Impossible Wishes - 1.part // Reddie Fanfic

17. have fun with that lad

Eddie was waiting for Richie exactly on time according to the plans they had made on the weekend. While he was standing not far away from his own house, he realized that he hadn't even told Stan that he wouldn't walk with him to school in the morning.

Stanley had actually called him to tell him to come to the Barrens after Eddie's first date with Richie, but it still hadn't occurred to Eddie to tell him that Richie would give him a ride to school, but what had occurred to him was that he had promised Ben and the others to help them build the club house the following weekend, but Richie had asked him to sleep over at his house on that same weekend.

Eddie had considered calling the sleepover at Richie's house off, but he had decided against it after all, he had decided he would apologize to the others and spend time with Richie instead.

It was a little selfish thing to do, but he hoped Ben and the others wouldn't mind if he missed one day at Barrens with them. He also hoped it wouldn't be suspicious that Richie wouldn't be there either.

While Eddie had been thinking about why exactly he did not want anyone to know about him and Richie spending time together, he had also finally decided that he had to tell his friends that he was gay. He really thought they should know, especially after he and Richie started dating.

Eddie was also aware of the fact that he and Richie couldn't act like nothing was happening between them in the future, so he knew that their friends just needed to know.

He actually didn't know if Richie was okay with telling them they were together just yet, but he wanted to at least tell them he was gay. He planned to do it the next time they were going to be together, probably at the Barrens again.

Eddie was replaying all of that and the last couple of days in his head while he was still waiting for Richie to arrive, and he didn't forget to make a mental note to apologize to Stan as soon as possible for not telling him he would not walk with him to school, but it was not such a big deal after all, at least Eddie thought it wasn't.

After a while, Richie distracted him from his thoughts because he had stopped his car right in front of Eddie. When Eddie came to his senses, he opened the door, and got inside.

''Hey.'' Eddie smiled at Richie, and Richie started slowly driving off. ''Hi Eds, did you have any dreams about me at night... any wet dreams?'' Richie smirked at him while he was still looking at the road, and driving like he didn't just said the most impolite and inappropriate thing ever.

''Eww gross! Shut up!...'' Eddie wasn't happy about his question, ''...or I would reconsider dating you.'' Richie laughed at him because he knew Eddie wasn't serious, in fact, he looked like he had expected a comeback from Eddie like that.

They had exchanged a few more sentences during the ride and had made some plans for the weekend before arriving in front of the school, so Eddie agreed that he was going to spend the night at Richie's house from Saturday to Sunday.

Richie parked the car in the parking lot; they got out of the car, and started walking towards the school together. Bill and Stan haven't been there yet, and Eddie was glad because he didn't want to explain to them why he had suddenly gone to school with Richie, but he still wanted to apologize to Stan for not walking to school with him, that hasn't changed.

However, Eddie wasn't sure what he would tell him because he couldn't just tell him he had gone to school with Richie. Mainly because Stan still didn't like him. He knew Stan would definitely ask him why they suddenly started talking and hanging out together, and Eddie didn't feel like answering that question.

Later when Eddie had a Chemistry class, he also made plans with Dorsey because they still had to work on their project on Friday. Dorsey wanted to start working on it at the weekend at first, but Eddie told him he would not be able to make it, so they decided to start working on it on Friday instead.
