After what seemed like weeks of waiting the Losers would finally be together in their new home. "So I was think we could have a small party tonight just us 7 chilling maybe we could play a few games or something, like a housewarming but just for us." Bev suggested " sounds great " Bill said, as it was already afternoon , the Party was about to start." Hey Bill are you sure you wanna have the Party tonight man?" Mike asked Bill "Yeah,why?" " oh nothing your voice is just a bit raw and out thought you may have gotten sick or something" Mike explained, Stan choked laughing on the orange juice he was drinking."oooooh Lets play Truth or Dare" Bev suggested as she walked in the room with shots " yes" all the losers agreed except for Richie.Richie still hadn't told them anything and truth or dare was scary, they could find out everything with one question and yeah,sure he could lie but Eddie had an ability to know exactly when he was lying and he may still have that skill now,either way Richie didn't want to find out. It was too late to decline however because now the losers were sitting in a circle like middle schoolers spinning a bottle full of tiny papers with dares and truths, they spun the Bottle and it landed on Stan, " Oh God, fuck me" He picked up the piece of paper which he had shook out of the bottle and unfolded it " Dare: Recount all the people in this room you have kissed, you must kiss the ones that you haven't yet" Stan read aloud " well this is awkward, I guess we move on " Stan went to spin the bottle. " wait, wait, wait, stop moving there, you mean to tell me you are saying you've made out with all of us?" Richie asked, he had known he had made out with Stan once but the Others ? Maybe him being the way he was wouldn't be so bad maybe they'd understand? " Okay raise your hand if you've made out with me" Stan asked and all the losers slowly put their hands up, they all looked at each other shocked. "Would you like me to recount with each of you" Stan asked shaking his head, " Um yes" Bev nodded and all of them nodded with her." okay so we'll start with Eddie, we kissed when we were like 14ish Eddie was going through a thing and wanted to test a theory, Richie I kissed you at like 17, we were at a party and you were drunk and ranting and then outta nowhere you decided to test something and then said " didn't feel the same" and walked away" Stan noticed when he said that, there was a light tint to Eddie's cheeks. " Ben, 20 It was college and we were really tired and drunk at a party, you thought I was your at the time girlfriend, I don't know how, and as much as I hate to say this I am 90% sure we made out" Stan said shaking his head at the memory " 2 hours" Ben said They all turned their head towards him " We made out on that couch for 2 hours before I realized it was someone else and not her, I didn't know it was you, I don't remember well as I was really drunk at the time but it took me a while" Ben finished hiding his head in his hands. " woahhhh Stan the man getting the hunk of the group, jealous Beverly? I know I am" Richie leaned on ben " Beep Beep Rich" Eddie said scowling. " Bill, it was at graduation, in a moment of adrenaline and happiness you kissed me as we threw our caps, Bev, 13, you went to kiss my cheek but I turned by accident and kissed you, it was weird since you were with Bill, Mike we were like 16 and at the farm, we were watching birds and we both turned to point out one and our closeness and timing was little bit to spot on." Stan finished recounting and spun the bottle.
It landed on Eddie " Truth: when was the last time you thought about kissing someone?" Eddie shook his head " Oh fuck, this is bullshit, 20 minutes ago" Eddie finished and spun the bottle quickly, if you spun the bottle before anyone asked a question you didn't have to respond and it was clear Eddie did not want to. This time it landed on Richie, " Dare: Tell the person to your left a compliment about their eyes" Eddie was to Richie's left, Richie turned and looked him in the eye,"your eyes are very um nice?" Richie said, " wow Rich you wanna sound more sure bout that?" Eddie asked while rolling his eyes , "fine then I'll give you a complement, I like your eyes because your emotion shows with them, they say eyes are the windows to the soul and your soul must be fucking amazing because they are so pretty and soft and you can tell when your angry or sad because whenever you are they get like this little change in them, its like rain and fire combining and when you look at them, you get passionate about something when you talk about it and they just shine like the fucking sun and they're just really nice" Richie breathed out "oh,um thank you" Eddie said quietly.
Richie spun and it landed on Ben "Truth: Have Richie ask you a truth" Ben rolled his eye " what was it like to see Bev again?" Richie asked " Um well it was pretty cool, I didn't really remember that much but I just remembered how I felt around her and how important she was to me so I just tried to project those feelings into protecting her as much as I could" Ben said awkwardly and Bev blushed at the revelation and then looked to Bill.
