marry me // Reddie

1. Are You Reddie For it

Ok let's just pretend that Eddie never died and this is what actually happened, okay? Okay. also sorry but Stanley is still dead in this...

After the battle and quarry scene~

     Eddie walked back to his car and was about to get in when he heard someone call his name. He looked up and saw Richie running towards him. "Eddie wait!" Eddie shut his car door and started walking towards Richie. "What's-" Eddie started to say but was cut off by Richie hugging him so hard that they almost fell over. "I wanted to say bye... cause you know.. I don't know when we'll see each other again."

     Eddie laughed. "Yeah. But I don't think I could go another 27 years without seeing you again." Richie smiled. "Me either."

     Richie stood there for a moment wondering if he should tell Eddie how he feels. He knew Eddie wouldn't feel like same because he's straight and married but he felt like he just need to tell him and get it off his chest.

     Richie let out a big sigh. "Okay. Okay." He said to prepare himself for what he was about to say. Eddie stood there really confused. "Uh.. Richie are you good?"

     "No. I mean yes. I mean i don't know.. I need to tell you something!" Richie blurted out.
"Okay?" Eddie said even more confused. What was Richie about to say?

     "Okay so... I... I'm... I'm in love with you and I have been since we kids."

     Richie searched eddies face for any sign of disgust or even any emotion at all, but his face was just blank. "I'm so sorry Eddie, I know you don't feel the same, and I just ruined our friendship and now you're never going to talk to me again and-" Richie's rambling was cut off by eddies lips connecting to his.

     Richie's eyes went wide but he kissed Eddie back and wrapped his arms around his small waist. Eddie pulled back and looked up into richies magnified eyes. "Richie, I've loved you too." Richie stared at him in awe. "But why- then why- why'd you marry that lady?"

     Eddie shook his head. "I.. I don't know. I guess I never thought that maybe you felt the same..... And now that I think about it Myra kinda reminds me of my mother. I don't love her they way I love you."

Richie smiled. "Well what does this mean for us now?"

Eddie shrugged then grinned. "I guess maybe I should probably get a divorce??" Richies eyes widened.

Eddie and Richie walked into Eddie and Myra's house. "Myra?! I'm back! And I need to talk to you." Eddie started getting nervous. He knew this was not about to end well for him.

Myra came trotting down the stairs. "Oh my gosh Eddie Bear where have you been?!?!! I've been worried sick about you!!!"

Eddie winced. "Look, Myra.... Ugh I don't know how to say this..." he looked at Richie who was awkwardly standing behind him looking at the floor.

Myra looked at Eddie confused. "What? You don't know how to say what? Who's that?" Suddenly a wave of anger flashed over Eddie. "God dammit Myra stop asking so many fucking questions I can't concentrate!"

She was taken aback by his sudden outburst. "Eddie-" "I WANT A DIVORCE!" He suddenly blurted out. "Wh-What?" She felt tears forming in her eyes.

Eddie pushed past her and walked up to his room to start packing his things up. Myra glanced at the strange man standing in their house before running after Eddie.

"Eddie what happened? Where did you go? You can't just disappear for days then all the sudden show up and demand a divorce! I want answers!" She was full on crying now.

"Do you really want me to tell you where I was?!" Eddie asked raising his voice again. "Yes! I really do!"

"I was cheating on you with that man down stairs!" Eddie yelled in her face. Which was kinda a lie, but he couldn't tell her they had just fought an ancient cosmic evil thing. "I'm gay myra! And I always have been!"

Myra didn't even know how to respond to that. She just stood there with her mouth wide open.

Eddie suddenly felt really bad. "Look myra, I'm really sorry, but I honestly don't know why I married you..."

Eddie finished packing all his things up and he and Richie left. Eddie felt awful. He didn't love Myra but he still cared for her. What he did to her was terrible. He groaned and rubbed his hands down his face.

"Hey, it's alright." Richie said and put his hand on eddies thigh. "I mean not really. I just broke her heart." Eddie stated. "I know but do you want to spend the rest of your life with her?"

"No."

"Then it's okay then."
