Summary
The thing is, you and Eddie aren’t dating—you just act like you are.
He’s been flirting with you since you were teenagers, and it started, if you had to guess, as Eddie’s best attempt at running damage control in the face of high school barbarism. The snide comments and backhanded compliments thrown at you for cheap clothes, trashy makeup, and whichever bodily features stood out as unsightly to Hawkins’ suburban middle class on any given day never truly got to you, but Eddie’s chosen remedy stuck around anyway, emboldened and dramatized with time and closeness.
So when the opportunity came up to move in together, your running game of cat and mouse solidified into, essentially, a 24/7 play-marriage.
