—richie—
We were a tangled mess when I woke up. He was laying on top of me with his head on my chest and a hand gripping my shirt. I gently kissed his head and rolled over slowly.
I looked down at him as his eyes fluttered open and a small frown appeared on his lips.
Richie: mornin' eddie spaghetti
Eddie: morning shit head
I chuckled and kissed his forehead before getting up to stretch. He rubbed his eye absent minded and winced as his fingers touched his bruises. I sat in front of him and moved his hand from over his eye and kissed his knuckles
Richie: don't touch
Eddie: it hurts...
Richie: I know baby...
I rubbed my thumb over his cheek and gave him a weak smile.
Richie: wanna go get milkshakes? it'll make you feel better...
His eyes lit up and he smiled brightly
Eddie: yes please!
I laughed and helped him out of bed, his muscles were still sore from his beating. He changed real quick in his closet and we took off downstairs.
His mom sat at the kitchen table and stopped us at the door
Sonia: oh my god Eddie! What happened to you?!
Eddie: oh— I... it was just soccer practice. Got a little rough...
She approached him with worried eyes and cupped his face. She scanned the rest of his body, noticing the obvious bruises scattered on his legs and arms
Sonia: and your going out?! You should get some rest dear, you look awfully sore...
Eddie: I'm fine ma, Richie was just gonna take me to get ice cream
She glanced down at Eddies hand that was intertwined with mine, and then up at my face. I gave her a smile
Richie: don't worry Mrs.K, I'll keep him safe
She sighed and shook her head
Sonia: Okay... but be home in an hour dear, call me if you have troubles
Eddie: thank you ma
He opened the door and tugged me outside, shutting the door behind me and leading me to my car.
Richie: your mom looked awfully cute today eds, maybe I should of invited her to get ice cream
Eddie: shut up asshole!
I snickered and started my mustang, taking off down the street towards the diner

Richie: think I can balance this cherry on my nose?
Eddie giggled and shrugged. I took the cherry from my chocolate milkshake and balanced it on my nose before eating it in one bite. Eddie clapped and I bowed my head
Eddie: whoo! Good job bubba
I smiled and my eyes trailed to his doe brown eyes, and then his black bruise that framed those deep innocent eyes. I placed my hand on the table and he took it immediately.
Richie: I'm real sorry...
Eddie: stop that, it wasn't your fault. Really...I'm okay
Richie: I know, I just... I hate seeing you hurt
