***** Chapter 1 *****
Eddies' POV
Its been 5 years since we took down the clown. Life has moved on, almost
forgotten the horrible things that had happened. The missing children, seemed
to have vanished from peoples memories. Like they had never exsisted in the
first place. Bill still remembers Georgie, and all of us losers remember the
unlucky kids like Betty. But the rest of Derry, didn't.
I sat eatching my friend run around like children in front of me, we were at
the Barrons, celebrating the fact that school was over for the weekend. There
was a cold chill in the air, but nothing uncomfortable. I stared at them, 5
years changed them too. Bill, grown into a 6'0ft tall lean young man, his blue
eyes shown with aspirations and his stutter slowly going away with therapy.
Ben, his now 5'11 height helped dispurse his weight more proper, and while
still a bit stocky, he was strong and smart. Mike, towering over everyone at
6'2, his dark skin wrapped around his newly grown in muscle and broad
shoulders. Stanly was Bills height, still quite thin and dressed like a total
nerd. Beverly had grown into a beautiful young lady not saying she wasnt
already. She didn't grow much taller only being about 5'6. Her red hair grown
out to about collar bone length but always pulled back into a tight french
braid. Then Richie, god damn it Richie. He had grown to about 5'11 almost 6'0
foot. His hair about ear length and still a slick black with curls. His large
bottle cap glasses purched onto the bridge of his nose, and smile always seemed
to light up my day. His nody was no longer skinny and more lean muscle. My
stomach sqeezed everytime I looked at him. But looking down at myself I didn't
stand a chance. I only grew to a small height of 5'7, I was thin and nerdy. I
still carried around an inhaler just incase of a panic attack as it would help
me breathe. My dark brown hair and dull brown eyes didn't stand out against my
sun kissed skin compared a girl like Bev and her bright blue eyes and firey
hair. 
"Eds?" Richies voice instantly caught my attention as I looked up, 
"Don't call me that. And what?" I asked, he smirked,
"As you and the others know, the one and only, incredibly gorgeous and
irrisitable Richie Tozier's birthday is on sunday. And I'm having a party
tomorrow. You coming?" He asked making all of the friends either laugh or just
roll their eyes at his arrogance. 
"Yeah wouldn't miss it for the world!" I said hoping not to sound too excited.
He smiled turning back to his stick sword fight he was having with Bill. 
The day went by quickly almost too quickly if you ask me. The sun was just
starting to set as we all rode our bikes home, Mike had already said his
goodbyes and it slowly dwindled down to just me and Richie. "So you wanna sleep
over tomorrow?" He asked out of nowhere cycling close to me at a slower speed. 
"Sure," I said. Me and Rich usually had sleep overs not as often as we used to
but still had them. 
"Awesome! Dad's out of town and mom is always away on the weekends so, Figured
id be fun!" He said focusing back to the road in front of him. I forced a
smile, but honestly felt bad. Richies dad is a Doctor who travels a lot for
confrences. And his mother? While she just likes getting drunk with his fathers
money, and finding her way into another mans bed. Or at least thats what Richie
said. 
Once we reached my house I said my goodbyes to my friend, feeling my stomach
tighten not wanting him to leave. He got off his bike, making me giv ehim a
questioning look. He stepped up to me getting a little too close, everything in
me wanted nothing more then to press myself harder into him, but I forced a
step back instead. He smirked but then grabbed me, pulling me into a tight hug.
I frowned at first, honestly not know what to do. But his warmth made me relax
and put my arms around him. The hug only lasted a couple seconds to my dismay.
He pilled away smiling then got back onto his bike. "Night Eddie Spaghetti!
Tell your mom I miss her!" He laughed as he road off. I rolled my eyes knowing
better then to shout back a 'Don't call me that' this late. 
