After a while, they lay down on Richie's bed as they look at the roof.
"Hey, Eddie...."
"What's up, Richie?"
"Do you think I will be stuck like this forever?"
"What no why do you think that."
"Because look at me. I have fucking wings Eds..."
"We will figure something out I promise.."
"No, we won't..."
"Richie! Yes, we will!" He looks over at Richie with a serious look and sees that he has tears in his eyes. "Richie? Are you crying?"
"What no!" Richie wipes his tears.
"Richie I'm not blind like you I can see you crying."
"I'm not."
"Fine just be a liar." Eddie looks back at the roof. Richie looks over at Eddie. He feels more tears running down his face. Richie looks away and rolls over using his wing as a blanket to cover his face. He curls into a ball. Silent tears run down his face as he tries to hide them. Suddenly Richie feels an arm wrap around him. "It's going to be ok Richie.." Eddie says softly in Richie's ear. He feels a shiver go up his spine with how close Eddie is. "Thank you...." Richie puts his wing down and it just covers his chest and stomach. "Are you ok Richie?" Eddie said as he was holding him close. Richie shook his head no. "Wanna talk about it?" He shook his head no again to Eddie's question. "Ok, I won't push you," Eddie says as he snuggles into Richie. Richie blushes quite a lot. Eddie doesn't see how much Richie was blushing because if he did he would get embarrassed and stop.
"Eddie... how aren't you scared of me right now?"
"I'm just worried for you right now.. it masks the fear," Eddie said trying to calm Richie. Richie puts his hand on top of Eddie's. Eddie's heart flutters.
(Ok what the fuck. Why do I feel this way every time he does this? What the hell is going on with me...) Eddie thought.
Eddies watch starts to beep.
"Dang it," Eddie says and sits up and opens his Fanny pack. Richie feels a bit disappointed that he has stopped hugging him. Richie sits up too and sees Eddie talking out a small container of pills. "Oh my god, you still taking those?" Richie said a little bit pissed.
"Those don't do anything Eds you know that!"
"I know..."
Richie snatches it out of Eddie's hands. "What are you doing!" Eddie raises his voice slightly. "Getting these away from you! You fucking idiot." Richie said then got up and threw them out the window. "RICHIE!" He got up and quickly looked out the window and his stomach pressed against the window still.
"What the fuck Richie!"
"Those don't do anything for you!"
"I know that but I still need them!"
"No you fucking don't!" Richie screams.
Eddie begins to walk to the door of his room. "I'm still gonna get those back."
"Eds no please don't go I'm sorry... I just didn't want you to get sick from taking medication that does nothing for you.." Richie seems very worried for Eddie. Eddie sighs. "It's ok." He walks back to Richie's bed and sits on it. "I am just trying to look out for you that's at all."
"I know Richie." He said in an annoyed tone but he is grateful for that. He wants to thank him but he's too stubborn to say it. Richie sits back down on the bed beside Eddie with his legs dangling off the edge. "You should probably get going.. don't want your mom to get mad and all," Richie says. "Oh.. you want me to go?" Eddie said a bit disappointed that he had to leave so soon. "No, not really." He said not even looking Eddie in the eyes. "I could stay if you want me to. I've been gone for like 4 hours now. Doesn't hurt for a little longer right?"
Richie chuckles at Eddie's words. "true." Richie says with a little smile. "Yeah. I'd like that." His smile gets a bit wider.

Later that night Richie and Eddie decided to put on a movie.

