I have a multi, it's where Grog now lives.

I've also added Eddie Munson from Stranger Things S4.

Bingo.

There it was. A little prickle of jealousy. Eddie had no intention of dating, or even fooling around with, Chrissy’s friends. He was supposed to have flirted with one of them but had no recollection of it at all.

She stumbles and falters through half a dozen unfinished sentences while he kisses down her neck. He presses a finger to her lips, hushing the fumbled explanations because he really didn’t need one. They were just having fun.. it was nothing serious..

Except for the minor issue of a crush being harboured since middle school. No big deal.

“mmhm, that’s exactly how it wor…” Before he could finish she pulled him in for another kiss. Plenty of people have tried to shut Eddie up, but Chrissy’s method was by far his favourite.

“uhh, yeah.. about that.. totally would but they’re kinda occupied with holding me up.” He’s propped up on both forearms, keeping him just within reach of Chrissy, so she could do whatever was on her mind. Which right now was kissing and marking his neck in a different place.

“If I didn’t.. know better, I.. would think you’re.. marking your.. territory..” he hums, a smirk on his face. maybe the smirk was because he’s really into what she’s doing, (spoiler alert, he was). Or maybe it’s because she’s more territorial than she would admit.

              A finger pressed against her lips and Chrissy stops abruptly in her tracks, spilled apologies coming to a stop though her face remains warm, so much so that it reaches her ears. Her eyes close, allowing herself to feel the way his lips press against her skin, the way goosebumps run down her spine. Okay, so he doesn’t care that she’d been ogling him.

Good, because she intends to do it all over again. Not only today but also every other time she comes to see him. “Huh? Wh– oh,” she pauses, so lost in the thrill of the moment that she didn’t even think about how he was positioned, “right, let me just… lie back.”

She’s done this enough times. With Jason, yes, but also a couple of other boys before him. It was far more innocent, back then, but boys brains were all the same. She waits until he lies back, giggling at the awkward movements between the two of them and straddling his lap, knees digging into the faded out colored fabric of the couch.

Instinctively his arms curl around her back as they kiss, he wasn't to keep her there for as long as possible despite their time rapidly running out. Then his hand is under her shirt, his fingers pressed into her back, the other travels to her thigh, giving her ass a playful squeeze on the way down. There are so many places he wants to touch and explore, it's almost overwhelming.

"don't remember saying.. anything about.. stopping.."

Nor does she deny that was marking her territory. He was joking when he said it, but there was no denial, she only asked him if he wanted her to stop. To which the answer was always going to be no. Never, ever stop.

"Hey Eddie! Are you gonna help us load up or what?" Footsteps and a voice approach from the other side of the flimsy door.

"Naked! Very naked! Do not come in here!" He yells the first thing which came into his head which would stop anyone opening the door. And for a second he swore his heart stopped beating out of pure panic.

"shit.. shit!" He whispers, still panicking and trying to figure out what to do. "if you open that door I'll have to kill you!"

"dude, if I open this door I'll want to kill myself."

He scrambles to get from under Chrissy, grabbing her hand and tugging her towards the door with him, moving her to the opposite side to where it slid open.

"I'm gonna need a minute.." he cracks open the door wide enough to poke his head through and hand over the keys which had been in his pocket.

"you're disgusting"

"I'm your hero."

He would like that, Chrissy becoming a regular feature of Tuesday nights at the Hideout. “You could bring along the rest of my fanclub.” Eddie grins and laughs, but also braces for some kind of reaction, maybe another shoulder slap like before. He kissed her as a sort of apology for the teasing, that was perhaps a little mean, even if she said she didn’t mind. Was it wrong of him to be curious if she would get even a little jealous?

Eddie had lost all track of the amount of time which had passed while it had been just the two of them. Time did weird things when he was with Chrissy, it seemed to last forever and also be over far too quickly simultaneously.

“so this is what it feels like to be objectified? Huh..” Eddie moves onto his side to get more comfortable, or as comfortable as he could possibly be whilst sharing a lumpy old couch with Chrissy. But from this new position it was much easier to reach her jaw, her neck, and some of her shoulder, which all now enjoyed an equal share of his attention.

“they don’t.. they don’t mean anything.” Another laugh and a shrug of his shoulders. He didn’t subscribe to the thought that tattoos had to be meaningful. “Obviously they mean I’m an awesome badass, that’s pretty damn obvious. But I’m not into the whole deep and meaningful shit.”

                   Without thinking, she scoffs, her eyes rolling. “I guess I could,” she says, however, and in her mind punishes herself in both embarrassment and frustration that she’d let the mask fall like that in front of him. Because, really, what is she doing? She has a boyfriend, he’s a single, attractive, talented boy. She can’t hold him back just because she likes the way his lips taste in hers.

