Poinsettias - Reddie

Group - Chapter 4

there's so much dialogue in this chapter i m s o r r y

Richie started panicking, Viki's breathing quickened but she tried to stay calm.

"Maybe he just... wanted some more flowers! I'll go check," Viki breathed and Richie nodded, staring out a window.

Viki ran down the stairs, holding onto the banister tightly so she doesn't trip. She was worried too but Eddie would usually run off at times if he was embarrassed. The Poinsettias were his only escape he told her. She sighed and spotted him walking back to the house, smiling while a bunch of bright red flowers were clutched in his hands.

She burst open the glass doors and ran up the the boy. "Eddie, what the fuck, we thought you were dead you whore."

Eddie rolled his eyes. "I was scared, Vik." he defended. Viki looked at him that clearly transferred a you fucker look.

"Richie is scared shitless," Viki said and Eddie immiedely regretted ever running off.

"Is he okay?!" Eddie asked with fear in his eyes and he dropped the flowers onto the ground.

"No, he's not," Eddie pushed passed Viki and she stumbled over, only glimpsing his hand vanishing behind the door.

"Don't even know why I'm here..." she mumbled and started walking towards her house. "Gotta support my gay child."

Eddie rushed up the stairs to find a crying Richie.

"Rich!?" Eddie breathed and Richie jumped up, glad to see the brunette.

"Oh my god, Eds!" Richie said and Eddie stood awkwardly. "Where were you?"

Eddie sighed as he heard Richie get up and stand in front of him. He was so much taller than him.

"I... uh... bathroom?" he said with a high pitched voice, not knowing if Richie was going to believe his pathetic excuse.

"...okay. Well. I'm going to eat, don't scare me again, dipshit." Richie said and ran past Eddie.

"DON'T YOU DARE MAKE COOKIES WITHOUT ME YOU-"

The three teenagers were on the couch, watching a movie while eating their cookies mindlessly. They didn't know what to do and since Viki was only there because she had to, she made sure to distance herself from the two boys. Eddie knew what Viki was doing and kept giving her glares but she grinned and turned her head back to the movie every time.

"I'm going to get a drink, I'll be right back, children." Viki said while she jumped out of the couch.

"I'm older than you-" Richie started but Viki cut him off.

"Oh my god, shut your ass up please?"

Richie blinked. "Nope."

"No hot chocolate for you then." Viki snickered and Richie gasped.

"Am I getting one?" Eddie asked and Viki nodded.

"How come he gets one!?" Richie exclaimed and Eddie couldn't help but laugh.

"Because you aren't in the group yet." Viki answered and Richie sighed.

"May I be in the group?"

Eddie grinned. "Sure, but you have to help Viki with her Poinsettias."

"Hey! I have to say yes, Kaspbrak!" Viki butted in and Eddie rolled his eyes.

Eddie looked at the purpled haired girl and she sighed, looking and Richie. She crossed her arms and bit her lip in thought.
