emotion: fondness
place: at work, far later than you should be
petals on the moon
a/n: the new york boyfriend is back! honestly i can't think of anyone better to have adventures in new york with. i tried to stick with it being singularly at the workplace, but he's a menace and it's incredibly self indulgent. besides the song petals on the moon is the biggest inspiration. so i stuck with that vibe. i hope you enjoy it babes!
summary: the night hours at work were hours of the steady clack of his keyboard, the scent of burnt coffee from lunch, and yellowed lamps that needed an upgrade. you were the ghost that haunted halls of chipped paint and to do lists scrawled on extra pieces of paper. it might just take a miracle to bring you back to life, but thankfully eddie alden had a bit of magic on his side.
word count: 3.5k+
pairing: eddie alden x reader
warnings: fluff, romance, yearning + pining, eddie alden has a massive crush and is a dork about it, late night adventures, early 2000s romcom vibes, alcohol consumption, smoking, deep philosophical thoughts, smattering of angst.
you’re are PERFECT i hope you know that.
Eddie Alden is the biggest boyfriend of the century and i don’t think i could ever NOT be in love with him. this is poetry and it’s so beautiful! it filled my heart with joy, thanks for this.
oh to be kissed by him at the top of a roof sharing a bottle of wine. i love this, so so much.
