"oh what is he doing?" eddie groaned from bill's couch as he stared intensely the cheese rom-com they were watching.

"kiss him! don't let him go!" bev cried out and dug her nails in her cheeks. "what's wrong with you woman?"

"jesus christ why aren't you kissing him already?" mike joined in too, leaning forwards on the couch.

"give it a rest, guys. it's just a movie" stan rolled his eyes from the kitchen as he was helping bill make pancakes.

"would you two stop giggling over there and let us enjoy the movie?" ben hissed at stan, who lifted his brows while whisking the bowl with pancake dough.

eddie let out a long groan as the opposite of what they wanted, happened. "she's walking away! why is she walking away! her soulmate it right in front of her eyes and she's letting him walk away"

bev leaned onto ben's shoulder and sighed. "stupid girl"

"i do respect women, but she really is a dumb dumb" mike shut his eyes as he tried to process what happened.

"you guys are a b-bunch of wuh-wusses" bill walked in the living room, wearing his striped apron. "let it be. h-hey do you want c-chocolate or buh-berries with your pancakes"

"both" ben said. "obviously.

"agreed with ben. just put both on them" bev nodded.

bill walked back to the kitchen, telling stan what the others wanted, even though stan heard the others perfectly fine. he just wanted to hear bill's voice and talk to him.

was this pathetic?

eddie smiled as he looked from the corner of his eyes at stan and bill who were laughing at something stan had said. stan was glowing. purely glowing. he never looking like this when he was with eddie, or anyone else for that matter. but bill made him smile brighter, laugh louder and simply just glow.

"ed, you okay?" mike asked, snapping the other boy from his thoughts.

"what? oh yeah...yeah, i'm okay. just thinking how richie's doing"

"hey, i'm sure he's okay" ben looked up at eddie, due to the fact that he was sitting on the floor.

"yeah, obviously he's okay. he's richie...i just hope he's not feeling distant...you know...I just hope he has made a few friends there not to be so alone" eddie sighed longingly.

"that's it, i can't see you like this. we're calling the place" bev stated and stood up from the floor and headed towards the phone.

"what? oh no no no. it's so late. we can't call there anymore" eddie scooted up from the couch too and ran after bev.

"i don't care. we're calling" bev said and began putting the numbers on the phone.

"how do you know the number?" bill asked, while pouring the pancake mix onto the pan. he had overheard their conversation.

"of course I know the number. my aunt just worked at there at some point and I usually called there. it's not important right now. what's important is that eddie can get to talk to richie cause he's being way too depressed right now" bev said and put the phone on her ear and heard it ring.
