The Aftermath (Reddie)

Richie's POV

Why was Eddie having a pow wow with my mom?

"Eddie?" I questioned.

He looked distressed. What the fuck did my mom say to him?

Oh god, was she showing baby pictures?

"Richie!" he exclaimed and jumped to his feet then walked over to me. He looked really uncomfortable.

"Oh god, what did she say to you?" I questioned, "also, why are you here?"

"Fuck off I came to talk to you," he sounded annoyed but I was used to it, "besides that," he lowered his voice, "your mom thought we were dating-"

"What?!" I shrieked.

He shushed me and I glanced over to my mom, but she hadn't looked up. Her head was in her hands.

"What?" I asked quieter this time.

"Can we uh...go somewhere private to talk," he asked.

I nodded him and lead him up to my room, flashbacks of my birthday were playing in my head.

I closed my bedroom door and then started pacing.

"What do you mean she thought we were dating? Did you tell her? How-" I was panicking.

Eddie groaned, "fucking calm down, I didn't tell her she just thought that we were for reasons I don't know-"

I groaned and pulled at my hair, "Fuck!" I yelled, "Fuck fuck fuck!"

"Richie!" Eddie stopped my pacing by placing his hands on my arms.

It was embarrassing to admit that his touch affected me so much.

"You realize that your mom thought that we were dating?!"

"Uh...yeah?" What the fuck was he on?

He groaned in frustrated, "your mom already thought you were gay and was totally fine with it!" he screeched, "she fucking accepts who you are!"

"Shit," I whispered, "your right..."

"Of course I'm fucking right!" he screeched.

I raised a brow, "you need to calm the fuck down now," I smirked.

He glared at me, "shut the fuck up Tozier! I don't wanna take any of your bullshit-"

I cut him off with my lips.

He pushed me away, "what the fuck?"

"You needed to calm down," I shrugged.

He looked flustered, "and kissing me was how you were gonna do it?!"

I smirked, "well did it work?"

He turned red and I raised a brow.

"Shut up," he muttered.

"Ok," then I kissed him again.

It started soft but then he started to kiss harder.

We were full on making out, kissing everywhere, but there wasn't any thoughts of furthering this. At least for me.

I started to trail my hands up and down his body.

Just lightly, but enough to make him hum.

"Listen Eddie I'm really sorry-"

"Mom!" I jumped away from Eddie as my mom barged into my room.

"oh my god," she gasped, "oh my god," she covered her eyes.

I looked back at Eddie, I had forgotten he had somehow become shirtless in all of that, besides that I was sporting a reddening mark under my chin.

"Fuck," I muttered.

"Can you guys get decent so we can talk?" my mother asked calmly.

Eddie was beat red and quickly put on a shirt.

I straightened up my clothing and smoothed back my hair.

I cleared my throat, "all good mom," I tried not to sound like I wanted to crawl in a hole and die.

My mom had literally just caught me sucking face with my best friend.

She opened her eyes and shook her head.

"So let me get this straight," she started, "you guys aren't dating....but you're up here fucking?!" I couldn't tell if she was mad or disappointed.

I mean technically, we had never established that we were dating.

"So what are you? Friends with benefits?! Cause I am not going to be hosting your little fuck-tivities!"

My jaw dropped, "Mom! We aren't fucking!"

"Then what are you Richie?!"

Eddie was just standing there, awkwardly.

"I don't know mom!" I yelled back, "We haven't established that yet!"

Further confusion spread on her face, "wait, have you boys just started....hanging out?"

"Yes!" I exclaimed.

Then she shook her head, "I always knew you were oblivious," she sighed.

What the hell did that mean?

My mom looked at the both of us, "I'll let you boys be but please, keep the door open," then she left.

"Holy shit," I breathed out.

Then Eddie started laughing.

I turned to look at him. His face was all scrunched up and his mouth was wide open as he let out full on guffaws.

It was honestly breathtaking, I had to just take his hand and kiss the back of it affectionately. I felt so full of affection for him. How was he so fucking beautiful.

He yanked his hand out of mine and wiped it on his shirt, "coooties!" he whined.

"My tongue was literally in your mouth like two minutes ago."

He rolled his eyes but smiled slightly, "you realize you just kind of came out to your mom in a way?"

I blinked, "holy shit, you're right....weirdest coming out story ever,"

-----

Yup.

Another fucking redo.

Trust me, I will never be as much of a disappointment to you as I am to myself, and that is why I redid these chapters.

I am much happier with this version so sorry if you aren't.

Don't know what to do about that.
