Year:1981
New Year's Eve Party at Bar
Cassidy's pov

I look at the clock and see it's already 2:07 am and Eddie looks wasted out of his damn mind. Michael has been trying to calm him down, but it's no use. Alex and David were off in la la land with some girls, so they had no idea what was going on, and Angelica was talking to some guy who had offered to buy her a drink. It's just Eddie and me.

He started dancing on the bar table and ended up in my lap laughing his ass off at my nervous and frightened face. My mood shifted the moment Eddie put his lips on mine and continued like nothing happened.

"Eddie, I think you've had enough. Let me take that." I said, directing my hands towards the possible millionth drink in his hands. He ran out of cigarettes an hour ago. He pouted like a child and pushed his bottom lip out while whining.

"Nooo. You're n-no fun. C'mon, let's d-dance a l-little. Live a little Cass!" he said throwing his hands in the air giggling like a child as he started to drag me to the dance floor again.

I pulled away from his grip before grabbing his arm and taking him to Angelica. She was too busy talking up the guy to notice I was there for the first 2 minutes before I waved my hands in front of her face like a mad person to get her attention.

"I'm taking him home. He can barely walk at this point. You can have the car since his apartment isn't too far. Plus, I know you'll need it. I'll call you later." I told her as she nodded, looking at Eddie as he looked around at everyone like a child in a zoo. Wide-eyed and gaping at the people around him.

"I'll let the guys know if they ever turn up." She rolled her eyes before returning to the previous conversation with the stud beside her.

As I dragged Eddie outside of the bar I hear Michael drunkenly yell, "Get some Halen!" laughing in the background. I glare at the corner where I hear the voice come from. The last thing I need is Roth making this any more of an upsetting night.

I searched my pockets to make sure I had everything. "Okay, Eds. I'm gonna take you home. Do you know where your keys are? "I asked, trying to get his attention as he kept looking at his surroundings.

"I-In my p-pock-ket." He smirked at his own words thinking he was so smooth. "Well, could you try and get them so I can take you home?" I asked, slowly losing my patience for my drunken best friend.

"Nope," he said, popping the 'p' to prove his point. Swallowing every ounce of dignity, I had in me, I carefully filled around his pant pocket and reached into it. As soon as I grabbed the keys, Eddie Shivered with a boyish laugh.

"Woah, a-at least b-buy me dinner f-first, baby!" He chuckled at the feeling of my hands in his pocket. I blushed at the word 'baby'. He would call me that same bittersweet nickname even when he was sober. I shook it off before handling the keys in my hands.

"Um, can you walk?" I asked, making sure he can take a few steps to his apartment that wasn't maybe a block from the bar. "Course I can. Walked o-out here, didn't I?" he spoke sarcastically. He let go of my arm and carefully took a few steps, stumbling down the street. Welp, that's my answer.

Cassidy struggled to open Eddie's apartment door with one hand on his arm around her shoulder. As she struggled to find the key, she felt a pair of soft lips on the skin of her neck. She froze, feeling butterflies in her belly as he kissed her neck. He pulled her closer by the arm into a little side hug for better access. Eddie is never this touchy when he's drunk, so this is all new to Cassidy.

His lips against her felt like something she needed in times of comfort. She felt such a soft presence with Eddie that no one else could fill. Snapping out of her trance, she finally opened the door and continued taking a few strides into his apartment.

Cassidy helped Eddie upstairs to his bedroom as Eddie kept muttering small jokes in Dutch while laughing to himself. The final step to his bedroom was the hardest. She laid Eddie out on the bed gently before standing up to stretch. Having to help him took it out on her back.

"Okay, Eds, you stay here while I go get some water. - "she tried to reason before he interrupted. "No, no, no, you stay here and cuddle me. I need them, Cass" He drug out his words like a dramatic kid wanting candy. Cassidy gave in and sat beside him, letting him hug her closely.

As she got comfortable, she heard Eddie mumble something in Dutch again while playing with her hair. "Ik hou zoveel van je" (I love you so much) he whispered. She had no idea what he was saying, but she bet it's another drunk joke. She tapped his knee a few times before getting up and telling him she was going to get some water for him.

She headed downstairs to his kitchen and reached up to her tiptoes to his cabinets to get a glass and fill it with water. While she was looking for painkillers, she heard a loud thump upstairs that could only be the drunk Edward Van Halen himself. Carrying the glass and the painkillers, she headed upstairs.

I slowly opened the door, freezing in my steps, nearly spilling the water to see a half-naked Eddie in his bed. His hair a mess and his abs full on display. My cheeks heated up immediately as the sight. It's not like I hadn't seen him like this before, but every time it still never fails to make my face flush red.

He sees me in the doorway and smiles softly as he gets under the covers to go to sleep. I placed the glass and bottle on the side table so he can take them in the morning. "Here, I'll leave you these for when you get up" I said, looking over at his now-pouted face.

