The Party || Reddie

Six

"Ok open my gift now?" Rich asked trying to look innocent and failing "Yeah ok" I picked the other gift up.It was a mixtape with songs we liked to listen to while hanging out when it's just us.And a card? I open the card and he had a poem in it aw he can be such a sweetheart when he wants to.

"When I'm with you,
Eternity is a step away,
My love continues to grow,With each passing day.
This treasure of love,I cherish within my soul
How much I love you...You'll never really know
You bring joy to my heart,I've never felt before.
With each touch of your hand
I love you more and more.
Whenever we say goodbye,Whenever we part
Know I hold you dearly,deep inside
my heart
So these seven words.
I pray you hold true
Forever and always
I will love you"
Now that would be a poem by Chris Engle but it's exactly how I feel about you Eddie I love you ok just always remember that ~The one and only Trashmouth Tozier

I smile at the card I can't believe he did that and Richie knows nothing about poems this must have been hard for him to find is that why he was at the library for like a whole two weeks last month? I look up at him in awe and he just smiles at me and looks down "Hey what dose it say in the card Ed's?" Ben questioned "Y—Yeah Eddie we—we wanna see" Bill chimed in "Come on just let us see?" Bev asked "Yeah I wanna see too" Stan said.
Without me realising Mike had came up behind me I was holding the card up so no one could get it.

~Richies POV~
While everyone was trying to get Eddie to give him the card Mike was sneaking up behind him.Shit this was so stupid I should have gave him the fucking card earlier or when we left Mike tried to grab the card "Eddie Mikes behind you!" I said over everyones yelling Eddie turned around and Stan grabbed the card as he looked at me and Mike.Everyone then ran over to Stan to see the card Eddie just looked defeated and sat down as they were about to read the damn card out.For fuck sake this all my fault I've outed both of us to all of the Losers.Yeah Bev already knows but I can trust her with that.I ran over to Eddie and sat with him as everyone was busy reading the card I grabbed his hand and lifted his chin up so I can see his eyes he had tears in them he was about to cry.I wipe the few tears that had fallen on his cheeks "Hey Ed's it'll be alright ok?" He looked so upset "I promise you ok"
"You promise?" He asked me trying not to cry anymore "Yes I do ok,I love you" He laughed "I love you to Richie"

I look over to the rest of losers Eddie still looking down.Bev was smiling,Stan and Bill just looked at each other,Mike looked out of his mind and Ben all he did was stare at us.I stood up pulling Eddie with me he was holding out my arm and hand tight,laying his head in my shoulder with a few muffled tears and heavy breathing.I took a deep breath "Ok yes,yes me and Eddie are together,have been for 6months now"I look over to Ed's "And we're hella gay ok? The thing that bowers and his goons have picked on us for,for years is true we're both fucking faggots" at this point I had tears in my eyes they just looked at us "And it's fine if you don't want to be our friends anymore,we understand" Eddie looked up from my shoulder "We've been discussing how we should tell you guys or if we should even tell you guys for ages" I squeeze his hand "Hey Ed's just breathe ok?" He takes his inhaler out and takes a few puffs out of it.Stan laughed "I fucking knew it" He points at Ben see I told you they were already together" Ben smiled at him and pushed his hand away."Who kn—knew you were so—so ch—cheesy Rich—Richie" Bill said with a big smile on his face "Oh hush Bill" Bev said and walked over to Mike "Come on Mikey pat up" Eddie looked so shocked "What? You guys bet on this?" I looked up him "Yeah they did" He looked up on me still holding on to me "How did you know" I smiled "I told Bev and only Bev"
"Oh okay" he laid his head back in my shoulder
"You guys really thought we would care that you're gay?" Ben asked "I mean yeah" I said back "Guys we really don't give a shit that you're gay" He reassured us "Oh you guys" Eddie yelled and ran over to them trying to hug them all "Alright the Trashmouth is coming in" I walked over and tried to hug them all too
"I love you guys" I laughed "Love you to Rich" Bev said "Yeah we love you to" "Obviously" Mike and Ben said "Even though you're an asshole sometimes" Stan laughed "Yeah you are but we—we still love you" Bill said Eddie moved out of the cuddle pile put his arms round my waist and looked up at me while I put my arm round him "I love you the most Richie" Everyone just said "Awww" and Bev said "You guys are so cute" I grinned at them "Of course we are" I ruffled Eddies hair "But no ones as cute as my Eddie Bear" I laughed and he pushed me off of him "Ok you've ruined it now Trashmouth" I run after him and put my arms out "Come on you still love me don't you?" He gives in and goes back to me "Yes but not as much as I did a few minutes ago" I laugh as I wrap my arms around him "Alright I'll take that"

We then all just laughed,had a drink and laughed the rest of the night until we all got tired. Me and Eddie were in the hammock and just talked until he fell asleep in my arms...
