Eddie*

I laughed loudly as Richie tried his best to beat Mike in pull ups. He was struggling like a pansy to catch up with the strong guy.

Everyone was chanting Mike's name, causing Richie to frown and blush, embarrassedly.

I felt sad over the minor thing.

I went over, under him and grabbed his legs, helping him go up and down. "Richie! Richie! Richie!" I cheered him on.

Everyone laughed at us, us being goofy.

Richie started to catch up quickly, giggling like crazy.

I let him go as they both stopped, Mike still winning.

"Thanks anyway, Eds," he smiled, pulling me under his arm, making me smile looking up at him. "Shows who my real best friend is," he glared at the others.

"Wow! Go Mike!" Stan cheered loudly, making Bill chuckle over at him.

I yawned tiredly, gently rubbing my eyes with my fist.

"You tired, Eds? We can go back home?" Richie mumbled softly down to me as the others continued to talk.

I shook my head. "I can power through, Rich," I yawned, sending him a smile.

He smiled down at me. He let his hand fall slowly down my back, touching every possible spot along the way as it finally dropped off me. I felt giddy as he did that. Why am I so in love with this boy?

I blushed as I smiled crazily and looked down.

"You guys wanna have a movie night tomorrow? Bill asked the group.

"Why not tonight?" Stanley looked over at him.

Bill looked to him with soft eyes, shrugging. "I just feel like tomorrow would be better, since it's Saturday."

We all nodded along with him, agreeing.
Soon we all split ways. Richie and I being the last ones in our little loser's club.

I laid in the hammock, wanting to sleep here. I snuggled into the warm material, me lacking long sleeves.

"Ready, Eddie?" I heard the boy ask.

I lazily opened my eyes. "Can I just sleep here?" I groaned.

He chuckled lightly. "Eds, c'mon, it'll be dark soon," He hummed.

I whined. "Just for tonight? Please, Chee?" I brought out an old nickname from the past.

"It's dark, Eds. You know I hate the dark, not to mention how fucked up this town actually is." He sighed out.

I frowned up at him. "At least I have you to protect me, hmm?" I giggled.

He laughed for a moment. "Are you sure? We don't have a blanket, or any lights other than the dim flash lights," he said.

"Richie, please? Just this one time?" I asked.

He sighed. "Okay, Eddie," he gave in. He walked over and crawled into the hammock with me, wrapping his long arms around me. His legs intertwined along mine. I shivered at the warmth he sent to me.

I smiled to myself, resting my head under his chin, nonchalantly.

"You cold, Eds?" He hummed gently. "You can take my jacket, I have on a long sleeved shirt."

I smiled with a soft nod, humming in response.

He took it off, covering me up with it. He wrapped his arms fully around my waist, pulling me closely to him. He rested his chin on my head. "Tell me if you decide you want to go, okay, Eddie?"

I nodded. "I will."

I felt so warm and safe in his arms.

*___*

I suddenly woke to an eerie feeling. I frowned as I couldn't see anything. The only thing I could make out was Richie's body and the hammock.

I felt my heart race as I heard weird noises coming from out side. I felt so scared. My eyes made out scary faces with the weird shapes. I felt my eyes brim with tears.

"Richie?" I pushed him awake. "Chee!" I cried.

He jolted awake, almost falling out. "Eddie?" He sat up quickly. "What is it? Are you okay? Did something happen?"

I sniffled. "I want to leave, Rich. I'm scared." I held back my sobs.

He went over to the side wall and grabbed a flash light. He grabbed my hand and tugged me off the hammock and out of the club house.

I shivered as we walked through the woods. "I'm scared," I whimpered, trying not to look up into the dark woods.

He stopped us, grabbing both my hands and pulling me forward. He picked me up, making me gasp, not to mention blush.

He quickly walked us through the woods, struggling with the flash light.

I kept my arms around his neck, face in his neck, trying not to cry and have a panic attack.

"You're okay, Eds. I've gotcha," Richie rubbed his hand over my back. "You're okay. I won't let anything happen to my Eddie." He kissed my head.

I felt myself smile, as crazy as it seemed, i felt in love with him even more. He's the best.

We soon reached a side walk, lit by street lights.

I looked around, feeling myself calm down. I sighed, relaxing. "I can walk now," I yawned.

"You sure?" He hummed.

I nodded tiredly. He let me hope down, letting me hold the flash light just Incase I got scared again.

He pulled me close to him, under his arm as we walked back to my house. It was a short ten minute walk from the club house to mine.

I smiled, feeling that familiar warm feeling flow through my body as Richie rubbed his hand over my arm, trying his best to keep me warm.

We reached my house, us both running inside quickly, locking the door and running to my room, locking that door too.

I looked at Richie. "Thanks, I know I'm a baby."

"Aww," He cooed, pinching my cheeks. "My baby, Eddie bear!"

I chuckled. "Fuck off!"

He smiled. "Let's get in some comfy clothes and then crash, hm?"

I nodded.

We both quickly changed, him in a pair of sweat pants, shirtless. I slipped into one of his shirts and pair of shorts.

We both tiredly crawled into my bed, instantly embracing one another.

I covered us up with my big comforter.

I looked up tiredly at Richie. "Good night, Chee." I yawned for the millionth time.

He smiled, gently caressing my cheek. "Sleep tight, Eds." He kissed my head, wrapping his arms around me after setting his glasses aside.

I smiled as I drifted to sleep.
