{seventeen} everyone is at the sleepover

the first to arrive is stan. second is ben, third is bev, mike and will arrive at the same time, along with dustin, lucas, and max following close behind them.  richies and mike hanlon arrived soon after, and the last to get there were eddie and alissa, but they eventually made it.

"hey guys," eddie smiled as he put his things down.

richie didn't tell anyone, but he intended to be very clingy to eddie tonight.

richie ran up to eddie and lifted him off the ground, hugging him tightly.

"okay, okay, put me down!" eddie squirmed, trying to get back on the ground.

stan also hugged eddie once richie put eddie down. stan didn't like eddie like that what-so-ever, he just still felt bad for what he caused.

alissa set her things down and thanked bill for inviting her.

"who is who? i don't know the faces but i know the names. wait, let me guess!" she corrected herself.

everyone stood in a line.

the actual order was: max, mike h, dustin, lucas, will,  richie, eddie, stan, mike w, bill, beverly, and ben.

"going down the line, let me guess: you're max, you're mike hanlon, you're dustin, you're lucas, you're will, you, uh, not sure, you're eddie, duh. i think you're richie because you hugged eddie, um, mike wheeler? you're bill, you're beverly, and you're ben?" "so i guess you're stan." she pointed to richie.

stan made a fake- puking sound.

"i am not richie, no offense, but richie is awful. i'm stan. but i hugged eddie because i feel bad about doing something."

"i'm richie. but you got everyone right, congrats! now, let's get this fucking party started!"

they all ran to the living room to get good spots.

however, eddie couldn't get a good spot because he was in the bathroom, so he just sat on richie's lap.

"what movie?" bill asked, getting the remote. "anything but E.T." they all sounded exasperated.

after a few hours they played truth or dare.

"richie, truth or dare?" max asked.

"truth like a savage."

"if eddie wasn't in the group, who would you date?"

"i'd find eddie, get him in the group, and date him." he laughed.

eddie blushed, and alissa nudged his shoulder, smiling at him.

"alright.." max trailed off, almost giggling too.

"okay, hmmm, who to chose, who to chose," richie smirked and turned to eddie. "eddie spaghetti! truth or dare?"

"dare." eddie smiled, and richie gasped. "ooo, i dare you to-" he got cut off by stan's hand over his mouth. "don't say it, richie. not here, not now." stan hissed. "fine," richie frowned. "wh-what? what was it?" bill asked curiously. stanley shaped his thumb and pointer finger into a circle, and he put his other pointer finger through that hole, creating a sign that everyone understood.

eddie gasped and slapped richie's arm. "gross!" he yelled at richie, who was laughing his ass off.

eddie sighed, and just rolled his eyes.

"who's next?" beverly asked.

after hours of fun, it was about time to go to bed.

"i'm not even tired!" richie pleaded, as he sat on the couch while everyone was dragging their blankets and things to bill's room.

"richie, come on, you have to be a little bit tired." stanley rolled his eyes.

richie shook his head.

"c'mon," eddie pulled his arm. richie allowed eddie to pull him off the couch and push him all the way up the stairs. eddie had already set up richie's things.

richie groaned while pulling his blanket over top of him. "night guys." bill yawned as he turned off the lights.

"night," everyone except richie responded.

eddie rolled over so he was next to richie, and whispered in the taller boy's ear. "please, just try and go to sleep. you haven't been getting enough recently and i can tell." eddie whined, as he put his arm on richie's chest. richie nodded and kissed eddie's forehead. "night, love bug." richie winked, and he took off his glasses.

eddie blushed and scooted a little closer to richie. richie put his arm around eddie and hugged him tight.

eddie fell asleep almost instantly after richie did this. eddie always felt safe in richie's arms, and he always will.

morning grew faster than nightfall, and as soon as they all knew it, they were back in their own homes. except for alissa, of course. but that is her home for now, at least.
