Sooo I mentioned working on a Eddie Munson x reader (AU) fanfic with my friend and we finished the first chapter, we've started the third and have some plot for other three.
Summary: Reader meets Eddie at the back of Hawking HS on her first day, conversation flows and ends up buying weed from him and new people and bonds begin to born.
Warnings: Drug mention/use (marihuana), tobacco use.
The day was grey, but she took the opportunity of the sad clouds that stopped sharing tears to go outside, 'the lighter... again'.
"Ammm... sorry" being polite first of all, "do you have a lighter?" she asked to the guy. They were at the back of Hawkins High School in a hidden corner, before she went there she saw the small bubble of smoke as an open invitation to ask if she could lit her own cigarette.
The first thing that caught her attention was the massive curls he had, his style was easy to describe as a 'metalhead' just by his vest and patches, he was certainly... attractive. She kept it relaxed as his brown eyes anxiously looked at her, probably expecting a teacher and a sigh of relief went out of his mouth.
"Uh, yeah, here" while searching on his pocket his eyes went everywhere, everywhere but her, body language was easy for her and understood that he was nervous. What she didn't know; the reason. Suddenly he felt like a fifteen year old who saw the love of his life for the first time, and he was certainly she was, it may be destiny.
He passed the lighter to her, hand to hand, just to have the opportunity to touch her lightly but the way her black lips held the cigarette, couldn't keep him more distracted.
The metal zippo combined with her skeleton rings, just like his. While she lit her ciggie he wondered why was she here, 'where's she from?'.
"I've never seen you around" he said to start conversation, he was trying so hard to sound confident right now.
"Oh, I just moved with my brother a few weeks ago, today's my first day" she popped the smoke resting her back on the bricks wall like him but face to face, separated by two meters. "Lunch, more like nicotine break" he chuckled by how similar the joke felt.
"Yeah... sometimes weed break for me" she didn't hide the surprise expression on her face making him feel like she didn't like that joke intention, but when a slow grin made her way to her lips, a wave of 'thank god I didn't ruin it' hit him.
"Accurate" she added, then she remembered her private task for today, "do you know who sells? when I moved I had a few grams but didn't last much, it's been three weeks" the dramatic tone at the end of her phrase made him laugh, and he really wondered if this was settled up by the universe.
"Funny how our paths crossed, I do" he was feeling more sure of what he was doing, he arched his eyebrow with a silly smile and captured on his mind the relieved face she made.
"You're my hero" he tossed the filter on the ground, losing all the confidence he had just by three words because they came from her, and the circumstances were funny indeed.
"I don't have it here though, it's on my van" it took him a few seconds to remember, "how much you want?" he saved the zippo where it was and tugged his fingers on his vest pockets 'try to look casual'.
"I have... 20 bucks, how much you'll make me?" she started fake searching on her mind, she had those 20 specially for weed since three weeks ago, but like him, she was trying to look casual.
"I can make you 15 grams, and I'll give you the chance to try it before buying so you know it's worth it" he didn't really thought about that last part, it came out of him automatically and he's thankful for that because if she accepts -that there's no need to say she will- he'll have time to know her more and he was really invested to do so.
"Fuck yeah, that'll be great" making sure to sound greatful, he smiled when he heard the informal choose of words. "After school, at the parking lot?" she spilled the plan.
"Sounds like a date" he joked, finally getting his charisma back. He just needed to feel less nervous, and the way the conversation was settled by something they both liked made it easier, so much easier that he started to flirt, as a joke, but if she didn't mind it wouldn't be a joke.
"We'll see about that" tension -a pretty good one- and the bell could be heard from there, she took the last PITADA not as far to burn the filter and stepped on it when it was on the ground, "I should leave, I really need to catch up or I'll fail a third time" she walked out the small hall and turned the corner, he followed her.
"I failed two years too, so I guess you have twenty like me, right?" he opened the door and let her in gaining the sweetest smile he had ever seen.
"Yeah, I am" teens looked at them together and wondered many things. "talking about ages... I haven't introduced myself, I'm _____, it's a pleasure" she said opening her locker to take two books.
"I'm Eddie, nick from Edward, but it doesn't suits me so, yeah, Eddie... my friends call me that" she closed the locker and smiled at him.
"I think both are good, Eddie" again, the tension, so invisible for the people around them.
"Oh, let me... where to?" he took the books from her placing them between his arm and side torso, the action took her by surprise but noticing how gentle he was doing it, it came to her mind; he liked her, and it's been... what? twenty minutes since their first encounter?
Many men try so hard to be a gentleman, but it came naturally from him, that's how she knew. It was so sweet.
"I have math, class B6 I think it said ON my schedule" they started to walk again down the hall to Eddie's locker, he looked surprised.
"Really? With Mr. Schnail? I do too" big smiles became a part of their faces -constantly since they meet- shiny eyes at the weird way things were going. He closed the metal door with a notebook.
"I guess our paths are really crossed after all, maybe we even share more clases and I didn't notice you" she made a hint to the paths comment he made earlier making him laugh.
"No, I would've notice you" when they were in class they seated next to the windows, weird behavior from Eddie not hiding at the back but wanting to sit next to _____.
"Why do you think so?" she tried to seem unaware of why, but she knew why.
"I mean you're..." and the moment they were having got ruined by Mr. Schnail.
