that weekend couldn't have flown by any quicker for eddie and richie. "when are we going to tell everyone else?" eddie asked richie as they drove back home. 

"i don't know." richie said. "but, not too soon." eddie hummed and watched the road. richie took a turn onto a dirt road and eddie became confused.

"what are we doing?" he wondered. 

"you'll see." richie just smirked as he kept driving until they reached a dirt lot. 

"chee!" eddie screamed as richie sped up by so much. "what in the world are you doing?" eddie hung onto the handle above the door as richie began to drift. 

"come on! we're having fun before we have to go back to school." although they were in the middle of spinning out, eddie was sure they were going to die, richie was entirely calm. 

"do you even know what you're doing?" eddie began to calm down.

richie really didn't know what he was doing but he wanted to reassure eddie. "yea, of course." he smiled at eddie next to him and realised he wasn't as tense anymore. 

richie slowed down and stopped the car for a moment before staring at eddie. "what?" eddie whispered. 

"you're just so cute." richie smiled before opening the sunroof. "are you ready to have fun? stand up through there." richie proposed. 

"oh hell no!" eddie quickly rejected that idea. 

"please eds." richie pouted. "i swear, it'll be okay. it will be fun." richie offered his hand for eddie to hold. 

eddie looked at his hand then back up to richie contemplating his next decision. "i swear." richie repeated. eddie finally made his decision and clutched richie's hand before standing through the sunroof. 

"i swear richie if you d-" eddie wasn't able to finish his sentence before richie started driving. at first it was truly terrifying. richie was almost positive eddie would break his hand but soon eddie began to enjoy it. he loved the feeling of the wind blowing his hair in untold directions and the thought that richie was right there holding his hand. not to mention what he thought was the biggest adrenaline rush he has ever had. 

after a while richie came to a stop. "we have to go home." he declared. 

eddie whined. "awe, that was fun." 

"another time eds, another time." with that they were on the way home. 

richie pulled up to eddie's house and they sat there for several moments. "i guess i should go." eddie proposed. 

"i guess so." eddie began to open the door when richie grabbed his arms and roughly pulled him towards himself. 

he planted a quick kiss on the boy's lips before letting him go. "i love you eddie." eddie's face was turning a deep crimson color. 

"i love you richie."

richie watched eddie walk to his front door before driving off.
