More than friends {Reddie fanfic}

12

The group speeds down the road on their bikes Richie standing up on his bike the seven of them still laughing about what just happened, "That women has got to hate you!" Mike laughs moving his bike from side to side, "No way a women can hate a man that-"

"Don't even finish that, Richie!" Eddie cuts him off glaring over at him Richie shrugs with a smirk, pulling to the side of the road they all park their bikes and hurry over the metal fence on the side of the road starting their walk through the small patch of woods. "Thank you, guys, for coming to get me" Eddie speaks up fidgeting with the strap of his fanny pack, "Of course Eddie we weren't just going to leave you!"

"Y-ya we're a g-group, we d-don't leave are friends"

"Plus I know you couldn't go a day without seeing me" Richie grins walking beside him, Eddie looks up at him remembering how quiet his room was and how much he hated it... "Yeah, I guess you're right; it would be to0 quiet" Eddie shrugs with a small smile, the answer makes Richie pause his mouth open to say something before closes it again turning his head to face the other way a small smile creeping on his lips as a red tint fills his cheeks. Bev notices she tried not to make her smile so obvious, but she couldn't help it, she had rarely seen Richie blush since nothing ever surprised him enough... Stanley who was walking next to Bev look's over at her confused to see a big smile plastered on her face, his eyes follow his gaze landing on Richie's face not being able to believe his eyes there was no way the Richie fucking Tozier was blushing!?

"Holy shit" Stan whispers catching Bev's attention her wide eyes looking over at him, fuck she did not just give Richie away... "What?" She asks hoping that he had just something else but of course not he was still staring right at Richie, "He is blushing!?"

"What no! Why would you think that"

"Because his face is red Bev... But what made him blush?" Stan hums looking around until his eyes widened again staring at Beverly blankly, "Do you and Richie have something going on?"

"What!? God no Stan he's my best friend that's it"

"Well then what!"

"It's not for me to say Stan... Richie will say something eventually but he's not ready"

"What kind of news could Richie even have" Stan rolls his eyes his arms now crossing, Stan had been best friends with Richie longer than him and Bev have even known each other so why does she get to know and not him! Is it because Richie thinks Stanley wouldn't care because that is not true, sure the two aren't all buddy buddy with each other like Bev was with him but still... He still cared about Richie. "Is he okay though?"

"Yeah he's okay Stan" Bev gives him a small smile, the group stops by the cliff they have spent nearly every summer at their clearing still empty so they could set their stuff down and relax, normally people didn't come here because it's supposed to be closed to the public but that didn't stop the losers. "Catch Rich!" Bev says tossing a towel over to him which he catches and lays it down on the ground placing the stereo that Bill brought on top of it, once it was set up he takes off his glasses making sure they weren't going to get stepped on or hit, he looks back over at the group seeing Bev already undressed putting her clothes into a neat pile. "Billiam avert your gaze" Richie teases him seeing his cheeks shine bright red as he looks over at Richie glaring at him "S-shut up"

Richie just smirks then starts removing his own shirt pulling it up and over his head messing up his already messy hair, "Hey" Richie nearly jumps out of his skin at the sudden voice looking next to him to see Stan stood there "Jesus' dude, are you trying to make me shit myself?"

"Sorry" He chuckles placing his clothes next to Bev's pile, Stan cast another look at Richie before letting out a sigh and walking back over to the side of the cliff where the others stood. "What was that about?" Eddie asked walking over to Richie holding his clothes as well "No clue, scared the hell out of me though" Richie snickers stealing a look at Eddie, he felt gross... "He's your best friend don't look at him like that it's just skin you weirdo..."
