"Bev?" I ask

"Yeah?" She calls back from the bathroom before walking in the room,smiling when she sees me "you look hot!" she says making me chuckle

Bev had moved in as soon as we got home from the quarry a week ago,Klarion was more then happy to let her live with us,and Richie wasn't the happiest about it but I can tell he's happy Bev is here

It was Tuesday afternoon,today is mine and Eddie's date

"Should I be this nervous?" I ask and she smiles

"You've quite literally been through hell together.and you've kissed before,and your nervous about going on a date?"

"We've never hung out with just us two before" I shrug "I don't know it feels weird,we've talked about this date for ages and now that it's finally happening it feels-"

"-surreal?" She says and I nod again

"Do you think he's as-"

"-nervous?" I give her a look and she chuckles "sorry,I just love finishing peoples sentences,also to answer you're question just remember that the slightest touch from you made him go into a full like asthma attack,I can only imagine him now just..going to an air con or freezer just to get extra air" she says and we both laugh

"Your dates here" Richie says,standing at the door

I look up confused

"Kidding,just wanted to say that you look nice" he says before walking away,clearly embarrassed that he wasn't being a dirty joking,eye rolling nerd for once

Me and Bev smile at eachother and I get up,walking into Richie's room,seeing him holding his lizard

"Hey Rich" he looks up "can we talk"

He looks around,as if to tell me that there wasn't even a need to ask

"About?" He asks as I sit on his bed

"The day I went missing.." I begin and I can see he's been dreading this conversation "In the arcade-"

"-can we not? No offence but I don't give a shit about that day anymore or what happened" he says,balling his fists up as he grows angry "but I do wish I could've broke his fucking nose or something-"

"-I did that..." I trail of "after you left I walked up to him and broke his nose..." I chuckle nervously

"Ok,I officially accept you and Eddie" he says making me laugh "I can imagine all the little Eddie's running around,screaming dick jokes and dying from no air every-time a girl looks their way" I laugh again,that somehow sounded so accurate

"Your ok with me and Eddie dating?" I ask "not that we are yet anyway but if we do-"

"-I'm ok with him" he leans forward "but if he hurts you-"
