Imagine Richie telling the story of how Eddie first told him he loved him. He’s doing a Netflix special and going a bit off script because he knows this is the one they’re recording and he wants Eddie to hear this story from his perspective when they watch it together in a few weeks. Their wedding is only a few weeks away, and he wants the family to have some context for his vows.
Richie had said it accidentally on the first date because he already knew he loved him
His freckles made him have mini heart attacks!
So Richie had said it first, watched with a smile as Eddie gaped at him, fork stuck halfway to his mouth.
Richie never really expected to hear it back; at least not for awhile. Because Eddie likes to be sure about things like that, and Richie knows that. And he respects it. So he doesn’t expect to hear it.
But that doesn’t mean Eddie hasn’t been an absolute idiot about it. Saying stuff like “Do you really...?”, which, of course, has Richie finishing it with, “Fuck your mom on the regular? I thought you would never ask!”
Which is really just them sitting on the couch watching SNL every Saturday, because those are Richie’s friends damn it and he’s going to support them even when they’re doing shit at their job. And Eddies laying next to him, head on his shoulder all perfect and couple-y.
Richie’s chuckling at a skit when Eddie taps his arm. He looks over immediately — because have you seen his almost-husband? He’s fucking stunning, there’s no way Richie would miss a chance to look at him — and Eddie smiles, all soft and gooey. He says, “I need to tell you something.”
And Richie’s freaking out — because here, on their couch, watching SNL? — but he nods. Can’t tear his eyes away from his almost-husband, even though he can hear Kate breaking and he would really love to see that. (But he wants to hear his almost-husband a million times more).
Eddie leans in real close, glancing from his eyes to his lips like they’re in fucking high school, and smiles a mischievous smile that both fills Richie’s stomach with dread and butterflies.
And whispers, “I fucked your mom.”
Richie half laughs, half sobs, and kisses the shit out of him
(Eddie hits him, laughing and says “you weren’t supposed to find that cute, moron!”
“But you’re so cute, Eds! Cutest man in the world!”
Eddie laughs, breathless, before asking in a whispy, joking voice, “Can ‘I fucked your mom’ be our always?”)
