SNL Richie, what if his crush on Seth Meyers doesn't go away and Eddie teases Richie about it every time they go out to a premiere and Set is like oh Hey Rich! And Richie just mmmmm Hi seth meyers, with literal heart eyes

It’s cute, Eddie thinks, when Richie tells him about it.

“Yeah, when-ha, this is embarrassing-when I worked on SNL I was attracted to a, uh, a certain cohost. A-a cohost who doubled as a news anchor. And who married a character I played.”

Eddie wracks his brain and then it clicks, and Richie sees it click, Eddie sees his face flush in embarrassment and he grins.

“Seth Meyers?” 

“He reminded me of you before I even remembered you!” Richie says defensively, “Fucking, angry twink energy!”

Eddie is wheezing with laughter, and Richie has a matching grin.

“Well, good thing you have the real thing now.” Eddie says after he catches his breath. 

It rears its head again, when Richie is asked to host SNL sometime after he comes out. Eddie sits in the front row, where the cameras can pick him up if the sketches come out into the audience, and he eyes Richie fondly. 

He grins when it’s revealed Seth has returned for a few skits and Eddie can see the way Richie’s eyes light up and he smiles a little shyly and Eddie practically giggles with eagerness. He’s keyed up for the rest of the night.

When they’re saying goodbye and mingling with each other Eddie goes backstage and waits for Richie behind the sets. He taps away on his phone until he hears Richie’s voice. 

“Oh! Seth, you have to meet Eddie!” Oh and Eddie can hear the excitement in his voice. This is going to be so fun.

He’s pleasantly enamored by Seth, can see what Richie saw in him, and doesn’t miss the way Richie is heart eyes looking at them both while they chat away, talking about nothing and everything. 

When they’re on their way back to the hotel Eddie smiles, pressing a kiss to Richie’s neck in the back of their Uber. 

“Eds, wha-”

“You’re not as subtle as you think you are.” Richie is quiet so Eddie huffs out a soft laugh against his skin, “You still have the hots for Seth.”

“What? No I don’t!” His tone is wrong, like he’s lying, and Eddie laughs a little louder.

“It’s cute Richie. But I’m always gonna lord it over you.” Richie sighs but Eddie can see his smile in his peripheral.

Richie’s phone buzzes softly and they both look down as the screen lights up.

Seth 😎: It was great seeing you again, man. We should hang out if you’re staying in NY for a while. :) 

Eddie grins and snatches the phone before Richie can keep it from him.

That sounds fun! Let’s make a date of it!

Richie snatches it back and quickly backpedals. 

Day* I meant day. I have a boyfriend. 

Eddie laughs, until the phone buzzes again.

Seth 😎: Haha it’s fine. I wouldn’t mind making a “date” of it, and bring Eddie too! I want to hear more embarrassing stories of you as a kid. 

Richie blushes so hard Eddie can see it in the darkness. 

“Looks like the crush isn’t one-sided there, Richie.” He teases and Richie just groans, throwing his head back hard against the headrest. 

“I’m never going to live this down am I?” He asks pathetically, eyes full of laughter as he turns his head towards Eddie. 

“Oh, no, absolutely not.” Eddie says cheerfully, tangling their fingers together on the seat between them.
