"Stop." A giggle catches Richie by surprise. "Henry..." he giggles catching Richie's eye.

Henry stands behind him, his arms wrapped around Eddie's torso as he kisses his neck gently.

"You're tickling me dummy let go." "You're so pretty." "Oh stop." He blushes pulling away from the boy's grasp and hiding behind Richie.

Richie's breathing hitches as Eddie wraps his arms around the boy's tiny waist.

Richie sets down the comic book he had in hand. "Save me Rich." He giggles as Henry chuckles.

"Victor? What's wrong baby?" Victor glides down the stairs slowly, a blanket wrapped around his back tears formed in his eyes.

Eddie rolls his eyes as Richie walks away. "Baby..." Richie frowns pulling the boy close.

"I'm just tired...I'm okay." He sighs snuggling his face onto Richie's chest.

"Come cuddle with me?" "Not right now. Maybe later okay?" "Okay." He grins kissing Richie's jawline.

"Oooh your cheeks are red Rich." "Oh shut up you little gremlin." "Am not." "Yup." "Nope." "Yup." "Nope." "Just kiss already." Beverly chuckles dodging a knife being flown in her direction.

"I have a boyfriend." "And Richie stinks." "Hey!" "Just saying facts." He shrugs as Henry follows behind.

"Should've taken the chance Tozier." "I have a boyfriend ya know." "Yeah. And you also told me that-" "I know what I told you...no need to bring it up now."

Stan squeals as Patrick picks him up from behind. Weirdly Richie frowns, seeing the two so happy makes him jealous.

His relationship is going fine. It's just missing something. Something important.

"No Henry. We've only known each other for a couple weeks." "And those two are engaged. They've only known each other for like two months."

"Unlike them, I have standards." "Hey, you asshole." Stan mutters. "It's the truth." "Hmm."

"Just say yeah? I promise you won't regret it." "No Henry. I like someone else." "Maybe if you give me a chance, you'll actually change your mind."

He picks the boy up, Eddie's short legs wrap around Henry's torso.

"Please?" "No." "Why not?" "I like someone else." "Who is it?" "I'm not telling you." "What's he like?" "Actually funny." Henry frowns jokingly.

"I'm funny." "Sure." "You're so mean," Henry chuckles. "What else?" "He's very kind...um...he knows how to treat people." "How?" "Nicely. How to help them when they're sad or whatever."

"What's his name?" "I'm not telling you." "Fine." Henry chuckles as Eddie rests his head on Henry's collarbones.
