Bakugou x roomate!reader
Summary: you've gotten yourself into a quirk accident & were now..?? a cat??
A/n: if there's one thing i like about the mha universe is that the existence of quirks make up so many plot possibilities to play with. i had a lot of fun writing this & i hope you enjoy reading too!
đ
You were a cat.
Your day most certainly could not get any weirder than this.
You were chasing after a petty thief down the alleyway when it happened. You almost felt bad for going after what could be the most skittish crime offender you've ever encountered.
Then she struck you with her quirk.
The force of it knocked you to the ground & your sight went blurry. You vaguely heard her apologized profusely, swearing it was an accident & stammering that you'll be able to figure out how to undo it on your own, leaving you to slowly black out.
When you came to, you found yourself absolutely drowning in a mass of clothes that you soon realized was your hero outfit. Horrified at the discovery, you looked down at your naked body only to find out you weren't exactly naked.
You were covered in fur.
Cursing out in confusion, you heard your own voice rang through the alleyway. But it didn't sound like your voice & what came out was most definitely not coherent words.
Panicked you scrambled to get out of the alley, almost plopping face first into what seemed to be a ridiculously huge puddle, barely catching yourself as you fell on your furry butt. Peering into the muddy water, you felt your heart sank at the sight of your own reflection.
You were a cat.
đ
You've sat at your front door for approximately 15 minutes, glaring at the wood, willing it open with your mind.
You decided quickly that heading to your agency will do you no good, already concluding you aren't getting a productive two-way conversation with anyone while you were in this form. Trying to alert other pro heroes on your way did not work out, unless them cooing & making baby voices at you counted.
The familiar sound of heavy boots approaching your door made you perk up. Your roomate was home.
You padded aside to make way for your roomate to open the door, you little body slumping in relief. You didn't notice Bakugou skeptically raising an eyebrow at your presence but saying nothing otherwise.
The click of the door unlocking had you sighing inwardly. Ugh. Thank fuck. You thought as you padded in tiredly. Curling up in bed after the day you had the only thing on your mind.
You barely made it two steps in before your feet were no longer on the ground, making you squeal in surprise.
"Oi."
You heard your own angry mewls as Bakugou grabbed you by the scruff, holding you up to his face.
"Who the fuck do you think you are waltzing in like you own this place?"
You wanted to scream. You were too tired for this shit right now.
Oh my god. Bakugou! I do own this place. Its me! Y/n!
You tried explaining to no avail as you thrashed in his hold. Bakugou muttered something about you being 'a loud little fuck too' & started heading for the front door.
This made you bristle in irritation even more.
There was absolutely no way you were turned into a cat & getting kicked out of your own apartment on the same day. Not fucking happening.
The moment Bakugou dropped you off out the front door, you launched yourself onto his pant leg before he could close the door in your face, clinging on to dear life as the blonde yelped in surprise at feeling your little claws dig into the fabric of his sweatpants.
"Are you fucking kidding me??" He yelled, swinging he's leg around, jostling you with the movement, trying to get you off of him.
No! Thats my line, you bastard! Don't fucking kid with me!
You yelled profanities at him. All of which, to your dismay, came out as high pitched wails while Bakugou stumbled around as he tried to pry you off his leg while you held on with all your might. In his struggle, he bumped into the front door, cracking it open just a smidge. Seeing this opening you leaped off of him & made a mad dash inside, hearing your angry roomate shout after you. You dove for the living room sofa, barely wiggling your way through the narrow space underneath, only just escaping the angry blonde's grasp.
You heard Bakugou yelling at you to get out, to which you yelled right back at him- non-threatening little mewls be damned. You weren't standing for this bullshit.
Fuck.
There was no way of communicating with him like this. Where the fuck was a convinient scrabble board game when you needed one.
đ
"Oi. Come out. You must be hungry. I got you food."
No! You'll try to throw me out again! Out of my own home may I add!
You heard Bakugou snicker at your yowls from under the sofa, making your tail puff up in annoyance.
"Calm down, brat. I won't throw you out. Promise. Just food."
You contemplated your options for a moment before relenting to his offer. Bakugou chuckled at the sight of you poking your head out of your hiding place, looking up at him with doubts written all over your furry face.
You watched him place two saucers by the table, one of steamed fish, the other filled with clean water before moving on to set his own meal & take a seat at the table. Trotting over nervously, you looked up at him one last time, just in case he was bluffing, only to have him roll his eyes at you. "Hurry up. My foods getting cold."
You tilt your head at that.
His food? Was he waiting for you to eat together?
You wanted to ask but your tummy growling & confirmation that you could hold Bakugou to his word had you making your way to your dishes. Plus your questions would only come out as mewls & squeals anyway so.
Sitting on your haunches you meowed out a 'thanks for the food' before digging in, making the blonde laugh.
"At least you have some manners for a feral little thing."
đ
You didn't have time to worry about getting kicked out after dinner, having seemingly become the least of Bakugou's problems after a phonecall left him agitated & fidgety.
You watched Bakugou pace the living room back & forth, whilst holding his phone up to his ear, seemingly getting more & more frustrated by the minute as he grumbled under his breath ever time the call went to voicemail.
"Mrow?"
Bakugou barely acknowledged your presence with a glance before he's dialing the number again.
"She's not fucking answering."
Who?
"The other dumbass that lives here. She should've been home ages ago. Its getting dark."
Oh. Oh, he's worried about you.
Cursing under his breath at another voicemail, Bakugou muttered something about calling your agency again while you watched him barely contain his distress as he learns no one has seen you since your patrol.
"This fucking dumbass. Where the hell are you??" Bakugou growled while tugging on the boots of his hero outfit, the worry underlying his voice made your gut churn with guilt.
