Summer Weather| Richie Tozier | Short One-Shot

this is an AU where Pennywise was never there, yet the OG losers met Mike, Ben, and Bev.
~
It was a hot summers day. Sun was blazing, people weren't going outside, and ice cream was melting faster than you can blink.

"Oh, sweet chili peppers." You started. "Who's idea was this? It's literally so hot outside. I'm sweating just standing here!" You complained to Richie.

The two of you were heading to the quarry together.

"Well, Sorry toots. It might be extra hot in here because of me." He said. You rolled your eyes. "Richie, please. I don't even like you."

He raised his brows as he looked at you. "You sure?~"

"Dead-ass."

"Chicken Fight!!"

You climbed on top of Richie's shoulders as Bev climbed onto Bill's.

"You're going down, red!"

Beverly laughed. "Oh, please."

The four of you began to fight before you fell off of Richie's shoulders. You swam up to the surface and groaned. "Dammit." You muttered as you crossed your arms and sat on a rock.

You felt someone next to you poke your arm.

"Hey, madam. No need to feel down!" He smiled at you. You glanced over to Richie. "Uh Huh. So, you don't care that we lost?" He sat next to you as he shook his head.

"(Y/n), babe. You're so competitive! Take a chill pill!.." He nudged your arm with his. You gave out a small laugh. "Alright, Alright. Fine."

He gave you a wink before swimming over to Eddie.

"And don't call me babe!!" You exclaimed. Richie laughed. "You know you love it!" You gagged. "As if!"

You snorted before glancing over at Stanley. Stan had a slight smirk on his face while he looked at you. You questioned, raising a brow, but before you could say anything he turned away.

As you and Beverly were laying down on clean, fresh towels. Richie couldn't help but look at you.

How peaceful and calm you were, how your skin glowed in the hot, summer sun. It wasn't a secret that he liked you. It was pretty obvious actually.

You know he likes you and he knows that you know.

Beverly and Stan were the only people that know you return the feelings. Granted, you never told them, but the signs were there.

Stan whispered something to Richie. You noticed and turned your head towards them. Richie hopped off from his rock and went somewhere.

You were curious as to where he went but shrugged it off. It was until Stan went over to Beverly and whispered something to her also.

She nodded slightly as Stan walked back to the boys. Beverly turned on her side and bent her arm, resting on her palm.

"(Y/n)!..." she whispered.

You laid still, ignoring her.

"(Y/n)!" she exclaimed slightly. You didn't respond to her so she poked your side. You left out a small laugh. "What, Bev? What?"

She put her sunglasses on the top of her head and wiggled her brows. "Richie's waiting for you over there." she pointed past the rocks.

You sighed, sitting up. "Okay, okay. I'm going." You stood up completely and made way towards him.

Richie was there, nervously fidgeting with his hands. You stood in front of him and smiled. "Sup, Glasses. What's up?" Richie adjusted his glasses nervously before cupping your face and kissing you.

The kiss was soft but passionate.

You kinda stood there with wide eyes before closing your eyes and kissing back, cupping his face as well.

Richie then pulled away with pink cheeks and gave you a wink. "You know you love me."

"Yeah, Okay. You caught me."
