EDDIES POV

Eventually we stopped running, we ended up outside the library.I couldn't run anymore and I had no idea where we were going, but he looked like he knew what he was doing.. I think.

RICHIES POV
I had absolutely no idea what to do, I knew Eddie wouldn't sleep in the clubhouse because of his fear of literally everything but I also wasn't sure if my mom would let him stay at my house, she would want to know why he needed a place to stay but that would mean telling her why his mom was hurting him and I don't think I'm ready for her to know yet..

NOBODIES POV

"Richie, what the fuck are we supposed to do?!" Eddie said hoping Richie would have an answer. "I don't know! You're the one that has a plan for anything that could end wrong so how don't you know!?"
"I didn't think I'd ever run away! I don't plan for this sort of shit!" He grabbed his inhaler and started taking deep breathes from it.
"Maybe I can sneak you into my house.. through my bedroom window so my parents don't notice, just until we find you somewhere else!" Richie said nervously.
"Y-Yeah that might work!" Eddie said happily still gasping with his inhaler.
They walked to Richies house and snuck around to his backyard where Richie helped Eddie climb into his bedroom window before going around the front and going into his room.

Later in the night

Richie handed Eddie a pair of his pyjamas to wear as he hadn't had time to pack any of his own.
"Thanks.."
"No problem Eduardo"
Eddie smiled a little but tried to hide it "I told you not to call be that!"
"Sorry Eddie spaghetti"
Eddie shook his head slightly while smiling a little
Richie realised how Eddie was standing holding to his pyjamas awkwardly so he turned so he was no longer facing Eddie. Eddie placed the pyjamas down and started to undress.

RICHIES POV

I was finding it hard not to turn around because, well have you seen him? I tried to sneak a peak of him (no I'm not a creep I knew he wasn't no underwear naked) but he caught me and covered my eyes.

NOBODIES POV

"Umm.. where will I sleep?.."
"We can't take out the spare mattress encase my mom comes in so we gotta share.." Richie said while climbing into bed, Eddie shortly after. They laid face to face with only a small space between them both. "Richie?.." Eddie whispered. "Yeah?" Richie replied also whispering. "Are...are we in love?.."
Richie nodded
"What are we gonna do about it?..."
"I dunno...nothing? There's nothing to do about it.."
"I love you Eddie... and I don't think anything could change that.."
"I love you too rich..."
They kissed each other as they both smiled then Eddie turned around and Richie hugged him from behind as they both fell asleep.
