Chapter Two

Richie woke up in the middle of the night to go use the restroom, he finished up and flushed the toilet looking at himself in the mirror "I don't need to take a break-" Richie said to himself quietly "My dating life is just fine!" He added, he sighed and turned off the water to wash his hands, he left the bathroom and walked downstairs opening the freezer grabbing a tub of ice cream and a spoon, he walked to the living room and plopped down on the couch "Eddie doesn't know what he's talking about! He's never even been in a relationship!" Richie mumbled to himself.

Eddie walked downstairs quietly and sat at the bottom of the steps. Richie scoffed "He doesn't know a damn thing about love!" Richie rolled his eyes "Charlie is the one! I know he is" Richie sighed softly. Eddie raised his eyebrows "Wow!" he stood up and walked upstairs and packed Richie's clothes and got his stuff together and walked downstairs placing Richie's stuff on the couch, he groaned and grabbed the ice cream from Richie licking the ice cream off the spoon "it's too late for ice cream!" He said putting the spoon in the sink and the ice cream in the freezer.

"No!!! It's not!" Richie walked back to the freezer and grabbed the ice cream. "Yes, it is! Put it back!" Eddie once again snatched the ice cream and put it back in the freezer. "Eddieeee!!! Please!" Richie whined sitting on the counter. "No!" Eddie sighed "Why are you up! It's the middle of the night" Eddie sat on the counter next to Richie. " I was waiting for you mom!" Richie ruffled Eddie's hair. "Do that again I'll tie you to the damn chair and eat the ice cream right in front of you!" Eddie smiled sarcastically.

"Ugh! I miss the old Eddie!!" Richie jumped off the counter and put his shoes and socks on. "You leaving?" Eddie asked looking back. "Yeah! I hate you!" Richie smirked. "You know you love me so shut up and go lay back down! It's too late!" Eddie chuckled and walked upstairs "Fuck-" Eddie said under his breath.

Richie walked upstairs standing at Eddie's door "you know you can just tell me what's bothering you!" Richie said softly. "You want to know what's bothering me, the fact that you wake up in the middle of the night, eat most of MY ice cream and now I can't go back to sleep because of you!" Eddie rolled his eyes. "Hah! There's the Eddie I know!" Richie smiled.

Eddie sighed and laid down covering himself closing his eyes, Richie tilted his head and sat on Eddie's bed "Sorry Spaghetti! I just...I really like this Charlie boy, he's so sweet and funny and he's really cute!" Richie smiled softly. "Okay, Richie! It's just you've been doing this love thing since middle school! And all you do is get hurt and I hate seeing you hurt because your my best friend and I love you, Richie! I hate seeing you hurt because some stupid bitch had their tongue down someone's throat!" Eddie said in a soft aggravated tone.

"You know what Eddie Fuck you!" Richie stood up and grabbed his phone and his keys walking downstairs quickly and grabbed his things, he slammed the door shut and got in his car heading home. Eddie didn't feel bad, he didn't hate himself for it, he was a little proud of himself because he knew that Richie would continue to think about that for a very long time.
