Richie x Reader IT Chapter Two

Chapter 7

"Are you gonna be like this the entire time we're home?" Eddie said angrily, not to pleased at the fact Richie mimicked a being that tried to eat us. Richie sighed "Alright, just trying to add some levity to it, i'll go fuck myself." He whistled and walked off as we continued looking through our memories. Bill picked some can up and mumbled "Hey guys," I stood up and walked over and my heart dropped as I saw what it was "S-s-stans" Bill stuttered as he showed the rest of the group what it was "For the use of the l-losers only" Bill said sadly as his eyes went back to the can. Eddie shook his head as he held a grim face, Bill opened it up to reveal the shower caps.

Stan pulled the shower caps out of the can he brought and handed it to Richie, who was on the hammock with me, Stan started to hand me one and I put it on as Richie stared at the shower cap "What the fuck is this?" "It's so you don't get spiders stuck in your hair." Stan answered as he smiled and I shuddered at the thought of spiders in my hair. "Stanley we're not afraid of fucking spiders" Richie threw the cap down and Stan sighed and walked away, Richie looked to me and his eyes widened "What the fuck Y/N? You too?" I nodded and nudged my head towards the rest of the losers who were also putting it on "I stand corrected." Richie said disappointed and Eddie quickly threw his off as Bev smiled and lit a cigarette "That's a first." "Touche" Richie nodded as he went back to his comic. Eddie walked over to us and said "Okay guys your ten minutes are up". I nodded and started to get up but Richie grabbed my waist and pulled me back, I blushed as Richie spoke "What are you talking about?" I was about to answer but Eddie beat me to it "The hammock, ten minutes each was the rule, Y/N spent hers when she sat with you." I nodded as Richie looked around like he was looking for something "I don't see any sign." Eddie glared and started to rant "Are being this way right now no no no why would there be a sign if it was a verbal agreement?!" I let out a sigh as I looked to Mike who was on the swing "Help me" I mouthed to him and he laughed and said "Sorry, your'e stuck" I stuck my tongue out and he laughed again as they both started arguing before Eddie jumped onto the hammock. They started fighting as I yelled "HEY ASSHOLES, IF YOUR GONNA FIGHT LIKE CHILDREN AT LEAST KEEP ME OUT OF THE WARZONE!" I started fighting them also as we all yelled insults at each other before Ben said something about a program "I'd do that, I'd do anything to get the hell out of Derry" Richie said and I nodded in agreement, Mike seemed to agree also  because he spoke " Man when I graduate I'm going to Florida." "Jersey for me, I got family up there." I said happily and Richie smiled at me as Ben looked at Mike curiously "What's in Florida Mike?" "I don't know, I guess it was just a place I always wanted to go." We all smiled at Mike's dream before Richie interrupted "Stan you should go with Mike to Florida, you already act 80, you could hang out with all the grandmas" Richie made kissy faces toward Stan as we all laughed. Stan didn't say anything as he looked deep in thought, he sighed before asking "Do you guys think we'll still be friends? When we're older.?" Bev looked confused as she spoke "What?" "Why wouldn't we be?" Eddie asked as Bill sat next to him. "Do- do any of your parents still hang out with their friends from middle school?" My face paled as I thought of my mother being friends with people like her, I rubbed the places where she hit me as Richie saw what I was doing and pulled me into a side hug as the rest of the group thought about it. Eddie smirked and hit Richie in the face with his foot as I smacked Eddie, who in return smacked my arm with his foot. "I mean, things might be different then. We all might be different." Bill stared at Stan and said softly "W-we'll always still be friends. I don't think that just g-goes away when we get older." Stan looked down and Bev gave a small smile "Yeah Stan, you don't have to be so-

"Sad" Bev mumbled and Bill fumbled with the shower cap as Ben smiled. "He was old before his time". "Yeah, I wonder what he was like all grown up" Eddie said as he sighed as Richie gave a weak smile "Probably what he was like as a kid, the best" I gave a small laugh as a tear rolled down my cheek. "Hey.." Bill spoke softly and threw the shower cap to Richie, he smiled before asking "Okay Mike what are we doing here." "The ritual, it requires a sacrifice." "A sacrifice" I asked as my eyes widened as Richie pointed to Eddie "If it's a sacrifice I nominate Eddie." Eddie stared at Richie "Wait what?" "Cause your little, you'll fit on a barbeque." "True" I said as I pointed to Eddie and he threw his arms up "I'm 5'9 i'm like average height for most of the world." "Cough* shorty Cough*" I coughed and Eddie glared at me as I smiled at him. "I-it's not that kind of sacrifice." "Soooo no sacrificing Eddie?" I asked innocently and he punched me in the shoulder as I chuckled. "The past is buried, but your gonna have to dig it up. Piece by piece. And these pieces, these artifacts... that's why we're here. They, are what you are going to sacrifice, and since Stan isn't here to find his, I figured we could all be here to find his artifact." I looked down at my old shower caps and smiled "I think Bill just did that".
