We're Finding Home

Stan opened his laptop to search for larger houses in new york, he wanted an even amount of price for each so it was even. His laptop started buzzing it was a video call from the group, he answered.
"Stannnnn"Richie yelled into the mic,"I already regret answering" Stan said with no emotion.
"Hello Stan" Bill voice rang through the speaker " Hi Bill i'm on the plane right now"
Stan announced.Bill smiled wide at his announcement, Stan was glad he was happy he was coming still,Stan usually had doubts about if people really had liked him or not, all he could hear when he left a room was how much the people inside had hated him.His plane would land in a few hours but that gave him time to catch up on house finding so far he had found a few but they wanted to be in NYC or Brooklyn and shit was hard to find there."Oooooh this ones a bit high on budget but it's got 11 bedrooms and 14 baths plus rooftop with hot tub and pool and a good kitchen and it's right near the empire state building" Eddie suggested, "Pricing? Bev asked "98,000,000" Eddie replied " That's a bit spendy it would be let see" Stan took minute to work out the numbers in his head "14,000,000 each" "it's an option but let's keep looking" Mike said the losers nodded and continued. " Hey guys this one is 67,000,000 and has 7 bed 8 whole baths plus 3 powder rooms and a private roof garden" Richie said proudly " 9,000,000 each isn't that bad" Eddie said calculating the numbers.They spent many hours looking but settled for a house in Brooklyn,7 beds and 8 baths and a good backyard space plus some extra features  which would be good for them, listed at 11,200,000  which meant about 1,600,000 each. " okay i've asked the real estate agent to make the call and make the deal" Richie announced through the phone., "alright guys my plane is landing so i gotta go i'll see you guys in a bit" Stan hung up, " Alright g-guys St-Stan is Landing which means I have t-to h-h-head to the airport so b-bye" Bill hung up as well. Stan was so excited to see Bill and catch up on everything! Bill felt the exact same way. Stan had landed he took his suitcase and left the plane, he searched around trying to find Bill as he made it out of the gates. "STAN!" Stan turned and there was Bill standing with a smile on his face ,Stan ran and hugged him " Bill man, it's good to see you" Stan said into his shoulder, he pulled back, " So what is first on our agenda?" Stan asked " S-so m-much" Bill said and smiled at Stan, he was so happy he was here.

Stan had gotten to Bill's home, it was cozy and open, Bill and him had made tea and were sitting in his backyard."So this place is amazing " Stan laughed "Yeah i'm going to be s-sad to se-see it go but i'm e-excited for the m-move" Bill looked in the distance "me too it was shocking that Richie had that good of an idea" Stan said sarcastically,it made Bill laugh at least. " so R-Richie and Eddie huh?" Bill asked Stan "Yeah i guess we all kinda knew it was gonna happen though I mean it's Richie and Eddie" Stan said, Bill laughed again he couldn't stop laughing with Stan around, Stan made him happy.Bill though about the ritual that brought him back something he loved, did he love Stan? yes of course but enough to bring him back? the real question was, Did he love Stan like Richie loved Eddie? Bill was so confused his mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and feelings, yeah he may have liked Stan non platonically for a while but no matter what the thing said, he didn't love him, loving takes time and work, you can't love someone right away,you have to work through it. Bill set down his cup, puzzled but sure, he liked Stan, not loved, liked."where shall we go for dinner Mr. Rich,Smart and Famous" Stan asked grinning " Well I do b-believe there is an nice cafe about 10 m-miles from here and nobody k-knows all about it s-so it's usually a bit e-empty which means we won't get b-bothered" Bill said " let's go" Stan got up and Bill lead him to the car, they were off for the restaurant.

It was a nice small place, not to big, the menu had a range of diner food on it,including all day breakfast.Bill really hoped Stan liked it, it was one of his favorite places to go, because of the atmosphere and the food was amazing. "so what do you recommend?" Stan asked Bill, " Blueberry Pancakes here are delicious without fail every time" Bill replied"But if you want something non breakfast related the ruben sandwich is amazing" He continued "mhm" Stan nodded. "Hi what can I get Y'all today" A waitress walked up to there table "Water and a Ruben Sandwich, Please" Stan smiled and nodded handing her the menu she gestured towards Bill " I'll have the blueberry pancakes and a sweet tea, Thank you" Bill handed her the Menu. "It's really nice in here, it's nostalgic" Stan said looking around at the decor that was around " It's my f-favorite place to go, in m-many of my books" " it's a place  in many of your books almost all of them if not all that's why people think your books are in a connected universe because his diner is featured in ever one with a different name " Stan finish's for him " you re-read my b-books?" Bill asked now he was nervous Stan read what he had wrote, did he like it? " yes it's the few horror books I could read, they always felt familiar and like I could understand the author more, guess I know why now" Stan said " well you probably h-hated the endings like everyone d-did" Bill laughed looking down wait for Stans critic " No actually I liked them, they were realistic and rememberable" Stan smiled at Bill. Bill was over the moon Stan had liked his endings that was more important than any criticism he had ever gotten " I'm g-glad, all of the l-losers have characters inspired b-by t-them and I didn't even notice when I wr-wrote them until I saw all of y-you" Bill shared " Oh? tell me more" , Bill rubbed his neck " S-so we'll start with R-Richie, his character would be "Jared Andrews"  he's a c-comedian but he's r-really bad,he can only find a few people to laugh at his j-jokes, and he voice a-acts.Then there's Ben  w-who was " Matt Tucker" Brave  m-man who helps in time of m-most need and is so f-f-fucking nice to everyone no matter what he often needs r-reassurance that the people around him like h-him but everyone does. Then  Bev " January Liz"  wife to Matt Tucker later on, but thats not her only trait, she's a s-spitfire but she also very r-reliant on her friends , they keep her st-steady.Then  Mike " William Butch" He lives on the outkirts of t-town and knows all about everything, he doesn't really get out much but he has his f-friends who he cherishes and l-loves deeply. Eddie " Dr.Mallon Andrews" Yeah he's a d-doctor and one of the best of his k-kind, married to Jared Andrews his loving h-husband, he's the person who l-laughs at his husband jokes, the m-most educated on any i-illness you can think of, but he needs s-sometime forgets that he's his own pe-person and can do what he wants and b-believes is important but he's working on it.And the theres you, " Alex Meyers" S-sarcastic and True, very loyal and s-smart, he l-loves animals of all k-kinds, he's a z-zoologist so he c-cares for ev-everything, he l-loves his fro-friends and he s-sometimes w-w-worries they don't l-love him b-back but they al-always and f-forever will l-love him" Bill finished " wow you hit all of us right on the head,ill" Stan looked at  Bill smiling. They ate and paid the check and headed home in the car as Bill pulled into the driveway Stan said this " do you ever think we will find someone new besides our old wives" Bill parked the car " w-well yeah if w-we find someone we l-loved as much as we did them I b-believe that is  possible" Bill turned to Stan " And say you had already found that person would that be okay" Stan looked at Bill ' I mean y-yeah I suppose y-you should make s-sure y-you love them t-that much, so you l-like  go out and stuff" Bill was worried, Stan had already liked someone else and Bill had already missed his chance, as per usual. Stan looked at him quiet for a while, they didn't dare break the silence or the stare, Stan cleared his throat and took a deep breath " what if that person I like was you"Stan  stilled, he didn't dare moved as he waited for Bill's response. Bill's mind was fucked, " what if the person I like was you" oh, oh. In a split second the stare between them was broken and the peace that was once there was gone because Bill didn't know what to feel and Holy fuck
