"Happy biiiiiiiiirthday, Siguuuuuuurd!" Ethlyn greets in a sing song voice. She is, of course, glad she's here for many reasons but right now, she is particularly happy that she and Quan ended up in Fodlan before her brother's special day. She's been the one to bake him his giant birthday cookie for as long as she can remember. Even after she married and moved to Leonster, Ethlyn made sure to return to Chalphy each year to celebrate her big brother. Sigurd has never been a fan of cake but he always seemed to enjoy the giant chocolate chip cookie she made for him.

"You didn't think I'd forget, did you?" She teases as she offers the plate with the cookie. She tried to write "Happy Birthday Siggy" but the blue of the icing blended in a little too well with the cookie background. At least it wouldn't effect the taste.

he has to squint to see what she’d written on it, but that mattered not to him. just the mere effort and thought put into it was enough for him. he can imagine ethlyn trying her hardest to make sure it’s just right, and it warms his heart. “of course not.” sigurd cannot help but grin back in the same teasing manner as ethlyn does. “i know how stubborn you are about being the one to make my birthday treat every year, eth.” he tries not to think about how, last year, that hadn’t been possible. “i really do appreciate it though. do you wanna eat it together? maybe we can invite quan and eldigan too.” again, the thought that this hadn’t been possible last year rings annoyingly in his mind, making his smile look sadder than it should.

Not Me Without You: Chapter 1

OK so this took me like almost a month,I’m not finished obviously but i’m posting this in chapters because its Sooooooooo long. This was supposed to be a one shot, sorry.

summary: Today is Richie Tozier’s 16th birthday, he is assured today will be a good day by Eddie, but as he watches a speeding car heading straight for Eddie in the middle of the street, his thoughts on how his day would go quickly changed.

Pairings: Ben x Beverly, Stan x Bill, Richie x Eddie.

Warnings: Talk of suicide.

Chapter 1| Chapter 2

Today was Richie Tozier’s birthday. He was turning 16 but his parents couldn’t care less. He got up 1 pm just like any other summer day and walked down stairs to his mother asleep on the couch, probably sleeping off a hangover from the night before. His father as usual was at work, making money to feed his liquid poison addiction.

He walked to the kitchen and looked in the refrigerator in hopes of finding a birthday cake or even a small cupcake. But despite his expectations, nothing. He went back upstairs after seeing there was no more milk for cereal. he changed into some shorts and a white t-shirt. He could tell today was gonna be a hot summer day and he wanted to be as cool as possible.

The phone downstairs rang and he could here his mother groan.

“uuuuuggghhh shuuuuUUUUUUTTT UUUUUUPPP!!!!!” Richie's mother yelled.

“I’ve got it mom” he said. his mother went back to sleep hearing his comment.

“Hello?”

“Haaaaaaaappy Biiiiiiiirrrthdaaaayy toooooo yoooooouuuu” Eddie sang on the other line. Richie smiled at hearing his friend singing the not so familiar tune.

“Haaaaappy Biiiiiiiiirthday toooooo yooouu, Happy BIRTHDAY dear Richiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeee...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!” Eddie finished the song and Richie felt himself smiling from ear to ear.

“You remembered ed’s?”

“duh Richie, You’re my best friend why wouldn’t I?”

“Well I thought I would have annoyed you enough last year to make you forget.” Richie said this jokingly but with an undertone of complete seriousness.

Eddie laughed at Richie’s comment before explaining that he would never forget anything about his “good ol’ pal Richard Tozier.”

“Got any plans today?” Eddie asked. Richie rolled his eyes.

“Do i ever have any plans other than to hang out with the biggest losers in derry?” Richie joked. His friends weren’t losers, not to him anyway. He looked up to them in ways he would never admit. Bill for leadership, Beverly for bravery, Ben for his passion with the things he does, Mike for strength, Stan for his...well he didn’t really know but it was something, and Eddie for his caring and Nurturing personality.

“meet me at the corner store by my house, I have a surprise for you.” Richie smiled and said ok. He walked out the door and thought to himself about how he thought today was gonna go. probably like every other birthday, little get together with the losers and a few presents. A good night, maybe even the best night of the year if he had a rough one.

