Love You Too Much || Reddie

Chapter Two

Eddies POV

I stare at Richie in shock. Maybe for a little too long, because after a while he clears his thought and says; " Well? Are you going to say something?" I feel the heat of embarrassment take over my face and turn it red. "Umm uh yeah.." I start. "Richie.. why haven't you told me before? How long have you known that you were...gay?" I asked. He shook his head. "I don't know Ed's. I guess I've always know, but decided to say something about it today." He shrugs. "Guess that was the wrong decision.." He looks back down at his shoes. A piece of his dark, unkept hair falls in his face.

I touch his shoulder. "Hey, Rich. You know, I'm not mad at you.. for being gay? I'm actually happy. I'm happy you finally know who you are. I think it's amazing." I reassure him.

He tucks his hair behind his ear the best he can given the length, and looks up at me. "Well," he smirks "looks like your awfully happy that I'm gay. Eddie spaghetti." I blushed. This time my face turned another 5 shades darker of red. He laughs. "Come on, I'm joking!"

"Haha. Very funny Chee'."I say rolling my eyes. What just happened to me? Why am I blushing so much?

A while later, about 12pm, Richie had fallen asleep in my bed. I didn't want to wake him, but I also didn't want my mother to walk in on us sleeping in the same bed. Two BOYS sleeping in the same bed. Personally, I had nothing wrong with it. But my mom was VERY homophobic.

Earlier, me and Richie had planned to tell Sonia that Richies parents were in a big fight and that it wasn't safe for him to be in the house. So he came here for the night. I really hope my mom lets you stay here... I think while looking down at Richie.

I admire his beauty for a little bit. Without his big coke bottle glasses, you could see all of his freckles spotted across his face. Richie didn't like them, but I had always thought they looked like a galaxy on his face. He had thin pink lips and long eyelashes. He's so beautiful.. and he looks so peaceful in his sleep...I thought to myself. I didn't know why I was thinking like that. I shouldn't be thinking that. HE'S gay, not me.

I genteelly slip under the covers, trying not to wake the sleeping boy. I switched off the lamp and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

Richie's POV

I woke up to the bright sun coming through the windows. I had always been an early riser. I looked to my left and saw Eddie, curled up under the covers. I smiled and sighed. Eddie has always been my favorite person in the whole world. He's been with me my whole life, through thick and thin. He was my best friend, no doubt about it.

I leaned over him to look at the alarm clock. It was Thursday, 6:45 am. School starts at 9:30 so I had lots of time. I decided I didn't want to wake Eddie up. I knew he had been up longer than me last night. I wonder why..

I get out of bed and quietly slide out the bedroom door. I headed to the kitchen to make me, Ed's, and Mrs.K some breakfast. They didn't have much food but I decided on eggs, French toast, and orange juice. I pull out the pans and bowls from the cupboards and took some fresh eggs out of the fridge. I started to cook. And quietly. I wanted to surprise Eddie with some breakfast in bed, and I didn't want to face the wrath of Mrs.K alone.

After I finish cooking I place Eddie's food on a tray I found in the living room, and put a bowl about the same size of the plate upside down on the food so the heat stays in longer. I do the same to Sonia's food and place it on the counter. I walk up stairs with the tray in hand and enter Eddie's room.

He is still sleeping so I put the Tray down on his desk and gently shake him awake. He turns over to me and rubs his eyes. Those beautiful brown eyes... I thought. He looks at me and then smiles. Oh god that smile..

"Good morning Spaghetti, I made you breakfast." I say placing the tray in his lap. He sits up and looks at me. "Thanks Chee! Did you sleep well last night?" He asks. "Oh yeah, your bed is super comfy! I could sleep in it every night." I say with a wink. He blushes. He Blushes more than I thought humanly possible.

"What about your breakfast Chee?" He asks. "Oh me?" I reply. "Yeah, I already ate. I had the same as you."

"Your a really good cook you know, you should cook more Often." He says while stuffing French toast in this mouth. Now it was my turn to blush. "Thanks Ed's.." I say

We both looked each other in the eyes for a long time. Searching for something, but I didn't know what. I started leaning in until the door burst open making me jump back.

"EDDIE?! What the HELL is he doing here?!"
