3rd Person P.O.V.

"Ok Eddie bear, be safe. No leaving the house or inviting people over." Sonia squeezed into her car, waving and blowing kisses toward Eddie. "I'll be back on Monday!"

"Bye mommy!" Eddie exclaimed. He watched as she pulled out of the driveway, taking off down the street. Eddie turned, rolling his eyes. His mother was way too overprotective, and it made him feel trapped. He walked back inside, making a beeline for the phone.

"Trashmouth speaking."

"Richie, can you come over tonight? My mom just left, and-"

"Eds! I'll be there!" Eddie could practically hear the curly-headed boy's grin through the phone. "What time, Spaghetti Man?"

"Don't call me that." He paused, checking his watch. "7 or 8, maybe? And don't forget to bring your toothbrush this time," Eddie reminded.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. I'll be there at 6:30, Eds." Richie hung up, leaving an exasperated Eddie.

"He doesn't listen to a word I say," Eddie muttered angrily. He sighed, heading upstairs to finish his homework. Eddie had to write an essay for English, and he still hadn't figured out his topic. He sighed, tapping the pencil against the desk. He was so distracted he barely noticed when sweat started beading on his forehead.

The room felt hot and stuffy. Eddie frowned, opening a window to let some cool air in. Except now he was cold. Eddie stood up from his desk, stumbling slightly. He was strangely dizzy, and his head pounded with a fresh headache.

Eddie didn't think too much of it. He quickly downed two Advil, sitting back at the desk. He shivered, reaching to close the window. Eddie absentmindedly wiped the sweat from his brow, returning to his essay. His head was swimming, black spots overtaking his vision. What was going on with him?

Eddie was drawn away from his thoughts by a quick thumping noise, which sounded far away. The noise was constant, and the confused boy eventually realized it wasn't in his head, it was Richie at the door. He groaned, slowly making his way down the stairs to the door.

"Fucking finally, I thought my arm was gonna fall off- woah." Richie gaped at the sight of his best friend. "You look like shit."

"Wow, thanks Rich," Eddie remarked, rolling his eyes. The curly-haired boy frowned, concern growing.

"No, seriously... maybe you should sit down," he suggested, eyeing the pale boy. His usually tanned skin was white as snow, with red flushed cheeks. Eddie huffed, but did as asked, Richie gently laying a hand on his forehead. His eyes widened. "Yeah, you're definitely sick. You're going to bed." The taller boy picked Eddie up bridal style, carrying him up the stairs to his room. The brunette let out a small noise of protest, but didn't make any effort to fight against Richie.

"Rich, you don't have to, I'm fine, really," Eddie insisted. Richie set him down in bed, pushing his head into the pillow.

"Stay down, ok? Where do you keep the thermometer?" The curly-haired boy wondered.

"Bathroom drawer." Richie ran to fetch the device, leaving a tired, headachy Eddie in bed. He groaned, closing his eyes and draping an arm over his head. He could feel waves of exhaustion wash over him.

"Ok, I've got it- Eds?" Richie was by his side in an instant. "Hey, I need you to stay awake for just a little longer, ok?" Eddie hummed weakly, making no effort to move his arm. Richie stuck the thermometer in the smaller boy's mouth, waiting anxiously for the results. It beeped, and the older boy quickly read the results.

"101.4°F, that's not that bad..." He trailed off, looking to Eddie for confirmation. Instead, he got soft snores. Richie shook his head, heading back to the bathroom. He found a washcloth and wetted it, placing it on Eddie's forehead. He stared at his best friend, feeling nothing but love for the unconscious boy. Richie climbed into bed next to him, falling asleep with his arm draped over Eddie's chest.

"G'night Eds..." He whispered, quickly falling asleep.
