【Ｍｅｓｓａｇｅｓ ＡＵ】- Reddie

11 - together?

No smut - the furthest thing I'll write is making out 😊❤

Richie had told Eddie to come over so he did, Richie probably thought the shorter boy was just joking and wasn't actually showing up but to his surprise, Eddie came. 

Richie was smoking out the window when he saw Eddie's bike appear from behind the opposite building, he smiled dropping his cigarette and rushed downstairs to greet the boy. 
He opened the door, jumping into's Eddie's arms happily, the younger boy nearly toppled over and started angrily telling Richie off because he could've injured himself.  

"Come in Ed's" Richie jokingly bowed, letting Eddie in 

"Don't call me Eds". 

Richie rolled his eyes, going up to his bedroom, and shoving his clothes and random shit into his closet, muttering to himself. 
Eddie sat down, watching Richie curiously. He wondered if Richie would bring up the kiss, did he hate Eddie? Was he angry? I mean Richie had brought it up on the group chat and they both changed the subject when people started questioning it.  

"Eds I wanted to ask you something..." 

Richie snapped Eddie out of his thoughts, he turned to look at the curly-haired boy. nodding to signify Richie had permission to ask. He hoped it wasn't about the kiss, he didn't wanna talk about it. It seemed right at the time, but Eddie still didn't understand his feelings. 

"Are you... gay?" Richie asked as Eddie looked up blushing lightly. 

Eddie thought to himself, I mean maybe he felt something towards Richie. It was more than friendship, maybe love? Could boys love each other? could Richie and he love each other? Maybe it was just Richie's curiosity, it probably wasn't even about him. 

"I mean I kinda like this boy now, but I don't really have a label". 

Technically it wasn't a lie, Eddie didn't have a label and he DID like a boy right now. He just chose not to mention the fact it was the tall boy standing right Infront of him that had constant butterflies fluttering around Eddie's stomach and his cheeks flushing pink every second he looked at him. 

Richie looked down at him, he sat beside Eddie looking into his eyes. Eddie felt it again, that feeling. Like he wanted to do more than just be friends with Richie, but he couldn't get the guts out to tell him. But his lips... his lips looked so good, he couldn't help glancing at them and oh boy Richie noticed. 
Richie saw Eddie staring and licked his bottom lip slowly, glancing at Eddie's eyes then down to his lips just as Eddie was doing to Richie. Richie snapped, he couldn't do this anymore, he had to taste Eddie's lips again. 

Suddenly Richie leaned forward, cupping Eddie's face and sealing the gap between their lips. Eddie felt his face heat up as Richie's lips touched his, he smiled kissing back, leaning into Richie's touche, putting a hand on his chest to steady himself. 
Eddie's heart was beating fast again, it happened last time Richie kissed him and he didn't know what it was, all he knew is that he loved Richie more than a friend should, but he was ok with it and for once he was happier with Richie than anyone else could ever make him. 
The two continued to kiss for what seemed like hours, Richie ran his hands through Eddie's hair trying to make sure Eddie was comfortable considering the fact Eddie was extremely germ-phobic and probably didn't want Richie to kiss with tongue just yet.  

"Eds Can I... um, use my tongue?" Richie asked, pulling away from Eddie leaving both of them heavily breathing. Eddie looked up, listening to Richie and thought for a moment. 

"Can you brush your teeth first?" Eddie asked, trying to hide his gaze. He knew Richie would say no and probably think doing it was stupid and that Eddie was a weird creep. But instead, Richie nodded and ran into his bathroom, quickly brushing his teeth and coming back out sitting on his bed. 

"Anything for you Eddie my spaghetti". 

Richie winked, as Eddie pulled Richie in kissing him again. Richie slipped his tongue in as Eddie gasped. He smiled, knowing that Richie would do anything to make him happy. 
Richie brushed his teeth just so he could deepen their kiss, it wasn't a big gesture but he knew deep down Richie would make Eddie happy and wouldn't hurt him, just like Eddie wouldn't hurt Richie either. 

