you look cute in red

EDDIES POV
i walked out of the bathroom, smiling as wide as i possibly could. he loved me. he really, really did. and i loved him more than anything.
"what are you smiling about?" stan lifts an eyebrow and smirks.
"what? oh nothing, why?" i sit back down on richies bed, snuggling myself up under the covers.
"just wondering....." he gets up and heads downstairs, where everyone else is eating breakfast. richie walks out fo the bathroom and walks to his closet, pulling out a red shirt and handing it to me. i stand up, holding the shirt to my chest. he nods and i pull off my shirt and slide the red one on.
"you look cute in red" he smiles so innocently at me. i smiled back so wide. and from that day on, those words stuck with me, and i always wore a hint of red in my outfits.
2 MONTHS LATER
he pulled at my hair and kissed me harder than ever. he moved down to my neck, kissing it in different spots.
"baby, you know i want to kiss you, but the others are literally 2 feet away" i say, trying to push him off me. we were in bills hallway, literally 2 feet away from the living room where the others were, and i was pinned against the wall by richie.
"aw come on!" he stares into my eyes.
"they're gonna catch us. we can do this tomorrow at our sleepover, okay?" i walked a step before realizing he wasn't coming with me.
"baby, you know i love you. you know i want to kiss you. we will tomorrow" i squeeze his hand and give him a smile. he gives me one back and we walk back out to the living room.
"long time no see you two. where'd you go?" bev turns to us, and so do the others.
"eddie needed to take his pills and he noticed i had a headache so he gave me an advil in the bathroom. no biggie" richie sat on the couch and i plopped down next to him. he secretly grabbed my hand and squeezed it tight, so no one could see us.
"alright, so truth or d-dare eddie" bill looked at me, smirking. i didn't let go of richies hand. i squeezes ur tighter, actually.
"uhhh dare?" i questioned my own answer. he nodded.
"i dare you to kiss bev" he looked at bev, then back at me. i looked at richie, who was now biting his nails.
"umm" i stopped. i was so nervous. i didn't want to kiss bev, i wanted to kiss richie. i wasnt going to kiss bev. i couldn't. not that i wanted to anyways.
"i- i can't" i choke out. i hear richie sigh in relief.ni squeeze his hand tighter.
"why not?" bill smirks.
"because i-i...." i was so nervous, "i'm in a relationship!" i blurted out. richie squeezed my hand tighter than ever.
"oooo who!" they said, as if they planned to say it at the same time.
"i'm not saying" i sat back in relief that i didn't have to kiss bev.
"come on tell us" ben says.
"yeah tell us!" stan chimes in.
"come on!" bev starts.
"tell us-" bill starts.
"he said he doesn't want to tell you guys alright? leave him alone" richie yells, cutting bill off. they all go to silence and richie let's go of my hand and stands up.
"can we watch a movie though?" he stretches his arms out above his head.
"s-sure rich. they're in the cabinet b-below the tv. you and eddie can stay here w-while me and the others get s-snacks" bill stutters.
"but i'm right here!" richie laughs. i slap him on the arm playfully and help him pick out a movie. when they all leave the room, i crawl my way onto richies lap and kiss him.
"nice save out there" i said, looking him in the eyes.
"they should be respectful of your decision not to tell them! just the facts" richie smiled. i kissed him one more time before getting off him and picking out a movie. we chose "the outsiders" and all sat on the couch with popcorn and candy. i sat next to richie of course, being able to sneak a kiss in from time to time and holding his hand.
"wanna go upstairs rich?" i whisper to him.
"to do what? finish what we started earlier? because if that's the case then yes" he whispers back. i laugh.
"obviously" i roll my eyes and we both stand up.
"me and rich are really tired, we're gonna head to bed." i say.
"aw ok. y-you guys can s-share my bed and the rest of u-us will use air mattresses. goodnight" bill says.
"goodnight!" me and richie say at the same time and rush upstairs. richie pins me against the wall at the top of the stairs. he kisses me passionately and i kiss him back more. i wrap my hands around his neck and he pulls me up on him. he carries me to bills bedroom, still kissing me. he sits down on the bed, me in his lap, and places his head against mine.
"i've never loved someone like i love you eddie kaspbrak" he looks me dead in my eyes. i smile so wide.
"i love you so much more richie tozier" i kiss him again, holding him tighter and bringing him closer to me.
"so that's who your in a relationship with" i hear a familiar voice say.
it can't be richies, i'm kissing richie. oh shit....
i turn around, still sitting on richies lap, to see bill, stan, bev, ben, and mike.
"oh shit" richie says, his hands still around my neck. they walk closer and closer to us and we just stay in the same position.
"so you guys just never thought to tell us huh?" stan crosses his arms in front of his chest.
"no it's no like that-" i start.
"how long have you guys been keeping this secret for" bev asks.
"2 months" richie sighs and grabs both of my hands, intertwining our fingers together. he gives me a reassuring smile before turning back to bev.
"why'd you guys h-hide it?" bill asks.
"because i was afraid you guys might be homophobic or something, i don't know! i was scared!" i yell.
"also, sneaking around with eddie spaghetti here is so much funner than making out with him in front of you. hey you wanna know a secret me and eddie earlier in the hallway-" i clap my hand over his mouth before he can say anything else.
"don't say it trashmouth" i warn him.
"no no tell us what you guys did in my hallway earlier. we'd love to know all your secrets" stan smiles and i roll my eyes before putting my hand back in richies hand.
"we made out so much it was crazy! and a couple months ago, the night i almost got killed by bowers, eddie and i made out then too. that's why our lips were purple. also, eds over here gives me hickeys like there's no tomorrow. speaking of which...." he spits on his hand and wipes his neck, revealing multiple hickeys i'd given him. i put my hands over his neck in an attempt for them not to see but they all did.
"oooooo! you guys are so cute" bev squeals, like a 9 year old girl on crack.
"i know! isn't eds over here just the cutest thing you've ever seen" bill and stan roll their eyes.
"so what would've happened here if we hadn't come in tonight?" ben asks, curious.
"we probably would've fucked" richie says, not afraid at all of reactions.
"that's so not true-" i start but richie cuts me off.
"oh please eds. these motherfuckers would've stayed up all night and fallen asleep down there. we would've fucked, change my mind!" i look at him and laugh.
"holy shit-" bill says, sitting down next to us on the bed.
"so have you guys said i love you yet?" bev was so excited she couldn't hide it.
"yes, duh. i'm so in love with this trashmouth" i look richie right in the eyes and stare at his perfect face. the way his hair perfectly frames his face. the way his glasses lie atop his nose. the way his freckles show up more when he scrunches his nose. the way his lips fit perfectly together when closed like two pieces of a puzzle. he was perfect. my kind of perfect.