He was determined not to let anyone bring him down today. Hopefully this wouldn’t have to be the best day of the year, but if it was he was more than happy to be spending it with his best friend Edward Spaghedward Kaspbrak.

He started walking to Eddie’s little corner store. Once inside he walked around the store to see if he could find Eddie, but he was nowhere to be found.

Richie stayed in the back section of the store for about 2 minutes before hearing the echoing ring of a bell. He looked up over the short aisles and saw an anxious Eddie Kaspbrak. He seemed to be waiting, probably for Richie. He was looking out the window and messing with his hair.

Richie Finally decided to go up to the boy and tap him him on the shoulder.

Eddie turned around and looked surprised.

“What the-...how long have you been here?” Eddie asked. Richie laughed at Eddie’s reaction.

“Not even a minute ed’s don’t worry.”

“Oh ok, good. I thought I was gonna be here earlier but my mom was interrogating me so it took longer than I thought.”

“It’s ok Eddie, you know I’d wait for you until the end of the world.” Eddie blushed and Richie smiled at knowing what his actions could do.

“So what’s my surprise?” Richie asked excitedly.

Eddie made a guilty expression and looked at Richie.

“umm....about that..”

“you forgot it?”

“No um...my mom took my money because she said she didn’t want me to spend it on anyone unless it was myself and I already told her it was to buy you something.” All Richie could do was just nod. He hated the way his friends with normal-ish parents viewed Richie. Troubled, annoying, bad influence. And it wasn’t the fact that Eddie didn't get him a gift that made his next actions happen, it was the fact that none of his friends parents treated him like he was a good friend of their kids. He wasn’t told “you’re more than welcome to come over anytime you want” or “we love you like our own child” or “you are now apart of this family”. He was never loved by any other parents let alone his.

“I’m really sorry Rich...it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have sai-” Eddie was cut off by Richie’s cracking voice.

“its ok- *coughs* It’s ok ed’s, really you couldn’t help it” Richie’s eyes quickly took on a glossy look and he felt a small pain crawl up his throat. He quickly suppressed his urge to cry. It wasn’t a thing that Richie did willingly. Nobody in the Group had seen Richie cry Except Eddie and Stan.

Eddie had found him sitting at the top of the ledge they usually jumped from into the quarry. He stood behind him for a few seconds preparing himself for what might happen.

Eddie sat next to him and saw him looking out onto the water, tear streaming down his cheek. “nobody cares...” was the first thing Richie said.

Eddie knew not to say anything, just to listen. Sometime the worst possible thing you could do to someone who vents to you is to tell them a solution to their problems, instead of letting them be upset.

“I could jump right now into the shallow end and if i died, nobody would care.” Eddie knew not to speak but his urge overpowered his will to stay quiet.

He hated seeing Richie sad. There was a few times that Eddie caught his friend off guard but he was never crying. He instinctively put his hand over his friends to comfort him.

“I would.”

Richie looked over at Eddie. He didn’t smile, he didn’t make any facial expression. He just stared at Eddie. The smaller boy didn’t know what to do so he just smiled.

“You have me...I’m Eddie spaghetti remember?” Richie took his glasses off, still looking at his friend.

Eddie wiped away Richie’s tear. “I know we aren’t really that close Richie but...I care. I always laugh at your jokes whether I show it or not.”

“from now on, your pain is my pain. No more acting like you’re ok when you’re clearly not, no more crying by yourself, no more being miserable by yourself. If you wanna be miserable then come be miserable with me.”

Richie gave Eddie a small smile. He pulled his hand away from under Eddie’s. Eddie thought he had weirded out his friend, but Richie ended up putting his hand in Eddie’s.

“You know i never thought you liked me all that much Ed’s”

Eddie laughed and gave Richie a playful punch on the shoulder.

“Richie I tried not to like you, believe me. But the thought that someone the polar opposite of me could be feeling the same things and thinking the same thoughts gave me hope that I could have an actual friend.”

Both the boys smiled and Richie finally had hope that he could actually be happy again.

Stan saw him cry whenever they watched Beaches. And at first it was funny because Stan was secretly crying too but whenever Richie was crying, it seemed way too intense to just be from the movie. Stan let Richie cry on his shoulder for about 20 minutes after the movie ended. He comforted him while hearing his sobs, feeling him shake, seeing him let out so much emotion at such an opportune moment that ended up lasting longer than he hoped. after Richie was finished he looked up at Stan.

