( It's said with a touch of annoyance but it's more at himself than toward Richie. Rich already helped him with so much that he couldn't stand the thought of him having to do anymore and honestly? He imagines a lot of it has to do with his self esteem and his current feelings of feeling so very small throughout his recovery. Still he glances to Rich as he appears at his door, opening it and breathing out a slow breath of air as he manages a smile.
More than anything he just hopes that he isn't holding Rich back from something more out there. Eddie already knows what Rich would say if he admitted this so he doesn't and instead just reaches out for support as he pulls himself up from the seat. There's a grimace as he stands, grip tightening slightly on Richie's bicep as the pain washes over him before it just settles into a dull throb and it eases off into something manageable. )
I'm not really hungry, honestly. I think I'm just going to get washed up and go to bed. ( He says smiling as he leans in to press a tired kiss to the corner of Richie's lip. ) You get yourself something though, okay? I'll be fine.
