Winter Mystery 🎄CHRISTMAS SPECIAL🎄(Reddie)

Chapter 4

Weeks had past and there was still no sight of Eddie. How long was he really going to be gone for? When would he finally come back? There were, and still are, so many questions to be answered.

It was now the 3rd of July. Usually the Losers would have a get together for the 4th of July but everyone knew it could never be the same without Eddie. But of course, that didn't stop them.

Beverly and Bill had set up a party and sent out invitations, hoping that people would actually show up this time. They knew it was a very slim chance of them having a real party but that didn't stop them from trying.

The party was at Bill's house, his parents agreed to having people over but they certainly did not agree to a party. Which is why Bill convinced his parents to get away for the weekend and treat themselves since they have been through so much. Surprisingly his parents fell for his tricks.

With Bill's parents gone, he invited the Losers over to prepare for the party. Everyone arrived, first Stanley, then Ben, then Beverly and Richie together, then finally Mike. Even though he knew it was impossible, everytime the door opened, a part of Richie thought it may be Eddie, but of course not.

The Losers started setting up for the party, getting the drinks into the fridge with the occasional sips of alcohol from Richie and Bev, and setting up the fireworks at a safe distance so no one gets hurt. Nothing could possible go wrong. To make it even better, the next day people actually showed up. Popular kids too. Even with the amount of games and alcohol, Richie still couldn't get Eddie off his mind. "Of course the one time Eds isn't here, we have the perfect fucking party." Richie yelled out to Bev, "Just enjoy yourself Rich. We always have next year!" Beverly said before winking at him and taking a sip of her alcohol. Richie rolled his eyes and chugged the rest of his drink, trying to get him into party mode.

Richie has been to multiple parties, much more crazier then this one. Even though he isn't as popular in the cool kid apartment, he is popular in the ladies apartment. Richie doesn't like it one bit though. The only good thing he gets out of it, is that he can hide the fact he isn't even into women.

Girls were hitting on Richie all night, some Richie hit back on but for most he just rolled his eyes and told them to fuck off. May have been harsh but he didn't care, he just wanted everyone to back off and the only way to stop them was to be mean.

Later during the night, around 11:00pm, Bill announced to everyone that the fireworks are going off any second. Quickly, people rushed to watch, some people watched from the windows on the inside but most were watching from the outside.

Mike lit up the fireworks and quickly ran away from it so he wouldn't get hurt. Richie was looking around at everyone, seeing who was going to kiss or who's the most drunk. That's when he sees Bill and Stan sitting next to each other on the porch step. The fireworks start to go off, it was such a magnificent sight. What was also a sight was Bill and Stanley kissing. Yes, kissing.

It had seemed Stanley went in first, but Bill was definitely kissing back. Richie's eyes widened at the fact he had no idea until now. Instead of focusing on the amazing fireworks Mike had set up, he walked over to the two boys.

They stopped kissing and opened their eyes, with light smiles on their faces they turned their heads and looked up to see Richie. He had his arms crossed and was staring at them blankly. No amount of drinking could make him forget this.

"WHAT THE FUCK!?" Riched screamed out at them. Bill's face changed and he quickly got up as his smile disappeared. He ran inside, clearly upset. Stanley called out his name several times but got no response, something was wrong. Stanley got up and follow Bill, leading him to his room. No one at the party was allowed upstairs, so it was as quiet as it could get. He knocked on Bill's bedroom door, no answer.

"Bill? It's me.." Stan said sincerely. Still no response. "May I please come in?" He asked. There was a gap of silence. Stanley sat on the ground with his back leaning against the door. He sighed and closed his eyes. "I'm sorry." He let out, "I shouldn't have kissed you.". There was still no response. He had enough, he got up and tried to open the door, it was locked. He then knocked on the door three times, "Please Bill?" It was silent. Then Stanly heard the sound of the door unlocking. He straightened his back and opened the door, only to see Bill sitting on his bed with his head in his lap.

Stanley closed the door behind him and slowly walked towards Bill. He then sat next to him and there was a comfortable silence. That was until Bill spoke up, "I-It's not that I-I d-didn't w-want to.." He started off, it sounded like he had been crying. "I-I just.." He stopped, not being able to find his words. "I don't want to lose you Stan." Bill said in the most clean voice ever. There was no stutter, no nothing. He was being dead serious.

Bill looked Stanley in the eyes, Stan didn't know what to say. He had one million thoughts running through his mind. "I-I," Stanley stuttered out, it seems they had traded voices. "I don't want to lose you either Bill." Stan said, making a small smile afterwards.

There was another gap on silence. The two just stared into each other's eyes, enjoying the time they shared together. Stanley brought his hand up to Bill's chin, slightly pushing his head up. Bill moved his hand to Stanley's left cheek. They both started moving in, closer to eachother, but they were interrupted as the door swung open. They both quickly moved away from each other and looked at the door, which had Ben standing infront of it.

"Sorry guys but Bill, your mom's here." Ben said making them both jump up, especially Bill. He could hear everyone evacuating his house as quickly as possible. Not having time to worry if everyone will now hate him, he was instead wondering whether he should just jump out the window to avoid the wrath his mother will bring down on him or actually deal with it.

Ben left the house and Stanley hid in Bill's closet, not having time to leave. The boys could hear footsteps walking up the stairs and they both tensed up, mainly Bill. As she entered the room you could tell she was mad.

"William Denbrough!" She yelled at him, "What in Gods name is this!?" She needed answers. "M-Mom I'm so s-sorry! We just w-wanted to have a pa-arty!" He was obviously scared. "Sorry isn't going to cut it." She turned around, "You are grounded for longer then you can count mister." She then walked out. Bill slowly walked up to his door and closed it as quietly as possible. He let out a breath and jumped on his bed. He obviously forgot Stanley was still in his closet because he fell asleep.

The next morning he woke up to the feeling of shaking, as his eyes slightly opened he saw Stanley infront of him, that's when he remembered.

"Oh s-shit s-sorry!" Bill apologised. "It's okay but I need to get out of here, my parents will realise I'm gone any minute now." Stanley stated. Bill got out of bed and opened his window. "You can climb down, don't worry it's safe." He reassured him. "Thanks Bill." Stan said with a smile on his face.

Stanley lifted himself up and out of the window, he squatted down once he was outside to say, "Thanks for the party Bill." He turned around but then turned back again, "oh and good luck with your mom." He said smiling, which made Bill roll his eyes. Before he could leave, he was pulled in one last time, for a kiss. The two shared a kiss for about ten seconds, then Stan broke it. "Sorry I really have to go." Bill nodded his head, "thanks though, I'll be sure to call you." Stan winked at him, which made him blush even more then he already was.

Anyone like a bit of Bill x Stanley sometimes???
