Eddie's POV:
I had been forced inside for the past week and only allowed outside to go to school due to my overprotective mother having one of her moments and fearing I'm going to get myself hurt or sick. I'm starting to get tired of this.
I'm currently getting ready for bed having done nothing today except homework, and 'taking' my stupid pills.
As soon as I had finally started falling asleep, I hear a weird tapping at my window. I freak out and grab my pepper spray, honestly glad my mom gave me this.
I slowly make my way to the main window that the tapping was coming from, and barely peak out of it to see Richie standing in my lawn with a pile of pebbles from my mom's garden and a annoying goofy grin on his face. I roll my eyes and open my window.
"Jesus, Richie, those are my mom's rocks, she's going to kill you if she catches you!" I whisper yell at him as I help pull him into my room through my first story window. He just laughs, "Oh Ed's, if she knows it's me I doubt I'll get in much trouble, you know her and I are In love-" I cover his mouth with my hand, "Shut the fuck up Richie, now tell me quietly why you're here, you know I'm not allowed out, especially not at this time?!" I question him and uncover his mouth.
"Well, my lovely spaghetti, I thought I would sneak you out for a little." He answers with a cocky grin.
"No way, Rich. My mom would kill us both and then kill me again in the afterlife."
I reply. There is no way I'm sneaking out. Even if I get to be with Richie...
He gives me the sad puppy dog eyes, "Please, Eddie, I promise it will only be for an hour and if your mom catches us just tell her I kidnapped you or something." He begs, "Plus we've barley hung out all week, I miss you."
I look away from him and cross my arms. "Richie, I can't, it's too risky."
He grabs my hands, "Pretty please, it'll be fine, I promise!" He say's a little too loudly, "Fine, one hour, but for the love of god shut up, and could you kindly get out so I can get dressed?" I finally give in.
He smirks, "Are you sure you don't want me to stay?" He winks at me, I just blush and smack him over the head, he laughs apologizing, and leaves my room and back out the window.
I get dressed and go to grab my fanny pack; you know what. Fuck it. I don't even need all that stuff. It just contains my pills and inhaler, all bullshit items.
I climb out of my window with the help of Richie, he grabs my waist pulling me down to the ground. "Thanks, Richie." I say.
I land safely on my feet, Richie's hand still on my waist. I look up at him, him looking back down at me. I break out of his grip once I realized how close we were, "Uh I need to make sure to leave my window unlocked before I close it." He agrees, looking away from me awkwardly.
I close my unlocked window. "Alright, we have one hour, no less no more." I state.
He turns back towards me and grabs my hand and starts pulling me with him. "To the quarry!" He yells and pulls me along. I smile nervously, unsure how well this is going to go.
We soon make it to the quarry, laughing and giggling at some jokes we were making about my protective mother.
"Alrighty, we're here, Eddie spaghetti!" Richie says proudly, releasing my hand.
I stand at one of the rocks looking up at the sky, the stars were so bright and beautiful tonight. "Wow, Rich. It's so beautiful out!" I say amazed.
Richie snickers, "Almost as beautiful as your mom." Richie replies. I sigh, "Seriously, can you be serious for one minute. God." I say annoyed.
He looks down. "Sorry, Ed's, I was going to say not as beautiful as you." He responds embarrassedly. I roll my eyes, "Yeah right, you're just trying to sound good." I just shake my head and go back to looking at the stars.
He steps back a little, "I was being serious, Eddie." He speaks up. My eyes widen at his words and I blush a little, "Oh, thanks I guess." I thank him, unsure of what to say, and to be honest, I'm hoping he's actually being serious.
After a few minutes of uncomfortable silence while sitting down, I speak up, "By the way, why did you want to come here tonight?" I ask trying to break the silence. He looks up at the stars, "Because, Ed's, I quite in joy it here at night, it's peaceful, and I also sort of maybe have something to tell you." He admits.
I look over at him, "What is it you wanted to tell me, Rich?" I question.
He lets out a shaky laugh and rubs the back of his neck while still looking up at the stars. "Well you could either hate me after this and our friendship could be completely ruined, or things could actually go well." He lets out. I smile at him, "C'mon, you can tell me anything, you're my best friend, nothing will change that." I state truthfully.
Really though, I doubt anything Richie says could ever ruin our friendship.
He takes a deep breath in, "I like you, Eddie." He spits out.
I give him a funny look, "Yeah I like you too, Richie."
"No, Eddie. I actually like you. Like I want to kiss you every time I see you, that kind of like." He confesses, my mouth just hangs low, "Oh." Is all I could get out.
I can't believe it, this is incredible. It better not be a joke.
"Yeah, I'm so sorry I probably just ruined everything; you hate me now don't you. God I just messed up, please forgive me, just forget everything I said." Richie rambles, I grab his shoulders pulling him out of it.
"Richie calm down. I honest to god feel the same way." I confess back to him.
He looks me in the eyes, "Really?" He asks unsure if I'm telling the truth. I just nod.
"Can I kiss you?" He asks, I look him in the eyes, and I slightly smile while nodding again profusely.
He slowly leans in; I do the same. He then connects our lips, I move my hands from his shoulders and place them on both sides of his face, pulling him in closer.
He grabs ahold of my hips.
After a few moments we pull away, he leans his forehead onto mine. I just smile at him, "God, I've been wanting to do that for so long, Ed's. Aren't you glad you spent another few minutes out here with me?" He questions, I look at him confused.
"What?" I ask, "Your time limit?" He answers. My eyes widen once again. Fuck. I look at my watch and see it's been twenty minutes past the time limit I set for myself.
"Damn it! I need to get home!" I yell and get up, patting down my butt. Richie gets up and laughs a little. "Let's get you home, Spaghetti."
We soon make it back to my window; Richie helps me up into my room and just stands there on the other side. I get in a check to see if my mom's still asleep which to my luck she is. I head back into my room and quietly close my door; I walk over to my window.
"Thank you, Rich, I had a wonderful night." I bend my head out towards Richie and give him a peck on the lips and pull back into my room, "Oh c'mon, Ed's, only a peck?!" He winces. I smile shaking my head.
"Goodnight, Richie." I close my window; he smiles and waves goodbye walking away.
