Lovely Loser (Richie Tozier X Reader)

Clapping

Richie's POV

I smiled at (Y/N). Greta and (Y/N) had just had a comeback war and Greta got her ass kicked real bad. It was pretty funny if I do say so myself. Worth my time might I add. I had just complemented her and she was looking at me like a just killed someone. I can assure you I didn't. "Oh uh," (Y/N) finally said. I looked at her, still holding the ice-pack to my face. "Th-Thanks! I did learn from the best." She elbowed me and smiled awkwardly.

"I didn't tell the teachers you punched me," I said. She chuckled and set her hand on my shoulder.

"You really should've told them, I made a mistake." She said looking at her feet. I crossed my arms and shook my head slowly.

"Sure you made a mistake by punching the hottest kid in school, but we all make mistakes." I said, making (Y/N) laugh. She's. So. Fucking. Cute. Dammit.

"How am I going to live with that?" (Y/N) asked sarcastically. She put her hand son her cheeks and opened her mouth. I smirked and glared at her. We were being friends again! I think. I hope so.

"You're going to have to live with that on your conscience." I tapped my foot on the ground. (Y/N) lightly punched me in the arm and her smile grew bigger. Than we just sat there in silence for a few seconds which felt like years.

"I'm really sorry though. I just jealous and thought you liked Greta more than me. I thought that if I 'acted' like Greta and punched you, you'd realize that Greta is a bitch." (Y/N) explained. She seemed to be struggling with her words. I understood what she meant. "I mean that Greta is completely out of your league." She closed her eyes and spoke quickly. I felt a chuckle rise in my throat and let it out.

"I know she's out of my league, but you're out of my league, so it's kind of a weird triangle." I said shrugging. (Y/N) nodded and hugged me. I froze and I was obviously blushing. Than we heard clapping.

"Aww look at them." A familiar voice said. Eds. (Y/N) stopped hugging me and looked over to see where the clapping was coming from. It was the Losers.

"F-Fuck you Eddie!" (Y/N) glared at him as she spoke. Bill whistled and continued clapping. (Y/N) and I stood side by side. Our faces red as Clifford the Big Red Dog. (Y/N) and I stood there in silence.

"You guys are complete assholes." I finally said, breaking the awkward silence. The Losers didn't take any offense to that and just snickered.

"Richie and (Y/N) sitting in a tree," Stan started to sing. My eyes widened and felt my heart speed up. Fuck.

"K. I. S. S. I. N. G." Eddie continued. (Y/N) put on of her hands up and stuck up her middle finger.

"First c-comes love," Bill than joined in. (Y/N) put up her other hand and stuck up her other middle finger. Therefore, both of her hands were up and she was flicking them off. I chuckled as I saw her doing that.

"Second comes marriage," Ben joined them. Ben! He's the nicest person ever. But I can understand where he's coming from. I than joined (Y/N) in doing double middle fingers. The Losers just laughed.

"Great clapping assholes," (Y/N) said. "Do you know how to do anything else?" She tilted her head and smirked. I felt a smile grow on my face and quietly laughed.

The Losers clapping slowed down and looked at each other, than they looked at me. "Is she back?" Stan asked. I looked at (Y/N) who stopped holding up her middle fingers and did a thumbs up this time. I nodded slowly and crossed my arms.

"Yes, yes she is."
