TW HOMOPHOBIC SLURS

Eddie's POV
My mom surprisingly let's me go, Richie's gonna be there so I try and look nice, and leave at 12.

I get there at 12:30 but no one else is there. Weird. I swear to God if no one else shows up I'm getting new friends.

I wait for 10 minutes and Richie shows up.

"Hey Rich, uhm, where is everyone.."

"They probably all ditched, but hey, at least we can hangout right?"

Fuck... the last thing I need rn is to be alone with Richie..

"Yea, sounds great"

Losers Club👀

Benny🤍
Mom's making me stay home, I'm really sorry

Oh fuck. No no no.

"Uhm.. you look nice Eds"

"Oh yea you too"

Fuck.. this can not go good..

Richie's POV
Great, Bev texted me that she was going to try and set me and Eddie up. Which is great, like seriously I love the dude more than life, but, he doesn't even like guys. So he definetly doesn't like me

But, there's no harm in playing along I guess.

I get there and holy shit. The guy looks so amazing.

"Uhm.. you look nice Eds"

"Oh yea you too"

How do I do this? I don't want to lose my best friend. But Beverly wouldn't have done this if there wasn't a chance he liked me back.

"Hey, since it's just us can I talk to you?"

"Yea okay"

Welp Tozier, here goes.

"Uhm.. idk how to say this but, would you maybe want to call this a date? It's okay if not but I really like you romantically and I want to be your boyfriend, and I know you're probably straight, but I just.. idk, I figured maybe I had a chance.."

"Okay, first of all, I'm not straight, I'm bi, and the reason I've been avoiding you lately is because I had a dream where we madeout and I didn't want to ruin our friendship, and I would love to consider this a date"

Oh fuck yeah
