*Eddies POV
I hold Richie closer. Propping my legs onto the coffee table. None of us thought we would stay over night but we did. Bill and Stanley cuddle on the chair, covered up by a hoodie. Mike laying on the floor. And Beverly decided to sleep in Richies room. Ben slept on the floor in Richies room.
I lay awake,thinking. Richies grip loosened a bit but he still held onto me pretty tightly, like he was afraid to let go. My thoughts crash into each other like waves, soon flooding everything. Ruining the perfect beach I sat on.
I look down at Richie. His breathing steady, his hair covering most of his face. I push the hair away, he digs his face deeper into my stomach. I gaze at him, soon falling asleep. I don't remember falling asleep but if did. Smiling.
*Richie POV
I had fallen asleep last night on the couch apparently, waking up with a bad headache, which wouldn't affect me. I've zoned them out to the point where I forget if I have one, nobody notices if I do.
(Something I do I'm real life, if I have a headache I ignore it and forget I have it. I can still feel it but it doesn't hurt as bad when I zone it out)
I wake up, my arms around someone's waist. Theirs around my shoulders, one hand on my cheek. Their hands soft, Eddies hands are soft. I look up a bit, Eddies head resting on the cushion of the couch. His faint snores fill the room.
I don't know why, but I don't wanna get up. I wanna lay here. Forever? No...maybe? No.
I wrap my arms a bit tighter, not trying to hurt him. My head laying on his stomach. I fall asleep again. Apparently everyone sleeping until 12 pm.
*12 pm*
I open my eyes again. Still in Eddies arms. But this time he's awake. Running his fingers through my hair and his fingers over my cheeks. "Oh...I'm sorry. Did I wake you up?" His hand on my cheek as I look up. "No it's fine." I smile, fully awake.
Then again tightening my grip around him. As I slept the first two times my grip loosened a bit. He pulls me closer, his warmth making me smile.
He's a friend.
