[Richie languishes comfortably in Eddie's arms, moving to be that much closer to him. The nightmares might have been recurring but Richie knew what it was like, and had more than once since they began this woke up to Eddie hugging him from behind with reassuring hands smoothing out his hair. Even in the less fitful dreams, Richie had always mumbled and talked in his sleep and Eddie had taken care of him then just like now. The difference was now they had nothing to be discreet about, nothing to be ashamed of.
Richie returns the kiss, sweetly at first, but then with a little more heat. It's impossible not to think about how much he'll miss him when he's away. Their honeymoon phase hadn't really slowed down. If anything it picked up when Eddie was clear and through the worst of recovery. Now it all seemed like some horrible memory, piercing through and ruining perfectly good nights of sleep.
After a few minutes of playful, but passionately chasing Eddie's lips he pulls away. A soft look on his features.]
It's not that unbelievable. We can watch the sunrise and I can pretend to like helping you in the garden.