You scurried over to where he sat at the door, swiftly lacing up his boots. He paused when you meowed, peaking around his side.
Keeping your eyes on his, you tested the waters by perching up on his thigh, front paws on his tummy with those red eyes watching your every move. When Bakugou didn't push you off, you continued wiggling your way up his chest, his hand instinctively coming under your legs to support you.
Face to face with him, you see the distress on his face, the expression making your heart heavy. Pushing your little body on your hind legs, you bring a paw up to the wrinkles between his brows.
I'm right here, Bakugou. You mewled quietly.
The blonde huffed out a quiet laugh at that. "Whats with you? You're way too perceptive for a regular fluffball." You perk up at his words. Maybe he'd finally notice!
Thats 'cause I'm not a cat! Its me! Y/n!
To your dismay, he only chuckled at your frantic meows. "Alright, alright. I have to go now," he rumbled out with an amused grin overlaying his worry. He stood up slowly, picking you up in his large hands to set you on the ground. "M'bringing that idiot home so I can introduce ya. I'd bet she's gonna love ya."
You could only watch as Bakugou stepped out into the night to search for you, knowing he wouldn't find you out there tonight.
Yeeees, amaziiiing đđđ
in which you really need coffee and eddie just happens to be in your way
eddie x fem!reader weâve all heard of luna lovegood readers, now I give you lorelai gilmore readers (aka caffeine-fueled slightly chaotic individuals).Â
content: meet-cute, a lilâ bit of flirting, a lilâ bit of caffeine dependency, 100% inspired by my favourite story in gilmore girls, badly proofread because itâs 2:30am
word count: 2.9k
The diner is unsurprisingly busy, like every Friday night, when the Hellfire Club walks in. Small but cozy, itâs located on the very edge of town. The checkered floor is sticky and the smell of oil mixed with cinnamon clings to the light blue walls and the fake leather seats like bad perfume, but they always have rock music playing softly in the background and, better yet, they make the best burger and fries in town since Bennyâs closed down -greasy, tasty and cheap. Perfect for a bunch of hungry boys with limited budgets.
Grabbing a bite after their weekly meetings has become new a tradition now that Eddie and Jeff have graduated, both boys part of Hellfire still, their friendship and bonds over shared interests transcending the halls of Hawkins High. Theyâre a rowdy group, rambunctious and loud, and they donât have the best reputation in town, but the owner knows them and always welcomes them in without qualms, just a plea to keep the noise to a minimum. They try their best to behave and fail half the time.
Tonight, the Club is particularly animated. They started a new campaign earlier today and Eddieâs gone all out. With an intricately designed storyline, extra minor quests, tricky villains and a surprise plot twist at the end that no oneâs expecting, this is his best work yet, if he says so himself. Satisfied with the feedback heâs received so far, Eddie is in a very good mood as they sit around their usual booth, one to the right thatâs big enough for all seven of them, so much so that he volunteers to order for the group.
As it often happens when they get together, chaos ensues, each boy outscreaming the others trying to get their leaderâs attention, words mixing in that cacophony of incoherent noise that seems to follow them everywhere. But if the partyâs loud, Eddie Munson is louder, and he commands attention with ease. Slamming is ringed hand on the wooden table, he makes himself heard. âShut up!âÂ
Six pairs of eyes focus on him, knowing better than to try and argue with the boy -heâs nothing if not stubborn, and although kind and generous, Eddie hates to be contradicted or ignored. So they look in silence, expectantly, as they do when theyâre in the middle of a campaign and heâs weaving stories in a low voice.

It was yet another sleepless night. Your brain too wrapped up in anxious thoughts to even let you think about closing your eyes for more than a few seconds. So you listen to the rain hitting your window and let the thoughts take over, deciding you needed to stop pushing them away. You werenât sure how long youâd been staring at your ceiling for, but you were shaken out of your thoughts by the phone ringing. Itâs one in the morning who the hell is calling? You thought as you went to answer the loud device.
âHello?â You sounded drained.
âCouldnât sleep either huh?â Steve sounded almost as drained.
âNope. Whyâd you call?â You hadnât meant to sound so short but youâve had quite a rough day at work and didnât feel like talking. Usually Steve would make you feel better immediately but lately being around him, even hearing his voice, has just made your heart hurt.
âFigured if I was awake you probably would be too.â
âOkay⊠So why call? Just to test your theory?â You joked but there was hardly a joking tone present.
âI guess I just wanted to hear your voice. Helps me clear my thoughts sometimes,â he ignored your joke, âare you alright?â
âYeah Steve. Just peachy.â
God why am i being so rude to him? He didnât do anything?
âWas work bad today?â He knew better than to take your tone personally.
âYeah. Nothing new though. Just being being assholes.â You didnât feel like talking about how your day at the video store went. Youâre pretty sure you even scared Robin with how irritated you were getting, considering Robin was silent half the shift and she always has something to say.
âIâm sorry princess. Anything specific-â
Princess⊠A name he initiallyïżŒ used a joke, to call you dramatic or pretend like you were asking for so much as if you believed you were royalty, that heâs been using on a more regular basis lately. God you hate that name.
âSteve Iâm really tired. I gotta go.â You felt bad for cutting him off but you couldnât pretend to give a shit about work right now. Not when you knew thatâs not what was really bothering you.
There was a beat of silence, Steve being surprised at you cutting him off and the tone you had, âokay. I hope you sleep well. Iâm here if you need me.â He knew you werenât sleeping soon.
