    Summary

    Most stories end with an "and they lived happily ever after", as if being in love with someone was the simplest thing to experience. Richie and Eddie definitely know better.

    Lack of experience, internalized and externalized homophobia, sensory issues, dealing with trauma, working on communication... so many obstacles to overcome. Still, after everything they've been through, it should be the easy part, right? Right?

    But love is more than just romantic love. Love is the bond between friends, no matter how far they are. Love is what clueless parents deeply feel for their son. Love is a whole new adventure.

    And they're both ready for it.
