Billy looked up at his father, tears rushing down his face. His mother laid dead on the hospital bed.

His bottom lip trembled as he took in the reality of his mother being gone, forever. "daddy..." he cried, pulling on his fathers shirt; begging for a warm embrace, only to be giving a cold stare.

His father scoffed and pushed him off of him, "what are you? A girl? Boys don't cry!" He yelled.

He showed very little emotion, when he did, it was a constant battle with trying to calm him down. He held so much in, his father injecting him with words and threats growing up, telling him a real man didn't cry.

Your relationship was rocky and rough, but what relationship wasn't like that? You both had your ups and downs, you wanted him to express his feelings more, and he wanted you to leave it alone.

Causing you both to fight often, his words burned through your skin like acid. He didn't mean any of it though, it was his way of defending himself, putting his walls up and shutting down.

Billy shut the door, you could tell something was wrong by the way he threw his keys down on the counter.

You looked up at him from the couch, you paused your show and stood up; walking to him.

"Hey, how was work?" You asked, grabbing a cold bottle of water from the refrigerator and taking a sip. You could see his eyes fill with tears, he took a deep breath and shook his head. "It was fine.." he mumbled.

"You sure?" You asked, trying not to pry.

"Yes, Y/N. I'm fine.." he said, kissing your forehead before climbing the stairs; taking two at a time.

You furrowed your eyebrows and walked back into the living room, continuing your movie as you heard the shower start.

•

"He's gone?" You asked, eyes wide as you watched his face contort into sadness.

"Yeah..." Billy said, his knee began to bounce as he chewed at his finger nails. “He took everything, Max, Susan….He left me.” His bottom lip trembled as he spoke.

You frowned, watching as tears flowers down his cheeks, a rare sight that pained you.

"Billy..don't hold it in..just let it out. it's okay to cry." You said, putting your hand out to pat his back.

He pulled away and stood up, "real men don't cry..he made sure of that." He said, wiping away his tears.

"And his life is going so good, isn’t it?" You shouted, standing up. You were tired of the constant effect his father had on him.

He was never there to begin with, sure he was there physically, but not in the way Billy needed him to be.

"Don't!" Billy yelled, turning back to look at you, pointing at you.

"No! Don't try to push me away when I'm trying to hel-"

"Help me? You're doing such a great job at that, Y/N! Just leave me alone." Billy said, taking a deep breath.

You huffed, "please just, talk to me. I wanna know how you’re feeling." You said, taking a step towards him.

He groaned, pinning you to the wall "I don't want to talk to you! I just want to be alone right now! Is that to hard to ask?" He said, slamming his hands against the wall causing you to jump.

He stormed up the stairs, your bedroom door slammed moments later.

Your bottom lip trembled, tears streamed down your face as you slid down the wall.

•

The next day, you poured your self a cup of coffee taking a quick sip as you watch Billy walk down the stairs.

His hair dripping with water as he grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge. "Morning.." he mumbled, "morning." You sighed, tracing the rim of your cup with your index finger.

"How are you?" You asked, your heart beating out of your chest as you waited for his response.

"Better..I'm sorry about last night.." he said, never looking you in the eyes. "Yeah..thank you." You said, he looked up at you and frowned.

He took a deep breath and opened his mouth to speak, "any time I ever cried or whined..he'd threaten me, say he'd beat my ass if I ever did it again. Though he would regardless...then he’d push me away, leave for a few days, just to repeat the process when he got back." Billy said, staring down at the counter as you listened.

"..I push you away when you're just trying to help. I guess that just one of the things I picked up from him..” he said.

You shook your head and walked to him, wrapping your arms around him.

“You’re nothing like him, Billy.” You said, looking up at him. "I understand...and I won't pry you to tell me your feelings.." you said, giving him a quick peak on the cheek.

He nodded and sent you a small, loving smile.

A sight you could never hate.

CHEATER // EDDIE MUNSON

-> pairing; Eddie Munson + Fem!reader

-> warnings; mentions of cheating, marijuana, alcohol, etc.

-> summary; you and your best friend, Steve are hanging out, when things escalate. What will happen when your boyfriend, Eddie finds out?

**************

You laughed loudly, his lips met with your neck; blowing raspberries against it.