âYeah you too. Goodnight.â
When Steve hung up he couldnât shake the awful feeling he had that he had done something wrong. Usually he doesnât worry about that with you. Youâre always so kind to him and reassuring, knowing he blames himself easily for really anything he can. But tonight just now, that was new. He hated it. He hated not being able to make you feel better.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After falling asleep sometime around four in the morning, your alarm went off at six thirty for work. Needless to say you ended up flipping off your alarm clock and going back to bed. You woke up again to the phone ringing, but you decided to ignore it, completely forgetting why your alarm went off. About your shift at Family Video.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To say Steve was anxious when he arrived at work to see Keith instead of you, was a huge understatement. Not even because he hated working with him, but because you were weird last night and now you didnât show up to work. You havenât missed a day since you started there.
âHey Keith. Whereâs y/n?â
âThought you would know Harrington. She decided not to show up today.â
âShe didnât say why?â
Keith laughed, âshe didnât even call.â
Steveâs anxiety only grew. He immediately went to the phone in the back, calling you. If rang for what felt like an eternity. No answer. He called again. Okay, he called a few more times.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your phone wouldnât stop ringing. You looked to your clock, it was twelve pm. You reluctantly got up to answer.
âWhat?â You already knew it was Steve. He was the only one who would call that many times in a row.
âY/n what the hell?â You could hear the panic and slight relief mixed with a hint of anger.
âMind telling me what iâm being yelled at for?â
âYelled at? Iâm not-â you heard him inhale, you knew he was pinching the bridge of his nose, âdoes your shift at work today ring a bell?â You couldnât even tell which tone he had that time.
âShit. Sorry. Slept in.â
ââŠThatâs it? Thatâs all you got?â
âJesus Steve Iâm so sorry you had to work with Keith. Iâll get ready and head over there, calm do-â
âI donât give a shit that I had to work with Keith, y/n. I thought- I was worried something happened.â
Shit. Now you were really being an asshole. You know how anxious he gets when someone isnât where theyâre supposed to be and donât give a reason. Not after all the scary shit youâve been through. He immediately assumes the worst. Even if it does seem slightly irrational, neither of you are sure what exactly is rational anymore.
âIâm sorry. Seriously I just went to bed so late and i stopped my alarm without thinking. Iâll be there as soon as I can. Iâm really sorry.â You felt like crying. You know the panic he was feeling when he didnât see you and when it took ten calls for you to answer. Steve could hear that through the phone.
âItâs okay. Sorry I got a bit too anxious over nothing. Take your time, yeah? Iâll be alright with Keith for a little longer.â His voice was much softer again.
âI get it Steve. Please donât apologize, I think youâre allowed to feel that way after everything youâve been through.â Steve felt himself relax a bit, your reassurance made him feel better after worrying all night about doing something that had pissed you off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You arrived at work thirty minutes later somehow. Steve smiled when he saw you and you tried to smile back but you knew it wasnât very convincing.
âYouâre lucky youâre good at knowing what movies customers would like. Otherwise youâd be kicked to the curb y/l/n.â Keith pointed at you, sounding surprisingly less angry than youâd expected.
âSorry Keith. Wonât happen again I swear.â
âBetter not.â He mumbled and walked through the back door to his car.
âHey. Would you rather sort and restock or check out customers and rewind these?â Steve held up a handful of tapes.
âDoesnât matter to me.â You shrugged. Steve knew you preferred to sit and rewind the tapes when you were tired and / or anxious. So he stood up and gestures towards the chair he was previously on.
âthe rewinding is all your princess.â He did a funny bow and attempted to sound british. Though it was definitely Australian. It actually wouldâve been really impressive if Australian is what he was going for.
âDo I get a koala too?â You smirked and it took Steve a second to realize the jab at his accent.
âWow ok I see how it is I do something kind and you repay me with a snarky comment.â He put his hand over his heart and pretended to be offended. But his grin gave him away.
âOh Iâm sorry. Thank you Steve Harrington! My savior!â You put your hands together and pretended to fawn over him, laughing.
God Steve loved your smile and your laugh. Heâd sell a kidney to see it 24/7.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Steve was away stocking the romance section, your thoughts came back. Your depressing mood resurfacing. You were trying to keep your distance a bit, but he kept pulling you back in with his warm smile and his stupid Harrington charm.
You joked every now and then for the rest of your shift, but Steve could tell your mood had changed again. You knew he knew by the look on his face. A weak smile that you knew was the same you were giving him.
âTry to get some better rest tonight. Iâll see you tomorrow?â
âNo promises. And yeah.â You lied. You had already decided halfway through your shift that you wouldnât come in to see him on your next days off, including tomorrow, like you usually did. You were going to make it four days without seeing him. You were going to try not to call him too, but you knew better than that. You knew heâd end up calling you. If not to talk then to check youâre alive.
You waved goodbye and drove home. Deciding to watch a comfort movie before falling asleep earlier than you thought you would. Probably from the lack of sleep from the previous night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Steve looked up every time the bell on the door rang, waiting to see you. The highlight of his day. Except every time he looked, it was never you. Robin noticed of course.
âAlright Steve. This is getting a little pathetic. Even for you.â
He gave her a confused look.
âI know youâre waiting for y/n to walk through the door. We have fifteen minutes till weâre closed. I donât think sheâs coming in today dingus.â
âShe just- She usually comes in.â
âSteve you saw her yesterday. Sheâs probably busy. Maybe Eleven is making her build a fort with her again.â
Steve just shrugged and worked on rewinding the last few tapes. It was oddly a comforting thing for him to do when you werenât there. It reminded him of you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Steve got home he called you just like you thought he would.
âHey Steve. Sorry I didnât stop in today. I am alive and Iâm fine. Just had a lot of shopping to do.â
âNo itâs okay. You have a life outside of that store.â
It was silent. Neither of you having much to say. Then you spoke up, âYou okay?â You could hear something off with Steve.
