"Hey....Richie?" Eddie said nudging the snoring boy next to him.
"Mhmm....ya,Ed's what's up?" Richie said sitting up, and turning off his alarm.
"Oh that's how you turn it off I couldn't figure it out." Eddie said smiling and leaning close to Richie kissing him softly. "But Good morning Chee."
"Good morning Eddie spaghetti." Richie said blushing.

"So uhm I was thinking about it..I do want you to come...but." Eddie trails off.
"But what Ed's?" Richie said looking at Eddie blurred eyed.
"But can you wait outside? I wanna talk to my mom...alone...Just so we can talk things out I don't want her to be worried about me, even though she's the one kicking me out I wanna her to know, I still love her."
"Of course Eddie spaghetti." Richie said ruffling Eddies hair a tad.
"Thanks Chee your the best." Eddie said planting a kiss on Richie cheek.

"My my glasses." Richie said in a worry.
"What?" Eddie replied confused.
"Where are they? They must've fallen off when we fell asleep last night I-I can't find them." Richie said in a panic standing up.
"Chee it's ok I'll help you find them you check on the floor I'll check the bed." Eddie said while standing up as-well, and began looking.

"Fou-" Richie had found them but he got cut off when he saw Eddie in his under wear, wearing his tee shirt.
"What'd you said Chee?" Eddie said turning around to see Richie starring at him, with his glasses on blushing.
"I-I found them." Richie replied blushing.
"You like the view?" Eddie said teasing Richie while also blushing.
"Ha.Ha, Jokes on you, you don't get to see how cute your face gets when you blush." Richie replied smiling bigger then he's ever smiled. Richie then jumped on Eddie making the two fall back on the bed giggling and laughing at each other's jokes they made while slipping kisses in every once in a while.

"Boys! Breakfast!" Richies mom yelled.
"Coming! Better get used to hearing that." Richie said looking at Eddie happily.
"Pip pip! Come on let's get ready for the day! And go eat break fest then..." Richie trailed off, he had forgot about having to go to Sonias later.It made Richie so mad that Sonia kicked out the most perfect boy in the world to him.
"It's okay Chee, I'm fine let's go."Eddie said grabbing Richies hand slightly blushing at Richies warm touch.

*the two boys had gotten ready and began eating breakfast downstairs.*

"So...mom, what'd dad say when you told them Eddies moving in?" Richie said while putting his empty cereal bowl in the sink, and sitting back down waiting for Eddie to finish.
"Honey, can we talk...later about your dad?" Richies mom said with tears in her eyes.
"Ya, ya...mom are you okay?" Richie said with worry in his voice.
"Yes, sweetie I'm fine. Just go get ready to get Eddies stuff I'm driving you boys there at 2:00." Richies mom replied while grabbing Richies bowl and had begun washing it.
"Ok. Um come on Eddie let's go upstairs and put on are shoes." Richie said while looking at Eddie with seriousness.
"But I'm not done-" Eddie gets cut off as he saw Richies stare indicating somethings wrong.
"Never mind I'm done, thank you Mrs.Tozier." Eddie said putting his half full bowl in the sink.
"Your not hungry?" Richies mom said looking at his bowl.
"My...my stomach is hurting but it was good thank you." Eddie said turning to Richie.

The two boys ran up stairs while Richies mom shouted at them to stop running in the house.

Richie and Eddie scrambled into Richies room shutting the door behind them.
"What? What's wrong why'd you give me that look down stairs? I was very hungry you kno-" Eddie gets cut off by Richie pushing his finger up to his lips signaling to be quite.
"Shhh. I don't think my dads here." Richie said pulling his finger away from Eddies chapped lips.
"Then why do we have to be quite?" Eddie said confused.
"No that's the point." Richie said while grabbing A cup and putting up against the wall to see if he could hear snoring in his parents bedroom.
"Wait, I'm confused?" Eddie said in a questioning tone.
"It's Saturday." Richie said putting the cup down after hearing silence from his parents room.
"And??" Eddie said even more confused.
"My dad is always home on Saturday especially in the mornings. His favorite TV show is on he would never miss that." Richie said sitting on his desk chair.
"Ok...maybe he went out?" Eddie said sitting at the edge of Richies bed facing Richie.

"No. Don't you get it? My dads gone. He left. That's why my mom didn't wanna talk in the kitchen." Richie said to Eddie in a upset tone.
"Chee, I'm sure he just went to the store or something, you guys have like no food in your fridge." Eddie said trying to comfort Richie.
"Ya he pulled the old, I'm going to the store to get milk I'll be right back trick." Richie said opening his door creeping towards his parents bedroom.
"What the fuck does that mean?" Eddie said in a whisper tone.
"Shh just give me a sec." Richie said sneaking into his parents bedroom quietly.

Eddie followed and walked in shutting the door just so there's a crack open.

"What are you doing?" Eddie said looking over at Richie who was digging through there closet.
"My dads jackets are gone." Richie said while walking over to his parents dresser.
"His pants and shirts are to." Richie said shutting the drawers slowly to not make any noise. He looked up at Eddie who had a white expression in his face.

Richie and Eddie walked back quietly to Richies room, both in shock.

"My dad. My dad left." Richie said with a mad tone.
"He left my mom and I to rot. He just left us for no reason, he left taking are emergency money, which is also are only money!" Richie said with his voice rising and beginning to hyperventilate.
"Richie! Chee, calm down it's ok. It's ok it's gonna be fine." Eddie said grabbing Richie and pulling him into a hug.
"No! No it's not gonna be fine he just left us. My mom. Me." Richie said with tears of angriness rolling down his cheeks sobbing into Eddies shoulder.
"Breathe, Chee... look at me." Eddie said pulling away from Richie with his hands resting in his shoulder.
"Your the strongest, bravest, most beautiful boy in Derry. You are not gonna let your dad ruin your day. He always gave you grief anyways. Your perfect and just know I'm never gonna leave you. Ever, okay?" Eddie said grabbing Richies soft quivering chin.
"I-I." Richie said pulling Eddie into a hug again.
"It's okay you don't have to talk Chee. Let's just be here okay? Wanna sit on your bed and talk about it?" Eddie said grabbing Richies hand.
"No, remember we have to get your stuff?" Richie said wiping his eyes.
"Oh ya, that." Eddie said tiredly.
"That's later though... wanna make out?" Richie said giggling taking all the bad thoughts off of Eddies mind.
"Duhhhh." Eddie said straddling Richie and them falling back pulling each other into a passionate kiss.
