soft ✃ reddie

12:00 am

small hands clenched sheets with firm grips, and soft whimpers that are almost silent float through the air as eddie writhes and wriggles around the small bed.

though his eyes are shut, tears pour down his cheeks and onto the pillow and the tall boy next to him.

his dream is sharp and vivid, painted as clear as day. eddie's heart pounds at the images dancing in his head.

richie, a heavy sleeper, barely notices the boy thrashing around. "mph" he groans, finally waking up.

"ed's.. stop movin.." he mumbles.

then, he hears the whimpers. he hears the soft, delicate whine coming from the back of eddies throat and he hates it. he wants to make it stop, he never wants to hear the pain that lingers in eddie's mind again.

his eyes snap open, looking towards the tiny boy. richie's heart aches at the sight of his lover experiencing such fear. richie immediately shakes eddie, trying desperately to wake him. "baby, wake up." he repeats, over and over, "wake up. baby, wake up." the sight of eddie almost brings richie to tears himself.

eddie slowly flutters his long lashes against his cheeks, waking up and looking to see richie in front of him.

his cheeks flush, and his eyes fill with tears again feeling the embarrassment of someone seeing him in his most vulnerable state.

"i-im suh-sorry.." he hiccups softly as he's pulled into the tall boy's arms. "don't be sorry, baby, are you alright?" he strokes eddies hair, now matted to his head.
eddie only nods and holds on tight to richie as he cries into his chest.

"you know i'm here for you. don't be sorry, eds."

"don't ever be sorry for it, baby." he repeats.

eddies hiccups and whimpers are silenced by the warmth of richies gentle embrace, tears now dried and breathing steadied.

"i love y-you, richie."

"i love you too, baby."

i'm into a lot of shows and movies ,  including the stranger things, it (obviously), black mirror, himym and the office
