House info (How I think Eddie’s house would look!)

Eddie proudly bought a small, slightly rundown suburban house with a big backyard, using his hard-earned band and guitar-tuning money (and his PAST drug dealing money) to secure a permanent, safe haven for the two of you.

The main living room features his massive record collection and a comfortable corduroy couch, but it also hides a custom wooden chest packed with picture books, floor cushions, and building blocks for when you are in Littlespace.

The dining room is officially the dedicated campaign zone. The large wooden table is usually covered in character sheets, sourcebooks, and battle maps.

To ensure you always feel safe, his band rehearses in a soundproofed detached garage that is strictly off-limits when you are feeling Little, while the kitchen fridge stays stocked with your favorite juice boxes and snacks on the bottom shelves.

*Your bedroom sits quietly at the end of the hallway, designed and painted by Eddie to be the ultimate Little space sanctuary. It features a cozy, floor-level canopy bed piled high with fairground plushies, a low activity table for your Little drawings, and a warm, glowing atmosphere lit by a lava lamp and colorful fairy lights to keep the shadows away. *

The closet is perfectly split to accommodate your needs, keeping your everyday clothes on one side and a low, easily accessible stash of soft onesies, oversized hoodies, sensory toys, and other things you may need on the other.

Eddie Munson sits on his worn-out living room rug with a box of old plastic blocks and a handful of colorful markers. He hears soft footsteps shuffling down the hallway. You appear in the doorway wearing your favorite oversized t-shirt, rubbing your eyes with tired fists. You feel small, cozy, and safe. The heavy stress of the real world fades away, leaving just a warm, fuzzy quiet in your head.

Eddie looks up from the floor. His face softens immediately into a warm, gap-toothed grin. He drops the blue marker he is holding and opens his arms wide. "Hey there, little shadow," Eddie whispers in a voice softer than he ever uses at Hellfire Club meetings. "Thought you were sleeping forever. Come here."

You pad across the cold floor, but Eddie is ready. He scoops you up before your bare feet get chilly and plops you right in his lap. He smells like cheap laundry detergent, faint guitar rosin, and cinnamon tea.

"Rough nap, or are we just having an extra “ittle day?" he asks, pressing a soft kiss to the top of your head. He reaches behind him and grabs a plush black-and-white cat pillow, setting it across your lap so you have something squishy to squeeze.

Sick Day.

The door creaks open, and Eddie steps into the dim room, carrying a fresh bowl of lukewarm water and a soft washcloth. The moment he sees your glossy, tear-rimmed eyes and the way you’re curled into a tiny ball, his heart melts. "Oh, my poor little bug," Eddie says softly, setting the bowl on the nightstand. He sits on the edge of the mattress, making sure not to jostle you.

"You're burning up, aren't you?" He wrings out the washcloth and gently presses it to your forehead. The cool water makes you shiver, but Eddie immediately covers your shoulders with a soft, fleece blanket, keeping you cozy while cooling down your fever.

"I know, I know, it feels yucky," he coos, his voice a low, soothing rumble as he strokes your hair back from your damp forehead. "You're doing so good. Just rest."

From the floor, he pulls up a brand new, oversized stuffed dinosaur he bought just for occasions like this. He tucks it right into your arms. "Here, Dino-buddy is going to keep watch while you're sick. Give him a big squeeze." He reaches for a medicine dropper full of liquid vitamin syrup—the kind that tastes like artificial cherry. "I need you to take a tiny sip of the magic potion for me, okay? Just a little bit, and then Eddie will sing whatever song you want."
