78! 78! 78! For the fluff prompts part two?? I think you could make a reddie (or stoizer?!? your pick) fic outta that and it would be WONDERFUL

Hi! I already wrote a reddie prompt for this one, which you can read here, so I went with stozier this time! I hope you enjoy. 

78. I need you. Please stay

Read on AO3

Richie took one last drag of his cigarette before he was dragging Bev back to the party. They were walking up the front steps when the door to the house swung open and Stan stepped out. 

Richie's face immediately lit up. "Stanny! I was just coming to find you, did you miss me too much?" 

The moment the words left his mouth, Richie noticed something was wrong. Stan had taken off his Michael Myers mask, his last minute costume for the Halloween party they were in and now, Richie could see he was upset⎯ his face was pinched, his jaw clenched and his lips were pressed into a tight line. 

Before Richie could ask what was wrong, Stan was walking past him and Bev without even glancing at them.

Richie watched him walk away, feeling confused⎯ until Bev hit him in the back of his head and told him to, "Go after him, you idiot!"

Richie did, catching up with Stan just as he stepped on the sidewalk. "Hey, where are you going?"

"I'm going home, Richie." Stan said, his voice clipped. 

Yeah, definitely upset. 

"Stan the man, too cool for high school parties?" Richie joked, trying to lighten the mood but Stan only glared at him. His tone switched to concerned, "Hey, are you okay?"

Stan sighed, shoulders slumping. "Just go back to the party, Richie. I know you want to."

Richie shook his head. "Nope, you're wrong. Fuck that party, I'd rather walk my boyfriend home." He said, watching Stan's mouth twitch into the tiniest smile, like it did whenever Richie referred to him as his boyfriend. 

"You don't have to that." 

"Are you kidding?" Richie said, reaching tentatively for Stan's hand. He relaxed when, instead of shoving him away, Stan let him lace their fingers together. "It's Halloween, I can't leave you out here alone with all the crazy psychos!"

Stan snorted, hitting Richie on the chest with his plastic mask. "You're the only psycho out here."

"Excuse me, but out of the two of us, who is dressed as an actual psycho?" Richie quirked an eyebrow, flashing Stan a teasing smile. 

"Fine, but if we're being honest, Beetlejuice is a little bit of a psycho himself." 

Richie let out a laugh.

Unlike Stan, he did plan his costume ahead. It was Bev's idea⎯ she knew how much Richie loved the movie, the costume wasn't that complicated and hey, you already have that big forehead, she told him with a wink. She’d helped Richie find the clothes and helped with his hair, painting it green and styling it so it stood in all different directions and applied baby powder to his face to make it look paler than usual. It would probably be a bitch to wash off, but he liked how it turned out. 

"A bio-exorcist, babe. Have some respect." He winked and Stan rolled his eyes fondly.

They walked hand in hand, taking advantage of the nearly empty street and the darkness around them. Stan seemed more relaxed, but there was still a slight crease between his eyebrows. Richie wanted to know the reason behind that frown. Stan had been fine when he and Bev left the house for their smoke break. Sure, he was slightly annoyed that he was being forced to hang at that stupid party but the seven of them were actually having a good time together⎯ Stan hadn't even complained when Richie planted a sloppy kiss on his cheek before going outside. 

Now Richie was afraid to ask what happened. He knew if he said the wrong thing, his boyfriend would probably shut him out and that was the last thing he wanted, so he bit down on his tongue to keep himself from blurting out the question. 

"You're too quiet." Stan said after they had been walking for a while. 

"Yeah well, I just thought you’d appreciate some silence." 

Stan let out a snort. "I know you're just trying not to ask me what happened."

Richie scrunched up his face, Stan knew him too well. "I was trying not to be pushy." He said. "It's okay if you don't want to tell me."

"It's not that I don’t want to tell you, it’s just stupid." Stan started, staring straight ahead, face pulled into a frown. "When you left, a few girls dragged me and Bill to the basement to play some stupid game. When we made it down there, some asshole wearing a⎯ a clown mask jumped at us." Stan’s entire body was tense, fingers twitching in Richie’s grip. He ran his thumb over his knuckles, soothingly. "It wasn't even⎯ it didn't even look like, you know, like that but I just panicked. I felt like I was back in the sewers, alone and I⎯" His voice cracked. "I just needed to get out."

