Life in a Rosy Hue (A Reddie Fic)
He threw his left arm around Richie, faking a loud and fond laugh, wincing apologetically at his mother over the other’s back. God, he was tall! He couldn’t be thinking that right now though, not when they were still toeing the danger zone. “I didn’t think you’d be here this early!” He prayed Richie could understand the urgency in his voice and body language, make sense of it. “With everything that’s happened, I even forgot to tell my mom you were going to stop by!”
“Oh.” He heard Richie murmur in understanding after a tense handful of seconds before his arms came around Eddie nice and tight. “I just got a head start, is all. I was so excited to see you.”
For a single moment in time Eddie allowed himself to enjoy the touch, melting into it. When was the last time someone had hugged him? Had touched him without knowledge or consequence?

When Richie Tozier throws a rock into the window of Kaspbrak’s Florals on a drunk and flimsy dare, his entire life is changed. As is Eddie’s, who decides to make the strange and possibly dangerous boy work off his debts instead of going to court.
