soulmates? - reddie

The morning started great, of course it did. The two boys woke up together. Eddie played nice up until Bill left the dorm. The second Bill was gone Eddie sat up. "You told me briefly yesterday, but who the fuck was that, the one outside my dorm?" Rich was surprised, but he could understand the confusion "We were sleeping together, nothing serious." Eddie looks disappointed in the response and crosses his arms "That's what you said yesterday, but he seemed more attached." 

Richie sighs and puts his face in his hands. "Eds, sweetheart, I told him we were stopping, we knew we'd stop one day. It had only been like a week or two." He looks back up at Eddie, who's expression has softened. "Why'd you start doing, that, if you knew, you and I" Richie takes a deep breath "Myra." Eds has immediate reaction, Rich ignores it and carries on. "She convinced me you'd never like or even love me. I used, not used, I went to Connor to try and forget. 

Eddie quickly apologizes and rests his head on Rich's shoulder, leaning forward. The two smile and a kiss is pressed to Eddie's head. They stand up and Rich tries to to find a pair of black jeans and lets out a dramatic sigh. He comes out in pale blue jeans with a red floral button up, short sleeves of course. "No black at all? I'm shocked!" They both laugh and Eddie is swooped up and carried to his own dorm. "You got a dorm mate?" Eddie smirks and shakes his head.

The only reason he didn't was because his roommate found his soulmate by middle school, insanely gross. They were all lovey dovey, and Eddie is starting to emulate their life. Although, him and Richie really are cute, aren't they? Eddie thinks so. They'll end up just as cute as Stan and Patty or Bev and Ben. Richie sees the smile on Eddie's face and sets him down "Get dressed I'll grab us coffee." 

There's a party for the losers tonight (As in, watching badly rated movies and drinking until someone needs to be driven home), and Richie intends to spend as much time with Eds until then. He makes his way down to the café and orders himself an iced mocha, and a caramel frozen latte for Eddie. He guessed sweet was the direction to go, ordering vanilla scones as well. Beverly walks in, and of course, she didn't know about anything from last night. They talked, and finally Richie is called for his scones and drinks.

He walks over, Bev following. When she sees two drinks and two scones she smirks. "Two, huh? Who's the lucky man?" Richie takes a deep breath "You'll see tonight" He smiles and walks out the door, leaving Bev with a smile across her face. He knocks on the dorm door of the owner of the second drink. "Finally!" He hears from inside, the voice of the man he loves. When the door opens, Eddie's eyes glance at the bags "Are those scones?" Rich nods "Vanilla?" When met with another nod, Eddie snatches one bag and assumes the caramel is his.

"Thank you!" God, he's adorable. Richie can't help but think about how lucky he is. "We were matched, who knows why, and I doubt the system knew that I'd end up the luckiest goddamn guy on this planet" Rich says, smiling wide. Eddie presses a kiss to Richie's lips and pulls away, Richie brings him right back in. They start kissing, but by the time they get anywhere that could lead anywhere, there was a knock at the door. Rich leaned his head back and sighed, moving to sit on the bed. 

Myra was at the door, and Richie wasn't afraid of her. He needed to show it. When she started asking Eddie to take her back, leave Rich Behind, He was angry.He smirks and calls out "Sweetheart, your drink is melting" He smirks, hearing her getting angry, she tries to come in, which is when Richie gets protective. He stands up and gets behind Eds. "Is there an issue here Ladies?" Myra is understandably angry, but soon enough she gives up, and takes her stuff. Eddie sighs "The mood has been ruined." Richie shakes his head. "Nah"

The couple showed up to the party together, and the second they had hugged Bev she laughed and said "You smell like sex." Richie rolls his eyes and Eddie asks "Does sex have a smell?" Stan nods "Most definitely" Patty agrees with him, Audra agrees with her, Bill agrees with Audra and then Mike and Ben go along with it. Bev joins back in "See, sex has a smell, and you two smell like it. Rich rolls his eyes "Well so do Bill and Audra."

Everyone settles in with their partners (RIP Mike) and they settle on a movie. Eddie snuggles closer than he would've without the events from earlier. Richie Tozier liked him, Richard Tozier! He could barely believe it. Richie wasn't drinking, but Eddie on the other hand, he wanted alcohol. And he got it. "I'm taking him home, before he makes a mess." Bill smirks "I'm coming to the dorm later, don't you dare be doing anything when I get home" Rich rolls his eyes and walks his lover home. Richie helps Eddie into pajamas and tucks him into the bed. 

Once Eds is asleep Richie grabs out a pack of cigarettes and makes his way to the roof. He smokes one while looking at the skyline. He smirks and looks up. All the losers were okay with them, it made him so happy. I mean they probably could've guessed. Richie loved telling them 'what Eddie said last night' Eddie made him happy. And, he still does. He goes back down and changes, getting into bed. "You smell like cigarettes" Richie smiles "I know" 

"I love you" 

"I love you too"
