The Color Barrier~Reddie Au

Seventeen

Eddie lays there, continuing to hold onto Richie tightly. "Are you guys together?" The two look at each other, putting the book down. "Yeah." The two blush and look away. "Cute." Beverly smiles brightly, loving when her best friends are together.

"How about you two." Mike raises his eyebrows. "No we're not together Micycle." "Doesn't look like it." Stanley snickers to himself. "Oh shut up Stanley." Eddie giggles, letting go of Richie.

"no." He says quietly, pulling the smaller boys arms back around him. "To be very self isolated you're very affectionate Rich." "That's why I'm in this color group I guess eds." "Nooo." He groans at the nickname.

"Guys I think it's time to leave." Mike sighs. Mike Beverly and Ben get up and leave. Bill and Stanley sighs and leave too, holding hands on the way out.

"Richie, we need to head home too." Eddie yawns and Richie flips over to his stomach. "Richie you're very heavy too." "I'm wounded eds." "Stop calling me that, you know I hate it." "You love it." Richie lays his head back down. Eddies hand in Richies hair and the other hand patting his back.

"Rich, come on. I'm tired anyways." "Fine." Richie looks up one last time. Their faces close, inches a part. The two stare into each other's eyes, then down to the other boys lips. Richie starts to move in. Finally kissing him.

The two sit up, their lips still connected. Eddies hands in the taller boys hair. "Richie no." "What?" His lips go father down to the boys jaw, then to his neck where he leaves wet marks.

"Richie no, we can't. We can the together. We don't like each other that way." Richie knows they don't feel that way towards each other, but doesn't stop. Soon leaving a couple on Eddies neck.

Eddie finally pushes Richie off. "Richie..." "I'm sorry... I don't know why I didn't stop." Eddie kisses Richie one more time, passionately and then leaves, leaving Richie stunned on the hammock.

Eddie walks through the darkness, remembering which ways to turn each time. Feeling his lips, the kiss still lingering there. He smiles as he finally gets back to his house he shares with Ben.

"Hey Eddie." Ben smiles, changing the tv. "Hey Ben." "Eddie...your neck." "What do you mean?" Ben touches the spots left my Richie.

Eddie remembers and blushes greatly. "Oh uh, some guy..." "Eddie, it was Richie wasn't it. It's fine if it was." "Yea... it was. He kissed me first. And then moved onto this." "You know he doesn't feel that way right..." Ben sighs.

"Then why would he do this." He points at his neck. "His color... remember." Both boys sigh as Eddie frowns.
