19 ~ I love you too

Eddie's Pov:

I quickly press my lips softly against his before he is able to say anything.

It's not like I was lying or anything.

I do love him.

The last couple days without him, I thought about it, a lot.

Since I've never been in love, I really didn't know like- how I would know.

SO I TALKED TO STAN :)

He helped me a little bit with my feelings...

He said that me and Richie just need to man up and tell eachothers feelings before its too late.

At first when I realized when I did love Richie, I almost didn't believe myself.

How could I already love him if we've only been dating for 2 weeks?

I mean, I liked him weeks before we started dating... but then how come I started to feel it once he left?

Stan told me that I was a dumbass, and that I was realizing it now because I didn't have Richie anymore.

Richie's Pov:

I quickly kiss him back but I couldn't for long..

I had so many fucking questions.

He loves me?

He ACTUALLY loves me?

I felt rude for keeping my eyes open but I couldn't physically close them.

Eddie Kaspbrak just told me that he loves me...

Eddie Kaspbrak just told me that he loves me.

Eddie just said that he loves meee!

I part away from Eddie's lips and stare at him with complete shock.

"What did you say?" I grin.

I needed to hear him say it again.

At least so I know he's being real with me.

"I said..." he pauses to fix the collar of my shirt.

"I said "I love you too", Richie." He smiles

"You do?"

I can barely keep in my happiness.

I am smiling like crazy. I probably look like a crackhead.

I could feel all of my negative emotions from earlier fading away into oblivion.

"You're not fucking with me right? You actually just said that you lo-"

"Yes! Richie. I love you. I love you, I love you, I love you. More than anything in the entire world." Eddie places his hands on my shoulders and shakes me a little.

"It feels amazing to hear you say it.. cause, ya know.. I thought you didn't." I explain.

"Which I think is so stupid. I make it so obvious." Eddie rolls his eyes at me.

"No you didn't. You were always complaining about how clingy I am." I frown.

Im not saying I'm not clingy... but don't call me clingy when I'm being clingy.

"Yeah, when Im trying to make freaking cupcakes and all you're doing is hugging and kissing me!" He laughs.

"No! I cleaned up all of flour." I scoff.
