Chapter 22: Camping gone wrong

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Swimming, Cmon!!" He laughed, taking him to the water.

"Wait but I haven't got my swim shorts on yet!!"

Richie scooped him up and ran to the dock, "RICHIE NO I DONT WANT TOO AH!!" He jumped in the lake.

Eddie gasped for air, "holy fuck that's fucking cold."

Richie came up to be surface, and started laughing.

"You asshole!! Asshole!!" He kept hitting him, making him laugh even harder.

He splashed him, until it turned into a big splash fest. Of course Eddie had no chance but he still had fun.

"Cmere." Richie took his hands.

"What? Gonna splash me again?"

"No.." he chuckled.

Eddie wrapped his legs around him, while Richie held him. He brought his lips closer to his, and kissed him passionately.

"Wow." Eddie chuckled, "this is why you didn't wanna be in one tent am I right?"

He laughed, "shut up." He rubbed his hands through his damp hair, kissing him deeper. He slid tongue into his mouth sending shivers down Eddie's spine.

"So much for moving slow." He chuckled.

"Shut up and kiss me."

Eddie smiled, and pecked him on the lips. "Not just yet."

Richie smirked and rolled his eyes.

"When do you wanna tell them about us?" Eddie asked.

"I don't know.. they don't even know I'm.."

"Gay.. yeah.. you can tell them when you're ready."

"I want to so bad, it just still scares me."

He nodded, "well I think if they accept me, they'll accept you."

He chuckled and ducked his head underwater, Richie doing the same. Eddie accidentally opened his eyes and saw a blurry outline of someone. But Richie was behind him so who was it. The person reached their hand out and he dashed to the surface.

"Woah woah Ed's what happened?!" He panicked.

"N-nothing! I- I saw a turtle and it freaked me out." He laughed.

"Okay, Cmon lets go back now. They might get suspicious."

"You think?"

"Cannonball!!!" Beverly jumped in the lake. Followed by everyone else.

"You guys scared the shit out of us!!" Richie laughed, "thought you didn't wanna come in."

"Well you two aren't having fun without us." She smiled and splashed him.

"Oh it's on!!" He practically attacked her with waves of water.

"Stan get on my shoulders!!" Eddie shouted.

"I don't wanna kill y-

"Shut up and get on."

They all played in the water for a bit, then settled at the campfire.

"Who wants to get more wood?" Bev wiggled her eyebrows at Richie and Eddie.

"Why don't we all go, and someone stay." Eddie said.

"You're boring." She mouthed words to him.

"You guys can go I'll just stay by the fire."

Richie smiled and covered him with a blanket, "don't move okay?"
