Richie x Reader IT Chapter Two

Chapter 13

We stood over the cliff of the quarry, I looked at the new sign that said NO JUMPING OR DIVING AT ANY TIME scoffed at it before hopping over the fence and walking towards the cliff , the others following as they took off their shoes and Richie shook off his buttoned shirt. Bev looked at me and gave me a weak smile before jumping in.

I looked towards the boys and gave them the biggest smile I could muster "See you down there boys." Before jumping into the greenish waters below. I felt myself relax a little as I felt the cool river surround me. I heard the rest of the Losers coming in, we all swam farther into the quarry and stopped as we all floated in the water in silence.

I ran the water through my hair as I tried to get the dirt out while Bev cleaned the blood off her body and the others washed there face. I looked at Richie as he washed the blood off his glasses and I held tried not to cry from how broken he looked. "You know what, Eddie would of hated this guys." Ben spoke hoarsely, I glanced up at his in confusion as Bill asked "What? Cleaning our selves in dirty water." Bev laughed and agreed "Yeah, he'd be telling us we'd get streptococcal something." Bill chuckled and the group smiled at each other, I tried to also but failed as I struggled to not let the tears fall. "Yeah, but he would of made us laugh though." Mike spoke softly as the laughing quieted down.

"oh yeah." "He'd be looking out for us. The way he always was" Bill and Bev agreed and I nodded as I was finally able to speak "We would of been dead years ago if he did not have his doctor skills." Ben smiled and Bill turned to Richie "Ain't that right Richie." 

Richie was silent for a moment before letting out a sob, I immediately swam over and gave him a hug "Sweetheart.." I mumbled and the rest of the Losers came and hugged him as he continued crying. I held my hand out to him and he grasped it tightly as the Losers held him closer. 

He sniffled as he looked at all of us "Thank you." I gave him a soft smile before he continued talking "I don't have my glasses on...so I don't know who you people are but thank you." We all laughed and my smile grew, happy that the old Richie was back. 

"I legit can't find my glasses." "Ugh Richie." I sighed as the rest of the group asked if he was serious. We all split up to find them, as I was about to go underwater somebody grabbed my arm, I looked up to see a squinting Richie.

"Y/N... wait this is Y/N right?" I laughed "Yes this is Tozier." He smiled and pulled me into a hug. I sighed as I melted into the hug, needing it desperately after all the shit we had to go through. He let go and looked at me, well tried to. "Richie, I know how you felt about Eddie, just know that I will be here for you." I spoke softly as I held his hand once more, he gave me a weak smile and I gave him a kiss on the cheek.

As I was about to go looking for his glasses he grabbed me and pulled me into a kiss. I was shocked but leaned into the kiss as he held me close before letting go. I looked at him in surprise and he mumbled "I was sick of all the kiss on the cheek bullshit you were giving me." 

It was silent for a moment before I started laughing, almost falling into the water as I tried to catch my breath. Richie smiled and shook his head at me before we heard a ehem, we turned and saw Mike looking at us. "So, how long has this been going on." Richie and I turned to each other before I giggled and splashed Mike with some water "You have missed out on a lot Mikey." 

After we found Richies glasses we headed back into the Inn to grab our stuff, as we continued walking I noticed Bev looking at her hand and slowing down, "Guys." The rest of the group stopped and she showed us her hand, I looked at her confused before my eyes widened and I looked down at my hand, and saw just my bare hand with no scar. "dam..." I mumbled and Mike glanced back up "Nothing lasts forever." I smiled and turned towards a window that said DERRY is Calling you! And imagined us going back home after defeating IT so long ago

"I can't go home like this guys." Eddie snapped as he looked at his goo covered self. Richie rolled his eyes and turned to Eddie "Dude, you've been gone for 24 straight hours. Your face is definitely on a milk carton by now." "yeah man, your mother probably has the police force looking for you by now." I replied and Eddie glared at us as I sent him a cheeky smile in return. 

"Also that puke smell is worse than your moms slippers." Richie added and Eddie looked like he was about to punch Richie "Oh, shut up Richie." Beverly sighed and Eddie started his rant "Okay, first of all, my mom's slippers smell like potpourri, Asshole." "No they don't" Stan stated and Eddie continued his rant "Yes they do and also how would you know what they smell like in the first place?" "Okay first of all why do you know what your mothers slippers smell like?" I asked in disgust and Eddie glared at me for like the 30th time today. 

I walked, well more like limped alongside Richie as Mike sighed "Can we just keep it quiet, please, until we get home?" Ben talked about what potpourri and I shook my head and smiled as I looked at my group of friends, and I felt someone grab my hand and turned to see Richie smirk at me and squeeze my hand before turning back to argue with Eddie some more.
