    Summary

    Richie doesn't have any mention of a boyfriend, past or present, on his Wikipedia article and he’s never talked about it to any of them, probably. Maybe Stan, because he’s the only one who can keep secrets. If he talked to Mike about it, everyone would know, and if he talked about it to Ben he wouldn’t tell anyone except Mike and Mike would tell everyone anyway. Maybe Bev. (Is it homophobic if Eddie thinks Richie might tell Bev about being gay? Eddie googles but the results are inconclusive.)

    None of them seem particularly well-versed in the subject, so he probably hasn’t talked to any of them. It occurs to him that maybe, if he was still in New York, he would assume that the people closer to Richie should handle it.

    Is this Eddie’s job? As the person living in his backyard, it probably is. Eddie’s heart starts to thump worryingly in his chest. It can’t be his job.

    But he’s been staying in Richie’s pool house. He’s been swimming in his pool. The most he contributes to Richie’s life is the occasional 48-pack of Fruit Roll-Ups. He hasn’t even chipped in for utilities.

    Oh shit. It’s totally his job.

    Summary

    A few days ago just an ounce of Richie's attention was almost too much to bear. Now, he feels engulfed in it — hot tickling flames that spread from his chest to his fingers when their wrists touch between the seats of the car. It hurts when Richie looks at him and it hurts when he looks away. Funny how much clearer things get when there aren't any distractions.

    Summary

    Richie figures that by the time he feels like telling Ben, it’s high time he tells the rest of his friends too. He doesn’t think they’ll have a problem with it, not necessarily, but life is full of ‘what ifs’, and the idea of being outcasted more than he already was by a group of people he loved the most pretty much scared him shitless.

    Which is why when Richie walks into calculus surprisingly early after lunch and nearly rams face first into one of the cutest boys he’s ever seen in his life, he’s pretty sure he’s fucked. Like, ultimately and eternally fucked.

    Summary

    Eddie and Richie don't seem to understand the concept of personal space.

    Maybe everything would've been less confusing if they just gave each other a little space.

    Instead, Richie and Eddie learn not to play games that they don't have a rule book for.

    Summary

    "It’s just… I don’t want you to look back on this and regret it. I don’t know if I’m ever gonna see you again, and—”

    “Don’t talk like that…”

    “It’s true! I had the best summer of my life, and now you have to go away. It isn’t fair.”

    “You really think this is the end?”

    “…I’d like to think it’s just the beginning.”
    --
    Or: It's the summer of '58 when Richie and Eddie meet on the beach and fall in love. It's the fall of '58 when Richie and Eddie meet at Rydell High and realize how little they knew each other.
