"Yeah, tell me about it," Eddie agrees. That's no small thing, in Eddie's mind, being able to get a room, like that.
It's so natural for Richie to give those reassuring and soothing touches that Eddie doesn't even really notice at first that he's doing it. He notices when Richie stops though, likely partially due to the surprise that registers on his face on the heels of Eddie's proposition.
The term of endearment isn't exactly new, but Eddie still likes the way it sounds when Richie looks all taken aback like that. "I know I don't have to, Rich," he laughs, rolling his eyes a little. Then, he shrugs. "But making you feel good makes me feel good, too, you know. And...I don't know. Maybe I'll like it. But if I don't, you know, I'm not just gonna, like, leave you hanging and shit." How different can a handy really be from just jacking himself off, anyway? They might not have done that, either, underneath their clothes so much as just rubbing at each other over their clothes, but there's a first time for everything, right? And Eddie figures if he's going to have a first time trying something like that, he wants it to be with Richie.
