"It means I'm pansexual, but I'm mostly interested in guys."

"I guess neither of us are actually straight.. just not interested in each other."

"Bev truth or dare?" Eddie ignores the comment.

"Truth" Bev replies, happy to get on with the night.

"You're all pussys" Richie addresses the fact that no one has picked dare.

"You do know that you changed your answer just to try and hide that you are gay right?" Eddie scoffs at Richie, "You're all hearing this guy, right? You're the pussy, Rich."

"I have a right to be scared of being gay."

"Ughhhh ladies, ladies, you're both pretty, can we get on with it?" Bev sounds unamused.

"Sorry Bev" the bickering boys say in unison.

"So truth.." Eddie tries to think of something to ask,"Do you have a crush anyone in this room right now?"

"Yeah" Bev replied, as if it were obvious"Ok so truth or dare wasn't the best idea, it'll start shit like this" she points over to see that Stanley was hugging/laying on Bill and Bill was playing his soft, curly hair."And they aren't even dating yet, but it still makes some of us feel extremely single. But it's ok because it's cute and better than listening to Richie try and flirt through your mom jokes."

"Ok listen," Richie gets all defensive,"I know how to flirt and that's not how you flirt. I'm not trying to flirt with Eds, I'm trying to piss him off."

"I'm sorry what did you say?"

"J'ai dit que tu pouvais baiser, connard"(French for: I said you could fuck off, asshole)

"Wait what the fuck? Richie fucking Tozier learns a new language before any of the rest of the group?" Eddie looks upset but happily surprised at the same time.

"What? I was bored and desperate when you guys abandoned me one day"

"I'M PAINTING ALL OF YOUR GUYS' NAILS" Beverly yelled out of nowhere, standing up to grab her bag and the others watch in confusion until she takes out 5 nail polish bottles. One red, black, blue, purple, and pink."Who volunteers as first!!"

Mike puts his hand up, knowing no one else will raise their hand, and also wondering how it looks.
"Mike it is!" Beverly silently thanks him so she didn't have to choose someone herself. She walks over to him with the bottles in her hand, asking what color he wants to go for.

"I don't really know.. blue, I guess?" Mike answered.

"Excellent choice" and she started to paint with such a gentle touch and no brush strokes shown through.

When Beverly was finally finished, Mike and Bill had blue colored nails, Stan with red, Eddie and Richie had pink nails, Ben had black, and Beverly painted her own to be purple. "Well it looks good, if I do say so myself!" Richie says while he is admiring Beverly's work.

"Well, from the sleepovers I've been to, now all they do is talk about boys and watch movies. I know Stan would LOOOVVVEEE to talk about boys, oh sorry, a boy." she glares, yet also glimmers over at the spot that Bill and Stanley reside in.

(just little kisses here and there, nothing more. they are like 14 or 15 dudes)

"Jesus fuck guys, how long have you been waiting for this? You're attached to each other, and making me feel really single." Richie says dramatically, and as if on que, Eddie is laying his head in Richie's lap. "What the fuck Eds?"
