Their fingers slipped apart. Richie's hand rested on his stomach while Eddie's hand fell to the space between them. Richie looked like he was trying to figure out a puzzle. "You okay?" Eddie asked. Richie looked over at Eddie for a second with a small grin and a wink. "Peachy," he said. But by the way he looked back up at the ceiling, his smile disappearing straight away, Eddie knew he was lying. OR Richie and his new neighbor spend each night talking on their awnings. An effortless friendship unfolds between them that forces Richie to come to terms with his struggles of being the son of their small town's most popular religious leader. (modern AU) This can also just be read as a regular LGBT love story for those of you who haven't read or watched "It." _______ Also available on AO3.
