EDDIE'S POV

"Soooo, Eddie," Richie said casually as he stared at the ceiling, "whatchoo wanna do today?"

I looked up from my book and smirked.

"Let me guess" he chortled.

"Carnival" we answered at the same time, and chuckled warmly.

"Hell yeah" I laughed.

I grinned at him and he mirrored it as we ran to the door. I grabbed my hoodie as he grabbed his keys and headed outside. Once we were in the car, we giggled like little kids before he shoved the key in the ignition.

The engine roared to life and we drove off to the carnival.

(Let's just pretend this is an 80s/90s song/artist)

"I'm in love with the shape of you,
You push and pull like a magnet too
I'm in love with your body"

"Ugggh" I groaned. "I hate this song"

"You don't like Ed Sheeran?" Richie queried offended.

"I love Ed Sheeran, I just don't like this song"

"How come?" he stepped closer.

"I don't know, I mean...it's all about him falling in love with a girl for her body...for what's on the outside. I just think there's more important things to love about a person, you know?" I explained.

"You're right" he admitted, and smiled warmly. "Kinda like your mom has a great figure but it's what's on the inside that counts!"

"Shut up" I scoffed.

"Sorry, Eds" he chuckled.

I hadn't realized how close we were standing until someone bumped into us.

"Sorry, buddy!" they apologized as they ran past.

I had squeezed my eyes shut when they bumped me, and I opened them to find my face buried in Richie's strong, warm chest.

He smiled down at me and I blushed.

"S-Sorry" I chuckled nervously.

"No worries" he smirked nonchalantly.

I rubbed the back of my neck as he shoved his hands in his pockets.

"Anyway," he changed the subject, "let's go ride the ferris wheel before it gets too late"

"Sure" I smiled, and he grinned.

He reached to grab my hand, and although my crimson cheeks set fire, I let him, and he intertwined our fingers. There's nothing wrong with two boys holding hands. It didn't mean anything.
