As Richie played a Mozart tune, Eddie did a Pirouette and finished off his dance with a Grande Jeté, right as Richie finished playing. Eddie smiled at Richie and did a curtsy. "Thank you for helping me practice, Richie," Eddie said. Blushing, Richie saluted Eddie out of instinct since he was focused on how dang cute Eddie was, and not on his words. Eddie was confused as to why Richie saluted him, but he chuckled and kissed him on the cheek.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eddie needed Richie to help him practice since he would one day sign up for a ballet competition if there ever was one. Richie had always wanted to showcase his talent somewhere big, and a competition was a pretty big thing. Eddie was confident in his dancing skills, but he was still anxious about slipping up even a little bit. Usually, he danced better when there was music playing since he could easily have a rhythm to get in sync with. And that's where Richie came in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~As Richie and Eddie walked out of the building, Richie stopped for a moment. He took Eddie's hand in his and kissed the back of it. That caught Eddie off guard, making him blush intensely. "W-What was that for!?" Eddie stammered. "That's for catching me off guard with that little curtsy you did, " Richie replied, grinning. Eddie huffed and continued walking, and Richie went after him while laughing. "Hey! You know Valentine's Day is tomorrow, right!?" Richie said, excitedly. "Oh yeah! I almost forgot!" Eddie replied.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eddie and Richie could not stand anymore for the life of them, so they just cuddled in the meantime. Both of them were on their phones, just browsing the internet. Eddie got a text on his phone from...Richie? But he was right next to him. The text said, "dance?" Eddie looked over to see Richie making a sad little pouting face. With a long breath and a heavy heart, he responded with, "No, sorry, I gotta relax for a bit. My feet hurt to high heaven..." Richie sighed, but he understood. Richie missed the times when Eddie didn't dedicate his life to ballet, those were fun days. But, he had something planned for Valentine's Day that would be really fun.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day, Eddie felt around on the bed for Richie, but all he felt was a bedsheet. He quickly sat up and bolted out of bed, trying to figure out where Richie was. He checked the bathroom, then the kitchen, then the bedroom again just to make sure. When he checked the living room, he saw a note on the little coffee table. It said,Hey, Eds! Today is Valentine's Day, are you excited? Good! Come to the riverside, where I proposed to you. I have something waiting for you there. I wanted to make this Valentine's Day special without being cheesy, but hey, "cheesy" is just how I am! Now hurry, I miss you, love.
Love, Richie
~~~~~~~~~~~~Eddie went from panicking to blushing in a matter of seconds. How sweet of him, Eddie thought. He still scared the shit out of me though! Eddie went straight to his car, and in a matter of minutes, he arrived at the riverside, only to see no one there. Nothing but a note on a bench. The note said,
Oops! I'm not here it seems. It's okay, just follow my instructions. Just keep going straight for about 20 seconds, then do a sharp left. Then, you'll find me.
Love, Richie.
~~~~~~~~~~Eddie sighed. He just wanted to see Richie, that's all. He followed the instructions and kept going straight. By then, Eddie was walking through trees, by hung up hearts and rose petals. It felt like a fairytale. "Richie! Are you here! Richie!" Eddie called out for Richie about 6 times, then he stopped because he heard the sound of a piano. Don't tell me this goofball brought a whole piano into the forest...
~~~~~~~~~~When Eddie got to the source of the music, he saw Richie standing there in the middle of the forest. "So...where is the music coming from?" Eddie asked. Richie snorted and pointed to an Amazon Alexa in a little corner. Eddie was so close to slapping his forehead, but he just couldn't. Richie did all of this for him, how could he be mad? Richie held his hand out and smiled a great big smile. "May I have this dance?" Richie asked. Eddie quickly nodded.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
All through the night, (not really, it was 2 hours) they danced while a harmonious tune played. Eddie enjoyed that day more than anything, he just wanted to stay in the moment forever. He just wanted to stay in Richie's arms while they danced through the night. All of a sudden, they stopped dancing. "Let's go on home. It's getting late." Richie softly said. Eddie simply nodded and kissed Richie. "I can't believe I'm engaged to such an awesome guy." Eddie thought for a minute because he was kinda confused. "Enagaged?" He asked. Richie looked at Eddie with confusion, only to realize what he said. "OH FUCK! I forgot to ask!!" Richie exclaimed. He got down on one knee, and presented the ring box, and inside was the most beautiful ring Eddie had ever seen. "Eddie Kaspbrak, will you marry me?" Richie asked, with starry eyes. "Richie Tozier, HELL YES!" Eddie shrieked with happiness.
~~~~~~~~~~~
After a happy night, Eddie and Richie drove back home, happily. "Oh, you know I'm destroying your ass, right?" Richie asked. Eddie laughed and said, "Duh, it's Valentine's Day." Just then, a notification popped up on Eddie's phone.Derry Ballet Competition, Coming Soon! Sign up for your place in it! You won't regret it!
Eddie smiled, and Richie knew exactly what he was smiling about. Richie continued to play more tunes after that, and Eddie continued to dance. Both of them, the happiest they could be.