"So what tapes do you have?" Eddie asks. "I don't know let me check." Richie sat down in front of the TV and opened a drawer underneath it. "So I got Ghostbusters, Childs Play, and Gremlins."
"You look like a gremlin."
"Shut up and pick one."
"Hmm," Eddie thinks for a bit "I guess gremlins, because it reminds me of you." He gives a cheeky grin. "Ok fine you dick head," Richie says then opens the case and puts it in the player. Richie stood up and grabbed Eddie's hand guiding him to the couch. Once they sat down Richie still didn't let go of Eddie's hand. (Why does he keep doing this? It keeps making me feel weird) Eddie thought as his heart raced. Richie sees Eddie blush a tiny bit and wants to tease him. "Oh, you alight Eds?" Richie says as he squeezes Eddie's hand tighter. Eddie's heart flutters more. "I'm fine." He said sternly. "You sure? Your a bit red" Richie chuckles. "I'm fine Richie." He said a bit more in an annoyed tone. "You sure about that?" Richie puts his thumb on Eddie's chin and makes him look him in the eyes. Eddie blushes vigorously. He pushes Richie off of him. "Get off of me you fuck wad!"
(Oh what the fuck. What the fuck. Why is my heart beating so fast? I've only felt like this when- oh shit...) Eddie thought
(Awe he's so cute when he's like this..) Richie thought
"Watch the goddamn movie you put on" Eddie spoke in an embarrassed voice. "Ok, ok," Richie said with a big smirk. Richie looks back at them but still is holding Eddie's hand. Eddie looks over at Richie.
(Oh my god he's such a dork... but I think I like this dork..) Eddie thought.
Eddie keeps sneaking peaks at Richie throughout the whole movie. Richie sees him looking now and then and it makes his heart race every time he does. Richie wraps his wing around Eddie. Eddie flinches at the sudden unexpected touch. "Oh jeez-" Eddie said then leaned into Richie and laid his head on his shoulder. Richie blushes slightly. Eddie started to feel warm and comfortable with Richie being so close.

About an hour passes.
"Why do the gremlins look so weird-" Eddie says. "Because they look like you," Richie said with a goofy grin. Eddie puts his hand over Richie's eyes so he can't watch the movie. "Hey!"
"You get no more movie time."
"Eh wasn't watching it anyway. I was more looking at you the whole time."
Eddie's heart skips a beat. Richie tries to remove Eddie's hand with his own but Eddie pushes his hand down tighter on his face. "Eds I'm serious stop." Richie flips Eddie off. Eddie lets go and flicks Riches forehead. "Ow, you dickhead." Richie glares at Eddie. "Now watch the rest of the movie this time you dork," Eddie says as he puts his head back on Richie's shoulder. Richie smiles when Eddie calls him a dork.
"A dork huh?"
"Shut up or I will punch you."
"Ok, ok. Fine." Richie chuckles.

The movie ends a while later and Richie notices Eddie has fallen asleep. He smiles. "How cute." He whispers. Richie pulls Eddie closer to him and hugs him. He lays him down on the couch and Riche got up to rewind the tape. He keeps looking back at Eddie sleeping peacefully. He began to stir awake after a few minutes. Eddie rubs his eyes. "Hm? Oh, the movie's over." Eddie said still a little groggy. "Did you have a nice nap?" Richie said with a large smile. "Um, Yeah I guess. Did I fall asleep?"
"Yeah, you did." Richie chuckles. "Why didn't you wake me?" Eddie asks. "Because you looked cute when you were sleeping. Like a baby!" When Richie says this Eddie flushes. "Pardon?" Eddie asks just in case he didn't hear him right. "Oh never mind." Richie brushes it off and stands up.
"Come on I'll take you to my bed it's pretty late as it is."
"Wait what time is it?"
"I think like 7:00?"
"It's not that late."
"Shh, I am bringing you bed."
"Fine, you idiot."
They go up to Richie's room and sit on his bed. Richie smacks Eddie lightly with his wing. "Ow, you dick," Eddie says as he is now laying on the bed. He pulls Richie down with him. "Hey!" Richie says and tries to seem annoyed but laughs. "You're too cute," Richie says and Eddie looks away. "Stop saying that," Eddie spoke in an angry tone. "Why? Do you want me to lie?" Richie said with a smug smile. He seems to like to tease Eddie. "Fuck off," Eddie says then rolls over. Richie rolls over as well and wraps his arm around Eddie. "Hey! What are you doing!" Eddie yells. "What does it look like dumbass?"