I sighed stepping into the quiet house. I looked at the clock to see it was
already 8 at night, I looked over to find my mother seated in front of the tv,
it blaring a game show as she snored quietly. I rolled my eyes walk up and into
my bedroom. I put down my backpack and pressed play on my cesset player letting
gentle music fill the room. Laying down on the bed I let my tight muscles relax
and my eyes flutter closed. My brain instantly went to Richie, remembering a
time back last summer, when we went swimming, the way the water lit up his body
in the sun. And how I noticed he had grown a happy trail, guided by the V shape
his hips had formed, leading you vision unseen territoy. My mind could only
image was he looked like... Felt like... Tasted like. I opened my eyes quickly,
realizing my brain had gone to an area man shouldn't be thinking about another
man. I looked down at myself realizing the tent that had been formed in my
pants by my harded member. I grumbled to myself getting up and grabbing my
things for a shower. 
Once I stepped into the warm shower my body relaxed further, I leaned agained
the wall of the shower while grabbing the bar of soap lathering my hands. I
rubbed the soup over my thin body, looking down at it I was unimpressed almost
sad by how it looked. My dick twitched as I got close to it, but besides for
cleaning purposes I was not touching it. Cause then I would be doing things to
myself a man shouldn't be doing because of another man. 
Onve finished my shower I got into comfortable clothing, and got back into bed
closing my eyes. My mind once again drifted to Richie, throwing a small temper
tantrum at my brain, I rubbed the bridge of my nose. Tomorrow was not going to
be easy.

Chapter Notes
     Let me start by saying holy crap thank you to those who have
     commented liked and read! I'm actually mind blown by the amount if
     people already!
     I do know there are mistake in the first chapter. I hope to fix those
     soon!
Eddie's POV
I woke up to the sound of gentle tapping. Opening and straining my eyes due to
the suns rays shining into the now brightly lit bedroom I sat up and looked
around. The tapping had already stopped by the time I sat up so I shrugged
looking at the time, it read 9:30am. I smiled and snuggled back into my warm
bed knowing I have a bit more time to sleep. I felt my body begin to relax but
that was quickly ripped away when loud tapping began. I sighed sitting up and
getting out of bed knowing it was coming from the window. The crisp morning air
washed into the room as I opened the window. A shiver instantly ran down my
spine making me turn quickly back toward my bed. I heard someone crawling
though the window closing it behind them, I didnt even need to look to know it
was Richie. He only did this periodically making it easier to avoid my mother.
I got back into my bed cuddling into the blankets and closing my eyes releasing
a long yawn. "Sleeping in so you can survive tonight Eds?" Richies, deep smooth
voice ripped through the silence of the room.
"Mm, Don't call me that, and yeah something like that," I answered. 
"Good idea!" He replied, followed by rustling and then suddenly my warm
blankets being ripped off me causing cold air to rush in sending a chill
through my body. But just as quick as they were removed they were restored as
well as a warm body next to me. My stomach tightened uncomfortably as i turned
my head and opened my eyes to find Richie facing me. The years had matured
Richies face, his dark brown eyes always hidden behind glasses but right now
they closed while his glasses sat on the bedside table. His once boyish
features trasfered into a strong jaw line and sucked in cheeks, making his
already pronounced cheek bones stand out more. His soft pink lips slightly
open, and his gentle breathing fanned my face making me smell nicotine and
mint. You could tell as well that he was already shaving due to the fact that
every so often he would be lazy and shadow would grow in. He was lucky, my face
hadn't changed much. My cheeks still full and child like, my brown eyes still
innocent, and like hell if I could grow a beard or any facial hair. A man would
never want a child looking person like me. Sighing I turned my body toward the
wall and relaxed feeling myself slipping to sleep.
Banging on my door woke me this time, "Eddie?!" My mothers voice shouted
through, I tried to sit up but instead was weighed down by a arm that pulling
me deeper into Richies' chest. My stomach didn't have the time to do flips
because I was already pushing it off and shaking him to wake up. "Why is this
door locked?! What did we say about locking the doors! What if something were
to happen and I couldn't-"
"Yes ma!" I interupted. I shook Richie more violently which cause him to mumble
and slap my hands away from him. "Richie wake the fuck up," I whisper yelled.
He opened his one eye and looked at me questioning.
"Eddie!" My mothers voice cut off my trance that was beginning and obviously
caught Richies attention as he sat up quickly and reached for his glasses. I
started pushing him to get up and he followed my actions. "Eddie are you
doing... Boyish things to yourself?" All life drained out of my face at her
words. I looked to Richie seeing a smirk starting to spread. "You know what
I've said about doing that! Its a sin and very dirty!" She said, I groaned.
