eddie shrugged richie's shoulders off, richie switched his attention to him, scrunching his eyebrows together. eddie mouthed, "you should only be doing that with your girlfriend," and richie's face visibly darkened.
"what's wrong?" eddie asked, a look of worry in his eyes.
"she's moving, and she doesn't want to do long distance." richie sighed.
a burst of excitement made its way through eddie's body. "well, how much longer do you have with her?"
richie looked to the side and answered, "i don't know, i think..." he paused, biting his lip, "2 months?"
"well, you can try and convice her to do the long distance." eddie suggested with a hope of it not working. he shrugged his shoulders.
"that's a good idea! thanks eds." richie beamed.
"don't call me that." eddie pouted, dissapointed that richie cares so much for his girlfriend, and barely any for his "best friend."
richie suddenly perked up, noticing that bill and stan were getting into the same car. "HEY! DON'T MAKE OUT TOO MUCH, I DON'T WANNA MISS THE SHOW!"
bill and stan's cheeks heated up, stan mumbled a "fuck you" and flipped richie off.
"I'd say 'maybe later' but that's bills job," richie smirked, sticking his dirty tongue out at stan.
ben asked beverly if he could ride with her instead of third-wheeling with stan and bill. she nodded, whispering something in his ear that they both giggled at.
richie bit at his nails, "eds, babes, eddie spaghetti, spaghetti man, wanna ride with me?"
eddie stiffens, shifting his attention to richie, "sure, if you call me none of those names."
richie faked a gasp, "eds!! i thought you loved them!!"
eddie smacked richie's arm, giggling, "no i dont, dipshit."
richie led eddie to his beat down red car, the paint was chipping, and it was not in the best condition. eddie bit his lip, wondering how many time richie hasn't washed his hands and has touched the steering wheel. he hesitated, but ended up getting into the passengers seat and closed the door.
"eds, i love you." eddie's heart beat quicker, but dropped to his stomach as richie added, "you're my best friend"
"you're my best friend too, chee" eddie replied, grinning at richie with a smile so fake it hurts.
yeah, you are my best friend, but i wish you were more.
