Summary
“How about a bet?”
Keith paused.
“If I can make you fall in love with the holidays by Christmas night, you’ll take the shift.”
Keith snorted, turning to face Lance. He kept that vaguely annoyed smile on his face, but nothing could hide the gleam of interest in his eyes.
“You’re not going to make that happen.”
“Okay,” Lance shrugged. “Then what’s the harm of taking the bet?”
Keith’s eyes rose to the ceiling, thinking.
“And,” Lance rushed in, “and I’ll sweeten the deal. I’ll work New Years as well.”
Now that got Keith’s attention.
They had drawn straws for who would work New Years Day weeks ago. It was one of the worst shifts for a toy store. Being deathly hungover while listening to kids scream and toys screech was the stuff of nightmares. Keith had lost and was stuck with the shift.
A slow grin tugged at Keith’s lips. “You’re insane.”***
When Lance gets stuck with the Christmas shift, he immediately turns to Keith, a self-proclaimed Scrooge, to cover the shift. When Keith refuses, Lance offers up a bet. If he can make Keith fall in love with the holidays before Christmas, Keith will take the shift. Nonsense straight from a Hallmark movie follows.

Summary
Richie pictures his father... his sad, old father, with his sad, old eyes, and his big, dumb mouth telling him to move out. “Yeah, probably within a month, I’d say.“
“A month?” Eddie says. He wipes some of the condensation off his glass, deep in thought. “...I’m trying to move as soon as possible, I guess.”
Richie knows it’s a bad idea. Bev has a crush on this guy. Living with him would be a sure way to guarantee his own heartbreak. When it comes to his happiness and Bev’s, he’d choose Bev every time. It would be smart to move on his own, but Wentworth’s wrinkled, glum face stares at Richie whenever he closes his eyes. He desperately needs an out, and he doesn’t want to be alone. Eddie seems like he needs the same. Richie knows– he knows! This is a bad idea. But he can’t stop the Trashmouth itself as it possesses him, opens his tightly clenched teeth, and says, “I can work with ‘as soon as possible.’”
___________________________________
TLDR, Richie's having a quarter-life crisis. Enter Eddie and a couple of unfortunate miscommunications.
