*They arrive at the quarry after leaving Richies house. Dropping there bikes onto the dirt and walking towards the edge of the cliff above the water.*

Richie slides off his pants while Eddie is starring at him in the corner of his eye.
'Oh.my.god.' Eddie thought to himself " this is gonna be harder then I thought" he said in a whisper tone but some how Richie still herd what he had said.
"What was that Eddie spaghetti?" Richie said. Even though Richie had known exactly what Eddie said but he wanted to hear it again, in fact he wanted Eddie to never stop talking he loved his voice his face, everything about him. He loved him.

"N-nothing, also stop calling me that Chee" Eddie said with worry in his voice because he almost blew it
"What ever you say Ed's" Richie replied with a sweeter tone this time.

Richies POV

'There it is. That nickname again... it makes me get goosebumps every time he says Chee. Why though? It didn't make sense it's just a word but was it because I liked him so much or maybe.. no there's no way, is it possible that Eddie liked me-"

My thought gets cut off after I saw  Eddie sliding off his pants and shirt.. 'oh my god' I thought to myself
'his body is more perfect then I imagined' ' I mean I have seen his body before from previous trips to the quarry but all the losers where there so I didn't stare because I didn't wanna be called gay or be made fun of, but his body is .. so.. sexy? No it's so.. perfect. Everything about Eddie Kaspbrak was perfect (and maybe a little sexy).The way the sun hit his freckled face made me blush. 'stop starring before you get caught Richie' I thought to myself.

End of Richies POV

Richie slides off his shirt, squinting his eyes to the harsh summer sun burning down on them he looked over to Eddie starring at him the same way Richie was before. "Take a picture it will last longer" Richie said with a joking tone.
Eddie started to blush "shut up Chee, don't think I didn't see you starring at me earlier" Eddie replied with a mischievous voice.  Now Richie was blushing.

"Ready Eddie spaghetti?"

"I would be if you stoped calling me that"
Eddie replied, even though he loved when Richie called him that.

"Ok ready?"
Eddie nodded
"3...2...1-" Richie gets caught off  as Eddie yells "ONE!"
Grabbing Richies hand they both jump off into the water. Richie rises to the surface first still gripping Eddies hand. Eddie rises shortly after Richie with a big smile on his face
"That was so fun!" Eddie said giggling uncontrollably
"I know right, why don't we come here alone more often.." Richie voice trails off because he knows exactly why they can't go there alone more often, At some point Richie might not be able to control himself and say something or do something  that could risk there friend ship.

Eddies POV

"ONE!"
I grab Richies hand hoping he wouldn't pull it away and we both jumped down into the water. After I rose  out of the water I squinted my eyes still holding Richies Hand tightly 'why are his hands so.. soft...I loved it' I kept holding on not wanting this moment to end.

End of Eddies POV

Richie and Eddie began swimming to a more shallow part of the quarry still not letting go of each other's hand.

"Hey Chee.." Eddie said in a bashful tone
"What's up Eddie spaghetti" he said smiling because there it was again that nickname.. Chee.
"Not to be weird or anything..(he said not wanting Richie to be weirded out because of  what he was about to say) but how come your hands are so..soft?"
Richie starts giggling to himself "why would that be weird Eddie spaghetti?" Richie said trying to calm himself from the previous question. " I'm not sure just maybe because we've never held hands before..?" Eddie said questioningly. "Oh uhm..(Richie gets nervous and the only thing he can think to say of was of course a dirty joke about Eddies mom Mrs.K ) "because Mrs.K makes me moisturize every time we shower together."

"Eww dude seriously? That's so gross" Eddie replied while pretending to hold back vomit with his one free hand, "oh ya if it's so gross then why are you still holding my soft hand Eddie spaghetti?"
They both start blushing and it goes silent

"Fine I won't hold your hand then" Eddie says breaking the silence. "No Ed's please I was just joking" he said in a some what normal tone. Eddie looked at Richie and Richie looked at Eddie "s-so.. you want me to keep holding .. your hand?" Eddie says with his face a whole new shade of pink....not even pink.
Dark.Red.

Richie nervously fumbles with his hands, "w-what.. that's not what i said." Richie says tripping his way though his words trying to make it sound like he didn't care. "Oh ok" Eddie said sounding sad.
"Wanna play Marco Polo?" Richie said breaking the awkward silence between them, "ya.. ya sure" Eddie said trying to sound happy ignoring Richies previous comment.

*1 hour passes by, and the two awkward yet bashful boys walk back up to the cliff putting there cloths back on and start to head back to Richies house.*

"So, ( Richie says while setting his towel down and falling back on to his bed) you wanna.."  Richie trails off yet again "wanna what?" Eddie said cheerfully, "wanna spend another night?" Richie sits up looking at the damp brunette curly haired boy in-front of him. "I thought you'd never ask" Eddie says plopping down besides Richie and grabbing two comic books out of Richies drawer and handing one to Richie and they both laid back reading there stupid but silly comic books.
