Bestfriends twin // Reddie

Eddie hummed setting the dining room table. 'So, I met Rachels twin.' Sonia went a bit quiet. 'Stay away from him, he's...' Eddie half-cocked his head. 'He's what?' Sonia sighed. 'He's sick Eddie bear, he'll get you sick.' The saying "curiosity killed the cat" run through Eddie's head not wanting to press onto his mother but still asked. 'How is he sick mummy?' She answered dishing dinner onto the plates. 'He likes men, he's sick.' 

Eddie looked down unhappy at the reply he got, he sat down silent as she said. 'I forbid you from talking to him.' Eddie nodded not wanting to go against his mothers' word. 'Alright mummy.' 

Days went on and Eddie went over to the Tozier home, Rachel was going to be getting there soon and just told him to come over and get ready, Eddie was wearing long high wasted jeans with a pink jumper that was tucked in, it had little flowers across it which Eddie loved about it. 

His mother was out of the house when he left so he was wearing lip gloss with winged eyeliner and a lot of blush. He loved makeup just couldn't let his mother know it, he used his key which they got him and let himself in, he jumped seeing the boy he wasn't allowed to even breath near walking across the kitchen in just boxers. 

He had his back turned to Eddie so he decided to just set up in the kitchen, it was right by a big window and had a lot of lighting. He pulled out his stuff as he heard a jump. 'What the fuck?!' Eddie turned his head making eye contact. 'Uh, sorry! Rachel told me to come over and set up...' Richie nodded walking over. 'Alright, what are you two planning on doing?' Eddie answered putting his makeup on the table setting it in what it's meant for.

Then it's brand.

Then it's colour.

And just, going completely crazy on sorting them. 'Well, Rachel has a date...so, I'm going to do her makeup and clothing! And I'm staying the night, for when she gets back...you know. So she can tell me everything. Now, leave me alone.' 

Richie shook his head. 'Nope! Who's the guy?' Eddie answered. 'Not sure yet, she's telling me soon...but come on! My mama would come and murder me if she knew I even apologized to you!' Richie groaned. 'God! She acts like I'm terrible, please tell me you're gay! The biggest homophobe in towns only son being into guys, that'd be funny.' Eddie rolled his eyes ignoring him. 'Are you?' Eddie shook his head. 'I'm straight.' 'Oh well, your ass looks great in those jeans too bad.' 

Eddie went red to the comment turning around ready to chew him out as the door opened. 'What did I.-' Rachel cut herself off. 'Jesus Christ what the fuck did I walk into?!' Eddie said flustered his entire face warm. 'Nothing I swear! I walked in and he was like this! I'm setting up!' Rachel laughed. 'Alright! You look cute.' Eddie smiled at the compliment only to turn around and feel a hand on his ass, he turned around confused. 'Uh? Please remove your hand from my butt.'  

Rachel sat down. 'Come on! Do my makeup instead of talking up my brother!' Eddie nodded quickly turning around. 'Alright! Alright!' After about 2 hours, Rachel left in a black dress and heels with her hair done nicely by Eddie, Eddie went up into Rachels room sitting down on the bed only to hear yelling from downstairs, it was very odd and uncommon. He ran downstairs to see Richie fucking around with a guy and a girl Eddie didn't find common, he had seen them a couple of times at school but didn't actually acknowledge them.

The guy went quiet as the girl asked. 'Is that?..' Richie nodded. 'Yeah, the Sonias kid.' The girl gave him a cold look. 'Why is he.- You didn't?!' Richie laughed nudging the girl winking. 'Of course, I did.' Eddie asked putting his makeup away. 'What did he do?' Richie answers. 'Fucked you of course.' 

Eddie jumped. 'No! I didn't! You didn't!' Eddie chucked a book at him. 'That's literally the most disgusting thing on this planet! Do you have any idea how sick someone can get from kissing let alone sex!' They started laughing uncontrollably, Maggie walked down humming. 'Richie!- Oh! Hey Bev, Stan. Eddie! You aren't? You know how your mum...' 

Eddie nodded. 'I'm just going to head to Rachels room, just got a little worried...' Maggie nodded giving him a quick goodnight hug, she whispered in his ear. 'Nice makeup sweetie.' Eddie smiled running upstairs, he took a shower, brushed his teeth and put on all his creams. 

He laid down opening his phone to see a message.

Rachel 💖
"Staying the night, just sleep in my bed." 

"Ow serious): I want details when you get back though!"

Eddie sighed laying down in his only friend's bed, he looked up at the ceiling thinking everything through, he laid there as the sound of the clock kept him awake. He looked over and noticed it was already 2 am, he stood up and went downstairs to grab a drink of milk, as he opened the fridge the cold air blew onto him making him jump a tiny bit. He felt arms wrap around his small figure feeling hot air against his ear. 'Can't sleep?' Eddie nodded turning around. 'The clock was driving me mental.' Richie nodded a bit looking the boy up and down licking his lips. 'So...' 

Eddie just watched his face noticing Richie's face edging closer to his, Eddie went on instinct and wrapped his arms around the back of Richie's neck playing with the loose curls around the back quickly gripping pulling his face to meet his. They stood there for 30 seconds having their lips pulling against each other, Eddie was the first to pull back, he moved his hands back pushing Richie off him. 'Your...your sick.' Richie said visually confused. 'Sick?'

Eddie nodded moving back closing the fridge. 'You like men.' Richie rolled his eyes. 'God, you kissed me.' Eddie shook his head. 'I was caught off guard.' He walked back into the room turning the god awful clock off. It was all that dumb clocks fault.
