(It was pretty hard not to become the mom friend with these boys, in her defense.

Eddie smiles a little bit at Rogue's insistence.)

Naw I know. It's why I came to you. I..knew I could. (Even if he felt bad about it, he at least didn't feel like it wasn't an option at all. That was important.)

When things are better, you can always stay with us too. Richie, Bill, and I all sleep in the same room anyway so there's a lot of spare room.

(He sounds a little sad as he says this because honestly, he'd gotten used to sleeping with either one of the two boys.)

It's...pretty huge, yeah. (His smile grows a little bit more before fading rather quickly.)

Thanks Rogue. You really are a good friend.
