Winter light cuts through the curtains, painting stripes across the room. Richie, buried under blankets, feels the chill and the empty space where Eddie should be. He cracks his eyes open, breathing in the cold air, but the other side of the bed is vacant. After a battle with his own laziness, the brunet pushes himself up, settles his glasses — held together with tape — onto his nose, and walks barefoot to the kitchen. There, amid the smell of waffles, stands Eddie in his shorts, calmly tending to breakfast while Richie shivers in his warm layers.
