"Pfft. Well, yeah, maybe. I wouldn't call any part of you trash though," he says with another grin and a careful glance back to Eddie. There's something just about watching him getting put back together that's fun to watch. Though admittedly it's a lot more fun knowing that he was the cause of Eddie being in such a state in the first place. It shoots that little bit of pride back into his chest and he continues watching with a warm expression.

This is especially true when Richie catches sight of the red flush that burns across his cheeks in embarrassment. He doesn't mean to just call him out but he's also spent a lot of time with Eddie these past four years and a lot more time paying attention to him in his own way. To say he knew one or two of Eddie's little quirks would be an understatement.

Yet Richie gets why Eddie is worried. He was worried too before all the emotion and sensations and reactions from Eds got the better of him. It was easy to distract himself from the parts that worried him then and, yeah, he hopes it'll be the same for his boyfriend and he'll enjoy this just as much.

"No big deal," he repeats with a nod.

The awkward pause causes Rich to raise his brows again but he very quickly finds himself hiding a laugh. He really doesn't mean to and there's just something about Eddie's serious face while calling batter up that really tickles him. Nevertheless, he lets it pass and focuses instead on how Eddie reaches out for him to start undoing his jeans which gets Richie swallowing hard again.

Absently, he runs a hand through Eddie's hair and sighs. "I love you, you know."
