the next morning, eddie woke up to the smell of pancakes and bacon, along with the sound of water running and dishes clashing together, being put away. eddie rolled out of bed, flopping on his floor before standing up and scratching his head. he walked out of his bedroom and out into the kitchen. richie was facing away from him, seemingly zoned out as he washed a plate.

"richie," eddie said, trying to get his attention, but richie couldnt hear him over the water running. eddie walked up behind him and poked his waist, causing richie to flinch and accidently get some soapy water on eddie's face.

"fuck, sorry! i didn't hear you." richie said, using his thumb to wipe the water off of eddie's cheek. "well good morning, sleepy head. feeling any better? did you sleep okay?" richie asked him, turning the water off and drying his hands. he glanced at the clock. 1 PM.

"not really. i feel light headed, my head hurts like hell, and one nostril is runny and the other is stuffy." eddie complained, pouting and letting himself lean into richie. he stuffed his head against richie's neck and wrapped his arms around his waist. richie's heart sped up, suddenly feeling awkward, but he brushed it off.

"w-well, i made you pancakes and bacon. im sorry you feel so miserable right now, eds." richie said, wrapping his arms around eddie and squeezing him tighter and holding him against his chest. eddie legitimately felt like he could hug richie forever, he felt so content and comfortable in his arms. richie soaked in the affection. he loved being physically close to eddie, it was the best feeling in the world to him. richie leaned his head against eddie's and held him close for a few more minutes.

"well, i guess i should eat some of your breakfast before it gets cold, right?" eddie laughed and pulled away, running his hand through his own hair to get it out of his face. richie nodded and grabbed a plate for himself aswell. they sat at their little kitchen table and talked about random things, mostly eddie asking richie what he was missing in some of the lessons that they took together.

"this is really good rich, thank you," eddie said sincerely, shoveling the last few bites into his mouth. richie smiled, sitting back in his seat and burping loudly.

"woah, did you heaaaarrrr thaaaat?" richie said in a deep voice and laughed loudly, referencing the movie they watched together yesterday. eddie let out a loud laugh and shook his head, smiling. "and, 'course eds, anytime." he said, sighing and closing his eyes. "i ate too much and too fast." he groaned. eddie smiled and stood up, stretching and taking their dishes to the sink.

"well, i'm gonna go take a shower, it might make me feel a little better. need to get in the bathroom?" eddie asked and richie shook his head. eddie made his way to his bedroom and then the bathroom, and richie took some of this time to clean up the kitchen and put the food away.

eddie walked out of the bathroom with black sweatpants on and a grey hoodie, tossing his dirty clothes in the hamper and let richie know that he was out of the shower. he went back to the bathroom and began brushing his hair.

"hey eds, guess what i found?" richie asked from his bedroom.

"what?" eddie shouted back, sneezing and grumbling for getting saliva on his fresh clean clothes already.

"check it out!" richie said, jumping into the doorway and holding his arms out. he was wearing a massive sweater. on a tall and skinny boy like him, the sweater reached his mid-thigh and flew past his hands.

"why the fuck do you have such a big sweater?" eddie giggled, feeling the soft material in his hands. "ah, cause its soft." he said, letting go of it and running his fingers through his hair, fixing it.

"yeah that, and just cause i wanted one. i can hide myself in this bitch." richie said excitedly, like a little kid. "you should see if you can fit in it too. you've seen those youtube videos where like, two people fit into a large outfit and try to function, right? we should do that." richie laughed, waving his sweater paws around in eddie's face.

eddie rolled his eyes, "fine, c'mere." he said, smiling. he lifted up the sweater and easily fit inside of it with richie; that was how big it was. eddie blushed when he realized that richie didnt have anything underneath it, so he was pressed against his bare stomach, but he tried to ignore it. eddie stuck his head through the neck hole and one of his arms through the other arm hole. eddies other arm and hand were pressed against richie's underneath the sweater, and eddie blushed. richie laughed and cheered.

"yeahhh! look at us!" he said, smiling widely, eddie tried to hide his smile.