"No ma! Go away!" I shouted, Richie was now chocking on a laugh as I pushed him
toward the window. I gave him the stink eye, but he simply smiled wider and
gave me a wink, climbing back out the window. I closed it behind him and walked
to the door. My mother stood behind giving me a disappointed look with her arms
crossed. I rolled my eyes and slib passed her going to the front door to find
Bill waiting patiently.
He followed me up to my room as I still needed to change. I pulled off my shirt
and I heard the creek of my bed, signalling that he had sat down. "Hey sorry
man really lost track of time," I apologized pulling on a new shirt.
"Did Ri-Richie have to do with said loss of t-t-Time?" He questioned, turning
my vision to him I frowned slightly. "I saw him S-sn-sneaking out of the
backyard" He added. I rolled my eyes and continued changing.
"Yeah we kind fell asleep," I tried to explain, going toward the mirror and
running my hands through my hair to clean it up a bit. 
"Well I di-didn't thing you were f-fucking," He joked making me freeze for a
split second then force a snort. "Unless there is s-so-something I don't know?"
I shook my head quickly. He only smirked back.
It was already 7:45pm by the time we finished up at Bills. He wanted my help
for 1 picking out an outfit and 2 to wrap Richie's presents. We got side
tracked by food however. We were making our way to Richies and could already
hear the music playing, I looked down at my hands noticing I only his gift,
"Fuck," I hissed causing bill to look over "I forgot my sleeping stuff, suppose
to sleep over tonight." I said, Bill shrugged,
"I'm sure Richie will lend you s-s-something" He replied. I nodded puting the
gift in my back pocket feeling my stomach build with anxiousness. We entered
Richies backyard to find a party already in full swing. Bunch of people from
school were there, drinking, smoking and dancing around. I scanned the area and
my eyes landed on Richie talking to the rest of the Losers at the far side of
the yard. Bill and I made our way over, Richie and Bev both had a smoke and a
beer in hand while the rest had just a beer. Richies eyes connected with mine
and instantly lit up, "Eddie Spaghetti! You guys had me worried you weren't
gonna show!" He said as we got closed. 
"Don't call me that, and Yeah sorry we were running a little late." I replied,
he nodded pulling a beer off the table and cracked it open handing it to me.
"No I'm good," I said rejecting the offer. Bill however quickly grabbed it.
Everyone began talking again and I took the time to look at what people were
wearing, Bev was dressed in a short dress, her hair not pulled back but instead
hanging loose on her shoulders. Mike and Ben were dressed pretty normal in
blank t-shirts and jeans. Stan was dressed his normal nerdy way in a collared
shirt tucked into khakis. Bill was dressed in a flannel top and dark jeans,
that I helped him pick out. Richie, looking amazing as he always does was
wearing a plain grey t-shirt and jeans. Simple but seems to make him look
great. I shook my head feeling almost out of place in my collared white golf
shirt and khakis. 
As the night progressed the more drunk people became, the dancing slowly
stopped and turned into everyone finding a partner and making out. I sat by
myself watching my friends slowly get picked up by people including Richie. My
stomach twisted seeing him so close to this beautiful girl, the way he looked
her up and down and backed her up against a tree made jealousy spread over my
chest. What I feared however is that I wasn't jealous of him. My train of
thought was forgotten by someone sitting beside me. I looked over to see Bill
with a frown on his face and a beer in his hand. "Whats wrong?" I questioned,
catching his attention from whatever he was staring at. He simply pointed to a
scene that consisted of Bev talking to one of the guys on the football team
blushing. I nodded understanding exactly how he felt. 
"Do you like Richie?" Not a single hesitation or stutter to be found in his
question. I quickly shook my head,
"What!? No! How could you ask that!  I mean of course I like him hes one of my
best friends but that doesn't mean I like like him! Thats not right! For a man
to like another man! Its sick, meaning I would be sick! And I ain't sick cause
my mom would have a cow if I was!" I rambled anxiety filling my body, causing
me to reach for my inhaler to realize I didn't have it, Panic washing over m.
