The Plan| Reddie

Sounds like a plan

Quinn sighs as she enters the lobby of the hotel the next morning, glad they all had the day off school. They'd stayed up super late and she was exhausted. She was planning on having a nap as soon as she entered her hotel room. She smiles at the receptionists and heads to the elevator, yawning slightly. She waits until she gets to the right floor. The 5th floor. The door opens and Quinn grabs her duffel bag, heading down the hall to room 27. She swipes her card and walks in.

It's silent but she can hear her dad snoring. Which she found weird at it was almost midday and Eddie usually woke up at around 8am if he didn't have work. She places down her bag and heads off to his room, popping her head around the door. Her eyes go wide as she spots her dad fast asleep on his stomach, her drama teacher beside him. Richie's face is pressed into Eddie's back and he has an arm draped around Eddie's waist. Quinn's thankful they have the duvet over them as their clothes are strewn messily over floor. They're both covered in hickeys, Richie's back a little bit scratched.

Quinn just turns on her heels and grabs her phone and key card, heading out of her hotel room. She wasn't going to confront them. The last time her and River did, they went weird. But was she going to tell River? Of course she was. As she gets back in the elevator, she shoots River a text saying she was coming over.

Richie groans as little as he wakes up. He runs his eyes and then feathers light kisses across Eddie's back, waking the smaller man up with a grin. Eddie turns onto his back and looks up at Richie, who's grinning. The two share a short kiss and then Eddie plays with Richie's hair.

"Mornin'" Richie whispers.

"It's the afternoon." Eddie whispers back with a smile as Richie draws shapes across his stomach." I missed that...you were...holy shit I've never seen you like that."

"Surprise." Richie chuckles and Eddie giggles a little." That was the second best birthday present ever."

"There was a lot of Billy Joel on that playlist yesterday." Eddie states and Richie smiles." Why was that?"

"I raised Cece on his music. It's like our thing." He explains and Eddie smiles." Do you and Quinn have anything like that?"

"Elton John. We're obsessed. I took her to see him in concert when she was a kid. She loved it." Eddie tells with a small smile.

"I wish I could afford something like that for River. To see Billy Joel live would be...everything to both of us. Billy Joel for us is like The Kinks for my dad and I." Richie says and Eddie smiles.

"Wish I'd known my dad and have something to share like that with him. All I know is that I was named after his favourite song." Eddie says as he continues to play with Richie's hair.

"What song?"

"Eddie my love by the chordettes." Eddie replies and Richie smiles once more.

"Eddie my love. I love you so!" He begins to sing in a low voice. Eddie chuckles and then kisses him deeply." Let's go clean up."

Eddie nods and goes to get out of bed, but he winces in pain and sits straight back down. Richie looks at him as he slides on his boxers. Eddie mumbles something in pain.

"Are you alright?" Richie asks. Eddie looks up at him and nods, trying to stand up again. But he winces once more.

"I'm not use to that. I...I'm a little sore." Eddie admits. Richie chuckles lightly.

"Okay, stay there. I'll run you a bath." He states and Eddie nods, staying put as instructed.

Richie heads into the bathroom and runs the bath for Eddie, putting in a bath bomb and some bath bubbles. He smiles and then goes out and helps Eddie to the bath, helping him in. Eddie sighs as he sits in the warm water, instantly relaxing. Richie grins.
