MESS ➳ reddie oneshots

This is inspired by something I seen on Tumblr. Enjoy! 💕

Today was just any other ordinary day in Derry, Maine. The kids went to school, learned useless shit (in their opinions), went to the arcade or quarry when school dismissed, and just hang out.

It was currently 6:26pm and Richie Tozier was on his way to his best friend, Eddie Kaspbrak's house. If we were being honest here, Richie had a little crush on Eddie. Ok, fine, he had a ginormous crush on him. I mean, not like he could do anything about. Who could resist Eddie? With this beautiful honey brown eyes and cute little paint splatter freckles. Richie loved how he was always carrying his fanny packs with him and his cleanly ways.

Richie reached the asthmatic boy's house. He walked around to the back where Eddie's bedroom window was located and he huffed, short of breath. His hands gripped the ladder steps and he climbed up the side of Eddie's house and up to his window. This was a normal routine for him, he did this almost everyday.

Knowing Mrs. Kaspbrak wasn't home, Richie grinned and reached out his clenched fist. While knocking loudly to the tune of Cherry Pie by Warrant, he belted out the lyrics in a husky tone. The tall boy knew that Eddie hated this song. Perfect.

"She's my cherry pie
Cool drink of water such a sweet surprise
Tastes so good makes a grown man cry
Sweet Cherry Pie"

Eddie reluctantly let Richie inside, but not without a grin he tried to keep hidden, and Richie tossed his bag in after him. The clothed bag was filled to the brim with tons of junk food that Mrs. K would definitely not approve of. Not that she didn't approve of Richie at the slightest anyway.

Richie set up camp while Eddie made sure that his strict mother wasn't going to be coming home anytime soon. He pulled Eddie's blankets and sheets off his bed and tossed them onto the wooden floor, making a kind of nook for them to sit in.

The short boy walked in and sighs at the mess that Richie created in his bedroom, but Richie was over enough that Eddie has grown used to all the chaotic messes.

"Look what I made for us, Eds! Just us. With all these CD's and Pop Rocks. What else could you ever need in life, Eddie-o?"

Richie walks over to Eddie's stereo and he puts in The Cure CD. He blares the music and curls into the nook against the bed with his best friend. Richie throws a lanky arm around Eddie's shoulders as they yell over the music, telling each other their opinions on the B-52's and their fashion choices.

The Pop Rocks! Richie almost forgot! He grabs the box and pulls out a packet, ripping it open and tosses his head back and pours the whole pack of miniature candies through his lips. He shoves his open mouth against Eddie's ear so he hears the satisfying popping noise, and he shoved him away while Richie laughs his ass off.

"You are actually so gross!"

"But wasn't that cool?"

Eddie shrugs.

"C'mon! You should try 'em," Richie suggests. The smaller boy shakes his head. "C'moonnn Eds! Just this once? Pleeeaase?"

Eddie gives up and snatches the sachet of Pop Rocks from his friend and shakes them into his mouth. He immediately regrets his decision and literally spits them all out on floor, frantically wiping his tongue off.

"Gross!" Eddie exclaims, still trying to recover from his 'horrific' experience.

Richie spills another pack of Pop Rocks into his mouth, then he begins shaking his head from side to side vigorously, his black curls moving wildly.

"Eds," Richie manages to say, a smile forming on his mouth full with Pop Rocks. "If you didn't like those, you really aren't going to like this."

"I swear to God, Ri-"

He leans over and places his lips on Eddie's, kissing him, Pop Rocks and all.

They felt fireworks. And heard them too, or was that just the popping candy? It didn't matter, it was the best feeling for both of them. It to Richie, it came before tickling his pickle. (😉😉)

Richie is honestly surprised when Eddie didn't bat him away by slapping at his arms and shoulders, so he manages to swallow the sugary lump of pop rocks and kiss Eddie for real.
