Awe, Eds. Look at you." Richie cooed teasingly, pinching Eddie's slowly flushing cheek.

Eddie quickly began swatting at Richie's hand, his eyebrows furrowed heavily and a frown on his lips, "Don't touch me with your rotten hands, asshole!"

Richie ignored his protests and flinched away from his swats, moving his hand to now over his shoulders and pulling the smaller boys frame into his own side, a grin on his lips. "You're such a cutie, Eds."

"No, No I'm fucking-"

"Both of you, shut up." Stanley grumbles after rolling his eyes several times at the two.

Richie snapped his eyes at Stan, glaring through his coke bottle glasses, which only enhanced his eye size even more. He held Eddie closer, even with Eddie's flushed cheeks he still squirmed lightly.

Stan sighs in relief and folds his arms as the group goes back to its usual discussion about the new random comic book of the week. Eddie couldn't help but allow his heart to beat faster at Richie's touch against his form, making him feel protected in his stronger grip. He couldn't help but zone out as Richie begun to bicker that his comic book that he found was better than Stan's.

Bill tilted his head, analysing Eddie as his eyes would flicker all over the place with his mouth gaping before closing every now and then and gulping. He knew that how he was acting wasn't the norm for Eddie whenever Richie was like this, something was different. Not to mention that he had stopped struggling against Richie who wasn't even holding Eddie tightly or forcing him in place.

Bill smiled a bit, as something clicked inside of his head- a plan. But he was going to need Stanley to help out.

That night, on the way home from their adventurous summer day- Bill was walking Eddie home as Stanley had taken Richie to a different route. Bill hummed a tune as he walked alongside his friend, grinning as he turned to look at him.

"So..."

Eddie looked at Bill, tilting his head, "So?"

"So, y-..you and Richie?"

"Yeah?" Eddie was confused, almost disgust in his voice- but Bill could see past the faux disgust.

"I saw how you were t-today, Eddie. Y-you were blushing."

This again, only caused Eddie to heat up as his form became a flustered mess and he glared at Bill. "You would blush too if someone touched your arm!"

"N-no, I'd only b-blush if Bev touched my arm there." Bill pointed out, "but in this instance, you blushed when Richie had his arm around you- as well when he pinched your cheek and called you a 'cutie', it's quite obvious."

Eddie snapped his head away, patting his fanny pack for reassurance for himself. "Whats your point?"

"My point? M-my point is that he's flirting with you; y-you like him."
