In the book it’s implied that Eddie and Richie have something, but it’s never explici— it’s never consummated, actually. It’s implied that the love that they have is more than friendship. Exploring the struggles of our characters, we came up with the idea that Richie was actually gay and he was, like, struggling with sexual identity in terms of being exposed and humiliated because of the trauma that he has with that issue. So it felt like a great emotional payoff to have Richie, once we understand what his struggle is, discover that he always had a thing for Eddie that was never explored or even expressed. I thought it was a great emotional payoff for the character of Richie. It doesn’t actually flourish until the moment where Eddie dies, and we see in Richie’s reaction what Eddie meant to him. We see him caress his face. In the book it’s pretty open-ended, and it goes maybe both ways. In the book Eddie is about to say something - a lot of people think that he’s about to say ‘I love you’, but he dies before he even can say ‘I’. I thought it was a super bittersweet moment and conclusion of Eddie’s life under the light of Richie’s love for him.

Andy Muschietti, IT Chapter 2 Commentary

[mattrnurdock]

“I think with Eddie, it’s frozen like that. It’s like when you’ve known someone forever. […] Or like when you get together with your siblings. You revert back, because your relationship’s been established at a certain age. There’s little moments where I tried to play that. [When The Losers Club has its first adult reunion] Richie might be in a place where he’s like, ‘I don’t really care about him anymore.’ And then he immediately gets smashed. He sees Eddie’s there. He’s like, ‘Oh, yeah, feeling’s still there — I’m going to get drunk.’” —Bill Hader.

We gotta get him out of here, right now! I can’t leave him here like this man. What the fuck is wrong with you? You wanted me to leave him down here, are you nuts?
