"I Don't Need Help" //Reddie AU

44). Necklace, Collar Bone and Jawlines

*Eddies POV
To clear something up. I only drank a couple shots. Only like five. I wanted to feel something . I don't smoke, and I didn't drink until today.

"Eddie you seem off." Richie whispers as we sit on the couch with the rest of the losers. "I might've drank something." "Oh no what did you drink!?" His eyes went wide. "Maybe I drank some...vodka." I giggle at Richie. "Who gave it to you." He smiles in a disapproving but approving look. "Bill." "Y-you said you wouldn't t-tell." Bill laughed.

"I- ok then well we should maybe all dance and party?" "Yesss." I drag out the 's' my words slurring a bit.

*Richies POV
Eddies words slur. His eyes become heavy every once in a while, soon to be wide by some type of energy. We all start drinking, Eddie becomes the drunkest. By only a couple shots and one beer in hand.

I decide not to drink as much. One person always has to take care of everyone when their friends drink. Apparently Beverly and I think the same thing.

"Cheeeeeee. Come here I'm tired and cold." He motions me over as I talk to Beverly in the kitchen. "Hold me I'm coldddd." His words slur a bit more. "Bill stop!" Stanley giggles as Bill stands on the coffee table. "Baby why not." Somehow the most responsible ones (mostly Stanley) have drank more than Eddie.

Eddie sits on my lap with his back against the arm rest of the sofa. His head on my collar bones. He snuggles into me more. "Chee? Who do you like?" "Why? Do you want the all famous Tozier kisses?" I joke around. Eddie whispers and finishes his conversation. "...because I like-" Stanley's eyes go wide as he covers Eddies mouth up. "Shhhhhh. Eddie don't." "Okay." Complying Eddie snuggles his head back onto my chest.

Eddie somehow got my jacket on. The hood resting on his head. His arms crossed as the sleeves go past his finger tips. The whole jacket goes down to his mid thigh. Today he decided to change into some shorts before we all started to drink.

"Eddie? Eds? Oh." Picking Eddie up gently I walk up the stairs slowly, making sure not to let his head hit the walls. I hold him bridal style. Finally we reach his room. Laying him down on his bed I admire his peacefulness.

Before I can turn the lights out and walk out of the door he jerks up, sitting up straight. "Eddie?" "Bad dream I guess." Rubbing his eye he lays back down. "Ok." Once again I try to leave the room but is stopped by a soft voice. "Chee, please lay down with me." His arms spread out as he lays on the bed. "I- ok fine hold on."

I had been wearing jeans all day and wanted to change anyways. Quickly pulling my jeans off and putting some sweatpants on. And taking my t-shirt off. He wouldn't mind. "You have a nice butt." He giggles. "I'm gonna ignore that statement. Move over." Finally I lay down.

Our legs tangled together, my head atop of his. My arms tightly over his arms which are close to my chest. His fingers holding onto the necklace underneath my shirt. Apparently he's awake now.

"Hey guys w-we got bored c-can we come i-in here?" Looking over Bill has a sleeping Stanley. "Sure just grabs some pillows and stuff if you're gonna sleep in here." Eddies fingers go up and down my bare collar bones and then his fingers travel to my jawline. His fingers go back to my collar bones.

Eventually his fingers blindly find the necklace, then they stop meaning he had fallen asleep.