"Eddie! Stop!" You breathed, pushing himself up, his hands resting beside each side of your head. He looked down at you admiringly, almost lovely.

You smiled and pulled him close, your lips crashing together. Eddie pulled away and smiled, looking into your eyes.

You both laid together, talking about whatever crossed your minds in the moment.

Your eyes flickered to the clock on the wall, "shit, I gotta go. Steve and I were supposed to meet up at the mall." You said, jumping out of the bed.

Eddie sat up, watching as you scrambled to find your shoes. "They're at the end of the bed.." he said, you smiled and grabbed them. "Thank you.." you said, hopping around to put them on.

"I'll see you later.." you said, leaning in to kiss him, "see ya.." he said, pressing his lips to yours.

You smiled and quickly ran out of his trailer, driving to the mall.

•

You jumped onto Steve’s back, his hands resting on the back of your thigh as he held you up.

"Where to next, Bug?" He asked, sticking his tongue out as you held out a piece of cotton candy.

"The Wall! Then Gadzooks!" You laughed, he nodded and walked towards the stores, both only a few feet away from each other.

You hopped down and you both searched the shops, buying whatever you found interesting or cool.

"Alright, lets go back to my place and open our stuff!" You said, your arms filled with bags.

"I’ll race you to the car!." Steve said, as you both raced out of the building.

•

As the night progressed, you both had drank two bottles of vodka and smoked three bowls packed with different strains of weed.

You laughed, tilting your head back "remember when Dustin face planted on his bike and fell into that ditch?" You stammered, Steve nodded.

The effect of the alcohol and weed effected you both differently; where it hyped you up, it calmed Steve down and made him more needy.

He pulled you closer to him, he started kissing your neck, biting and nipping at your skin.

"Steve.." you hummed, he kissed you, his lips moving in sync with yours.

you both made your way upstairs and things escalated quickly.

You woke up the next morning, Steve’s arms were wrapped around your body, holding you close as he dreamed.

You looked out the window, catching Eddie’s van pulling into the driveway. You jumped up, jerking Steve up from his sleep, "yeah? What's up?" He asked; His voice raspy and rough.

"Eddie’s here!!" You exclaimed, quickly putting your clothes back on fixing your hair with your fingers.

"Nice.." Steve said, covering his head with the blanket.

"Get up..he can't see your still sleeping.." you said, pulling the blanket from him.

"Come on, buggy..don't make me get up.." Steve whined.

A knock on the door forces him to jump out of the bed and quickly get dressed, You raced to the door, opening it to be greeted with Eddie standing there.

"Hey!" You smiled, "hey.." he said, "why didn't you answer your phone?" He asked.

"Crazy night, me and Steve both got high and drunk..We only just woke up like 15 minutes ago.." you said, watching as he stepped inside.

"That's cool..you ready to go? I'm taking you out for lunch." He said, you nodded.

"Let me just say goodbye to Steve.." you said, you turned and met Steve’s chest.

"We really need to put a bell on you.." you groaned, Steve chuckled. "Hey, Ed!" He shouted, Eddie smiled.

Steve placed an arm around your waist, kissing the top of your head.

Eddie crossed his eyebrows and shifted from one foot to the other, "Steve..don't do that.." he groaned. "Shit..sorry." Steve mumbled, moving away from you.

"I'll see you later, Steve!" You said, Steve nodded "see ya later, bug." He said, hugging you.

"You're squeezing to hard.." you mumbled.

"You weren't complaining last night.." Steve said, your eyes widened.

"What?" Eddie asked with a mouth full of HoneyCombs. "what?" Steve said, "you slept with my girlfriend?" Eddie barked, Steve flinched.

"Eddie..it was an accident..we were both drunk and high as fu-"

"Don't defend yourself! You cheated on me!"Eddie yelled, you heard the pain in his voice, "and with him!" He said, you shook your head.

"Ed.."

"No! If the roles were reversed, you'd be pissed too!" He yelled.

"Don't blame her, it was my fault.." Steve chimed in, Eddie’s face became angry but it dropped quickly.

"Yeah..you two have fun together..I'm done.." he said, walking out of the apartment.

You chased after him, "Eddie! Wait!" You cried. You grabbed his arm and made him look at you, "I'm so sorry! You know I wouldn't do anything to hurt you, it was an accident and it meant nothing." You said, "you're the only one that I love and I wouldn't throw that away. Please forgive me.." by now, your eyes betrayed you as tears were streaming down your face.

