The year is nineteen ninety three. Eddie is popular, kind, loved, and very pretty. Richie is nerdy, loud, funny, and very awkward. But these boys do have one thing in common. Skateboarding. Well, maybe two things in common. In which Richie has been smitten since freshmen year, but Eddie's never glanced his way.

Also on my AO3: @eduardo_andleletsgo Title is from Matilda by Harry Styles "I'd much rather be in my apartment right now, curled up in a ball on my couch, eating greasy pizza whilst watching Ru Paul's Drag Race." Richie states and Ben just stares at him for a second before saying," we're all scared, dude, we're all petrified. I understand how you're feeling to an extent. I don't know what life has been like for you, Rich, but whatever you saw today, you can overcome it- "I can't!" Richie interrupts with a finality in his voice that makes Ben jump slightly, not having heard the tone used by the comedian before.

Reddie oneshots, slash, literate.

"Thank you doctor Kaspbrak."
