❪ it's certainly more complicated than eddie cares for because, at the end of the day, he trusts richie. trusts him with his life and tonight hasn't changed that but he can't deny that he wasn't scared because it was a side of him that he hadn't ever seen before come out like that.
still, it also hurts when rich pushes his hands away and he sort of just awkwardly stands there looking at the empty space where richie had been just now. he breathes in deeply through his nose, blinking once and then following to where the other has moved to toe off his shoes. ❫
You're not broken.
❪ if he has to make one thing clear then let it be that much. he has to bring wrist up, wiping blood on the back of his sleeve as he approaches although he lingers to give him space there is an awkwardness to his stance. it's clear he wants to reach out, draw him close but he also knows the need for time alone. ❫
I got hurt, you reacted. Shit happens and we'll figure this out, okay?
