Summary
“Not that I’m not enjoying our banter, buddy, but word on the street is you got a problem you could use some help with,” Richie says. “What’s bugging you at two in the morning on New Year’s Eve?”
“New Year’s Day,” Eddie corrects again.
“New Year’s Day, then,” Richie allows.
There’s another beat of silence before he hears Eddie sigh audibly over the phone line. "I’m thinking about leaving my wife.”
“Why’s that?” Richie asks. He’s already hooked. He genuinely cares about all of his callers and wants to help, but something about Eddie’s got its nails in him. Honestly, he doesn’t mind all that much. It’s a nice change of pace, to feel something.
“We don’t get along all that well,” Eddie tells him. “I… I don’t know. We don’t really have anything in common. She’s sort of controlling, I guess. And I think I might be gay, so—”

Summary
“Fuckin’ clowns, man. Always hated ‘em. Eddie did too.”
Richie paused as the laughter died down, running a hand through his hair.
“That’s my friend. Eddie. The short kid with a shorter fuse who I loved riling up more than anything,” he smiled gently, “Well, almost anything.”
His hand tightened on the microphone, his palm slick with sweat.
“I loved him most.”

Summary
“Well hi,” Richie greets cheerfully, a smile evident in his voice when it becomes abundantly clear to him that Eddie has forgone nightclothes.
There’s a faint click of a locking phone, then Eddie hears the sound of it harmlessly hitting the mattress. He has to press his smile to the back of his neck, flattered by Richie’s readiness to turn his undivided attention to Eddie.
That fact bridges the nearly thirty years they spent apart.

Summary
Beside him, someone stirs.
Eddie turns towards it, thinking of sleepovers with the Losers, of Richie knocking on his window at 10pm and crawling into Eddie’s bed when he lets him in.
His eyes adjust. It still takes a second.
“Morning, babe,” says a man, a full-grown adult man, in his fucking bed.
(Or, 14 year old Eddie gets a glimpse into what's coming.)
