a/n: a bit longer than usual if ya catch my drift ;)

It was a late Monday afternoon, and I gave up sitting downstairs just to see him. It was too chaotic. My parents had been drinking, and I couldn't stand the arguing.

I finally saw him walk past.

That's a relief  I said to myself, and let go of a breath I didn't even realise I was holding.

I only noticed for the first time today that he was wearing a fannypack. It jumped up against his thin waist, and as I was starring at him walking past (not in a creepy way, of course) I was snapped back into reality as I saw small blue tube fall out of his fannypack. He probably didn't see it or hear it because of the earphones in his ears.

I ran downstairs, the familiar yet nauseating smell of alcohol rushing past me.

I studied the item on the floor, and sure enough, it was his inhaler.

I heard footsteps crunching in the gravel underneath me, and as I bent down to pick it up, I felt a hand touch mine.

It was him.

Wow, he's pretty, i thought as I looked up. And he was.

Really pretty...

His hand reluctantly pulled back, and I picked up the inhaler, handing it to him.

'Thanks,' He tells me, offering a small smile appearing on his freckled cheeks.

I wiped off my hands on my jeans and straightened out my shirt.

I looked into his light, honey brown eyes and somehow managed to spit out 'Sure,' without sounding like an idiot.

Unless I did sound like an idiot-

Nahhhh

We stood outside my house for what seemed like forever. He sighed and raised the inhaler to his lips, pressing the trigger.

'I'd better go now. What's your name, sorry?

'Oh! Uh, Richie Tozier's my name and voices is my game. Who may you be?'

'My names Eddie. Eddie Kasprak. Nice to meet you, Richie.' He told me, a generous smile appearing on his face.

I chuckled slightly, before finally responding with 'Y'know, you can call me daddy-'

Beep beep, Richie,I thought to myself, looking down at my scuffed black Vans.

He laughed, and I swear I heard the voice of an angel.

'Why don't you meet me in the park tomorrow? You seem pretty cool,' He explained nonchalantly, and I tried my best to suppress the butterflies in my stomach.

'Sure. Well, I'll see you later, Mr Kasprak.'

'Bye Richie,'
