Love Is Love/reddie fix it fic

hotel room

     "It's your turn to shower, you smell like shit.", Eddie stood by the doorframe that led into the bathroom. He was already dressed in his sleeping attire although his wet hair made the fabric on his shoulders damp.

     Richard sat up on his bed, and glanced at Eddie with a pleading look. Eds shot back a look of authority in response. "Alright, alright.". Eds smiled, and walked towards his bed.

(There are two beds if you must know, chill your hormones)

     Richie's phone rang. Obviously if it had been someone Eddie wasn't familiar with, he would've left it ringing, but he knew exactly who it was; so he picked it up.

     "Hey Mike."

     "Eddie?"

     "Yeah, Richie's in the shower."

     "Oh. I just wanted to check up on you guys."

     "Oh. Thanks Mike, that's sweet."

     "You must be heading home by now, right?"

     "Yeah... we're in a motel right now though."

     "I figured."

     "Right.", he paused as the awkwardness filled their conversation. "So, moving to Florida? Rich told me about that."

     "Yeah, actually, I'm going to drive down there tomorrow to check for affordable places to live, moving is a long process." Mike said cheerfully, you can't tell he was exited for that. Eds couldn't help feeling happy for him. "When you get home, tell me how it is, say hi to your wife for me."

     "About that," Eds stopped trying to find the right words to use, "I might or might not ask for a divorce."

     "Really? How come?"

     "For one thing, I'm gay and I don't love her. And for another, I might've... kissed, Richie."

     "Holy shit!"

     "Yeah."

     "I'm so telling the other losers.", Mike chuckled in between his words. That made Eddie chuckle as well.

     "Is that my phone? Who was calling?" Richie said, his hair looking longer as water dripped from his head to the floor.

     "It was Mike, so I answered."

     "Oh cool. Put it on speaker.", Rich smiled. Eds did as he was told. "Hey Mikey."

     "Hey Richie, Eddie just told me that you too are now dating or something.", Mike teased. Eddie turned red.

     "I didn't say that.", Edward said defensively.

     "Well I mean, we just kissed, but if he wants to make it official..." Richard trailed off on his words for effect, "... I mean, I'm not complaining.". And oh boy, if Eddie wasn't already red.

     "Really?", Eddie sounded surprised, even though he didn't have a reason to be surprised. Mike's laughter rang through the cell phone.

     "I'll leave you too alone, keep me updated." Michael chuckled, and hung up.

     Richard laughed, "Awe man Eds, you look hella red."

     "Shut the fuck up!" Eds was trying too hard to act annoyed but his huge smile didn't hide shit.

     "Alright, alright." Richie chuckled, "let's go to bed now, you have a big day tomorrow."

     "What big day?", he was so oblivious, Richie just shot back a look. "Wait, ohhhh. That."

     "Yeah that.", Richard then turned off the TV and switch off the lights, and tucked himself in his bed.

     Meanwhile, Eddie stayed awake unable to sleep. Is it possible he heard me talking about divorce? Pretty sure he did. Should I go cuddle with him? No, stupid, we're not at that level yet. Eddie later let his ongoing thoughts lead him to a restless slumber.

*time skip to the next morning*

     "Wake up dipshit, we're going to Denny's.", Eddie groaned as he processed the words.

     "What's the fuck dude." He rubbed his hoping to wake up bit. "You're still wearing the same clothes? Have you even washed it once since you got to Derry?" He winced a bit as he sat up.

     "Hey, I know it's gross, but the only things I brought to Derry was a toothbrush, pajamas, and a charger." Richard replied defensively. Eddie stood up and grabbed one of his suitcases and digged in to picked out some jeans, a T-shirts, and a grey hoodie.

     "These were a bit big on me, not sure how they'll fit you. But, it is better than what you're wearing at the moment.", Richie just looked at him dumfounded. Eddie smiled at him with love in his eyes and then turned his head to look at the floor. "Imma go change in the bathroom."

     "Alright, but pack up afterwards cause we're going to Myra's after Denny's."

(I know this was short as hell, my bad)