"Shit, Stan I'm sorry." Richie said softly when he finished. 

"Don't be ridiculous. It's not your fault, Richie."

He shrugged. "Maybe if I hadn't left, no one would have dragged you to the basement."

"You're not my babysitter, you're allowed to leave my side." 

"I was the one who dragged you to that party in the first place." Richie said, close to pouting.

"Yeah and I was having fun, with you and the losers. Shit just happens, I guess. Stupid shit."

Richie squeezed his hand. "It's not stupid. It’s the trauma, babe."

Stan huffed, shaking his head. "It's been five years."

"So?"

"So it shouldn't affect me like that anymore. And why is it just me? Bill was also in that basement and he didn't need to run out of there!" Stan said, voice rising in anger. They had stopped walking, Stan had let go of Richie's hand and now he was picking at the faint scars on his face, probably not even realizing he was doing it. "I just feel so stupid, Richie! That I'm not over it and all of you are."

Richie stared at him, bewildered. "You think I'm over it?" He asked in disbelief, Stan gave a noncommittal shrug. "Stan, dude, babe. I'm not fucking over it. I still have fucking nightmares about that summer. I still can't look at the Paul Bunyan statue without wanting to throw up. The other day, I saw a balloon and I thought I was going to cry." He shook his head, reaching for Stan's hand and forcing him to meet his eyes. "None of us are over it. We fought a fucking demon clown!" 

He was probably talking louder than he should considering they were in the middle of the street, but he hoped that if someone heard them they would write it off as Halloween nonsense. 

"I don't think we'll ever be completely over it,” Richie continued. “And that's fine. I think, I don't know. But you're not stupid Stan, just like I'm not stupid." He paused, considering it. "For that reason, at least."

Stan stared at him, Richie could tell the anger was slowly ebbing away, his expression softening. "I don't know Richie, crying over a balloon? That's a little stupid." He teased, lips twitching into a half smile.

Richie scoffed, glaring at him with no real heat, especially when Stan leaned in, closing the distance between them to give Richie a short kiss. “Thank you, Rich." 

He used his thumb to clean a bit of white powder that was left on Stan’s mouth after he pulled away. “All in a day’s work, Stan my man, all in a day’s work." Richie said with a wink, grabbing his hand again. "Come on, let's get you home."

When they arrived at the Uris residence all the lights were off, Stan's parents already asleep. 

Richie walked him to the door, giving his boyfriend a kiss goodbye. “I’ll see you tomorrow.” 

“Actually,” Stan started, grabbing his wrist. “I thought you could stay. Those nightmares you mentioned, I have them too, but never when you sleep here.”

“Aww Stan, are you saying that you need me to sleep well?” Richie flashed him a lopsided smile that quickly shifted into a slight pout when Stan pinched his arm and he feigned actual pain. 

“It’s not that I need you Richard,” Stan rolled his eyes, a slight blush on his cheeks. “I just want you to stay, so please stay.” 

Richie’s grin softened. “Yeah, of course babe.” 

Stan smiled, reaching up to brush back some of Richie’s hair. He scrunched up his face when he couldn't weave his fingers through it due to all the gel and paint that Bev used. “I don’t like your hair when it’s like this.”

"You know, we could take a shower before bed," Richie said, wiggling his eyebrows. "You can wash all this junk from my hair.” 

Stan sighed, shaking his head but when he grabbed Richie’s hand to drag him inside, he could see a playful smile on his boyfriend’s face.

━━  𝐅𝐀𝐍𝐅𝐈𝐂 𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓

It’s Lilia Barber ( @jaedenphy​ ) day and guess who’s making a fanfic masterlist for her?? That’s right, me! Okay, so I gathered together a bunch of fics I’ve read and considering that you’ve read the fics I sent you, some of these fics you’ve read before but are still godly. List under the cut for length purposes <3

My comments and reviews may contain spoilers and the ones without a specific chapter count are one-shots :)

The way making this masterlist made me reread the fuck out of so many fics smh

LAST UPDATED: 1 August 2020

Bill Denbrough / Richie Tozier

"Game Over, Bitch” by sweetpeacheddie | General

Richie plans a surprise date with Bill, but it doesn't quite go according to plan...

