    Summary

    As Richie flinches at every touch, Eddie is determined, scowling as he tries to repair the mess, fix the one type of problem that he can solve.

    Richie doesn’t tell him why it happened, because Eddie knows. So, he watches him work in silence. He doesn’t cry, he doesn’t rant, he doesn’t get angry at the world for hating him through no fault of his own. Richie focuses on Eddie, and his heart fills instead with gratitude and something else that is immense and buoyant and powerful. But, just like the rest of his feelings, he shoves that away too. Files it deep within his psyche so that he can maybe evaluate it later, determine its relevance on his own time.

    ruminations, from Richie's pov.

    Summary

    “You know, once you do it the first time, it’s really not that big of a deal anymore,” Richie says, his tone comforting. Eddie feels his shoulders relax at his words.

    “Sure, but when is that ever going to happen?” Eddie complains, shrugging hopelessly. “People don’t like me as is, I doubt someone would like me enough to want to put their mouth anywhere near me.”

    “I put my mouth near you all the time,” Richie replies, then pulls a sour face like he wants to suck the words back in.

    Summary

    Beverly pulled the conversation that time, “Why don't you ask him out?”

    Mike nodded at her, almost in agreement.

    “Because-” Eddie started flailing his hands around a moment, “-I've had this dream since fucking 6th grade that Richie would ask me out.”

    Beverly stared at him sympathetically then and opened her mouth to say something.

    “You can ask him out first,” Stan interrupted, pointing out, “-and then he can ask you out. Simple.”

    “It's not-”

    “I get it, Eddie,” Mike followed, maybe trying to break up fucking… Stan, “-he's been flirting with you for so long, you just want to see him execute on it.”

    “Yes, yeah,” Eddie sighed, running a hand through his hair, “-it's kinda fucked up if I have to finally do it.”

    “Well,” Bev pursed her lips (cherry red, it was kinda her signature thing) like she was thinking, “-why don't you just kick it up a notch?”

    Or Eddie is stubborn and wants Richie to make the first move (Beverly has a solution).

    Summary

    They’ve skipped class to do this. This; meaning the two of them sneaking off from fourth period to blow each other behind the school, down near where the property ends and the grass starts to run high.

    It didn’t start off so crass, with Richie’s pants hoisted around his waist and his head thumping against the brick of the school. He’s completely out in the open and shivering because he left his windbreaker in his locker, warm only where Eddie’s hand and Eddie’s mouth is on him, fuck. It’s completely ridiculous. Absurd. Insane. And now, apparently, it’s the new normal.

    Or: Eddie and Richie are Totally Straight FWBs

    Summary

    "Okay. So what, do I just, like...wrap my hand around it and squeeze?"

    "Are you talking about my neck or my dick? Because the answer could be yes for both."

     

    Or: Richie thinks this whole friends-with-benefits thing he has with Eddie is going great, as long as he can keep his feelings under lock and key — until, that is, he tries to ask for what he wants. It's possible Eddie knows him better than he knows himself.