âYeah. I just hope youâre okay. You know you can tell me anything.â
âI know Steve. Iâm okay. Just in a bit of a rut I guess.â
âIf you need anything just call. Please.â
You swear your heart cracked at the way his voice sounded. You know he hates not being able to help, âI will. Promise.â
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The third day you didnât show up to say hi to Steve and Robin, Steve decided to not call. He decided to leave you alone, assuming you needed distance or something. Even Robin was confused and a bit worried. Mostly worried for Steve.
âSteve?â He jumped a little when Robin put her hand on his shoulder, jolting him out of his thoughts.
âYeah? Sorry, was thinking.â
âI can see that. Whatâs going on?â
âY/nâs been⊠weird. Sheâs been quiet. Which is normal for other people who are around her, but not for me. Sheâs always making so many jokes when we work together and she always comes in on her days off just to mess with me and pick a new movie to watch. She always calls too. To tell me about whatever movie she watched. But sheâs basically been ignoring me. Did I do something? Please tell me if I did something stupid Rob.â
Robin felt her heart sink when he looked up at her searching for answers. He looked like a kicked puppy. She couldnât find it in herself to tease him.
âShe hasnât said anything to me bud. Iâm sorry. I can talk to her though if you-â
âNo!â He cleared his throat, âno, itâs okay. I donât want her to think weâre talking about her when sheâs not here.â
âBut we are-â
âYou know what I mean. Just⊠Maybe see if sheâs okay. But donât bring me up.â
âIâll drop by her place tonight then Iâll call you. Iâm sure sheâs just stressed or something.â She gave him a reassuring smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You were surprised to hear a knock on your door at ten that night.
You opened the door to see Robin.
âRobin? What are you-â
She barged in.
âOkay just come on in thenâŠâ You mumbled confused.
âWhatâs wrong with you?â She didnât sound angry, but she didnât sound happy.
âWhat are you talking about?â
âOh come on. That shit doesnât work on me. You know what I mean. Why are you avoiding Steve?â
âAvoiding Steve? Iâm not-â
âAlmost not showing up to work when you worked with him, making your phone conversations hours shorter than usual, not coming in to say hi,â she was listing evidence on her fingers.
âOkay, okay I get it.â You threw your hands up in surrender.
Robin raised an eyebrow waiting for your explanation.
âLook, you know I have feelings for him. Iâve just been⊠Thinking about it lately and how I need to move on.â
âMove on? Why?â
âHe obviously doesnât feel the same wa-â
You were cut off by Robinâs laughter.
âWhat is so funny to you?â
âYou really think that dingus isnât head over heels in love with you too?â
âWoah woah woah first off I never said I was-â
âOh you donât have to.â
âCan you please stop cutting me off?â
âCan you please stop being so oblivious? Steve has been sitting there for the past three days sitting there rewinding tapes and watching that front door line a goddamn hawk. He misses you y/n.â This was probably the softest youâve ever heard Robin talk.
âI know he cares about me. I know weâre close. And I donât wanna lose him. But Iâm tired Robin. Iâm tired of reading into every little thing he does and trying to make my feelings obvious to him when I know he doesnât feel the same way!â You spoke softly at first, but then your voice betrayed you. Cracking at the end as you raised your voice unintentionally.
âI think you need to talk to him. Seriously.â Robin was still speaking softly but she was more stern this time.
âFat chance.â You mumbled.
âY/n, I love you, but if you hurt Steve I swear to god⊠Heâs been through enough as it is and you of all people know that. Too many people have left him. I genuinely donât know what would happen to him if you left him too. He trusts you more than anyone. More than me. More than any of the kids, even Dustin. Donât fuck this up. Donât fuck him up.â
And with that, she left. Left your house and left you to think.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On your fourth and final day off you were planning on how to talk to Steve when you worked with him tomorrow. Unfortunately you didnât get too far when you heard an aggressive knock on your door. You opened it expecting to see Robin.
âRobin I get it Iâm going to-â You stopped as soon as you saw Steve. A very upset looking Steve.
âY/n I didnât wanna bother you but this is killing me. I canât stand not being able to call you and rant about whatever Dustin or Robin did to piss me off that day. I canât stand not listening to you rant about whatever movie you just watched. I canât stand not being around you everyday. I donât even know what I did and Iâve been trying so hard to figure it out but I canât. Iâm sure I did something really fucking stupid per usual, but please tell me what it was so I can fix it.â
âStevie you didnât do anything wrong.â
He looked so lost and confused. You gestures for him to come inside. Your parents werenât home yet.
âThen what- What happened?â
âFuck.â You muttered and Steve looked so anxious you just wanted to hug him and tell him everything is fine.
âWould you just trust me if I said itâs me and my brain and has nothing to do with anything you did?â
âY/n thatâs not a good enough reason and you know it. Why canât you just talk to me-â
âI couldnât stand being so close to you all the time knowing how strongly Iâm in love with you okay! And knowing you donât feel the same.â You didnât mean to blurt it out like that. But there it was. And you couldnât take it back.
âHow would you know that i donât feel the same?â
âBecause why would you?â You laughed like he just offended you, âyou could have any girl you want. Why on earth would you choose me?â
âBecause you actually give a shit about me. Youâve been there for me when my so called friends werenât. When my parents werenât. Hell, you were there for me when Nancy wasnât. You stuck with me even when I was a total asshole-â
âYou were never an asshole Steve. Not to me. You know that.â
âAnd thatâs what I love about you. You always see the good in people even when literally everyone else knows- thinks theyâre an asshole.â
You couldnât hold back the tears welling up at this point, âYou know how much I hate everyone who made you feel like that right?â You werenât even upset about exposing your feelings, you were upset over the fact that Steve still sees himself like that sometimes.
