"And why should I believe you?.." richie whispers.
"I know how we first met, is that enough?" eddie responds
" Then tell me, I don't believe you" Richie says in a shaky voice.
" Bill took me to the playground to meet you, and I found you in the sandbox literally fucking eating the sand" the mostly transparent boy says.
" And?" Richie says, growing more and more terrified by the minute.
" And I told you to stop eating the goddamn sand because kids have peed in there, and what does your dumbass say? You tell me that you were one of them, so I refused to go near you for another month"
" It is you.."
" Yeah that's what I've been trying to say"
Richie looks away. He couldn't bear to look at the boy on his bed anymore.
" I- I'm really sorry Eddie"
"What for?
" It's my fault, what happened"
" No it isn't, shut up"
".."
" You can look at me y'know, I'm not gonna bite you"
Richie still doesn't look back to Eddie, afraid of the strong possibility that the tears that he's been holding back will start falling.
"Are you okay rich?" Eddie asks gently. He sounded genuinely concerned.
"Yeah, I'm okay" Richie chokes out.
He gasps as he feels cold-ish arms wrap around him. Eddie was.. hugging him? Eddie could hug him???
"Oh shoot, oh fuck- what should I do??" Richie's mind was racing.
"Just hug back, idiot" Eddie's muffled voice says.
So Richie does, and surprisingly it was just like hugging the real Eddie, only, colder. It felt nice.
After a moment he could feel those burning tears running down his face again.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS? IVE CRIED WAY TOO FUCKING MUCH ALREADY. AGAIN??" He internally screams at himself.
" Are you crying rich?" Eddie asks.
Richie doesn't respond.
(I actually don't know if I should continue this, my writing skills are going rusty again and I've pretty much run out of ideas, can you guys please give me an idea or two? I'd really appreciate it)
