☆*:.｡.Eve.｡.:*☆

The doorbell rings waking up the two tired boys. Eddie jolts up being startled and Richie turns laughing. Eddie puts a hand on his chest and calms his breath throwing his pillow at Richie.
"What are you laughing at asshat"
Richie looks at his phone
"Oh my god Eds it's 3"
Eddie's eyes widened.
"WHAT! Oh god stans gonna be pissed."
Eddie gets up and quickly pulls on his Christmas pajamas starting to pace around and run his hands through his hair. Richie gets up and puts on his matching one.
"Calm down man I'm sure he got Bill to help cook, it's ok he'll understand"
"Ugg why did we read last night"
"It was my fault I didn't stop you"
Eddie and Richie leave and swiftly walk down the hall. Stan is holding Pattys waist as she tosses a salad on the island and Mike is greeting Bev and Ben at the door. Stan looks up from smiling at Patty and his face falls spotting the boys slumping into the kitchen.
"Oh look who finally decided to join us bitch boy one and two"
Eddie sadly fiddles with his hands and walks up to Stan.
"I'm sorry Stan I forgot to set an alarm. Is there anything I can do to help now?"
Stan shakes his head as everyone else congregates in the living room.
"Eddie, you can go set the table, it's all there just needs to be placed out. As for you trashmouth, start cleaning the dishes we used for cooking yesterday and today. Everyone else come to the table!"
Eddie sets out the plates on the red and green placemats as everyone sits down at the crowded table with added chairs to fit everyone in the circle. Eddie goes and starts to help Richie clean as Patty puts salad on one side of everyone's plates.
"And for the main event!"
Stan holds the glass lasagna dish with his oven mitts and sets it in the center of the table.
"The best part of the year is Stans famous Lasagna! Imagine if you were still Jewish Stan"
"Bev I'm still Jewish I just don't really celebrate. It's more fun with you guys anyway"
Richie laughs from the kitchen while Eddie sulks as Stan puts the lasagna on everyone's plates.
"S-should we l-let them c-come now?"
Stan turns his head.
"Alright boys come eat you can finish after."
Eddie happily dries his hands and skips laughing sliding into his seat. Richie laughs at Eddie's excitement and sits next to him. Everyone turns to Mike who normally initiates grace due to it being his idea.
"Alrighty then everyone hold hands. Thank you ,to whoever you believe in,"
Mike says looking at Stan
"For this wonderful Christmas Eve meal and this company. We thank you for giving us each other and for looking after the ones we love. Um amen?"
Everyone laughs at Mike's tone.
"Let's dig in!"
They all start eating and enjoying Stan food.
"So Eddie.. Tell us about this Will character"
Bev says with a smirk. Eddie blushes and quickly swallows his food.
"There's not much to tell."
Bill rolls his eyes.
"E-Eddie he was t-texting you a-all day yesterday I w-would know I-I-I had to s-sit through the w-whole thing."
Richie rolls his eyes
"We were just talking about the party. He's sweet I guess he always compliments me"
Ben smirks.
"Our little Eddies got an admirer"
Ben says
"Ben you're turning into Beverly."
Eddie shoves a mouthful of food I'm his mouth. Richie laughs.
"OoOo He's pulling out the full names now Bev he's gettin mad."
Richie says Bev rolls her eyes. They all go into mindless banter until everyone finishes.
"Alright you two finish up the dishes we're all gonna figure out the movie list"
Mike says patting Richie's shoulder and leaving the kitchen.
"Please get polar express on there for me Mike remember it's tradition"
"Of course I will Eddie, can you put the kettle on for the hot chocolate?"
"Yep!"
They finish the dishes and get the hot chocolate passed out.
Richie sits on the side of the couch with the chaize against the arm Eddie is next to him sharing it then Bill Mike Stan Patty Ben and Bev In that order all cuddled together stuffed on the couch. Patty places her phone and takes at least fifty pictures all of them smiling or making funny faces.
