[ Richie goes in and out of the movie, dozing and then waking up at moments he's already seen a dozen times (if not more). He checks a few times if Eddie is still awake, usually finding his eyes closed when he does so. Oh well. He won't ruin his sleep.
And by the time they reach the end, he can hear Eddie's rhythmic breathing enough to not even care about saying aloud: ]
I want a man to give me flowers and a dog in a bow. Ugh.
[ But life isn't fair and he isn't a sexy dancer working as a welder. (What a weird way to remember his mom told him she had wished he was a girl more than a few times. Good grief.) He lets the movie play out and reaches over to the side of the couch to pull the lever, pushing the end into reclining back. The other end did it, too, just not the middle. His legs go up and his top goes back, moving Eddie down to his chest if he doesn't wake up again.
Richie falls back asleep and the tv eventually turns off on its own thanks to the energy saver setting after a few hours of no activity. More hours will pass and sunlight will come flitting in through the gaps in the curtains, dimming the lights still on in the room. Richie is just gonna keep on snoring softly where he is. ]
