Richie x Will (Ryers)

{30}

an: this one is especially long just for all of my attractive readers
you included.

eight months. eight months it took to fall in love, to feel at home, to feel appreciated.
Richie and Will lasted longer then anyone thought, it was amazing though because together they both got through shit, the bullying, the homophobia, the small arguments, together they were strong and nothing could break their  bond.

it was prom day. everyone was excited, sending out cheesy love letters, setting up proposals and other stuff like that.
Will was at his locker putting away his stuff for the day as the last school bell rang, he was greeted by Richie with a pair of arms wrapping around his waist hoisting him up, "cheeee!" the small boy giggled, "what are you doingggg." Richie lightly spun him around before letting will stand once again, the small one was kissed gently, they both laughed softly, "you ready for prom night Byerss?" Richie teased, "I thought you hated the idea prom."
"yeah but I wanna go with you," out came a bright red rose, Will looked at it in awe and couldn't not smile at it, the rose was tucked into his hair, "it'll be fun. just me, and you, looking both sexy dancing to slow music with pretty lights."
"okay okay you dork, I'll come."
Richie sat his hands on Will's waist swaying with him like the idiot he was, Will smiled shaking his head letting his hands go to the taller one's shoulders, their foreheads were pressed together softly and each boy was lost in the others.
it was like they both held a spell for one another, neither could resist the other's but it was so mesmerizing and lovely even if they wanted to, they couldn't.

love. a terrifying yet also exciting concept everyone wants, whether it's wanting to love someone for them as a person, to love an animal for simply breathing, or to be loved for every dip, roll, curve, imperfection, flaw to feel appreciated by one special person. to want to hold them every time you're afar from them, to want to kiss their stupidly gorgeous face whenever they do something that turns your heart into molten lava. everyone wants love and whether it's platonic, romantic or sexual, it is always there.

the afternoon for the boys was... interesting.
they decided to meet at the dance and surprise each other.

{Will's side, not his pov}

for little Byers he had torn apart his older brother's closet for a suit, of course Jonathon was not at all impressed with the mess but anything for the baby of the family.
eventually after searching, he found a nice white button up shirt, black dress pants accompanied by a leather belt with a silver buckle, and on top was a purple vest and bowtie, he ran to the bathroom and sprayed cologne on himself.
his mother walked past giving him a comforting smile, "you look very handsome will, is Richie your date?" will nodded as he placed the rose gifted to him earlier into his shirt, he smiled at Joyce as she walked out to the living room.
Will looked back at himself in the mirror, everything was perfect.. except his hair. he hated it, the stupid bowl cut, he sighed quietly before his hazels eyes set on a pair of scissors next to him.

grab them grab them

maybe it wouldn't hurt to try..?

~m e a n w h i l e~

Richie spent at least half an hour putting in his contacts, glasses were gonna become a pain so he worked up the courage to do it, once he was finished he did up his tie before adjusting his tie.
"lookin mighty fine baby." he said to himself in the mirror pointing finger guns having a wide grin. "no that's not how I'm greeting my boyfriend."
he let his hands glide over his now slick backed hair with baby curls at the bottom saying hello, "you look absolutely sexy- god I'm going to hang with the devil."
"beautiful baby byers, now that is the cringiest shit I have ever said and I have said many stupid things."
"damn I wanna put a ring on that." biting his lip awkwardly he looked away from the full body mirror, "that sounds horrible, you know- whatever comes, comes, I'll be cumming- god beep beep fag!" Richie cursed to himself, would bringing protection be the safest option??? it is prom.. in case maybe.
that's not gonna happen, Richie avoided that with will mainly because of his own insecurities.
a different night.

ik im sorry, TW// VIOLENCE ANDSLURS. WEIGHT IS MENTIONED IN NEXT PARAGRAPH

walking down stairs his mother looked over at him drunk, "finally with a girl?" her words slurred slowly, stumbling to her feet Maggie stumbled over, "or you still fuckin that retarded fag.."
hearing that caused Richie to freeze in his tracks, "mom.. I'm.. going with friends, no dates needed." is what he managed out, despite him lying it was good enough for his mom to believe.
Maggie rolled her dark eyes, it's where Richie got his from, she slapped him hard across the face with the empty bottle in her hand, thankfully it wasn't hard enough to break but it was hard enough to make Richie fall over with a small puncture on his face.
he whimpered at the force and pushed himself up back to his feet, Richie walked out the door ignoring that he had blood slowly leak out of the side.


