☠. a study in :

☠. eddie munson was an idiot. he had to be , because who the hell else would wait around at skull rock for - what. . . like two hours now? like some lonely, lovesick, pathetic thing? certainly not anyone with a brain. most would have probably taken the hint by now. . . cut their losses & accepted that maybe the summer long fling shared in star court mall's parking lots & backrooms , were just that. moments. . . boredom. . passing time - making the most out of something that wasn't even there to begin with. the metalhead supposed that's what he got for getting his hopes up.

☠. he was fully aware of the eyes that practically burned into the side of his face , grinning & even letting a low chuckle sound aloud once he'd feel pressure settle into his lap. so as he was waiting for his next turn in battle , those deep browns would wander down to find him - leaning down to press a long , tender , & lingering kiss upon his lips. he's been playing this game for far too long now. . . that he surely knows. of course he had intended to be done by the time steve had returned home , but of course - time simply got away from him once again.

☠. oh the wonders of being young & in love. . . not that he had been making fun of her- far from it. even eddie fell victim to it when he was her age , when he was freckle faced & his hair was buzzed , his gangly limbs fitting awkwardly in his clothes ; even had a gap in his front teeth back then. truly it was really a face only a mother could love , as the saying goes. but that hardly stopped him from getting the fattest crushes on just about anyone who looked at him longer than five seconds , or really even have him a moment of their time. sad? childish love usually was.

☠. the story alice in wonderland had been one of eddie's very favorites as a kid , his own copy his mother had gotten him in tatters by now- asking time & time again that they start it over as soon as she'd finish it. elizabeth munson was a mother of many talents. one of them being having a different voice for every character , acting out their movements & facial expressions as if it were their very own drama play in his small little room. he had always wondered what it would be like. . . to lose your step & next thing you know , you're falling down a rabbit hole , in a room that's far too big & you find yourself so small. or how one might become curious about the back of a wardrobe. . . weaving through coat after coat , until you'd find yourself in a quiet snowy forest.

❛ - steve ! ❜ he'd nearly burst through the front door of the family video , shoes squeaking against linoleum & arms waving about like an unbalanced chicken , trying to catch himself on the front desk before he flew over it entirely. his dark brown eyes were wide & wild , his breath heavy- almost wheezing out of his chest from running all this way. all the while his dog aragorn had been hot on his heels & paying no mind to the 'no pets allowed' rule.

the old man's house had to be. . . at least two miles from steve's work. that means instead of just driving his van , the metalhead & his loyal companion really did run all that way just to get here. but if he had seen what they did. . . heard the sounds that they did & had to call 911 like they did. . . well- he might have done the exact same thing. ❛ it's howard , he- n'theres like these. . . there was so much noise & then- ❜
