Eddie's POV:
Time Jump: 4 days after the carnival (Wednesday)
"You don't have to go back today if you don't want to." Lena says trying to comfort me.
"I don't want to... but I want to see Richie."
"I could pick you up early." she offers.
I look out the car window at he shitty school and sigh.
"No, I have to do this." I say.
"Ok, and Richie is still gonna drive you home?"
"Yea." I say pulling my backpack on to my shoulders.
"Okay, I'm ready."
"K, good luck Eddie." she says with a comforting smile.
Richie's POV:
"Where the hell is he?" I ask Bill annoyed.
"Do I l-look like his b-boyfriend." Bill says back with sass.
"Damn someone's salty."
"S-Suck a dick!" Bill says almost yelling as he was scolding me.
Surprised I turn away from the door and look at him shook.
"Bill what's wrong." I ask putting my hand on top of his. He pulls his hand away and says,
"N-Nothing, I'm fine."
"No you're not." I insist trying to get him to talk.
"Richie just l-leave me alone." he says rolling his eyes and pulling away from me.
I turn back to the front of the class and see the teacher sleeping on his chair, I look towards the door anxiously waiting for Eddie then I finally see he's face peeking through the window and I my whole burst with every and a smile appears on my face. I run over to the door and open it for him. I stare into his eyes wanting to just kiss him. I try my best not to hug him the second he enters the room then the teacher behind me says,
"Hello Eddie."
We both break out of our zone and he says,
"Hey, Mr.... Sir?" Eddie says confused.
The teacher just rolls his eyes saying,
"You could sit where ever you want, ask someone for the notes and the packet is here." he says rolling his eyes as he twirls around and sits back in his chair.
I grab Eddie's hand and drag him to me and Bill.
"Sit." I say pulling him down into a chair excitedly.
"Calm down." he says giggling.
I watch Bill try to smile at Eddie but he fails ultimately. Eddie notices and ask,
"You okay Bill?"
"Yeah... can I talk with you later though?"
"Sure." Eddie says with his adorable smile.
I feel my smile fade as I think about what Bill wanted to tell Eddie that he couldn't tell me. But then Eddie grabs me from my side making me just fucking melt. I turn to him as he sits on my lap and I just stare into his gleamy eyes and gently kiss his nose.
"What took you so long?" I ask while wrapping my arms around him.
"I didn't feel good." he says in a soft voice.
I look down at him worried and ask,
"What was hurting?"
"Nothing, I was just worried, and I guess anxious." he says looking up at me.
I push his hair to the side with my hand and slide it down his cheek.
"Are you okay now though?" I ask bothering him.
"Yea." he says with a smirk. "Just let me be the protective one okay?"
"Yea yea." I say before tickling him.
He bursts out laughing and almost falls off of my lap.
"Stopp!!...." he cries out as he starts to choke on his laughter.
"Richie, stopp!!..." he says again laughing before he looks around and sees all the students staring at us, and then he gets serious.
"Stop Richie!!" he says pushing me away from him.
I feel my heart shatter and he gets off my lap and sits next to Bill. I look down at my paper and pretend to work as I try to hold back tears I felt coming up. I feel his eyes on me but I ignore it til I feel his hand lay on my thigh.
"Richie I'm sorry." he whispers to me.
I pull my leg away from his hand aggressively and say,
"For what?"
"Richie come on." he says grabbing my hand.
"You didn't do anything." I say grabbing his hand back trying to convince him.
He rolls his eyes than says,
"I just don't want everyone knowing I'm gay yet."
"Yea... I get it." I say before pulling my hand away. "You should go talk to Bill now." I say pulling my hand away.
I hear him let out a sigh and get up.
"Okay."
I feel him put his arm on my shoulder and he says,
"I'll see you next class." he says in a soft voice.
"..."
He waits for a response but I say nothing.
I feel him lift his hand and I start to hear his tiny footsteps.
"Eddie." I say turning around.
He looks back at me with a smile and asks,
"Yea?"
"I love you."
"... I love you too." he says blushing as he turns around and walks out the door with Bill.
