Summer 1989//A Reddie Fanfic

Chapter 2

"I didn't mean to lean in, Eds." Richie apologized. Eddie patted Richie's back and talked with a mouthful of crackers. "It's fine."

Richie decided to go and hang out with the other losers. Eddie put up the graham crackers and watched Richie exit his house. He sighed, now feeling lonely without him by his side.

Richie approached Bill's house, everyone except Mike (and Eddie of course) weren't there. He bursted through the front door screaming,"WHATS UP F*CKERS!?"

Bill shook his head in disappointment, Beverly, Ben, and Stan laughed about it. Bev winked at Richie jokingly. "Soooo.. Where've you been?" Richie fidgeted with his fingertips. "Eddie's." Bill noticed how Richie was fidgeting. He never done that. Bill spoke up "S-something wrong, R-R-Ri-Richie?" The trash mouth looked up at Bill, beginning to blush a little.

Beverly held back her laughter, she knew his secret. "Oooooo!" Stan laughed. Ben stared in confusion . Richie spoke up, seeing everyone confused and Beverly about to burst into laughter. "I have a crush on Eddie guys." Bill's eyes got wide. Ben's mouth hung open. Stan stopped teasing and stared blankly at Richie. "Wait are you being serious?" Stan asked, slightly terrified because Richie never acted this way. He nodded with a disappointed expression. Stan managed to get out two words,"Holy shit."

Eddie wondered all day what Richie was doing with the losers. A knock was at his door, and he slowly got up to answer it. It was Mike Hanlon! "Mike!" Eddie said, happy to see someone after feeling lonely by himself. Mike smiled "Hey, Edward!" He messed up Eddie's hair while laughing. Eddie chuckled himself and looked at Mike. "Want to come in?" He asked. Mike accepted. "Sure. I also have to tell you something." Eddie got slightly nervous when Mike said that, because Mike's expression looked serious.
