Next morning

Eddie POV:
I stretched my arms out, yawning. Then I realized no one was beside me.

"Richie?" I sat up on the hammock, but he wasn't there.

"Wait, the stuff is gone." I checked my watch and it was 12:30pm, I woke up late.

"Hello?"

"Hey Ed's." Bev came down, how'd she know I was here?
——

"Where's Richie? What are you doing here?"

"He told me to come."

"Why..?"

"Because he needed help with something." She giggled. "You should get dressed, I brought you some clothes." She tossed him a pink polo shirt and some shorts.

She climbed half way up the ladder, "Hey Eddie, make sure you check that piece of paper in the bag."

"Bag? What bag?" He looked around and saw a plastic bag sitting on the ground, then Bev was gone.

Eddie POV:

"The fuck is happening..." I got dressed and went through the bag. Streamers and balloons? I then saw the slip of paper, it read "rock fight."

"Hmm?" I hesitated for a moment then walked out of the clubhouse. I went to where the rock fight was and saw a red balloon just sitting there.

Immediately my heart started pounding and things just started coming back to mind. "Oh hell no.."

"H-hello?" I stuttered and looked around. I walked closer to the balloon and saw a note inside. A paper clip clip was attached and I popped it then took the note.
^anyone know where I got this?

"R + E"

I smiled and ran to the kissing bridge, and there was another balloon. I popped it open, "I tortured you."

"Huh..?"

"Oh I see, that fucker." I laughed and ran to the quarry. Another balloon was spotted and my skateboard was right next to it. "After a year."

"Whatttt?" This time I was confused. I picked up my board and just skated around until I realized. I just smiled to myself and skated to where I met Richie after a year. Technically when I saved him; at a park.

——

After awhile of finding balloons and going places Eddie finally found himself back at his apartment.

"Hello..?" He walked in, but it was too dark to see anything.
-
"Dad? Richie?" I walked into the kitchen and turned on the light.
-

"SURPRISE!" The light turned on, and Richie, Bev, and his father shouted.

Eddie screamed obnoxiously, "WHAT THE FUCK YOU GUYS?!!"

There was a cake, with writing on it, and a couple balloons and streamers.

"What is this?!" Eddie smiled, walking closer to them. "What's the occasion? It's not my birthday." He made eye contact with a smiling Richie.

"Eddie, will you be my boyfriend..?"

"WHAT?! Wha- Obviously!" He laughed.

He chuckled and ran to him, Eddie jumping into his arms.

"But we've only been on two dates. It hasn't even been that long." He chuckled.

"Too bad I couldn't wait any longer, and I officially claim you mine." He giggled.

"We're still here." Bev laughed. "Right." Eddie blushed.

"You really did all of this for me?" He looked up at Richie.

"Of course." He pinched his cheek, "Want some cake? I got red velvet."

"Ooh yes!"

"Congrats you too, and you guys never have to worry I'll always support you."

"Thanks dad."
——

Eddie sat in Richie's lap, Bev across from them.

"So are you guys gonna tell the others?" Bev popped another piece of cake in her mouth.

"Nah, I want to see them figure it out."

"Wait does Ben know?" Eddie asked.

"No, but he definitely suspects something."

"You guys didn't have to do all of this, you know.. the cake, balloons."

"Oh come on Ed's, I agree it is much but..you know..."

"Richie I'm not upset." He laughed, "I just didn't think I meant this much."

"You both need to appreciate yourselves more." Bev said.

"Still workin on it." Richie laughed.

"Holy shit guys!! It's raining!"

"What's special about that?" Eddie raised an eyebrow.

"Oh come on, don't you guys like dancing in the rain?" She chuckled, "come on!"

"Wait we could get sick!"

She snatched his hand and ran out, Richie grabbed the speaker.

They danced up and down the streets, laughter filling the air. Richie running in circles with Eddie on his back. The three of them holding hands and jumping in puddles like little kids.

Bev turned on 'I wanna dance with somebody.'

"This song Bev really?"

"What's wrong with it?" Eddie looked at him.

"W-what, n-nothing. I like it." He giggled.

Eventually, the chorus came on and the three went crazy.

"OH I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY!!" Bev and Eddie shouted.

Richie grabbed his face, as the two sway side to side. "I WANNA FEEL THE HEAT WITH SOMEBODY!! Richie sang, making Eddie blush as the two kissed.

As the song came to an end, Bev obviously had to sing obnoxiously. "WITH SOMEBODY TO LOVE MEEE!!" She shouted, spreading out her arms, breathing in the cool air.

As Richie and Eddie kept dancing, Bev looked in the distance and her mood completely changed. She spotted Bill and Stan under an umbrella walking in the rain. She sighed and walked back to the two, with a smile on her face.

"What's the next song Bev?" Eddie laughed.

"You guys pick." She grinned, her eyes then met the ground. Eddie noticed but decided not to ruin their moment.

(I'm Sorry for the short chapter, also I had a storyline and now it's kinda messy. Again. That's why this took forever, but I'll keep this going I haven't done much)
