❝Derry's gonna have to deal with us, Eddie. If they can't handle us being together, then that's on them.❞ ♚ In which Eddie and Richie haven't talked for awhile, but fall in love again. And now they have to hide it from the homophobic world.

The world is a dark place, Eddie. Without you it's even darker.

CURRENTLY ON HOLD - It's the summer before their Junior year in high school, and Richie is prepared for the best summer of his life. There's only one problem, he's gay, and 100% head over heals with his best friend, Eddie Kaspbrak, who's straight, right? What happens when drunken thought's turn into actions? How will they cope in a town that doesn't like change? And will the lucky seven ever really get past that dark summer of 1989? Read to find out! I am SO sorry, I'm terrible at intro's, but it's a good story! I Promise! Lot's of reddie, and some billverly and Stozier in the background. WARNING: LIGHT smut (they're both 17), lots of swearing, drugs/alcohol, blood/violence in later chapters, a little dark in some points