âI know. And if it werenât for you Iâd probably never forgive myself for how I was. But you showed me that Iâm really not that guy. Iâm not that âKing Steveâ everyone talked about in highschool. If you werenât there for me throughout that time up until now, Iâd still be such a mess.â He chuckled a little. You didnât find it humorous however.
âPlease donât give me the credit for that. I just pointed out what you already knew was behind those walls. Fuck! Iâm so sorry Steve. I know everything youâve been through I know about all of the assholes who left you and here I am avoiding you for such selfish reasons!â You were fully crying at this point. How could you do what you hated so many others for doing?
Steve just quietly walked up to you and out your face in his hands, wiping the tears, âItâs okay y/n. Iâm okay. I didnât think you were abandoning me. I just thought Iâd done something stupid to upset you.â
âIâm still sorry for making you anxious about it. For the record I donât think you could ever upset me. at least not for more than ten minutes tops.â He laughed which made you smile.
âYou know how much I look up to you yeah?â
âY/n you donât have to-â
âI know. But I need you to know. I mean I already blurted out that I love you, so I might as well keep going,â you paused to look into his beautiful dark eyes, making sure he absorbs your words, âyouâre the most selfless person I know. Youâll do anything from letting someone rant to you for hours over something silly that upset them, throwing yourself into portals to hell. You pay such close attention to people you care about that you know every little tell-tale sign that somethings wrong. You know I get quiet when Iâm anxious, you know what sings to play to help Max when sheâs in a mood, I think youâre the only person Mike has ever gone to for advice. Youâre so-â
Steve mustâve understood your point because suddenly he was cutting you off with a kiss that took you by surprise, but you quickly reciprocated.
âGod I love you so much y/n.â He smiled against your lips.
âI love you so much too Steve.â
âYeah you made that pretty clear.â He chuckled and you playfully slapped his arm.
I devoured this story.
It became one of my favorites here.
Everything is so amazingly written and makes you feel so much emotions đđđ
Can't wait to read the rest of this beautiful story that broke my heart with the "we have something beautiful here, but I have to go home soon and I can't continue what we have" plot đđđ
 After a recent breakup, you decide that you still want to join your townâs Christmas Competition - and are encouraged by friends to ask your brooding coworker to be your partner.Â
Unwilling to get too close and let your feelings for the man ruin your new friendship, you attempt to keep your distance. But heâs also keeping his distance - and maybe even throwing the competition to an extent - to protect a secret of his own.Â
This is pure Hallmark cheese, but just to cover my bases:
- Each individual chapter lists warnings/specific summaries. Smut chapters are marked with *
Part 1: The Most Wonderful Time Of The YearÂ

Waking up after a hard night of drinking was always strange and unpleasant. In all honesty, that was why Eddie Munson preferred weed. Sure, getting drunk could be fun with the right people, but the next day was always a little slice of hell on earth.
Today was no exception. Rather than gently lifting up into consciousness as he woke up naturally, he was instead woken up by a severe pounding in his head.
Eddie opened his eyes briefly and groaned in pain before closing them again. The open curtains allowed the late morning sun to illuminate the room. The bright light sent bolts of pain through each of his eyeballs, making the headache worse. It was a steady pounding feeling, as if someone were in his head playing a drum solo.
Rolling onto his back, Eddie brought his ring clad hands up to his face to rub his eyes for a bit before attempting to open them again. While it still hurt, at least he expected the room to be so bright this time. Still though, it made his stomach turn a bit and his head throb even more. He knew if he tried to get up right now that his stomach wouldnât be feeling too good either. Eddie decided his normal hangover cure was in order.
Shutting his eyes again, he rolled over towards the center of his bed, fully intending to go back to sleep. He threw his arm out to stretch across the empty space next to him.
Instead of stretching out like he intended though, his arm landed on something that cause it do bend at an awkward angle, as if draped over something. Eddie cracked his eyes open again and lifted his head slightly. It took him a moment to process it, but he eventually realized there was someone else laying under the blankets with him, still sleeping peacefully.
While bringing someone home with him from The Hideout wasnât a completely uncommon occurrence, it didnât happen very often. And, when it did, he was always sober enough to remember it once he woke up in the next day. Right now, though, Eddie couldnât even remember how he got home from the bar last night, much less remember bringing someone home with him.
Though Eddieâs head was still pounding, the idea of sleep was forgotten. He started wracking his brain, trying to piece together the previous night.
Corroded Coffin had a Saturday night gig at The Hideout. That much he remembered. It ended up being a fantastic show. All of their friends came out for it, and they drew in a fairly large crowd since they were playing on the weekend. Granted, the bar was still under half capacity, but it was one of their largest crowds to date and that was something to celebrate. And, after the show, thatâs exactly what everyone had done.
Eddie remembered Steve buying a round of drinks after the performance. He remembered you and him sneaking off to a stall in the menâs room to share a joint. He remembered Gareth ordering a round of shots when the two of you got back. Then Robin ordered a round of drinks after that. And then Jeff ordered another round of shots after that. At some point, he vaguely remembered tequila getting involved. But, after that, there was nothing until just a little bit ago when he woke up.
After thinking on it for a while, he gave up on trying to remember, figuring that would come back later. But Eddie was curious now. He reached over to gently pull the blanket down a bit to see who it was he ended up taking home with him.
Eddie froze, still holding the blanket.
You. You were lying next to him in bed.
Eddieâs mind whirled, his heart pounding as loudly as his head by this point.