Ben spun the bottle and it landed on Mike " Group Truth, what does that mean?" Mike asked "we all answer "Bev responded " Who was the first loser you had a crush on?" Mike read, Richie panicked, he hadn't told any of the Loser about his secret and it was Eddie and he still had a crush on Eddie, he couldn't do this. "I'll just come out and say it, It was Mike" Stan said, All the losers looked at him puzzled "yeah I had a crush on a boy, I'm Kinda Gay, is that okay with you guys?" Stan asks shying away from the group a bit "Why wouldn't it be okay with us?" Ben asked " yeah um I'm pretty sure half of us are a little bit gay including myself" Eddie said laughing nervously "wait,wait,wait let's clarify, who in this room is a bit gay raise your hand" All the losers slowly raised their hands except Richie, He couldn't move, he was sweating uncontrollably, sure they had all said something but if they knew about him would they slowly piece together about Eddie? "I know your secret, your dirty little secret, should I tell them Richie ?" The stupid clowns voice echoed in his head and in that moment he made a decision,he raised his hand high, screw the motherfucking clown." well now that we've establish that, continue with the question, mine was 100% Bill" Eddie finished, " Stan, but he was too much of a little bitch " Richie said, 'Bill, we know this" Bev said, "Bev" Ben confessed although it was obvious " Stan" Bill said looking at Stan slyly and Stan fucking winked at him, "Mike?" your last up to the bat " Richie asked "Ben" Mike answered and spun.
This time it landed on Richie" Dare: Pretend you and the person to your left are on a date and propose" Richie turned, fuck the person on his left was Eddie, Richie froze. " Oh for fucks sake, just do it, I didn't leave my wife to stood up by you" Eddie said laughing and giving his hand to Richie. " Oh okay um were actually doing this, Ed's, Edwardo, Eddie my Loving,Darling, Dear, Love of my Life, you are my forever loved, my number one, I want to love you for entirety so please, will you marry me?" If he was fake proposing might as well go all out, Eddie never would know that all he was saying was the truth anyway. He watched as a tint raised to Eddie's cheeks, "Chee, My sweetheart, Yes" Turns out Eddie was going full in because as him and Richie were holding hands and Richie pretended to put the ring on, he grabbed Richie by the collar of his shirt and kissed him. What.The.Fuck. Eddie was kissing him,this was Richie's Dream but he has to remember it was fake, it didn't mean anything. Eddie pulled away an examined the imaginary ring on his finger, " oooooh Very good choice Mr. Kaspbrak" Eddie said smirking at Richie, " Um excuse me Kaspbrak, no no no, You are Edward Tozier"Richie said in a joking tone they started to bicker on their last name as a married couple. The losers watched in amusement as this went down they knew Richie and Eddie acted like a married couple but now it was for sure, goddammit why couldn't they see that they clearly liked each other, they had just kissed for god sakes.
As the night went on the losers were getting more tired and unbelievably Eddie and Richie were still arguing over stupid shit. Richie spun the bottle while still arguing with Eddie, It landed on Eddie, He picked out his paper " Dare: Get a Dare from Mister Uris" , " I dare that You and Richie can't act married for the rest of the week" Stan said sipping his drink, " whats in it for us" Richie asked " we'll make a bet, the longer you last the higher the bet gets, 3 dollars for both of you per each day you two stay in the act, break it for a second and the bet ends" Stan said, " Deal" Richie and Eddie agreed, they were rich sure but it was more of a pride thing."That was the last Paper and means the games is over" Bev announced.
"Now rules for this bet, You must act married in public unless absolutely not able to, you must act married at all time here, you must stay in the same room, sorry Eddie, this are base rules" Stan told them, " ugh but I guess, Im gonna go shower than go to bed now" Edie headed up the stairs, " Gotta use the same bathrooms too" Stan yelled up the stairs, he could hear Eddie groan, Richie followed him up and went to rest in his and Eddie's room for now. As soon as Richie got upstairs and the rest were sure him and Eddie couldn't hear them,
"so who's betting on how long they will last in this bet ,also who's betting they'll be together by the end of it" Bev asked
