The losers were given the basement for the summer. There were two pull out couches, which were comfortable enough, and could easily fit two of them per. And they had two cots, one which was given to Bev, being the only girl, and one which was given to Eddie, who didn't like the though of sleeping with another person for an entire summer. (Unless it was richie of course, but he didn't count, as he had a real bed in his own shared bedroom) And Stan and bill were put into one of the pull out couches, and Ben and mike were put into another.  

So far, the losers, plus mike, had spent almost the entire time in the basement, just goofing off and acting like idiots. Richie, as Eddie had noticed, was considerably less skinny, and he guessed that you could probably see less of his ribs if you looked at his chest. They spent the entire time in the basement, until Eddie  had taken Richie by the hand, and dragged him off out of the basement, leaving a smirking Bev, and the losers(plus mike) in the dust. 

Eddie had, in fact, led Richie into his own bedroom. (Calm your dirty minds ok?)

But as soon they arrived, Eddie just stared at the taller boy, scared to pieces. 

"Eds?" 

"Yeah?" 

"You dragged me here, and for the past minute, you've just been staring.. so you wanted something or... ?" 

"I just wanted to say uh... I missed you." Dammit! Screamed eddies mind. He was going to tel him, he was! 

"I missed you too spaghetti head." Richie said, grinning. 

"And uh.." SHITSHUTSHIT THERES NI GOING BACK NOW! 

"Ok real fast, I'll just say it." Eddie mumbled to himself, eyes glued to his feet. 

"I uh... I like boys.. I'm gay."

"Oh... anyone in particular?" Asked richie hopefully. 

"Yeah richie. I like you." Eddie said quietly.  "I get it if you hate me. I would hate me too." 

Richie stayed silent as tears built up in eddies eyes. 

Eddie stepped backwards, as if to leave, but Richie stepped forward. He let out a breath and used his hand to tilt Eddies face upward, then he cupped his face in his hands. 

As their lips met, Eddie let out a gasp before moving his lips in sync with richies. He wrapped his arms around richies neck as fireworks exploded in their stomachs. Yeah, it was awkward, as first kisses go, but it wasn't bad. It wasn't bad at all. 

When they separated, both of their faces were blushing pink

Eddie put a piece of richies curly hair behind his ear, and they stumbled out of the room, flustered,

Yes, but happy. Extremely happy. 

When they arrived back into the basement, the others were playing what appeared to be 'never have I ever' a game that was far too overly played amongst the losers,  right up there with truth or dare. I 

"Oh hey, we were just getting started if you wanted to join? We literally only did one question so far." Said Bev, smirking even bigger. 

"Yeah uh.. s-sure." Said Eddie. 

"I'm in!"

Yelled Richie, hopping down the stairs and diving into the circle of losers. 

"First question was never have I ever gotten into a fight." Said Ben. 

"Easy peasy!" Shouted richie. 

Eddie squirmed beside him, knowing what was bound to come up. And Bev knew. She knew he never had his first kiss. But.. if richie says he did, then he might get hurt if eddie lied and honestly he was getting pretty stressed out over it, and was only kind of paying attention. 

'Never have I ever smoked a cigarette', passed, and Richie groaned. 

"Ya know, I feel really targeted here!" He shouted. It did seem that way, as he already had four fingers down. (He'd kept his middle finger up) 

At his shout, Eddie kind of snapped out of his sort of trance. 

and then Stan said it. 

"Never have I ever had my first kiss." Eddies heart stopped, and he started coughing like a lunatic. Way to go Kaspbrak, he thought. 

There were some strange looks from the losers and Richie looked at him innocently, and put down his finger. Then Bev put down her finger, along with Ben, bill and mike. And then he put down his. 

Bev looked down at his finger and squealed. 

"Sorry, couldn't contain the fangirl in me." She said simply as Eddie groaned, his face red with embarrassment. 

"Kinda feeling left out here." Said mike. 

"Single Pringles for life I guess." Said Stan. 

Then the game went on, this time without richie, as he'd lost his last finger. 

// was that bad? I feel like it was REALLY BAD. Whateverrrrr
