    Summary

    When the beer is all gone – and Stan’s cocktail too via some unasked for assistance – Richie's spirits rise to their prior heights. "I'm gonna text Eddie to see if he's awake," he crows, "it's gonna be so funny."

    "How is that funny," Stan asks, but he's always had a weird sense of humor, he wouldn't get it.

    "It's funny ‘cause he'll think I'm hitting him up for a booty call. He's gonna be so pissed." The thought makes Richie giddy. He's been pushing it with the gay chicken lately, ratcheting up the fake flirting to match his recently out persona, and it's been getting on Eddie’s nerves – scratch that, it’s been getting on everyone’s nerves.

    Summary

    They take up the entire couch; with his knees bent Richie's sneaker clad feet are scuffing the arm rest, but Eddie seems to kind of fit. Kind of. It's almost like they've done this before, what with the way Richie's imagined it a hundred times; Eddie pushing him back and down into some kind of soft surrender. But they haven't. They definitely haven't.

    Richie and Eddie hook up. In a non-gay way.

    Summary

    Tonight, Eddie’s ready to relax, barefoot and hair curled over his forehead, crossing his legs on the floor and reaching for the first box the delivery guy delivered fifteen minutes ago on the dot, so it wasn’t too hot and wasn’t too cool.

    Tonight Richie’s hands are clenched hard and white and unforgiving around his fork where he’s picking at the food he’s ordered every single Thursday for three years and pretending not to stare.

    Tonight there are egg rolls cooling on the big, clunky wooden coffee table and some QVC show on wedding dresses Richie flipped to after Cool Runnings ended playing on the television when Eddie flinches his left arm and says:

    “Myra wants one of those things.”

    Summary

    Ten minutes before his wedding, Eddie locked himself in the bathroom of the Beverly Hills Courthouse, swallowed three Advils in one bite, and tried to get out of the window.

    or, Eddie's admittedly complicated feelings about marriage meet Eddie's admittedly complicated feelings about Richie. Here's what happens next.
