The Losers all decided to spend a week at Richie's house before the summer was completely over. Eddie figures this would be the perfect time to basically make his getaway. He would pack what he could in his bags he was taking box up most of his other stuff and his friend Tony from work who knew Eddie had filed for divorce and was planning to move agreed to ship the boxes out to him. The while he was gone the divorce papers would be served to Myra and then he would just not be coming back officially moving in with Richie. He and Richie had been seeing each other for about 2 months. The first couple of weeks they mostly just skyped and texted and called back and forth with Richie flying out a couple of times. Then for a whole month Richie stayed in New York or "business". He had just come out publicly and was working with getting his own material out there but these plans fell apart when Myra decided she wanted to go with him out to California. He tried to persuade her but she insisted that if he was going to keep seeing these people she would need to make sure they weren't going to be a negative influence on him. He wanted to insist that's she not his mother but he just tells himself he won't have to deal with her much longer. Im reality she was sure Eddie was having an affair. Ever since he retune from his trip these people who were his best friends showed up in his life that were not here before. About a month and a half ago he started having the late work nights. Or work dinners he had to attend that he never had before. One of those dinner he returned home drunk with his hair a mess and his shirt buttoned up crooked So she put it together that he must be seeing that friend Beverly and she was going to catch them.

The night of the day they all got in town they decided to all go out to grab food then bowling since most haven't been since they were teenagers. They were at the bowling ally when Richie said he was going to the bathroom and then not long after Eddie headed up to the front concession stand to get a water. A few minutes later Beverly went to the bar to get a beer and Myra thought it all to suspicious and claimed she was going to go see what was keeping Eddie. Instead she followed Beverly to the bar area looking through the pass through window to try and catch her husband in the act. But if only she wasn't so focused on what was happening in the bar and would have just looked to her left into the arcade she would have seen her husband pushed up against the street fighter machine hands fisted in Richie's hair and mouth being completely devoured by the taller man.

After breakfast the group all dispersed for a bit to do their own things and then to meet up in a while to swim. Stan and Patty decided to take a romantic morning walk along small beach area behind Richie's house while Ben and Mike checked over all the things in the pool making sure it was ready. Beverley and Bill headed to the store to grab some things so they could grill out later in the evening. Richie was standing at the breakfast bar that separates the kitchen and dining area when Myra walks through the front door and down the hall

"Have you seen Eddie?" She demands crossing her arms and acting like it was a chore to speak to Richie. He starts a little bit looking at her with wide eyes. Swallowing and letting out a heavy breath before asking her "what?!" A little too loudly she rolls her eyes and lets out a huff at having to speak to Richie any more than she wanted. out of all of eddies new friends she likes him the least well besides Beverly what kind of woman surround herself with that many men and expects not to be looked down on. She really doesn't like any of them but something about Richie just doesn't set right with her. He was loud and vulgar she just didn't understand what her Eddie finds funny about him. And the way he came out to the world and talks about his sexuality in public like he's proud of it.

"I said! Have you seen Eddie?" speaking to him like he was a preschooler

"nope sorry it's uh…" he stops closing his eyes for a second" it not my day to babysit." Ending his words on a little groan face tinting red. She just stares at him pursing her lips and getting angrier by the second he just stares back at her for a second before telling her

"I think he may..." he stops for a second taking a deep breath and gripping on to the counter edge" I think he went to the store with Bill and Bev" he finishes leaning on the counter putting a hand to his mouth biting his lip.

"Of course he did" she mumble walking away. As soon as Richie hears the back door shut he lets out a groan leaning back from the counter

"What the fuck dude! Your wife was standing 4 feet in front of us?" He asks looking down at Eddie kneeling on the floor

"Yea well I wasn't about to stand up and let her know I was here"

"Yea well you could have taken my dick out of your mouth"

"First time I've ever heard you say that" Eddie laughs going back to what he was doing before

"Fuck" Richie says leaning his elbows down on the counter

"Are you sure those glasses are clean?" Myra asks from the table she's sitting at. Riche rolls his eyes at Patty from where they were standing making drinks.

"Yea, they've literally come right out the package." He finally answers after the 3 comment she makes about the drink ware.

"It's just that they have been sitting outside and since Eddie insist on drinking he doesn't need any more unnecessary stuff entering his body." She says with smirk patting eddies arm

Eddie glares at Richie and says "Myra its fine. The glasses are clean and im an adult I can have a drink if I fucking want too" knowing Richie was no doubtfully going to make a dirty joke about what Myra said about stuff entering his body. Richie must get the point so instead snatches the glass up

"I'll go fucking wash it then." He say heading inside to the kitchen. Eddie stares at Myra with a scowl and the follows Richie inside. A few seconds later Beverley breaks the silence standing up and saying

"Excuse me I'll be right back" and head to the bathroom. A minute later Myra follows her inside.

" what a bitch" Patty says sitting down and laying her head on Stan's shoulder as Bill chokes on his drink and Mike and Ben let out a laugh

"Patty Cakes baby, I think you've had enough to drink" Stan tells her laughing

In the house Myra stands outside the bathroom door arms crossed foot tapping waiting for Beverly and Eddie to come out so she can finally catch them. The door opens and Beverly exits alone

"oh I didn't realize a line was forming" she tells her as she passes by in the hallway and heads back out the back door Myra barrels into the bathroom just to make sure.

Meanwhile in the kitchen Eddie has Richie pushed up against the counter one hand on his neck pulling him down kissing him and the other holding onto the waistband of his shorts.

"Fuck I hate this shirt it's so fucking ugly but oh when you wear it open like this..." Eddie tells him gesturing at his chest. Then grabbing both sides of the shirt and pulling him in for another kiss "it's just like your teasing me on purpose" he tells him laying kisses across his collarbone before dropping down to his knees his hands going to Richie's zipper.

