He was, just there. His bright blue eyes stared into mine. Richie Tozier was there.
Why am I surprised ?
Then it all came back. After being in a Richie trance I just realised that the entire Losers club saw me almost break down. My face heated up. I was so fucking embarrassed, and if I told them, I guarantee that no one will believe me.
"Will..! Are you okay?" Richie asked, his voice almost breaking due to how worried he is. I slowly nodded, glancing over at the others, Bev seemed to understand she gave me a nod before hurrying the boys back inside to give us some time. Richie stood up and helped me to my feet. My hands were in his. They were so soft, I still can't get over it. But I gently took my hands out from his.
"What happened?"
I took in a heavy breath, should I tell him? "I-It was just a panic attack.." Richie just gave me a look, he raised his eyebrows. "I've had plenty of those, Will, that wasn't a panic attack."
"Some people are different, Richie." I said. Richie is very very very fucking stubborn so there will be no getting out of this. "Will you dont have to hide it, I'm not gonna judge you." He said, grabbing onto my hand softly. "I-I can handle it. I won't get mad at you o-or anything." Richie's pale freckled face turned a light shade of pink. "Richie.. I am sorry.. Look.. I might tell you okay? Just give me time." I said, trying to reassure Him. He nodded a bit and looked down at our hands, his thumb gently caressing my knuckles, which made him smile.
Richie is such a softie.
"Okay.. Just know that you can tell me anything." His eyes locked in with mine once again. I gave him a small smile that said, 'I know.'

~a few days later~

So, I thought it was gonna be a one time thing but these episodes are happening a bit more often, but only when I'm around Richie. And every episode seems to be different. I could've sworn I saw something that looked out of ordinary, even for the upside down.
Me and Richie were at his, it was just a 'normal' weekend. We were just laying on his bed talking about random things and laughing at dick jokes. But the vibe changed very quickly when Richie asked out of nowhere, "Have you ever been in love?" I looked over at him and huffed, "where did that come from?" He just shrugged and kept staring at the roof. "I don't know, I was just curious." His thumbs locked together and started rolling over each other. "And I'm curious to know whether it's the same with someone else. Like how they handle it and blah blah."
I hummed quietly and looked up.
"Well yeah, I guess I have been in love."

Once he looked up I looked at him. "It didn't work out, she didn't like me as much as I liked her.." Will said, almost hesitant with 'her.'
"She was always drawn to her boyfriend which pissed me off because I wanted her to notice me. And the more I hung out with her the more I.. loved her.. and when I was leaving I told her how I felt. She just.. ripped me for it.." Will huffed quietly and shook his head, "I'm not surprised, no one could love me, yet alone like me.."
"You shouldn't think like that." I said with a shrug, He looked over at me. "Why's that?" Will and I just looked at each other.
"Well.. I like you."
Fuck.
