( Once again there is a beat of worry that runs through Eddie in the silence that follows. He worries (as always, he fucking worries) that perhaps he had said the wrong thing and that perhaps this just wasn't meant to be or it was too much, too fast but hadn't they waited long enough? The clown had taken almost everything from them and he had almost died in that fucking cave, no― he had died, more than once but now he had this fucking second chance.
A second chance that he couldn't waste― not again.
Thankfully Richie leaning down is more than enough to bring him back into the present. His breath catches in his throat but once Rich kisses him? It's like everything finally made sense for the first time in his fucking life. For a moment, he can only sit there stunned but as Richie deepens the kiss its like being hit by a bolt of lightning and he moves to return it with just as much neediness.
It's a struggle but he pushes him up and out of the with his hand still holding Richie's own but bringing the other to wrap around his neck without breaking the kiss as he raises to his feet to pull them close together. )