"whoa whoa Eds as much as I love you doing that I was only supposed to be coming in here to wash a glass can't take too long you know" Richie tells him pulling him back to standing and kissing him one more time before heading bac outside.

The losers were sitting around the living room watching a movie. Myra mumbling some negative remark every few minutes about the movie.

"If you hate the movie this much please just go do something else." Eddie tells her. "And just let the rest of us enjoy it" brushing her hand away from his thigh and back of his head where she keep bothering with his hair.

"Why do you keep ignoring me Eddie? "She loudly whispers

"Im trying to watch the movie"

"Oh but that doesn't bother you" she gestures towards the rest of the couch where Richie has his feet propped up on the coffee table leaning onto Eddies side just realizing he had his right hand in Richie's hair.

"It's just. I don't know it's just different no one's moving" Eddie tells her hoping the blush isn't showing on his face.

"I just think for adults you all are just a little to touchy feely with each other" looking around the room at everyone managing to touch one another without realizing it. Stan was laying against Richie and patty in his lap leaning against the couch arm with her legs in Richie's lap. Beverly was sitting on the floor against eddies legs and the couch arm wrapped around Richie's arm that was hanging over the side. Ben was laying with his head in her lap with his legs stretched out feet propped up on the loveseat with bill laying his head on them his legs in mikes lap on the other end. Her rant was cut short by Richie's phone ringing

"Shit its Steve" Richie says climbing over the back of the couch and stepping out the back door.

"It's just a friend thing. Are you not close with your friends?" ben asks Myra ignores him turning her attention to Patty

"You're married into this group how you are this ok with it? You didn't grow up with them?

"I don't know they are just a very accepting and loving group" Patty shrugs

"Just let it go and be nice for once Myra" Eddie snaps at her

"Edward you cannot speak to me that way" she gasp out in surprise. Eddie just sighs and gets up from the couch. "Where are you going?"

"Just I need a minuet away" Eddie says walking out the back door. Just as he steps off to the side Richie's is stepping back upon the porch

"what's wrong?" he asks Eddie doesn't say anything just grabs his arm and pulls him towards the little pool house at the side of the yard and shoves him through the door.

Everyone inside just sits in silence until Beverly stands up saying

"Ok im going to go find Richie and have a smoke break" Myra just watches her go with a scowl on her face. After about 5 minutes Myra announces she's going to go find Eddie. She follows in the direction Beverly went hearing her talk and rounds the corner with purpose only to stop in her tracks when she sees her on the phone. Then demands to know where Eddie went

"I have no idea. I didn't see Richie or Eddie when I came out"

"Sure, im on to you MS marsh" Myra tells her pointing a finger in her direction stomping off in the opposite direction leaving a stunned Beverly standing there. Myra was so angry she didn't even notice the noise from the pool house

"Shhhh hold on I hear Myra" Eddie says quietly reaching back and putting his hand on Richie's hand holding his hips where he has him bent over the bench in there.

"Wouldn't want her to catch you like this" Richie laughs leaning over and biting at eddies shoulder when they hear her pass.

Myra wakes up in the middle of the night noticing Eddie was not in bed. She gets up in a huff and grabs her dressing gown and marches down the hallway to the door she knew Beverly was staying in. She doesn't even knock just barges in with anger flowing through her

"Where is Eddie?!" She yells startling both Ben and Beverly up out of the bed all three of them staring at each other in shock for a minute.

"What the fuck?" Beverly yells at the same time a Myra yells

"What is he doing in here? Pointing at Ben

"This is our room" Ben responds still very confused and tired

"You two are together?" Myra asks

"Um yea, what did you think…and why the fuck are you barging in here?" Beverly asks

"I thought Eddie was having an affair with you"

"Um no, well not with me. Why would you think that?"

"he's been acting strange and keeps disappearing on this trip and you were the only single female here so I just assumed" Myra says but is cut off when she hears what sound like Eddie yelp from the door at the end of the hall. She heads off in that direction leaving Beverly and ben sitting in shock.

"Oh it's definitely not a woman she should have been worrying about." Ben says with a smile

"What? Oh. Oh shit…Richie?" Beverly asks with a bright smile on her face as Ben just nods

Eddie was laying on his back staring up at the ceiling still breathing heavily, Richie was lying next to him on his stomach arms crossed under his head smiling in eddies direction.

"Maybe I should just tell her to take the ticket and go back to New York and that im staying here and soon when she gets back she will receive the divorce papers" Eddie says looking over at Richie

"mmm. Is that what you want? To just stay here?" Richie asks throwing an arm over eddies stomach and pulling himself closer and laying his head on Eddies' chest.

"Yea I mean that was the whole plan. Come here for the week was my excuses to get away but she decided to come along. She was supposed to be at the house to receive he divorce papers. I even has some of my stuff being shipped here. Stuff I didn't want her to throw out after she got the papers Do you thing she suspects something?"

Does it matter if she knows now? The divorce is going? Richie asks him leaning up on an elbow and leaning down kissing him. Eddie outs his arms around his neck pulling him in closer.

"I mean I guess it doesn't and I really don't want to go back to New York and keep sneaking around. "Eddie say and the lets out a little yelp when Richie rolls over onto his back pulling Eddie on top of him. Richie smiles at him and starts kissing him again

"Im..." Richie is cut off by the door slamming open Eddie flinging himself off of Richie both of them staring at the open door

"Eddie bear what are….." Myra stands there wide eyed and mouth open "I…I had a suspicion but…..not like this." She gestures towards the bed where they both sit still in shock blanket pooled around their waist indicating that they were clearly naked.