However when I notice Bills eyes just filled with a soft apologetic look. I
chocked out a sigh and nodded my head yes knowing he'd know. I felt him place
his free hand on my shoulder and rub gentle circles with his thumb relaxing me
a tad as I tried to find my breath. 
"If it helps," He started making me look at him, his eyes gentler then ever "I
don't think you si-sick" He said with a small smile. I gave him a half hearted
smile feeling my anxiety lower a tad,
"Thanks Bill," I said feeling my breathing balance out a bit. He nodded with a
smile, then stood
"Well time to ruin her night," he said with a wink then started walking toward
Bev making me laugh. 
I turned my vision back toward Richie, to find him completely pressed against
the beautiful brunette, his lips on hers kissing her hard aand passionately. My
breath stopped in my throat seeing it, feeling jealousy that quickly turned to
sadness wash over me. I once again couldn't breathe, struggling I knew the only
person who would have an inhaler was Richie, and he. Well he was otherwise
destracted. 
I forced myself to stay seated even though I struggled on every breath, my skin
was pale and starting to get soaked with anxious sweat. Then I felt something
pressed into my mouth, I looked up to find Richie standing there, eyes filled
with concern holding an inhaler between my lips. He then clicked down the tank
making fresh metal tasting oxygen flow into my mouth and into my lungs
instantly relaxing the knot in my chest. He gave it one last puff before
pulling it out and putting the cap back on. I relaxed slightly feeling air push
into my lungs without strain. I raised my eyes back to his, "What the hell
Eddie! Why didn't you come over I would have stopped that shit quicker then
your mom in bed If you had" He said to me throwing in a joke. My eyes shifted
to the girl standing behind him looking bored and unimpressed, Richie followed
my vision then turned back to me. "No, no matter what I am doing, You are more
important got it?" He said getting closer, I could smell the alcohol on his
breath. Nodding I smiled gently and he returned it. He then turned back to the
women making my heart sink.
They got a distance away that I couldn't hear them but she did not look happy.
I fazed them out thinking back to there kissing. Richie look like a pro, like
he knew exactly how to move and what to do. His body was pressed against her,
leading me to believe he wanted it to go farther then what was happening, and
that I ruined it. "Yo! Eds!" My thought was cut off my snapping in my face
created by Richie, I frowned at him as he grabbed my hand pulling me up fron my
seated position. "Lets dance," He said pulling me closer to where the music was
playing.
"Are you drunk! No!" I replied my stomach flipped against my will at the fact
that I realized he had ditched the girl for me.
"Yeah I am drunk, so don't be a buzz kill," He laughed pulling me in close to
him. I groaned being forced to dance with him was incredubly annoying. "Damn
make that sound again," He said catching my attention. His eyes were filled
with a spark of something I had never seen before, but it could just be his
glasses reflecting the lights.
"You're disgusting," I replied making him smile devilishly. I felt his hand
slowly move down my back onto my butt then squeeze it hard. I had to surpress
the groan of excitement that wanted to escape for a gasp of anger. "Hey!
Don't!" I shouted pulling out of his grip. 
Just as I did Bill came close to Richie, Rich shifted his gaze from me to him
listened to him tell him that he and the rest of the Losers were heading home
that it was getting late. I didn't really realize how late it was till I looked
around to find very little people still there. "Ha-happy birthday Rich" Bill
said then transfered his gaze to me, sending a reasuring smile. I felt my
cheeks heat up. Richie turned his eyes back to me getting close once again, and
I could have sworn he pushed his waist against me, but I pulled away too
quickly to know for sure.
"Lets go to my room" He said grabbing my hand and pulling me toward the house.
Oh fuck.

