Okay Richie wasn't annoyed but he was getting there. He loved the attention he's been getting from Eddie the past week but it can be a bit much sometimes. He's honestly feeling much better...even though he does get very bored just laying in bed. But doctors orders. Aka Eddies orders. He doesn't want to tell Eddie that he's feeling quite okay, though...he's never felt more loved.

Richie sees the doorknob slowly turning, Eddie probably thinks he's, "sleeping" Rich quickly took off his headphones and rolled over facing the wall. Eddie tiptoed over to the curly haired boy and whispered, "Rich?" He still layed there, not knowing if he should "wake up" or not.

Eddie sighed and sat at the foot of Eddies bed. "I hope you feel better Richie...I can't wait to spend more time with you outside the cabin. Laughing and messing around." Eddie was just mumbling to himself, so he thought. Eddie swiftly changed into his pjs and turned the lamp off, slipping into bed.

"Goodnight Rich..."

Richie just smiled to himself, very quietly whispering, "Goodnight Ed's" so Eddie wouldn't hear him.

The next morning Richie woke up and turned over to see if Eddie was up. Per usual, the shorter boy already had his bed made and was out of the cabin. There was a note on his nightstand reading, "Went to fetch you breakfast, be back soon. " -Eddie"

Richie smiled to himself and but the note in a shoebox under his bed. Not shortly after, Eddie was opening the door with a tray in his hands. "Good morning Richie! I brought you a bagel and some eggs." Eddie brought the food over and sat it on Richies nightstand. Richie day up and smiled at the boy. "Thanks Ed, but you really don't have to do this...I really appreciate it and everything but you need to go have fun. I should be fine soon anyways." He was already fine, but not telling Eddie. The brown haired boys smile fell a bit and he sat next to Richie who was now sitting up, "But I want to take care of you...it's fine I promise. I have fun doing it." They both blushed. Richie got closer to Eddie, "You're the sweetest, you know that?" Eddie looked down, the redness moving from his cheeks up to his ears. Richie smirked, "Answer me...you're the sweetest, right?" Eddie nodded, "Right"

Their eyes met and they were both content just studying each other's faces but we're interrupted with a knock at the door. Eddie sighed but yelled, "Who is it?" - "Beverly"

Eddies jaw clinched but he stood up to open the door, roughly swinging it open. He put on a fake smile, "Come on in Beverly, I was just leaving!" Eddie pushed passed her and Beverly just stood there, confused. Richie just sighed, "Come in"

Beverly shut the door and she made her way over to Richie. "So, what was that?" Richie just chuckled, "I think Ed's and I just had a moment" Beverly facepalmed, "Shit, and I just ruined it!" The boy shook his head, No, no, no. He'll be back shortly to check on me. I know he will" Beverly just smiled and nodded. She got up and made her way out the door. Finally, Richie thought. I can eat.

[So uh...it's been awhile]
