"We've got a new class member joining us this year." Richie heard the teacher say as class started. Richie immediately began tuning her out, doodling on his paper and passing inappropriate notes to Stan. Stan rolled his eyes, crumpling them up and throwing them at the curly haired boy when he wasn't looking.

"I envy the new kid." Stan wrote back to Richie eventually.

"Why?" Richie wrote back.

"He won't have to hear you."

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

"Aren't you listening? Mrs. A just said the new kid was deaf."

Before Richie could write back, his teacher came back in the room with another boy. Richie's heart stopped when he saw him. The boy was small, with neat brown hair, shorts and for some reason, a fanny pack. He had tube socks on too, and Richie couldn't help but stare at who was possibly the cutest boy he'd ever seen. In his mind, he was trying to figure out too many things at once. How to talk to this kid, how to introduce himself, how to flirt with someone. He didn't notice that the boy had started walking towards him.

"Richie." Stan whispered, and Richie snapped out of it, realizing the boy had moved to the back of the classroom, and was motioning towards the empty seat next to Richie.

"Yeah of course-" Richie said, then winced, realizing he couldn't hear, and nodded quickly instead, pulling the seat out for him. The smaller boy sat down, his features even cuter up close. His brown eyes darted around each corner of the room nervously. Richie could understand, he couldn't imagine not being able to hear. He was already scared of kids whispering about him. With the new kid, they could yell about him and he wouldn't know. But instead, everyone just watched him, so he did know.

Richie watched as the boy slowly wrote his name on the paper. Eddie Kaspbrak. Then he reached over, possibly making the biggest mistake of his life and wrote on the corner of Eddie's paper.

'I'm Richie.'

Eddie looked up in surprise and Richie smiled at him, watching as Eddie wrote back.

'Hi :)'

'So you're new to Derry? You know anyone yet?' 

'Only my translator, Bill Denbrough'

'Oh Bill's one of my best friends!' Richie grinned at Eddie, who he saw was already smiling and blushing softly. 'He's dating Stanley' Richie continued writing and pointed at Stan.

'He's gay?' Eddie wrote back, knitting his eyebrows.

'Yeah like half our club is gay' Richie chuckled, smiling as he heard Eddie chuckle breathily.

Eddie hesitated before writing again, wanting to ask if Richie was gay, but instead wrote a smiley face.

'Wanna hang out with us after school?'

'I have to ask my mom...'

'Alright, well let me or Bill know'

'Will do. Thanks Richie'

'No problem Eds'

'Don't call me that :)'
