steddie
warning: richies a jerk in this and it's more platonic but it's still steddie

EDDIE FUMBLED with his thumbs nervously, looking down, away from the taller boy.

they had stood there in silence for a few minutes now, eddie standing in front of the porch and stan leaning against the doorframe, inside the house. the sound of rain hitting the concrete and grass near them, in the dark night. stan couldn't help but wonder why eddie would be at his house, so late in the rain.

"eddie, we've been standing here in silence for five minutes. what's wrong?" stan asked softly, he also couldn't help but worry for his shorter friend.

especially when it sounds like he's crying, or has been.
"richie- he," eddie burst into tears, letting out small sobs. stans eyes widened, and he quickly pulled eddie into the empty feeling house. he brought him upstairs and into stans room, pulling him into a hug and rubbing his back in a way of comforting him.

after a few minutes of stan comforting a crying eddie, eddie had finally calmed down. stan sighed softly, pulling away. eddie already missed stans arms wrapped around his small frame.

"eddie, can you tell me why your crying?" he asked calmly, like usual.
"richie he- he broke up with m-me" eddie sniffled, wiping his tears.

stans eyes widened. richie, breaking up with eddie? they looked like the perfect couple. how could richie break the poor boys heart? stan was so confused. how? what the hell.

"what? why?"
"he found someone else-"

"he what?!" stan yelled, startling eddie. he calmed down quickly, apologizing. "sorry, i didn't mean to startle you. but how could he? that's so jerky."

eddie nodded silently, looking down.
he watched his tears roll down his face and hit the carpet, sniffling softly.

"hey.. it's ok. he doesn't deserve you. you'll find someone better." stan whispered softly, hugging him again.
eddie melted into the touch, hugging him back.

stan whispered 'it's okay's, and comforted him for a while. eddie finally started to feel a bit sleepy.

stan layed him down in his bed, laying across from him. eddies eyes started to fall, and stan couldn't help but admire the boy next to him. who wouldn't? he was so pretty.

the last thing eddie mumbled before falling into a deep sleep was, "i hate feelings."
