Recovery (Reddie)

6th Chapter

The next morning, Richie was sleeping when something happened.

Eddie slowly opened his eyes and looked where he was. Soon he realized that Richie was on his side.

Eddie: *low voice* Ri... Richie...

Richie didn't answer, he had a deep sleep, after all, he couldn't sleep for days.

It was when Eddie slowly moved his arm to try to wake him, that Richie noticed the movement. He rapidly woke up.

Richie: Huh? Eddie? Is that...

Nothing, "it's just a dream" he thought, and he went back to his sleeping.

Eddie moved his arm again. "I'm here" he said with low voice.

Richie: W-what? Eddie? *Sigh* okay, move your head slowly if you are listening to me.

Eddie: Richie... it's okay, I'm... here. What... happened?

Richie quickly stood up and carefully gave Eddie a hug.

Richie: Oh God! I missed your voice.

Eddie: Hey... Richie, what happened?

Richie bit his lip, looked at the window and then told him.

Richie: Well, when we got home, you felt really sick and then you fainted. You are here for two days now...

Eddie: Wow... And were you here all this... time?

Richie: Of course, how could I not?

Eddie stared at Richie and smiled. And Richie ran a hand over his face and pressed a kiss to his cheek.

Richie: Are you thirsty? I'll get some water.

Eddie: Yes... Please.

Richie: Okay.

Eddie: And Richie...

Richie: Yes?

Eddie: I... I love y-you.

Richie: I love you too, Eddie.
