Eddie sighed picking up the empty box dye bleach. "So...when's your family going to be home?" Richie hummed as Beverly was applying the next round of colour to his hair. "Like, seven...so we have plenty of time to come up with something." Beverly groaned slowly applying the purple dye. "I still don't want this happening."

Richie shrugged as the egg timer went off. "Eds, shower." Eddie rolled his eyes. "So...I'm becoming ginger?" Beverly grinned laughing. "Join the club, soulless." Richie lightly shoved the boy who was standing next to him, nudging his chest lightly. "You gotta shower,"

Eddie groaned. "But my clothes are filthy? What am.-" Richie looked up at the boy causing Beverly to groan trying to shove his head back to place. "Just take some of mine.-" "Richie! Head forward!"

Eddie nodded quickly, looking off going red in the face. Now, you may be wondering? Why would Eddie run away with him? He himself didn't even know, but as his hands traced along the banister up the stairs he started pondering on the question.

Why did it make his stomach flip when Richie poked him?

He entered the boys soon to be former room, gripping the handles of his closet forcing it open with a slight groan, it was stuck due to a loose screw or something along those lines, he flipped through the different fabrics trying to find a shirt without any stains, food scraps or mysterious scuff marks.

He decided on a way too big shirt that was a grey colour and had some random words on it, he stole out some black track pants and walked into the shower.

He placed them down on the basement but didn't retract his hands for a good couple seconds.

What would they smell like?

Would they smell more like B.O or his deodorant?..or would they smell like...Connor.

Or, would they smell like him...that nice almost buttery smell with a slight lollipop scent. Just, sweet and loving.

I don't know...it'd be creepy if I sniffed it...

But?..

The cotton shirt itched against his nose as he gave in a deep breath...it smelt of him. Eddie's chest dropped as a grin slowly came across his lips, it was such a calming smell Eddie couldn't stop himself but rub it along his cheek picturing it being Richie's hand.

"Eddie! Shower quick!"

Eddie jumped as there was a banging on the door, yep shower. Go shower. He quickly turned the metal handles earning a loud stream of water. He pulled the plastic wrap off his head quickly jumping into the shower.

He scrubbed at his hair trying to wash the chemicals out...Oh fuck.

I'm in love with Richie Tozier.
