A failed revenge (reddie)

"We need to make sure Richie doesn't get into that weird paralyzed hypnotic state again," Eddie spoke up. "How do you expect us to do that," Beverly says. "I don't know!" He yells.

"You guys can just tie me up and hope this demon thing isn't too strong," Richie exclaims.
"We are not tying you up that's weird." She says. "Why?" He replies. "You know why Richie. You would be weird about it and never let it down." Eddie says. "Well, what do you want me to do? Go out and kill something or someone else? If these murders keep piling up this is not gonna be good Eds."
"It's not even good you killed one person!"
"Well that wasn't my fault you know that..." Richie sounds a little hurt by Eddie's words.

Richie's eyes start to flash black and then back to red. They keep switching back and forth. Richie screams in pure agony as he grips the hair on his head. "Richie!" Eddie screams as Beverly tries to pull him away from Richie. "Let go of me!" Eddie pulls away from Beverly's grip. Eddie runs and embraces Richie close. Richies eyes slowly start to change slower and turn back to red.

"Oh shit Richie you scared me half to death!" Eddie strikes him across the face. "Ow, what was that for?" Richie puts his hand on his face where he had been hit. "Sorry. But what the hell happened to you?" Eddie continues to hold Richie close to himself. "I don't know man.. but thank you... I think you helped." Richie replies.

"What the fuck!" Beverly shouts.
"Eddie, how did you know that would work?" Richie asks. "I didn't. I just wanted to be here with you. I didn't want you to hurt anyone again." He responds. (Are they just gonna ignore me?) Beverly thinks.

"But what if I hurt you? That was very stupid Eddie." Richie says. "I don't care." Eddie hugs Richie tightly. Richie's heart flutters with Eddie's tight hug. "Eddie, I shouldn't be around you. I could hurt you." Richie says with sadness in his voice. "I don't care. I'm not leaving you alone!" He replies. Richie's heart aches more with the fact he has to leave him to not hurt Eddie. "I'm sorry Eds, but I don't wanna hurt you."

"Richie I'm not leaving you that's final," Eddie says sternly and his grip around Richie only gets tighter. "You are an idiot!" Richie yells "I don't care Richie I'm not leaving you!"
"But I'm am gonna hurt you! I know I will!"
"I don't care!"
"I do! I care about you Eddie! So very much so, I don't want you getting hurt!" Richie spoke with his voice breaking as he said this trying not to break down crying. Eddie lets go of his tight grip on Richie. "And why do you think I wanna stay with you? It's not because I'm worried you're gonna hurt someone. It's because I care a lot about you.." Eddie puts his hand on Richie's cheek. Richies face flushed.

Beverly just stands there awkwardly watching this go down. "That's cheesy," Richie says. "Oh shut up. You should be lucky I even give two shits about you." His face starts to get a little red with colour. Eddie takes his hand back. "Thank you, Eds," Richie spoke quietly as he wiped a tear that had fallen with his palm.

(Are they dating get what is going on?) Beverly thought.
"Bev, you can go home if you want to. I think we can handle this ourselves." Eddie says and looks at Beverly. "Okay. Have fun love birds." She says as she leaves Richie's house. "Wait, what?!" Eddie's face goes red from the fact they were acting like a couple and didn't notice much. "I'm not a bird! Just because I have wings doesn't mean I'm a bird!" Richie shouts. "You missed the point of what she said didn't you?" He spoke after Richie's outburst. "No, I just didn't wanna make you more flustered than you already are," Richie spoke as he walked to the couch and sat down. "What?! I'm not flustered you ass hole!" Eddie snaps back. "Mhm, sure you not." He said as he opened the page of the old book where the prophecy was. "You are an asshole." He spoke in a grudging tone. "Hey, can you pass me my Spanish book? I dropped it right there." He points to it next to Eddie's feet.
"Nah I think I'll just leave it there."
"Please Eds."
"Fine." He rolls his eyes and grabs the book for him. He throws it at Richie though. "Hey! Rude!" Richie says annoyed. "Just look what the first word is ok?" Eddie sat down next to Richie.

Eddie and Richie start to decipher what it says slowly. Eddie writes what they find out on the table with the red crayon.
"You gonna ruin my table."
"I don't care."
After an hour they figure out a roughly translated meaning of what it all says.
"Boy with thick glass on eyes will summon me, I will take his form and kill two humans before I return home." Eddie reads the prophecy.
"My glasses are not thick!"
"Yes, they are."
"Wait did it say two people? Does that mean I have to kill one more person before I can go back to normal?"
"I think so, Richie.."
"But I didn't even wanna kill one person!"
"I know that but we have no other choice. It will be the person for you and stuff."
"Eddie.. I don't think I'm feeling so good..."
Richie's eyes start to turn black...
