Richie x Will (Ryers)

{25}

So my reaction to the amount of readers: THEY DONT STOP COMING AND THEY DONT STOP COMING- thank yall for 1.88k FUCKIN READERS J NEVER THOUGHT THIS WAS GONNA BLOW UP

After Bev and Richie had their moment, the boys from outside came back in quietly. Will immediately placed himself next to Richie as Ruby sat on the other side. Richie weakly wrapped his arms around the two, even after Will insisted that he should just keep his arm flat, Richie was still stubborn enough to do the complete opposite. Will gently laid his head onto Richie's chest.
It was silent until Ben spoke up, "Do you want me to go grab you something rich?"
"I'm good Benny, don't worry." He gave off a small smile, Stan sat at the end of the bed with Bill in his lap, seeing as everyone had already filled up bed space, leaving some space for Mike after he was done with Eddie.
And oh boy, Stan was a tomato.
Mike eventually returned and everyone eyes laid onto him wanting to hear what Eddie had said on the phone. "He's coming, don't worry." Mike sat down on the bed in front of Richie and next to Bev. "Hey guys, do you think I could talk to Eddie in private?" The losers, including ruby and will, gave him a nod.

Moments passed and during that time they were all laughing and making jokes, the mood had lightened up heaps while Richie was going back to his happy self, the one to make dirty jokes at any point in time given. Soon enough, there was a knock on the door, everyone being quick to fall quiet.
"Come in!" Richie called out.
And in walked Eddie, who was wearing baggy shorts and a big shirt that had a little duck in the corner, along with black socks with dirty converse,a first.

Richie took a deep breath in. The losers all got up from their spots and went outside once again, Eddie closed the door once they were gone.
Awkward silence filled the room.
Eddie slowly walked towards Richie, looking at the bandage around his arm that  had small drips of blood go through, seeing the bruises up both arms and a few scattered around his face.

"Eddie... I'd like to know why you did that..." Richie spoke. Eddie nodded and sighed heavily, tears already swelled up in his eyes. "I did it because I was...in love with you..  I'm sorry.. I was jealous of Will and from the first moment I saw you two hanging out I knew that both of you felt something for each other, and I guess I wanted that.... I shouldn't of hurt you or Will like that.. I'm sorry..." Eddie looked Richie dead in the eyes as he did back, both of them starting to cry.
"I didn't want to.. and I did anyways, you probably hate me and I don't blame you for that, but I want to fix our friendship... if you're happy with it, I want to hang out with you and everyone again, like old times." Richie smiled sadly, he pulled Eddie into a hug which slightly hurt to do so, they both hugged each other tightly and didn't ever want to let go of one another. "I forgive you Eds." He sniffed, Eddie chuckled, laying his head on his shoulder lightly, "Thanks Rich.."

Tw in a few paragraphs

They both slowly pulled away from each other, wiping their teary faces dry. Eddie grabbed his hand platonically and smiled, Richie doing the same back. "I missed you trashmouth."
"I missed you too Spaghetti."
Reddie let go of their hands before calling everyone back in. And soon enough, they were both surrounded by hugs.
Ruby had crawled her way into the middle next to Richie.
"So have you both fixed your problems?" Bev asked, Richie and Eddie exchanged looks, "Yeah."

An: sorry- idk what to write here so enjoy this little timeskip.

Days passed and Richie was finally let out of hospital. They kept him there to make sure he had gotten better, which he had.
On the day of Richie's leaving, Will greeted him outside of the building with a box of chocolates and a pack of movies.
"Good evening my baby Will." Richie said with a toothy smile, Will had never notched this at all until now, but Richie had two teeth at the front that were slightly bigger then the rest, buck teeth.

An: in the book Richie has buck teeth and so I wanted to add this feature because the idea of it is cute.

"And good evening to you as well Richard." Will answered with a British accent, Richie chuckled and threw his arm around him, "well I'll be fucked, you've got a betta accent den me!" He exclaimed in a shitty Scottish or Irish accent, either one.
Will giggled and lead Richie to his house, "Got taught from the best." Richie kissed his forehead gently, "you are actually good at it though."
"Why thank you."
The two went to Richie's house laughing and talking about little things like that, Richie made a joke about how he hadn't seen the sun in fifty years and near my fake cried about it. But acting isn't and wasn't his strongest suit so he couldn't pull off fake crying. Once they got there Richie raced Will up the stairs and to his room, almost tripping like a dumbass on a stair, Will laughed harder as he followed him into the Tozier cave. His room.

Richie flopped onto the bed and let out a relaxed sigh, "this is better then the hospital bed." Will set up the tv in the room, throwing in a movie into the cassette tape to then sit next to Richie smiling down at him.
Wills eyes trailed over to Richie's arms that had fine scars going down, and all around. And that night came back to him.

(Wills pov)
Pools of blood surrounding his arms while, all I could hear was the scream of sirens flying down into the street. Quickly, I rolled him onto his back, his arm almost stuck to the carpet which was sickening, he looked lifeless. Richie was cold, limp, his eyes had rolled into the back of his head.
Tears fell endlessly down my face and onto his chest bare chest, that was covered in cuts, bruises and unknown marks.
"Richie! Richie wait up!" My voice screamed whilst I tried my hardest to wake him up, shaking his body that was light and floppy. "RICHIE!" Soon enough, he was taken away, ruby looked at me with wide teary eyes, as I did back to her.

(Back to 3rd)

Will wiped his eyes as he felt the tears come back again, Richie sat up against the wall and gently pulled the small boy into lap, Will immediately hugging him tightly while crying into his chest. Richie held him close, laying his face upon his hair. "Please don't...." Will said, his voice shaking. Richie nodded softly, pulling him closer.
They say there for a moment, Will then started shifted around so he could see the tv in the corner of his eyes, playing the movie. Richie glanced up at it and still held Will like his life depended on it.

So eventually both of them gently weept themselves to sleep halfway through the movie, neither of them dared to move. That was until Richie had fallen onot the bed side on but he still held Will.
