Hospital Meet Cute
Eddie Munson x Reader

โWhat are you in for?โ
They were the first words that had been spoken directly to you for what felt like hours. The bright white of the room and the smell of cleaner was overwhelming enough, but you were nursing a headache that was beginning to really worry you. In all honesty, you probably should have been rushed back to be examined the second you arrived to the hospital, but it had been well over an hour wait now with no end in sight.ย
You looked to your right, where the boy who had spoken was sitting and looking at you. He looked almost as bad as you, a bloody nose that you assumed was broken, a split lip, and a black eye just beginning to darken. You were almost too exhausted to answer him at all, but what you could muster came out much more rude than you had intended.ย
โCanโt be sure until they actually get me checked out,โ you sighed, checking the time on the wall yet again. Only 15 seconds had passed since the last time you glanced, it was still nearing midnight, your bad day hadnโt yet ended.ย
โHow long have you been here?โย
The Price of a Kiss - Eddie Munson x reader

A/N - Tiiiniest little drabble from my drafts because I feel bad not being able to post any new writing, 1k words
โWhatโs this?โ Eddieโs eyes weren't even looking at the rock you were holding up in front of him, his dark, doe brown eyes were linked to yours, and he wasnโt planning on looking away.
โA rock,โ you smiled proudly at him, the small stone glinting softly in the sunlight as you held it up, with tiny streaks of crystal scattering the light and reflecting onto his face.
โI can see itโs a rock sweetheart,โ he said as he picked the small rock from your fingers before holding it up to the sunlight and admiring it. โBut why?โ
โI dunno- I saw it and it looked pretty, I wanted to give it to you,โ you wrung your hands together as you spoke and in that moment Eddie knew you had to be the most adorable creature to ever walk this earth-
โSo you saved it? Brought it all the way here to me?โ Eddie asked you with big eyes, the rock long since pocketed in his black ripped jeans, and you nodded in response to his question, biting your lip ever so slightly.
โWhy thank you sweetheart,โ his voice was soft as he spoke, and he was close enough that you could hear every slight shift in his voice, every breath and tone change. Eddieโs arm was wrapped around your waist bringing you impossibly close to him. โHow could I ever repay you?โ
It was painstakingly clear what he wanted, his lips were hovering over yours, almost brushing but just barely not, yet you could still swear you would know what he would taste like when he finally kissed you.
โA kiss perhaps?โ your eyebrows raised ever so slightly and you tipped your head to the side, pursing your lips together as you looked at him.
โA fair trade indeed,โ Eddie cooed at you softly, his rough hands grabbing your face and cupping it in his hands before he connected your lips together. His lips slightly chapped, but yet they were always softer than you expected, and he kissed you with such gentle care almost as if he was worried about shattering you in his grip.
โThere, I think that is reward enough donโt you?โ Before you could protest Eddieโs lips had left yours and you could tell he was fighting back the smirk that was nipping at the corner of his mouth. You pouted at him and stood on your tiptoes to try and reach his lips, which easily cracked his facade and his grin broke out over his face.
โNuh-uh my love, that wasnโt our deal, Iโll suppose youโll just have to trade me more.โ
That was the first time you and Eddie exchanged a trade, and it was only the first of many times. After that you did whatever you could to find things to trade with him. Little knick knacks, a scrunchie, more pretty rocks you would pick up on the walk to his trailer, and once you made him a friendship bracelet that had him peppering your face in kisses.
โYou know, I think you might end up collecting all the pebbles in Hawkins if you keep this up,โ he once told you just before he gave you your well earned kiss. โI donโt care- if it means youโll kiss me like that again Iโll do anything.
โWell, do you have something else to trade with me?โ
It wasnโt as if he wouldnโt gladly give you as many kisses as you wanted, all you had to do was ask him, and you did. But you still loved the little trades you shared, and you loved finding little things to trade with him.
It almost became a little game to you, find the prettiest rock, the most perfect shell, make him something that you knew he would appreciate for more than just your small deals.
However, what you didnโt know was that Eddie kept everything you traded him, while he would pocket whatever little trinket you had brought him, when he got home, or when you werenโt looking he would slip it into the little box he had started keeping under his bed.
Even the bracelet you made for him, after he had given you your kiss he excitedly asked you to help him tie it around his wrist and after that it became a regular accessory, sitting just below his usual leather cuff. It was almost a little funny seeing the hand braided colourful friendship bracelet tied around his wrist next to the hard and cut black leather, it was such a stark contrast that it shouldnโt make sense yet somehow it did so perfectly.
It was almost like a sense of pride for him, every now and then he would reach under his bed to fumble around for the box, pouring out all the small trinkets onto his bed just to scoop them all up into his hands. Like a goblin would with his gold coins.
And it would lead to the silliest little pieces of conversation between the two of you. Like the time you were sitting on the couch, his hand tangled with yours when you pulled a slightly cracked shell out of your pocket, you didnโt even have to say anything. He simply picked it from your hand and started examining it against the dimmed light in the trailer living room.
โI donโt think this is enough for a kiss my love, my rates have gone up,โ his voice was silky smooth as he spoke, and his thumb was on your chin forcing you to part your lips ever so slightly and the softest whine escaped from your lips. โWould you settle for a kiss on the cheek?โ
โEverything is so expensive in this economy these days,โ you muttered and complained, pouting ever so slightly at him to try and gain some affection in your bargaining.
โOh but youโre so cute, how am I supposed to resist?โ Eddie let the question hang in the air for a moment before he kissed you.
like cotton candy but like. sour cotton candy.
