Enjoy :D

Eddie rode the bus every day to school.

He was actually REALLY surprised his mother let him. She was always scared of germs, but it took weeks of begging. Mostly because she didn't turn on the air conditioning because "it releases germs into the air"

She let him go because-he would beg so much he'd have to use his inhaler and she didn't want him to get "poisoned"

Anyway, he arrived on the bus and looked for places to sit. He found a completely empty seat and sat there hoping nobody would sit next to him. But it made him sad nobody did anyway.

On the last stop, the bus was packed and their was only 1 spot left, that was next to him.

A taller boy with clunky glasses and a 'Freeses' shirt came in and looked around for spots.

Eddie looked at the stunning boy that the school refers to as 'trash mouth tozier' but honestly, Eddie thought his jokes were pretty funny.

The boy finally spotted eddies seat and plopped down next to him. The careless Richie let their thighs touch making Eddie get butterflies just from the extra contact.

Richie looked at Eddie,

cross that..

he stared at Eddie making the small boy insecure and flattered at the same time.

Eddie looked away and pretended not to notice.

"Aye, you that kid everyone calls mamas boy?"

Eddie looked over and saw an impatient Richie waiting for a response. Eddies face heated up and he said.

"They call me mamas boy?"

Richie suddenly felt bad, he didn't want to hurt the boys feelings.

Actually, he looked kind of cute.

"Uh.. actually, you don't look like much of a mamas boy to me."

Richie saw Eddies face light up.

"Actually, kinda good lookin" muttered Richie to himself.

"What was that?" Eddie asked Richie.

"Nothin.. nothin" richie replied looking at his hands.

Eddie smiled to himself as he heard perfectly well what Richie said and was excited that he finally had his chance to get a boy to like him.

Eddie scooted closer to Richie ever so slightly, but Richie noticed and started to blush. Just then.. the bus stopped at school.

The following week Eddie would make sure to grab an empty seat and have it stay empty until Richie's stop.

Even though the rides together lasted 20 minutes, Eddie felt like it was only 5. Richie would crack mom jokes and cuss and Eddie giggled at all of them which made Richies stomach warm. He enjoyed his time with Richie and Richie did too.

The next day Eddie was scared about the bus ride.

Half of the people that rode their bus was a cheerleader or football player and they had practice that morning. Which meant there would be open seats and Richie wouldn't be forced to sit with him.

When it came to Richies stop, Eddie looked at the floor so he wouldn't be sad about Richie not wanting to sit by him.

Then, Eddie felt a weight plop down next to him. He looked up and saw Richie.

"What's cookin' good lookin?"

Richie said half jokingly and half seriously.

Eddie looked around and saw about 10 empty benches.

"Yes I mean you" Richie said seeing Eddie look around. Eddie blushed.

Eddie and Richie talked that whole bus ride until they arrived at school.

Little did they know, Henry Bowers Dad was the bus driver. He saw clearly that Richie and Eddie flirted all of the time. And he hated homosexuals. He ran his mouth to Henry who decided to do something about it.

The next day at school they had an assembly for Veterans Day and Henry got an idea.

He stood up and walked over to the gym all the way in the middle in front of the teachers and students with puzzled looks om their faces.  Henry snatched microphone from a 70 year old veteran and started to talk.

"I have a special announcement to make today! You all know, Eddie Kaspbrak right?" He said his voice amplified into eddies ears causing him to shudder with all attention (including Richie's) to shift over to him.

"Well! It turns out.. Eddie has a crush, and it's not a girl!"

Richie's mouth opened with shock and his eyes gaped hoping that 'non girl' was him.

"And guess who the lucky fellow is? It's none other than Trashmouth Tozier!"

Eddie gulped and ran out of the gym crying into the bathroom.

Richie following shortly behind.

In the bathroom he could hear quiet sobbing in the stall. Richie was overwhelmed and decided what he was going to do.

He knocked on the stall and it opened slowly.

When Eddie saw Richie's face he attempted to close it but Richie caught the door with his hand (it got slammed on)

"Richie! OH MY GOSH IM SO SORRY!" Eddie said opening the door and embracing the taller boy.

Richie touched his hand a winced not even noticing the pain when he felt a small figure wrap around his waist.

"It's-it's cool" Richie said.

Not being able to take it anymore, Richie pulled Eddie into a kiss and they both blushed.

Eddie could feel Richie smiling lightly.

"Now we can tell our grandchildren we had our first kiss in a bathroom stall Ed's!"

"Don't call me that"
