has fallen down"
"Icing , glue, same thing it sticks stuff together"
He adds waving his hand about.
"You can make moreeeee there's a whole bag of powdered sugar right there, big baby"
Max shook her head, squeezing icing into her mouth.
"..But that- that was mine, you stole it"
He grabs the bag of powdered sugar to make more, sprinkling a decent amount into the palm of his hand and holds it in a fist.
"....Hey Red you've got icing in your hair dude" 
He reaches over the table like he was gonna get it for her, but instead blows the powder out of his hand making a big dusty cloud infront of her face.

"You dick!"
Maxes eyes go wide trying not to laugh and cough on the powder, taking a handful herself and throwing it at Eddie, leaving them both covered in white powder.
Neither of them noticing that you had come out of the kitchen, just watching the madness unfold.
"HEYHEY your messing up the table"
Eddie says blowing powder off his face, joking with her of course as he grabs another handful and throws it at her this time instead of blowing it, so it gets her right on the side of the face.
Max gasps laughing, lunging at the bag but Eddie grabs it also, It just turns into them yanking the bag back and forth playfighting for it.
They both stop cold in their tracks when they hear the click of a polaroid camera and a bright flash
"Yep, I'm keeping this one. You better be planning to clean this up later Eddie."
You say walking back into the kitchen to check on the food, smiling at the photo you just took and sticking it onto the fridge.


Max stayed for dinner and all three of you ate together while watching "Killer Party", another you picked up from work.
When it was time to take her home you and Eddie decided it would be best if both of you went, if Billy was there it wouldn't be a good idea for Eddie to go alone, nor did he want you going alone, you wouldn't even get very far at suggesting you took Max back without protest from Eddie so you didn't even bother.
Luckily Billy wasn't home so Max had no trouble when she got back, walked up to her house by you and Ed of course.

Once back the both of you got to sorting up the apartment, Eddie was cleaning up the rest of the powdered sugar fight and you were doing dishes after dinner.
Ed walks into the kitchen, grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge and kissing your temple while your washing up.
"Thank you for dinner"

He says in a whisper before heading out the kitchen.
Little things like that,thank yous, made your stomach flip in the best way possible, no one has a role in the apartment, whoever just happens to be in the kitchen making food, will make it for the both of you.
You both do the exact same things around the apartment, it's never a one persons set job to do and you and Eddie have always been that way  equally sharing jobs.

It was pretty late so once you finished up you headed to get ready for bed, Eddie had already used the bathroom so you went to grab some pjs first before taking a shower.
Walking into the room to see Ed standing on the bed putting up mistletoe.
You stop in your tracks and just stand there watching him with your arms crossed, you knew he took the mistletoe from your mom's place, but you thought he'd of put it somewhere in the apartment, other than your bedroom, though you didn't mind, Eddie was after all a cheeky, dirty minded, but sweet boy.
"What do you think your doing?"
You ask keeping your arms crossed.
"Decorating,what's it look like I'm doing sweetheart"
He replies looking over his shoulder at you with a smile.
"Yeah? With Mistletoe? Above the bed of all places in the apartment?"
"You want it out in the open where you could end up under it with Steve?"
He asks knowing Steve is like your brother and it makes your skin crawl.
"Ah okay Jesus, thank you for that image, fine"
You shiver walking over to the dresser.
"That's what I thought"
He adds finishing sticking it up then turns back around grinning, then sits on the bed smiling at you all sweetly with his hands held together in his lap.

You turn around to see him.
"I'm not kissing you Eddie"
You say walking back to the doorway where you stand, reaching a hand into your back pocket.
His face drops and gives you a nod he understood, though you didn't mean it, that face still made your heart ache.
".........You kiss me"
You add, pulling out a small bit from your back pocket that you sneaked out with, and holding it above your head. 
As quickly as he had looked defeated his face brightened up again, wasting no time incase you change your mind, practically throwing himself off the edge of the bed and pulling you against him the second he was close enough to do so, closing the gap between lips.

Cradling the side of your face with one hand, and the other flush against your back open palmed.
The kiss wasn't anything hungry or rough, it was soft and slow moving, his hand stayed cradling the side of your face the whole time,
While one of your hands hold his wrist, the other gently grazing against the back of his neck, gliding up against his scalp.
You both smile before the kiss breaks

Eddie nudging your noses together.
"I can take it down.."
He says rubbing his thumb across your cheek bone, you simply just shake your head no giving him a soft smile before pecking his lips once more, it made his cheeks flush a light pink.
He smiles back and drops his hand to the side of your neck, pressing his lips to your forehead between your brows, before throwing himself back onto the bed like a happy school boy who just had his first kiss, though you and Eddie have kissed many times, yes and amongst other things.
You left him to blush and made your way to the bathroom, getting ready for bed then returning back to the room.

Eddie pulls open the covers that he was already under, both arms out for you to jump in, you do, landing right ontop of him and he closes the covers over the both of you like a venus flytrap.
