Everyone was silent now. It stayed this way for a long time, or at least, what the group would have described as a long time. It stayed this way until Eddie couldn't handle it anymore. "Guys, please don't be mad at us!" There was a pause. "Say something! Please." Eddie felt his chest tightening and he began to breathe uneasily. Richie grabbed his inhaler, holding it up to him and pulling the trigger twice. "You're gonna be ok, Eds. Just breathe. They love us. We know that." Richie softly comforted, almost trying to convince himself of his words as he spoke. He turned to the group, all eyes on him. He was met with a hug, an amazing hug of excepting friends. Stan smiles at Richie, pulling him into another hug, this time, a group hug. "I'm so proud of you, Rich!" Stan whispered to him silently. Richie giggled. He knew they would understand.
"How long have you known?" Bev asked. "Do you ever not know?" Eddie asked, looking at Richie and blushing. "I guess I started finding out when all the clown stuff happened." Richie didn't remember much about the events, none of them did. It was like it had been erased from their minds. The group talked about random stuff until bill suggested truth or dare.
It came to Richie's turn. Fun. "R-r-Richie, truth or d-dare?" Bill asked.
"Dare"
"I d-dare you to k-kiss Eddie"
"WHAT!?!? I WILL NOT!!! HOW DARE YOU!!!! Oh, stop, stop! If you insist! Geez Bill! Calm down!"
Richie leaded over time Eddie and held his face, looking into his eyes.
"I can't BELIEVE you're making me do this!"
Richie kissed Eddie, leaving him speechless and blushing for the next three rounds.
That was a good night. If only things could stay like this forever.
But, things aren't always easy in love.
A/N - I promise I'll give them a few more happy chapters before things start heating up. ❤️.
I don't do sad endings.... pennywise will not be sinking our ship in this fic.
