EDDIE'S POV

"Mom, I'm going to hangout with Richie"

"You be careful around that filthy boy, Eddie Bear. If he puts one toe out of line or tries anything I'll-"

"Sure, ma" I rolled my eyes and closed the door behind me.

It's Christmas Eve, but fuck this house. Richie asked to meet me by his house, so I made my way there. I'd rather spend time with him or the Losers than here.

--

I arrived at Richie's house and there he stood, leaning against the porch, looking gorgeous as ever. A cigarette hung from his lips as he stood waiting for me. Once he noticed me, his face lit up brighter than the Christmas tree illuminated in the window and the cigarette between his teeth.

"Hello, my handsome asthmatic prince" he smirked.

"Hey, Richie" I greeted, and kissed his smoky lips. "Your folks actually got a Christmas tree, huh?"

"It's all for show, Eds" he scoffed, and threw his cigarette to the icy ground.

"Figures" I agreed.

He chuckled and leaned down for another kiss. The kiss was longer and he held me tight as we kissed passionately. Once we separated, he held me securely in his arms and exhaled contently.

"I love this so much" I whispered into his chest as I let his warmth and scent surround me.

"Me too, Eddie" he said jovially, and I could hear the smile in his soothing voice.

"So, what's the plan?" I asked as we pulled away and he gently grasped my hand.

"Look what I brought" he grinned and grabbed something from his porch.

He came back with two new looking pairs of shiny Reebok skates.

"Whoa, where did you get those!" I exclaimed amazed as I eyed the skates he handed me.

"An early present from my parents"

"Oh" I said mournfully.

"Yeah" he sighed. "Guess it's their way of making up for years of being the worst parents in the whole fucking planet"

"I'm sorry, Richie. But hey, let's go enjoy them" I smiled up at him, and his eyes immediately lit up with a handsome smile.

"Okay, Eddie Spaghetti, let's go have fun" he ruffled my hair.

I rolled my eyes but giggled all the same as he intertwined our fingers and we walked off to the frozen Quarry. We slipped off our shoes and pulled on our skates. They fit perfectly, and we glided onto the ice.

Or at least, Richie did. I slipped and fell as soon as I hit the ice. It's not my first time skating, but I don't skate often. Richie glided past me with ease and chuckled before extending his hands to pull me up.
