-summer depression (by girl in red) 💞
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The two boys were at Eddie's house watching netflix. They were laying down on his bed under the covers, Richie's arm was wrapped around the little boy's body.

Eddie's pov:
How has trashmouth got me to fall for him? His stupid curls that fell from the top of his head, his glasses that made his eyes as big as the glasses themselve, oh and his fucking cute ass freckles that covered over his nose and cheek. His lips that were soft and felt so nice pressing against mine. Did this boy really turn me bi? Fuck.
End of pov

"You okay Eds?" Eddie quickly shaked away his thoughts and looked up to the boy. "Yeah. Just thinking," he replied.
"About what?"
"N-nothing. Let's just keep watching the show."
"Okay?" Richie looked back up to the tv screen as Eddie did, the boys were still in bed with their bodies pushing against each other. Eddie's thoughts had rushed around his head again, he was thinking shit like what if i'm the one who falls for him when he doesn't like me no more or is this really what love feels like? Eddie quickly pulled his body up so he was lining with Richie. He dragged his leg so it was resting on top of Richie's body. "Eds?"
"Just shut up and kiss me." Richie's eyes widened but then he instantly met his lips with Eddie's. Both of the boy's arms were wrapped around each other's bodies while they were having a cute, soft make out sEsH.

It has been 2 days since Eddie and Richie met outside the arcade and 2 days since Eddie had admitted his true feelings towards Richie. The two boys had spent the last couple days sitting at home facetiming and texting, sometimes on the groupchat but sometimes privately. Everything was going okay with them until Richie realised that they weren't even dating. fuck.. He knew asking Eddie out would probably be scary for him as he's never dated a boy before (only ever dated one girl actually) but then Richie knew that he couldn't keep acting this way with the boy if they weren't going to date. So he got out his phone and decided to text him.

10 minutes passed and the boys both met on the bench near the arcade. They were very different when they were out, they wouldn't hug or dare to kiss because of the homophobia that has been in Derry for ages. They especially didn't want to be seen doing any of that shit and get seen by Henry or any of his goons as he would know that they would be after them after that, Henry and his goons have been extremely homophobic for as long as they could remember and the last thing they wanted was to get beaten up because of their gay relationship. Anyways, the two boys were sat next to each other. "Sooo, why did you want to meet?" Eddie questioned to break the silence between them.
"I needed to tell you that we can't just keep kissing and hugging and acting like we're dating if we aren't," Richie quickly blurred out.
"Why can't we date?"
"Wha-" Richie quickly sat upright and whizzed his head round to face Eddie, his eyes widened and a faint smile was slowly showing up on his face.
"U-unless you don't want to date.."
"No! i was going to ask to date but then i wasn't sure if it would be scary for you seen as you've never-"
"We can date then. But we can't tell the others because i just don't feel comfortable with telling anyone yet.."
"Sure! Can i tell Stan or Bev? They were there for me when i was liking you for ages."
"Uhmm can you wait? Like wait for a while please?" Eddie felt so happy but his voice was quiet because of his nervousness. He felt bad for telling him that he didn't want to tell his friends but he wasn't ready for anyone to know. Richie looked down at the small boy and noticed his cheeks were red and heard how nervous he was through the sound of his voice, he thought it was cute. "Yeah that's fine... I understand." The twos boys quickly hugged but let go after a second. "I should get going home Rich," Eddie said quietly after releasing from the hug.
"Can't you sleep round? Or I sleep round?"
"I honestly would! But my mum needs me to go to the doctors with her to restock my pills, and then i need to help her sort them all out when we get back," Eddie explained. He felt bad for being busy with his boyfriend but it was true, his mom was very strict when it came to pills and shit.
"That's fine. I'll probably go and play Street Fighter some more."
"Some more? You're spending half your time inside that stupid arcade rich."
"The other half of my time is inside your mother." Richie let out a soft laugh whereas Eddie was unamused. They both got up from the bench as Richie noticed Eddie rolling his eyes at the stupid joke. "Your jokes are pathetic," Eddie giggled as they both started to walk away from each other.
"Can't wait to meet your sister in 9 months Eds," Richie yelled. Eddie let out a giggle because of the stupid joke he said but as he turned around to say anything, Richie was already inside the arcade. I'm gonna make him pay back for that stupid mom joke, Eddie joked to himself as he carried on walking to the doctors to meet his mom..
