"Hi baby" Eddie smiled as Richie walked in through the door, holding a stack of letters. The raven haired beauty looked up from the letters and gave Eddie a small smile. The shorter man put down the rag he was wiping on the table and swiped his hands on the nearest cloth.

"What's that?" Eddie furrowed his brows and nodded towards the letter Richie was opening after he had put all the other letters on the table.

"Finding out finding out" Richie murmured and pulled out a piece of hard paper. It looked like an invite.

Richie was quiet for a moment, until his eyes widened and he let out a shuddered breath. "Woah..."

"What is it?" Eddie grew impatient.

"I uh...I've been invited to a gala. Apparently I'm nominated for the best comedy podcast" Richie sat on the chair and put the invite on the table.

"What?!" Eddie let out a happy gasp and wrapped his arms around Richie's neck from behind him. He kissed the side of his head and smiled. "This is crazy! God I'm proud of you"

Richie just smiled and placed his own hand on Eddie's wrist.

"Why aren't you screaming? This is amazing" Eddie laughed slightly and walked in front of Richie and sat on the other chair.

"I just..." Richie looked up at Eddie. "Sucks that mom isn't here to see it."

Eddie smiled sadly and reached for Richie's hands and rubbed his thumbs against his knuckles. "She is."

The ravenette breathed out shakily and nodded a few times. "Yeah...Yeah...she is."
It was quiet for a moment, until Richie opened his mouth again. "Wanna be my plus one?"

"I am pretty busy doing nothing, but...I'll see if I have some free time" Eddie smirked and kissed Richie's cheek. "Of course I'll come."

"Thanks Eds. Means a lot" Richie grinned.

"I wouldn't miss it any day. It's not every year when your fiance gets nominated for the best comedy podcast" Eddie got up. "This calls for a special dinner. Wanna order something?"

"Actually...could we just make something together? I like cooking with you...and seeing you get all bossy." Richie looked up at Eddie.

The other rolled his eyes playfully, but couldn't help a small smile escape his lips. "Fine. But please remember that when you're cutting cucumber in the salad, first cut it circularly and then cut it into four pieces." Eddie pointed out, where Richie only nodded in return, enjoying this side of Eddie.

Sage and Eddie were buying a suit for Eddie only about a week later. Turns out Eddie hadn't needed a suit in a while and his own had gotten too small for him, even though he was small himself, but maybe he had grown, either length or width...Either way, he needed a new suit. Sage had promised to help him.

"Can't believe you don't have a suit...I mean...When was the last time you've used one?" Sage's muffled voice rang somewhere around Eddie, who was way too caught up with his own thoughts.
