HONESTLY, RICHIE didn't want to become friends with the brunette. he started disliking the brunette because he doesn't showers with fear and run away. just stand there and look at richie like he's normal. he absolutely hated it. he grimaces at the thought of him even getting in contact with eddie. he always declined an offer or a request but for some reason, he felt different with eddie.

richie puffs out small smoke clouds out his mouth, as he was completely dying of boredom. he just beat up a kid a few minutes ago, but he doesn't feel satisfied. " oh my god! are you smoking? " a voice squawked. richie groans, as he knows the familiar 'annoying' voice.

" yeah so what? " richie scoffs. " you could get lung cancer! did you know that? " eddie panicked. " what are you? my fucking personal nurse? " richie rolls his eyes. " but you could die! "

" let it be like that then. " he replies. " if you fucking please, i'd like you to fuck off. " richie says in a 'polite' tone. " no i would not, smoking is bad for you. " richie groans, " this kid can't just leave me alone. "

eddie beamed, as he saw the lanky boy walking towards him. " you came! " he exclaimed. " yeah, i did. " he bluntly replied. " so what do you want? " " since we're friends... we could get to know each other! " he smiled. " listen here, goody-two-shoes, just because i agreed to be your buddy doesn't mean we're actually friends. " he said lowly. " can i just get to know one thing about you? " eddie pleads. " honestly, do you ever give up? " richie sighs. " all you ever do is whine like a bitch until i answer you. " he spat.

" please? " eddie murmured. " fine, i like to play the guitar. happy? " richie snaps. " that's cool! could you play it for me some time? " " what do i look like? you're fucking boyfriend? " richie scoffs. " fine. " eddie sighs.

" well... our time is almost up. " eddie stares down at his watch. " and we didn't didn't get to know each other, so i guess we're not friends? " eddie's face saddened. richie felt weird as he saw the smaller male staring up at him with sadness. " this really turned out different from what it was in my head. " eddie murmurs. eddie kept his gaze at lanky boy, lips quivering and tears fulling in the corner of his eyes. richie furrowed as he felt like pity was eating him up.

he knew this was going to be weird but he hugged the brunette. he didn't know what else to do, but he just couldn't stand the way eddie looks when he's sad. " i'm sorry. " he grimaced at the apology but he didn't want to make things worst. eddie smiles and wraps his arms around richie's neck. he went on the tip of his toes and pecked richie on the cheek. " i forgive you. " he whispered in his ear.

richie's face heats up and his mouth hangs open. " i better be going before my mom freaks. " eddie says and breaks richie embrace.

" see you around! " he exclaimed.

richie suddenly felt butterflies swarming inside of him. " holy shit, what did he do to me? " he muttered, touching his cheek.
