eddie's never really felt more relief than when he hears his name fall from chrissy's lips. a part of him is always afraid that this is part of vecna's curse, that he'll watch her float up with eyes rolled back and hear that deep, taunting voice both nancy and max mentioned.
which is so fucking selfish of him, he knows, because chrissy actually went through that shit.
he shakes that off though, wraps his arms around her in a hug as best he can with a spear in the way. the touch is welcome because they're both tactile people, two kids from hawkins trying to survive. maybe in a better or worse off place, he's not sure. hawkins for him was pretty awful but chrissy doesn't deserve this. ] We just have to hide. [ and eddie's good at that, at finding the places where no one will look. he grasps her hand, takes hold and they take off. there's a row of abandoned buildings up ahead, stores abandoned in the night. eddie hears the bats screeching behind them and suddenly pulls chrissy into one of the abandoned convenience stores. the door's transparent so anyone can see inside and -- fuck -- eddie sees a shelf right next to it, rushes to the other side to push it to block the door and manages that. ] Okay.
