- they're in college or something and richie gets really drunk one night and just calls eddie and just starts going off like

- "EDS. i'm really drunk right now and i've just been thinking about you and i was thinking about you the other day too and i'm just so glad that we're friends you know? you are just like... so amazing and i love ya to pieces"

- and he's doing one of his dumb voices and eddie is speechless because richie just keeps going like

- he just goes on and on about all the things he likes about eddie and is just like "and i can't believe that i get to hang out with you you're just so strong you know? you don't take any shit. when someone says something fucked up you don't take it sitting down you know? i wish i was half as strong as you"

- and he'll get sidetracked and start talking about some dumb shenanigans he and bev got up to and eddie will laugh and richie will remember he called to talk about eddie and be like "oh right i'm getting sidetracked, back to all the reasons why you're so great, eds."

- and he'll start on another tangent and some of it is repeats of what he's already said bc he's drunk but like it's just so genuine and earnest

- and eddie wasn't expecting this at all he was just getting ready for bed and he's like...in the common room of his dorm and he's getting teary eyed bc wtf richie and so he gathers up his stuff and runs up to his room for some privacy while richie is just loudly ranting to him about how wonderful he thinks eddie is

- "EDS. I just. I LOVE YA. I think the WHOLE WORLD of ya. I can't believe such a great cool person like you spends more than 20 minutes with a dumb asshole like me you're just so great. I don't think you could ever do anything that would ever make me mad at you. I just love having you on a pedestal and I don't EVER wanna bring you down."

- "you know, if there was an album of like...the best of eddie kaspbrak...it would all be interactions between you and me. sure the rest of the losers might be in there once or twice i'm sure they've had some good times with you but YOU AND ME man."

- and eddie is outright sniffling right now and trying not to let richie know that he's crying over how fucking dumb and sweet richie is being and richie's like

- "and i hope you know you're stuck with me. you ain't getting rid of me any time soon. i'm like...the strep throat of friendship i just keep coming back and i can't get enough of you."

- "and don't you ever fucking give up on me eds. you do so much for me like...my whole life is basically just like...you know when someone starts to trip and they try to just like...keep running forward to catch themselves? like that's me and you just stick with me and make sure i don't do something stupid enough to actually kill myself"

- "you're just so good. don't you ever fucking let go and die on me. i think you dying is the only thing that could ever make me mad at you, you know."

- and then bev comes back from the bathroom at whatever bar they're at and richie is just like

- "oh shit bev is coming back from the bathroom i gotta go but just remember i love ya eds. when we get off the phone i want you to pull up that song by that Toto guy. africa you know the one? just listen to that song and remember that i love ya"