The two fit together like jigsaw puzzles, it was passionate and slow. Both practically hugging each other and tried to be as gentle as possible until they were interrupted by an angry shout coming from the doorway. 

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?" 

It was Wentworth, Richie's dad. He had opened the door to see Richie and Eddie kissing and started shouting. 
The two boys separated as Eddie's eyes widened and Richie stood up, trying to protect Eddie. 
He tried to get Eddie out the window but he refused to jump. 

"I- it's nothing dad! I'm sorry!" 

Richie tried to plead but his dad struck Richie across the face, leaving a red mark on Richie's cheek. 

"I did not raise a fucking faggot in my household!"  

Eddie was sobbing, seeing Richie get hurt made him cry. He tried to help Richie, he crawled beside him holding Richie's face but Richie was trying to push Eddie away, he didn't want Wentworth hurting Eddie too.  

"Get out my house you horrible boy!" Wentworth screamed, grabbing Eddie by the wrist as Richie screamed and shouted for him to let go.  

"Please, don't hurt him!" Richie cried, trying to get his dad's grip off of Eddie as Eddie thrashed about in Wentworth's grip, reaching for Richie. 
Wentworth, threw Eddie out the door as Richie ran out, holding Eddie in his arms. Eddie and Richie were both in tears, Richie's face still red from being struck and Wentworth slammed the door shut, cussing at Richie leaving the two boys sitting on Richie's patio.  

"I- I'm so sorry R- Richie". Eddie cried, through sobs 

"Hey, it's fine Eds. god you sound like Bill",  Richie tried to reassure him but he knew he was in trouble, Richie was definitely not going to be welcomed back into his house and Eddie's mum hated him since apparently, she heard he was gay.  

"This is all my fault, I shouldn't have come over! I shouldn't have kissed you!" 

"Hey don't say that Eds! It's not your fault, I kissed you... I fell in love with you and it's all my fault I wasn't paying attention to my dad coming home".  Richie shouted, not realising what he said. 

"y- you love me?"  

Richie, kisses Eddie's forehead, "I love you more than anything Eds, All I want is to kiss you all over. Ever since I first met you I fell, I wanted to get lose in your eyes and count every one of your adorable little freckles!" 

Eddie, hugged Richie tight. "I love you too trashmouth".  

Richie, smiled whispering "Wanna be my boyfriend Eds?"  

Eddie had a big smile on his face and nodded, pecking richie's lips, 

"More than anything!". 

The boys sat cuddled into each other on the pateo, holding each other close in the cold. They didn't care, they where together and that's all that mattered. 

"Richie? Eddie?" 

A voice came from behind them, It was Stan. He and bill were talking up the road and had spotted the two boys outside Richie's house. 

"W- what are y- y- you two d- doing?" Bill asked, as Eddie and Richie untangled from each others grip and looked at the pair who had their fingers entwined and their warm jackets on. 

"My dad kicked me out after he..." Richie stopped, looking at Eddie who game him a reassuring smile. 

"After he what?"  

"After he saw me and Eddie kissing...." Richie admitted, holding Eddie's hand. 

"Oh my god that thats' awful, you can stay at mine Rich. My parents love you". Stan said, then realised, looking at Eddie and Richie's hands. 

"Wait, are you two together now?" He smirked 

"yea". Eddie smiled, leaning onto Richie's side as Stan helped them both up. 

"E- E- Eddie you sh - sh- should be getting h- h- home". Bill added, as Stan gave richie a pat on the back. 

"Yea, I'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye Chee!"  Eddie Waved, getting onto his bike and cyled off 

"Bye Eddie-bear!" Richie called back and blushed at Stan and Bill's smirk. 

"I knew you two would get together Rich", Stan said as Richie chuckled. 

"I think everyone apart from me and Eddie knew..." 

"t- t- true".  

"Well Billy, I need to get this idiot home. I'll see you at school". 

Stan and Bill said goodbye, kissing each other as Stan dragged Richie down the cold street, letting him stay at his house. Where his mum greeted him with open arms, giving Richie spair clothes and food to warm him up. 

Richie thanked Mrs Uris, and he slept on Stan's couch, excited to see Eddie at school the next day.