Youâd never been in bed with him before, even just to sleep. There were only a few times youâd ever stayed over, only on nights when you couldnât drive home or the weather was bad, but he always slept on the couch those nights so you could have the bed to yourself. There had to be a logical explanation for this.
Out of curiosity, he lifted the edge of the blanket and looked down.
Eddieâs heart stopped.
You both were completely naked.
He stared down at your bodies as he tried to comprehend what he was seeing.
You were laying with your arms folded against your chest and half on your stomach, which blocked your private areas from his view. All he could really see the full length of your bare leg all the way up past the curve of your ass to your hip.
Your hip that currently had a hand on it, which was neither his nor yours.
Eddie sat up hurriedly. It was quite a shock realizing there was a third person in bed with you two, but that was nothing in comparison to the shock of seeing who exactly it was.
Curled up on your other side was none other than Steve Harrington.
Once again, it took a moment for Eddie to comprehend what he was seeing.
The section of blanket on Steveâs side had slid down some, revealing that he was shirtless. Though, another peek under the blankets revealed that he was just as naked as you and Eddie were.
Fully in shock now, Eddie slowly laid back down. He stared at the ceiling, wracking his brain again in a desperate attempt to remember the night before.
The fog of alcohol and the headache from the hangover blocked off his memory still, so he gave up again and debated on what he should do next.
He supposed he could just leave and come back later after the both of you had left, but that would only delay the inevitable. You two would still be waking up naked in his bed even if he wasnât there to see it. Eventually, this would need to be addressed if you all wanted any sort of friendship after this. It was going to be awkward when the two of you woke up. That much he knew for sure.
Now in desperate need in of a smoke, Eddie carefully slipped out of bed, trying not to wake either of you. He found a pair of sweatpants among his laundry scattered about on the floor. As he pulled them on, he noticed your clothes and Steveâs flung haphazardly around the room, along with the clothes he had been wearing last night. He swallowed heavily, quietly heading from the bedroom.
As he made a pit stop in the bathroom, Eddie was still trying to figure out how you all ended up in bed together. He knew what it looked like. He was well aware of what it looked like. But it couldnât possibly have been that. No way. Heâd never been drunk or high enough to act on his attraction to either of you. The only thing he could think of was that all you all started feeling hot from the alcohol, stripped down to cool off and just fell asleep. That had to be it.
But then as he went to leave the bathroom, he glanced in the mirror and did a double take. Scattered along his upper chest, neck and shoulders were hickies and bite marks of various sizes and shades.
Stunned, he stared at himself for a moment. He turned slowly then turned to get a good look at the rest of his body. While there wasnât any more hickies that he could see, streaked down his back were several dark pink welts that were clearly nail marks. In addition to that, just above his shoulder blades were a few crescent shaped bruises, like someone had dug their nails into his back while holding onto him.
Eddieâs jaw dropped. He met his own gaze in the mirror.
âWhat the fuck did you do?â he said softly to his reflection.
In the living room, Eddie found evidence that you three had hung out here for a while before migrating to his bed. A few empty beer bottles littered the coffee table and a half-smoked joint sat in the ashtray. Eddie slipped on his jacket and sneakers before grabbing the joint on the way to the front door.
This morning called for something stronger than a cigarette now.
Trying to stay quiet, he left the front door partially open and gently closed the screen door. The sun was even brighter now that he was outside, which immediately got in Eddieâs eyes and made him wince. His head was throbbing even more now that he was up, which, as predicted, was starting to make his stomach queasy. He lit the joint first, hoping to calm his nerves as well as the effects of the hangover. Once that was gone, he fished his cigarettes out of his pocket and began chain smoking.
Not too long after Eddie started on his first cigarette, a very groggy, and very hungover, Steve sat up in bed. He rubbed his eyes and squinted as he looked around the room. Confusion sat in as he didnât recognize where he was at first. But then after his gaze landed on a couple of guitars and one heavy metal poster after another, he slowly came to realize he was in Eddieâs bedroom.
This didnât come as a surprise to Steve though. The plan the night before had always been to come back to Eddieâs place at the end of the night. Nancy had picked the three of you up from there since it was her turn to be the designated driver, so you all had left your vehicles there. While he didnât remember coming to bed, he had vague memories of sharing a cab with you and Eddie once the bar had closed, well after Nancy and the others had left. He remembered you three wanted to continue partying and you two decided you were staying the night. Wayne was out of town that weekend for work training, so Eddie was all for having you two over for the night.
As Steve went to swing his legs out of bed, a sudden throbbing in his head made him double over slightly, his elbows resting on his thighs, eyes squeezed closed and slightly watering.
Getting drunk is always a good idea until the next day.
Halfway through his third cigarette, Eddie heard someone stirring in the trailer through the screen door. Whoever it was, be it you or Steve, was trying to be quiet, but the creaky floor wasnât having it.
Eddie wasnât any closer to figuring out what he was going to do. Leaving still seemed like the best idea, but it was too late for that now. The keys to his van were on the kitchen counter.
Fortunately, whoever was it was didnât come outside, giving him some more time to compose himself. He listened to them shuffle across the living room, pick up the phone and dial a number.
Whoever they were trying to call didnât answer because Eddie heard them hang up then try again.
âCâmon, pick up,â a voice muttered from inside.
Eddie couldnât tell who it was until whoever the person they were trying to call finally answered.
âRobin! Finally!â they whisper yelled. âIâm freaking out over here!â
Eddie finally recognized the voice as Steveâs and some of his nerves eased hearing it was Steve, but he still wasnât quite ready to face him just yet. Creeping closer to the door, he listened in on Steveâs side of the conversation.
