*Stans POV*
I was waiting at the Quarry for a good five minutes looking at all the beautiful birds before I heard an oh so familiar voice.
"Stu-Stan! Thu-Thanks for mu-meeting me.." Bill said as I stood up and walked over to him.
"No problem. Why'd you want to meet u-"
He kissed me. Bill Denbrough, who's dating Eddie Kaspbrak, kissed me. On the lips. I shouldn't have, but I pushed him away.
"Bill... I.. I'm so sorry but you and I both know that we both can't.. you're with Eddie and I'm with Richie.. I'm so sorry Bill.." I said sitting down on a rock. Bill sighed and sat next to me.
"I knu-know bu-But I du-don't like Eddie like I lu-like you Stu-Stan... I've liked since I laid my eyes on you in kindergarten. I just never let it out.. yes I thought Eddie was cute and he really is but.. Stan I'm in love with you.. like madly in love with you. And I know that's weird for you to hear but.. I needed you to hear it. Me and Eddie only got together to take our minds off of the ones that we are left thinking about at night.. that's you and Richie.. so I just needed to get this off my chest.. bye Stanny.." He said while holding my hands the whole time. Tears where forming in my eyes as I pressed the 'END RECORDING' button on my phone. I smiled to myself and walked home.
- TIME SKIP TO STANS HOUSE-
"Richie! Richie Richie Richie Richieeeeeeee!!!" I screamed as I walked into my room. He shot up and gave me a glare.
"What?!" He said throwing his glasses on. I smiled and plopped down next to him.
"Listen to what Bill told me after he uh... he kinda kissed me. But I pulled away! I remembered our rules! But just listen!" I said as I pulled my phone out to play the recording.
"Wait.. Bill kissed you?!"
"Yes but just listen please Richie?" He sighed then nodded his head. I played the recording for him and watched as his face fell
"'I knu-know bu-But I du-don't like Eddie like I lu-like you Stu-Stan... I've liked since I laid my eyes on you in kindergarten. I just never let it out.. yes I thought Eddie was cute and he really is but.. Stan I'm in love with you.. like madly in love with you. And I know that's weird for you to hear but.. I needed you to hear it. Me and Eddie only got together to take our minds off of the ones that we are left thinking about at night.. that's you and Richie.. so I just needed to get this off my chest.. bye Stanny..'" I stopped the recording and looked at Richie with the biggest smile on my face. He just looked sad. Like really sad.
"Richie? Why are upset? We did it! They're jealous! We can 'break up' now and you can have Eddie and I can have Bill!" I said, pretending I had no feelings for Richie. Which I did. But I can't just watch him fall in love with Eddie. So I have to convince myself I love Bill.. as hard as it is..
*Richies POV*
Fuck. I can't tell him now. Or can I? Fuck it! I grabbed his face and connected our lips. He gasped but then kissed back. I pulled away and let go of him face. I grabbed his hands and looked dead in his eyes.
"Stan.. I'm not just saying this for our stupid deal, but I'm in love with you and I'm pretty sure I have been since we first met in Pre-School. And watching you fall for Bill hurts me. So last night when you said you weren't sure that you liked Bill made me think I had an actual chance with you. Like for real. But then this morning you pull off that shit? That fucking hurt Stan. So much.. but whatever makes you happy will make me happy.. just.. i wont be mad with whoever you ch-"
I was cut off by Stan's lips on mine. It shocked me but I kissed back. We both smiled into the kiss. We pulled away and I looked at him like I was just so fucking lost, which I was.
"Richie.. I love you too and always have. I thought maybe this deal would make me realize I don't really love you but it didn't fucking work.. obviously. But besides the point, I always pushed my feelings for you away because you where hopelessly in love with Eddie. I used to compare myself to him every fucking day. I thought I wasn't good enough for you because all you wanted was Eddie. I used to.. I used to cut myself because I thought you would never love someone like me.. every single day I would beat myself up and hate myself. I would even let Henry beat the shit out of me because I thought it would kill me. But besides the point, I love you Richie Tozier so. Fucking. Much." He said. My eyes where threatening to spill tears, and so they did. Stan wiped them away and smiled. I pulled him into a bear hug and didn't let go. We eventually fell asleep like that. And I swore I heard Stan say twelve words before we feel asleep.
"I love you so much Richie Tozier. To the moon and back" I smiled and kisses forehead.
"I love you so much too Stanley Uris. To the moon and back."
