eddie continued to cry in his friends warm arms. he had so many emotions to release, and they all filtered out through tears. "im always here to talk eds, you know that. so whenever your ready to talk to me and tell me what's going on, just let me know." richie reassured as he continued to comfort his friend.
eddie soon tired himself from crying and laid down on his bed. richie laid next to him and faced him, making sure his friend was alright. "you know what I'm most surprised by?" richie began to tease. "what?" edddie sniffled. "you didn't need your inhaler." richie finished, chuckling. "you're such and idiot." eddie commented, shoving his chest slightly. eddie and richie laid in eddies comfortable bed for many minutes, looking at each other and making sure the other was okay. eddie soon grew bored of just staring at richie, and wanted to hold him again. richie was warm and comforting, and eddie needed that right about now. the small boy started scooting over towards his friend, and the other soon got the hint. richie reached his arm out and hooked it around eddie's torso, pulling him close once again. "im tired rich." eddie informed as he pulled himself closer to richie. "well take a nap, I can go." richie insisted as he started to pull away. "no! I..uh...want you to stay." eddie retorted, confusing richie at the sudden outburst. "really? because usually you're pushing me away from you, or saying, 'oh fuck of richie.' why the sudden change in mind?" richie teased pulling his friend close, realizing this is a one time thing, and he should savor it while he can. "that's me joking around. you know how you joke around and pinch my cheek, when I joke around and shove you around." eddie elaborated nuzzling into the crook of richie's neck. "fair enough spaghetti." richie commented, as he stroked eddie's curls."eddie bear, time to get up..." cooed eddie's deceitful mother. his eyes batted open again, but this time, no light blinded him, instead he was met with a very peaceful richie. his curls were a tangled mess, and light snores escaped his lips.
"richie....richie..." eddie whispered hopping to wake his slumbering friend. "come on rich, wake up..." eddie added, and started shaking his shoulder. richie sat up in a panic and checked his surroundings, then saw that eddie was by his side. "oh, I didn't know I stayed, I must of fell asleep soon after you did.." richie whispered groggily.richie said his goodbye to eddie as he entered his math class, which was the only class he didn't have with eddie. eddie had two study halls, which richie was very jealous of because he would love the extra time to do whatever. he entered the classroom and sat next to bill and stan, along with his other friends lucas and dustin. (ha see what I did there 😏) "where were you yesterday?" stan questioned as richie pulled his supplies out of his bag. "what are you talking about?" "I called you yesterday and you didn't pick up, and usually you aren't doing anything so you pick up." Stan elaborated. "oh, well I went over to eddie's yesterday to study ." "oh I know damn well you two didn't study, you probably didn't let him." stan teased causing richie to shove him. "okay fine we didn't study, but eddie cried a lot. don't tell anyone... but he said he was going through something personal, so I asked him if he wanted a hug, and he hugged me and started crying, and then he tired himself out so he laid down, then he was like 'rich come lay down with me' and I wasn't gonna say no because he's my best friend. so then I laid down with him and he started scooting and I pulled him over the rest of the way to like comfort him again, the he said ' I'm tired rich' and I said I would go home but he like panicked and wanted me to stay, and I guess I ended up falling asleep there because he woke me up this morning and scared the shit out of me." richie ranted hoping that his friends would make fun of him. "wow rich has a heart! who would've thought?!" stan teased again. "what am I supposed to do? should I just go over again today and be like 'eds what the fuck is wrong with you' or should I wait for him to tell me?" richie questioned in a paranoid manner. "just wait, he trusts you and will come to you when the time is right." stan replied and rubbed richie's back for reassurance. richie bit his lip in though. it really bothered him to know that his best friend was battling something, and continued to keep it a secret. richie thought he must be under tons of pressure, and it hurt to see his friend like this, or think of him like this.