Will had gotten to the dance, he stood growing impatient by the minute waiting for Richie.
he was lost in his thoughts until Greta had walked past stopping looking to where will's eyes went, which was at the front doors of the gym.
"you know he hates dances right? wouldn't at all surprise me if he had stood you up." she spoked with a menacing giggle that sent an eel to swirl down around Will's spine, "he wouldn't.. Richie isn't like that." he stated as the small pride he had inside was slowly ripping, like setting flames to a piece of paper and watching it curl in on itself as the edges turn into charcoal.
"you sure bout him byers?"
"yes."
Greta scoffed as she turned to  walk away, she leaned over to will's ear and whispered, "he's only feeling sorry for you cause some boy's got a little more then the rest. all he wants is what's underneath dahl." finishing that she left will to sink deeper and deeper into his though process.

he wouldn't he wouldn't he wouldn't he doesn't like me for only that, he isn't like that, im sure he loves me, but does he? what if she's right what if he's been playing me-

they got caught off again when his shoulders were grabbed, his widened eyes stared at the boy in front of him, a black button up shirt that had a red rose like tie hang from, complimented with black pants and a belt, "Richie.. you look amazing.." Will looked up then saw the blood, he took Richie into the bathroom and got some toilet paper to run it under the water.

when Richie arrived he caught a glimpse of Greta talking to will, he knew it wasn't a good thing. but holy shit.. will is breath taking.. he moved effortlessly through the crowd grabbing his shoulders pulling him out of a bad trance, Richie looked at him with those sparkly eyes and before he could say anything he was dragged to the bathroom.

Richie leaned against the wall as Will gently wiped the blood away, "y'know byers.. you look absolutely stunning tonight." he finally said, Will went red but he still didn't look happy, Richie knew Greta had gotten into his head, "will what did she sat to you."
Will let out a sigh dumping the now bloodied clump of tp into the nearby bin that was full of plastic wrapping from food and a few scattered butts from cigarettes.
"she told me you had stood me up.. and that you only cared about what's underneath," he muttered, "that isn't true is it?" Will's hazel eyes looked into his boyfriend's eyes almost screaming for the answers he begged and loathed for.
"baby." Richie gently cupped his face, "i'm here right now, i haven't stood you up." will chuckled a little at it, "and you know i am never going to take advantage of you, i don't want to do anything that hurts you or makes you uncomfortable." richie placed a kiss on his forehead softly, "do you think im bigger then everyone else,,?" he barely spoke though richie heard it..
"will no.. even if you were bigger i would still love you because there's more to love! i dont care if you lose weight- actually depends how and how much of it because i dont want you to starve yourself, but i dont care if you get a little bit of chub, you're my partner, i love you for you will."

an: someone say that to me irl also i give up with spell checking n fixing my mistakes

those words almost bought tears to will's eyes, he hugged his boyfriend tightly as he was rewarded the same action. they stayed like that for while until richie spoke up, "your hair really suits you by the same, guess there aint no bowl to hold my snack in." he chuckled, will let out a soft bit of laughter, he had cut his own hair with the scissors in the bathroom.
it now sat a bit shorter then the bowl cut, it was layered nicely and now he had a side parting fringe.
"i did it myself, and i have to admit with your hair pushed back and with those contacts in i get a perfectly good look at your handsome face."
richie draped his arm around his tiny baby of a boyfriend leading back out to the gym that was decorated with streamers falling from the ceiling, party lights and music going off, "thank youu, i spent seven years trying to put in contacts, i hated it."
"you look beautiful chee."
"as you do too baby byers."

