Summary: But now he remembers his childhood, and the fierceness of all the emotions he felt back then — love most of all. Love was a blood oath, it was Bev handing him the fencepost that could kill monsters, it was what made him throw that fencepost into Its gaping maw to save Richie from the deadlights. When it comes to what love feels like for Eddie, it’s always been — different, with Richie. He loves all of his friends with all of his heart, but Richie has burrowed in deeper, somehow, and if Eddie were a more dramatic or poetic man he might say he loves Richie in his bones, in his soul. But he isn’t, so he doesn’t say that, even if he maybe thinks it a little bit and feels ridiculous. -- Or, after killing It and returning to New York, Eddie decides to make a change.
Recommendation: This is great! It's so funny that Eddie thinks he needs a plausible excuse to stay with Richie, and because Eddie said it Richie does not question it one little bit. They are so cute though.
