It worked before

Slight Chapter Two Spoilers

"You wanna play truth or dare! Here's a truth! You're a sloppy bitch!" Richie screeched at the monster, "Yeah that's right, let's dance! Yippee Kauai motherfucke-" He was cut off however by the clown turning to face him and opening his giant mouth as far as it possibly could even rolling its head back slightly to capture the man in the deadlights. Richie's eyes rolled to the back of his head and he was lifted in the air.

Eddie looked down at the weapon he was holding in his hands, the words that Bev had uttered 'it kills monsters if you believe it does' echoing in his head and he positioned it ready to toss it into the monsters gapping mouth, directly in the deadlights but he stopped himself. He did not know if this course of action would hurt Richie and that was the last thing he wanted to do. He rattled his brain trying to think of something he could do instead and suddenly an idea came to light as he remembered something that had worked in the past but in order to achieve this he needed the other losers to distract the monster.

He was desperate and he did not want to give his plan away to Pennywise so without thinking he yelled, "Ben! Go long!" He threw his weapon forwards for Ben to catch, he knew Ben was the best option as he would most likely catch on to what Eddie was intending on doing after all he was the one who had done it the last time. He was right in assuming this too as when he caught the weapon he immediately ran forward and started bashing at Pennywise's long spidery legs with it, stabbing him with it. Once he was attacking it did not take the other losers long to join in.

The fighting caused Pennywise to start focusing on the losers and leave Richie floating, still caught in the deadlights. It broke Eddie's heart to see Richie like this especially when the boy had told him all those years ago what he had seen in neibot house and from his description the eyes on the corpse were the exact same as his eyes now.

Eddie leapt up a few times until he managed to get a hold of one of the comedian's feet and he gently pulled him down. As he expected that did not snap Richie out of it. He took a deep breath and really contemplated what he was away to do, what if it did not work? What if Richie hated him for it if it did work? What if...? He had to push those thoughts to the back of his head, right now he had to focus on the present no time to worry about what if's.

"I'm so sorry if this doesn't work, Rich..." The risk-analyst mumbled under his breath and he pressed his lips against Richie's in a sweet but frantic kiss. It only lasted a number of seconds but they felt like forever and he slowly pulled away, he felt his heart drop as Richie remained the same as before. The other losers sighed in defeat as they had been keeping an eye on Eddie whilst fighting Pennywise but the sigh alerted the monster that something else was going on and he turned around and smirked evilly.

"You really thought that would work? You're a dirty boy just as your mother always told you and now everyone knows," Pennywise said in a sing-song tone to Eddie, the same tone he had used to taunt Richie about his dirty little secret, he seemed pleased with himself especially when all the losers seemed beaten and it was pretty obvious without Richie that Eddie would not fight. He felt like he had lost the man he just remembered he was in love with.

Suddenly there was a loud gasping noise, "Eds?" That was definitely Richie's voice. The risk-analyst could not stop the wide grin from forming and he whipped his head around to see his best friend and crush back to normal, or whatever normal for Richie was anyway, and he looked very confused. "Richie!" Eddie exclaimed and he pulled the comedian into a tight hug, not caring that they were both being watched by all the losers and a very concerned Pennywise, he had forgotten that all those years ago Ben had managed to break Beverly out of the deadlights with a kiss, guess the losers were not the only ones who had forgotten. The two men were still hugging each other and sobbing and although it was a touching sight now was not the time for it.

"Okay gays as cute as this is we need to as Richie so elegantly put it all those years ago 'kill this fucking clown'," Stan smirked. "Did you m-mean g-guys?" Bill asked, confused. "Did I fucking stutter?" Was the only reply causing Bill to simply shake his head and laugh in reply, he had definitely missed Stan over these twenty seven years. They now knew what to do, when the clown had been insulted he had weakened which meant really all they had to do was roast the clown.

They began screaming insults at Pennywise, that he was only a clown, a mimic, an old lady and a personal favourite a piece of homophobic shit. Unsurprisingly Stan was the one who took the most control in the roasting and the losers were pretty sure that the man could have defeated Pennywise himself but it was definitely quicker with the others help. They yanked out his heart and crushed it together, killing the terroriser for good this time. Once the monster was killed the walls of neibot house began to crumble around them and it was time to leave.

The group were all silent until they reached the quarry, none of them daring to talk just yet until he undid everything. One thing that was noticeable to all the losers however but none of them were going to point out was Eddie and Richie's entwined hands even whilst insulting and finally killing the monster for good they had been holding hands, only letting go to crawl under the gap when they were fleeing the house. Once they reached the quarry they took their shoes off and got their phones out their pockets and then dove into the murky water below.

Each loser resurfaced with a laugh and suddenly the group were roaring with laughter, they were finally free and they were together again. They had not truly realised how much they had missed each other until this moment. "God do you know how much diseases we could get from being in this water!" Eddie started complaining even though he had also dove into the water. He was shut up by a finger on his lips and a chuckle coming from Richie, "That's our Eddie, I never thought I would miss your constant complaining but I really did." The two were extremely close now and no one else uttered a word and it seemed like they were going to kiss until Richie suddenly went, "I've lost my glasses!"

With another roar of laughter everyone went on a search to find his glasses, going under the water until Eddie suddenly went, "I've found them." He smiled and swam back over to Richie, placing them crooked on his face with a cheeky grin. The comedian rolled his eyes and was away to speak until he was cut off by Eddie's lips against his. He lost whatever comment he was going to make and began to kiss the shorter man back, snaking an arm around his waist to pull him closer. A cheer broke out amongst the losers at this. "Finally!" Mike and Bev both yelled in sync. "Yeah we both knew you two were in love since you were kids," Bev explained after seeing the shocked flushed faces of Eddie and Richie.

"So does this mean once I divorce my wife you'll be my boyfriend?" Eddie decided to take the plunge and ask. "But of course spaghetti man but I need to break up with your mom first," The comedian replied just like he would have when they were children. This resulted in him getting dunked under the water.

R+E was finally real.
