Two Idiots In Love - Reddie

Chapter 29

Eddie's POV

Richie rolls us over so that I'm lying on the bed and he's on top of me as the kiss gets heated.

I keep my hands in his soft hair as he moves his hands down to my waist, holding me still as we keep each other close. Not wanting to break the kiss.

We briefly pull apart to catch our breaths before diving back in and passionately kissing one another.

After a while we break apart and lock eyes, softly smiling at each other as we both catch our breaths.

I feel so overwhelmed with love that I don't think too much when I say, "I love you Richie."

A look of shock fills his face as he process's what I said. I then notice his eyes start watering up and a tear fall down his face as he keeps his eyes locked onto mine.

"I-I love you too Eds." he stammers out as more tears fall from his eyes and down his cheeks, a huge smile taking over his face.

I untangle my hand from his hair and take his glasses off, placing them next to me as I wipe the tears from his face and pull him into a kiss, filled with pure love.

We pull apart and lock eyes again as we both widely smile at one another. I pull his head onto my shoulder and wrap my arm round him as my other hand stays in his hair.

I feel him snuggle into my neck and move his hands under me, pulling me even closer to him.

"I-I wanted to tell you that when we first kissed, b-but I didn't want to scare you." he stutters out as he lifts his head and looks down at me. "I'm so happy that you said it!" he exclaims as he leans down and passionately kisses me.

He pulls back and looks down at me with a loving smile. "I would've been over the moon if you had said it then, because I think I've always known that I love you." I genuinely say, feeling my heart beat faster as I stare into his eyes.

"Me too, ever since I first laid eyes on your cute little face." he says with a slight chuckle, moving his hand up to my face and rubbing his thumb over my cheekbone.

He brings his other hand up and holds my face in his hands as he leans down and sweetly kisses me, before pulling away and resting his head on my neck, entangling his hands in my hair.

I wrap my arms back round him and rest my head on top of his, nuzzling my face in his soft curls.

I softly smile as I close my eyes and feel myself slowly drift off to sleep.

Time skip

I wake up, with Richie still lying on top of me and his face snuggled in my neck, his hands still loosely tangled in my hair.

I look down at him and move his hair off his face and just admire how peaceful he looks when he's asleep.

It's times like this where I think about how lucky I actually am to get be with him and to hopefully spend the rest of my life with this lovable goof.

I start playing with his soft curls again and move my other hand up to his face and gently rub back and forth across his cheekbone.

After a few minutes he moves slightly and his eyes flicker open, he looks up at me with a soft smile and I can't help but lean down and leave a gentle kiss on his forehead.

I pull back and see a tint of pink dusted across his cheeks, I reach over and grab his glasses and gently slide them on his face.

"Morning Eds." he softly says. "What time is it?"

I look over at the clock then back at him, "It's 10 am."

"Whoa, we slept a long time!" he says with a chuckle. "I guess it's from how relaxing and comfortable it is being wrapped up in your arms." he says as he snuggles back into me.

"It's surprisingly nice having you lie on top of me." I say as I wrap my arms round him once again. 

"Well then I guess we're going to have to do this more often." he says in a low tone as he moves up to my face and leaves a sweet kiss on my lips.

"I would still prefer to hold you during films though, like we normally do." he mumbles as he plants another kiss on my lips.

"I can't disagree with that." I say with a smirk as I lean in for another kiss before Richie snuggles back into me.

A few minutes later the phone starts to ring.

"I'll get it." Richie says as he reluctantly pry's himself off me and goes over to the desk, picking up the phone and talking to whoever's on the other line.

I stay lying on the bed just looking at Richie and smiling to myself, not listening to what he's saying.

He then hangs the phone up and walks back over to me, jumping on the bed and resting his head back on my chest.

"Who was it?" I ask, mindlessly running a hand through his hair.

"It was Bill, he was asking if we wanted to meet him and the others at the quarry." he says, moving his head to look at me and resting his chin just below my neck.

"What time?" I absentmindedly ask.

"At 12, which gives us more time to cuddle together." he says with a smirk as he lies his head back down on me.

"Fine with me." I say as I relax back into the bed.

Time skip

When we get to the quarry, we all decide to swim for a bit. So one by one we all jump off the edge and into the water, splashing each other and playing chicken. We spend most of the afternoon in the water just enjoying the hot summer's day together.
