They all sit down on a round table Eddie and Richie leaving a space between them just incase Stan shows.
They all order different types of alcoholic drinks except from Mike because he's driving but god do they deserve to have alcohol and have fun together after not seeing each other in 27 years, so Richie gets a shot to loosing himself up and he does a blowjob shot, trying to hint to Eddie that he's into men without making it too obvious.
They have been talking to each other for a couple of minutes now but to be honest Richie has been zoning out because it's so surreal to him that all of his real friends are together until he's brought out of his trance when Eddie says
"Yeah I got married".
Yeah I got married.
I.got.married .
Married.
Fuck, so not only is Eddie not into men he is also married so Richie quite literally has zero chance of being with Eddie, wait Eddie has never actually said he was married to a woman.
"Sweet, Eddie you got married" Richie says just confirming the terrible truth but he had to play it off so he is smiling at Eddie like he isn't thinking of jumping off of a cliff right now.
"Yeah, why is it so fucking funny, dickwad" Eddie says still with that pissed off face and attitude, richie wonders if Eddie realises that he has an attitude or if that's just him being normal.
"What, to like a woman" Richie says and his face drops he stops laughing and starts looking more serious.
"Fuck you bro" wow so he didn't say he is married to a woman but only straight guys call their friends their bros.
"Fuck youuu" richie says.
"What about you trashmouth, you married" bill says while stuffing his mouth with food.
"There is no wayyyy, Richie's married" Beverly says really dragging and the way.
"No i got married" Richie says kind of offended like is he really that unlovable.
"Richie I don't believe it" Beverly says and he knows that she's joking but deep down he does feel like he will never get married because why would anyone want to.
"When?" Eddie asked looking genuinely curious.
"You don't know that I got married?" Richie says.
"No" Eddie says he kind of looks upset, but why would he be upset if he's got a wife.
"Yeah me and your mom are really happy" Richie says while laughing.
"Fuck you"Eddie says still pissed off.
"Yeah I knew Trashmouth wouldn't be married" Beverly says.
"Yeah cause no woman would want to be with a man that acts like a child" Eddie says while crossing his arms.
"Really because I had a girlfriend and I have two children with her" Richie says with a big grin on his face because he just proved Eddie wrong.
"WHATTTT, Richie trashmouth tozier has kids plural" bill said genuinely shocked.
"Yeah, is it that unbelievable".Richie says now very hurt that they don't think he could be a dad, I mean what if they think that he isn't a suitable father figure?.
"No of course not rich" Ben says.
"So what's their names and ages" Mike said smiling at him.
"So my oldest is four years old and her name is Brooklyn and my youngest is called fluffy and she's one".
"I'm sorry, you named your child fucking fluffy" Eddie says with nothing but shock in his eyes.
"No my daughter named her that" Richie says now trying to hide his laugh.
"You let a child pick out a human name are you insane" Eddie says now really pissed off.
"Right okay Eddie maybe calm down, it's probably a joke, can we see a picture of them rich" Mike said.
"Yeah sure" and Richie pulls out his phone and shows them a recent picture of them.
"Oh, you could've said that that fluffy was a cat so I wouldn't think that you are a total idiot that is so far from help"Eddie says while rolling his eyes.
"Well fluffy is my daughter, I never said she was a human by the way you guys just assumed" Richie says with a slight grin on his face.
"Well I for one think that they are both very beautiful and would like to meet them one day" Beverly said.
"Yeah of course I'll have all of your losers up at some point when we all aren't busy.
"Right okay, i propose a toast to the losers"Beverly says while holding up her beer and everyone clinks their glasses together.
Then Eddie asked to do an arm wrestling match then he hears Eddie say "let's take our shirts off and kiss" well let's just say Richie will not say no to a kiss from Eddie but he knows that eddies probably doing it to detract Richie but Richie still wins and for what it's worth it feels good and normal and nothing can ruin this moment or can it?.
