Dare Me (Henry Bowers x Reader)

Until the Next 27 Years

I walk Henry the way home our hands swinging intertwined. "I want to talk about something." I look at him with narrowed eyes. "what? Now that you've seen me fight a fucking clown you realize I'm too hot for you?" Henry shakes his head kissing my fingers.

"No. I want you to move in." my laughter stopping on the road... Just a few meters away from his driveway. "Yeah sure, Bowers. Let's kick your dad out first." Henry's head twitches uniquely. His hands begin to shake as well.  His face flashes to the worst fear and pain I've ever seen him muster up before. "Henry. Baby, are you okay?" "my dad. (y/n). I-I. I love you. You need to run, baby." Henry says looking around paranoid. I place my hands on his face and like a switch, he walks towards his driveway. I see cop cars lined the driveway as I come closer after Henry. "Henry? W-why did you find me already covered in blood?" Henry smiled at me. He smiled a toothy grin filled with evil.

This isn't my Henry.

Henry walks up to the cops and they pull their guns on him. "wait!" I try to race to them but a cop holds me back.

Two people tackle Henry to the ground. Then they place his hands behind his back.

No.

"Henry Bowers. You are under arrest for the murder of Oscar Butch Bowers--"

My body numbs.

"I'm not finished! I'M NOT DONE! I have to KILL THEM ALL!" Henry looks up at the sky laughing at a single object drifting across the sky.

A red balloon.

They place my love in silver shackles and drive away with him.

I stare at the floating balloon. "Just you wait 27 years you fucker."

I return home in the squad car. Richie races out hugging me. "what happened (y/n)?" I hold onto my younger brother. "They... They arrested Henry. He won't be coming back." Richie holds onto me letting me cry.

"Hey. Wanna hear a joke?"

That was one thing about my brother Richie Tozier. He could always make me laugh.

For now Derry, you've made me weaker than ever. Fuck you.

Sincerely (y/n) fucking Tozier.

Goodbye everyone,

Goodbye childhood,

Goodbye Henry.

I walk into the plain white facility with a bag in hand. I scan my visitors pass and wait for the bars to slide over allowing me entrace. I walk into the common room and see him trying to do a puzzle.

I slide into the seat next to him with a smile. "Hi, Henry." Henry removes his eye contact from the puzzle and to me. "You came." He smiles happily. He always greets me the same way. Even after 10 years of visiting him. I nod placing my hand on his. "Of course I did. It's your birthday." I pull out a cupcake with a candle. I light the candle without the nurse looking.

"Happy 26th Birthday Henry." I slide the cupcake over to him. He simply smiles and blows the flame out. "What'd you wish for?" Henry grabs my hand under the table. "You." "Cheesy." "You love it." "I loved it when we were 16. I also loved that hair, but it's been long enough." Henry puts his hands up to his mullet. "Don't you fucking dare." I laugh kissing his cheek before anyone sees.

"You have to go don't you?" "I don't want to, but I'm not allowed to stay more than 10 minutes. You will be in trouble." "Will you come back?" Henry asks running a finger over the necklace that has survived so many years. I nod grabbing his hand. "I will. Just for you Henry."

"I'm getting out of here one day, and then I'm going to marry you (Y/n)," I smirk leaning down and pressing a kiss upon his lips. I earn a few shouts and yells from others and the nurses, but it was well worth it. "Can't wait Bowers. I'll see you tomorrow." I smile squeezing his hand. "I love you!" He yells as a nurse guides me to the exit.

"I'll love you forever and always Henry."
