Isn't it love || Reddie oneshots

Asexual

Both Richie and Eddie are aged up to 18+ in this oneshot also this has a slight heat warning in it but nothing too intense

Richie Tozier he was known for his sexual sense of humour and his jokes about banging Eddie's mom but he had something he hadn't told anyone, not even the loser he was the closest to which just so happened to be Eddie, and it was something he didn't feel he could tell anyone because what if the other losers didn't understand. Richie was on the asexual spectrum, he didn't identify under an exact title, he had known for a while with full honesty. With his last partner he had never felt any sexual attraction towards them and he had only ever done anything because they wanted to, it was fully consensual and he would never say it wasn't though but he had never really enjoyed it or felt any pleasure or sexual feelings towards them only purely romantic, but he didn't feel as if he could tell the losers about this because of the front he put up. Keeping up his act was easy.

Or at least theoretically it was easy until he officially started dating Eddie, he was very much physically affectionate towards his boyfriend but he wouldn't go any further than that besides a few joking comments, only he was worried because he heard from Stan that Eddie had been speaking to Bill about wanting to get more intimate and he knew how uncomfortable that had made him in his last relationship. It was now date night and Richie was slightly terrified because it was going to be just him and Eddie in his house alone all night, his dad was off doing god knows what, and he was nervous but of course the trashmouth wouldn't let it show, he had kept up this act for so long he could keep on doing it now.

The remaining time passed rather quickly and suddenly Richie heard the doorbell which alerted him that Eddie was here for their date night, it was simple the plan was to just watch movies and cuddle for the whole night, he glanced at himself in the mirror and winked at himself. He did always enjoy date night with his boyfriend so he pushed his insecurities and worries to the back of his head and rushed to the door. "Spaghetti!" He announced as he opened the door and yanked Eddie into a tight hug. "That's not my name dick and you stink, did you take a shower today because you know you should take one everyday otherwise it's disgusting and germs can buil-" His rapid rambling was cut off by Richie's lips being on his in a sweet loving kiss. "Relax," He murmured in a calm tone as he pulled away, "I showed especially for you." That was definitely true. His hypochondriac boyfriend rolled his eyes but gave a satisfied nod as he stepped into Richie's house.

They were on their third marvel movie of the night, Richie insisted that they watch black panther as one of them because he found the villain extremely attractive but also thought it was a good movie so that was what started them on the marvel binge and they were now on Spider-Man Far from Home, when Eddie's hand which was rested on Richie's thigh slowly started to inch upwards at what could almost be considered a shy pace. Eddie wanted to make a move on his boyfriend and this had been Bill's advice, yes he'd gone to his best friend for help what else could he do? He didn't understand how Richie's mind worked and was honestly the boy hadn't jumped his bones the second they started dating because of the comments he made, so he decided to follow it and what better time then date night?
Richie noticed Eddie's hand, of course he did he could feel it moving, and gulped slightly. He didn't want to disappoint Eddie, this was the same he'd been with his ex-partner he had either pretended to not notice their advances or had just simply gone along with it because they didn't want to disappoint them, and he knew he couldn't pretend to not notice the hand on his thigh so he decided the best course of action to do would to be go along with it and hope his body reacted as if he was actually experiencing sexual attraction.

They weren't too far into it when Eddie noticed something wasn't quite right with Richie, he knew Richie inside and out so he could easily tell when something was wrong, he parted their lips and ran his hands down his boyfriend's back. "Rich, we can stop if you don't want to do this, I don't mind, we can wait until you're ready," Eddie spoke softly, wanting to reassure the trashmouth that he could confine in him and tell him what was going on. Richie looked up at his boyfriend, tears glistening in his eyes and threatening to fall, "That's the thing, Eds, I don't know if I'll ever be ready..." He looked back down almost embarrassed, "It's not that I don't find you attractive I do and I do have feelings for you, I mean I love you so much but I just... this isn't right, I don't feel anything and I don't know if I ever will..." This was the first time Richie had ever said 'I love you' to Eddie. The asthmatic boy just kept gently rubbing circles into his boyfriend's back, "That's okay, baby, we don't have to be physically intimate with each other. I'm willing to accept that we may never be physically intimate with each other, I love you and none of this changes that," He smiled lovingly, "I just wish you told me sooner rather than making yourself uncomfortable by going along with it... you shouldn't do that to yourself, babe, it can be damaging." The two boys spent the rest of that date night in each other's arms and watching more marvel movies together with Richie throwing in an inappropriate comment every now and again which had Eddie rolling his eyes but unable to contain his laughter. They both truly were in love with each other.

The next day Richie ended up telling the other losers everything, Eddie convinced him it would be alright and as per usual he was right, the others were of course very accepting of Richie and said they still loved him regardless, the trashmouth also promised that his sexual humour would never be stopped nor would his jokes about banging Eddie's mom be even though now everyone knew that certainly wasn't true. Mike even came out as aromantic seeing how accepting the losers were of Richie. Everything was okay in the end.
