EDDIE MUNSON IMAGINES

FAVORITE PERSON

"if we get enough weapons and preparation, we could go back into the upside down, back to kill him for good," nancy said, turning around from the window she was facing as eddie looked over at you, his eyes heavily drowned with fear and worry as nancy began talking about different possibitlies to kill vecna, the rest of the group joining her conversation.

"eddie," you said, catching his attention as he followed after you into a different room of max's trailer. you put your hand gently on his arm, giving him a weak smile as he shook his head, sighing.

"you're scared too, i can see it in the way you're looking at me right now," eddie muttered. he grabbed your hand, removing it from off of his arm before pulling you closely into his arms. "i can't go back in there, _______. what if something bad happens to you? to me? to dustin the little shrimp?"

you smiled, holding onto him before leaning back to look up at him.

"i want this to be over for you," you said softly, looking up towards his worried brown eyes. "i really do, and if that means going back to the upside down to kill the person who did this to your life, then i'm willing to do whatever it takes."

"i cannot risk losing you, princess, i refuse to let that happen," he responded as you smiled towards him sweetly, pressing a kiss to his cheek before hearing dustin calling for the two of you.

"the little shrimp," you joked, sliding your fingers through his hand to intertwine them before leaving the separate room the two of you were in.
-

"________, can i ask you something?" dustin asked you as you nodded, looking over at him in the rv as eddie laid on the back seat, sleeping as you stopped staring at your boyfriend. "are you worried?"

you furrowed your eyebrows in confusion, thinking of it as a silly question.

"of course i am, dustin. we're going back to-"

"no, ________," he interrupted as you waited for him to finish his explanation. "are you worried for eddie?"

you sighed, looking down towards the tabletop as your eyes briefly met his before shifting back over to eddie sleeping on the bench.

"please don't tell him, dustin," you began. "but i am so worried that something bad is going to happen to him. there's something gnawing at the back of my mind, but i'm trying to be brave for him, even knowing this, but it won't go away."

"he worries about you too, you know," dustin said as you nodded, still staring at eddie. your heart was beating loudly in your chest, your eyes focused on solely him alone.

"it's different because he's been dragged into something i never meant to drag him into, dustin."

he nodded, feeling the van stopping as steve called for everybody to get off. robin, nancy, erica, max, lucas, and dustin all climbed off as steve handed you the keys, studying your eyes as he nodded.

"it'll be okay, ______," he said before climbing out of the van and heading into the war zone. you locked the door to the van, staring at eddie as you admired everything about him, including the way that he tended to sleep. your heart slightly ached with the fear gnawing at your every sweet emotion.

you walked over to where eddie was, gently moving some hair out of his face which caused him to wake up and see you staring back at him.

"am i dead?" he asked, looking up at you. you furrowed your eyebrows in confusion, wondering why he said that.

"what?"

"so, you're not an angel?" he questioned, the joke clicking as you punched his arm. "shit! sorry, princess, i thought you liked the compliments."

"i love you," you told him sweetly, continuing to brush some hair out of his face, twirling some of it around your finger while your eyes stayed focused on his.

"you love me," he repeated the phrasing back to himself. "wow, you love me. you really do, you mean that?"

you nodded, eddie sitting up slightly as he looked at you. your eyes stared back at him.

"do you know how beautiful you are, ______?" he questioned you, the blush in your cheeks rising as he said this.

"you're being such a romantic, that's not like you," you said softly, staring back at him sweetly.

"maybe it's time i start shaping up and telling you exactly what you are," he mumbled, grabbing your hand as he pulled you onto the seat and into his grasp. you laughed slightly as he held you close to him.

"what got into you?" you questioned him, one of your hands finding his as you held onto it tightly. you could feel his head resting against yours as he was starting to fall back asleep. he always slept better whenever he was holding you, and you always seemed to protect him from harm as if you were his lucky charm.

"not sure," he mumbled against your head as you smiled to yourself. "just realized that i love you too, my juliet."

your heart was racing- it was the greatest race between your heart and your words that were losing.

"eddie," you muttered, reshifting yourself against him. he nodded slightly and you could tell he was tired. you didn't want to keep him up, but you could listen to his voice all day.

"yeah?"

"you're the most important person in my life so you better not do something stupid and get yourself killed, okay?" you said, looking up at him as he opened his eyes to look back at you.

"for you, my love," he began as you smiled up at him, feeling him press a kiss against your head. "anything."

you laughed slightly, trying to be serious.

"no, no, i'm not kidding. you cannot do anything to get yourself killed, you hear me, munson?" you asked as he nodded, pressing a few kisses to the side of your head. you smiled to yourself, keeping his hand in yours as he slept while you kept watch.

you weren't lying- he was the only one that could get you weak in the knees and laughing until your stomach hurts.

he was quite literally your favorite person.