"I gotta go but call me if you need me. I'll see you in the morning." I said quickly, playing with my hair a little as I took a few steps to leave. "Wait Cass could you please maybe stay? I don't want you to go it's late you could get hurt." He said with a hint of worry in his tone.

Even though he may still be drunk, he does make sense. I shouldn't go out this late; it's too risky. "Fine, I'll sleep on the couch. "I said, heading towards the door again, only for Eddie's words to stop me again. "That's ridiculous Cass just sleep in here with me." He said patting the bed beside him making it tempting for me to jump in beside him. "Eds, I don't know if that's a good i- ""Cass stop overthinking and get into bed. It's late." He said, not taking no for an answer. I nodded gently while rubbing my hands up and down against my thighs out of nerves.

"You still got some of my clothes in the second drawer?" I asked, hoping he would remember. I spent a lot of time at his place and sometimes even spent the night when we would have a movie night, so I had a couple of pairs of clothes in his drawer just in case.

"Nah, remember you took them home to wash. Just wear one of my shirts. Your favorites in the bottom drawer. "He gestured towards the dresser. I went over to get the shirt he always wore that I always loved. It was a black ACDC "If You Want Blood" 1979 tour shirt that Eddie had got at one of his ACDC concerts.

I loved it because it was too big for me, yet it would fit me just right, and anytime I wore it I felt a lot closer to him. I got that and a pair of his sweatpants and headed to change. After I got changed, I headed back to his room and got under the covers but kept a good distance away. I laid on my side as my back faced Eddie.

Laying there I kept thinking about the kiss. I couldn't help my thoughts from drifting to the way our lips moved so perfectly together. My heart beating so loud and hard in my chest it might explode just thinking of how soft his lips were against my neck when we got here.

I felt a dip in the bed and felt Eddie wrap his arms around me and put his head in the crook of my neck. His nosed brushing softly against the soft flesh of my neck making me relax yet get tense at the feeling of my best friend being so close. I just blamed it on the fact that he drank a lot tonight and he doesn't mean anything he has done or is doing. Feeling myself in his warm embrace is a familiar thing I've missed.

"You're the most beautiful girl Cass. I love you so much you don't even understand." He whispered while placing small kisses to the crook of my neck where his nose was. I tried to brush it off as much as I could but him mumbling he loved me repeatedly kept causing my heart to clench and my chest to hurt so much.

"Eds, you don't mean that you're drunk" I spoke quietly while playing with his frizzy hair that I loved so much. "Don't say anything you'll regret" I said making him move from my neck and lean back up to look at me. He turned me over to face him. His eyes were a little clearer than they were earlier in the night. Less hazy than before.

"Cass I'm sober enough to know what I'm saying." He said looking me right in the eyes. His hazel eyes light with affection. My whole body was tense with confusion.

"Cass I'm so in love with you. I honestly can't believe you didn't notice. I mean I thought I was being obvious. Every time we're together, I always stop and admire you. You're so kind, loving, compassionate, and selfless. How could someone not be in love with you." he said, staring into my eyes deeply.

He stops to stare at my lips which I can't help but do back. His lips are so alluring I just want to feel them against mine again. "I mean every word I said. That kiss at midnight. I've been dying to do that for so many fucking years. A few drinks finally got me the balls to do it finally." He chuckled a little to himself as I smiled at him while he peered up from his side a little.

"So please don't kill me for doing this "he begged. I pulled a confused look before he pressed his lips to mine. He slowly moved his lips against mine. His hand reached for my cheek as the other kept him on his side. He kept the pace slow as if he was cherishing the way our lips felt together. I felt a smile against my lips when I kissed back causing me to smile too.

"I love you too" I whispered against his lips. He pulled away looking at me with the biggest smile he could have. "Really? You're not fucking with me are you because if you are you're just a horrible woman." He asked scared as if this was some kind of joke, I was playing on him.

I giggled shaking my head "No Eds I'm serious. I just didn't know how to tell you either" I laughed at his shocked expression as he jumped straight up and straddled my hips causing me to laugh even more.

"Gosh were so stupid" we laughed at how oblivious we both were this whole time. We stare into each other's eyes before leaning into each other's lips once more. This time I knew he meant it.

Our lips molded together like the perfect missing pieces. My hands reached into his hair as his were on my waist reaching higher as the kiss escalated. Our breaths were heavy and rushed as our lips grew rough against one another. My fingertips travelled to his tight abs feeling the ridges on my skin.

I felt his hands move under my-well-his shirt feeling his rough hands on the skin of my stomach. The kiss quickly turned into a heavy make out both of us wanting this for a long time and neither of us are stopping. Eddie pulled away from my swollen lips and kissed his way down to my neck. I sighed softly at the feeling of his lips sucking gently on the delicate skin.

I then felt his fingers tug on the shirt as he pulled away to look at me to ask. His lips were swollen cherry red and made me smile that I had something to do with that. He looked into my eyes asking gently. I nodded trusting no one more than him. He smiled before kissing me again with so much passion. He tugged the shirt of throwing it behind him immediately connecting our lips back into a heated kiss.

That kiss meant something after all.
