You made it to the top of the class somehow. ( eddie says with a smile that lights up his features. he continues nosing at richie's neck as he shifts closer still as hands find their way to his hips. god, he just loves the feel of richie's hands on him. ) Hearing them call your name, you standing up there with all the other big brains. I was so proud of you, and I couldn't help but think was: he's mine, mine, mine.

( and now they might make that permanent. something lasting. proof there was at least one good thing that came out of this shitty town. )

Marrying you would probably be the smartest thing I could do.
