[Fuck New England, fuck the upper north-eastern coast of America and all the states surrounding it. Except maybe New York and New Jersey because he had regular shows there and a huge following. It'd be damning on his career to give that up, and he knew deep down Eddie loved going to New York to get his shop on while Richie was busy telling his jokes.
It had been an uphill climb, and a lot of fighting to be able to face him now on some isolated beach in an actual paradise. The kiss grounds him just enough to dig into his pocket and hit the sand with his knees. Richie knows himself, knows that if he doesn't immediately cave in to the action he'll run from it again like the coward he is. The determination that grounds him onto one knee floods his vision with searing white pain, he'd been so eager to do it he'd grounded himself on a large piece of a conch shell. It would probably bruise, and he'd definitely be in the tub tonight but there was no going back.]
