*All the Losers where upstairs in Richies room watching a movie*
Gasps and shutters filled the air as Night Mare on Elm street played on Richies 13 inch TV.
Beverly was snuggled close up to Ben on Richies bean bag. Mike, Bill, and Stanley were all on the floor snuggled up to each other (more like bill and Stanley snuggling and Mike was sitting near them) and Richie was sitting at the foot of his bed just to make sure he didn't make Eddie feel uncomfortable, even though all he wanted to do was Scoot up next to him and hold him and never let go. He couldn't. Not in front of the other losers, but the thought never left Richies mind.
Eddies POV
Why is Richie sitting at the edge of the bed? Why wasn't he here with me? Why couldn't we be cuddling each other? Was it because what happened in the closet earlier? Did I make him uncomfortable?Wait what am I saying Richie Tozier was never uncomfortable he was The Who made all of us uncomfortable.
End of Eddies POV
As those thoughts flooded Eddies mind, Richies body was tired from sitting up for such a long time.
"Hey Eddie spaghetti" Richie whispered yelled towards Eddie
but instead of saying "stop calling me that" Eddie had grown fond of the name and didn't say that.
"What Chee?" He replied assuringly knowing Richie wasn't uncomfortable.
"Can I lay next to you my back hurts?" He said slightly blushing
"Of course Chee" Eddie replied happily.
"Will you guys be quite?" Stanley said towards Eddie and Richie in a annoyed voice.
"before you start saying something STANLEY you and Bill have been whispering to each other nonstop about how cute both of you are, (Richies voice grew louder) you don't hear me whispering to Eddie about how cute he is do you?"
*the room grew silent all you could hear was the movie playing in the background*
All the losers looked up at Richie who had some how in all that talking moved up close to Eddie and they were now holding hands.
'Holy shit' Richie thought to himself 'did I say that out loud?' 'Wait a even bigger shit, I'm holding Eddie Kaspbraks hand..' Richies face turned a bright red, to then which Beverly commented.
"Oh. My. Gosh. That's why you've been acting so weird!"
"What?" Richie said in reply completely and utterly embarrassed but still holding tightly to Eddies warm hand.
"You like Eddie!" Beverly shouted in a teasing yet still shocked tone.
The room feel silent once again
"N-no I don't" Richie couldn't believe Beverly called him out.
"L-leave him a-a-lone guys" Bill said remembering how scary it was when he told the losers Stanley and him were dating.
Eddie sat in silence. Blushing very intensely but still silently, and Richie hated that.
"Shut up Bev n-no I don't" tears filled in Richies eyes scared half to death in fear of losing his best friend, not only his best friend but the boy he had been in love with since last year.
"Sorry Rich! But it's true you like Eddie" Beverly said in a teasing tone.
"You like Eddie, you like Eddie , you like Eddie-" Beverly was cut off to Richie getting up running to the bathroom but still not letting go of Eddies hand.
Eddies POV
"Beverly shut up-" I was cut off as Richie stood up still holding on to my hand, why was Richie so worked up about, was it because.. it was true? Richie.Fucking.Tozier. Likes me?
End of Eddies POV
Richie runs to the bathroom still holding onto Eddie, Richie walks in Eddie behind him and almost breaks the door on how hard he shut it.
Richie starts uncontrollably sobbing while sliding down the door after locking it
(or so he thought he locked it)
right there in front of Eddie. Eddie hated the fact that the boy he was in love with was crying on the bathroom floor right in front of him.
"Chee?" Eddie said in a upsetting and worried tone.
"Talk to me Chee."
Richies POV
"Talk to me Chee."
I wanted to so badly tell him I was in love with him right then and there, but my body is so tired I can barely make out any words, but what I did mange to make out is not what I wanted to say.
"I'm fine Ed's."
I wasn't "fine" I was uncontrollably sobbing in-front of the boy I was in love with.
End of Richies POV
"Chee... talk to me" Eddie said crouching down on the ground and eventually sitting down on the floor
With his legs crisscrossed. Normally Eddie and bathroom floor wouldn't even be in the same sentence, but Eddie didn't care, all he cared about in that moment was Richie Fucking Tozier.
Richie looks up with his eyes all puffy and red, "Eddie spaghetti..it's true." Richie said with fear in his voice but he couldn't keep it in anymore that he was in love with his best friend. Eddie Kaspbrak.
"What's true?" Eddie said but deep down he knew.
"I-I..like you Eddie, no not like you I love you Eddie spaghetti, I have since the very moment you were transferred into my English class because you couldn't spell placebos right no matter how hard you study nothing helped you remember. Ya and sure we knew each other before that we were best friends but I-" Richie gets cut off by Eddie pulling him closer towards him as he scoots against the bathroom wall he drags Richie along with him and Eddie kissed Richie Fucking Tozier. Not because of a game, not because of a dare, because he too, was in love with His best friend.
"Do you ever shut up Chee?" Eddie said with tears slowly falling from his eyes to his cheeks because he couldn't believe Richie felt the same way towards him. It was always in the back of his mind but he never thought to deeply of it in case of getting his hopes up.
"I love you to Chee and so much more." Eddie said knowing nothing else mattered in that world right now but Richie.
