Summer of Love//Reddie/Byler

Chapter 6

"wuh-wanna be partners?" asked bill holding Eddie's hand
"not so fast maytee!" cried Richie walking over to them "You got ole Eddo here for camping, I get the fair young lad for the canoe!"
"A-a-alright. Bye eh-eh-eddie." Said bill and then he turned away to find another canoe partner.
"what was that for dickwad?" asked Eddie
"He got to camp with you, I get to canoe with you." Said Richie shrugging
"He's my boyfriend and we're supposed to do stuff together." Said Eddie handing Richie a paddle
"Oh I see, you got yourself a hot new boyfriend and now you're too cool to hang out with your ol' seenhorr over here." Said Richie in his cowboy voice
"No, it's not that Richie. Its just that we just started dating." Said Eddie getting in the canoe "I'm sure when your girlfriend gets here you'll be like that."
"not the point." said Richie also getting in the canoe and pushing away from the bank, they canoed around the lake for five minutes before Richie decided it would be a good idea to race one of his idiot friends from camping. Eddie tried his best to keep them from tipping but all he could focus on was bill and that red-head he had chosen to canoe with, they were clearly doing a horrible job and Eddie wasn't surprised when they tipped over, but he was surprised when she kissed him. Right there in the middle of the lake where everyone could see, but Eddie was the most surprised and heartbroken when he saw that he kissed back.
"Oi! you there, save it for the wood shed!" called Mr. Martian from the dock, this made them look up and then Eddie could see that Bill was blushing, he was actually enjoying it. They swam to the shore, Bill helping the girl up.
"Richie, can we go?" Said Eddie quietly, his friend could hear that he was hurt so he put up no argument. they quietly paddled to shore and got out of the canoe, as soon as Eddie had gotten out he ran back to camp. Everybody was at their sports activity so there was nobody around.

The lookout point was sort of Eddie's place, he went there when he needed to be alone. He knew he would miss this camp although he would never admit it, three weeks in he had discovered his sexuality, gotten a boyfriend and now lost him to a girl.
"hey." It was Bill
"I saw," said Eddie still not looking at Bill.
"I know, it was a mistake." Said Bill sitting down next to Eddie on the bench
"I understood why she kissed you, but why in hell would you kiss back?" Asked Eddie clearly hurt
"I wasn't thinking." Said Bill ashamed, all Eddie did was sigh and continue looking out at the rest of camp. "I shouldn't have."
"yeah, you bet your ass you shouldn't have Bill! You have a boyfriend now! you can't just go around kissing whoever you feel like!" Said Eddie before getting up and walking away
"Eddie! wait!" Said Bill running after him
"There's noting you could do or say to make me stay Bill." Said Eddie.
"How bout this?" Bill said kissing Eddie, his hand were in Eddie's hair, his heart pounding against Eddie's chest
"Yeah, that might work." Said Eddie smiling and kissing back
