march ❀ age 19-20

it was a chilly thursday morning on richie's 20th birthday. the raven haired beauty sat up slowly in his bed- well, his and eddie's bed. the cover fell off his chest, the cold air hitting his bare skin. he immediately brought the cover back over his chest as he looked around their bedroom.

there were clothing items scattered across the floor. looks like eddie left in a rush. richie reached over to the floor to grab his shirt, which he had tossed away in the middle of the night, since it was unbearably hot.

but now richie was almost freezing to death.

he got out of bed and stretched his arms behind his back as he walked out of the bedroom. his eyes immediately spotted something on the kitchen table. he furrowed his brows and walked over to what it seemed to be a plate where laid breakfast and a box next to it.

richie also noticed a note laying next to the plate. he grabbed it and smiled as he read what it said.

'happy birthday, richie.
I had to get to school early today, which sucks cause I wanted to eat breakfast with you.
i'll be back at 2pm and then i'm all yours.
I made you breakfast. it's under the bowl just so it'd be warm when you wake up. and there's a little gift for you too.
love you
-eddie'

richie set the note down and sat down on the chair and removed the bowl from the plate. he inhaled the smell of the pancakes, eggs, toast and the coffee from the coffee maker on the counter.

"love you, eds" richie smiled before grabbing a knife and a fork and cutting a piece of pancake. he put it in his mouth and moaned at the sweet taste.

god it was still warm.

after he had finished the breakfast and poured some coffee into his cup, he grabbed the box, which was wrapped beautifully in white wrapper. there was a red bow on top.

"man you're cliche" richie muttered under his breath and removed the lid, looking into the box.

on top of a silk wrapper, was another note, eddie neat handwriting again on it.

'before I met you
I never knew what it was like to look at someone
and smile for no reason.'

richie smiled fondly and removed the silk wrapper, revealing a denim jacket, but that's not what exactly caught richie's eye. it was what was sewed onto the backside.

there was a bunch of patches sewed onto it, all colorful, bold letters saying richie's one-liner.

all the way from 'beep beep' to casual 'fuck you'.

richie was speechless as he took out the jacket and admired it.

with all the studying and tutoring, eddie had time to make this..masterpiece.

he felt over to moon. richie smirked and slipped the jacket on and walked to the mirror, admiring how good the jacket made him look.

and then, the phone rang. richie looked over at the phone which was laying on the counter top near the kitchen. he lifted the phone from it's holder and held it against his ear.
