(God, he really can't believe he forgot any of them. Seeing one in person, knowing that they're here, away from Derry, and more importantly away from It, makes Eddie so God damn relieved it nearly stops his heart. His personal embarrassment doesn't kick in quite as soon, mostly because for him, the distance has been wider and dug deeper.
He wants to hold on a fraction longer, but accepts that the hug is over. Instead, he grabs at Stan's arms. A part of him is a little nervous that if he let go, Stan would vanish like a mirage.)
At least I didn't kill Christ. (He responds with equal affection, complete with toothy grin.)
You're telling me. I've been here for a month and I've been completely alone.
(Not literally, but oh, no one was a Loser. No one really understood what it was like. Eddie wobbles for a second, in the eyes, the voice, and then he's hugging Stan again. It doesn't last too long though, and he's fully breaking away.)
I live on my own and everything. (Poorly, might he add. The kid was still just barely learning his way around cooking. Most of the time he just ate out or ate with someone who could cook.)
