all for you - Willie/ryers (it 2017 x stranger things)

chapter 4

The boys exit the house still stiff but the feeling of the light breeze makes their movements just a tad softer. Richie didn't bother telling his mother where he was going as he knew she wouldnt care too much, hopefully.

You would think since it's California it must be beautiful where they live, well, if the desert is beautiful than, yes, it is. But Richie and will didn't think so. They talked about how boring and plain it is as if their thoughts could change the world.
.

Will told Richie about the bullies and the teachers that he would be meeting for the first time tomorrow. Though Richie was listening he couldn't stop staring at the other boy's lips. They looked so soft, so naive, so playful.

he laughed slightly as will mentioned the presentation he had to present on Friday, which Richie hoped he could get out of it with the excuse of being new.

.

Will quickly but silently took note on the boy's staring problem. He felt flustered and embarrassed but knew he didn't look the part. He never showed those emotions, though he wished he could.

Will loved to talk, even if he didn't seem to talk a lot or at all. He loved to ramble about his friends, jane, his grades and his teacher, his paintings, And his feelings. He never felt as safe a secure as he did in this moment. Talking like there was no tomorrow, making the other boy laugh at his bad jokes, walking around the neighborhood with only brief knowledge on how to get home.

He just felt safe with Richie.

But the lingering knowledge that Mike would be coming to California next week kept will grounded. Him knowing That he wasn't going to be free from Mike for a whole two weeks. It made will think of the meet up in a new light.

He only could hope what Richie said wouldnt be true for the two weeks he was with them.

.

"Hey will?" Richie waved a hand in front of his face. "Yes? Sorry I zoned out" will said being pulled from his own little world. "Oh okay, um, where are we?" Richie asked spinning around in a circle in front of will. Will looked around also and found himself not being able to figure out where they were.

"I don't know. Let's just go back they way we came" will said looking at Richie, noticing how pretty his eyes looked behind his glasses. "Okay" Richie smiled and looked over wills shoulder to the road behind him.

"Your eyes are really pretty Richie" will smiled, though will thought It was just a nice compliment, it sent Richie into auto pilot. "Same" Richie said mindlessly. "Huh?" Will laughed hitting Richie's arm playfully. "Oh shit- fuck, thank you. Sorry I'm not used to compliments" Richie laughed along. "It's fine" will smiled, slightly brushing shoulders with Richie as he passed him to go back down the road. Richie followed quickly and walked next to will as will laughed about the situation that just happened.

The only thoughts running through his mind was that will called his eyes pretty. Will called his shit brown eyes pretty.

Though Richie would never say it, He found wills eyes to be beautiful. Something about his Hazel eyes seemed so inviting and warm.
