Friends Forever? Stan Uris x Richie Tozier

Chapter Nine: Birdwatching

Richie's POV
I sat down on the bench waiting for Stan to arrive.

I felt a tap on my shoulder.

I smirk and spoke in an accent "Ello there Stan The Ma-" I turned around to be greeted with an asthmatic chihuahua.

"Hey" He says weakly, not making eye contact.

"What do you want Edward?" I ask annoyed, giving him a dirty look.

He shrunk "I was just wanting to say sorry..." he looked at my face and panic filled his eyes. "WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO YOU?!?!?" He grabbed on to my face and started to examine the wounds

I push him off. "Non of your business, and apology not accepted. Now please, leave." I state in a clam tone.

He sighs and leaves.

I take a deep breath trying to relax. What a dickhead, who does he think he is treating us like shit at one moment then the next apologizing for it, only to treat us like shit again!

Flashback

"Hey Eds! Want to hang out with me at the arcade later?"

He looks at me and scoffs. "Why would I want to hang with a f@g like you?" He starts to walk away from me.

I grab his arm gently "Hey, dude that's not true, why are you acting like this?"

He turned around and yelled "I'm not your boyfriend!!! I have a girlfriend you creep!"

I let go and started to back up, now having everyone around staring directly at me. Out of the corner of my eye I see what every person fears.

Henry Goddamned Bowers.

Back to the present

I heard snapping and a distant voice.

"Hey Trashmouth! Snap out of it!"

I shook my head and smirked "Sorry Stan I was thinking of your mom" I chuckle at my own joke.

Stan smiles and shook his head. "You're an idiot..."

"But I'm your idiot" I say sweetly.

He laughs shortly and puts his hand on my face. "You wish, now shall we continue on what we came here to do?"

I nod and pat the spot on the bench next to me, he sat down and pulled out his binoculars.

I rested my head on my fist and watched him as he would smile every time he saw a certain bird or would quickly turn his head to spot another.

"Why are you staring at me creep?" He says still focusing on the birds.

I start stuttering and began trying to come up with an excuse.

"Dude chill I'm messing with you." He smirked, and pulled out a book about birds scrolling through the pages till he found the right one.

I sighed in relief.

"Sooooo, any new birds?" I ask trying to sound as interested as possible.

"Yeah, it's called yourmom" Stan started laughing, and so did I.

"Smooth Stanel very smooth" I said between laughs. I hold his shoulder for support.

We start to calm down after awhile and we decide to go get something to eat.

We headed down to a fast food  place and we both pitched in to buy a pizza.

"Why don't you come back to my place after this?" I ask him.

He shrugged then his eyes lit up. "Aren't your parents coming home tomorrow though?"

...Well shit...
