Chapter Text
“So it was... good...with me?” He fished for a compliment after she’d told him the whole story. “It was everything you wanted?”
Eddie was leaning back on the kitchen sink and twirling a lock of his hair around his finger. He watched her pretty eyes widen and her cheeks go pink. Good. She’d shocked him first, after all.
It’s not everyday that someone tells you they are here from the future because they need your help to stop the destruction of the world,
AND
they are stuck in a 14 hour time loop,
AND
when you ask why EXACTLY are they wearing your Indiana Department of Corrections sweatpants with the blood stain on the knee from your skateboarding fiasco, and your Megadeth shirt signed “Eddie, Stay Real” by Dave Mustaine??! ---- Then she tells you It’s because you loaned them to her after you had sex... in the future.
That last bit of context had Eddie’s mind reeling.
Sure, If he didn’t already know that the Upside Down existed and there were time anomalies there (like in Wheeler’s house)....he’d think she was full of shit, running a con, or certifiably insane.
But it wasn’t the weirdest stuff he’d heard this week, so he most immediately wanted to confirm if she'd had a good time with him in the sack.
In the future sack.
She nodded seriously and pulled an economy sized box of Magnum condoms from her bag, setting it on Uncle Wayne’s kitchen counter. Eddie nervously huffed a laugh in surprise.
She patted the box. “Not just good... It’s magical with you.”
Eddie could feel his smirk growing. “And so you brought plenty of supplies? For more magic? On the first date??! What kinda slut do you think I am anyway?” He was teasing, Eddie knew he could be just that kind of slut if she wanted.
She laughed then sighed. “I need to torch the Demogorgan Spawning grounds before the hatching begins in three hours or demo-pollywogs will swarm Hawkins, eating, multiplying, growing into full sized monsters, destroying the town and eventually the continent.”
“Like… Gremlins?” Eddie asked.
She shrugged “Kinda, And I can’t do it alone, I’ve tried. But - You and I got it done last loop with your Uncle’s propane tank, easy-peasy. Only ... “ She bit her lip and started speaking faster “...the demogorgan spawning grounds are surrounded by this psychotropic pollen or spore. Inhaling it made us both ridiculously horny, like, we barely made it back to your bedroom! I already had the hots for you, but the pollen stuff made me... ” She shook her head, blushed redder, and shrugged, looking away - looking at everything but Eddie. She brought 2 large medical masks from her bag.
“It’s very intense, so, if you prefer, we can wear masks and not be... compromised , or I can ask someone else for help if you’d rather? Or we can risk exposure to the spore and you’ll see what I mean. I just ...” She made eye contact again, “I trust you and would always choose you to partner with for a quest like this whether it leads to sex later or not.”
“Flattery is my one weakness.” Eddie said. This was patently untrue. He had many weaknesses but being told she’d choose him first, was very nice.
She reached for his hands - took them in hers, squeezed them then let them go. “I want it to be something you choose, not something I got you into without fully explaining the consequences. It has to be your choice. “
Eddie’s hands were still hanging in the air - still feeling the ghost of her hands on his - he dropped them to his sides as he considered this.
Not mulling over the sexual consequences, so much.
What he considered was that this gal had come from nowhere and although she was offering him epic apparently no- strings sex…. really he’d rather have some strings.
Or at least some dates and hang-outs that weren’t involving the saving of mankind. Hook-ups were great but Eddie’d been very alone for a while now.
And she sounded so chill about it but she was trapped in a time loop. The part of Eddie that had always wanted to be a hero - very much wanted to rescue this damsel in moderate to severe distress.
Also, Eddie’s ego wanted some confirmation that it wasn’t just the weird Upside Down Spores that made the sex so good for her.
“Of course I’ll help you. But...How about a kiss first before I decide on the masks?” Eddie asked. “Just a regular old kiss with no psychotropic pollen involved?? Would that be okay??”
She smiled and bit her bottom lip. She stepped toward Eddie and he closed the distance between them.
At first the kiss was just soft and incredibly sweet. But her arms went around his neck and then he felt her nip on his lower lip, so Eddie kissed her back deeply and soon one of her legs was wrapped around his hip and he was grinding against her and she was making hot little whimpers into his mouth, onto his tongue. Eddie was already turned on from just talking about sex, but making out with her was hot as hell and he was having a hard time thinking about anything else.
He was panting when he pulled back to ask, “Are you sure it’s the pollen that makes it intense?? I mean, that felt pretty goddamned intense. Maybe we just have great chemistry?”
She dropped her arms. “We do, honey, I told you, I want you already - the minute I saw you but , the pollen stuff just makes things worse . It made you hard for hours... you came 6 times while we were with each other, but you were still hard inside me when I got pulled back into the time loop.”
Eddie whispered ‘6?!!?’ - his mouth suddenly dry.
She nodded.
“We used 6 condoms in a day ??” His voice cracked on the question.
“Um...We didn’t have any condoms. Neither of us were exactly expecting to get busy . You pulled out, though. You came all over me but not inside.” She said this softly, and one of her hands was slipping under his shirt hem and her fingers were stroking up his side. It was the hottest thing anyone had ever said to Eddie. He breathed out through pursed lips and shook out his hands which felt tingly.
“How many times did you come?” He asked.
“I lost count, honey.” She shrugged, smiled.
“As fun as that all sounds... Honey ” Eddie put a hand into her hair, rubbing his thumb across her cheek. “And it does . I don’t want you to just disappear on me. Don’t you want to be free of the time loop? Is there something I can do to...”
She touched his lips and Eddie got quiet. “I don’t have a choice about the loop thing. It’s for the best.” She said, as if this was the most normal situation she could be in. Just another Sunday.
Eddie squeezed her shoulders, kissed her forehead, spun on his heel and paced in the kitchen, not a lot of pacing space there, but he gave it his best. He bit his thumbnail cuticle, thought hard . Diligently and hard.
He was coming up with the bones of a plan to save her, but he needed more time to think, and more information about the particulars of her loop.
He picked up the condom box in one hand and the masks in the other and put them back in her bag. “Let’s go fry some demo-eggs.”