“Sorry! I didn’t mean to– I mean, it’s just– you were there and…” Chrissy blushes furiously, taking a deep breath and closing her eyes to focus in the way he kisses her jaw instead, down her neck and past the bright pink lapels of her blazer.

Happily humming, she opens her eyes halfway only to see him laughing. They don’t mean anything? Wasn’t that the whole point of tattoos? “Oh okay,” she frowns, tilting her head to look at them, fingers brushing over them, “so you just… picked whatever looked nice?” That sounds so simple, so easy. She could never do that. Shaking her head, she pulls him back down on top of her to kiss him again, one eye closed while the other one scans the room for a clock. Ten minutes.

There it was. A little prickle of jealousy. Eddie had no intention of dating, or even fooling around with, Chrissy's friends. He was supposed to have flirted with one of them but had no recollection of it at all.

She stumbles and falters through half a dozen unfinished sentences while he kisses down her neck. He presses a finger to her lips, hushing the fumbled explanations because he really didn't need one. They were just having fun.. it was nothing serious..

That figures, Jason treating her like an object rather than a person. A trophy or a status symbol, or worse, a possession. Property of Jason Carver.

A douche bag disguised as the perfect all American boy. What the hell did she see in him, besides the looks, popularity, charisma, and money? And where the hell does that tan come from? This is Hawkins not LA.

But Jason wasn’t here, and Eddie was. She was the one he was sneaking around to be with. He was the one whose neck was burning from the fresh hickey she had just given him. Whose shirt she was tugging at.

“Way better than the usual Tuesday night here” her mutters between hungry kisses. Whatever was happening here couldn’t go much further, not in a dank back room of an equally dank club. But she was being quite insistent that his shirt needed to go, tugging both the shirt and t-shirt over his head, messing his already messy hair further.

Eddie wasn’t built like Jason, he was tall and skinny, he’d never seen the inside of a gym outside enforced classes at school, and his skin tone seemed to repel sunlight. He was also sporadically tattooed, arms, back, chest and shoulders all having received some kind of work. The fake ID apparently worth its weight in gold to Eddie as it meant he got his first tattoo long before it was legal.

“it’s the sick tatts, right?” He teases, kissing her again the moment she’d tugged his shirt over his head. “you wanted to know how many more I had.”

                   Her whole life, Chrissy Cunningham has been conditioned to being seen and not heard, to being prefect in every possible way and impossible ones too. She’d learned to take criticisms and judgment as a norm, to being asked to follow rules and do as she’s told instead of fighting back.

When Jason asked her out for the first time, two years ago, showed up at her locker with a big bouquet of red roses and two tickets for a movie, she was thrilled. When he invited her over for dinner to meet his parents months later, she fought the urge to play with her food instead of eating it and waited politely until she was home to get rid of it. And when he started bossing her around, stopped listening to her stories, laughing at her jokes, when he rolled his eyes at her dreams, she accepted it. She can work with that.

“Maybe I’ll make it a habit,” she jokes, biting at his bottom lip and gasping when he pulls away to comply to her wishes that she hadn’t even voiced. Jason would’ve never done that, Chrissy thinks as she props her weight on her elbows, lips parted trying to get air back.

Eddie had lost all track of the amount of time which had passed while it had been just the two of them. Time did weird things when he was with Chrissy, it seemed to last forever and also be over far too quickly simultaneously.

"so this is what it feels like to be objectified? Huh.." Eddie moves onto his side to get more comfortable, or as comfortable as he could possibly be whilst sharing a lumpy old couch with Chrissy.

Ohhh, so she was serious about him asking before picking her up. She wasn’t mad with him for doing it, but there was something about her insistence which said to him that she probably didn’t like it. “Okay,” he nods, kissing her forehead, her nose, then her lips. “I promise I’ll ask if I do that again. But I’m guessing it would be better if I didn’t do it at all.”

He’s still trying to remember this supposed moment of flirting with her friend. He wasn’t in the habit of flirting with the upper echelons of Hawkins High student society. But then he also wasn’t in the habit of helping girls cheat on their boyfriends.

“hmmm.. I think I should stick to dating outside of your social circle. There’s less potential for.. complications.” But she was right, she couldn’t get mad if he did. He was her side guy. He could do what he wanted.

Couch, ten minutes.. if this was all they had then they should make the most of it. Though her words took a moment to register, she was focusing on his neck and giving him a hickey, and now Eddie found it near impossible to think.

Eventually he moves, if a little unsteadily, over to the couch. Awkwardly, and without letting go of Chrissy, they both make it down to the couch, even more awkwardly setting her down under him.

                  All huffing and puffing and strong emotions, whether positive or negative, dissipate away the moment he draws a trail of kisses down her face, whispers and pouts turning into a smile. “You… you can do it, it’s just–” Chrissy sighs, looking down slightly embarrassed for a moment, “Jason does it all the time, and he never asks, he just moves me around like a potato sack, and the jocks do it sometimes too, I don’t– I don’t know, it makes me feel like I’m not a person. Like I’m a doll or something.” How silly. Looking back up, she presses a quick kiss to his lips and smiles. Eddie isn’t like that, though, all he wanted was probably to prevent the inevitable neck pain from having to hunch down for her.

