"I've moved further than I thought I could but I miss you more than I thought I would. Oh, I'll use you as a warning sign, that if you talk enough sense, then you'll lose your mind. And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be. Right in front of me, talk some sense to me."

-FLASHBACK-

"Do you think Eddie and Peter like each other?" Richie asked his girlfriend. It had been two days since he saw the two of them kiss. He didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he decided not to bring it up to Eds. "Like really like each other? You know, the type of like that you and I have?" he questioned. His mind was everywhere at the moment, well, it had actually been everywhere since he saw Eddie and his worst enemy sharing their lips with one another. It was a terrible sight, the thought of them together made him cringe.

"Peter really likes him," Lizzy shrugged, she pressed a kiss to Richie's lips. When he didn't respond to it, she pulled back and gave him a weird look. "Actually," she began, "I do. I think they're going to be together. I know Peter likes him and I think Eddie likes him back."

Richie just frowned at her words. "Well, that's crazy," he insisted. "Peter and Eddie? Eddie and Peter? It doesn't make sense, am I the only one who realizes that? I mean, what if Eddie gets pregnant for crying out loud!"

Lizzy's eyebrows slowly raised at her boyfriend's comment, "That's not possible-"

"I know," he exclaimed. Richie was looking for a reason to hate the two together. He couldn't find one. "I'm sorry, Lizzy. I know this was supposed to be our time and I keep ruining it by talking about Eddie and Peter. I'm really sorry- let's talk about you. How was your day, Liz?"

"My day was amazing-"

"What do you think they're gonna name their kids?" Richie broke out into the topic he was trying to avoid. "Is Peter really serious about him? Do you think he's going to ask him to get a pet with him? Do you think he's going to ask him for his hand in marriage? Or do you think he's going-"

"Richie!" she finally snapped. "Shut the hell up for a second. I'm so tired of you talking about Eddie and my brother, so please be quiet and just kiss me."

"Lizzy, we can kiss anytime," Richie groaned. "I'm just not in the mood to make out right now. I don't think it's time. Do you wanna read over some of your work?"

"You would rather read over my work than to make out with me?" Lizzy questioned. "What's wrong with you? Did something happen?"