Eddie's POV
Richie pulled my by the wrist harshly through the house. I tugged to get out of
his grip but the more I pulled the more he tightened. "Richie Stop!" I shouted
pulling harder, but he didn't "Richie you're hurting me," I said with a pout,
instantly all the strain was released as he softened his grip, 
"Shit," He murmured looking at my red and agitated wrist. It didn't hurt
anymore, espectually since he released his grip, "Sorry Eddie," he said
shifting his view to me. I just gave a small smile, and allowed him to take my
hand and pulling me gently to his room. My stomach fluttered at the sudden
gentle contact but I pushed the feeling down. Once I enter Richie's room
familiarity rushed through me, and while I have been in here often it hadn't
changed much in the last few years. His twin bed sitting against the farthest
wall dressed in deep green sheets. His room was a dark grey but most of the
walls were covered with posters of popular rock bands. His bed side table was
worn and old and his dresser looked the same. I turned my vision back to Richie
realize that he had pulled his shirt up and off. My eyes roamed his body,
staring at his lean yet strong body, his muscles flexing with every movement.
My trance was only broke when I heard his clear his throat, I made eye contact
noticing the smirk that had spread across his face and the raised eyebrow. I
felt heat rush to my cheeks as I turned quickly around to give him his privacy.
I heard a soft chuckle then the ruffling of jeans, taking a deep breath I
closed my eyes. Suddenly I felt closeness on my back, and arms wrap around me
pulling me deep into a chest, his warm breath on my neck a he leaned into it. I
slightly relaxed no matter how gross the alcohol well was on him, it was still
him. I felt his fingers lace under my shirt grazing across my hips making a
shiver run down my back. The warm of his breath on my neck made my
involuntarily move my head to the side giving him more access to it. I felt a
smirk form onto his face as he moved his long thing fingers to grip my shirt.
The I felt him slowly pulling it u[, instantly I grabbed his hand to stop,
"What are you doing Rich?" I asked, "Getting you ready for bed Eddie
Spaghetti," He breathed making me shiver. I pulled away from him quickly
earning me a look of confusion, we was only dressed in pajama pants and now
shirt. "Don't call me that, and I can do it myself, so you have anything I can
wear? I kind have forgotten all my stuff..." He nodded turning himself toward
his closet, he pulled out one of his shirt and a pair of pajama bottoms. I
smiled then rushed to the bathroom before he could say anything. I slid off my
normal everyday clothing and pulled on the pants realizing how loose they were
I tugged on the strings making them as tight as possible. Then I pulled on the
huge baggy shirt and my nose filled with his smell.
I walked back into the bedroom to find him already laying in bed on his back,
his glasses already off. His vision shifted from his roof to me and smile
spread on his lips, moving over he patted the spot beside him. Sighing I got in
to the bed beside him, his scent overloaded my senses. He rolled over and
looked at me with wide curious eyes, "Your freckles are so cute," he commented
making me gap, "Shut up no they aren't, and how can you even see them you don't
got your huge ass glasses" I answered pulling my hands up and covering my nose
which made him laugh. "No don't cover them, and I may be blind without them but
I don't loose all memory of you when they are off," He whispered pulling my
hand down from my face. He then moved close making me flinch and close my eyes,
however the warmth of his face made me snap my eyes open to find him his with
his forehead pressed against my temple, his nose sitting on my cheek. His deep
dark brown eyes were closed and his face was relaxed, at least that was what I
could see from my peripherals. I closed my eyes and relaxed, sighing "I love
you Eddie," He said so quietly I second guessed myself on whether he actually
said something, if he hadn't had been so close I definitely wouldn't have heard
it. "Hmm? Did you say something?" I asked. However his soft breathes was all
that could be heard. I frowned, maybe I imagined it? I relaxed deeper into the
bed and let sleep slowly take over me.
I woke up to find myself curled into Richie's arms, my head placed on his
chest. Slowly I pulled myself out of his grip and looked around, the sun was to
pouring into the room, and the birds were chirping. I looked at the clock to
find it read 9:30am. I sighed getting out of the warm bed and rubbed my eyes.
Gently so that I won't wake Richie I got up and walked out of the room and to
try to find some medicine and a glass of water for Richie when he woke up. 
