     it was finally the last week of school, other wise known as party week, and that's all eddie planned on doing. richie on the other hand, had different plans. he wanted to just ditch school all together and go drive around somewhere in his parents car.
     "eds come on, everyone is going to be at school eating chips or whatever and doing boring stuff. we could go out and do donuts in a field somewhere and eat until we hate ourselves." richie elaborated trying to persuade eddie. "im not ditching school rich." eddie retorted. richie rolled his eyes and walked in front of eddie, stopping him in his tracks. "eds, it's the last week of school, who cares if you ditch, it's not like you'll have work to make up." richie added. eddie kissed his teeth and looked at richie, deep in thought. eddie had never ditched school before, but richie was sort of right, why not go and do something out of eddie's comfort zone. "...fine." eddie gave in and rolled his eyes. richie began cheering and picked eddie's light body up and swung him around. "richie tozier put me down!" eddie complained trying to push richie off of him.  even though richie was quite thin himself, he was still much stronger than eddie. he threw eddie over his shoulder and walked through the sea of people and through the exit. "richie I swear to god if you don't put me down-" eddie started, but abruptly stopped when richie did finally put him down. eddie gave richie a fake dirty look and mumbled a quick, "thank you."
     "alright eds, let's start our little adventure by getting some ice cream." richie stated snaking his arm around eddie's small waist. eddie blushed and slowly looked down to find richie's large hand on eddie's hip. he looked back up at richie, who was looking down at eddie and grinning softly.
     "alrighty kasprak, here's stop number one, order whatever you want, it's on me." richie informed walking up to the counter with eddie. richie intently looked over the menue, and decided he just wanted a regular vanilla cone. richie asked eddie if was ready to order, and offered that eddie go first. eddie had ended up ordering the same thing as richie, and it made richie smile. richie took his cone, and eddie waited a moment more for his. eddie reached his dainty hand over the counter and the server quickly caught notice of eddie's nails. the man quickly snatched the ice cream away from eddie grip and threw it away. "we don't serve your kind here." the server stated with an expression of pure anger. eddie put his head down low and softly apologized, and turned around to make his way out of the ice cream parlor. richie grabbed eddie's shoulder and drug him back to where he was standing before. "listen here dick face, there isn't a damn thing wrong with this boy, and if you don't get him his fucking ice cream right now, I will beat the shit out of you." richie threatened. eddie had never seen richie so angry in his whole life, and honestly was terrified of richie at that moment. "richie it's fine honestly, we can leave." "no it's not fine eddie! you are getting what you came here for! and if you don't start preparing his order I will fucking wring your neck!" richie threatened once again, but the man didn't move. richie's face reddened with anger, and his knuckles began to turn white.
     richie threw his ice cream cone off to the side and jumped over the counter, immediately tackling the man to the ground. richie didn't hit him, but just pinned him to the ground. "this could get a lot worse dude, now I'm going to let you stand up, and you are going to get that precious boy what he asked for, do you understand me?" richie spoke, tightly holding the collar of the servers shirt. the man trembled in fear, and nodded frantically, understanding richie's request. richie stood up and kept his eyes on the man as he slowly walked over and finally prepared eddie's simple ice cream cone. richie snatched it from the server's hand, and made his way back around the counter, not breaking eye contact with the man. "here eds." richie grumbled handing eddie his treat and wrapping an arm around his shoulders. "I hope you burn in hell you homophobic fuck." richie spat one last time before he exited the building with eddie.
     "richie you didn't have to do that, that was really unnecessary." eddie commented softly, scared of what richie's response would be. "that's what you think eds, but you need someone like me to stick up for you. you would've just walked out of there, and felt horrible about yourself, when there is no reason to do that. now that I did that to him, he'll probably give you free ice cream for life." richie replied, still irritated. "but why did you do it rich? it was such a stupid thing to tackle someone over." eddie wondered, as he finally enjoyed his cold treat. "well eds...I did that because I care for you and your well being, and I wanted to show you that sometimes you have to stick up for what you love and believe in." richie answered turning his attention over to eddie. eddie looked back up to his tall friend who had a very tender look in his eyes. "richie...do you love me?"
