Richie and Eddie had been together for almost two weeks now. For Eddie's sake, they decided to keep it secret. Richie hated that he had to keep his hands off Eddie. As you would assume from two awkward teen boys, they hadn't done much other than small kisses, small hugs, and hand-holding, but that didn't stop Richie from constantly being close to the smaller boy.
The Losers were all at Bill's house for the weekend. Bill's parents were out for the week, but no one expected anything else, and so were Richie's. Stanley was on thin ice with his parents after what he did at his bar mitzvah, and they didn't like Richie.
Richie and Stan were fighting about what the best horror movie was while everyone told them to shut the fuck up. Richie turned to Eddie. "Spaghetti, tell him Friday The 13th isn't the best!" Richie whined. "No, I'm not getting into this," Eddie said rolling his eyes. "And don't call me that!"
Stanley smirked and crossed his arms. "Eddieeeeeee, please!" Richie said begging him. "I thought you li-!" Richie was cut off by Eddie quickly throwing a pillow at Richie. "Fine, it isn't the best. The werewolf one was." Eddie picked the pillow up and brushed it off.
"Ha! Take that!" Richie said grabbing Eddie and ruffling his hair. Eddie swatted at his hand before running back to where Bev was. Richie flopped down on the couch by Mike and Ben. "Hey boys," Richie said winking at each of them. Eddie saw this and scowled.
"Hey Bill, can I use a cup for water?" Eddie asked eager to get out of there. He hated that he got jealous, Richie was just doing what he asked. Bill nodded and Eddie hurried into the kitchen. They all knew Eddie was too short so they weren't surprised when Richie hopped off the couch and followed him.
"Whatcha doin Eds?" Richie asked walking up behind Eddie. He jumped, shocked when Richie reached over him and put a glass on the counter. Eddie rolled his eyes and turned to face him. "I could have got that myself, you jerk," Eddie mumbled. Richie raised his eyebrow.
"Was that sass? What's wrong?" Richie said concerned. Eddie was normally sassy, but he was never quiet about it. "You winked at them," Eddie said crossing his arms. "Did I?" Richie said innocently. Eddie glared at him.
"Okay, okay I'm sorry. You said you didn't want them to know, I was just being myself. I wink at your mom all the time," Richie said. "Stop talking about my mom!" Richie chuckled and put his hands on Eddie's waist. He kissed him on the top of the head and started to kiss all over his face.
In an attempt to make him stop Eddie tried to go back to swat him off, but he hit the glass instead. It fell to the floor, shattering. They were both shocked, giving Richie no time to take his hands off Eddie's waist.
The Losers all raced into the kitchen shocked to see the two boys like that. "Well, we've been caught Eds." He whispered to him. "It really isn't what it looks like!" Eddie shrieked forcing Richie's hands off him.
"I thought he was Mrs. Kaspbrak and you know how that goes," Richie joked. Eddie punched him. "Don't listen to this idiot. He lifted me up to grab a cup and I accidentally dropped it when he almost dropped me," Eddie said shaking his head. The rest of the Losers laughed because that was definitely a Richie thing to do.
They all cleaned the glass off the floor and headed back to the living room. Stanley, Eddie, and Richie were the only ones left in the kitchen. Stanley crossed his arms and looked at the two boys. "So, are you two-" "Nope!" Richie said before even letting him finish. Stanley smirked. That was a yes, he didn't even know what he was going to ask.
Later that night when they were all going to bed, Richie placed his sleeping bag next to Eddie's. No one else seemed to notice. No one but Stanley. But Richie and Eddie weren't the only two who needed to be questioned, Stanley and Bill are placed oddly close to each other too. RIchie decided he would question him later when he inevitably questioned Richie about Eddie.
After Richie and Eddie were sure that everyone was asleep they got out of their sleeping bags and snuck to the bathroom. When Eddie closed the door and locked it, Richie immediately pulled him into a hug.
Richie loved being close to Eddie and it didn't help that he was so huggable. Richie snuggled his face into the smaller boy's shoulder and they stayed there for a while. They both were freaked out about almost getting caught earlier. Especially Eddie. He didn't want anyone to know that he was gay, he was embarrassed and if his mom found out she'd probably send him to a camp.
After Eddie made Richie let go, he put his arms around Richie's neck and pulled him into a kiss. Richie smiled against the smaller boy's lips. When they broke it off Eddie was blushing, like always, and Richie was smiling like a mad man. "What?" Eddie asked confused.
"Nothing, I just missed kissing you," Richie said shrugging. He kissed Eddie again before they turned the light off to leave the bathroom.
They didn't notice Beverly scatter quickly back into the living room.
