Don't fucking underestimate me, dickwad. [It's a gentle threat, one that is simply Eddie and always has been ever since they were children trapped in this hell town. Richie should be used to them by now, hell maybe this was their way of showing each other affection? Eddie still feels way to uneasy for his liking but any other choice would have led to him not making it. 

He goes silent for a moment, his head falling to the side of his pillow as he bites back a bit of pain. This all still feels like a horrible nightmare, he's waiting for more horrible things to happen at any given second now. 

But the hospital room is at ease and he has Richie. That's what is important, Richie.]

I'm glad you didn't get hurt.
