lovesick [&reddie]

TWO!

richard tozier heard a gentle knock on his front door ( but not answering it, for he assumed his sister would get it.)
after at least three minutes, richard thought, the same knock bounced around the house.

"get the door, loser!" richie's littler sister, ruth, yelled to him.

richard rolled his eyes and stomped down the stairs, making sure ruth heard.
however, when he opened the door, he wasn't so angry anymore.
a boy stood at his front door, one with golden eyes with little sparkles inside of them, and a cute little nose with freckles scattered everywhere. a smile so pure richie felt like he was melting. the boys perfect little cheeks that looked ever so pinchable.
he looked so perfectly fragile.

"hi! i'm edward, but everyone calls me eddie. i'm staying next door for awhile."

richie was sure he was already blushing.

"that's good to hear, sugar. names richie, richie tozier."

eddie giggled.

" you're pretty, richie. "
"thank you, ed's. i could say the same about you."
"don't call me ed-
"RICH!" ruth yelled.

rich rolled his eyes for the second time that day and explained to eddie that that was his sister and he'd talk to eddie as soon as possible.
eddie, of course, understood and left, with a bit of hesitation.
richie sighed gently and walked inside.
