Chapter Eight🍫

Richie slung his arm over Eddie. "You ready Eds? Tonight is going to be the most spectacular of spectacular nights!"

"Yeah, remember what I told you?"

"Yeah yeah, keep it calm. Pshh, tell me to be more normal and I'll turn into Stan."

"But Stan's awesome."

"But I'm awesome-ER."

Eddie laughed and rolled his eyes, "whatever you say, Rich. But you aren't."

"Shit, I gotta tell Stan I'm going to your house!"

"Why? Would you have to get your stuff anyway?"

"No, I never bring anything. I'll be back Eds, wait by the bikes."

Richie ran down the hallway and headed outside. Eddie kept walking but headed to the bike rack. He sat down against the school and found Richie talking to Stan. He was just as energetic with Stan as he would be with Eddie. Richie was trying to hug him, but Stan was hitting him and backing away. Eddie felt a wave of sadness wash over him. He didn't even know why.

"Hey Spaghetti! Ready to go?"

Eddie looked up, "I've been waiting for you, what do you think Trashmouth?"

Richie smiled, "race you there!"

Richie hopped on his bike and started pedaling.

"Hey! I have a baby bike!"

"Well, you better hurry then!"

Eddie hopped on the bike and started pedaling as fast as he could. Richie was always faster than him in the first place. It's those god damn legs! Eddie started to catch up and trailed behind Richie by a few feet. Eddie broke into a smile. Richie's flannel was flying backwards like a parachute, and his hair went crazily in the wind. Eddie picked his pace up and finally got beside Richie. Eddie's legs were aching already. The bike was way too small for him, even though he was tiny.

The two set their bikes down and went inside. Sonia didn't question Richie being there, she waved Eddie over and gave him a full speech of how he needed to behave and take his medicine.

"Mom, I got it. I promise."

Sonia gave him an annoyed look, and then pointed to her cheek. Come on, not now. Eddie leaned up and kissed her cheek. He faked a bad smile to his mom and ran upstairs. Richie followed him.

"I don't understand how she doesn't see how embarrassing that is."

Richie sat his bag down, "I don't know Eds."

Eddie opened his closet and grabbed some clothes. He kneeled down to put them in his bag. Eddie felt himself lift off the ground. His cheeks burned. Richie had grabbed him and was carrying him around the room. Eddie tried pushing his arms down and wiggling, with no result.

"Put me down! Richie!"

Richie flopped down onto the bed with Eddie still in his arms. "No! Cuddle me!"

Eddie's eyes widened. He turned to face Richie. He was pouting at him. Eddie groaned and turned into Richie.

"I have to pack, Rich."
