Eddie did though. And that made Richie's heart warm. Eddie truly loved Richie, and Richie truly loved Eddie. Eddie loved Richie from his dark hair down to his falling apart shoes, he loved everything about him. He loved his ripped jeans, he loved his black nail polish. He loved everything that made Richie, Richie. Richie loved Eddie's freckles and his clothing style, his cute shorts and fanny pack always brought a smile to his face, but he'd never admit it. He loved his laugh and his perfect voice. He loved Eddie for Eddie.