throughout the night it was heaven. they danced together all the night, drank the non alcohol punch there, laughed with the losers, snuck out into the secluded halls to make out.
it was perfect for both of them.
will forgotten about what greta had said and focused on the best person that has ever come into
his life. richie fucking tozier.

as the losers sat around laughing and chatting up a storm a slow song starts to playout. 
ben glanced over at beverly, her hair had been attempted to be straightened but it failed, she wore a black v cut dress that would flow out at the waist, she had on perfectly applied black lipstick with a nice dark brown eyeshadow that made her diamond eyes stand out fantastically, "hey bev.." ben said with his round little face flushing with a strawberry red, bev moved her attention to him, "yeah benny?" she smiled as if she knew the question, the poor flustred boy stumbled over his words a few times until he had asked her for a dance.
she gently grabbed his hand and stood up, her heels making her taller then she already is before leading him to the dance floor, mike gave him a proud smile with the thumbs up as ben looked back with a happy face that screamed, did you guys see that?!

stan glanced up at bill, he nodded to the hallways as if he was asking for a dance in private, they both left to go slow dance in the company of themselves.

will and richie made eye contact, richie extended his arm towards will flashing him with a bright smile, "wanna dance pretty boy? and if you are okay with it, do you want to come out?" will's jaw dropped a bit but it came back into a wide smile, he grabbed his hand.
the two made it out to the dance floor.

every breath you take...

they stopped in the middle as all eyes on them, small muttering was heard amongst the crowd but together they fought off their demons telling them to retreat back.

every move you make...

richie sat his hands on will's waist gently pulling him close but not too close, will blushed darkly laying his arms onto his shoulders, "i'm scared rich.." he admitted, richie gave him a comforting smile, "it's okay.. if we go down we go down together."

every bond you break...

will slowly moved closer towards richie as he felt the judgement reek off of everyone who stared and glared, richie could see and he took a deep breath, if it happens it happens now.

every step you take,

leaning in carefully richie muttered, "is this okay will?"
"just kiss me."

i'll be watching you.

they kissed.
in front of everyone, they kissed.
it was long it was romantic, it was terrifying.
gasps came from the crowd, some people muttered slurs and comments but neither richie or will pulled away, richie smiled and started to chuckle, after a while they parted both giving each other loving smiles, "let's get out of here." will suggested, richie nodded, with that they left, ignoring everyone else, it was richie and will, not anyone else.


leaving the gym they both started laughing, will's heart was still thudding against his chest in a way that didn't cause him to heave and panic.
"that was awesome!" he exclaimed, "that was scary but fuck it felt amazing." richie said with a reliving sigh.
making their way out to the football field they laid flat on the grass giggling like idiots and holding hands.
"fuck, i love you rich.."
"i love you too will."
"forever?"
"always."
richie gently pulled will closer laying his head on his chest, laying there the couple enjoy the calming silence, the stars above them shining bright and bold, just like they did in the gym tonight.
after moments pass will says breaking the silence, "do you promise it's you and i rich?"
"yes will, you're mine and i am yours, i promise to love you through every high and low, to never give up on you, to never let you go ever." richie turned to look at will with a smile, will did the same, the two shared yet again another loving kiss under the stars, richie shifted so he was hovering above will so it wasn't awkward for neither, richie placed his hand gently on will's cheek, the two melted and leaned into the kiss, will couldn't help but smile against his lips.
the kiss slowly came to an end, they pressed each other's foreheads together, both falling into the other's eyes, "I'm so happy with you."
"as am i."
getting interrupted, the security guard caught them from a distance, he flashed his torch at the two grabbing both attention, "you two! get back here." the pudgy security guard started walking towards them, richie sprung up grabbing will's hand running off, "you will never catch me alive petey!" he called out in a sing song voice, "god damnit tozier!"
will's laugh filled the air as the two boys in love ran off into the night.


what a life ahead.
