Worst Of You

No. 12

AN: FUCK- I'm so mf sorry guys for such a delay on updating stories, I didn't really have time after I came back from Sydney and I'll make sure to update more frequently

School felt quick to end and honestly, that's a good thing. Richie all day, everytime he was around Stan, he blushed, getting shy. In maths with Bill and Stan, Stan kept playfully teasing him which made him get flustered very quickly.

Richie stood out the front of school waiting for someone to show up. Bev flashed Richie a smile walking over to him, "You planning to ask him out this afternoon?"
"Maybe a different day, it'd be weird for us to be dating on the same day that Bill and Eddie started." Bev raised an eyebrow, "Are you procrastinating?" Richie shook his head but it changed into a nod, "Yeah I am, I really am." He admitted.
"Dude stop, just do it already."

"Bev I don't wanna loose him, if his dad finds out-"
"His dad can get fucked." Bev and Richie just stared at each other, "Look, if you don't do it now you'll regret it later. Ill see you at the quarry." With that, she walked away.

Richie zoned out immediately, but got caught off when Stan rocked up, tugging at his pants and almost wincing at something, "You okay Stan the man?"
Stan looked up at Richie flushing red, "Yeah! Just- fell.." he muttered, Richie sighed to himself knowing it was a complete lie. But he wasn't gonna force it out of him.
Stan straightened himself up a little, "Hey I was wondering if I could go to yours, my dad would kill me if you were at mine and I need help with maths. Plus you're probably the smartest when it comes to stuff like this." He chuckled, Richie gasped putting his hands up across his face and spreading out hit fingers, "Stanny thinks I'm smart? Oh I would have all the pleasure in teaching you Stan.~" 
"You're an idiot." Stan rolled his eyes playfully, they both started walking along side each other, "I know, and you love it." Richie gently nudged his arm winking. Stan gave him a smile, but he knew something was... different. Richie was more touchy.
Oh well.

When the gay duo made it to Richie's house, they both went into the bedroom straight away. But Richie stopped in his tracks hearing something come from his brother's room, which made his face turn red. Either Stan was deaf or was oblivious, but when Richie walked to the door and knocked loudly yelling out, "Y'all better shut up or else I'll be louder!" He finally clicked that Cameron had some girl over.
"Sorry about him." Richie mumbled going inside to his room sitting on the bed. Stan closed the door and laughed a little bit, "It's fine." He sat on the bed giggling a bit, which made Richie look at him in awe. "Right, well... what is it you need help with?"
"Oh well I just don't get math. And I just need you to just dumb it down for me."
"I'm surprised, you're smart too with maths."
Stan smiled softly, "Well thanks."
They started on the homework, and it was just as any other day with these two. Random hurts of laughter, playful fighting, occasional bickering. Until Richie sat up serious for a moment, "Stan." The whole vibe just changed in matter of seconds, just from how blunt and shallow Richie said his name, Stan cleared his throat sitting up looking at him. "Yeah?"
"What was it you were going to say, don't play dumb you know what I'm talking about."
Stan sighed, "I knew you were going to ask about it." Richie crossed his arms a little bit looking at him. "When we were in that room, cuddling, you were as drunk as anything.. Do you remember anything at all?"
"All I remember is that Danny kissed me and you pulled him away, then the rest is just nothing really." Stan nodded, "You said... you said that you loved me. And you have loved me for years, ever since we were little kids."
Richie went red, fuck.

I didn't want this to be the way he found out. Fuck. Should I lie? No then if I actually confess he'll be confused, and if I say I like him now, there's a possibility he'll say no! But Bev said he likes me... But she could be wrong-