“*sniff* thanks...don’t tell...please.” Stan nodded his head and they never spoke of it again. Stan may have always acted like he didn’t like richie but they were actually pretty close before he started getting closer with Eddie. After that they kind of drifted from each other. Richie always regretted leaving stan in such a bad way, it felt as if he had just cheated. But he never thought about it too much seeing as stan acted cool sometimes despite the light insults and common eye rolls.

Eddie grabbed Richie’s arm as a way of comfort.

“Hey, remember your pain is my pain.” Richie nodded and rubbed his eyes a little bit.

“It doesn’t matter what my mom thinks about you tozier, it should matter more what I think about you.”

“And what do you think about me?” Richie asked playfully.

“I think you’re a pain in the ass.” the boys both laugh before Eddie continues his sentence. “But you’re a pain in the ass I can’t live without.”

Richie looks up and puts his hand on his chin.

“hmm so you need me to give you pain in your ass in order for you to live? i guess if it depends on your life ed’s, I’m doing this for you.” Eddie punches his arm hard but he’s not strong enough to hurt Richie that bad.

“shut up trashmouth you know what i meant.” the boys laugh and leave the store with nothing in their hands.

“we’re going to the quarry until late tonight so we could celebrate.” Richie gave a half smile towards the ground. He was honestly so appreciative of his friends and the way they cared for him better than anyone who was supposed to, actually did. He always wants to hang out with any of them because they made him feel happy. sometimes even the happiest he’s been in a while.

“Ok. Hey let's cross the street right here i want some ice cream.”

“k” was all Eddie said before pressing on, not bothering to wait for his friend.

“I’ll catch up I gotta tie my shoe”

Eddie nodded and pressed on. He was almost to the middle of the street when he heard his watch start to beep.

Time to take my pills. He thought.

He took a long blue capsuled assorted box out of his fanny pack and had some trouble opening it. When he finally did open it, it was with so much force that it caused him to drop almost half of the pills on the road.

Crap

He bent down to pick up his pills with his back against the oncoming traffic side of the road. Richie looked up after hearing a pop and saw eddie bend down to pick up his pills.

“Dude! Get out of the street Eddie!” Eddie looked behind him for any oncoming cars but saw nothing.

Eddie continued to Pick up his pills, slowly, putting them back in the boxes they’re supposed to go. Eddie felt like he needed his pills despite finding out that they do nothing for him because he isn’t actually sick.

about 10 seconds go by and Richie is just watching from the sidewalk hoping he doesn't see a car come from behind eddie.

*Crash* *Screech* Richie turned his head to the left and saw a wreck in the middle of a stop light. Eddie and Richie both sighed in relief.

Richie looked back at Eddie as he continued to pick up his assorted pills. Richie looked behind him and saw a car coming from behind eddie.

“Get out of the street!” Richie yelled.

“I’m almos-” Eddie didn’t get to finish his sentence before he heard a honk and then screeching tires come from behind him. He stood up and looked behind him and saw a car coming faster than what seemed like a speeding bullet.

He closed his eyes tight from instinct thinking it might not hurt as bad if he doesn’t see it happen. He felt a heavy impact on his side and pain surged through his whole body when he hit the ground. Everything was moving in slow motion. He felt the wind through his hair as he was flying to the ground and he felt his body hit the ground slowly before feeling immense pain.

He opened his eyes, expecting to see blood, broken bones, possibly even nothing.

But to his surprise he didn’t see any of that. He opened his eyes and saw Richie laying above his body. He heard Richie breathing hard, Eddie just stared at the boy on top of him in shock.

In a desperate attempt to speak, Eddie opened his mouth. But the only thing that came out was a small croak. He had almost died.

I should have died. I saw the car almost hit me, I closed my eyes for not even 3 seconds, how am I alive?

I should be dead...

“Eddie?” Richie spoke in an attempt to get his friend out of his shocked state.

Eddie looked around and then back at richie, his vision slowly fogging up before releasing a single tear.

Eddie’s bottom lip begins to quiver and he puts his arms around Richies neck and pulls himself up into a hug. Richie uses one one arm to hug eddie and uses the other one to support both of their weight

“I-I’m dead...” eddie says into Richie’s shoulder.

