Jeep

Eddie didn't know he could love a person so much, but swaying to the music with Richie, he just felt so...so, amazing. He felt like he never wanted to leave Richie's side, and he wasn't. Eddie never would've thought, at age 16 he would be so incredibly in love with someone. Eddie rested his head on Richie's chest, as their bodies were collided together. Something hit him, he didn't want people to think they can tear down Richie because they think he's fragile, weak and sensitive. Richie's not like that, he's soft yeah, but he's really strong. He's handled everything thrown at him so well, Eddie couldn't be more proud. Richie was strong, nothing was in his way, he was so proud of him. So proud.

It felt like forever they were swaying, they loved it, if they could do that forever, they would. Richie was almost falling asleep with his head buried in Eddie's soft brown hair. Eddie knew they had to start getting ready, but he didn't want to stop, he wanted this moment to last forever. But, he knew he had too, so he lifted his head off Richie's chest, and Richie's head did a weird fall thing and he jumped a little, "I was falling asleep Ed's!" Richie said, his voice sounded tired. Eddie smiled, "You look like it." Eddie ran his fingers through Richie's hair with no problems. It was messy, but it wasn't knotted, it was perfect. "We need to get dressed Bubba." Eddie said softly, Richie yawned and nodded, "We sure do." in his Russian accent. Eddie rolled his eyes like he hated it, but he loved it.

Eddie was laying out their tux's as Richie sat on the edge of Eddie's bed, fiddling with the end of his hoodie sleeve. Looking back at Eddie every couple of seconds, just to make sure he was okay. He said softly, "Ed's?" Eddie softly said back, looking him in those deep eyes, "Yeah?" Richie took a deep breath, "Do you think my mom and dad hate me?" Eddie looked down, he didn't know. "I don't know." Richie's voice cracked, "Oh." he looked away, over at the wall, he wasn't going to cry. He's been weak for too long, he wasn't going to cry. Eddie would be proud of him.

Eddie pulled Richie's head to his softly by his chin, and stared into those eyes. Those eyes, the eyes that mean so much to him. Eddie leaned in, and his lips matched perfectly with Richie's. Richie felt better, felt secure. He never knew he could love someone as much as he loved Eddie. He never would've thought in a thousand years, he would be in love with someone as beautiful as Eddie. Eddie could taste tears in the kiss, and he pulled away, and looked at Richie's red face, with perfectly placed freckles.

He wiped his tears with his thumb, and Richie did a soft smile. "Go get changed." Eddie said softly and giggled a little, "No can do, spaghetti boy." Richie said in a cracked british accent, "Seriously Richie go get changed." Eddie said while laughing. He tightly squeezed Richie's hip with his hand. "Fine..I still love you though." Richie hopped to the bed and grabbed his black suit, and started hopping to the bathroom, Eddie smiled, "I love you more."

Richie and Eddie got changed, in their suits with their cute little bows. Eddie demanded to do Richie's hair, but Richie kept trying to run away, until Eddie tackled him. Running with crutches is a lot harder than it seems, Richie's already tripped over himself more times than Eddie could count. He finally gave in, and Eddie did his hair. To Richie, it looked the same as before, but he wasn't going to say anything. They were laughing together on the couch, when they heard Bev's beat up Jeep honk outside. Eddie held out his hand like the Titanic and helped his prince up.

Bev waved through her car, and yelled out, "Sit in the back!" Eddie yelled back, "Wait! We have a crippled person!" Richie yelled, "That's me!" Bev rolled her eyes and rolled up her window, as Eddie was giggling extremely. Richie crashed through the door and landed in the backseat, laughing. Stan, Mike, and Bill were in the very back, and Ben was up front with Bev. Stan said, "Hey losers, get in." Eddie climbed in after Richie and shut the door. "Hey Stan, don't be an ass to the disabled person." Richie said. Eddie punched Richie's arm softly, and then rested his hand on his thigh, as they listened to music, on their way to the restaurant that would change Richie's life.
