(I couldn't help it. I'm Reddie deprived. Giving people... somewhat of what they want. They still aren't gonna be together yet)
Richie sat in his room with the door locked. He didn't particularly want to be bothered today. He was having a mental breakdown about having to go to school soon knowing he'll have to face everyone. He was looking at himself in a mirror he had in his room. There was still a huge bruise around his nose from when he got punched.
He touched it lightly and flinched when it still hurt. He knew he should have expected it but he was always kinda dumb. His hair was shaggy and all over the place. His mom was gonna force him to cut it before school but he liked it like that.
Richie laid down on his bed. For once the boy was glad no one was around. He kind of missed Eddie but he wasn't going to go out of his way to fix it. He picked a random comic off his shelf and read it.
He got tired of it being so fucking quiet. He wished he had Eddie or Stan to come to bug him, but he didn't want to call them. Richie looked on his side table and saw the walkman Eddie got him. He felt a slight warmth on his face. He was blushing. Richie grabbed it and a random tape. He turned it to the first song.
(Play Bryan Adams- Heaven ;) )
Richie's eyes went wide. This was the song he and Eddie danced to. The blush he already had grown stronger. He was tempted to change it but he left it. Richie knew that he should stop before his feelings for Eddie grew more but he didn't care.
He didn't feel tired but he must have fallen asleep at some point because he woke up to a pounding on his door. Richie threw off the headphones onto his bed and opened the door. If God was real he was definitely listening to Richie's prayers. Eddie was the one who stood in his hall.
"Eddie!" Richie said excitedly hugging the smaller boy. "What the hell Richie?" Eddie said pushing him off. "You're my savior! I was so lonelyyyyy," Richie said dramatically. "Keep it up and I'll go back home." "So what brings you to my humble abode Eds?" Eddie shot him a dirty look. "No one else was home," Eddie said. Eddie had only gone to Bill's, he just wanted to see Richie.
"Just an afterthought? It hurts Eds it really does," Richie said holding a hand over his heart. Eddie knew he was kidding but he still felt bad. "Duh, why would you be my first thought?" Eddie joked back. "So, did you wanna go somewhere or what?" Richie asked walking toward his bed. "Um, I just wanna read comics or something," Eddie said following Richie into his room.
"Well, you're in luck because that's what I was already doing." Richie jumped on his bed as Eddie grabbed a comic. Eddie laid down next to Richie like always. Now that they were both aware of their feelings for one another, they both felt awkward. They both did their best to hide it which was failing miserably.
"Eddie?" Richie said turning his head to look at the other boy. "Yes?" He said looking away from his comic. "Are... you okay? It just seems like awkward or something," Richie said. Eddie studied Richie's face for a few seconds. There was a piece of hair falling in front of his eyes. "Yeah, I'm okay..." Eddie said reaching to move the hair from Richie's face.
Richie and Eddie started blushing when Eddie's hand reached his face and moved the hair. His hand lingered for a few seconds before he moved it back to his body. Richie shook his head. "Eds don't tempt me like that," Richie said quietly. Eddie looked confused. Richie regretted what he said. "I... just forget it. Pretend I didn't say anything." Richie went back to looking at his comic, but he couldn't read with the tears in his eyes.
Eddie noticed and forced Richie to look at him. A tear rolled down his cheek. "Richie, seriously what's wrong?" "I told you.. just forget it." Eddie reached for his face again. Richie grabbed his arm. "Stop that! You can't just keep touching me like that!" Eddie looked scared. "You can't just reach for my face like that and not expect me to want to kiss you!" Eddie blushed. He wanted to kiss him?
They both stayed silent and Richie was again regretting everything he said. "Then kiss me," Eddie said without thinking. Richie was shocked. Did Eddie just say to kiss him? "Well? I'm waiting." Richie grabbed Eddie and pulled him toward him. Richie crashed his lips down on Eddies desperately, like he was deprived of it.
Richie rolled on top of Eddie and kissed him like there was no tomorrow. Richie was out of breath but he didn't want to stop and Eddie wasn't doing anything to stop him, he was actually kissing back. He felt like his heart was going to explode.
They were like that for a few minutes until they heard someone talk. "You can't fake that sort of passion aye Richie?" Stanley said before bursting into laughter. Richie basically jumped off of Eddie. "I'm not gonna tell anyone. It's about time Richie kissed you anyway," Stanley joked. "Sorry, Ed's," Richie said grinning. "At least you're better than your mom," Richie added.
"Beep beep, Richie," Eddie said smacking Richie's arm.
