More than friends {Reddie fanfic}

End

Growing up... the concept seemed to foreign to the loser's club, for years they had been the group of seven weird kids that everyone hated for their own reasons.. Maybe for being loud, or for being over weight or maybe even for the skin color you were born with but for the seven of them that shit didn't matter. None of them cared about what the other's in Darry had to say about them, the whispers that could heard around the streets as they drove by.. 

"Those kids will go no where in life.."

"Their poor parent's.."

"Those children cannot be normal.."

or maybe the list of names that a certain blonde haired boy and his dumbass friends would shout as they passed.. Wheezy, Faggot, Whore, Flammer, Lard ass, Pansy.. No matter times kids shouted and picked they just didn't care because as people tried their hardest to seem cool and fit in with the "Cool" people the loser's had each other, the seven of them had each other no matter what they would always have each other.. At the end of that eventful summer they had made a promise to each other, "Even after w-we leave D-Darry, the loser's c-club wont dr-drift apart" Bill said holding a broken piece of glass in the his hand his eyes darting around at the group.. That day the seven of them promised to make it through anything together, that they would never let anything drift them apart.. So through senior year their friendship had stayed strong, spending every moment they could together staying their normal bickering bunch even as changes formed like Ben and Bev finally admitting that they did have feeling's for each other so yet another relationship formed within the group, and as far as relationships went.. Eddie and Richie had been doing pretty good if you ignore the break up they had for a few weeks during October but other then that they two stayed the same, after months of keeping it hidden within the walls of their shitty school the two boys just grew tired of constantly having to hide their relationship so they stopped.. They started walking down the halls holding hands or giving each other quick kisses before splitting up going to their classes, it took Eddie a bit more time to get used to the changes compared to Richie he felt bad for being scared because he really did love Richie.. He meant it the first day he said it, but after weeks of fearing about someone attacking him he started to realize that maybe nobody cared as much as much as he thought. Yeah the two got weird dirty looks as they walked down the halls hand in hand and the names that they would hear whispered as they passed but they had been used to that since the fifth grade so it really hadn't changed as much as Eddie feared so the anxious feeling he had started to wear away letting him relax and enjoy his relationship.

But the day had come.. No matter how much they wished they could stay a teenager forever and enjoy the fun warm summer's without having a care in the world, but those were just dreams.. Stupid childhood dreams, Graduation day had finally arrived.. Richie stood out leaning against the brick wall watching the school staff preparing the seats for the parents to sit on out side since the school had a large enough lawn, inside all the senior students were inside the large cafeteria looking over the rolls of gowns hung up each with a matching cap. Eddie was looking through the rows trying to find his name "Hey Eddie yours is over here!" Ben calls out pointing over to a rack a few feet away from his the row labeled K, the room was large so the six of them were spread out "Have you seen Richie? He need's to come grab his" Eddie shakes his head hating that his boyfriend left everything to the last minute "I saw him outside last" Bev appears next to Eddie making him jump letting out a small yelp "Jesus! Don't sneak up in me like that Bev you're gonna kill me before I even get to graduate!"

"Sorry" she says with a small chuckle holding the plastic cover that was protecting her gown from getting anything one it while she held the hat in her other hand "does it suit me?" she smirks placing the blue hat on top of her head striking a pose making Eddie laugh "Oh for sure"
