(The Corona virus really messed up my idea of updating more. I'm alright now so I should be able to now but quarantine had me fucked up)
"Richie! Get off of me!" Eddie whined. Richie had Eddie pinned down on his bed tickling him. Eddie absolutely hated being tickled but there was no stopping Richie.
Eddie struggled to kick him off as he began to cry laughing. Richie finally stopped and shoot his head. "Come on Eds, you gotta get stronger," Richie said smiling.
Eddie rolled his eyes. "It's not my fault!" Richie pinched Eddie's cheek. "It's cute when you try, though." Eddie blushed and turned his head away, hoping Richie wouldn't notice.
Richie did notice, and used one hand to turn his face back towards him. Richie planted a kiss on the tip of Eddie's nose which caused him to giggle.
Richie actually kissed him before plopping down next to Eddie. Eddie was tiny so he always ended up as little spoon. Richie wrapped his arms around Eddie and pulled him close. There was something about holding the thin boy that drove Richie crazy.
Eddie fell asleep and Richie just watched him. He felt weird about it, Eddie was asleep. Maybe he didn't want Richie to watch him. He just couldn't help it. Eddie was too cute to not stare at. He was so caught up in watching him he didn't hear the footsteps coming up the stairs.
"Rich?" Maggie said from the doorway. Richie basically shoved Eddie off the bed. "Ow! What the fuck?" Eddie shouted. Eddie sat up and saw Richie's mom. His face turned bright red. Fuck. She caught them.
She slowly nodded and walked away. Richie bolted up and shut the door. "Fuck! She caught us!" Richie said hyperventilating. He paced back and forth freaking out. "Richie you'll be fi-" "Eddie shut up! She's gonna hate me! I'm gonna have to live on the streets!" Richie started crying.
Eddie jumped up and ran to Richie. He wrapped his arms around him. Richie cried on his shoulder. Edde just let him. He didn't know what else he was supposed to do.
"Richie?" Eddie said after a while. Richie shook his head no and Eddie rolled his eyes. "Do you want me to call Stan?" Richie just shrugged.
Eddie managed to escape Richies death grip and went downstairs to call Stanley. "Hey Stanley." "Hi?"
"Can you come to Richie's house?" "Why?" "Please."
Eddie saw Maggie look at him. "I have to go. Just come, please," Eddie said hanging up the phone. He ran back upstairs. Maggie shook her head before grabbing her purse and leaving the house.
When Stanley got to Richie's house, Eddie was sitting on the foot of his bed and Richie was pacing back and forth, like always. He didnt even bother knocking on the door, he just come inside.
"Okay... so is anyone going to tell me what happened?" Stanley asked. Richie shook his head no and Eddie rolled his eyes. "His mom caught us."
"Oh." The thought of Stanley's parents ever finding out terrified him. He didn't even want to think of the outcome from that. "Do you guys wanna get out of here? It'll get your mind off it..." Stan suggested.
Riche didn't say anything but Eddie stood up and forced Richie to sit down. He grabbed his shoes and forced them on Richie. Richie tried to hide a smile but Stanley noticed.
"We can get ice cream?" Stanley suggested pulling money out of his pocket. Eddie also pulled out some money. "We can go to the theater too!"
They spent the rest of the day together before they all had to get home. They rode their bikes to Stan's house first. "Hey, Stan?" Richie called as he was walking towards his house. Stan turned around.
"Thanks for coming over and stuff... I needed that." Stanley smiled at Richie. "Anytime any day, Richie," Stanley said turning around and walking into his house.
Richie and Eddie rode in silence the whole way to Eddie's house. When they got there they had to go to Eddie's window. His mom locked the door at 8, and since their fight she started doing it even when Eddie wasn't home yet.
Eddie climbed into his house and Richie stood there outside the window. "Richie, you need to go home," Eddie whispered. Richie shook his head no. Eddie groaned.
He reached for Richie's face and pulled him into a kiss. "You'll be fine. I promise. And if you aren't I give you permission to... tickle me," Eddie said. Richie rolled his eyes. "Be prepared to be tickled then, Eds." Richie stepped back from the window.
"Give Mrs. K a kiss for me. I'm sure she misses me," Richie said winking at Eddie. He scowled and closed his window. Richie turned around and sighed. Better be prepared for the worst.
He stood on his own doorstep for a few minutes before walking in. He knew his mom was home, and so was his dad. Oh god, if his dad knew he'd probably kill him.
He decided he would walk in and run up the stairs as fast as he could. It was gonna be hard because he already started crying but he wanted to avoid his parents at all cost.
He took a deep breath and opened the door. He closed it and sprinted up the stairs. He made it to his room and before he closed the door his mom appeared in the doorway.
"Can I talk to you, hun?" She asked lightly. Richie gulped but nodded. She walked in his room and closed the door. "Why didn't you tell me?" Richie shrugged.
"You know I still love you, right? You're still my sweet little boy. Nothing can change that. Eddie is a good boy too. You picked wisely," Maggie said smiling.
Richie could feel the tears streaming down his face. "Don't cry Richard, it's okay." Maggie walked to him and hugged him. She held him for a while just letting him cry.
"Nothing could ever make me hate you. Never think I could ever disapprove of you." She let go of him. Richie rubbed his eyes.
"Did you tell...?" He started. She shook her head. "Him knowing isn't up to me. And I can't promise you he'll accept it either sweetie," She said with a sad look.
Richie nodded. He understood. He knew people's views on gay people. He learned it more the past year than he probably ever would. Derry is a terrible town to be gay in.
"I won't tell Eddie's mother either. That woman is crazy enough as it is. Now get some sleep," She said ruffling Richie's hair.
When she left the room he felt a huge load fall off his chest. He was terrified she would his mom of all people would hate him. He wouldn't be able to handle that.
He laid in bed and smiled. He fell asleep thinking of Eddie.
