"How do I look, Eds?" Richie smirked, his white teeth glinting in contrast to the surrounding red on his costume. Eddie raked his eyes down Richie's body, taking in the view of his perfect costume. Richie was wearing tight, black skinny jeans with an unbuttoned red button up as a shirt. Due to the fact that the shirt was left open, a glance of Richie's stomach and chest were in view, which Eddie loved. While Richie wasn't necessarily muscular, his stomach was still strong and his collarbone and chest were defined, giving Eddie an extremely enjoyable image. On Richie's head sat two red horns, which tied the devil costume together. His wild curls swirled around the horns, giving it a realistic look. Eddie was very taken aback by this costume, as he had not figured it would look this good on Tozier. Not to mention the fact that Richie had sleek, black nail polish on, sending Eddie's heart into a frenzy. 

"You look good," Eddie smirked, standing on his tip toes to press a sweet kiss to Richie's lips.

"You look gorgeous, angel," Richie chuckled, testing out how the nickname sounded rolling from his tongue. Richie glanced at Eddie, biting his lip as he took in the image before him. Eddie had grey skinny jeans on with an open button down white shirt, exactly how Richie had it but with different colorings. Eddie's tan skin could be seen through the open shirt, making Richie melt. On Eddie's cheeks, contrasting with his freckles, were small, white sparkles. They glittered his cheekbones, almost as a makeup accessory. On top of his neat hair was a hanging, fluffy halo, completing his angel look. 

"Thanks, Chee," Eddie hummed, taking a step back from Richie. 

"You guys look so cute!" Karen squealed form behind them with an old camera. "Turn around! Let me get a picture!" 

Richie chuckled, slung his arm around Eddie, and turned them both around to face the camera that Karen was tightly holding onto. "Smile!" Karen exclaimed. 

Richie firmly held Eddie in place next to him and smirked into the camera, while Eddie grinned, leaning into Richie completely. "Silly one!" Karen cooed after she snapped the first picture. 

Richie immediately leaned down and in one swift movement, picked up Eddie bridal style. Eddie wasn't prepared for the photo, but Karen snapped it anyway. "Jesus! Put me down, Chee," Eddie yelped. Richie chuckled and set him down carefully. Eddie then walked over to Karen to inspect the photo she had just taken. 

In the photo, Richie's biceps were quite noticeable as he held up Eddie. Not only that, but Richie was giving one hell of a wink towards the camera, while Eddie was clutching desperately onto Tozier's shirt collar, scared out of his mind. Eddie's eyes were wide but there was still a hint of a smile on his face due to the surprise of being literally swept off his feet by the love of his life.

"I'll get these printed, okay?" Karen smiled at the two boys, and they both nodded and smiled back. Bill and Stan then came running down the stairs, ready to take their pictures. 

"Y'all like our onesies?" Bill chuckled.

"What the hell are you two wearing?" Richie scoffed, taking in their costumes. 

"Bill made me," Stan groaned, embarrassment evident on his face. 

"Mike said he would give me money if I did it," Bill grinned, pride evident on his face. 

"What even are they? Rainbow Bears?" Eddie giggled, amusement filling his features. 

"Carebears, and no, not rainbow. I'm blue and Stan is green," Bill corrected. 

"Nice," Richie chuckled. 

Karen snapped a few photos, and then the doorbell rang. Eddie walked over and opened the door, happy to see his other friends in the doorway. Bev stepped into the house first, her witch costume sparkly and evil. Mike stepped after her, his superman shirt and blue jeans outlining his muscular frame. Next came Ben, in his ghost busters outfit.