Eddie furrowed his brows and frowned, he pulled you closer and hugged you tightly. E

Steve walked out into the yard and crossed his arms, watching carefully.

"I forgive you..but if it happens again..I'll break his nose."

"Hey! Why you punishing me?!" Steve shouted, throwing his arms up.

"You're the one who gets needy!" Eddie shouted back, making you giggle and press a kiss to his cheek.

-> pairing; Eddie Munson + Fem!reader

-> warnings; mentions of blood, and period products if you’re not comfortable with reading please scroll away <3

-> summary; you and Eddie are watching a movie when an unexpected visitor arrives.

a/n; this is my first stranger things fanfic so sorry if it sucks,,,I’m also taking requests <3

**************

"Thanks for inviting me over.." You said, sitting down on the couch as Eddie fumbled through countless VHS tapes. "No problem, its been awhile since you and me just hung out." he said, finally settling on The nightmare on Elm Street, a movie you both loved.

"Johnny Depp is so hot." You said, getting comfortable. “Eh, not really my type.” Eddie replied, opening a can of Pringles as the movie started.

“Yeah, like you have a type.” You said, rolling your eyes playfully.

~

About an hour into the movie, your eyes were glued on the screen as Nancy ran from Freddy. Suddenly, an odd feeling you knew all to well washed over you. "I gotta use the restroom." You said, making Eddie pause the movie.

"Okay, you know where it is.." He said, flashing a small smile at you as you made your way towards the bathroom. You quickly shut the door and unbottoned your pants, sliding them down to your thighs as you sat down.

You groaned as a small area of your underwear were now tainted with blood. "Are you kidding me!?" You whisper yelled, shaking your head. You grabbed your purse from the counter, and began rummaging threw it to find a pad or tampon.

When you found nothing, you mentally cursed yourself for not being more prepared. "Idiot.." You said, quickly making amake shift pad with some toilet paper. You then washed your hands, then exited the bathroom.

Eddie remained in his spot, toying with his rings as he waited. "Hey, uh.. I gotta go." You said, he looked up at you, his eyebrows crossed together. "Oh, why? Everything okay?" He asked, standing up and making his way towards you.

"Yeah, I- uh.." You hesitated, feeling abit awkward about the situation. "Y/N...what's wrong?" He asked, worry filled his eyes as he stared down at you. "I-I..i got my period." You said, lowly; hoping he didn't hear you.

"You got your period?" He asked, making your face heat up with embarrassment. "Y-yeah.." You mumbled, reverting your eyes to the ground. "What do you need? I'll go get it for you." He said, making your head snap up. "You don't have to do that.. It's really-"

"Y/N...just tell me what you need..." He said, giving a sympathetic look, he really just wanted to help. “You’re sure you don’t mind?” You questioned, surprised he wasn’t grossed out.

“Not at all, it’s not like you can control it. It’s natural, Y/N…” he said, grabbing him keys off the table by the door. “Just gimme a list of stuff you need and I’ll go get it for ya.” He said with a soft smile.

You smiled, quickly writing down the things you needed before handing it back to him. He nodded and took the paper, sending you a quick wink before leaving.

It was weird, sending your male best friend to the store to get feminine products. But you were relieved when he offered so easily, like it didn’t bother him.

A few minutes later, Eddie returned; extending two bags full of stuff you needed ( and a few things he just thought you might like ).

“Thank you so much, I really appreciate this.” You smiled, taking the bags. “No problem, I know you’d do the same for me if I ever needed anything like that..” he shrugged.

Opening one of the bags you noticed a few bags of candy and a new VHS, along with some pain killers and a motley crew pin.

You chuckled, “I’m pretty sure I only put two items on the list..” you said, looking at him as he plopped down on the couch. “Yeah, well, I figured you’d want some entertainment while your bleeding profusely.” He said, stretching his arms above his head.

“You’re not entertainment, enough?” You questioned, making him laugh. “Haha! Very funny.” He rolled his eyes.

Once you situated yourself and returned to the couch, you rested your head on Eddie’s shoulder. Thanking whatever it was for putting him in your life.

You couldn’t have asked for a better friend.
