055 / Mood increase

"But you're comfortable." "Mhmm." "What time is it?" "12:08." "Let's go to bed." "Mhmm."

"Eddie would kill us if he knew we were out in the rain." I chuckle pulling into Stan's driveway.

"Hopefully he'll be asleep." "What the fuck?! You're gonna get sick." Eddie pulls us both into the house, sending Stan to his room.

"Why the fuck were you in the rain?" "Connor." "What did he do this time?" Eddie runs a towel over my head.

"Pulled a knife on us...I've never been angrier than tonight." I chuckle softly as Richie hands me clothes from Stan's room.

"You need to be more careful, you know?" "Yes. You've told me a bunch." I chuckle gently as he looks down at me.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" "I wanna kiss you." He giggles grabbing my head gently.

"Didn't you kiss Richie earlier?" "Uh...yeah..." "Has he talked to you?" "Nope." He kisses me once more before I see Stan crosses armed against the door frame. "I'm gonna wash clothes. Give me your wet ones." He says flatly before walking away.

"Hey...don't be mad." "Who said I am?" "Me." "Well, I'm not." "Don't try to pull away from me. Tell me what's wrong."

He sighs, clearly mad as I intertwine my fingers with his.

"I guess he's your bitch too?" "No." "Hmm. Okay." He walks away calmly, I stand in the dark hallway.

—thirty minutes late

"Hey..." "What?" "Calm down. I just wanna lay down." "Go lay in Eddie's bed." "Richie is already there." "Go sleep on the couch or something. That's comfortable."

I frown climbing onto the bed, laying completely on top of him. His breathing decreases as he becomes calm once again.

"But you're comfortable." "Mhmm." "What time is it?" "12:08." "Let's go to bed." "Mhmm." I look up at his gently, pulling his face close to mine as our lips connect.

"Good night bunny." I climb over him, lying beside him as he curls up next to me. "Night." I hear his mood increase in his voice as the light turns off.
