Loser (A reddie fanfiction)

LOSER Chapter 6

Richie awoke to the absence of warmth in his arms. Sitting up, he looked around frantically. "Eds? Where are you, buddy?" he called. "In the closet. I'm trying to find my rain boots," Eddie's muffled voice said. Richie glanced at the small window. The sky was dark gray, and sheets of rain were pounding the street.

Eddie emerged fully dressed in a thick sweater and jeans, carrying two pairs of rain boots. "Guess what Chee! We're going to play in the rain like we used to when we were kids!" Eddie cheered, throwing the other pair of boots at his friend. "Okay, sounds fun! But can we eat breakfast first? I'm starving!" Richie said, standing up. "Sure. Get dressed quickly Chee!" Eddie ran downstairs as Richie dressed as quickly as he could manage.

They ate a hurried breakfast of eggs and toast before putting on their things and running outside. They splashed in puddles that used to seem so big to them. Richie collected a bunch of water in a bucket and poured it over Eddie's head. Eddie shrieked and chased him down the street furiously.

Richie stopped dead when he approached the storm drain where Georgie had vanished. He got hit with a memory so clear, even though he'd all but forgotten it

3 years earlier

The Loser's Club was in the sewer. They had just seen Bill shoot fake Georgie, and their hearts were breaking for him. Then Georgie morphed into that horrid clown that they all hated but were no longer scared of, and the fight began. Richie saw It change into the leper that Eddie hated so much, and a hot rage coursed through him like bitter poison. That thing was not about to touch HIS Eds. He ran toward It, ready to hit him over the head with a metal pole he had found.

Present

Richie gasped as his knees hit the cold, wet ground. Eddie crouched down, panicked. "Chee? What happened?!" he exclaimed. "Just a memory," Richie said, clutching his chest. He stood quickly. "C'mon Eds. Let's go back. We'll get sick if we stay out here too long." They made it back in record time and Richie immediately went upstairs to shower. He stood underneath the warm water, letting the heat and steam wash away the memories and fear.

Eddie placed a towel outside the bathroom door and waited in the bedroom patiently. When Richie came in the bedroom, Eddie's breath caught in his throat. Richie had very pale skin. He had abs instead of the skin-and-bone appearance that he had when he was young. His dark hair was plastered to his forehead. He looked... attractive in Eddie's eyes. 

Richie caught him staring and grinned mischievously. "Like what you see Eds?" he teased. Eddie blushed. Instead of answering, he stood up and made his way to the bathroom for his turn in the shower. The water helped him calm his speeding heart and helped him think clearly. What did this mean?! That he was gay?! Eddie pondered the fact for a long time, so long that the water ran cold. He couldn't understand his feelings, but he was determined to find out who he was.
