love sick

Eddie

It was so warm. Being in his arms... usually he's tense when we touch but right now he's so relaxed he feels like a pillow. I pushed myself up and looked down at him. His gaze wondering to my lips then back to my eyes. For a minute I didn't know what I was doing but it felt like a magnet was pulling me. His mouth moved like he wanted to say something but I didn't hear anything

Eddie: I'm getting a drink, do you want something?

Richie: Water please

I nodded and ran off to the kitchen. Alice followed behind me.

Alice: I seen you guys! How cute!

Eddie: It's scary as hell! I don't know how he feels towards me and I don't want to do something that he doesn't want. I'm afraid...

I looked down at the tiled floor and Alice engulfed me in a hug

Alice: Trust me, if he didn't like you, he wouldn't have pulled you on top of him like that

I smiled, missing Richies skin contact.

Eddie: I just want things to go slow.

I grabbed Richies water bottle and took my soda to the living room. I set them on the coffee table. Sadly he was now sitting up but patted the seat next to him. I took the offer and sat straight up watching the movie. But I felt his hand creep around my waist and pull me close making my cheeks burn. I leaned my head on his shoulder

Richie

I craved his touch. More than any cigarette or drug. He laid his head on my shoulder and I got that feeling in my gut again. I felt around the couch for his hand. My finger tips found his soft hand. I laid my hand on top of his but he wanted more. He laced our fingers together and squeezed

My stomach hurt. His hands were so small and fit perfectly in mine. Everything about this moment made my head hurt and heart ache.

The credits started rolling and Mike turned on the lights. Eddie pulled away from me leaving a cold feeling in my chest.

Eddie: Is everyone tired?

Everyone grumbled and whined

Eddie: I guess that's a yes. There's 2 couches down here and a futon in the study.

Bill: Stan and I c-call the
f-futon!

He grabbed Stans hand making him blush and ran into the study. The fuck is up with them?

Mike: I guess Rich and I will have the couches

Eddie

I nodded and brought them blankets and pillows

Alice: And if any of you boys need me I'll be in my room!

She waved bye all flirty. Mike got up to follow her but I put my hand out to stop him

Eddie: Not in my house hold!

He put his hands up and sat back down on the couch.

Before going upstairs I yelled to everyone

Eddie: If you need me my bedroom is the last door at the end of the hallway

We all said goodnight and I sleepily trudged upstairs to my room. I laid in bed looking out my window at the moon. A few moments later I felt a dent on my bed. A arm wrapped around me and my breath hitched

Eddie: Richie...?

Richie: Sh... just hold me...

I flipped around and he snuggled his head against my chest as I held his head and played with his loose curls

Richie: I don't know what your doing to me Ed's... but I love it

I closed my eyes and we drifted off to sleep.

Richie
(Yes I realize this is the third time I've switched povs)

After hanging out for a bit we all left Eddies house. I told him I'd call him later. I walked home with mike today, as Stan and Bill were acting odd.

Richie: Mike? You've been in love right?

I asked him that because he had a girlfriend of three years, they just broke up a year ago

Mike: I think so

Richie: What's it like?

He smiled, mike was always the Romantic type and was always the one we went to for love advice

Mike: Why are you asking?

Richie: I need someone to explain what I'm feeling... for this... person....

Mike: Well What do you feel?

Oh, where to start...

Richie: You know me Mikey, I don't do love, I'm not a touchy person... I'm rough. But when this person talks to me I get all soft. And when they touch me it feels like electricity. I'd do anything for this person, because I can't get enough of their touch, their voice, their cuteness. It makes my stomach feel...weird... and I hate it, but in the best possible way...

I looked at him, who was listening intently. He grinned at me

Mike: Richie Tozier... you are one love sick boy...
