    Summary

    “When was your first day?” He asks, unsure if that is an appropriate question to ask. Several moments slide by before Richie moves to take his glasses off and set them on his nightstand. He closes his eyes once they are off like there's no point in trying to see anything without them.

    “Fourth grade,” Richie answers quietly.

    “Fourth grade?” Eddie repeats incredulously, amazed that anyone could send their kid off to boarding school so young. For a moment, he tries to imagine what little 9-year-old Richie would look like, tiny suitcase in hand as he waved goodbye to his parents. Maybe he even cried after lights out. Eddie frowns against his pillow.

    “God,” Freddy said, hopping from foot to foot a couple times before leaping a few feet into the air. “You know you’re fucked up when not being in pain is your favourite superpower.”

    Summary

    Freddy is afraid.
    He opens his eyes and ten minutes have gone by. He’s in the same exact spot, except Billy’s left the room and his limbs are sore because he’s gone all tense in a way that sends spikes of pain shooting up his leg. He sits there for just about twenty minutes, trying to staunch the panic clawing its way into every pore of his body.
    He ignores it, and is afraid.