Richie pulls away and looks into Eddie’s eyes.

“No Eddie, your-...you’re ok, look” Richie gets up and points to the road.

He kneels down next to eddie who is now sitting up.

“See? No blood, no bones, no Eddie. You’re right here.” Richie gently pushes his finger into Eddie’s chest.

Eddie looks down, sees his intact body and feels his face for any broken bones.

“What happened?” Eddie asks.

“I pushed you out of the way” Richie responded.

“So-So I didn’t die?”

“No. I promise.” Richie said comfortingly.

He stood up, towering over the boy and held his hand out for Eddie to grab.

Once he had a hold of Eddie, he pulls him up.

“Hey kid are you alright?!” The man in the speeding car asked. He had gotten out of the car while Richie was talking to Eddie.

“Uh- ya I-I think so” Eddie replied.

“Good! next time don’t stand in the middle of the road, I almost totaled my car because of you!” Eddie looked at the man with a mixed expression. Half confused, half upset.

Richie looked appalled. He was about to go off on this stranger who almost killed his best friend, but was interrupted by Eddie.

“Excuse me!? This road right here” Eddie pointed down the way the stranger came. “Is completely straight for another mile back.” Eddie stated blatantly. “If you would have hit me, it was because YOU weren’t paying attention dumbass!”

Richie looks back at Eddie with an astonished expression.

“Yeah well-...” He was tongue tied. Both Richie and Eddie saw the mans face fade into a shade of red that could only be caused by stubbornness.

The stranger stormed off in a fit of rage, not wanting to accept the fact that he was wrong. He got in his car, closed the door, and drove off recklessly fast.

“Don’t worry about him Eddie, I’m just glad you’re okay.” Richie adjusts his glasses while looking at Eddie.

“C’mon let’s go to the quarry, forget about the ice cream I’m sure everyone else is waiting for us right?” Richie asks. Eddie just nods his head in response.

The boys walked to the quarry from the unfortunate pit stop they made. Richie glances over at the unusually quiet boy right next to him, wondering what was going on his head. Eddie notices his friend sending looks his way but ignores them. He was too busy thinking about how the rest of the day would have gone if he had been hit by that car.

“Do you wanna tell the others? About that guy i mean.” Richie asks. Eddie doesnt even look in his direction before shaking his head. He knew it would take away the focus from the day that was supposed to be all about Richie. He didn’t want to do that to his friend. Little did he know that Richie couldn’t care less about his birthday. The only thing that made those days special was his friends, more importantly Eddie.

When the boys arrived at the quarry they were greeted at the top of the cliff by their friends.

Richie smiled at the sight of all his friends together in one place specifically for him. However when he looked over at Eddie, he saw the boy looking off into space with a blank expression until Mike came up to him and greeted him. He noticed Eddies face make smiling and happy movements, but he could tell Eddie didn’t mean a single smile he put out. Eddie wasn’t trying to let Richie know he wasn’t happy. This day was all about him, not Eddie.

“Hey trashmouth, we got you a birthday cupcake, see?” Bev pulled a white frosted sprinkled cupcake from behind her back and put it in front of Richie.

Richie grinned, what looked like, from ear to ear. He loved birthday desserts.

“W-We’ve gotta light it fi-first.” Bill managed to get out. “Did an-anyone bring a lighter?” he asked.

“Oh, I did!” Ben said. He went to his backpack that was sitting against a rock and pulled out a small lighter. Nobody knew it but the reason he had a lighter was so that Beverly would always ask him to light her cigarettes. He knew she would always remember he had a lighter, he didn’t find smoking attractive unless Beverly was the one doing it.

Ben went back up to Bev and gave her a small glance before stroking the small thumbwheel, causing a flame to rise.

Once the candle on the cupcake was lit, the group started to chant the lyrics to the “happy birthday” song.

“Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Richiiiiieee, Happy Birthday to yoooooouuuu” they all sang in unison including eddie. Richie occasionally directed his gaze over to Eddie who was also singing. He didn’t seem to be looking at Richie though, it seemed as if he was singing along instead of to Richie which hurt him a little bit.

Once they were all done bev said, “Okay make a wish Mr.16 year old!”

Richie Blew his candle out after thinking

I wish something in my life would finally go my way.
