Some people find moonlit walks on the beach romantic, you know. ❪ he says, voice muffled by the way he lays but eventually sits up just enough to frown. ❫ I just see someone stepping on a jellyfish or getting hit by a falling coconut.

❪ besides a walk might be good to help stretch his legs after the plane ride over. it was just actually getting up that was the problem because between the sheets, the soothing smell blended into the fabric and richie's warmth— it was hard to want to move. ❫

Well, a portion of the beach is totally ours. Privately rented. I don't think a coconut's really high up on the risks there, analyst but if you want to take a walk we can. The beach isn't going anywhere though.

[Richie reaches out over the bed and pulls Eddie close, flush up against him, similar to how they slept except halfway through the night Eddie always wound up the big spoon. The love is clear on his face, and the bruising is a faded yellow outline. They had waited just long enough that the signs of the fight weren't about to ruin their vacation photos.]

There's about 150 deaths every year from falling coconuts, Rich.

❪ said completely seriously and in a tone not unlike when he said been younger. eddie's thoroughly distracted though as rich pulls him in close and flush against him. honestly, he could fall asleep right now but ends up smiling up at that loving face instead. carefully, he shifts forward and nudges the other's glasses up slightly with his nose in order to kiss at that faded bruising. ❫

I know we just got here but I'm glad we decided on this. We really fucking needed it.

Then 150 people need to learn to walk away from the trees. That's common sense.

[If that was really the number. Honestly, coconuts, if that's how he goes send Derry a goddamn gift basket. After everything that he's been through if a coconut is what claims him, life really is a joke that no one's laughing at.

Of course Richie wants to return the kiss, but instead, he gives Eddie a soft look as his glasses become ineffectual. He's still holding his hands, balancing the weight of them against his fingers.]

We really did. If you don't want to walk on the beach tonight we could always take a quick nap and then get up and use the hot tub.

[Tired bones, it's a pretty good bargain and the hot tub overlooked the entire ocean. Once the night set in everything would cool down and calm down.]

❪ eddie just chuckles low and soft, shaking his head. if he could read minds then he'd likely agree with that line of thinking but for now he's simply content with pressing barely there kisses to the faded, yellow bruising. thankfully, his own bruises have faded away or mostly faded in with the circles under his eyes. ❫

A nap and the hot tub sounds even better. Like you said that beach isn't going anywhere. ❪ and between the sound of the waves outside the warm sea breeze filling in through an open window, it's all doing a good job of relaxing him just enough to be lulled to sleep. ❫ And besides, I am ridiculously comfortable right now.

[As much as Richie might want to rush into returning Eddie's affections, every once in a while it was nice to let Richie dote on him and take command of the situation. Falling into his gentle reassurances had always been easy for him, even when Eddie was still recuperating and it really should've been the other way around.]

Nap first, jacuzzi later. They chloroformed the bed, it's time to give into sweet release.

[Which is all too simple to do. There's no chloroform to speak of, just high-quality aromatherapy and Richie pushes even closer to Eddie against the covers and falls asleep in record time while listening to the waves lap at the shore.

When he does wake up, his eyes find the alarm clock on Eddie's side of the bed. It's only two hours later, a perfect amount of time for a catnap and since Eddie's still asleep, he indulges, placing gentle kisses from his neck down to his hip. He pays special attention to any place beyond the hips, hoping that Eddie will wake up before he pulls the waistband of his pants down. It wouldn't be the first time one of them had woken up to things further down the road, but Richie liked to be clear on Eddie's participation in things before going full tilt into them.]

❪ it really is all too simple because eddie, only able to nod in his haze of sleepiness, gives into the smell of the sheets and richie's body heat. it's honestly probably some of the best sleep that he's had in a while without even a nightmare lurking in the corners of his mind.

only when richie starts to move does he start to stir somewhat. it's easy enough to be lulled back into sleep but the pressure of rich's lips on his neck and dipping all the way down to his hip are a much better distraction. it's still hard to fully get himself going until he feels fingers at his waistband, pulling and causing him to raise his hip slightly as he blinks awake.

and, yeah, it's definitely not the first time because god does he love waking up like this. one hand moves to curl through hair while his other helps prop him up slightly, smiling sleepily. ❫

You're really going for gold by spoiling me, you know.

[Price was no option for Richie, but talent and success in making Eddie fall apart beneath him was everything. They'd been together before, in every way, but this is the first time they've been able to really relax.

Richie's lips move with the elastic band of Eddie's pants, kissing each piece of skin as it exposes itself. It's not long before his pants are pooled around his ankles, and Richie's lips find his shaft, a poignantly placed kiss before he grabs a handful of him.]

Maybe you can make it up to me later.

