~10:34pm

The group of the 7 children were all ready to get into bed and try get some sleep. The whole group had spent the hours in the tent by playing games like the truth or dare, exploring around the campsite, going to the shop now and then and buying a bunch load of snacks but also playing tag on the way there. It was fun, but tomorrow was gonna be more exciting. A day by the lake was gonna be perfect for them.. But for now, they needed to get into bed. There was a single extra blow up mattress that Mike was sleeping on but it didn't have its own room (Mike didn't mind). Bev and Bill and Stan were sharing the bigger room in the middle which had a double blow up bed and a single one (obviously Bill and Bev slept on the double and Stan slept on the single). Other than that, there was two other smaller rooms. One of them had two single beds and one of them had just one. As much as Eddie wanted to stay in the same one as Richie, he didn't want to make himself seem eager to sleep in the same room as him, so Ben and Richie slept in one room while Eddie slept in the other room.

Richie's pov:
It was now almost 11, i could hear the whispering from the room that Bev, Bill and Stan were sleeping in. Although i wanted to chat to Ben, he was fast asleep and so was Mike. I'm not so sure about Eddie, so i decided to text him. What's the worse that could happen?
End of pov

Eddie stayed quietly in his bed without moving, he had gotten comfortable and didn't want to ruin the coziness. He then noticed the zip get yanked down until the boy with brown, messy curls was standing outside with a smile. "Wassup Eds," Richie said as he walked quietly into the room.
"I was reading my book.."
"Cool. What book?"
"Stop asking questions if you don't care."
"I'm just starting conversation." Richie sat himself on the bed near to where Eddie's feet were. "Watch it man, you almost sat on my fucking feet," Eddie giggled as he wriggled a tiny bit away. Richie was laughing at Eddie's words until his smile went away randomly, he looked sad. "Come sit next to me dickhead and get under the cover, i bet you're cold," offered Eddie happily. Richie then grabbed himself to sit next to the boy and pulled his body under the over and they both sat there silently. Eddie could see his lips shiver as if he was about to break down into tears. "Rich... Are you okay?" Eddie asked. Richie wasn't okay.. He felt confused and scared, mostly confused. "Yeah. I just feel a bit down," Richie replied quietly.
"I bet i could cheer you up.."
"How?"
"....Ill give you a balloon." Eddie instantly saw Richie's face lit up, small giggles were being let out. "You idiot.. I'm supposed to be the one to make you laugh when your sad, not the other way round!" Richie looked much happier, Eddie was very good with cheering people up when they felt down. "You're not the only one who can make others laugh," joked Eddie as he slightly nudged Richie's shoulder with his elbow. Richie then looked round to the small boy and began to tickle him... Eddie hated being tickled but so did Richie, so he tickled him right back. The two boys were filling with joy as they wriggling around the bed trying to tickle each other. Richie then grabbed tight of Eddie's hand and began tickling him without stopping. "Ahhhh no richie! Stoppp," Eddie laughed. "No actually stop nowww," he laughed some more. Richie then stopped (while still holding his hands to stop being tickled) and Eddie was laying back on the blow up bed, Richie was sitting on top of him with his head leaning down. "Eddie.." He said softly. The laughter stopped, Richie's eyes were darted at one thing and one thing only.. Eddie's eyes.
"Yes richie?" The boy replied quietly. Richie didn't reply, he stayed sitting on top of Eddie. He was nervously biting his lips until he stopped and hesitated before answering. "I'm sorry.."
"For what?" Eddie was waiting for a reply until Richie was leaning in. He was doing it more slowly than any of the other times, Eddie felt as if it was in slo motion. His breathing was heavy, his palms were becoming sweaty and his words were stuck in his mouth not being able to say anything. But he did something, he moved his hand from his side and pressed it against Richie's chest. He slightly pushed him away and looked down to his pillow. "Eddie, why-"
"Because.." Eddie began quietly and seeming quite upset. "You can't keep kissing me with no explanation.. I can't just be your booty call.. This may be upsetting you Rich but, it's upsetting me too. The confusion. The-" Eddie stopped talking as he felt Richie's head lay onto his chest. Richie moved his hands so they were awkwardly holding each other. Eddie could hear little sniffles coming from Richie and felt tear drops fall onto his skin on his chest. "I like you eds.. I really like you," Richie confesses as he kept his head on Eddie's chest. The small boy stayed quiet, he just didn't move and let Richie cry with his tear drops to continue to fall into his skin. His hands were running through Richie's brown, messy curls while the other hand was holding onto Richie's. Richie didn't want to move but neither did Eddie, the two boys didn't speak or move or anything. They just laid in silence until they both drifted away. Their eyes closed and fell asleep like everyone else was in the tent. "Goodnight Richie," Eddie quietly spoke just before he fell into a deep sleep..
