Eddie slept with Richie again that night, despite his confusion. He couldn't bear the terrible nightmares sleeping without him brought. The next morning, Eddie's alarm beeped loudly. Richie groaned and buried his face into Eddie's hair. "Just five more minutes," he muttered. Eddie wriggled himself out of Richie's death grip and shut the alarm off.
"Get up Chee, we gotta go to school." Richie slept on. "CHEEEEEEEE!!!! RICHIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!! WAAAAAKKKEEEE UUUUUUPPPP!!!!!" Eddie yelled, shaking Richie vigorously. "I'm up," Richie moaned, rolling out of bed. They got ready quickly so they'd have time to hang out before they had to leave. "Eddie, how am I supposed to tell the rest of the Losers I'm staying with you? Since they don't know..." he trailed off, but Eddie knew what he meant. "Tell them honestly. I know they aren't gonna judge you," Eddie said. "I'm not so sure Eds..."
"I am. It'll be fine." They rode their bikes and met up with the Losers as usual. "Hey guys," Richie said nervously, gripping the strap of his backpack tightly. Unthinkingly, Eddie took his hand to help comfort his friend. "Hey Rich. What's up?" said Ben. "I have something to tell you." "W-w-what is it?" Bill asked. Eddie squeezed Richie's hand. "I'm... I'm gay," Richie finally blurted. "Oh. Okay. So are you and Eddie a thing?" Mike asked, while Beverly squealed, "MY SHIP!"
"NO!" Both boys exclaimed, faces red. Eddie dropped Richie's hand like it was on fire and stepped away from him. "Bill, you owe me ten bucks," Stanley said smugly. "What?! You were betting on my sexuality?!?!?!?!?" Richie asked, outraged. "Yeah..." Stanley said with a sheepish grin.
In Class
Richie was trying to pay attention. He really was. But he couldn't with Eddie sitting in the desk next to him. He had a strong urge to touch him and was desperately trying to ignore it. Finally he gave up and put his hand on Eddie's jean-clad knee. Eddie stiffened from shock, but relaxed a few seconds later. Richie's hand was slowly creeping up Eddie's thigh. Sneaking a look, Richie noted Eddie's face was bright red and he was staring at Richie's hand. Richie pulled his hand away, but Eddie caught it and put it back on his thigh.
Eddie liked the feeling of Richie touching him. It made him feel wanted, like he was worth something. The bell rang, and they both jumped. Richie immediately took his hand away, gathered his things, and departed at high speed. Eddie's brain was whirling as he left the classroom. What did this mean?!?!??! He needed answers. In the next class, he pondered what he should do. He was good at making lists. Maybe that was the answer. He took out a spare piece of paper. At the top it said, "Reasons Why I Might Be Gay."
Slowly, he began to write. He just hoped no one would find it.
