It was the typical rainy day in Derry. That being said, it was the third day in a row it had been raining and to be honest, Eddie was bored out of his mind.  He was bored with watching looney toons and playing random board games with his mother.  He was currently in his room, sulking.  Just then,  he heard the familiar ping of pebbles hitting his window, the sound mingling with the heavy patter of the rain outside.  He checked the time, 11:40 pm.

"Eddie! Let me in, Eds! It's pouring out!" He knew that dumbass voice anywhere.  It was his crackhead boyfriend trying to get his attention.  He was gonna get sick in the cold like that. Eddie opened the window and yelled out,

"Are you serious, Rich?! You're going to get pneumonia!"

"We can worry about that later, Eds. C-Can I just come in?" Richie looked like he'd been crying.  Eddie began to worry

"Yeah, 'Chee.  Come on up." Richie took the invitation and climbed up the side of the house and into the window as Eddie ran to his closet to get a pair of Richie's dry clothes that he left some time ago.  Richie took the clothes as Eddie turned around to let him change.

"You can t-turn around now, Eddie Spaghetti" Eddie turned around and took in Richie's expression and demeanor.  Richie let out a laugh that turned into a dry sob and collapsed into Eddie's arms.  Eddie sat down on the bed and just held onto Richie.  It was strange, Richie breaking like this.  He'd never seen it happen and it worried him oh so much.  Finally, Richie calmed down and just sat there with his face buried in Eddie's shoulder.

"'Chee? What's wrong?  What happened?", Eddie started to rub circles into Richie's back, "Talk to me?"

Richie let out a heavy sigh and sat up. "It was my m-mother again, Eds.  She got drunk and was threatening me.  I had to leave her.  She was throwing things and I got scared. "  He was getting worked up again, Eddie tightened his hug and muttered sweet things into his ear as they sat there on his bed.  

"Why don't you stay at my house tonight, 'Chee?  We can just forget about her for tonight, okay?"

"O-Okay, Eds." Richie smiled at the thought of spending time with his boyfriend.  

Eddie went to grab an extra blanket for Richie as Richie went to lay down on the bed.  Eddie climbed in shortly after him,  wrapping his arms around Richie's waist.  Eddie sat up to press a kiss to an already sleeping Rich.  He sighed and laid back down.  Before falling asleep, he felt Richie shift around to face him and heard him whisper one thing,

"I love you, Eddie."

So! I tried to just make this fluffy BUT I suck at that so I added a bit of angst.  I promise I will try to post some fluffy stuff soon.  Until then!
