More than friends {Reddie fanfic}

23

They were on the road for a few more minutes until Richie pulled into the parking lot of the first fast food place they have seen for the past ten minutes, Eddie slides out his feet hitting the ground while he let out a sigh watching the other's pile out of the van "Bill I swear you were sitting on me!" Mike says "I w-would never!" he says with a dramatic huff making a few of them laugh while they start walking into the building Richie holding the door for everyone.

"Wow what a gentleman" Eddie teases being the last one of the seven to walk in making Richie roll his eyes following behind him "I'm always a gentlemen Ed's" He stated making Eddie give him a glance but he says nothing, the two meet up with the group Eddie giving Bev his order so he could sit down. He let's out a small groan god he hated fast food places it always felt gross and sitting down on the chairs was even worse, the second he was sat down he was digging through his fanny pack pulling out the travel size bottle of hand sanitizer he always had with him squeezing a small amount on his hands before aggressively rubbing them together "H-hey Eddie" Bill says sitting down in the sit in front of him "Hey" Eddie replies looking over his shoulder at the rest of the group Richie leaning against the wall talking to Mike about something while they waited for the other's to be done.. The thought's he had been trying to push back this trip were starting to become much louder and even harder to push down, this wasn't normal.. What he felt couldn't be normal.. He couldn't like boys god that would mean he was sick or something, people would want him dead the minute the word gay would even leave his lips not even thinking about how dating a boy would be like in their shitty town of Darry.. "E-everything okay?" Bill ask making Eddie jump slightly whipping his head back over to look at his friend "Yeah sorry just a bit tired"

"M-me too, I can't wait to just e-eat a-and pass o-out" Bill chuckles making Eddie smile too "That sounds like heaven right there" the two share a look before laughing, since the loser's club got bigger now being seven people when it only used to be four Bill and Eddie didn't get much time to be the original duo they started out as. Not that Eddie hated the other being here he loved the loser's but the two had forgotten what their friendship used to be like, "Hey you two!" Bev's cheery voice break their laughing fit the two looking up at her seeing the rest of the boys followed behind her. The table quickly fills up Mike having to pull up an extra chair to sit on the End while Eddie sat closest to the window looking over at his large group of friends Richie sat next to him before anyone could even think about it, he hoped the other's didn't notice how fast he dropped into the seat next to him but even if they did they would mostly likely think it was to annoy him. The group starts talking and laughing with each other while Eddie look's out the window seeing the sun starting to set he let's out a content hum popping one of Richie's fries into his mouth without him noticing, "So w-what's the sleeping a-arrangement t-tonight?" Bill ask looking over at Beverly since she had been the one with the map and the one who had been planning everything so far "Well I actually had an idea.. That I know one of you won't like" she says her green eyes landing on Eddie making the rest of them look over at him as he sips on his water "Huh?" he stares at her confused watching as she pulls out the small map pointing to one of the sites labeled camp site, "You want me to camp?" Eddie huff's making Bev give him a sweet smile "Aw come on Ed's it'll be fun"

"First off it's Eddie, second.. No fucking way will sleeping in the fucking wood's will be fun!"

"Y-you could sleep in the v-van" Bill speaks up sparking the idea into Beverly she instantly perks up, "Yeah true! Sleep in the van, it's comfortable enough"

"Fine" He shrugs making the group stare at him, all of them had expected more of a fight from the normally very anger teen but instead he just takes another sip of water sliding out of his seat "Be right back" He says before walking off the six of them watching him leave towards the bathroom "There's something wrong with him" Stanley says making Richie glare at him "Rude much?"
