Lovely Loser (Richie Tozier X Reader)

Noticed

Richie smiled as he said your old nickname. You looked up at him. You tried not to smile but you couldn't help it. He smiled his toothy smile as well. "I missed you." He calmly said. You stared at him. Your hoodie head fell off and your face was revealed. His smile grew bigger. You quickly pulled up your hoodie and sighed.

"I didn't miss you." You mumbled. Richie slowly shook his head.

"You missed me. Don't lie." He nudged you slightly. You felt your cheeks heat up.

"Okay, maybe I missed you a little bit." You looked up at Richie as he took your hoodie off. He set his hands on your shoulders. The two of you stared into one-another's eyes. Your cheeks started heating up more. Before you knew it your face was red as a tomato. Richie's face started turning red as well.

"Well shit." Richie mumbled. He stared at his feet as his hands were still on your shoulders. You chuckled slightly.

"Someone's got a crush." You said playfully. Richie looked up at you and rolled his eyes.

"Seems as if you got one too." He let go of your shoulders and laughed. You rolled your eyes and sighed.

"Well I have to go home." You said as you walked over to your bike. Richie grabbed your shoulder and pulled you away from your bike. "I swear to god Trashmouth." You growled as you stood in front of Richie.

"I'm walking you home." he said grabbing you and holding you in the air. A smile spread across your face. Richie set you down and started walking to your house.

"What about our bikes?" You asked as you sprinted next to Richie.

"We're gonna walk to school tomorrow." Richie smirked as he spoke. You rolled your as and elbowed Richie who chuckled. After awhile of silence you decided to break it.

"I'm sorry." You sighed as you spoke. Richie looked over at you than at his feet.

"I'm sorry too." Richie said.

"Why are you sorry?" You questioned as you stared at your feet.

"The way I treated you a month ago. I was a shithead." He sighed.

"You got that right." You smiled as you looked over at Richie. Richie looked at you and smiled.

"Why are you sorry?" Richie asked as he stared forward.

"I- I don't know. I've just been feeling bad lately. I feel like ignoring you guys made you all hate me. I'm sorry." You sighed when you felt someone's hand grab your hand. You looked over to see Richie. You're face turned very red. "God dammit Tozier." You squeezed his hand as you spoke. Richie smiled and blew a raspberry at you. You did the same thing and the two of you started laughing. You two walked to your house, hands interlocked. As you reached your house you walked up to your porch and almost opened the door. But before you walked in your house someone tapped your shoulder. Before you spoke to the person they kissed you on the cheek. Your face heated up instantly and you saw Richie speed-walking away.

"Bye m'lady!" He waved at you. His face as red as a strawberry. Or cherry. Or apple. Or tomato. Or...

Richie's POV

I was sweating as I walked. I just kissed (Y/N) on the cheek. Shit. She didn't say we were a thing, but were we? I mean, we did hold hands on the way to her house. Than I made my move and kissed her on the cheek. It took a whole lot of confidence to do that. I speed-walked home and dialed Bill's number on my phone. "H-Hey." Bill said on the other line.

"Bill! I have to tell you something." I excitedly said. God I'm such a fucking dork.

"Did (Y-Y/N) k-kick your a-ass?" Bill asked. I scoffed.

"No, actually I held her and and kissed her on the cheek." I confidently said. Bill was speechless on the other end.

"A-are you s-serious?" Bill surprisingly asked.

"Yes I'm fucking serious!" I raised my voice as I spoke. I heard Bill clapping on the other end of the line.

"I-I'm proud of y-you Tr-Trashmouth." Bill said happily. I was happy too. "So are y-you and (Y-Y/N) a-a thing?" Bill managed to stutter out.

"I honestly don't know. I think so but I don't know." I sighed.

"How d-do you n-not know?" Bill raised his voice on the other end of the phone.

"We didn't say we were a thing! It just, kind of happened." I said.

"Okay okay. Don't g-go raping her, g-got it R-Rich?" Bill sarcastically asked on the other end of the phone. I could tell by the tone in his voice that he was smirking.

"No promises." I sang through the phone. I heard Bill gag and pretend to throw up. The two of us ended up laughing about that. After that call I heard a knock on my door. I opened it to see Eddie. "Hey Eddie Spaghetti!" I waved at Eddie.

"Hey Trashmouth." Eddie said.

"Whatcha doing here?" I asked as Eddie walked into the house.

"I have some questions for you." Eddie said as he took a seat on my couch. I sat next to him.

"Ask away."

"Are you dating (Y/N)?" He elbowed me as he spoke. A smirk was on his face. I stared at him in disbelief. How the fuck did he know? Bill and I got off the phone a minute ago.

"Why do you think that?" I questioned.

"I was biking to the grocery store, when I saw you and (Y/N) holding hands." Eddie laughed.

"I don't know if her and I are a thing. It just kind of happened." I sighed. Eddie looked at me.

"She's gonna be bullied." Eddie pointed out.

"How?" I asked.

"If the kids at school found out you and here held hands people are gonna think you raped her." Eddie smiled kind of. I looked at my feet.

"Shit you're right Eds." I looked at Eddie. Eddie shrugged.

"I was just kidding." He stood up.

"But what if that actually happens? People think I'm a fucking pervert! It's going to be all my fault she's going to get bullied!" I started panicking. Shit what if she did get bullied? It would be all my fault...