"are you sure you wanna be this close to me when im this fuckin sick?" eddie asked, his dark eyes looking up at richie. richie wrapped his arm around eddie's waist underneath the sweater.

"eds, how do i put this.. i simply do not care." he winked, kissing the top of his head. eddie blushed and quickly looked at the ground, then realizing that they were still in the bathroom.

"alright, so why exactly did you want to do this? what do you want to do?" eddie asked.

"i don't know, but i'm comfy. wanna go, like, lay in my bed or something?" richie asked, eddie furrowed his eyebrows and laughed.

"uh, okay?" he said, and they made their way to richie's bedroom, step-by-step. they nearly tripped over each other three times.

richie flopped down on his bed, pulling eddie down with him.

"ow! fuck," eddie said when he bumped into richie, but then he couldn't help but laugh.

"what's so funny?" richie smiled curiously.

"we're two nineteen year old boys, walking around in a massive sweater just for the fun of it." eddie stated. richie smiled, and they positioned themselves on their backs. eddie turned to his side and admired richie, who was still giggling because of what eddie said.

eddie felt so happy around richie, no matter what was going on, and he loved it. he loved feeling content just when in the presence of richie. he loved how richie could make him smile widely just by talking to him or going about his day. he hated how lonely and insecure he felt when richie wasn't around. he also hated how nervous he felt around richie. he hated that he couldn't stop his heart from beating ultra fast just because of physical contact. even now, pressed against richie's bare stomach, he felt butterflies.

richie turned to face eddie, because he could feel him looking at him, and his smile faded slowly as he felt the intimacy. richie didn't know what he was thinking, or why he wasn't thinking, but he lifted his hand to rest it on eddie's cheek and then inched forward to plant a kiss on eddie's forehead. eddie's eyes fluttered shut and richie let the kiss linger before pulling away. eddie leaned into the warm touch on his face, and he moved his arm underneath the sweater to rest it on richie's stomach. he started tracing hearts onto his skin and he wondered if richie could tell.

"hey eds?" richie whispered, moving his thumb back and forth against eddie's hair.

"hmm?" eddie hummed, feeling nervous about what richie could possibly be about to say.

"can i.. can i kiss you?" he asked, immediately regretting it, but it was already too late. he avoided eye contact with him the best he could, but it was hard when eddie was the only thing he could focus on. eddie nodded, feeling his heart beat in his chest and moving his hand to richie's waist to pull him closer.

richie connected their lips, and he intended on only pecking him, but when richie pulled away, eddie simply couldn't resist the feeling he's been craving for a while now. he inched closer to kiss him again, resting his hand on richie's cheek as he moved to slightly hover over richie.

their chests bumped together as the kiss deepened, and they kissed passionately as they've both been secretly wanting to do since they met eachother. eddie was so happy that he smiled against richie's lips, accidently giggling and then pulling away.

"what's so funny?" richie smiled, pulling eddie back down by the back of his neck and kissing his jawline. he left kisses down eddie's neck before sucking on his skin, pulling him closer by his waist.

"i've been wanting to kiss you for so long now." eddie admitted, tilting his head to give richie better access to his neck. he tangled his hand in richie's dark hair and sighed blissfully.

richie smiled and connected their lips again, this time in a more delicate and soft kiss, before pulling away and resting his head against eddie's. by now, both of their arms were underneath the big sweater that was basically serving as a blanket at this point. eddie left a few kisses all over richie's face. one by his temple, one on his cheek, one between his eyes and then one more on his lips. richie closed his eyes and smiled as he did this, and then eddie laid his head down in the crook of richie's neck, still mostly on top of him.

he traced his fingers along richie's chest, collarbones, and arms, feeling his soft and warm skin under his fingertips. richie's arms locked themselves around eddie's waist, his palms pressed firmly on eddie's back as he pulled him closer and tangled his legs with his. richie kissed the top of eddie's head and eddie returned the kiss onto his neck and they laid there in eachother's arms, exchanging small kisses in to the evening.

the next morning, richie woke up with a sore throat and runny nose, but he couldn't have been any happier.
