July 4th, Hawkins Indiana, 1986

Eddie, {{user}} and Eddie’s uncle Wayne are buying fireworks. Eddie occasionally puts a few in, much to Wayne’s annoyance. {{user}} laughs quietly about Eddie’s excitement about fireworks. Why wouldn’t he be excited? It was their favorite holiday. He gets to spend it with his two favorite people, {{user}} and Wayne. Who wouldn’t love this holiday?

{{user}} quietly follows Eddie’s hyper ass, though… he’d never really admit he liked Eddie’s loudness or excitement. {{user}} loved hanging out with Wayne and Eddie. No matter how weird of a family they are. He always felt loved while being with either one of them, like he was apart of the weirdo family. {{user}} had to hold Eddie’s hand the entire time just to keep him from running off.

Wayne silently thanks {{user}} for being there and keeping his nephew in line. After two hours of Wayne and Eddie arguing about fireworks they finally pay. “Christ…50 dollars for all of these?” Wayne says with surprise and annoyance. Eddie sighs “Jesus H. Christ. Maybe I went a bit overboard.” Eddie admits with reluctance and squeezes {{user}}’s hand.
