Richie has changed.

These passed months, Richie has been acting like a complete jackass. Even though that was just Richie being himself, Eddie have noticed that this isn't the dorky jackass Richie. This was an actual, stupid jackass Richie and Eddie hated that.

Eddie looked intently how Richie walked out of their bedroom with dark bags under his eyes and dilated pupils.

"Morning" Eddie said, not cracking a smile on his lips.

"Morning lovebug" Richie scratched his neck and glanced at his fiance.

"It's 12 pm" Eddie stated.

Richie glanced at the clock and nodded. "So it is."

Eddie pursed his lips and began to get angrier. "You never sleep this late."

"First time for everything" Richie crooked a smile and was about to go to the bathroom, but Eddie let out a huff through his nose.

"Richie!"

"Yes?" the taller one turned to his loved one with a questioning look.

"Stop being like that and tell me why are you acting so weird" Eddie stood up and was about to continue his rant, but the phone cut him off.

Both of them turned to the phone, which was ringing on the counter.

Richie glanced at Eddie, before walking to the phone and picking it up. "Hello?"

Eddie crossed his arms and pouted. He sat on the couch and picked up a magazine and pretended to even care about the women's underwear what they were showing in the cover.

"Yes this is he" Richie sighed to the phone. He was quiet for a moment, only humming in response, until finally, his lips parted and the grip on his phone loosened.

"Uhm...yes I'm still here" Richie swallowed. "I uhm...Yeah...Just...Okay, bye"

Richie carefully put the phone back down and stared at it for a moment.

"Who was it?" Eddie asked, peeking his head from behind the magazine. "Baby?"

Richie didn't reply to Eddie. He let go of the phone and headed towards the bathroom, face serious.

"Richie?" Eddie asked concerned and watched how the tall figure passed him and disappeared into the bathroom. Eddie heard him opening the cabinet and going through stuff.

He quickly followed his fiance and saw Richie ramming through the pill bottles, as in trying to find something particular.

"Richie" Eddie said a bit louder.

"What?!" Richie asked, panic raising in his throat.

"What are you doing? Who was that?" Eddie tried to grab onto Richie, but the other just yanked himself away. "What are you looking for?"

"Where's the oxymorphone?!"

"I threw it away! It was empty!" Eddie said confused.