MY COMMENTS: smug Bill? yes. the Bill in this fic made me grin like an idiot just from how sneaky and attractive this little piece of shit is. Richie being soft and scared about Bill not having a good time is so adorable and the way Bill used it against him made me go jsjjdjsjd

Twister by @antisociallilbrat | Teen

Fluffiness, tongue twisters, and making out

MY COMMENTS: it’s short but still adorable idc idc. fics about love interests helping Bill with tongue twisters is adorable in itself and the flirting and the teasing in this fic made me scream from how cute they are pls

The Cruel Irony of Sunshine by @theflirtmeister​ | Teen

That’s when Richie spots him.

Leaning against one of the ridiculous fake palm trees, clearly not listening to the conversation he’s caught in, is Bill Denbrough in the fucking flesh. Richie could have picked him out from a hundred yards away, with his floppy hair, perfect eyebrows and jawline that could cut crystal.

Richie hates everything about him.

MY COMMENTS: the reason why i want to write bichie fanfics. the amount of angst and fluff mixed with longing and pining is godtier. the way they fell apart because of a fight and the first thing they do when they meet—after pining and longing mixed with anger—is fight made me cry :’)

Disciplinary Action by Apuzzlingprince | Explicit

He simply sat down on the end of Bill’s bed and patted a knee. Bill stared at him, uncomprehending.

“Bill,” said Richie, gesturing for him to come closer. “Pants down, over my knees.”

Bill balked. “Wait, s-seriously?”

Bill does something stupid and reaps the reward.

MY COMMENTS: i don’t think i’ve sent you this one because i remember i read it on my laptop instead of my phone lmao. this fic is the definition of “i’ll make it up to you with sex” fics but holy fuck this one is good. i remember reading this a while ago and yelling internally because wow this fic is so jsjsj

Dissolve by @wonderwheelzier | Explicit

After eight years of radio silence, Bill Denbrough finds himself at the same Hollywood party as his once best friend, and his first and only love, Richie Tozier. As adolescent memories come flooding back, Bill has to decide what he wants to do with this second chance.

MY COMMENTS: first off, the author is a brilliant writer so let’s put that out. second of all, this fic is 17K words long so that’s really fun. third of all, what the fuck? this fic is amazing and so well written, honestly. the way the pining and the smut were tied together wonderfully just blows my mind. this is such a pretty fic and the way the story ends with Richie leaving and BIll knowing that there’s no going back? that shit HURTED

If Your Love Was Bad for You by @perceabeth​ | Teen

Prompt: angsty unrequited type of situation with a happy and/or bittersweet ending.

MY COMMENTS: i gotta be real with you, i forgot about this fic whoops. but i read the last paragraph and i started heaving. i love this fic but i forgot the title and the way this fic started jsjfjsjf this fic is ends in a bittersweet tone holy fuck. the account on AO3 is an orphaned account, but i found the tumblr user of the author so here ya go

Soulmate AU by @perceabeth​ | Major Character Death

n/a

MY COMMENTS: i still think of this fic to this very day, this fic is the reason why i hate soulmate AUs oh my God. Richie and Bill’s dynamic isn’t too laid out in this fic, but the ending? God, the ending—absolutely wrecked me. I cried and I screamed and I couldn’t function properly after reading this fic. It’s one of the best fics I’ve ever read and deserves all the love you can give. I love this fic, I adore it, read it.

One Week Away by @trash-the-tozier | Teen | 2/2

School is out for spring break, and the Losers are taking a week long trip to visit Beverly in Portland. Could there have been a worse time for Richie to realize that he was in love with his best friend?

