The next was quiet, Richie was more timorous than ever not to mention he became a complete klutz when Eddie was present. He found himself dropping books, stuttering like Bill and just wasn’t his trash mouth self. Eddie was apparent to his behavior; the question running through his mind was whether to ask him or not if he was okay.

After the scenario the night before Eddie got home late coming up with a ideal excuse to why he was gone for so long.“I had to help richie with his work!” Was his lie, his mother was annoyed but loosened because she knew he was getting at least some education out of it.

Richie stopped beside Eddies locker, a goofy smile on his face, his cheeks flushing red as per usual. Eddie felt his heart flutter at the sight and smiled back at him.

“Coming to sit with us again?” Eddie asked, shutting his locker as he did.

“I- uh yeah, hope that’s okay?” Richie asked nervously as he messed with his dark brown curls.

A soft chuckled released from Eddie lips, “of course it’s okay Rich,” Eddie assured him causing Richie to release a sigh of relief. Eddie couldn’t get over how nervous Richie was around him, he found it cute actually. He walked to their usual spot sliding into their seats, receiving beaming smiles from everyone.

“I see you’re joining us again Richie,” Bev greeted as Richie nodded.

Eddie picked up his tin lunchbox, he’d remember seeing Richie without lunch and packed double. He picked up the seperated sandwiches, extending his hand that had a sandwich placed in it towards Richie. Richie furrowed his brows in confusion.

“I saw you had no lunch yesterday and made you some,” Eddie smiled, showing his straight, white teeth.

Richie let out a cough, “thank you.” He smiled, taking the sandwich.

Lunch was short, eddie found himself in a deep conversation with richie. They mostly talked about Richie wanting to teach Eddie how to skate; Eddie in all honestly was terrified but wanted to try it. He desired to get closer with Richie, and place his lips on Richie's plump ones.

Class by class the day slowly went by. Richie tried his best to get close with Eddie, sitting beside him, waking him to his classes and waiting outside them. Eddie followed Richie out of the school, it was finally the weekend and both of the teens were excited.

“So eds, wanna have a boy sleepover?” Richie asked him as they rode their bikes down the quiet street.

Eddie thought for a moment, he really wanted to but his mother would be in his way, “sure, meet me at the supermarket tonight at 6pm.” Eddie explained as Richie smiled happily.

“Okay, I'll see you then Eddie bear.” Richie spoke louder as Eddie turned into house.

Richie made his way into his house, stopping outside his sitting room. His mother sat upon her seat, her eyes piercing into the television. She looked over to me and back to the TV.

“Yes Eddie?” She huffed.

“I have to go over to Richie’s house tomorrow.” Eddie spoke quickly.

“What?” His mother spat at him, confused at what he said.

“I have to go to Richies, my English teacher said he needs extra help.” Eddie explained once again.

“You’ll do no such thing.” She raised her deep voice at the scared boy.

“Please?” He pleaded, “I’ll get my work done too.”

After 10 minutes of begging his mother she gave up and allowed him, “this won’t be an every weekend thing Eddie.”

“Okay mom.” He mumbled sadly, rushing up to his room to get ready.
