Richie sighed opening his wallet. "We need to save every dollar...uh, are you fine with just sleeping in the car?" Eddie mumbled. "It'll get cold..." Richie laughed pulling over on the long dirt road. "Actually...I packed a blanket, ok? So we won't exactly have to spoon for warmth...never stopped you before though." 

Eddie mumbled crossing his arms. "Shut up." He unbuckled his seat belt opening the passenger door. "You're...comfortable." Richie laughed following the boy who started shaking from the shook of the temperature change. "Aw, cute." He wrapped his arms around the boy's shoulders basically dropping on top of him. "You get so angry when you're tired." 

Eddie groaned opening the boot pulling out the big fluffy white blanket. "I hate you." Richie shook his head gripping the boy tighter. "You don't, you love me." Eddie shook his head yawning opening the car door crawling into the back. "Shut up. I hope you choke in your sleep." 

Eddie pushed the back seats down flopping it into the back to give more room, Richie flopped down on the normal seat extending his arms for the boy to lay in. "You know you want to." Eddie rolled his eyes slamming the door shut, as you can tell he was really tired, and spending like fifteen hours in a car makes someone upset. "I don't." Richie fake pouted crossing his arms. "Really?" 

Eddie sighed wrapping the blanket around his shoulders making himself look small in compression, god he looks so fucking cute. Richie thought to himself as the boy crawled on his knees in between the bigger boys legs, pressing against his junk finally flopping down onto his chest causing the boy to let out a muffled groan. "Dude, you could've eased into it...and stop stealing all the fucking blanket!'

He exclaimed linking his arms around the boys boney back pushing it out to go around him as well. "I didn't say fucking let go." Eddie rumbled furrowing his brows, resting his head on the boy's chest using it as a pillow.

Richie slide his arm lower, moving one leg up to try and create some form of comfort. They were actually really used to cuddling. But something felt different. He's going to have a fucking stroke, why is his heart beating so fast. Eddie thought turning his head to get a better listen in. Richie murmured letting his eyelids fall flat. "Go to sleep Eds." 

"I am Rich..."

...

...

...

"I love you," Richie whispered slowly raising his hand playing with the soft orange and yellow strands of hair.

"I love you too."

The sun slowly raised as the harsh yellow rays shined through the car window, Eddie sat up quickly rubbing his face mumbling. "Rich...get the fuck up." Richie shook his head groaning stretching out. "Five more minutes...you're so nice and warm..." Eddie shook his head, pressing his hands on the boy's chest. "No, we need to get going." 

Richie groaned lightly from the pressure being applied. "Eds...You're hurting me." Eddie rolled his eyes gripping onto his shirt. "Get up, I'll take the first shift. Ok? You can sleep." Richie pouted opening his eyes to see...an interesting sight. "But you're so..."

Eddie laying on his lap, legs spread against his hips, gripping on his chest. Richie stammered. "Yep, uh...you can get up. Let's do that." Eddie rolled his eyes getting up getting in the front seat. "Come on." 

Richie followed along sitting in the passenger sheet, shuffling around leaning back, Eddie questioned turning on the car, cranking up the heat. "Have any music?" Richie nodded picking up the cd holder of burnt CDs. 

Eddie grinned opening the disks. "Ok, so we have! Sex CDs! Oh my god, you have for different locations! Richie!" Richie rolled his eyes grabbing the holder from him. "Just 'cause you're jealous that you'll never get to listen to them doesn't mean you have to be rude."

Eddie rolled his eyes, turning to the boy. "I don't want to listen to the songs you listened to while fucking Connor, just...can you just chose a decent fucking CD."

Richie nodded flicking through the turners.

"Rain sex"

"Car sex"

"Bed sex"

"Hate sex"

Note to self, stop making CDs about different types of sex.

"PUT ON THIS CD IF YOU GET TO BANG EDDIE. NO ONE ELSE"

"Chilling with Eds"

Richie hummed taking out the CD. "I made this one just for you." Eddie sighed turning on the engine, "Eddie my love," Eddie scoffed pulling onto the road. "I hate you so much right now." Richie grinned leaning back. "No, you don't...mister "I love you too." 

Eddie rolled his eyes. "Do I have to turn soon?" Richie grabbed the map laughing. "I love you." Eddie groaned whispering. "I love you too...But for fuck sake! Am I still on route?" Richie nodded reading along the map. "Mhmm, turn onto Pool street in.- Pullover!" Eddie quickly flicked over stammering. "What?! What?" Richie practically jumped out of the car as it came to a stop. "Payphone!" 

Eddie let out a small laugh getting out with him. "Who are you going to call?" Richie answered shoving his hand in his pocket searching for some coins and notes. "Bev." Eddie nodded following him into the cramped space. "Cool..." Richie cocked his head shoving the notes and coins in. "Don't you have like...a crush on Beverly?"

Eddie shook his head quickly watching the boy flick the numbers in. "No, Beverlys just like...one of the guys." Richie laughed placing the phone to his ears. "And you don't like guys...got it." Eddie shrugged leaning against the wall. "I don't know..."

"Hello? Who is this?"

"...what? Who are you?" Richie stammered completely losing his train of thoughts.

HE LIKES GUYS. EDDIE KASPBRAK. LIKES GUYS.

"You called Beverly dumbass." Eddie laughed kicking his foot, Richie nodded clearing his throat. "Right! Beverly! Hey.-" "Holy shit?! Rich?! Is that you?!" Richie hummed nodded watching the other both with him, who was grinning and laughing. "Yeah, Eds is uh, with me too...just wanted to let you know we're alive...how's everything back there?"

Beverly let out a deep sigh. "It's...odd. They interviewed us...honestly didn't think that'd happen. Juniper missed you, like a lot! And your mums..." Richie sighed tears filling his eyes. "Shit uh...Beverly, I gotta go, I'll see you.-" "Richie.-"

BEEEEEP.

That was all. Richie quickly hung up, Eddie stammered grabbing Richie's shoulder. "You ok?" Richie nodes. "Yeah...let's just go."