They go through a few movies and around nine Stan starts the next movie and it's the polar express.
"Finally!"
Eddie says sinking more into Richie's side.
Suddenly Richie's phone starts ringing Richie looks at it and Eddie sees the name, it's Conor.
"I- I uh gotta take this"
Eddie watches as Richie takes the phone out onto the balcony of the apartment and answers.
"Who was it Eddie?"
Ben asks. Eddie leans onto Bills shoulder now, Mike moving his arm to try and hold both Bill and place his hand on Eddie's head .
"Conor from high school remember bowers nice cousin"
Eddie says In a monotone voice.
"Yeah I didn't know they still talked"
Mike says.
"They don't really"
"Is that a hint of jealousy Eddie?"
Bev says, smirking leaning to look at Eddie.
"Shut up no! Ok maybe ugg"
They all laugh
"It's a-alright Eddie"
Richie misses the next two movies standing outside.
"He's been out there for a long time"
"I-is Conor more I-important than us now?"
Once Patty mentioned it they all had looked out the glass doors. They Watch Richie sit down on the porch chair and finally hang up the phone placing it in his pocket. He puts his head in his hands resting his elbows on his knees.
"E-Eddie you should g-go"
Eddie looks at his friends who are all nodding. Eddie nods back and pushes up from the couch wrapping his blanket around him. He walks out and slides open the door stepping out then closing it again.
"You ok Rich?"
Eddie says sitting on the other chair. Richie turns his head making Eddie notice the tint of red in Richie's eyes.
"Hey what's going on?"
Eddie places his hand on Richie's knee, Richie puts his hand over Eddies.
"Yeah just Conor and his boyfriend broke up, but he told me why. Apparently Noah was hurting him then we got to talking about it and then my time with.......P--"
Eddie realizes and finishes
"Patrick."
Richie nods, squeezing Eddie's hand.

Patric beat up all of the losers but that was only in school. The pain he brought Richie followed everywhere. Patrick got mad a lot and every time he would hit Richie over and over then beg for forgiveness saying he'd change but he never did. The losers eventually found out and he broke up with Patrick before moving away.
"Yeah we talked about how he hurt me like that and how that caused my trust issues and is basically the reason I don't do relationships. we were just helping each other through it. He decided he's still gonna come for New Years, I'm just gonna show him around"
Eddie nods.
He took Richie away from tradition and just made him sad now he's stealing him from New Years?
"That's Ok just don't miss my show you promised to see it before we go to the pajama sleepover"
Richie laughs.
"I won't forget. Let's get back inside and watch the rest of the movies. How much did I miss?"
"Two including my favorite stupid"
Richie chuckles and they walk Inside. Eddie jumps back into his spot and Richie squeezes back in.
"Welcome back nice of you to join us"
"Shut it Molly Ringwald"
They all laugh and continue watching one more movie .
"Alright! It's 11 we don't wanna stay up until Christmas let's clear out for Bev and Ben"
Stan says standing up and leading Patty to his room. Eddie groans as Bill and Mike stand as well. Eddie does grabby hands to Richie.
"Ahh grabby hands it's been a while Eds your getting back to normal"
"Don't call me that"
Richie picks him up, Eddie wraps his legs around his torso and arms around his neck. Eddie rests his head on Richie's shoulder.
"I'm excited, finally Christmas."
Richie leans over and lays Eddie down onto his bed. He pulls up the covers on Eddie.
"Can I join"
Richie says slightly nudging Eddie and Eddie just groans.
"C'mon Eds it's Christmas I doubt you wanna be alone."
"Yeah fine"
Eddie moves so his back is to the wall. Richie climbs under the covers and pulls Eddie in, one arm under his head hand in his hair and the other around his waist. Eddie's face reddens as he puts one arm around Richie and the other on the taller boy's chest. and tangling their legs together. Richie chuckles.
"Comfortable now Spageddie?"