âYouâve gotta help me out, I donât know what to do!â Pause. âI canât calm down! I just woke up next to Y/N in Eddieâs bed!â Pause. âRobin, we were both naked!â Pause. âNo, Iâm not joking!â Pause. âSeriously, Robin, now is not the time for jokes!â Pause. âI donât know if I had fun, I donât remember anything after leaving The Hideout!â
Knowing that he wasnât the only one in the dark made Eddie feel a little better about the whole thing. But then a thought occurred to him, and all of his nerves came back.
In a way, he hoped you wouldnât remember any it either. There was no telling what your reaction would be to all this. There wasnât any use trying to deny what happened anymore. The three of you had a threesome last night. Or, at the very least, you and Eddie fucked. That much was obviously for certain judging from the way his own chest and back looked. But, then again, it wouldnât make much sense why Harrington would be in the same state as you both unless he was also involved too. At least if none of you remembered what happened, that way you would all be a blank slate and could pretend it didnât happen.
Granted, he didnât know how that would be possible since you all would know it happened, regardless of whether or not any of you remembered it. But, if thatâs what it took to still be friends after all this, he was willing to give it a shot. He didnât want to lose either of you due to some stupid drunken escapade.
Eddie sighed and took the last drag off his cigarette as Steve was finishing his call.
Time to face the music.
He stepped back into the trailer as Steve was hanging up the phone. Steve didnât hear him at first, giving Eddie the chance to get a look at him.
While Steve had pulled on his jeans, he was still shirtless, giving Eddie a good view of his torso. He could see some nail marks down his back, as well as a few hickies on his neck and shoulders.
There was one question answered, at least.
The sound of the screen door closing made Steve finally turn around, revealing more hickies across his chest. A sheepish look came over his face when he saw Eddie.
âUh, hey,â Steve said, running his hand through his hair nervously. âMorning.â
âMorning,â Eddie said, fiddling with his rings nervously.
A brief silence fell over the two men.
âY/Nâs naked,â Steve suddenly blurted out, and then pointed towards Eddieâs bedroom. âIn your bed. Back there.â
Eddie nodded slowly.
âYeah,â Eddie said, swallowing heavily. âYeah, I saw.â
âSo was I,â Steve said, and once again run his hand through his hair. âCompletely naked. Next to Y/N. In your bed.â
Eddie nodded again.
âYeeeah,â he said slowly. âI, uh, was naked, too. With you two. In my bed.â
Steveâs eyes widened and he swallowed heavily. He looked in the direction of the bedroom then back to Eddie.
âDo you think weâŠyou know?â Steve asked, gesturing between the two of them and the bedroom, then gave the air a little thrust of his hips, as if he didnât want to say what he was thinking.
âObviously,â Eddie said, and gestured between the two of them. âLook at us, man. We had a pretty wild night from the looks of it.â
At Eddieâs words, Steve looked down at his chest. His eyes were wide as he slowly looked back up at Eddie.
âWhat the hell should we do?â Steve whisper yelled, looking close to panicking.
âI have no idea!â Eddie whisper yelled back. âI canât say Iâve ever woken up like this before, much less with either of you!â
The two men stared at each other for a moment before Steve sighed.
âMan, this is crazy,â Steve said, which Eddie nodded in agreement with. Then Steve sighed, his arms crossing over his chest. âMaybeâŠwe should see how Y/N feels about it first?â
Eddie brightened.
âGood idea,â he said hurriedly, feeling somewhat relieved the overall outcome wouldnât be on his shoulders. âIf Y/Nâs fine with it, then Iâm fine with it.â
Steve nodded readily in agreement. He opened his mouth to say something else but cut himself off when the sound of the toilet flushing came from the bathroom down the hall.
Both men whipped their heads around at the sound. Neither of them had heard you get up. Soon, they heard the bathroom door open.
Now it really was time to face the music.
Since facing Steve had gone easier than expected, Eddie braced himself for your reaction. He was fully prepared for a meltdown. He expected you to be upset, and even braced himself for tears. He expected some yelling, possibly some screaming. There might even be some accusations, though the possibility of you thinking anything like that made Eddieâs stomach clench. He hoped you would know that he would never take advantage of you while you were drunkâŠbut, then again, could he really say that since he didnât even remember what happened? The very idea alone made his stomach clenched even tighter.
When you came out of the bathroom, you were dressed in your clothes from the night before. You were humming softly, which struck Eddie as strange considering the circumstances. You usually didnât hum all that much, just when you were in an exceedingly good mood. This didnât really strike Eddie as an occasion where you would be in a good mood though.
As you started to turn into the kitchen, you looked up and saw them in the living room.
âMorning fellas,â you said, smiling brightly at them both before ducking into the small kitchen.
They could hear you start to open cabinet doors. Eddie and Steve both looked at each other, deep confusion on their faces. It didnât seem like you were bothered by the state of things at all. Maybe you hadnât put two and two together yet? You woke up alone in bed, so it was possible.
You came back a moment later and stood in the doorway to the living room. A box of cereal was tucked under your arm, and you were eating it dry right out of the box with your free hand.
Aside from the crunch of cereal and the sounds drifting in from the outside, the room was silent. It wasnât exactly a comfortable silence but wasnât really an uncomfortable one either. It was just a silence.
Eddie started rubbing the back of his neck nervously, his gaze flicking repeatedly between you and Steve. Steve was in a similar state, one of his feet tapping anxiously and he kept crossing and uncrossing his arms, his eyes looking between you and Eddie. You seemed to be the only one relaxed, munching on your cereal and looking between the two men.
It seemed like everyone was waiting on someone else to start talking first.
After some time of this, you cleared your throat, which made them both look back over at you.
âUh,â you finally said, smiling shyly at them. âHi.â
âHi,â said both Eddie and Steve at the same time.
