Friends Forever? Stan Uris x Richie Tozier

Chapter five: The Arcade

Richie's POV
I make my way off of the Uris property and pick up my bike, I get on it and start slowly riding around the neighbourhood.

"What the fuck was that about? What is so wrong with me?" I scoff, then sighed.

I might as well make my way to the arcade, maybe that will ease my mind.

I step into the arcade, and see my favourite game, Street Fighter. The only problem is someone was playing it I sigh and decide to watch him play.

He aggressively pressed at the buttons mumbling curses. Then finally he won.

"Fuck dude, you are really good. Mind if I join you?" I ask pulling out a token from my pocket.

"Sure, Uh, My name is Conner." He said with an outstretched hand.

"Call me Richie." I quickly shook his hand. "Are you ready to get your ass beat?" I chuckled and so did he.

"You're on!" He grabbed the joystick and we started to play.

After a few games Conner nervously looked at the clock.

"I should go now" He took a step back.

"C'mon just one more game?"

"I, I ran out of tokens" He tried to step further and further from me.

"I have another you can use that!" I dig in my pocket and pull out the last token I had.

Then it quickly dawned upon me of why he was trying to get away from me when a familiar voice spoke.

"Richie fucking Tozier!" I turn and face Henry Bowers.

Fuck.

I ran out of the arcade as fast as I could, and Henry followed behind me, slowly getting closer.

I tripped and fell. And Henry took this as a invitation.

"Any last words f@g?!" Henry shouted on top of me.

"Go blow your dad" I say through huffs of air.

Instantly I got hit which knocked me out.

I wake up and look around. I have clearly been out for a long time since it is now dark outside. I get up and dust myself off. I felt a sting in my head.

Just great, this is just what I need.

I walk home and go into the bathroom. I check the mirror to see my face covered in cuts and bruises scattered across my face.

I roll my eyes and lay in bed looking at the roof of my room.

"Night Stan." I say under my breath. Then fall asleep, with a smirk on my face.