MY COMMENTS: I remember sending this to you but reread it. this fic is so soft and adorable my babies istg. Richie pining for Bill while Bill tried to stay away from Richie because he has a crush on him? God-tier trope. Put it in, roll it up, give it to me. The Stanlon in the background and Bev being the cheerleader she is? i love this

What We Built by @sinningtozier​ | Teen

each nail, each plank, the little scratches on the walls and the sloppily carved initials were a testament to them, a testament to their love and what they built.

MY COMMENTS: Soft boys in love that is all. The connections between kisses and hugs and the tears and pain was just adorable. Bill and Richie always being there for each other makes me smile and cry oh my God

Blood Brothers by @fairyling​ | General

bill and richie don’t say they’re dating but they kiss and they fight. their relationship isn’t one that the other’s understand or event try to.

MY COMMENTS: i read this fic once and i still cry about it <3 it’s just a really soft and adorable fic but then the ending made me scream and cry oh my God. Blood Brothers. The way Bill remembers vaguely even as all else fades away just hits hard. i love this fic so damn much and i think you would too

Eye On the Ball by @call-me-eds​ | Mature

Bill tries to cope with his role in his friend group and Richie can’t stand it.

MY COMMENTS: first of all, everyone say thank you to them for making Bichie Week and making fic hunting a gazillion times easier. Second, this fic is amazing i don’t care. the way Bill is so tight and Richie is trying to loosen him up is a concept that would first come to mind when you think of Bichie, but somehow I’ve rarely seen this put to work. This fic is amazing that is all

The Math Tutor by @sinningtozier​ | General | headcanon

georgie needs a math tutor, bill’s strong point is english not math, so his mom hire’s her coworkers son to tutor him three times a week 

MY COMMENTS: look, i know this is a headcanon but lol i love this so much. Bill is so awkward around Richie and i find that hilarious omfg

Like I Do by @thegreatwhiteferret​ | Explicit

Richie is feeling down on himself because of his ADHD and Bill jumps in and tries to teach him to appreciate all of his flaws for how beautiful they are.

MY COMMENTS: I’ve always been a sucker for Richie’s ADHD going feral and his s/o helping him calm down. This fic covers that part along with smut so bonus points on that

Bill Denbrough / Stanley Uris

Ain’t Eez-Eh by simplerplease | Mature | 17/17

Bill gets drunk, texts a number written on the club bathroom wall, regrets it, then falls in love.

MY COMMENTS: deadass the first thing that comes to my mind when anyone says Stenbrough. this fic is iconic and god-tier. I’ve read this a few times and I love it :’) if you haven’t read this fic... wow alright, cool. read it.

All My Little Words by jojenstarked | Teen

Stanley Uris never considered himself a jealous person. That is, until he met Bill Denbrough and suddenly he was jealous of the person getting songs stuck in his head.

Bill Denbrough had always wanted to meet his soulmate. Then he met Stanley Uris and he forgot all about them. All he wanted to do was get him to love him back.

Good thing they're soulmates.

MY COMMENTS: this fic is so adorable and so soft holy fuck i remember crying a bit after reading this from how sweet this fic is, i love this fic sm

More Like Baerista, Am I Right? by @billdensbrough​  | Not Rated

In which Stan is a fake black coffee drinker, Bill really shouldn't be a barista, and the rest of the losers just want them to get together without a counter in-between them.

MY COMMENTS: First off, this fic is 10K words long and contains slow-burn and a lot of pining so there’s that. Other than that, it’s really soft, adorable and fluffy. It’s just a really adorable stenbrough coffee shop AU, truly one of the best coffee shop AUs

Richie Tozier / Stanley Uris

Untouched (Need You So Much) by breathplayed | Explicit | 9/?

Stan Uris could’ve gone his entire life without knowing what Richie Tozier’s dick looked like.

(Or, Richie has a big dick and Stan the Man has a Big Crisis.)

