( it is always easy to fall into the old simplicity of things. yes, it was never going to be as it had been back when they were kids but did that matter? wasn't it worth learning from what had been and creating something new? he tries to remember that as they work on remembering what had been forgotten in their years apart with eddie and richie both having to learn the new things that had changed in them both.
like richie, eddie had nightmares that would leave him breathless and in a panic at times. yet without words needed, richie would be there to settle him down. he would sit up and wait for him when work ran late. he would text him throughout the day with stupid little reminders and images that would leave eddie unable to help but smile. he'd make dinner, messing up the kitchen and laugh as they'd wash dishes.
and, yeah, he smiled. he couldn't help but smile.
that smile lights up his features when he hears richie's voice and drops his things to head to richie's office. he pauses briefly outside the doorway but finally pushes in with another smile gracing his features. for a quiet moment, he lingers and watches rich before moving forward toward where he lounges. although eddie has another pause in his movements, it doesn't linger long before he leans down to press a warm kiss to the corner of richie's mouth. he keeps close, letting their foreheads press together before he finally speaks: )
