"So what's the matter Y/N? We've been sat here for 5 minutes in silence and you haven't said anything." Eddie says.
We sit on the log, stating out in front of us. But when Eddie turns to look at me, I sigh.
"Eddie... I'm not exactly who you think I am. Did the others tell you about a girl who goes by the name of Eleven?" I ask and he nods.
"Yeah they did. They said she has powers. And I thought they were bullshitting me but then I saw you and... I'm not scared of you Y/N. If that's what you're worried about." Eddie tilts his head slightly.
"Okay... thank god. I honestly don't know what I'd do without you. Which leads me onto what I actually came here to tell you." I awkwardly rub the back of my neck.
I start to worry that he might reject me. This isn't exactly the best time for confessions.
"Okay... take your time Y/N." He looks at me, a slight glint of hope in his eyes.
I take a deep breath and wipe my sweaty palms on my jeans.
"I've never met someone like you Eddie. You're caring, funny... attractive. You're everything anyone could ever wish for." I say.
"What are you saying?" Eddie laughs slightly. He sounds nervous and when I turn to face him, I see a slight blush dusting his cheeks.
Come on! Just spit it out Y/N!
"Eddie... what I'm trying to say is... I like you! I like you okay? These feeling I have for you... I've never experienced something as wonderful as this. You make me feel like myself. You make me feel loved and protected. So yeah... I like you." I confess.
Eddie just stares at me then down at his hands. He plays with the rings on his fingers which makes me nervous.
Shit. I fucked up.
I quickly stand up to walk away but a hand gently grips onto my wrist stopping me.
"Stay... please stay."
Eddie gives me the puppy dog eyes, begging me not to leave.
"How can I stay when I know you don't feel the same Eddie? I fucked up." I sigh, sitting back down.
"Wait a minute, who said I don't? It wasn't me for sure? Because I know exactly how I feel about you Y/N." Eddie starts and I look at him.
He grabs my hand gently, rubbing my palm.
"You are one of the smartest, most gorgeous people I know! Honestly, are we sure you're even real?!" He exclaims, laughing.
I laugh along with him too, a smile and blush making it's way onto my face.
"Oh stop it you."
"No I'm serious! I... I like you Y/N... a lot. And to know that you like me back? That makes me feel like an extremely special guy. I got lucky. Very lucky." He finishes.
For a moment, we wait in the silence, staring into each others eyes and cliche as it sounds. But then Eddie starts to lean in and I do the same.
A few seconds later, our lips meet in a soft kiss. He places his hand on my cheek and I wrap my arms around him.
Fireworks seem as if they spark between us which makes me feel all warm.
When we pull away, he places his forehead against mine as we smile like maniacs.
"Well... that was-"
"Amazing!" Eddie shouts, laughing. He runs around for a while and falls to the ground still laughing.
When he finishes, he sits up and brushes leaves out of his hair.
"So Y/N... what are we now exactly?" He asks and I shrug.
"I'm not sure." I laugh, a little nervous. Eddie rushes back to sit next to me.
"Then I'll ask you this. Y/N... do you want to be my girlfriend/boyfriend/partner?" He asks and my heart almost leaps out of my chest.
"I'd love to Eddie." I smile.
He pulls me into another kiss which I return.
"How about, when this all blows over... I take you out on a date. A proper date. Not all this fighting a weird wizard of death crap." He laughs.
"You're really joking at a time like this? Gosh this is exactly why I like you." I respond.
Soon enough, we both head back towards skull rock where the others are still waiting. When we get there, all eyes are on us and Dustin looks down at our hands.
"Are you guys holding hands?!"
"Yes they're holding hands!"
"Cute!"
"Gross!"
"Guys cut the crap! Eddie and I are a thing now. Okay? Can we please get back to this stupid plan of yours?" I ask, cutting them all off.
They all go silent and we all awkwardly look at each other.
Great... this is gonna be fun to deal with.
But at least I have Eddie.