Richie's POV
I opened my eyes to instantly regret it and shut them again, my head was
pounding and the sun burned. I felt around for my Eddie but his body was no
longer present beside me, forcing my eyes open I looked around the room to not
find a trace of him. Did he leave? I sighed sitting up and placing my head in
my hands yawning. The sound of my door creaking open caught my attention, and
there stood a blurry Eddie, holding a glass of water and something in the other
hand. I grabbed my glasses and put them on letting my eyes travel down his
small body, a smile pulling to my lips seeing him dressed in my clothing that
was obviously to large.  His big innocent brown eyes always drew me in and made
my dick stir. "I brought you some medicine for the headache you probably have,"
He said, looking to his feet and walked closer. I smiled and grabbed the glass
from his one hand and opened my other to allow him to drop the pill. I quickly
sucked it back take a long sip of the water then placed the glass on my
bedside.
"Thought you left me, felt kinda like a one night hook up,"  I said, seeing a
blush spread over his cheeks, 
"No, just thought you'd appreciate it," I smiled at his words.
"Awe my sweet Eddie lookin' after me," I teased, earning a sharp look from him.
"Remind me to never help you again," He said walking toward the bed getting on
and sitting cross legged in front of me. His young plump face made my mind sky
rocket with love and apprieation. "So I also brough up the Loser clubs gifts if
you want to open them now?" He said biting his lip. My eyes lit up
"Fuck yes!" I shouted excited, rolling his eyes he got off my bed and walked
back toward the door.
He brough in a couple gifts and we opened them, Bill got me a really awesome
band t-shirt, and a new poster for my wall. Mike got me cool light almost off
orange and mint green Hawaiian button up. Stan got a awesome Back to the Future
shirt. Ben got me a book about all the latest rock stars. And lastly Bev got me
6 different types of Hubba Bubba Bubble Tape. I smiled at all the wonderful
gifts I got over joyed them them all. I lookes up at Eddie seeing a light blush
casting ocer his cheeks. "Whats wrong Spaghetti?" I questiom, he squinted at me
harshly.
"Don't call me that, all of these gifts are so awesome, mines so bland," He
said. I rolled my eyes knowing I'd think the exact oposite because it was from
him. "Here"
He handed me a small wrapped rectangle, ripping open the paper I found 2 Mixed
taps inside. I smiled always loving when Eddie made me tapes as they always
made me feel so special. He'd spend so much time picking the right songs, hed
actually become frustrated when he couldn't. I quickly grabbed his shoulder and
pulled him into a huge. "This is perfect" I whispered, letting him go, his
feets were rosey with embarrasment. 
"I also at my place of a crazy amount of collected quaters, figured we could go
to the arcade!" My eyes bust out of my head as I quickly jumped up and off my
bed. He flintched slightly at the sudden movement, 
"Well come on! We got an arcade to rule!" I shouted, earning a soft laugh.

Eddie's POV
I sighed, I was exhausted, we spent all morning, and well into the afternoon
playing arcade games. Of course Richie was obviously better and won all of the
times we played together. However, I was one for the pac man's over the
fighting games he seemed so passionate in as he slamed his fingers into the
buttons. I watched as he swore at the little badly animated fighter,  he
promised it was his last game. Then we were heading to the corner deli to get
lunch and meet up with the rest of the losers. He sighed a swear word as the
screen flashed 'Game Over'. "Alright Trashmouth lets get going before the
Losers think we died."
The walk was silent but comfortable, weird for Richie to be quiet but it wasn't
an overly long walk. We entered the deli to be greated with the sound of
everyone trying to get our attention to come to them. We walked over to the put
together table, I sat down inbetween Bev and Bill while Richie sat at the head
of the table. They all began to wish him happy birthdays and my attention
turned to the menu. "Damn Richie I thought you bailed on your own birthday
Lunch" Mike said laughing taking a sip of whatever he had.
"Fuck no man!" The waitress came to us, a beautiful young lady, I think she is
part of our school but I couldn't exactly tell.  She placed a milkshake in
front of Richie, chocolate,with extra whipcream and strawberry sauce on top.
"My favorite! Thank you sweet heart" He winked, making a bright red blush cast
over her cheeks and nose. My stomach spiked with jealousy as I clenched my
fists. 
"So Eddie," Bev's voice pulled me out of my jealoud rage, "You guys skipping
school tomorrow with us and staying at Bills?" She asked with a innocent smile,
knowing fully well the answer.
