Richie's POV:
Time: 3 days after Richie's party
I wake up with my throat still burning so I turn over and pick up another cough drop. I open my phone and see it s already 12 o'clock and Eddie has texted me 18 times. I decide to call him since I haven't even heard his voice since New Years. The phone rings, and rings, and rings, until he finally picks up.
"Hi Eddie Spaghetti." I say holding back a cough.
"Hey, are you feeling better?"
"A little." I say lying.
"But you're still sick?"
"Yea." I say in a low voice.
I hear him sigh then he says,
"Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?"
"You could call me daddy for the week." I say smirking.
"No." he says giggling.
"Pleaseeee???" I beg.
"Ughhh... only in private though."
"Yay." I cheer before I burst out coughing.
"Have you been taking the cough syrup I dropped off?" he asks concerned.
"Yess."
"Mmmk." he says while making some ruffling sound.
For a moment neither of us say anything. I just listen to his breathing until he breaks the silence saying,
"I miss you."
"I miss you too." I say laying my head back. "It's so boring with out you he-"
I hear someone opening the door and I hide my phone under the blanket and pretend to sleep but then I hear my mom's voice chuckling and say,
"I know you're up."
I whisper into my phone and say,
"Ed's I have to go, I love you." and I hang up.
"You could've still talked, I was just bringing down your cough syrup." she says handing me a tiny cup.
"Ughhhhh do I have to drink it?"
"It's gonna make you feel better." she says trying to convince me to drink it.
"Finee." I say annoyed.
I drink it quickly and pick my head up so it doesn't touch my tongue and I give her back the little cup. She gets up but before walking out the door she says,
"You can talk to me Richie."
"I know." I say covering my chest with the blanket again.
She leaves and I turn my body to face the TV and I go on Netflix. I open The Fosters season 2 and put episode 18. Just minutes in I already feel myself falling asleep but I try my best to at least make it up to the Jonnor kiss scene.

Eddie's POV:
Time: 3 hours after Richie fell asleep
I lay down in my bed bored in my own head as I wait for Richie to call again with my phone in my hand then I hear Noah calling me. Happy I'm needed I jump up off my bed and run out to see him right in front of my door.
"Yea?" I ask excited to stop being bored.
"Did you want to play table hockey?"
"Sure." I say putting my phone in my pocket as I walk to the hockey table.
We play a couple rounds is awkward silence but then I have the gut to ask him,
"Have you still been cutting?"
He freezes for a second then serves while saying,
"No... I didn't want to hurt Stef, Lena, and Bev"
"How about yourself though?"
"What do you mean?" he asks confused.
"Do you still feel like cutting?"
"I mean... sometimes."
"Why?"
"I don't know.... I just feel like I don't deserve this perfect family, and perfect friends, and my perfect girlfriend..." his voice starts to quiver as he says, "I'm just not good enough for you guys... and I don't want to disappoint you."
He starts to wipe his tears as I walk around the table to hug him...
I try to think of what to say, but sometimes all people really need is a hug.

Richie's POV:
Me and Tris are sitting in the living room watching The Office when Eddie calls me and I jump up off the couch and run into my room.
I finally pick up and hear him excitedly saying,
"Hi Daddy."
"Oh my god, I just nutted." I say moaning jokingly.
"EwWww stop." he whines. "Look outside."
"What?"
"Look outside!" he says again getting annoyed.
"I don't have a window. My rooms in the basement."
"Oh my god really? I always thought had a window... Wait hurry up, go to the door then."
"Okay, I'm going." I say running to the front door. "Did you get me like a dildo or something??? Oh my god is it a dildo in the exact shape of your di-"
"NO ewww!" he says screeching. "Are you at the door yet?"
"Yea wait I have to put on a coat before I open it."
"Ughhhh! Hurry up alre-"
I open the door and see Eddie standing in front of my doorstep. At first I don't know what to do, but then I take a step back and say,
"Eddie you're gonna ge-"
Eddie quickly steps forward and grabs the back of my neck and presses his lips against mine. I pull back but then he whispers,
"It's okay Daddy."
I grab him from his thigh and pick him up. I shut the door and try to walk through the hallway kissing him while trying not to fall. He grabs my shoulders while pressing his lips against mine and he bites the bottom of my lip. I start to walk down the basement stairs when I hear someone calling out,
"Richie baby who's down there?"
Shit! We stop kissing for second and I catch my breath before saying,
"No one!"
I bring him down into my basement and lay him on my bed and he grabs my shoulders and pulls me down to his face...
