i'm reddie for stenbrough

«griefing»

it was a sad time for everyone.

ben already knew, he hadn't been going to school.

mike was sad but not as hurt as ben.

richie and eddie we're crying looking over memories.

stan and bill were with them.

-
"remember when she got so drunk she almost fell off from the quarry cliff?" richie said.

he laughed.

eddie started to tear up.

richie wiped off the tear on eddies eye, he shut the photo album. he gave eddie a tight hug.

his frail arms wrapped around the sad short little boy.

"hey tomorrow is saturday right?" richie asked.

"yea...?" eddie answered.

"wanna go to the quarry tomorrow guys? i mean like just us? i mean like i know you too
probably wanna suck face but... mike is comforting ben and we are the only two co-

richie stopped himself and covered his
mouth.

"well i mean were the only two uhm... like people i guess who are a little less sad?" richie questioned what he just said.

they all nodded, but stan.

richie started to get nervous.

"couple?"

stan raised an eyebrow.

out of all the things he could have asked he asked about the word that wasn't even finished.

"oh uhm... no i mean well would it be werid if i said i liked eddie."

richie looked over at him.

"no? you guys always flirt it's so funny."

stan looked at both of them.

"yeah um i like richie."

eddie confessed, he was nervous but he felt like a weight just lifted off his shoulder. no more secrets.

eddie started to blush uncontrollably.

"well we already knew that. you guys were so obvious!" stan laughed.

"w-we were!?" eddie was super nervous.

"mhm!" stan said.

it got a little awkward cause they just admitted they liked eachother, again.

"you and bill were definitely not." richie said.

"yeah i know we weren't."

stan looked over at bill who was looking down.

"hey what's wrong?"

bill looked up and gave a lopsided grin.

"nothing..." bill giggled a little bit.

"nothing? seems like something to me." richie said.

"shush richie!" stan said.

he grabbed bill's arm and saw that bill was quiet but not because he was sad, cause he was thinking of something happy.

"what is it?" stan smiled.

"nothing! i-it's something i r-remembered." bill removed his arms from stan and ran out.

"uh... okay?" eddie looked over at stan.

"hmm... i'll be back." stan said, he ran down the stairs.
