"so" stan started as he sat in front of eddie, holding a sketch book in his hands. "hold still, and don't move"

"hold still and don't move mean the same thing" eddie said, trying not to move his lips a lot.

"shut up" stan rolled his eyes as he looked at eddie's features a bit, before beginning to draw.

"can I talk?" eddie asked.

"if you don't move your mouth love" stan said.

"you could shut it" eddie mumbled, which made stan look up, swallow and press his lips against eddie's, catching the smaller boy by surprise. "better?"

"i..." eddie looked at stan with wide eyes. "i was joking..."

stan flushed red. "sorry...i thought-"

"but it's okay" eddie smiled a little. "i...to be honest I kinda missed that"

stan chuckled a bit and continued drawing. "have you told anyone about it?"

"no, but richie almost made me give in" eddie sighed.

"how come?"

"we were talking and he asked have I kissed anyone after myra"

"and what'd you reply"

"no, of course" eddie laughed a little. stan nodded, glancing at eddie, who was sitting in front of stan, modeling to him. stan invited him over, wanting to practice his drawing skills. he had put a few flowers behind eddie's ear and made eddie wear overalls, which eddie of course had. how could he not have overalls?

"and you? have you told anyone?" eddie asked.

"nope" stan shook his head, his curls bouncing on his forehead. "but they're gonna find out eventually...like it or not. richie at least"

"we have to be more careful" eddie began to panic. "if-if they find out...."

stan frowned and put a hand on eddie's. "hey...hey, eddie...they won't, alright? and if they do, they're not gonna hate us for it...they're not that kind of people"

"how do you know..." eddie whimpered. stan bit his lip and shrugged. "i don't...but I feel-"

"well feels apparently doesn't mean anything!" eddie let out a groan.

"what do you mean?"

"I hate betty, stan! why does she exist?" eddie cried out. the other one, let out a little smile. "yeah? why do you hate her so much?"

"because she....she's annoying" eddie let out a breathy laugh.

"or maybe it's because she's been with richie recently...going on dates with him...maybe even kissing each other?"

eddie tensed up at the mention of kissing. he clutched his fists, inhaling deeply. "kissing? they've kissed?"

"I wouldn't know and to be honest, I don't care...do you?"
