Summary
Eddie had never considered himself much of a hero; it was easier to play one behind an inch tall figurine. Better even yet, to devise the machinations that would drive little would-be heroes toward their goals. On paper anyway. Damsels usually found him a cause for their distress, or at least tended to cross the street or double check their car door locks when he passed by. When a new girl in Hawkins strikes the younger members of Hellfire as one of Eddie’s ‘lost sheep’ types, he takes a chance and reaches out. In spite of his best efforts, she's painfully slow to warm and open up to him, but as she does they come to find they have a lot more in common than they initially anticipated. Star-crossed, and 'opposites attract' kinda' lovers is a pretty romantic trope and all, Eddie figures, but sometimes you can only find the one who understands you best when they come from the same side of the tracks.
