Richie's POV-

I wake up and slowly open my eyes, everything is coming back into view and I become more aware of where I am.

I look down to see my feet moving, I'm walking?! Well, I wouldn't really call this walking I'm being guided by someone.

I look over to see Eddie. My arm is over his shoulder and his arm is around my waist as he some how guides me along the side walk.

My body aches and suddenly all the pain comes back. I groan.

"E-Eddie..." I say weakly. No answer.

Is he mad at me or something? I want to make a smart comment or do something but I don't think I have the energy to.

I weakly look up to see us approach Eddie's house. He leads me up his porch and he pulls out a key from his pocket and opens the door.

He tries his best helping me up the stairs but we still stumble a little.

"S-sorry Eds...." I mumble, still no reply.

We walk into his bath room and helps me sit down on the edge of the bathtub. I wince but then sit there quietly.

      I watch as Eddie takes out the first aid kit and other supplies.

     "Wh-what happened?" I ask. Eddie finally looks at me dead in the eyes and I see a big cut on his lip.

      "You got beat up so bad you got punched out, then he went after me. He punched me once but then Mike and Bill got his away from me...." Eddie looks down as he gets to things he needs out of the first aid kit.

      "Eds I'm sorry I wasn't there for you." I say looking at him.

     "It's fine, I didn't need you. Bev did." He says.

      "Wh-what?" I ask because I am confused on what he means.

      "She was literally on the ground sobbing, I think she was just so drunk so got emotional." He says putting some ointments on a cotton ball.

      "What happened to the others?" I ask.

     "He pushed and punched Bill and Mike a few times but after that Henry gave up and left." He says and comes closer to my face and starts dabbing the cotton ball over my cuts, it stings but I can see Eddie isn't in the best mood right now so I keep my mouth shut.

      "You need to be more careful Rich." He says quietly.

       "I was just trying to help my friends ok?" I say crossing my arms across my chest.

"I never said you weren't, but you can't help your friends when you're unconscious." Eddie looks down.

       "I'm sorry." I frown.

        "It's ok." Eddie says.

"Is everyone else ok?" I ask looking at Eddie even though he's still looking down and taking out the things he needs.

      "Yeah no one got hurt to bad...." He says.

"That's good." I smile down at him and he looks up.

He blushes and gets up to put away the first aid kit.

I get up and look in the mirror "Shit Eds, I look like a mess!" I exclaim.

      "Well they messed you up pretty bad." Eddie says combing a hand through his hair.

        I sigh and look at myself on the mirror. I have a black eye and my lips all cut up.

      "Richie..." Eddie says quietly.

      I look at him, "Yeah?"

      He blushes when I look at him "Do you want to, um....sleep here tonight?"

     "Eds if you want to get in my pants you can just ask-"

       "No!" He blushes, "I don't want that I want to know if you want to sleep here, not sleep with me."

       I smirk and watch as he becomes more red, "Sure Eds, if you don't mind."

       "I'm fine with it....." Eddie says.

       I walk up to him until we're inches apart, "You're really cute when you blush, do you know that?" I smile.

       "Sh-shut up." He stutters.

       "You're sounding a lot like Bill there." I smirk.

       "Shut up." He blushes even harder. Eddie walks out of the bathroom and down the hall to his bedroom.

       I smirks and walk down the hall way behind Eddie.

         Eddie goes opens his closet and pulls out a pair of short shorts and a bang t shirt, "Um....I need to get dressed." Eddie looks at me.

        "I don't mind." I grin and cross my arms over my chest, "It's not like I haven't seen a dick before."

         Eddie blushes and looks away "At least turn around...."

        I turn around so now i'm facing away from Eddie and looking at the wall.

       "Do you want me to sleep on the floor?" Eddie asks quietly.

       "I was thinking we sleep in the same bed." I answer, "Unless I make you uncomfortable-"

         "Sure." He says blankly, cutting me off.

         "Ok." I smile to my self.

          "You can turn around Rich." Eddie says softly. I turn around and look at him.

         The band shirt is very big and baggy, and hangs down just under his shorts. It almost looks like he isn't wearing anything other than the t shirt.

          "Stop staring." Eddie says and pulls back the covers, "I'm going to bed."

        I walk over to the bed sit next to him "You're not mad at me...right?" I ask softly.

       "I'm not mad at you. I'm mad that I couldn't help." Eddie looks down at his hands.

        "Eds I don't need anyone to help me."
I smile, "I'm perfectly fine."

"Richie you're obviously not....." eddie looks away, "You're sad rich."

        "I know I am Eddie, I always have been." I sigh.

       "I just don't know how to help." Eddie whispers.

        "I don't expect you to...." I pull back the covers and lay next to Eddie.

        Eddie was slowly moves closer to me. He's hesitant at first but than he lays his head on my chest.

I blush lightly and stare up at the ceiling, "richie...." he whispers.

"Y-yes...." I respond.

Eddie doesn't say anything for a moment, almost like he's about to say something but can't.

"Goodnight."

"Night Eds...." I whispers.
