I loser-love you // Richie X Eddie

Eddie...why? Pt 2

Eddie looked down at his lap.

"Why what?" Anyone looking at the small boy could tell he knew.

"Why did you never tell me about your mom doing this to you?" Richie asked, a genuinely worried expression behind his glasses. Eddie continued staring at his lap, saddened by the question.

"She never has."

(Richie's P.O.V.)

Eddie's words stung. His mom had never hit him before, this was the first time ever- all because he's gay. A  feeling of guilt dropped a boulder in my stomach. I felt responsible for his mothers action.

"Eddie... maybe it would be best if we weren't... you know.. togeth-"

"No! Do you know what that would do to me Rich..?! It's bad with my mom and you make it better, without you it would just stay bad.." He trailed off as my eyes widened.

He needed me. He must've felt like nothing without me..

"I feel like it's my fault your mom slapped you though..."

"Well it's not okay! Now come here.." I looked at him and he looked shyly at me.

I scooched closer to him and he hugged me, leaning against my chest. I smiled warmly when he looked up at me. He smiled back and I think I melted inside. I suddenly got the urge to kiss him, it's not like we aren't boyfriends so it's not like I had to refrain. I lent down and kissed his nose, I didn't know if he'd be comfortable with our usual kissing at the moment because of the situation. I watched his cheeks flush a little, but he looked hurt.

"What's wrong?" I asked. Did he want me to kiss his lips?

"You always kiss my lips..! Never my nose..!" He whined, I smiled.

I lent down again and kissed his soft lips. He immediately kissed me back, sending butterflies around my stomach. It was short, but sweet. A feeling I don't think anyone can replace.

"Do you love me Richie..?"

"What kind of question is that? Of course I do Eds!" I reply, surprised by his question.

He shrugged.

"I dunno. But I love you too." He cuddled into me, sending a warm feign through my whole body.

I love him. 

Sorry for such a short chapter, I didn't know what to write, but this is the last part of Eddie...Why? Don't worry not the end of the story, I've got something planned »:)
