#just imaginging eds listening to them

[sunshinereddie]

i’ve been so busy with school these past few days and i haven’t wanted to come on tumblr because i know that it would just distract me but i have been thinking about this for DAYS and i am so excited to finally write it

so!!!!! expanding on this amazing hc that @gloomy-prince sent me, imagine it’s a few years later, and richie and eddie have just started dating. except richie is freaking out, because it’s almost eddie’s birthday and he doesn’t know what to get, and he’s talking to ben about it.

“it has to be perfect, you know?” richie says. “and everything i’ve though of so far, they’re good, but not perfect!”

ben thinks for a moment, thinking about the things that eddie likes. “why don’t you make him a mixtape?”

“a mixtape?”

“yeah, like, you could put together a a mix of his favourite songs, and songs that remind you of him, or something like that. i think he’d really like that.”

“hey, that’s not a half-bad idea!” richie says, his face lighting up. “i’ve already got a few songs in mind… plus, i could put on a bunch of those ABBA songs i know he loves.”

ben’s eyes widen at that. “you know that he likes ABBA?”

richie laughs. “ ‘course i do. he thinks i don’t, but i do. he’s got pretty shit-quality headphones, so i can hear the music through ‘em if he’s close enough. plus, i found the box of cd’s under his bed once when we were looking an extra bike helmet to loan georgie.”

ben smiles at that. he knows that eddie has always been so worried about what people would think if they knew he listened to bands like ABBA and bananarama, but to see richie act like this about it made ben believe that they were even more perfect for each other.

ben helps richie make the mixtape, telling richie all of eddie’s favourite songs, and having his heart feel very full after seeing some of the romantic songs that richie added because they remind him of eds.

and in the end, ben was right- eddie loved the mixtape. it was practically all he listened to after receiving it, and every time he did, he listened with a huge smile on his face, and feeling so very in love with richie.

#music as a love language <3 #also i have. not exaggerating. been thinking about eddie listening to abba all week. #like yesterday on the bus i was listening to abba and good thing i was wearing my mask #because i could not stop smiling #just imaginging eds listening to them #AAHH #i love him. more than anything... #reddie #reddie hc #reddie headcanon #richie tozier #eddie kaspbrak #it #it au #it hc #it 2017 #it 2019