"Bev you know my mom will have my ass,"
"Not as bad as I want that ass," Richies voice piped up, I sent him a sharp
glare
"Shut it trashmouth" I hissed then turned my attention back to a giggling
Beverly. 
"C-come on Eddie! Wouldn't be the s-sa-same without you!" Bill put in. I
growned at the idea, 
"All of your parents are okay with this?" I asked. They all nodded but Stan,
"Mine know Ill be with Bill but they trust Bill to be 'responcible'" He said
making finger quotations. I sighed rubbing the back of my neck.
"I'll see what I can do." I answered.
The lunch went on without a hitch, filled with laughter, useless swearing and
full mouth chatting. It was time to ask my mother the big one, "Hey mommy?" I
said knowing the Losers were all waiting for me outside of the house. 
"Mm" was all her responce as she painted her nails in her usual chair in front
of the tv.
"Could I stay at Bills tonight?" I asked hesatantly. 
"But Eddie its a school night?" she questioned almost as if she didn't
understand if I knew what day of the week it was.
"I know! We have a project we have to get done, And well its due tomorrow so we
want to spend as much time together as possible. And its just easier if i spend
the night cause then I dont have to rush home when it gets dark. And we'll go
to bed at a resonable time because we have to be up to hand in the project." I
rambled, hoping to hell she wouldn't see through my blunt and horrible lie. She
eyed me up suspisiously,
"Fine but be home tomorrow," she said turning back to her tv. I released a
breath that I didn't realize I was holding, and ran to grab my things and
backpack. 
"Thanks mommy!" I yelled as I left quickly before she could change her mind.
The losers questioned my backpack but with a quick explanation they understood
and applauded my ability to lie. When we got back to Bill's we went to his
room, and started setting up our sleeping bags. Bev the farthest away on the
one side of the room, and I was the end of the other. Richie beside me and
filled in from there. Bill of course in his own bed. We all laughed and talked
about useless stuff and put in a movie as background noice. His parents bought
us all pizza around dinner time. When we all finished eating I zoned into the
movie completely ignoring the group. 
"Eddie?" Ben's voice saying my name pulled my attention back and I looked
around realizing everyone was looking at me.
"Um, Yeah?" I answered. 
"W-we are going to play a g-game" Bill said handing me a container of
smarties. 
"We are all going to go around and say something we've done, please make it fun
not boring like 'I have worn underwear'" she said impersonating her best guy
voice. "and if you haven't you have to eat a chocolate," Bev explained further.
"Isn't is usually the other way around?" Stan questioned.
"Yeah but might as well be different!" She laughed back. They all shrugged in
agreement. "I'll start first! I haaaave." She thought for a few seconds, "I
have stripped in front of multiple boys!" She saif earning everyone to laugh
and not eat a chocolate.
"My turn! I have recieved oral!" Richie pushed in, some grimised at uncencered
words. 
"So if you haven't you eat?" I questioned just clarfying. The group nodded, I
quickly grabbed a chocolate and through it into my mouth, Bev did the same
sending me a smile. "I'll go next I guess, I have eatten an entire pie in one
sitting" I said proudly. The group laughed and Mike ate one.
"I have given oral'" Mike said smiling. I ate a chocolate along with Stan and
Ben. 
"I have gotten H-ha-hard in the middle of class" Bill piped in. Bev was the
only one to eat on that one, for obvious reason
We continued on till things got even more innoproprate, I ate a chocolate at
everyone making me feel slightly uncomfortable. "I have kissed a girl!" Bev
said loudly, earning a whisle from Richie and a 'wooop' from Mike. I ate my
chocolate as unnoticable as possible but instantly regreted my honesty.
"Eddie! You've never wxperenced the amazing thing of kissing  women before?!"
Richie said making heat rise to my cheeks,
"Fuck off" I hissed back.
"Alright, alright leave poor Eddie alone! I have had sex" Ben said proudly. I
was the only one to eat a chocolate. My stomach filled with a jealouy realizing
someone had experance Richie. Had been with him intimately. The swelling in my
stomach didn't stop causing myself to feel short of breath. I couldn't even
imagine Richie having sex, I wanted to though. I wanted to imagine the sounds
he'd make, the whispers he speak, the smell he'd let off, the taste he would
leave. I wanted to imagine it, and I wanted to experence it. 
