Your dirty little secret - Reddie

-21-

Richie walked Eddie home. They didn't want to kiss outside where anyone could see, so Eddie invited Richie in. Richie smirked at him, so he rolled his eyes and called out for his mom as he opened the door. No response. Richie poked at Eddie's hip as he shut the door.

Eddie turned around, then Richie grabbed his face gently and kissed his lips softly. Eddie smiled then looked around the room before kissing Richie again. Eddie pushed free of Richie's hug, then locked the door, "Come on."

Eddie closed his room door and laid down on his bed, staring at the ceiling like they always did when they hung out. Richie leaned over and kissed Eddie's cheek. Eddie turned to face him. They pressed their lips together once again, but this time with a bit more passion.

Eddie smiled, rolling on to his back and facing the ceiling. He closed his eyes tightly, "Do you think this is stupid?" His hands rested on his stomach. Richie grabbed Eddie's hand, "What is?"

"My mom could be home any minute..." Eddie sat up. Richie didn't let go of Eddie's hand, "So?"
"So if she comes in then I'm royally fucked! What if she-"

"What if she found out about this and did something? Ed's-" Richie messed with Eddie's hair, "Do you want to kiss at my house instead?" Eddie laughed and rested his head on Richie's shoulder, "You're stupid!"

"That's not how your mom pronounces my name-" Eddie punched Richie in the arm, "Okay get out of my room!" The two laughed. Eddie sighed, "We aren't-...Are we going to tell the group about this?"

"Me and you? We don't have to-" Richie felt a bit confused. Eddie stood up and walked over to his dresser, "You could...Stay the night? Or I could come over..."

"I like the second one...But your mom might get jealous!" Richie teased. Eddie rolled his eyes and put a few things in a bag. He grabbed his things from the bathroom, then hopped down the stairs with the stairs, Richie following close behind.

"I'll call my mom when we get to your house. Is Maggie still home?" Eddie grabbed a few pill bottles from the kitchen. Richie slipped his shoes on at the door, "She took off to unpack some things in her new place at the next town over, this morning. I'm pretty sure she'll be back before the sun goes down though..."

"So..." Eddie walked over to the front door where Richie was standing, "Is this new place close enough to bike to and from?" Richie smiled and messed with Eddie's hair again, "Yeah, I'd say so. I'll bike here and back from there every time you wanna see me, just give me a call!"

Eddie smiled and kicked his feet nervously, "Wow...You really do like me a lot, huh?" Richie rolled his eyes and shook his head smiling, "What was your first clue?"

The two left the house and walked to Richie's. Maggie's car was in the driveway, but no sign of Wentworth's car anywhere near the house. Eddie and Richie walked in, to find Maggie sitting on the table eating some dinner. She smiled and waved to Eddie, "Are you boys hungry?"

Richie gave her a look behind Eddie's back. Eddie smiled, "No thanks. I already ate, but thank you." Richie grabbed Eddie's arm and they ran up the staircase. Maggie smiled.