“Okay,” she chuckles, the word complications feeling so funny on his mouth. There’s already enough complications, and she’s caused pretty much all of them, but could anyone blame her?

Yeah, alright, Chrissy knew the pseudo-feud between Jason and Eddie ran back to the beginning of high school, maybe even further, and she wasn’t really sure why they hated each other so much, really. So, sure, maybe asking drugs from him was her first bad idea. Joining Hellfire Club was the second.

A douche bag disguised as the perfect all American boy. What the hell did she see in him, besides the looks, popularity, charisma, and money? And where the hell does that tan come from? This is Hawkins not LA.

But Jason wasn't here, and Eddie was. She was the one he was sneaking around to be with. He was the one whose neck was burning from the fresh hickey she had just given him. Whose shirt she was tugging at.

“Is that my shirt?”

“Keep it. It looks good on you.”

“Sorry, I accidentally spilled coffee on your tee.”

“Here, you can borrow my sweatshirt.”

“Do you want to look through my closet to find something you can wear?”

“It’s a bit large, but it’s very comfortable.”

“Your shampoo smells nice.”

“You broke my hairbrush!”

“I’ll get you a towel.”

“That’s my favorite mug, but you can use it if you want.”

“Can I use some of your makeup?”

“How do you turn on your shower? It’s impossible to use!”

“You can use my bed, I’ll sleep on the couch.”

“I couldn’t impose on you!”

“It’s not imposing at all!”

“So I used your toaster…”

“I accidentally clogged your toilet. Sorry.”

“Where did this hole in my sweater come from?”

“Could you possibly clean up your hair from the drain after you use the shower?”

“It’s not my fault I shed!”

“Here, let me help you find something to wear.”

“Stay on your side of the bed.”

“Thanks for letting me use your pool.”

“You’ve got an interesting sense of fashion.”

-feel free to adjust to better fit your muse’s speech!

“Yeah, about that…”

“I, um… might have… had something to, uh… do with that…”

“Don’t you dare.”

“Oh, no. I know that look. I know what that look means. Absolutely not.”

“Can you stop being weird about it for five seconds?”

“Why is the plural of moose still moose? Why not meese?”

“I almost caught myself on fire…”

“Bite me.”

“Hey! Guess what!”

“There’s nothing to worry about, but I’d stay out of the kitchen for a while.”

“Big deal - I bet I could do that with [my hands/one hand tied behind my back/blindfolded/in x amount of time/backwards].”

“I might’ve befriended a mafia boss…”

“You know what I want right now? [Sender’s favorite food].”

“Touch that and I will hit you with a spoon.”

“Do I actually want to know or will I be better off not knowing? Because I feel like I’ll be better off not knowing.”

“Do you think snails have feelings?”

“Why is Christmas such a big deal? Is it because of capitalism?”

“Have you ever had a wish come true by throwing a coin into a fountain?”

“Can I kiss you?”

“Check please!”

“Hey. What’s going on with you and [name]?”

“You know… I think I should… go.”

“Nope, sorry, you’re not getting rid of me that easily.”

“Wait. Did I say left? Heh, I meant to say right.”

“Yeah, of course I speak another language! …It just might not come in handy unless we go to a Star Trek convention…”

“Look, I know I said I could handle a lot of things, but that is not one of them.”

“Well, we have six minutes until we need to leave! …Never mind, make that four minutes. Actually, we should just leave now.”

“…Want some smoothie?”

“I’ve never felt this way before…”

“I bet I could fight a swarm of bees.”

“Have you ever gotten a stuffed animal from a claw machine?”

“Uh… surprise?”

“Sure, I can do a magic trick. I’ll make that whole tub of ice-cream disappear in ten minutes.”

“Why is it the cake that’s a lie? Why isn’t it the pie?”

“What would you do if you had a million dollars right now?”

“No, no. When I said kids, I meant kids as in goat babies. Not human babies.”

“The only thing straight about me are my grades from [middle school].”

“Yeah, I’ve been to [place]. Once. It was… the worst.”

“Don’t be ridiculous - of course you need me. Who else is going to annoy you?”

“I miss you.”

“Look, I know you probably don’t want to see me right now, but… I had nowhere else to go.”

“What are you going off about?”

“Of course you’re my hero! How could you not be?”

“Would you rather have a pet shark or a pet whale?”

“Oh, yeah? Try me.”

“Oh, wow… You… you look absolutely stunning…”

“Hypothetically speaking… what if I got a [puppy/kitten]?”

“Come on, talk to me. What’s going on? Was it something I did?”

“I’ll pay you ten bucks to fight me.”
