    Summary

    Eddie raised an eyebrow as he took a step closer. “You have a dessert emergency at…” He checked the time on his watch. “Eight-thirty-nine at night?”
    “Yes,” the guy said. “Look, I have a very important event tomorrow. It’s my best friend’s little brother’s birthday party- he’s turning ten, so it’s kind of a big deal, you know? Anyways, I was in charge of the cake, and well, I guess there’s no good way to put it- but I completely forgot about the cake. But I can’t forget about the cake, because it’s the kid’s tenth fucking birthday, and I promised him the best cake in the world, and if I don’t deliver just that, his day will be ruined, and it will be my fault.” The guy paused to finally take a breath. He looked up at Eddie, and put on a desperate smile. “So, I need one cake, please and thank you.”
    “We’re closed,” Eddie repeated.

    Summary

    "Something in Richie broke after that summer. Well, something in all of them broke. But it was different with Richie. Something in him had /died,/ something bright behind his eyes that used to sparkle when he laughed. Then there was just… nothing. Just cold, metallic blue, thinly veiling whatever Eddie feared he might find if he kept looking deeper."
    -
    In essence, nearly fucking dying because your friend dragged you into some vendetta he has against a demon clown can leave a boy feeling jaded. Or, you know, cause him to have a psychological breakdown. It's a toss up.

    Summary

    “Go on, princess,” he encourages, and Eddie follows the man into the restroom across the food court, heels clicking against the tiles.

    And that guilt comes back as Richie flicks through the cash, creeping around his shoulders and holding him by his waist. He wants to vomit, or scream, or run and kick the shit out of the guy and tell him to stay away but he can’t. He won’t.

    Summary

    “What’s your name?” the guy asks. After a beat, Eddie sighs internally, then turns to him.

    “Eddie,” he tells him. The guy offers him a hand. It takes Eddie a second to process why, but then he’s hastily setting his laptop down on their shared table and taking his hand to shake.

    “Just Eddie,” the guy replies. A statement, not a question. “Like Madonna? Or Jesus?”

    “Jesus has a full name, it’s Jesus Christ,” Eddie reminds him.
