[ After his first attempt at senior year ended in failures all around, Eddie hasn't exactly been enthusiastic about coming back to Hawkins High. He's done his hardest to stick to the background whenever possible, not trying to start shit with the clear turf war that seems to be brewing with Billy Hargrove and Tommy Hagan. And while he's got his band and the D&D club, that still leaves him alone at lunch most days.
With a sigh, Eddie plops himself down and tries his hardest to eat in peace. No standing up on tables, saying fuck you to the man and to conformity. No, he just wants to get through this year and pretend like he wasn't supposed to graduate last year.
For the most part, everyone leaves him alone. They know better than to upset the balance, because Eddie provides the party favors. But he doesn't want to test his luck, either. Who knows when they'll deem him and his services no longer necessary?
The perks of selling to the elite, does mean that he can see that shit is definitely going down. Harrington has been out of commission for a while, and Billy Hargrove was out for a couple days before returning with a suspiciously black eye. The two might not be connected, but then again, perhaps it was?
He'll probably never find out, though. Steve Harrington doesn't exactly tolerate his presence, never has, and never will. He might not wear a crown any longer, but Eddie still knows his place among the plebians of Hawkins High.
There are rumblings, that it has something to do with the whole Wheeler and Byers situation, but Eddie isn't going to speculate there. He does find it kind of weird that Wheeler left Harrington for Byers, but he knows better than to try and figure out the truth. That's just going to lead Eddie to death threats and nothing more.
He's just popping a grape in his mouth when Harrington walks into the cafeteria and --
holy shit, he looks like he had the shit kicked out of him at one point. What the fuck? He tries to look away quickly, because he just knows he's going to get a smartass comment if Steve sees that he's been staring. But he does nearly choke on the grape in the process, needing to pound his fist against his chest to get it to dislodge. What the fuck. ]

In the end he can't change the choices made and certain harsh words said. The reality was that Nancy was happier with Jonathan, she loved him.Β Steve couldn't rob her of the happiness she both seeked and deserved. What kind of a person would he be if he had?Β
His dream relationship just wasn't meant to be.
Funny. He hasn't pulled his eyes away from Eddie's own. He's finding himself suddenly infatuated. Must be the weed?)
I don't think that.

He swallows thickly, not willing to break the spell that has apparently taken over them. )
You don't?

It's nice to have someone to talk to even if this might be a one time deal. He can feel his body shifting against the sofa due to the way those bright eyes are gazing at him like he's this special little treat.
It's kinda hot?)
Nah. Not with the personality you have.
