    Summary

    “The thing you said - the fantasy.”

    Eddie goes very still and stops typing. He trains his eyes on his laptop screen.

    “About me assaulting you,” Richie says, because if he can’t say it out loud then he definitely shouldn’t be contemplating it.

    Eddie slams his laptop shut and pinches the bridge of his nose. “Rich,” he says, “I promise we don’t have to talk about it. I don’t want to make things weird.”

    Richie watches Eddie for a moment. It’s a delicate line, he knows - if he spooks Eddie, it is liable to make things wildly fucking awkward for an extended period of time. But if he backs out now, lets it keep gnawing at the both of them until they’re raw and tense and ready to burst - well, Richie knows how those things turn out.

    “We should talk about it,” Richie says. “You brought it up,” he says, when Eddie frowns at him. “And now I’m bringing it up. Communication.”
