clockmaker eddie makes richie a magic pocket watch with an extra hand that ticks to the beat of his heart. sometimes it lets richie know when eddie's having a panic attack but mostly it's just romantic

richie carries eddie's heart with him... he carries it in his coat pocket

eddie gives him the watch before they're together; he does it because after he almost dies in [waggles hand] an incident in derry, richie keeps having nightmares about it, so eddie makes him a foolproof way to know that eddie's heart beats with his

when richie works up the courage to say something, he couches his feelings in an apology and eddie fixes him with the most deadpan stare in the world. "richie, i gave you my /heart/. that wasn't subtle. and do you know how long that thing took to design? i was waiting for you"
