    Summary

    As Richie flinches at every touch, Eddie is determined, scowling as he tries to repair the mess, fix the one type of problem that he can solve.

    Richie doesn’t tell him why it happened, because Eddie knows. So, he watches him work in silence. He doesn’t cry, he doesn’t rant, he doesn’t get angry at the world for hating him through no fault of his own. Richie focuses on Eddie, and his heart fills instead with gratitude and something else that is immense and buoyant and powerful. But, just like the rest of his feelings, he shoves that away too. Files it deep within his psyche so that he can maybe evaluate it later, determine its relevance on his own time.

    ruminations, from Richie's pov.
