Two Idiots In Love - Reddie

Chapter 27

Eddie's POV

I wake up to a loud beeping sound. I slowly open my eyes and reach over Richie to turn the alarm off. I grab his glasses and move back to see him slowly open his eyes.

"Morning Rich." I smile at him as I put his glasses on his face. A pink hue dust his cheeks as I slide them on for him.

"Morning Eds." he says with a smirk as he leans down and kisses my forehead. "Thanks for helping me see your cute wittle face." he says in a gooey voice as he pinches my cheek.

"Stop that!" I exclaim while whacking his hand away, feeling my heart beat pick up.

"Oh you love it!" he says while he boops my nose, making me scrunch up my face.

"No." I say with a smirk. "Anyway, do you want tell the others today?" I ask, while entwining our hands together.

"Yeah." he breathed out as he met my eyes. "What you said last night helped reassure me, but I still feel quite nervous about actually telling them."

"It'll be fine." I say as I wrap my arms round him and pull him closer. "We can say it together and it'll be less nerve wracking for the both of us."

His arms wrap round me as I hear him mumble in a soft voice, "Thanks Eds."

Time Skip

We stand at the top of the quarry looking down at where our friends are.

"You alright?" I ask Richie as I put my hand on his back.

"Yeah, I'm good." he says turning to me and giving me a small smile.

"We don't have to tell them today if you don't want to." I calmly say as I look up at him.

"No. No I want to." he says, fully turning to face me and grabbing my hands.  "I don't want to hide my feelings for you any longer." he more confidently says.

I smile at him and nod my head  to show that I two am ready to tell them. He smiles back and faces the path down to where our friends are.

He keeps a hold of my left hand as we walk down together.

We walk up to them and stand hand in hand facing them. Stan notices us first and looks at us with a knowing smirk on his face.

"Sup losers!" Richie enthusiastically exclaims, catching everyone's attention.

They all turn to look at us and we see them all look down at our entwined hands then back up at us.

"We have something to tell you." I say, feeling my cheeks heat up from the attention.

"Spaghetti and I have proclaimed our love for one another and are now a couple!" he loudly says with a confident smile on his face.

"Oh wow! Congrats guys!" Ben says with a smile on his face.

"I always thought you two would look cute together!" Bev chimes in.

"Yeah, I'm happy for you both." Mike adds with a grin.

"So, who confessed to who?" Stan asks.

"Well we both did at the same time." I say, not wanting to give the full details. I feel my face heat up just thinking about it.

"Oh, I see." Stan says with a smirk still on his face.

"W-well I'm glad you b-both f-finally got t-together." Bill says with a kind smile.

"Thanks Bill." I say, returning the smile and thinking about how much he helped me.

"Well I'm happy you're all fine with us as a couple." Richie says as he drags me to the empty space in the circle left for us. "To me it means that I don't have to hold back anymore." he says with a smirk as he sits down and pulls me to sit between his legs.

"Richie!" I exclaim.

"Yes Spaghetti?" he says with a smirk as he wraps his arms round my waist and rests his head on my shoulder.

"You two are so cute." Bev giggles out from watching us.

I bury my face in my hands trying to hide my red face.

"Aw isn't he the cutest!" Richie coos while snuggling more into me.

Everyone lightly chuckles at us with smiles present on all of their faces. 

That's basically how the next hour goes.

Us all talking about whatever and every now and then Richie being a goofy sap and making everyone softly laugh at us or chime in with what Richie says.

It was a great afternoon and when we parted ways when going home, we had a group hug before riding off in different directions.

When we got home we left our bikes round the house, leaning up against the wall and went inside and had dinner with Maggie. We helped wash up and went upstairs to our room and lay on our bed.

We were lying cuddled up with each other, our legs tangled together and my head resting on Richie's chest.

"You were right." Richie softly speaks up.

"I do love hearing you say that." I say, earning a chuckle from Richie. 

"You were right about how supportive our friends are." he explains.

I move my head back a bit and look up at him. "I was quite nervous about it all, but you gave me the confidence to tell them, and I want to thank you Eds." he says with a soft smile.

"I didn't give you that much confidence. That was mostly you." I say returning the smile and leaning towards him. "You were really brave today Richie." I mumble out before meeting his lips for a sweet kiss.

I move my hands up and tangle my fingers in his soft curls as he moves his hands to my hips.

He pulls away and breathes out, "Thanks Spaghetti, but I still couldn't have done it without you." 

He then dives back in for a more passionate kiss as he moves me back onto the bed and slightly  hovers over me, keeping his hands firmly on my hips.

We kiss for much longer, but reluctantly break apart after a couple minutes to catch our breaths.

We look into each others eyes with permanent smiles on our faces and our cheeks a vibrant red as we stare lovingly at one another.