MY COMMENTS: this is the abandoned fic i cried about the other day omfg i can’t believe i started an unfinished fic :’) but either way, this fic is so sexy and hot holy fuck, the pining, everything is godly. Richie singing a song for Stan and Stan being awkward about it?? amazing. last updated in 2018 and ends with a sort of cliffhanger, but still—

Stan My Man! Series by @birdboyinthedeadlights​ | Explicit | 4/4

n/a

MY COMMENTS: bitch you thought i wouldn’t add this fic on this masterlist when it’s the definition of goddamn iconic. you really thought i was going to leave the fic that pushed us both into the Stozier hole? as if. the was the Stozier friendship and dynamic is laid out is wonderful. The banters and the snark along with the lovely fondness is tied perfectly. i love this, you love this, we all love this, i’m dragging you back into the Stan My Man! series hole, you’re welcome <3

I Wanna Hold You Like You’re Mine by @birdboyinthedeadlights​ | Explicit

Stan's hand was moving before he could think better of it, wanting to touch the pleated navy skirt in front of him. God, it looked so soft, it must feel amazing. The whispered drag across his thighs -

“What’re you doin’?”

Stan’s hand froze, looking up at Richie’s unfocused gaze. No aide of glasses to let him see Stan’s heating face in the low light.

“Nothing.”

Richie’s eyes squinted, trying to make out the shapes around him until he looked to where Stan’s hand still hovered. The small inhale and grin let Stan know he didn’t need his vision clear to figure out what was going on. He always did know Stan too well.

“You’d look pretty in that.”

MY COMMENTS: Hello, yes, the author is so great at writing Stozier fics oh my God. The intimacy, the relationship, the pining, the need. Everything about this fic is brilliant. The way Stan wants Richie’s love and Richie wants to give Stan love but they’re both so afraid, so nervous. God, the way they dance around each other and when it’s time to take a dip, they were both to scared. Oh God, I love them so much and this fic ties the intimacy of pining and the ‘friends-with-benefits’ line so well, so perfectly. The mirroring between past and present? I love this and the author is a genius.

I Need You by @childrenofthe80s​ | Teen

Richie Tozier was a mix of emotions. He was absolutely miserable and it was all because of a motherfucking named Stan.

MY COMMENTS: the way the insecurity trope is flipped to Stan being insecure and Richie holding onto him and comforting him just makes me so soft oh my Lord

The Truth is That I Think I’ve Had Enough by @eddieeatsass​ | Explicit

For the first time since Stan developed feelings for his best friend, Richie was finally single on Valentine’s Day, and Stan was fully planning on taking advantage of it. He invited Richie on a camping trip, just wanting one night where he could pretend, but Richie had different plans.

MY COMMENTS: Yo, do you remember this iconic fic? Because I sure as hell do. The camping mixed with the repressed feeling and Richie slamming his head on the tent cover when he tried to strip? Amazing

why not me? by seeingredfics | Mature | 1/?

everything between stan and richie was supposed to be platonic, especially their secret hook-ups and longing stares.

MY COMMENTS: This is unfinished but even the first chapter has a satisfying end to it. Richie is so soft for Stan, Lord Christ and wasted!Stan gives off second-hand embarrassment like no other. But other than that, it’s amazing.

I Guess That's Love by @birdboyinthedeadlights | explicit

Stan shook as Richie held him.

Richie was used to this - used to the damaged boy with his fractured face and shattered soul. Used to playing clean up to his meltdowns and sitting with him through his dissociations. Richie knew he was a burden, wouldn’t ever say it, but Stan knew.

Stan was tired of knowing.

MY COMMENTS: I don't think this author can even write a bad stozier fic, this is so good as well tf? The angst is so wonderfully done and put together with a Stan Uris who's trying his best just mames it perfect

Bill Denbrough / Richie Tozier / Stanley Uris

Not Complete Until There’s Three by @thoughtfullyyoungduck | Not Rated

Mike’s call brings back some memories for Stan, more specifically memories about Stan and Richie. Stan is in for a rough awakening when he comes back to Derry and finds out Richie and Bill are married.

MY COMMENTS: see my reaction here :’) but other than the angst from Stan’s half, the fic is godtier. There isn’t much Stenbroughzier fics out there, but this one is so satisfying and the way everything falls together was simply perfect.

