The Day I Met Him (Reddie love story)

Drunk

Richie walked in the pharmacy, he wasn't planning on buying anything, more like, taking. Richie walked down the isles pretending to be interested in some objects on the shelves. He stopped in his tracts when he heard a similar voice at the front counter. he walked over standing next to the boy. 

"whats up eds," Richie set a hand on eddies shoulder, he looked up and shrugged the handoff, "stop calling me that" Ritchie smiled poking eddies nose then swiftly grabbing a pack of cigarettes while the clerk turned his back grabbing Eddie whatever he came for.

"Richie!" Eddie whisper yelled, Richie leaned down next to eddies ear, "hope I see you tomorrow" he pulled away giving Eddie a wink before walking out, he slapped himself "what the fuck was that Richie!" he chuckled at himself before lighting himself a cigarette and sitting on a bench.

-----------------------------

the next day had rolled around and Richie was quite nervous, the show was about to begin and he hadn't seen Eddie, he hoped he didn't scare him off the other day, Richie tried to ignore the way he felt around the smaller boy, his stomach did a turn, he did a few shots before going on stage and beginning.

halfway into the 2ed song, he watched as Eddie walked in and sat down in a seat. Richie finished the song, packed up before stumbling off the stage to Eddie, "hey Eddie-spaghetti man" he sat down grabbing another bottle of booze.

"Is everything alright Richie you look sickish" Richie laughed shaking his head no, bringing the bottle to his lips, Eddie put a hand over the bottle pushing it away from his mouth. Richie looked up confused. "no more, chee, please I can smell it, you reek" Richie could see how worried the boy was

Richie set the bottle down pushing away. Eddie smiled slowly, "I should go home" Richie mumbled pushing his seat out as he stood. Eddie followed grabbing richies arm once they were outside the dark night. "are you going to be ok, tonight I mean" Eddie fidgeted with his hands. Richie scoffed before slurring out a sentence

eddies eyes furrowed, "what's your address" "34 pine street" (idk) Eddie nodded before pulling richies arm over his shoulder. they made it to richies house and Eddie fished out the keys from richies pocket opening the door and went up to what he guessed was richies room.

Richie sat at the edge of the bed and Eddie ran downstairs opening cupboards until he found a cup, filling it up with water and bringing it upstairs to Richie. Eddie fiddled with the bottom of his sweatshirt, "I have to go home Richie" Richie looked up.

Eddie walked backward a few steps before turning around. "stay" Richie mumbled, Eddie turned around. "uh- ok I can sleep on the floor" Richie nodded his head in disagreement, Richie reached his arms out wrapping them around eddies waist pulling him close enough to place his head against Eddie stomach.

Eddie reluctantly placed his hand on richies head petting his perfect, soft curls. Richie flopped back onto his pillow, Eddie went downstairs to find a phone and call his mother, he walked back upstairs opening the white wooden door.

he looked inside to see Richie asleep, Eddie smiled and pulled off his shoes and put the blanket over him before falling beside him and falling asleep.

------------------------

richies eyes fluttered open as the sun from outside was leaking in through his blinds, his eyes focus as he puts his thick glasses on, he sees Eddie facing him, fast asleep. 'what happened last night?' he thought it slowly came back to him in little bits and pieces,

he used a finger to move a piece of hair behind his ears, he really observed his pretty face, his pretty pink soft-looking lips, his button nose, the perfect amount of freckles over his face. his eyes slowly opened, "how are you feeling" his voice groggy yet soft and gentle.

"feels like im dying" Eddie giggles, "that's what you get" Richie looks Eddie up and down, "you're still clothed im guessing I didn't get lucky last night" Eddie shoved his shoulder before sitting up, "dickwad" Richie laughed.

Eddie reached in his fannypack pulling out a pill bottle and poured 2 pills onto his hand. he grabbed the cup of water from the nightstand and turned back to Richie. "take this" he says softly, handing the pills to Richie.

Richie popped them into his mouth taking the cup of water, sipping it before handing it back to Eddie. "you look so pretty in the morning eds" Eddie stiffened, and a nice shade of red covered his face. Eddie fake laughed, "im serious-" Richie was cut off by his phone.

he pulled it from his pocket sitting up. "sup?" Richie said more like a question. "Richie you dumb fuck you had me and Beverly worried sick!" stan said loud enough for Richie to hand to lull the phone away from his ear, wincing a bit.

"its fine staniel" Stanley scoffed. "you could have been killed!" "But I wasn't" "don't be ignorant"

Richie laughed looking at Eddie who was biting his lip nervously. "anyway, Bev was wondering if you wanna go rollerblading today, you can bring a plus one." Richie smiled knowing exactly who he wanted to bring "done and done stanny"

'click' stan hung up on him. "rude" he mumbled looking back at Eddie. "wanna go roller blading with my friends today?" "me?" " well, im not talking to the wall" Eddie rolled his eyes before become nervous once again. "i-I've never done it before" Richie smiled tilting his head and pushing his glasses up.

"well lucky for you im a pro" they both laughed and Eddie agreed on going with them.
