"Okay, fuck. EW," Eddie Kaspbrack yelled causing an echo through the barrens.

Richie Tozier laughed at Eddie's comment but continued to venture further into the sewers.

"Okay ya big baby have fun. Outside. Aloneee." Richie said raising an eyebrow trying to get Eddie to come into the barrens with him.

Eddie stomped his feet groaning causing Richie to laugh and roll his eyes.

"Can't we just-?"

"No, we can not invite Stan, or Bill, or, Beverly, Ben, OR Mike. It's just us two and I'm gonna get you to come in here with me," Richie commented.

Richie had been trying to get Eddie to join him in the mess of the sewers for the longest time. Usually Stan or Mike were there always staying with Eddie while Richie and the rest of the losers went exploring.

Now it was just Eddie and Richie and Richie knew that he couldn't keep Eddie out from the murky, gray, shitty water. Which now that he though of it, maybe he should even be in this so called 'gray water'.

Eddie look at Richie in pure disgust, wondering how the hell he could step foot in that water without gagging.

Eddie grabbed out his inhaler from his Fanny pack and pulled the trigger. Richie heard the noise of his medicine and rolled his eyes.

"Yes, okay cool now that you've taken your bullshit medicine are you ready?"

"No. Richie I told you I will NOT go in there," Eddie said aggressively, pointing into the sewers dramatically.

"Okay, Eddie," Richie said. Richie moved towards the entrance where Eddie was. Richie tiptoed over to him, because although he didn't mind the barrens, it was still really fucking gross.

Eddie stood there like a pissed off mother. His arms were crossed, bitch face in action & was tapping his right foot, waiting impatiently for Richie's attempt to persuade Eddie.

"God, you look like your mother," Richie said laughing at Eddie's stance, Eddie just rolled his eyes.

Richie continued tiptoeing until he got to where Eddie was standing. Richie let out a sigh of relief and put the heels of his feet back on the ground.

"Okay, cmon you cant get ou-" Richie started but Eddie put his hand up and quickly shut Richie up.

"No no NO, Richie," Eddie started putting his hand down to his side.

"YOU were even grossed out and careful not to get TOO dirty in that muck water. So, what makes you think I'm even gonna step my pinky toe in there. Funny. Really Rich good job,"

Richie looked at Eddie trying not to crack a smile, it always made Richie smile when Eddie went off on his rants about germs and dirty stuff.

Richie eventually smiled a bit causing Eddie to crack a smile too. Before then they were both cracking up. Between laughs Richie commented, "why are—we laughing— again?"

"Jesus— I don't know but I do—know that I am not—going into that water," Eddie commented still laughing his ass off, pointing to the surrounding water.

Richie just sighed and rolled his eyes, trying to calm down a bit.

Once they finished laughing they kind of just looked at each other with huge smiles on their faces.

Eddie hated when they did that, and it happened hella often. Not because he didn't like looking at Richie. It's because he did like looking at Richie. I mean, how could he not?

That was the problem, he couldn't think about it too much. It being him. And his sexuality. Eddie had thought about that too much already, laying down thinking about it in the middle of the night. I mean there was no way he could be gay. Right? Wrong. Wrong? Right. Fucking hell Eddie what are you doing?

Eddie was snapped out of his thoughts but Richie breaking the silence.

"Okay listen Ed's," Richie started.

"No I shall not do such a thing until you stop calling me 'Ed's'"

Richie laughed at Eddies correction but continued talking.

"Okay listen Eddie, I won't make you come into the barrens just yet but I want you to go in that hell of a place someday. With me. Deal?" Richie said raising an eyebrow.

"See we say that every time you try to convince to go in there and fail miserably," Eddie laughed causing a laugh from Richie too.

"Okay. Baby steps, ummm how about you... god spaghetti I don't know!" Throwing his hands up.

"How about never ever going into that digesting shit place. Like ever," Eddie commented laughing.

"Good grief. Fine. Off to the quarry we goooo," Richie said putting his fist in the air and using his free hand to grab eddies and run off towards the area.

Eddie furrowed his brows but took by Richies lead, not that he had much of a choice because Richie was more or so dragging him anyways.

Richie stopped in his tracks, surprising Eddie a bit causing him to bump into Richie.

Richie turned towards Eddie and put the hands they were holding in the air.

"No homo tho," Richie commented before turning back around and taking off again, still hand and hand with Eddie.

Eddie threw his back laughing as he was continually

dragged to the quarry by Richie.
