RICHIE'S P.O.V
I watch him as he pulls himself closer, "everyone around me said it's wrong for somebody to love a person with the same sex, but when I...when I kissed you it didn't feel wrong. It just made my hear do a flip. And my stomach it , I felt something I don't think I've felt before." He says smiling a bit. "I like to call them lovebug's even tho they're actually called butterflies." I say. "Lovebugs are....something!" He says nervously. "Well either way my whole life my mother has been telling me how I'm going to fall in love one day, have a wife and kids. But the problem is I don't want a wife. I've never felt attraction towards women, I mean sure I've had celebrity crush ses but I mean let's be rational, they just don't attract me. My whole life I've felt like a sick dirty boy because I was different then other's, my illnesses and Asthma didn't make it any easier. I was the wheezing kid in kidengarden." He was cut off by me adding something. "I know-" i say softly wich made me look at me instantly. "I was always there, I just couldn't face those boys, fuck I admit it I can be a pussy sometimes." I admit. "well you did try to fight a lot of kids in second grade so, I wouldn't say so." He chuckles. "In all honesty I did that so I had an excuse to spend more time with you-" I say as Eddie starts. "But you're my best friend you don't need to-" he chuckles. "Alone." I finish as I take his hand and caress it gently. "You know I've always wanted to have a heart to heart moment with you, would you count this as one?" I ask smiling still holding his hand. "You're so corny it's pathetic, of course I would." He chuckles as he lays down and hold my hand back. "As much as I'd like to stay like this forever it is 03:30AM we need sleep." He says checking the time on his watch. "The clubhouse is always in the dark we can sleep whenever, without knowing if it's day or night." I smile, "sleep." He says as he pulled the blanker over us and moved even closer to me. "Good night Ed's I say as I get comfortable. "Good night Rich."
