so for most of their childhood, Richie liked to use his height as an advantage and tease Eddie a lot, right? and Eddie being Eddie would take no shit and put Richie in his place when he needed it. only when they started dating did Eddie slowly lose his resentment for Richie’s admirable height and instead adore it with his whole heart:
wherein Eddie used to hate Richie leaning over him or crowding his space, he now comes to love it whenever Richie hugs him or hovers over him when they’re in bed
because he only feels safe and warm whenever Richie is next to him
he’s especially surprised when he grows to love having Richie just wrap his arms around his shoulders from behind and rest his chin on top of Eddie’s head
and Eddie will lean back into him before angling his head up for kisses (which Richie happily supplies)
whenever they’re just at home relaxing, with Richie lying on the couch, feet hanging off the ends cause he’s so long, Eddie loves nothing more than climbing into Richie’s lap and staying there, because his bf is so damn tall and there’s so much of him to cuddle on
and he may be gangly and boney in places, but he’s warm and smells like home and Eddie can fall asleep on him in an instant
Eddie loves to call out to Richie to get stuff for him on high shelves/places, bc of course Richie is whipped and will do anything for his tiny bf
sometimes when they’re feeling adventurous and go out to concerts/gigs, Eddie will sit on Richie’s shoulders, hands in his unruly locks, laughing as Richie attempts to keep his balance (hint: they totally fall over multiple times)
other times, when someone is being rude af to Eddie and Eddie starts going off, Richie doesn’t really step in to help, bc he knows Eddie’s got this, but he still stands behind him like a steel wall, displaying his height to just dare this jerk to lay one finger on his tiny raging bf
don’t even get me started on the thousands of times Eddie adores getting piggybacks from Richie, claiming his feet are sore (they are not) and queue Richie dropping everything to bend down and scoop him up
also Eddie standing on his tippy toes to get his kiss from Richie is something that will always kill me to death
basically, just the tall and smol boyfriends who love each other exactly the way they are
