The sun shone brightly through the window, causing Richie to squint his eyes. He groaned loudly, desperately trying to block it out. He pulled the blanket over him in an attempt to do so but it was simply not working. He sighed as he rubbed his eyes. His brain seemed to be pounding against his skull as he sat up. Jesus, how much did I drink last night, he thought to himself.

"A lot." A voice sounded from behind him. He glanced over his shoulder and saw you making your way towards him. He chuckled quietly.

"Said that out loud, huh?" He asked, a smile on his face despite the throbbing of his head. You gave a small laugh.

"Yeah. Here. Some water and a Tylenol, to help with your hangover." You replied, handing him the small white tablet and a fresh bottle of water. He smiled, gratefully swallowing the pill and chugging all the water. After he finished, he couldn't help but smirk at you.

"Let me guess, you were my knight in shining armor... Again?" He asked, finishing off with a laugh. You shook your head and smiled.

"Well, that's one way to put it. I actually need to talk to you about something though." You replied, making sure to keep a smile on your face so you wouldn't scare him. He sighed and leaned back slightly.

"Oh jeez, what dumb shit did I say? Was it worse than last time?" He asked. You chewed on your lip.

"A bit, yeah." You replied. He raised his eyebrows.

"Really? What could possibly be worse than racist peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?" He asked. You gave a small laugh as you remembered Richie droning on about that odd topic the last time he got wasted. You swallowed before looking at your hands. Why am I so nervous? You know how he feels, just come out and say it already! But what if that was just the alcohol talking? What if he-

"Earth to (Y/n)? You good?" He asked, waving his hand in front of your face. You blinked before looking at him. You laughed quietly before nodding.

"Yeah. Yeah um... About last night. You kinda told me that Eddie was gay." You replied. His eyes widened and he sat straight up.

"Shit! Fuck! No! He told me that in confidence! Fuck!" He shouted, nervously running his hands through his hair.

"God, what else did I tell you?" He asked, fear clearly lacing his voice.

"You told me Bill was still emotional about Bev leaving." You replied. He closed his eyes and exhaled.

"Okay. Anyone with half a brain could've figured that out. Is there... Is there more?" He winced instinctively as you opened your mouth.

"Yeah... The most important actually." You replied. He inhaled and nodded.

"Alright, just tell me. Rip the band-aid off. Get it over with. Drop the-"

"You told me you had feelings for me." You interrupted. You watched as Richie's face fell. It was hard to place the emotions he was portraying, and you were sure if you tried you would get it wrong. You could see him swallow and no matter what, he wouldn't meet your gaze. He swung his feet over the edge of the couch.

"I think... I think I should go." He mumbled. He stood and steadied himself on the arm, still woozy from the hangover.

"No, Richie. It's okay. We can-"

"We can what (Y/n)? Still be friends? Work through this? I may be hungover but I'm not a moron. Just... Forget it happened okay." He said. You made an inaudible noise as he walked away and towards the door. It wasn't until he opened it that you were able to register everything. You quickly moved past the furniture and grabbed his wrist.

"Be together, Richie." You said. He turned slightly.

"What?" He asked. You sighed and closed your eyes.

"We can be together, Rich. That's what I was going to say. I've always loved you and last night when you were talking about me, I thought it might just be the intoxication but... The way you were speaking, I knew that it wasn't. I knew because that's the way I talk about you and I want nothing more than-"

Your words stopped midsentence as Richie's lips fell on yours. Your heart was beating out of your chest and your eyes instinctively closed. His scent of faded cologne met your nostrils and his lips still had a faint taste of Hennessey. You wrapped your arms around his neck and he wrapped his around your waist. It felt like you had waited an eternity for this, and every second had been worth it. He pulled away, keeping his forehead pressed against yours.

"We have got to stop interrupting each other." You whispered, causing both of you to smile.
