IT PREFERENCES AND IMAGINES

arcade girl - richie tozier

"Yes! Finally!" you say taking the coins from your cousin "Thanks S-"

"Becareful, no talking to boys" he told you, being overprotective like usual

"yeah yeah" you say while walking away

"hey dont walk away from me missy" you completely ignore him and continue to walk to the arcade. There you see a strange boy with curly black hair and glasses playing your favorite game, Street Fighter.

"Hey kid, are you almost done" you say trying to start a conversation. Nothing. He says nothing.

"Uhm.. hello?" you say trying to get his attention again. He still doesnt say anything and continues to play his game. He lost, and you snickered.

"Pfft so bad" you mumble underneath your breath

"whaddya say, girl?" he says finally responding as he turned around. He looked down at you since you were short and chuckled to himself.

"w-what?" you look up to him

"anyways girl, this is my game ok?"

"heh yeah says that game that just happened"

"you just happened to catch me at the worse time ok girl?"

"sure suree, but seriously you could've just done the up down combo for the last second, it always works"

"okay i dont need advice from a girl, so shoo" he says motioning for you to go away with his hand

"what a great waste of coins" you sigh as you leave the arcade

Richie's POV

'i felt kinda bad just shooing her away like that but who cares, she wss annoying anyways. Besides i bet her technique doesnt even work... it wouldnt hurt to try.. no richie what are you thinking.. but i mean...'

Richie thought to himself. He couldnt help himself, after you left he put in another coin and tried the combo you said...

The Next Day [your POV]

"I swear it wasnt Bowers. I remember what he looks like this kid is younger, like our age" you tried explaining to your step brother

"oh no" he says terrified "I'm coming with you to the arcade today?"

"what?" you were confused "why?"

"you'll see, wait no, i'll see"

"what does that even mean?" you ask him but he ignores you and walks to the arcade with you

you enter the arcade first and the boy from yesterday walks up to you scratching his neck.

"hey, uhhh your technique worked great, i was wondering if you... STAN!?" the boy screamed mid sentence as your step brother stan walked in

"uGh i knew it" stan says "i swear tozier you better not be hitting on my-"

"hold up i didnt know she was your girlfriend. stan sorry to break it to ya she's way out of your league, i mean come on she knows a secret combo on Street Fighter and-"

"Rich, she's my step sister.." stan said interrupting the boy before he could compliment you even more "and wait dude thats my step sister, dont say that" stan liiked disgusted

"rich, huh?" you looked at the boy

"oh well, richie but people call me rich, i mean not that i'm rich, oh i wish if i was rich i would- i mean yeah the names richie, what about you baby" he said changing tones quickly. Stan stepped in.

"Ok thats enough, y/n no more going to the arcades for you"

"i- what why not" you pleaded stan to let you play some more "pleaase stanley" you even used your puppy eyes on him, eventually he broke and said fine.. im pretty sure it was the puppy eyes that worked. You say yes out loud excitedly and you hear richie do the same behind you.

"i mean uhh yay good for you y/n" he says covering it up "hey maybe you can finally teach me more combat skills"

"Of course you'd need help, loser"

"i- hey i came here to get taught not get bullied so much hate, its like having another stanley, one was enough but two-"

"hey richie, im watching you, i dont trust my sister hanging around you" your overprotective brother stan says

"I can handle myself stanley, and besides you hang around richie, you turned out.... well.... yeah your right" you tease them both. Stan playfully hits your arm and richie yells hey at you. You and richie play Street Fighter all day as stan supervised you too. You went to get everyone ice cream as the two talk.

"Hey stanley why havent you told me about y/n yet" rich asks

"because like i said i dont want her hanging around you"

"dude why im pretty chill"

"exactly, thats exactly why, ur y/n's ideal type"

"woah woah wait I AM??" richie starts to get excited "wait what else?"

"what else what?" you come back with three ice creams "this was really hard to carry by the way, so you guys owe me"

"yeah yeah thats great now tell me more stan" richie says taking the ice cream

"yeah stan tell him more" you join in not knowing what they were talking about

"ok i mean, if you insist" stanley then started to list out your ideal type. You get flustered because it basically describes richie, you shuts stan up with his ice cream. Richie smiles from ear to ear and whistles as he walks away.

"w-w-whats he so h-happy about" bill says coming from nowhere
