            It was one of those days that Eddie was glad that they were able to stay inside. The rain had woken him up that morning, heavy drops hitting the roof and windows. It was comforting in a way, the sound of it, but he was glad they had nowhere to go. They could watch the storm from inside the safety and warmth of their home.

Richie had just gotten home the night before, returned from a short tour down along the coast. It had been late enough by the time he had come in that Eddie had dozed off on the couch while waiting for him. Richie had woken him up just long enough to awkwardly carry him to bed before he ducked back out of the bedroom to grab a snack before bed.

Now, Eddie would let him sleep in for a while. He started up the coffee pot and decided he'd make Richie's favorite for breakfast to welcome him back. It got lonely when he was gone so it had been a comfort to be able to curl up against him the night before.

Richie's things were still stacked up near the couch. His bags sitting there and his coat tossed messily over the back of the chair. It looked like some stuff had fallen out of his pockets and scattered along the floor at some point and Eddie gave a sigh. He stepped around the counter top and headed to scoop the jacket up and gather the different items back into the pockets messily. Most of it was loose change, his keys and a slightly misshapen pair of prescription sunglasses that he was lucky hadn't completely broken.

There was one thing that Eddie spotted sitting on top of the jacket almost like Richie had set it there. He frowned as he picked it up and felt his cheeks go warm; he recognized the simple rainbow-colored cock ring. He'd stopped to look at it out of curiosity when they'd made that embarrassing trip to the sex shop. He glanced towards the bedroom, wondered if Richie had left it there on purpose or not.

Eddie finished picking the rest of Richie's stuff that had been spilled out on the floor and folded the jacket carefully. He carried the small silicon ring with him though, set it on the far edge of the counter so that it'd be visible as he started to work on making pancakes from the mix in the cupboard.

His eyes strayed towards the ring from time to time as he worked. Poured himself a cup of coffee once the pot had finished brewing and stood as he waited to flip a pancake over in the pan while contemplating the colorful ring.

Had Richie picked it up that night while they were at the store and kept it from him? Had he picked it up some other time?

They had nowhere to be all day.

Eddie's attention was pulled to the hall that led back to their bedroom as Richie shuffled out looking a mess and still half asleep. He must have skimped on shaving the last days of the tour because he was looking scruffy.

"Coffee." Richie muttered the words, fortunate to get it out before it was quickly chased by a yawn. Eddie rolled his eyes but moved to grab another cup down and pour Richie some of the still hot coffee from the pot.

"Could have slept in later, Rich." Eddie reached across the counter to hand him the cup and Richie took an appreciative sip despite it clearly still being too hot. Eddie glanced towards the cock ring on the counter that was practically between them now. Richie hadn't seemed to have noticed it yet, his focus solely on the cup of coffee and the plate of already cooked pancakes on the counter.

"Nah, it's better if I get back on track. 'Sides, how could I sleep with after catching a whiff of those pancakes you're making. Are they choco...late chip?" Richie had leaned over the counter to get a better look at the plate and his elbow knocked against the ring. He trailed off as he glanced down to see what he'd hit and Eddie saw the mild look of surprise on his face as if he didn't know it existed.
