[Richie grins; he never really can get enough affection and attention in general, and either of those things from Eddie are the most important. He can't quite say why, except for that of course the best sorts of hugs and kisses come from his best friend. Isn't that the same for everyone?
Once Eddie is settled beside him, he pets him on the back.]
Why's that? 'Cause no one's as awesome as you?
[For a smart boy he really doesn't get it sometimes.]
(Eddie tips his head to the side to stare at Richie, and slowly, a smile evolves on his face. Richie was so dumb. Though Eddie wasn't all that aware himself, he was still at least a little more aware enough to reach out and grab a handful of Richie's hair to gently tug his head back and forth playfully.)
Exactly.
(He lets go of Richie's hair a second later, smoothing his hand through it a second later to neaten out what he fucked up.)
