The Aftermath (Reddie)

62

Eddie's POV

"You know," I huffed, "when you said you would do anything, I didn't think you meant this," I gestured to the bags of confetti and glitter that Richie kept pulling out of his bag and pouring into a big ass bucket.

He had said it was 'to spice up the losers' lives' whatever that meant.

Richie looked up at me while pouring some rainbow glitter. He furrowed his brow, "well what did you think I meant?"

I sighed and took the glitter from his hands, putting his hands instead on my waist.

"I thought we were gonna fuck."

Richie turned red, "Oh...is that still on the table or?"

I rolled my eyes and kissed him.

3rd Person POV

Beverly groaned as Ben patted her back soothingly. They were sitting at the bar in the inn lobby.

"I fucking swear," she groaned.

"What's got her panties in a twist?" Richie chirped as he all but skipped down the stairs and laid eyes on Bev. Her hair was a mess and her eyes were tired. Ben looked like he was going to pee himself just rubbing her back and comforting her.

Beverly instantly looked up at the sound of his voice and jumped to her feet, "You!" she screeched, waving her finger in his face after marching up to him.

Richie became very scared of this woman's rage.

"Where's your lover?! Where's the fucking yeller?! Where's the reason I wish I was deaf?!" She spat in his face.

Richie put his hands up in surrender, "Uh..."

"Eddie!" she clarified, "Where is he?!"

"I'm right here Bev," Eddie said sleepily, running his hands through his not-so neat hair.

Bev turned her death glare to him and jumped in his face, "You!" she yelled.

Eddie looked absolutely terrified. He had no idea what he did wrong. He pointed to himself like he wanted her to clarify it was really him she was yelling at.

"Learn how to take it quieter!" she yelled and then marched back to Ben, who mouthed a 'sorry' to the two.

Eddie was completely embarrassed.

"You think she heard us?" Richie whispered.

Eddie glared at Richie now and smacked his arm, "Fuck you."

"No you," Richie winked and caused Eddie to turn an even brighter shade of red.

Then Bill marched down the stairs, "Talk about the most I've heard Eddie agree with Richie."

Eddie felt like melting in the floor.

Richie was grinning brightly and slung an arm around Eddie. Who quickly shoved it off and glared.

The rest of the losers - minus Bev - laughed. The Bill got quiet, thinking about Stan. Knowing that if Stan was here right now, he would've started to sing 'can you feel the love tonight.'

He missed Stan so much, and hated himself for growing apart from him, for letting them drift apart. For letting Stan marry a woman - of all thing. For letting Stan think he was all alone in the world.

Let's just say Bill hadn't slept much either that night, but it wasn't because of Richie and Eddie. He stayed up just staring up at the ceiling and thinking about high school. Thinking about all the time's Stan would show up at his door, ruffle his hair, then march upstairs like he was pissed. Even though they both knew he wasn't.

He couldn't get the feeling of a lovesick teenage boy out of his brain. Bill was an adult now, all grown up, but he felt like he was a teen again. He felt like he was staring into Stan's hard eyes and whispering 'I love you,' this time not drunkenly, as Stan distracted him on the anniversary of the day Georgie went missing.

"Bill?" Ben asked, "You good?"

Bill nodded and cleared his throat, "I'm fine, just tired...from the...fucking, you know...." Eddie was pouting, "let's go meet Mike," Bill plastered a smile on his face.

The losers agreed and grumbled their way out the door.

Besides Richie, he was beaming as he made his way out the door.

Ooof.

Still panicking but writing helps I think. I wanna go to bed and stay there, or maybe drift into a coma.

Sorry that was dark as fuck lol.

I feel like you guys don't actually know much about me (besides those that read this and go to my school which is fucking terrifying by the way)

So here you boys go.

I'm a female.

You've learned everything you need to know about me now. Lol
