"I just want the bad stuff to stop Rich. I mean so much has happened, my mom punched me, you hurting, the stuff with Bill. I just.."

Richie looked down.

Eddie continued, "Richie Y-you're the only thing that keeps me sane. I feel like when I'm with you I don't need to worry anymore. I just feel alive. I just want you, I want to get out of Derry. Take you and the losers with me."

Richie pulled Eddie closer to him, and put him in his lap. "It's gonna get better soon baby, I promise. I love being with you Ed's, you've changed me, honestly. I love that, I love every second we spend together. I can't wait for our future, and it's gonna be perfect. And when we turn eighteen we're getting out of this town, all of us losers, Bill included." Richie kissed his forehead.

"Calling me baby now, huh?" Eddie mentioned. Richie's face turning red.

Eddie smiled, pulling him in my his face, softly kissing him. "I can't believe we haven't even spent that much time as a couple yet, it feels like we have for so long."

He smiled, "Do you still want to watch a movie with the losers? Even if it's scary I'll keep you safe, it's cute when you cling on to me."

"Oh shut up," Eddie giggled. He made his way off the bed, before Richie grabbed him and picked him up. "Rich, What are you doing?! Put me down!" They both laughed, and Richie spun him in a circle.

"You can't do anything to get me to put you down." Richie laughed.

"Oh yeah?" Eddie pulled his face up to him and kissed him. Richie slowly put Eddie down, and started kissing him back.
Between kissing Eddie whispered,
"Guess I found your weakness."

"We should go back to the others now Rich."

Richie sighed deeply.

"Rich as much as I want to keep kissing you, we could get caught. And plus this is Stan's room, what do you think he would say if he found us practically making out on his bed?"

Richie grabbed Eddie to exit the room, but Eddie stopped. "Uh, Rich? Can we maybe not watch a horror movie..?"

"Aww Ed's is this what you were scared of?"

"Well, I just was thinking of IT....if it came back.."

"Hey, it's okay Ed's. Its gone. Your safe with me, and you can cling onto me."

Eddie softly smiled and they headed downstairs. "You okay Eddie?" Beverly mentioned.

Eddie nodded and sat next to Richie on the couch, Stan played the Conjuring. A jump scare was about to come on the screen and Richie looked at Eddie, expecting him to jump any moment. But no he just laughed, and Richie was the one who jumped. That made Eddie laugh even harder, everyone else laughed as well.

"Oh fuck off guys!"

"Aw Rich is scared," He giggled.

Richie rolled his eyes shoving Eddie away from him, "Oh come on Rich. It's funny!"

He snuggled up next to Richie, "You don't have to be scared," He said trying to hold in his laugh. Richie pouted which made Eddie burst into laughter. After the movie was finished, he realized in wasn't that bad. Yet he still hung onto Richie throughout the whole film.

Eventually they all started playing games, one of them came to never have I ever. All the losers sat in a circle, holding up five fingers.

"I'll go first!" Bev yelled.

"Never have I ever been kissed."

Beverly put her finger down, as well as Richie, Eddie and Stanley?

"Well god damn Stan the man had a kiss! Who was it?!" Richie giggled.

"You can't ask that! Besides it was in grade 5!"

"My turn!" Eddie said. "Never have I ever cried over being hurt by bowers."

Eddie put one finger down, Beverly, and Ben. Richie put a finger down, which made them surprised.

"I'll go now," Richie insisted. He stayed silent for a moment.

"Never have I ever been in love. O-or are in love..."

Eddie looked at Richie, with a warm smile on his face. Ben put his finger down, while he looked in Beverly's direction. Bev put one finger down, and Richie. To his surprise Eddie did too.

They made eye contact and started blushing.

"Alright Guys.. Never have I ever been picked on by bowers in front of people."

Mike put a finger down, Stan, Eddie, and Ben. Eddie looked at Richie, he looked nervous and quiet. He then put his finger down.

Stan then went, "Never have I ever fell for my best friend." Stanley laughed looking at Richie, the others along with him. Richie blushed, and put his finger down, so did Eddie.

"Ha you lose!" He laughed, Eddie had all of his fingers down."

He groaned and sat on the couch listening to the rest of them continue the game. Night came and the losers drifted to sleep. Eddie and Richie lay next to each other in a sleeping bag.
