Really? // Stenbrough

Chapter 8

Bill's PoV

I was...anxious to go to the lake with Stan along. I mean, this morning was a disaster. How am I gonna spend almost a whole day with Stan, while he's shirtless.

It's not gonna end well. I already know.

I believed Stan when he told me he didn't hate me. I could tell because of his eyes. They were telling the truth. But I still want to know why he said he hated me, if he doesn't.

The lake was only about a 5 minute walk from our cabins so we arrived quickly. There was nobody there. It is pretty early. We put our stuff down and took off our shirts.

We we're all about to jump in when Richie picked Eddie up, causing the small boy to squeal.

"Put me down!"

"Ok."

Richie threw Eddie into the lake before jumping in after. Eddie surfaced and immediately started splashing Richie.

"You fucking idiot! I hate you." He yelled at Richie.

Richie just laughed and pulled his boyfriend into his arms and smiled.

"Aww. You know you love me Eds."

And just like that, Eddie wasn't mad anymore. It amazes me what those two can do to each other.

"I know." Eddie said before kissing Richie.

I then jumped in, disrupting their kiss. I surfaced to meet their playfully angry faces.

"Get a room." I said.

"You're just jealous cause you aren't getting any action." Richie said.

I rolled my eyes.

The water was refreshingly cold. It was the perfect temperature. Everyone else jumped in and I luckily didn't have to see Stan's abs.

We played around for awhile, just doing stupid and random water games. We decided to get out because 1, we were hungry and 2, we were all wrinkly.

We quickly dried off and walked back to the mess hall to eat. And boy, did we eat a lot. After we finished eating we decided to go shower and change before going to Richie and Eddie's cabin.

Stan let me shower first and I remembered to bring clothes with me. Cause if I had to go out and get clothes, I'd be a mess. I showered fast and changed into a blue t-shirt and some jean shorts.

Stan showered, for the second time today, and came out wearing basketball shorts and a white tee. Holy shit. The white tee showed off his muscles. Look away, look away.

"Like what you see?" Stan asked smirking.

A blush crept onto my face and I glared at him.

"I may be gay but I wouldn't ever like you." I spat.

Why the hell did I just say that? Ugh. I honestly make the stupidest decisions.

"Oh." He said. His smirk fell and he looked down. "I guess we should go." He mumbled.

He walked out the door with his head down and I silently followed.

Argh. We we're actually getting along and I went and ruined it. With a lie! I do like him. Fuck my life.

But why does he seem so upset about what I said. It's not like he's gay. Boys confuse me.

We walked into Richie and Eddie's cabin and Stan sadly sat down against the farthest wall away from me.

Richie eyed us before going to sit down next to Stan. They whispered a conversation and would occasionally glance over at me. What are they saying?

The rest of the group came and Beverly suggested we play truth or dare. We all agreed. But I was regretting the decision once I saw the smirk on Richie's face as he playfully looked at me, and then at Stan, and then back at me. I shook my head at him but he just nodded.

"Truth." Stan said.

"Is it true you're gay?" Richie asked.

Hold up. What? Stan gay? Ha funny Ha.

Stan deeply blushed and glared at Richie.

"You've gotta answer Stanley."

Everyone curiously looked over at Stan. I knew they were all thinking the same thing as me.

"Yes." He mumbled holding his glare with Richie.

"Wait really?" Beverly asked.

He nodded his head.

Holy fucking shit. My crush is gay. That means I actually have a chance.

"I did not take you for a gay guy." Eddie spoke.

Stan just laughed a dry laugh. I cold tell he felt uncomfortable.

"Truth or dare Eddie."

Eddie said dare and Stan made him lick the bottom of his shoe. Eddie reluctantly agreed. Bev was next and she told us her first kiss was a guy name David in 7th grade. Ben went next and said his favorite color was blue, that was a pretty boring question. Mike had to hold a handstand for 20 seconds and surprisingly competed the dare. Richie had to eat a whole burrito that Mike had Bev go and get from the kitchen. They were all pretty boring but hey, we couldn't think off good things when out on the spot.

"Truth or dare Bill." Richie asked.

"Dare." I blurted out. I always pick dare but immediately realized my mistake.

"Kiss Stan." Richie said smirking.

Eddie and Bev 'ohhhhed' and I felt my face redden. I glared at Richie before looking over at Stan. He was also blushing.

Fuck you Richie. I honestly hate you very much right now. But I'm also thanking you.

"Get going." Bev said.

I crawled over to Stan who just sat there. He honestly liked so fucking hot. Not now, I told myself.

I closed my eyes and leaned in. I met Stan's lips and immediately melted into them. His lips were so soft and warm. He kissed back and I got goosebumps. This felt so good.

Someone cleared their throat and I pulled away blushing. I guess we had been kissing for awhile there.

I went back to my spot and looked at Stan. His lisp were now a little plump, as were mine, and he seemed dazed.

"Let's play monopoly!" Richie yelled.

That snapped Stan out of his thoughts and he looked at. We we're both a blushing mess.
