    Summary

    Eddie, for obvious reasons, is a clementine. This is the one he’s thought most about—tiny, adorable, obviously. Kind of hard and annoying to open when you first give it a try, but easier each time you do it. Some people (some! people!) might think it’s gross and weird, but Richie likes the yellow-tinged fingers that come with the peeling. A fruit that leaves a mark. He also likes the stringy bits—again! Maybe a bit weird, maybe a bit gross, maybe a bit off-putting, and most definitely not everyone’s thing, but. A part of the whole that Richie has found himself terminally obsessed with. It’s fine, he just really likes clementines right now. He might even say that he loves them.

    (In which Richie has a month long breakdown over fruit; fruit is just a dumb, thinly veiled metaphor for Eddie; and everyone else thinks they’re already a thing.)

    Summary

    He opens his mouth to speak again, and this time Richie doesn’t beat him to it. He’s expecting himself to say something like ‘no, nothing, I’m good’ or ‘I just needed to talk to a friend’ or even something more alarmingly honest like ‘I woke up and I really just wanted to hear your voice’.

    Instead, he says: “I think I need to get out of New York.”

    He realises immediately that he means it; that it’s the truth. The revelation drops like a stone between them in the ensuing silence, laden with honesty. 

    - - -

    Or the one where Eddie returns to New York after Derry but doesn't stay, and Richie deals with the consequences of living with the person he secretly loves.

    Summary

    On a good day, he can barely handle the wrong person breathing in his vicinity without having an asthma attack.
    Or, what his mom calls an asthma attack.
    It’s happening now. The places on his skin that feel dirty prickle and hum and no amount of scrubbing with the murky water will make it stop.
