SPOILERS FOR IT CHAPTER TWO!

Richie looked over at Eddie who had just been stabbed by Pennywise only he was lucky and it had not gone all the way through and immediately Richie jumped to his defence, "YOU WANNA PLAY TRUTH OR DARE, ASSHOLE?!" He screeched attracting the attention of the clown/spider hybrid and Richie knew what was holding him back was fear, fear of rejection and that was the hold Pennywise had over him but if he could just say it then that fucking clown could no longer control him and that was what the trashmouth aimed for. "WELL I CHOOSE TRUTH!" The rest of the losers were lost as of course they had not been there for Pennywise taunting Richie about his dirty, dirty secret.

The clown knew what Richie was doing but truthfully he did not believe that the comedian had the balls to go through with it so he simply smirked and turned his attention to Richie, "What's your dirty, dirty secret?" He said in the same tone as he had before. The losers had stopped fighting Pennywise and all just looked at Richie who was standing next to Eddie who was lying with his head against rock in immense pain but the stab had not been fatal so he would be okay, Eddie looked at him confused, "Chee, what are you doing?" He asked, using the nickname he had for him when they were both kids and hearing that again only confirmed what Richie felt.

He felt a lump forming in his throat and honestly he was scared but he had to do this for the second after he would be free, he would be free from Pennywise's grip and even if he was rejected and hated he would finally have the answer for what haunted him. "I'm gay," He spoke calmly despite his body trembling, he did not know how the losers would react to this news... how Eddie would react. The losers all looked at him but not a single member had a look of disgust on their face but instead they looked proud and happy that Richie had confessed to them but seeing Pennywise's reaction they could determine that was not all, Richie's dirty secret went deeper than that. "That's true but there's still more you're not telling them, isn't that right Chee?" He held a sinister smirk. He was still feasting on Richie's fear, the fear of the crush he had harboured for years and that had come back when he saw the male again years later. Eddie reached up and took Richie's hand, the movement taking everything out of him, he did not say a word instead he just squeezed it like he had always done to comfort Richie in the past. "Fine, the fucking clown is right there is more to this then I'm saying... I was and I guess still am in love with Eddie Kaspbrak." He waited for the hand to let go and for there to be a sound of disgust from next to him but instead he felt Eddie's grip only tighten and when Richie found the courage to look down at Eddie he only saw a warm smile, "We'll talk about this after you kill this fucking clown... for good this time." None of the other losers said a thing but they noticed Pennywise falter and his size decrease and they suddenly realised what they had to do... make him feel small.

The losers club, minus Eddie as he did not have the strength to stand, all began yelling insults at the thing which was trying to taunt them. They had defeated Pennywise once before and this time they were not going to stop until he was dead. "You're just a clown."
"A mimic!"
"Homophobic piece of shit!"
That last comment was Richie's but the other losers join in, that was there way of showing support for Richie and even Eddie from his resting spot joining in on that insult. They rip out the clown's heart, surprising that such a monster had one, and destroyed it all together. Once they had killed it they house began crumbling around them and they shared a look before Richie rushed over to scoop Eddie up into his arms knowing that the male in his condition certainly could not run.

They had escaped and after all these years, twenty seven to be exact, they had killed their tormentor. Eddie had been immediately taken to hospital to be taken care of correctly but they discharged him pretty quickly once establishing that everything was okay and that he would most definitely live. All the losers were happy about this news but none were as happy as Richie but that did mean that they had to discuss what had happened during their final battle with Pennywise where Richie had confessed his love. There was one thing Eddie had to do first though and it was something he should have done years ago but fighting that monster gave him the courage to do so, he phoned Myra and told her that he was done with her and he wanted a divorce because being free from her had given him time to think about things and their final battle had really changed things.

Eddie had agreed to meet Richie at the kissing bridge as they needed to talk about also because Richie had something he wanted to show him. "Hey... before we talk I wanted to show you this," He pointed to a faded carving on the bridge's wood and a smile formed on Eddie's lips as he read; R+E. Richie + Eddie. The male waited for a response and waited for a rejection as he knew Eddie was married, he did not at this point know about the male's phone call asking for a divorce, and he could not look at Eddie. Instead, however, Eddie took the switchblade that Richie had from him and got on his knees in front of the initials and began re-carving them into the wood. "Does that make it clear how I feel?" Eddie grinned and Richie could not wipe the smile of his face either and he wanted nothing more than to connect their lips but he had some decency, "What about your wife?" A cheeky grin and wink before Eddie spoke, "I phoned her and said I wanted a divorce this morning... she was controlling and basically my mother but also... I was in love with you, trashmouth, the whole fucking time."

This time Richie did not hold back and they were kissing, both happy and in love. When the losers found out they were eccentric and they told Richie that they always find of figured he had a thing for Eddie and were just glad he finally had the balls to confess.
