Note: Ugh i just re-watched IT Chapter 2 and i forgot how sad the ending was, like Richie crying gets me every time man. Also, if you haven't noticed this series will include Bill x Stan so if you are not a fan of this ship then i'm sorry.

Previously-

"S...so, day off s..school. What do y..you guys want to d...do?" Bill smiled.

Chapter 20-

"We could go to the library?" Ben suggested, sitting up next to Bev and Mike excited at the idea.

"Any suggestions that aren't lame." Richie sighed, rolling his eyes at Ben as the boy sunk in disappointment. "Library's are fucking boring Ben, plus someone might spot us there."

"Sorry Ben but Richie has a point, if someone spots us we'll be in big trouble." Bev smiled, rubbing Ben's back. "How about the Quarry?"

"Nah, it's miserable outside we'll just freeze out there." Mike let out, glancing out the window watching the rain hit the window. "Beside's, we have to pass some of our houses to get there."

"Sounds like there's nothing to do." Stan sighed, sitting next to Bill and leaning back in defeat. "Maybe we should just go to school late."

"Shutup Stan we're not doing that!" Richie snapped, sitting upright and glaring at Stan. "Come on, it's one day off it's not gunna kill us."

"W....well then what s...should we d...do?" Bill replied, now looking at Richie hoping he had some sort of an idea.

"Look, we can't go anywhere so why don't we just stay at mine for the day? Watch some movies, play some games. I'll go to the local shop and get a few snacks, i know the guy who works there and he won't snitch." Richie suggested, the others (to his surprise) agreed with him and they also agreed on having a pyjama day (to Eddie's dismay).

"I'm not fucking wearing these all day." Eddie shouted, looking down at his 'dress' making the others laugh. "Yeah, so funny!"

"Ed's come with me to the shop, put your old clothes on." Richie laughed, getting up himself and collecting a jumper and chord-trousers to wear. "Or you can wear that lovely shirt and show off them sexy le-."

"Shutup Richie!" Eddie blushed. "I'll go to the shop with you but only so i don't have to wear this!"

As both boys headed off for the bathroom to get ready the others began taking some pillows and blankets downstairs. Both Ben and Mike headed to the kitchen to make everyone a drink whilst Stan began laying the blankets out in the living room.

"Y..you and B...Ben are getting on w...well." Bill smiled, as Bev began rolling her sleeping bag up in the corner of Richie's room.

"You okay with that?" Bev replied, now standing up and meeting Bill's eyes. "I mean i know you and me used to..."

"Bev i'm happy if you're happy. Ben really likes you, if you like him back then go for it." Bill replied, seeing the blush form on Bev's cheeks.

"Thanks Bill. It means a lot and you know i still care for you a lot." Bev smiled, covering her cheeks with her hands. "Are you happy?"

"I think i have found someone who will make me happy, but i want to take it slow." Bill replied, beginning to blush slightly as well. "It's too soon to say and i don't want to jinx anything jut in case."

"Wow." Bev gasped.

"W...what."

"You didn't stutter once, this person must mean a lot to you." Bev beamed, knowing that it was only when Bill was certain and proud of something that his stutter began to fade more.

"Y..yeah." Bill uttered, turning around to meet the others downstairs. "Thanks B..Bev."

"Don't mention it Bill." Bev gleamed, following the boy downstairs to also meet the fellow losers.

Both Mike and Ben had finished the drinks and had placed them in the living room, along with some cookies they found in the cupboard. Stan had finished laying out the blankets and had already claimed a spot of his own, sticking the tv on and watching some nature documentary. Bill sat next to him and began sipping his hot-chocolate, whilst Ben, Mike and Bev sat on the floor together and began to play poker.

"Alright losers, we'll see you soon." Richie yelled from the hallway, now putting shoes on. The others simply mumbled a goodbye back. "Here, put this on or you'll get cold." Richie said to Eddie, handing him his raincoat.

"What about you?" Eddie replied, also putting his trainers on.

"Ed's i'll be fine, i got a jumper on." Richie chuckled, walking over to his boyfriend and putting the coat on him.

"A jumper is not waterproof idiot." Eddie blushed, now fully wrapped up and warm. "You'll freeze."

"Awww you worried about me Ed's."

"Shutup." Eddie snapped, pushing past Richie and opening the door. "It's on you if you freeze to death now."

"Make sure to visit my grave when i do die then." Richie laughed, shutting the door behind him as the two headed for the local shop. "Actually it is really fucking cold, wanna run there?"

"I fucking told you idiot." Eddie shouted back against the wind, the two began to dash down the street and round the corner where the local shop was now visible. It was early in the morning so the street lights were still on and there were no cars parked outside the shop - but that was also due to everyone being at work or school. As the two neared the shop their breathing became more steady and they were both sweating when they entered the shop, forcing Eddie to unbutton his raincoat.

"So, what are we getting?" Eddie gasped, reaching for his inhaler and taking a quick puff from it.

"Just some pizza, coke, cigarettes and alcohol." Richie smiled, reaching for a basket.

"Richie why the fuck do we need ciggerettes and alcohol?" Eddie snapped, turning his head to meet Richie.

"Well we don't need the cigarettes, i do." Richie laughed. "And i thought we could all have a couple drinks, might as well break another rule."

"Richie we are well underage!" Eddie gasped, utterly shocked that Richie had even come up with this idea. "No fucking way."

"Oh come on Ed's loosen up, we won't have a lot. Come on we're 15 it'll be fun, plus it'll take everyone's minds off of things." Richie smirked, trying to convince the boy. "Pleaseeeee."

"Fine, but i'm not fucking drinking any." Eddie sighed, watching the boy pick up a bottle of vodka and coke. "Disgusting."

"I know you are but what am i." Richie laughed, nudging the side of Eddie mocking the boy more.

"What are you five?" Eddie groaned. "How the fuck are you even going to buy that shit anyway?"

"I told you, the owner knows me well he won't care." Richie said rather smugly. "Come on, let's by this and get out of here." The two boys headed for the counter and bought what Richie picked up, to Eddie's dismay Richie was right and they were allowed to buy the lot. Derry is so dodgy, Eddie thought.

"Come on Ed's lets run back and surprise the others with my lovely gifts!" Richie shouted, as the two braced the wind and rain again. Both dashing back to Richie's laughing and splashing in the puddles on the way.
