[ When Richie steps away Eddie can't fucking help it - he steps forward, keeping the distance between them as minimal as possible. They're inside of Richie's room now, and there really isn't any going back, at least not for Eddie.
Whatever he's expecting Richie to say, it definitely isn't that. Eddie's heart throbs in his chest and there's no way it's because of what his body is doing. Hearing Richie tell him that so plainly, seeing him trying so hard to keep himself in check - it makes Eddie's face crumple. ]
It's you, [ he answers, reaching out to curl his fingers around Richie's wrist, trying to pull his hand away from that gorgeous face. ] It's always been you. I just - I never let myself see it.
[ not to mention his memories being stolen away by an evil entity, but that's besides the point right now. ]