❪ it's not like rich had to work hard to get him falling apart under him. honestly, eddie could turn to putty in an instance in richie's hands and at his touch. he loves it though and, in truth, it would probably be easier than ever considering how relaxed he is in the comfort of this place.

because, hey, it was true. this was probably the first time either of them were truly relaxed and didn't have some secondary worry lingering in the back of their brains. wounds, appointments, moving, work... it was one after the other.

he sucks in a breath through his teeth at the kiss and falls back on the bed as his hips raise with the touch. ❫

You can count on it. ❪ he says, chuckling and in a happy tone. ❫

[In retrospect they probably shouldn't have tried to attempt to move into life together so seamlessly. After everything, they both deserved this kind of sabbatical. Time to enjoy each other's company with nothing looming over their heads.

That's exactly what he intended to do, Richie's learned the subtleties of Eddie's body and gives his dick a few solid pumps before wrapping his lips over the very top of it.]

❪ maybe they did move a little too fast into everything but, honestly, could anyone blame them after everything that happened? maybe, in a way, it was being selfish but fuck christ— he was allowed to be a little selfish. he was allowed to enjoy himself with the man he loved.

that's why he just stops thinking and lets himself get lost in what rich is doing instead. he can't help the way his hips move with each pump of his hand and certainly unable (not that he'd want to hide it now) to help the way his breath comes out near drenched in both relief and pleasure. ❫

[The fact that they've rushed into has only made Richie's need to please him even hastier. Sucking his dick was the first real thing he did for himself, treating him to a good time even when he couldn't yet get the same treatment for himself.

In an unprecedented twist, Richie's discovered he kind of likes having Eddie's dick in his mouth and typically takes every opportunity to throw that into their foreplay. Now is no different, except instead of really going to town he takes his time. Kissing, licking, fondling and searching before fully swallowing him down.

Each move of his hips gets a gentle hum from Richie too, sometimes at the expense of what he's doing. More than once Eddie has him gagging for it, and a pleasant bit of heat pulls at his lower abdomen. He'll never get used to those sounds Eddie makes.]

❪ it's a good thing then too because eddie is a mess of pleasurable noises. his head is tilted back just slightly while he continues to card his fingers through richie's mess of dark hair and, honestly, just tries to remember how to breathe. it was almost insane how easily rich could get him like this, falling apart like this, without an ounce of trouble.

not that it doesn't help that richie is fucking good at what he does. if there was ever one thing eddie never had to worry about, it was that he always knew that rich would take care of him in whatever way he needed. even something he wasn't completely sure he needed and what he needs now is his warm mouth because fuck— ❫

Richie...

❪ his voice is a near whine, dripping with pleasure and trying not to be too forceful but it's near maddening how good he feels. ❫

[The thrill of Eddie coming undone made Richie try that much harder to draw it out. When he'd normally still Eddie's hips, he didn't this time, he laid back sideways and let Eddie fuck right up into his mouth with his fingers stuck in his mess of brown curls.

Every now and then, when a pull hits his own groin Richie groans around Eddie's length as it buries itself back into his mouth. That same moan gets lost in translation, vibrating around Eddie's shaft as it meets the back of his throat and Richie's a hot and bothered participant meeting each beat of his hips with renewed interest.

God. He's so fucking grateful. No one else on earth would be allowed to treat him this way and get away with it, but Richie was melting under him, losing control of himself too in the process, hips hitting the sheets like some cock-thirsty co-ed.]

❪ he could honestly just lose himself right now. especially when rich just lays back like that and lets eddie move his hips freely, fuck up into his mouth with the best goddamn sounds vibrating around him with each roll of his hips. there's just something so thrilling, his heart racing, in just watching richie like this and eddie can't help the way the flush of arousal that's already stained his face spreads down his neck and shoulders.

although he can already feel that familiar pooling of warmth in his stomach, he pulls back from that edge a hard intake of air and a groan. it's fucking hard when he wants this so badly but he wants this to last too. ❫

Don't want to— ❪ fuck, it was even hard to think when rich has him feeling this good. he has to blink hard a few times, get the stars out of his eyes and try again. ❫ I wanna feel you inside me so fucking bad, Rich.

[Somewhere in the maelstrom of wild hips and gagging on Eddie's sheer size he's coherent enough to hear what Eddie just said. It hadn't been in his plans, to just fuck him on the bed, he'd wanted to draw it out but he's never been able to say no to Eddie. It's hardly a problem if Eddie wants to spill over twice, so he pulls back and wipes his mouth.

It's late, the only sounds around them are the ocean's ebb and flow and whatever sounds they've been making themselves. Richie finds Eddie's form easily, and occupies the space behind him in the bed comfortably, his own arousal pushing into the soft skin of Eddie's back.

