Stay with me

Richie Tozier

8h00 Pm

I just couldn't help myself.
It's like I was, no, like i'm crying every single tear of my body.
Sounds pretty weird huh?
I was expecting him to just, pat my back and talk to me, comfort me, or even just stare in disgust at this point.
But he...
He just took me in his frail arms.

"Its okay Richie...You're going to be okay..."

"Fuck...I look miserable don't I...?"

I tried to laugh it off.
But he just... wouldn't go away.

"Its okay Rich', everyone cries. I mean, you've seen me cry thousand times haven't you?"

"I guess I have."

And we stayed there.
He stayed there.
Holding me in his arms, doing his best to comfort me.

8h19 Pm

Eddie Kaspbrak

I have, actually, never seen him cry.
I can't help but feel... guilty.

"Hey, Richie?"

"Yeah...?" He sounds sleepy. He better not fall asleep on me.

"Was I... Am I the first person you told?"

Silence.
I almost though he wasn't going to answer, or that he even fell asleep.

"I mean.... Yeah. My parents don't even realize. So, yeah, you're the first person have told. What? Ya' want a medal Eds?"

"No! No, i'm just... Im just honored I guess. I though you and Stan told each other everything?"

"Yeah well... There's thing its better he does not know."

He's starting to close his eyes.
And I continues to play with his hair-
Wait i'm playing with his hair?
I didn't- how did I not realize?
Well! Whatever!

"Alright get up Trashmouth! I can't feel my legs and you're falling asleep on me!"

"...M'noooo~"

"Get up before I push you off."

"Asshole."

"Dipshit."

He finally got up.
My legs are free again.

"C'mon lets head to bed."

"At 8h22!?"

"Yes Richie, you're clearly tired."

"Fine, dad!"

Richie Tozier

Who goes to sleep at fucking 8h22?
The fuck.

I help him put away the comics.

"Please tell me you're going to change. "

"Since we are sharing a bed, fine sir Edward."

"For that last time, do not call me that Richard."

"Sorry can't hear you from the other side of the door."

We're just sharing a bed. Just like best friends.
Theres is absolutly nothing wrong with that.
Except one,
little,
detail.
...
I can't sleep with the bandages on.
I already wear them too much as it is, I can't wear them while i'm sleeping...
Okay. Pull yourself together Richie.
Its just Eddie.

8h35

I get out of the bathroom, wearing an oversized tee with grey joggins.

"You're finally out, i though you had an heart attack or something."

"Yeah sorry Eds, but don't worry your pretty lil' head for me, i'm as fine as can be!"

"Judging by the fact you were crying in my arms about 35 minutes ago, you are not fine."

"You took me by surprise! "

"Yeah whatever just come sleep."

"If ya wanted me in your bed you could've asked!"

"Richie- No!"

"I'm just joking!"

I raise my hands in a 'i mean no harm' gssture and he rolls
his eyes at me.
As soon as I laid next to him the whole room was quiet.
And of course pretty fucking dark.
Im already blind as fuck, darkness doesn't fucking help.
As I was saying- It was pretty fucking quiet, and peaceful, untill i don't know why Mr.'Apparently i'm brave now' Kaspbrak wrapped his arms around me.

"I'm happy you trust me enough to tell me this sort of things Richie."

"Yeah... I mean, we're best friends. Aren't we."
