Richie wakes up first, filled with warmth from Eddie's heated body that has crawled further on top of him while they were sleeping. Wow, he's so amazing. Eddie's eyes slowly open and he looks up at Richie, smiling with the thought of them together.
"Feeling better, Eds?"
"Yeah, a bit. Still a little groggy, though." He reaches up and kisses Richie, pulling his head closer with one hand.
"Eddie?" He nods. "Do you want to like, go on a date tonight? Maybe we could go to a nice dinner or something, I've been saving some money up?" Richie asks, his face alive with hope. He watches as Eddie's eyes light up.
"Really? That sounds perfect!" He replies, smiling and hopelessly in love. "But, before we go, we should probably go figure stuff out with Bill and everyone." Eddie looks down, almost guiltily. He twiddles his thumbs nervously, dreadful of what's to come.
"He hates us doesn't he." Eddie says, reliving the nightmare from earlier. Richie scoops his head up, pulling him up by the tip of his chin. The smaller boy still can't bring himself to stare into his lover's eyes.
"Hey, hey,look at me" Richie coos gently, his eyes melting into Eddie's when they finally meet. He brings his lips down to Eddie's, placing a soft comforting kiss on them. "He doesn't hate us. He hates us not telling him. Which technically isn't our fault since we literally only confessed our feelings to each other five minutes before Bill had the audacity to barge in on us." Eddie chuckles slightly, remorse still present in his voice. "We've just got to go to him, Eds."
"Don't call me that." Eddie mumbles back, a little lightness returning to his tone. He flickers his eyes back down to the floor.
"He'll understand once we tell him. He just thinks we're keeping secrets from him, which we aren't since he didn't even give us a chance to try to hide it from him and then give up one day later because I can't resist kissing your cute little face all the time now that I know you're mine and-"
"Do you have a point?" Eddie says, laughing to hide the crimson red palette that has consumed his face.
"Yeah I do thanks for asking, I was getting there. You fucking interrupted me"
"You're too much of a hopeless romantic so I had to shut you up, my apologies your highness."
"You know there's other ways to shut me up." Richie moves closers towards Eddie.
"Oh yeah?" Eds mumbles before meeting his lips to Richie's. His hand travels through his dark curls as he attempts to pull himself up, but Richie's push is stronger, sending Eddie down onto the bed. Richie's practically laying on top of Eddie, their lips colliding with massive smiles on both boys' faces. Eddie pulls apart, hands still grasping Richie's face. "Let's go do it."
"Are you sure?" Richie asks, still on top of the smaller boy. Eddie nods, biting his bottom lip. Richie can't resist, leaning down and planting one last log kiss on Eddie's lips. He pulls away dramatically, both boys visibly flushed. "Let's go."
