suffer with me. imagine richie writing songs for eddie and singing to him? i'll go home.
skjngkdjg I CAN SO SEE THIS
And at first Eddie always acts like he’s unimpressed and tells Richie that it’s “so cheesy” while in reality he secretly loves it. He’s filled with warmth every time he hears Richie’s singing voice and it’s surprisingly calming to him.
He gets away with concealing just how much he actually adores it until one night when he’s half asleep over at Richie’s place. They’re both lying in bed and Eddie’s mind is floating in that state between sleep and wakefulness when he realizes that the only thing missing to make this moment perfect is Richie singing him a song. He’s so sleep-drunk that he doesn’t even really think twice about it before burying his face into Richie’s shoulder and mumbling “sing to me.”
When Richie hears him say that part of him wants to freak out in excitement because he’d been sure that Eddie didn’t like his voice at all and so to hear this sends his heart flying. But he doesn’t freak out, he keeps his cool and grabs his guitar from the floor by the side of his bed and sings Eddie a soft slow song in the smoothest tune he can achieve.
By the end of it Eddie’s asleep with the most relaxed of smiles still visible on his face and Richie’s grinning from ear to ear, filled to the brim with joy and contentedness over this newest discovery :’))
