RICHIES POV

I woke up with Eddie laying next to me, still asleep. It was one of the cutest things I've ever seen, but it was short lived because I got distracted.. I saw that Eddie's shirt had been lifted in his sleep, I went to pull it down so he wouldn't be cold but I noticed some bruising on his back. I pulled up his shirt a bit more so I could see how bad it was but as I lifted around half way up his back the bruised started to change to cuts...

"Holy shit.." Richie whispered quietly, but not quietly enough as it woke up Eddie.
"What?" Eddie turned to face him "Why'd you say holy shit?" He whispered a little worried there was a bed bug or something that could make him unwell or give him a disease.
"Your back... did your mom do that to you?"
"O-oh that... it's nothing. She did it a few days ago.. i can hardly feel it.." he said as he faked a smile to convince Richie it didn't hurt.
"Eddie, it still looks like it's really fresh." Richie said as he got up and started to search for something. He went into the bathroom and came back with some cream. "Take your shirt off."
"U-uh what?" Eddies face started to go red
"I've got cream to make sure it doesn't get infected and it heals faster, it should also get rid of the bruises or make them less painful." Richie explained,
"O-oh okay" Eddie said while he sat up and started to take his shirt off. Richie walked back over and sat behind him. "This might hurt a little bit okay?"
"Yeah okay.."
Richie squeezed some cream into his hand and started to rub it onto Eddies back on all his cuts and bruises, his face going red. "Ouchh" Eddie said with his face also going red. "Sorry Ed's.. almost done"

EDDIES POV

I felt my stomach roll as he called me Ed's, I pretend to hate it but really i just hate the fact he makes me feel like that just by calling me a name. I could feel my face turning really red as he touched my back.. it's weird, when we're alone he seems to be a lot more worrying and caring, and less of an asshole in general. To be honest I still couldn't believe I even slept in the same bed as him.

NOBODIES POV

"All done! that wasn't so bad, was it Edwardo?"
Richie said as he closed the lid of the cream and placed it on his nightstand. Eddie turned to face him "no, it wasn't" he said still red.
"You know, your cute when your blushing." Richie said also still red. "Yeah, so are you." He smiled a little and he leaned in to kiss Richie. There was a knock on Richies door and they quickly pulled away "Richie?! It's time for breakfast. You better be awake and dressed!" His mother shouted from the other side of the door. "Y-Yeah I'll be out in a sec!" Richie shouted "I've got also some washing for you!" She said trying to open the door but it was locked. "Richie?! Why is your door locked?! Let me in right now!"
Richie hid Eddie in the closet then went and opened the door. His mother came into the room and placed his clothes on the bed. "Why aren't you dressed?! You know what? it doesn't matter just sort out these clothes." She went to leave but then she noticed Eddies clothes neatly folded on his desk. "Who's are they?" She asked.
"Oh um... Eddie left them here a few weeks ago when the losers club all stayed over, I was gonna give them back when I got the chance.."
"Oh okay, I'll give them a wash for him so you can give them back nice and clean." She picked them up then left the room closing the door behind her. Richie helped Eddie out the closet "sorry about that.. we should probably get going for school so my mom doesn't get suspicious on why I'm not leaving.."
"But she took my clothes how a-" Eddie said getting interrupted before he could finish.
"You can just borrow some of mine."
"No no no no no, I'm not doing that."
"Come on you will look cute in them...and you have no other choice so your doing it."
