"merry christmas guys" mike saluted his friends as he got up from the booth from harvest. "i better head back home"

"yeah it is getting late" bev glanced at her watch. "ben and I promised to be home early so we could help his family decorate the tree"

"ah god how corny" stan scrunched his nose.

"suh-so we're not going to duh-decorate muh-my tree?" bill's eyes widened as he looked at his side to stan, who chuckled a bit. "no, no, no, bill, that's not what I meant. of course i'm gonna decorate a tree with you. it's just that those two are really fucking corny"

"shove it, stanley" bev glared at the peanut hue.

"anyway, have a fun holiday" mike grinned before walking out of the diner into the chilly air.

"yeah, talking about it...we should go too" ben nodded and him and bev slid out of the booth. "see ya"

the four boys left on the booth waved at them, until it was just stan, bill, richie and eddie.

"alright. what's going on between you two?" eddie asked as soon as ben and bev were out of sight.

"what do you mean?" stan lifted a brow. "what's going on with you two?"

"I asked first" eddie squinted his eyes.

"nothing's going on" bill said to eddie, who groaned. richie smirked and placed his hand on eddie's thigh under the table. the smaller boy tensed up, leaning back a bit.

"if this is about the tree, that's totally normal" stan said and sipped the rest from his milkshake. "everyone can decorate a christmas tree together"

"I bet you two are fuckin'" richie said bluntly, making stan choke and bill cover his mouth and look away.

"aren't y-you gonna buh-beep him, eddie?" bill lifted a brow at eddie, who shook his head. "not when I agree with him"

richie smirked and tilted his head at stan and bill, who were blushed red.

"well? are we hearing truths or what?"

"not" stan said and began pushing bill out of the booth. "there's nothing to tell. we need to go decorate that tree which spells friendship"

"stop friendzoning bill, jeez stanley" richie let out a breathy laugh. "I bet bill feels kinds awkward when you call it a friendship when you two are screwing behind closed doors."

"okay, we're leaving" stan got up and waited for bill to stand next to him. "have a nice holiday"

"more like holigay" richie whispered into eddie's ear, making the other laugh unexpectedly loud.

stan only rolled his eyes before walking out of the diner with bill.

now it was just richie and eddie. the taller boy's hand was still on eddie's thigh, sending comforting, yet tensed up signals up eddie's body.
