"Don't Give Up Just Yet...." (Bill x Beverly)

Doesn't Feel Like We're Just Friends

         After rearranging my clothes and making sure my blush was calming down mostly. I slowly opened the door to see everyone getting ready for bed.
        Stepping out of the closet, I went to my bag and took out everything I needed. Sleeping Bag? Check. Pillow? Richie probably has one. Toothbrush? Check. Toothpaste?! Wait, check.
I watched as Bill changed his shirt. Lifting off his current one and standing there for a second. He stole a glance at me and smiled a bit. Did he know I was staring?!
I gathered my supplies again to distract myself and letting the redness go away. I feel like I am always blushing when he is in the room. It's killing me but it's also very exciting.
I went to the bathroom after telling everyone I needed to brush my teeth. Slipping in I started and the door opened. Stanley stepped inside. "Sorry, just came to brush too." I nodded and continued.
         Stanley stood there for a second, watching me. I turned and gave a confused look. "You know Bill is still taken right?" I slowly nodded. "We're worried you might get too into him again." Really guys?! Of course I know. And I was already into him before all this.
        I gave him an angered glare. "Right. I'll leave you to it." He stepped out and I rinsed out my mouth. Stepping out of the bathroom I ran right into someone but they caught me, an arm around my waist. Like some dumb cliche movie.
        I looked up to see Bill. My head got lightheaded by his touch. "Oh, uh. So, hey Bill." He just steadied me and rubbed the back of his head. "Hey." He then stepped into the bathroom, closing the door. I guess things are back to normal.
       I laid out my sleeping bag and Richie found me a pillow. "So, as much as I want to sleep down here... I don't. I'm going to my room." He glance at Eddie who nodded. What are they up to? When Richie went upstairs. Eddie patted his pants and said in a very fake voice. "Awww crap. Richie has my... inhaler. I, uh, better go get it." He got red and started heading up when Mike said something we were all thinking. "Why does Richie have your inhaler?" Eddie had his stuff and walked quicker upstairs. We all laughed at the obvious reason he was going up.
        Ben called the couch, Stanley and Mike set up (separately) in front of the couch and I was behind. Bill came out and set his sleeping bag a few feet away from me. "Is it okay if I sleep here?" He was already setting up though. I just shook my head and rolled over, away from Bill. I just couldn't look at him right now without getting flustered.
        After about 30 minutes of trying to sleep I realized everyone was asleep except me. Then arms were wrapped around my waist. "Bill!" I whispered. "Sorry B-buh- bev. Just thought, the company would be nice. For both of us." I leaned back against him a bit but something just felt wrong about this. It was rather exciting though. Maybe he was just lonely too! We both are. As friends obviously.
       Another amount of time passed, I have no idea how long, when I felt him get close to the side of my head. "Truth or d-dare?" The hot air hit my ear and traveled down my spine. "What?" I was too nervous to comprehend what was going on.
       "I'll t-take that as a d-dare. I dare you to have another r-ruh-round of 7 minutes in Heaven. With m-muh-me." He was also nervous I could tell as his stutter got worse and worse. "Bill, are you sure?" I turned to look at his face. "It's a... just a dare. Sound good?" I nodded and giggled a bit. He grabbed my hand and took me back to the closet. There was no time to waste incase the other Losers woke up. Let's just say. It was the best sleep over I've ever been to.
The next morning, I turned to find Bill and he was gone. He wasn't in my sleeping bag where he was last night. He wasn't in his sleeping bag. Now that I looked, all his stuff was gone.
It was packed up across the room and everyone was missing from the basement. I decided to head upstairs to find everyone having breakfast at a table. Audra was there too. I checked the clock to see it was 10. I guess her parents let her come back for the morning.
Audra and Bill were next to each other and the only open seat was next to Bill. I took my seat and everyone greeted me. Audra was staring at me when Bill rubbed my shoulder saying, "Hi."
Grabbing a few pancakes and putting a bunch of syrup on, I dug in. Richie kept poking Eddie with his finger that had syrup on it. Ben and Mike were making a 'Tower of Pancakes.' When Eddie wasn't being poked he tried to help Stanley with making shapes out of the food.
"You got enough-gh-gh s-s-syrup on there, Bev?" I had food in my mouth so I just nodded and smiled a bit. He continued, "I like things sweet too..." I looked back up and he winked. Audra then pulled him away and started talking to him.
Doesn't feel like we're just friends, William...

A/N: I'm sorry that this chapter is short. Not really sure what else to add. But I hope you enjoy Beverly and Bill's 'relationship.'
