"Let's go in."The 7 of the losers (plus Connor) were all at the cinema, ready to go into their room. The school day went slow but it finally finished and Richie and Connor met up after to get ready. They met the losers there.
"Yep, lets go," Mike spoke as the 8 of them made their way into the room to take their seats. Richie and Connor sat next to each other while the other 6 sat on the row in front of them.
"I hope i don't look back and see both of your dicks out," Bev joked as she turned to face the movie screen.
"Shut up Bev," Richie laughed as he felt an arm wrap around his shoulder. It was Connor's. Richie felt shocked but then calmed down, until he noticed Eddie staring back at them.
"You okay Eds?"
Eddie didn't reply, he just whipped his head back around to face the screen.
[30 minutes passed]
It was in the middle of the movie, Richie and Connor had been spending that time holding each other's hand and giggling the whole way through.
"What are you doing Connor?" Richie asked as he noticed Connor getting closer. His head was leaning in slowly until he felt their lips connect. It was a soft kiss, Connor felt his heart flutter but Richie couldn't say the same.
Their kiss was deepening, their lips were moving in perfect sinc. It felt nice and relaxing, until he felt Connor's hand push hard on Richie's upper thigh.
It reminded Richie of that night at the party, when Richie had no control over his body.
Richie quickly pulled away and signalled Connor to remove his hand, he did so.
"What's up," Connor asked. Richie didn't answer, he just tried to wipe away the images from the party out of his head. This was until he saw Eddie staring right at them both, his eyes seemed to be filled with fear. And anger. And, sadness?
As soon as Eddie realised that Richie's eyes were looking right back at his, he darted away. He quickly stood from his seat and left the movie room, Richie could see him struggling to unzip his fanny pack before he left through the door.
"I'll be right back," Richie spoke as he got out of his seat and rushed past Connor. But he was instantly stopped by a hand grabbing hold on his wrist. "Where are you going?" Connor asked.
"Go to the toilet," Richie replied as he yanked his arm out of Connor's hold and rushed out of the movie room. He went to check the bathroom, that's the first place that Eddie would go if he was having a panic attack or something.
As Richie reached the bathroom, he did see Eddie, but he wasn't having a panic attack. He was leaning his head against the wall, slightly whimpering.
"Eds?" Eddie's head darted around to face Richie, Richie spotted all the tears drops that were escaping from the boys eyes. "Holy shit Eds, what's wrong?"
"Nothing," Eddie replied quickly.
"Tell me the truth," Richie demanded. Then, he noticed Eddie walking closer to Richie. His face expression was filled with anger.
"You want the truth? Huh Richie? Well here's the truth," Eddie yelled in one breath. "It seems that you have suddenly ditched us for fucking Connor Bowers. What happened to us? We're becoming strangers to you because of that blonde haired boy that suddenly came into your life!"
"Am i not allowed to have other friends?"
"Friends?! You guys were swapping spit back there, you can't tell me he's just your friend!"
"So what if he is more than a friend?"
Eddie stopped and caught his breathe. He then looked back up to Richie and his tears were increasing. Sweat was running down the boys forehead.
"Why are you getting so jealous for?" Eddie gulped but then looked back up to Richie with anger.
"Jealous?? I'm not jealous! I- i just know he isn't good for you, he fucking outed you in front of Henry and Connor is reason for you getting beaten the shit out of that day!" Richie stepped back from the small boy, he felt scared. Too scared to be too close to the boy who had his fists clenching together as if he was about to punch him right then and there.
" He's different.."
"Really? He looked like he was about to fucking touch your dick back there," Eddie yelled, the yell alarmed Richie and made him stumble back into the wall. Eddie then added, "i wouldn't be fucking surprised if he's already done that."
Richie felt like crying, he felt like just giving up and letting his emotions out. But he couldn't, he wouldn't dare. He just sucked in all the emotions once more and defended himself. Something that he hasn't been able to do recently.
"Your one to talk! You got a fucking boner from me touching you," Richie yelled back. Eddie stopped and felt panic rush through his head. His body froze and he couldn't even make eye contact with the lanky boy standing in front of him, Eddie only slowly lifted up his hands. He aggressively pressed on Richie's chest and pushed him back so the boy fell into the wall. It didn't hurt too much, but Richie was still alarmed at Eddie's sudden violent act.
"Fuck you Tozier, you- you-"
"Fairy?"
"I wasn't going to say tha-"
"Yeah well you said it the other night. And maybe i am a fairy, but we both know that i'm not the only one," Richie spat out. He stormed past the small boy who was still frozen. Not making eye contact although, Richie knew that Eddie was still drowning in tears. But Richie didn't care. He felt angry.
"What the fuck is that supposed to mean," cried Eddie. Richie ignored the question, he just stormed past the doorway and let Eddie in the bathroom alone.
Eddie knew what he meant, but he didn't realise that Richie knew about what happened..
Richie may have bottled up his emotions. But he couldn't keep his anger in for any longer.
