Eddie didn't go to school the next day, or the day after that... He stayed at home in Richie's arms whilst he tapped away at his online work. "You staying there all day?" Richie let his eyes leave the screen to look at Eddie, who was burying his head into the taller boys chest. "Yeah... I don't think I can go back, I never knew how hard it must have been... I understand why you didn't want to go back either..." his words were muffled by the fabric of Richie's shirt.
He could have gotten Richie to help him sign him up online and he could do that too. It wouldn't have been a bad idea, he wasn't completely dumb, just English. Every other subject was fine. "C-could you help me sign up for that? I don't want to fail at anything else." He lifted his head and chuckled at him. "Yeah sure, let me finish this last thing..." he squinted and pressed the final button to finish his lessons. "There, okay I'll get it sorted now..."
He tapped at the keyboard again, filling in details that Eddie was surprised Richie remembered. "Okay, you just fill out the lessons a day and then press finish. They are quite easy, and your bed is far comfort than a school seat." Richie added the last part on and smiled. The smaller boy began tapping away too, eventually finishing a few hours later...
The rest of the day was filled with cuddles and small kisses on cheeks. Best friends could kiss each other's cheeks if they wanted... but theirs felt different. There was love... that made everything okay again. All pain and suffering had left their minds and in its place sat their affection for each other.
"You'll never get bored of this book will you?" Richie asked chuckling to himself a bit. "Never, space is so mysterious and no matter how many times somebody tries to explain it they can't." He was smart. So smart that, at just fourteen years old he could answer questions the best scientist couldn't even ask. "Why?" Richie enquired. Why did they still not know. They'd sent a man to the moon, surely the would know by then. "Why is the question that pushes science forward Richie," Eddie replied wisely.
"Is there any question you can't answer Eds?"
Richie smiled softly at the smaller boy who had been answering questions for hours. Richie just loved to hear Eddie talk about space and the sea and what hides in the deep corners of both of them. "I can't answer that one," he giggled. He was quick-witted, a sign of intelligence... Richie liked intelligent people... Correction, Richie liked Eddie.