"Eddie?" Richies voice said calmly pushing my attention away from my clammy 
hands to his dark brown eyes. My breath hitched looking into his eyes and
realizing how relaxed and comfortable they were. "You okay?" he questioned
worry hinting to his voice, I forced a smile and nodded looking to the worried
eyes of my fellow losers. All silently watching me,
"I am in love" I said quickly trying to draw attention away from me.
"Your mom doesn't count," Richie smirked,
"I know dipshit" I snapped back earning a wide smile.  Mike was the only one
who ate, making me focus on Richie a bit.
Hes fallen in love with someone, my stomach turned uncomfotably making me feel
sick as hell. There voices became drowned out as they laughed and continued the
game. Who could he love? Was it the girl that night? Couldn't have been he left
her so simply. Was it the one he had been intamate with? I felt my stomach
sqeeze and my breath hitch. What if it was someone I didn't know? He would tell
me wouldn't he, I am his best friend aren't I? Realization hit me when I
realized exactly what I said only minutes before, I admited I was in love, with
Richie. I stood quickly, running to the nearest bathroom, lifting the toliet
seat and dry heaving into it. Nothing came out leading me to believe I was
having an intense panic attack. I felt a hand travel down my spine as  I
chocked on my own breath. Shivering at the contacted I raised my vision to find
Richie beside me holding out my inhaler. Taking hold of it I breathed in the
metalic air, 
"You actually didn't know but I have a deal with your mom. I have to save your
ass whenever this happens and I get to keep sticking my dick in her"
"Beep Beep Richie," I interupted breathing gently. The rest of the losers stood
at the door. "Maybe its g-ge-getting late" Bill said looking at the clock, it
reaf 11:45pm. "We sh-sh-should get some re-rest" He smiled everyone nodded in
agreement.
I laid awake most of the night, my mind running circles around the whole thing
from earlier. Richie was fast asleep beside me when I turned in my sleeping bag
and looked at his smooth porcelin face that was lit up by the cast of the moon
light. I lifted my hand and gently ghosted my finger tips across his cheek.
"Richie?" I whispered getting close, but he didn't even stur. "Richie?" I said
again shaking him ever so gently. He mumbled something but turned his face
deeper into the bag. "Richie," I said a bit sharply making sure to be quiet but
to be close to his ear. He lifted his hand and pushed my face away, placing his
hand back down and fell back into sleep. I sighed lifting my hand again and
running it through his thick locks, slowly and gently detanglizing. I tugged
gently at the back of his head, at a tangle thay wouldn't untangle. This made a
deep noice rumble from Richies throat, this noice caused all of my blood to
rush from my body to my dick in a mere quarter of a second.
I debated pulling again in my mind, for a good 10 minutes as I contiued to
massage his head. However the wrong brain was now awake begging to hear that
noice again, so gently and quietly I tugged at the hair at the back of his
head. The deep sound errupted again however my thoughts were cut short when a
fast hand swiftly caught my hand with a tight grip. "Eddie." Richie's voice
came out sharp with little hesitation, "Don't do that again," He said pulled my
fingers out of his hair and pushing it back to me. 
"Rich?" I questioned, causing him to mumble a 'yes' in a irritated tone. "Who
are you in love with? I questioned feeling nervous to hear the answer. This
caused him to stir more and open his eyes,
"Why do you ask Eddie?" he asked quietly
"Well, I just you are my best friend, And well... I figured I was yours. and
Best friends tell eachother things like that and well-" i rambled quietly,
causing him to smirk and raise a brow.
"You didn't tell me," he pointed out causing me to bite down on my own life. I
nodded, not sure what to say. A deeo raspy chuckle was released as he grabbed
me by the hips and pulled ny closer to him, causing my heart to flutter.
"You'll know soon," he said. 
"Shut up both of you,"  Stan's annoyed whisper filled the room causing another
low laugh that vibrated his throat. I sighed into his warmth feeling myself
drift to sleep.
