❝Eddie, fucking two-left-feet, Kaspbrak!❞
❝Oh, shut up and twirl me, Tozier.❞

IN OTHER WORDS, Richie Tozier and Eddie Kaspbrak were just like any other pair of best friends; they hung out all the time, made each other laugh — cry — blush, slept over at each other's, shared lunches, gave cute and well thought out gifts, and were massively, stupidly, unbeknownst to themselves, crushing on one another. Except for the last part, that is not a characterised best friend trait.
High School hit the Loser's Club like a ton of breaks which wrought havoc on their summer bonded friendship ties. Eddie and Richie liked to think themselves the final members of their beloved club, but their ( richie's ) acceptance as "normal" by corridor peers, regarded them otherwise. Years in, as the pair approached their final year, Richie and Eddie had surely matured from their clown hunting — mom joking — quarry jumping — derry biking days.
Richie grew taller, filled in his spindly arms, and amassed a female following. Eddie did not find the same luck in life. As he watched Richie's transformation from boy, to man, he couldn't help but be jealous with how his arms and legs stayed gangly, how his voice never quite dropped, and that he never managed to grow taller than Richie's chin. But if there was one that defiantly grew ten times bigger within him, was the adoration he felt for the raven haired boy every time he walked by, or made Eddie buckle over in tears of laughter, or even when he just held him right after a fight with his parents.
Because suddenly, Eddie didn't know why his heart sped up when Richie entered the room, or why his palms filled with clammy sweat, or why he could never quite ever manage a full sentence when Richie took his shirt off. It's normal for all best friends to feel this way, right?
