[ Richie doesn't know what to say to that, too in shock to resist Eddie pulling his hand back down. They are words he's waited to hear for so long and never remembered until he came back to this godforsaken town. Eddie's beautiful face and eyes always something he wanted to see, so he kept trying to keep his attention before he even knew what he was doing and why.
Even now, with both of them older, Richie still thinks he's beautiful to look at. His best friend still the same, more willing to be gentle and vulnerable just as quickly as flying off the handle and kicking a demented clown in the face.
He never dared to think those feelings would ever be returned like they are now.
Which all leaves him fucking speechless. Of fucking course. ]