Richie always knew he'd loved him, knew it from the minute he'd walked into The Jade. If he hadn't been so nervous, to begin with, he might've attributed some of the nausea and the worry to going back to Maine on that- on the unrequited love he'd left behind but it wasn't unrequited. Eddie was right here, he was kissing his shoulders and neck, meeting his lips with sweet delicate touches. It's like they'd never been apart, and they had to go through hell to get here but he wouldn't trade it for anything. Bringing the ring had been the right choice, and he's overwhelmed with how much he's feeling right now. The sprinkle of kissing, it's helping him catch his breath, and the delay - it's only so that whatever they do next can be more thorough. It gives Eddie time to reign himself back in.]

❪ and he really does have to take that delay to reign himself back in. everything still feels hypersensitive from delaying his own finish that he has to close his eyes briefly, shake his head and try to clear his thoughts so eddie might better focus on richie as he moves to occupy the space behind him.

he tries to time his breathing with the sound of the waves outside and relaxes in the cool night breeze as he leans back into rich, tilting his head just enough that they might kiss properly in this position. god— he'd never get enough of this and perhaps that was for the best.

after all, love had always been a little harder for eddie to completely understand. harder to grasp since the "love" he had experienced before rich had been so grossly one-sided. sometimes he still worries that he lacks certain qualities that make him worthy of being loved so deeply by someone. sometimes he worries that he isn't giving near enough back or that he might come off distant as he tries to navigate how to express how he feels. eddie is sure that rich gets it though, understands him and his sometimes awkward ways. understands that eddie loves him, much more than he's ever loved someone before and would probably ever love someone. although he might not have known as quickly as rich, he did know it was true and that there really wasn't anyone else he'd rather spend his ridiculous life with. ❫

[Growing up Richie was more than aware of how Eddie was treated not only his own mother but by the other people around. That's part of why he'd gravitated so closely to him as a kid, protectively out of instinct because his own home-life while not similar in every way was just as broken and his relationship with the other kids in their town was twice as bad.

As a lover, Richie's just as dedicated. It's hard to calm down, especially when he wants to push Eddie into the mattress and make him scream. He focuses instead on meeting those lips with slow, deep kissing that leaves him more than breathless when he pulls back.]

You still want me inside of you?

❪ richie's dedication has always been a constant even when they had been apart and forgotten one another there had still been something that lingered. something that eddie knew he had been missing without ever realizing just what it truly was. he wants so badly to make up for everything they missed out on and all the time they lost which makes it just as hard for him to calm down.

it's why he doesn't hold back the needy noise that escapes him at the question and he shifts, pressing back further against the body behind him. eddie's own voice near breathless as he speaks: ❫

Fuck— yes, I do. Please, Rich.

[There's a lot of ways he can do this, but despite his inventiveness, Richie realizes he doesn't really care to change their positioning. It gives him an advantage, and he wraps one hand around Eddie's dick and uses the other hand to prepare him for what was about to happen.

Richie's generosity extended right into the bedroom, and he rarely cared about who was on top or bottom but one thing he absolutely made sure of was Eddie falling apart in his arms. This was simple, his hands been dipped into the warming jelly and as he jerks Eddie off, he smiles into his shoulder as he pushes his middle finger just past his entrance.

Eddie, he decided really needed a good fucking. Even if it meant staining the sheets twice, he'd hardly care if his best friend had multiple orgasms on their first night in paradise.]

❪ he has such a love-hate relationship with how easy it was for rich to get him falling apart. eddie thinks it's because he's touch starved, needy for affection but honestly it's probably because no one has ever touched him like how rich does. all full of that generosity, affection and utter love that was so foreign at one point for him.

it's easy enough to fall into a rhythm against him. hips rocking forward against the hand jerking him off and then back against the probing finger which get all sorts of pleasurable noises pulled out of him with careful ease.

although he keeps thinking it's impossible to be that much more in love with someone, richie continued to keep proving him wrong at every turn. ❫

[Finger number two follows suit after a while of spreading that lubricant in so he can really open him up. It's hot, heavy in a way he hasn't gotten to really give into in such a long time.

Richie responds to each erotic groan and grasp in kind, and eventually starts kissing his shoulders in the midst of it, biting at the lobe of his ear so he can touch and taste while he works him over.]

❪ it really is an assault of feelings as rich works him over. eddie ultimately has to lean forward, bracing himself with one hand on the sheets and the other falls back to rest on richie's thigh. ❫

Rich, fuck— ❪ he murmurs, voice drenched in pleasure. ❫ You'll drive me crazy, you know.

Just one more, okay?

[One more finger, the addition of his right index would at the very least leave him stretched open enough to handle his size. Fingers aren't really any kind of replacement for a dick, and Richie wasn't small. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt Eddie.]

Yeah, okay.

❪ he repeats, breath heavy as he rocks back against the additional finger stretching him with a groan. and, yeah, eddie gets it but he's also always been impatient. still, he holds back from actually saying any smart comment and lets rich work him over even if it was maddening. ❫
