Texting

do you believe in ghosts

I think you have the wrong number.

says who

I have no idea who you are.

it’d be pretty fucking weird if you did

I don’t text people that I don’t know.

then what do you call this

Eddie huffed out a frustrated sigh, wondering how someone texting the wrong number could so easily get under his skin. Maybe it was his impending finals week weighing on his shoulders, but he definitely wasn’t in the mood for this. He set his phone down and did his best to return his attention to his notes, hoping that whoever it was would give up. But then his phone buzzed again and his eyes flitted to the screen without Eddie’s permission.

are you gonna answer my question

Eddie scowled at the unfamiliar number, silently resolving not to answer. But several moments passed and his resolve weakened.

No.

no you don’t believe in ghosts or no you aren’t going to answer my question

Just no.

well aren’t you just a goddamn delight

Maybe I just don’t like random people blowing up my phone.

give it a few days

I’ll grow on you

like mold on cheese

That’s fucking disgusting.

they don’t call me trashmouth for nothin

Eddie didn’t really know what to say to that. How could someone possibly earn a nickname like that?

so what are you doing cutie

How do you know I’m cute?

just a feeling

Eddie decided to let that pass, not wanting to get into it.

Well I was studying for finals.

fuck that shit

studying is for losers

Well what are you doing that’s so wonderful?

studying

Eddie narrowed his eyes at the phone, feeling certain that he was just being fucked around with.

You just said that studying is for losers.

ah but I never said I wasn’t a loser

finals week comes around to shit on us all

You got that right.

see we’re already agreeing

I smell a june wedding

Not in this lifetime.

wait and see cutie

I’ll get you

Eddie set his phone aside for good this time, knowing he had to get back to studying. But he felt just a little less stressed, for some reason. He wasn’t going to spend too much time trying to figure out why.

__________

do you believe in aliens

Why do you care?

it’s called a conversation starter cutie

it worked last time

I believe that it’s foolish to think that we’re the only living beings in the universe.

Beyond that, I don’t know.

The odds of us talking about the same two people are highly unlikely.

do you really trust the odds

I don’t know.

I’m glad you’re okay.

thanks eds

Don’t call me that.

whatever you say

__________

Eddie didn’t know what to make of the party that he’d been dragged to by his friends. They were worried that he was becoming somewhat of a hermit. Mike insisted that it a partnered effort but Eddie had the feeling that Bill was the one who initiated the mission to get Eddie out into the city. So here they were, partying in a ridiculously large penthouse apartment that belonged to a friend of a friend of a friend of Bill.

Their own Washington Heights apartment could have fit into the kitchen, living, and dining room easily but Eddie wasn’t about to point that out to anyone, not wanting to be that person. He wasn’t about to drink in a stranger’s apartment, no matter how many people were getting tipsy and dancing around to the music. He preferred not to make a fool of himself standing in the middle of a multi-million dollar apartment.

“Is your man coming?” Mike asked Bill.

Eddie’s head snapped around and he narrowed his eyes at a guilty looking Bill. This was the first that he was hearing of it.

“He might be,” Bill said, smiling at Eddie. “I wanted you to meet him.”

“We couldn’t have done it at a bar like normal people?” Eddie demanded.

“Bill still wants to impress him,” Mike said with a knowing smile.

“I think he’s bringing friends,” Bill said as if that was going to bring Eddie around.

The mere mention of it made Eddie think of Richie, for some reason. He wasn’t kidding about the odds being stacked against them. Yet he was tempted to ask Bill if he knew the names of his boyfriend’s friends. But that might have been weird considering he didn’t really even remember the name of Bill’s boyfriend.

“Stan!”

That was definitely it. Eddie rolled his eyes in Mike’s direction but knew that he wouldn’t hold this against Bill. He was undeniably excited about this new boyfriend and Eddie wouldn’t begrudge him that.

“I think we might’ve found the infamous Bill we’ve heard so much about!” a loud voice said in an absolutely ridiculous British accent. “Nice to meet ya, old chap!”

“Shut the fuck up, Trashmouth,” a new voice said, sounding both annoyed and enamored all at once.

But the person’s voice wasn’t what got his attention. Eddie whirled around with wide eyes and barely noticed Bill greeting a curly-haired man with a kiss. It was the tall, bespectacled man with riotous dark curls and a toothy grin that caught Eddie’s eye. Even in the dim lights of the room, it was easy to see the freckles dotted across his nose and those high, defined cheekbones.

He was striking, and not just because of the slightly chaotic energy that he exuded. Eddie couldn’t help but stare and stare, wondering if the universe really worked like this. He didn’t even see Bill break away from Stan and barely felt Mike brush a concerned hand over his shoulder. All he could do was stare, color rising to his cheeks when those dark eyes met his and showed a little bit of confusion and awe.

“Who the fuck are you, gorgeous?” the taller man said, stepping closer to Eddie without missing a beat.

Eddie’s lips parted slightly but he had no idea what to say. What if he was wrong? There could very well be more than one person in New York City who was had such a terrible nickname. But Stan was the boyfriend in Brooklyn and Bill was the boyfriend in Washington Heights. What were the odds at this point?

“These are my friends,” Bill said, coming to his rescue. “Mike and Eddie.”

If there was any doubt before, the way that Richie’s eyes widened put it to rest.

“Holy shit,” he said.

Eddie couldn’t have agreed more.

“No flirting,” Stan said, clearly talking to Richie even though there were two others behind him, a redhead woman holding hands with another man.

“Sorry Stanny,” Richie breathed out, taking another step towards Eddie. “You know how I feel about rules.”

Eddie stood frozen as Richie reached out to wrap an arm around his waist, hauling him in close.

“Wanna tell me about those odds again, cutie?” Richie asked with a grin, his face inches away.

“Shut the fuck up and kiss me,” Eddie said.

Richie did just that, ignoring their confused and shocked friends as he brushed his lips over Eddie’s in a soft kiss that promised more. As he pressed closer, Eddie knew that he couldn’t wait to see what more entailed.

“Told you I’d get you,” Richie murmured against his lips.

With a soft laugh, Eddie dropped back to his heels and gazed up at Richie.

“I guess I should reevaluate my definition of impossible.”

“Damn straight.”
