Summary
“Listen,” Eddie says, voice low. He steps closer, until his bare toes align with the edge of a tile. Richie swallows. Blinks. Looks back up. “I don’t mind.”
For a moment, Richie can’t possibly fathom what he means. Doesn’t mind what? Doesn’t mind that there’s a picture of him kissing the weird man who he killed a clown with at the top of everybody’s trending page? Doesn’t mind the word boyfriend tossed at him like it’s something that could possibly fit?
“What,” Richie rasps, throat dry, words toneless.
It would be funny, the way Eddie’s looking at him, if Richie weren’t so damn terrified. “Like, I’ll do it,” Eddie says. There is acute discomfort radiating off of all his sharp points. “Be your boyfriend or whatever.”
*
Or: Eddie kisses Richie. The world thinks they're dating, but they're not. Eddie thinks Richie isn't in love with him, but he is. Also, a movie premiere.

Summary
Eddie knows he should refuse. He should walk away from this guy with wild hair and thick glasses that don’t obscure the way his eye squints when he grins. He should get a cab back to his hotel, text his fiancée back, take an aspirin, and go to sleep. Tomorrow, he’s flying back to New York. This was a mistake, a single deranged misfire of his usually iron self-control, and the last thing he should do is indulge it any further. He knows that.
*
Or: a week before he's supposed to get married, Eddie hooks up with a stranger in a bar, and it changes the trajectory of his life.

Summary
“I’ve got an idea.” Richie pipes up from his position next to Eddie on the hammock.
Their legs are pressed together, even though Eddie’s thigh barely seems to reach Richie’s knee, and the warmth should be too much, considering how fucking hot it is, but it feels just right instead.
(He valiantly tries not to dwell on that thought).
“Beep beep, Richie.” Stan barely raises his head from where he’s been flicking through the pages of some bird watching book, open on his lap, though even he seems tired with it by now.
------
Eddie does a lot of pining in a short amount of time.