âI, uh,â you said, then stopped to clear your throat. âI had a lot of fun last night.â you said.
Before either of them could process what you just said, you started laughing nervously and shook your head.
âSorry,â you said, your cheeks flushing a soft pink. âThat was a really weird thing for me to say after everything. I mean, obviously, I had fun.â
Eddie exchanged another look with Steve, then back to you.
Now you were the one who looked nervous, taking their silent exchange of a look for something else.
âDid, did you two have fun, too?â you asked, shifting on your feet.
Eddie rubbed the back of his neck nervously.
âWell, um, thatâs the thing, Princess,â he said, then stopped, unsure of how to phrase things.
âWe were, uh,â Steve continued after a moment. âActually trying to figure all that out. What happened last night, I mean.â
Your eyes widened at their words, and you looked back and forth between the two again.
âYou guys donât remember?â you asked.
Both men shook their heads.
Your mouth dropped opened in shock.
âExactly h-how drunk were you two last night?â you asked softly.
âI donât remember leaving The Hideout,â Eddie confessed, with a shrug.
âI barely remember the cab ride here,â Steve said. âNothing after that though.â
Your hand flew to your mouth, an expression of horror on your face.
âOh my god, I am so sorry,â you said, your voice remorseful and you looked on the verge of tears. âI had no idea you guys were that drunk, I swear!â
âNo no no!â Eddie said, taking a few steps forward so he could rest a hand on your shoulder. âYou have nothing to be sorry for. This isnât your fault.â
All of a sudden, a very sheepish look came to you face and your cheeks flushed a bright pink.
âActually, um,â you said. âI kind of initiated the whole thing.â
There was a moment of silence.
âWhat whole thing?â Steve asked, voice quiet and tinged with awe.
There was another moment of silence.
âYou know,â you finally said, then gestured between the three of you, as if you were hesitant to say it. âUs. Having sex. It was my idea.â
There was a lot longer than just a moment of silence after that one.
Steve nearly fell over where he was standing but managed to catch his balance.
Eddieâs hand dropped from your shoulder in shock to hang limply at his side.
Now that it was confirmed, Eddie tried once again to remember the night before. Squeezing his eyes shut, he rubbed the bridge of his nose. The fog of alcohol was still too thick to penetrate with his head in the state it was and straining to think didnât do anything but make the headache worse.
âSo, um,â Steve said, finally breaking the silence and making Eddie look up. âH-How did it happen?â
âWell,â you said slowly, swallowing a bite of cereal. âWeâve all been flirting pretty heavily with each other for a while now, and Iâve had a thing for both of you for a long time before that.â A bashful grin came to your face then. âSo, I may have gotten a little buzzed and handsy at the bar, and you both were into it. After we came back here, we had a few more drinks and, wellâŠâ You cleared your throat and looked down shyly. âI decided to try my luck and asked if you two wanted to have sex with me.â
Both Eddie and Steve stared at you in shock.
âYouâve had a thing got us for a while?â Eddie said when he finally found his voice again.
You nodded.
There was a short pause in the conversation as they processed this.
âWell?â Steve said after abit. âWhatâd we say?â
Eddie looked over at him with a raised brow. As if their answer wasnât obvious already.
âTruthfully, not much,â you said as you looked up. âIt escalated pretty quickly after that. Though, you both did double check to make sure I fully understood what I was saying after the alcohol and weed.â A warm smile came to your face. âI thought that was really sweet.â
Now it was Eddieâs turn to look down shyly.
The room was got quiet again.
âBut you said you had fun, right?â Steve suddenly asked. You nodded in confirmation. âThen that must mean we did good, right?â
Eddie looked over at Steve, gawking at him. While this was an entirely new situation for him, Eddie was pretty sure it was in poor taste to ask for a report card after having a threesome.
To his surprise, you didnât seem to mind. Biting your bottom lip, you grinned and nodded.
Eddie couldnât help but grin himself then, a boost of confidence suddenly coming back. It briefly made him forget about the oddness of this situation.
âYeah?â he asked, then decided to be bold. âHow good?â
Now you were blushing again.
âWell, Iâm pretty sore today,â you said, your voice going a bit higher pitched, so you had to clear your throat before continuing. âYou both were pretty enthusiastic all night.â
It wasnât too long after that you had to leave since you were supposed to meet up with family later on. The three of you kept conversation light as you and Steve finished dressing, talking about your plans for the day.
Once you got ready to leave, you gave them each a soft kiss on the lips.
âHopefully once the hangovers go away you guys will remember some of it,â you said with a smile as you headed for the door.
âI sure as hell hope so, Princess,â Eddie groaned before he could stop himself.
While he turned red at his own words, you giggled at him as you opened the door to leave. It was the first time Eddie had ever heard that sound from you and it made his heart speed up. It gave him even more of his confidence back.
âIf we donât remember, any chance there could be a redo?â Eddie asked before he could talk himself out of it.
You froze in mid-step halfway out the door and turned quickly to look at Eddie. The shock on your face was almost comical. A quick glance over at Steve showed him staring at Eddie in horror. Looking back at you, Eddie gave you his biggest grin and winked at you, which he was delighted to see made you blush.
âUm, I-I donât know,â you said, and then a grin of your own slowly spread across your face. âMaybe. Youâll just have to wait and see.â
You sent a wink back at Eddie before leaving then. Steve wasnât too far behind, heading out himself just a few minutes later.
Plopping down on the couch as he listened to Steveâs car driving away, Eddie sighed heavily and rubbed the bridge of his nose. Initially, he didnât have plans for today, but now he knew what he was going to spend the rest of his day doing.
Trying to remember fucking his two very hot best friends.
