yea this was inevitable

I love all the different ways Richie and Eddie could get together after Chapter 2–grand love confessions, Capital K Kisses, running into each other’s arms, or months more of agonized pining… but I’m also sort of charmed by the idea of them just. Going on a date and “seeing what happens.” Because it’s laughable, right? The love there, the life-long friendship, the underlying supernatural force that surrounds their relationship… it’s more than a date can really articulate. But they still live in the real world, and Eddie’s just gotten divorced and his feelings are still a little vague so this is what they decide to do. And all in all it’s fine, just weird because it doesn’t really feel like a date, but the pressure of it being one still hangs over their heads so they can’t really hang out like normal either.
