❤ Lover Boy ❤[Reddie]

Chapter 11

Richie's POV

YESSS! HE SAID YES! I can't believe it! What am I going to wear? What is he going to wear? How am I supposed to match him if I don't know what he is going to wear? This is going to be a long afternoon.

I told my dad everything. Not about the part of me asking Eddie to the dance, but instead said that I asked the losers if they were going and that they said yes and I have to go out and buy an outfit for it. I'm gay, not an idiot.

We went to the store and went STRAIGHT to the suits. Get it? Straight, because I'm not- you know what nevermind. I tried on almost absolutely everything. Until I found the perfect one. It was black like most, very comfortable and easy to move in and dance in. And under it I wore a white button-up shirt, leaving the top button unbuttoned, just for effect.

"Sooooo... do you like it?"

"I... LOVE IT! IT IS PERFECT IN EVERY WAY!" I go over to my dad and hug him really tight.

"Thanks, dad."

"You're welcome bud. Let's hurry up and get the suit, buy it, and get home before your mom throws a fit."

"Good call."

We got the suit, and we drove into the driveway. I am so happy. I get to wear this amazing suit and show it off for Eddie. I wonder what he's going to wear... it doesn't matter. He will look good in anything he wears. I don't know how he does it.

I got to my room and dropped my garment bag next to my bed and texted Eddie.

Trashmouth🖕😏: Heyyy I got my outfit for the dance tomorrow. You?

Eddie Spaghetti🍲😋: Same! Let me guess. Black suit?

Trashmouth🖕😏: How did you know?

Eddie Spaghetti🍲😋: Because, I just know you, Richie. Are you going to show me what you are wearing?

Trashmouth🖕😏: Nope

Eddie Spaghetti🍲😋: Why not?

Trashmouth🖕😏: 1) It's a surprise! I want to look good for my Spaghetti! 2) Because I said so.

Eddie Spaghetti🍲😋: 1) Sweet but don't call me that 2) Okay, have it your way. I'll do that exact same to you Trashmouth!

Trashmouth🖕😏: Fine. See ya tomorrow!

Eddie Spaghetti🍲😋: Love ya Rich!❤

Trashmouth🍲😋: Love ya Spaghetti!💕

I turned off my phone and dropped it next to me. God, I love that boy so much...

Time skip to the day of the dance

Richie's POV

I got home after school and dropped my bag on my bed, and grabbed my garment bag which contained my suit. The dance was in a 1 and a half!

Before I could make it to the bathroom, my mom called me. She sounded... drunk. I got downstairs, and for some reason, she had my phone which I could've sworn was still in my pocket. "Care to explain why you are saying 'i love you' to a BOY!"

"Mom, all of our friends say it to each other. It's fine!"

"But in your group chat you didn't say I love you ONCE to anyone else."

"Well, that's because I say it to them in person, Eddie not so much because he isn't allowed to go out as much as the rest of the losers."

"Bullshit! Oh, wait until I tell you what I found next..."