Sk8er Boi by @s-s-georgie | Teen

Stan and Richie are dating. It sucks that Bill likes both of them.

MY COMMENTS: Honestly the first Stenbroughzier fic I’ve ever read. This fic dragged me into the Stenbroughzier mess I’m now dragging you into, but holy fuck. This fic is really adorable and the pining—the lovely, lovely pining. It’s so soft and adorable aside the slight angst that is all

To Make You Feel My Love by @thegreatwhiteferret | Explicit

Stan takes care of his very neglected boys.

MY COMMENTS: i remember finding this fic and falling in love with it immediately. i know it’s on Tumblr somewhere, but I can’t find the author’s Tumblr (if you know, please respond so I can change it) and this fic covers the intimacy and the worry along with the love and fondness. Really cute, really smutty, threesome warning.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Uris by @thegreatwhiteferret​ | Explicit

Stan is always taking care of his boys and making sure they feel loved, so for his birthday Bill and Richie decide to show him how much they love and appreciate him by fulfilling his biggest fantasy.

MY COMMENTS: This is the second part to this series but it’s optional to read the first one. If you read this in order of the list, then you’ve read the first part lmao. 

Soulmate Tattoos AU by @peachyuris​ | Not Rated

stenbroughzier w/ soulmate tattoos!!

MY COMMENTS: The amount of pining here? Godly. Bill misunderstanding the situation? Stan and Richie feeling like something’s missing? I love this, I love them and I know you’ll love it too.

Milkshake Date by @winterstenbrough | Not Rated

stenbroughzier milkshake/diner date?

MY COMMENTS: Insecure!Richie is something used a lot, but never fails to warm my heart whenever his significant other(s) help him out. This fic also covers that aspect and is really soft, babies

[ur-not-reddie]

1 and 23 for the meta ask

1. tell us about your current project(s)  – what’s it about, how’s progress, what do you love most about it?

- oh boy i have quite a few. okay.. umm reddie of course and working on some requests: stozier, kaspbrough, streddie and some others ahah. some of them are fluff and smut, others are angst and smut ;) progress is a little slower than i hoped (finding the right wording can be so hard sometimes). what i love most is just the different dynamics and headcanons i have for each ship, ideas are always flowing in my head (it’s nonstop. it’s a problem)

23. what’s the story idea you’ve had in your head for the longest?

- eddie has synesthesia and richie is the only one who can understand him. that’s all i’m gonna say..

[softest-cinnamon-roll]

Who are your favorite reddie bloggers and fic writers?

writers 

Leigh @s-s-georgie

Leigh is one of my favourite writers in the fandom, hands down. She has such a wide variety of fics, from soulmates to fluff, to horror. Her writing is so diverse and I can completely confirm that you will all love her fics! She also has an interactive fic which touches all corners of ships! She is also the queen of bottom Richie, so if you ever want to fill a bottom Richie need, she literally has a series called “Bottom Richie Extravaganza” so just head on over there and your needs will be fulfilled! She also doesn’t just write Reddie fics, she has got a whole series for Rarepairs which include; Stozier, Steddie, Hanzier, Stanlon, Bichie, Benverly, Stenbroughzier, Stenbrough and Streddie.

Favourite Fic - Liberté

El @tozier-boy

El is my best friend and my first real friend in the fandom. She is such an amazing fic writer but an even more amazing artist. If you reach out to her, she will be open to commissions so if you’d like her to draw you something then just drop her a message! Her art is so unique and beautiful, and her interpretation of Richie is just…damn. In regards to her writing, she has written a few amazing Reddie fics and has even collabed with me on the Titanic Fic and Anastasia fic. I highly suggest you check out her stuff, she is a genius both with words and with art.

[fingerguneds]

hi! could I ask for some stozier fluff, like, stan and richie go grocery shopping ( not established relationship but they both like each other a whole lot ) 💞 thanks!

heyy

thank you very much for your ask, i fucking loved working on this, hope you don’t mind my loose interpretation of your prompt..

_

Stanley doesn’t like grocery shopping. He hates it, actually: it’s stressful, it’s always about letting people bother you somehow, and it’s totally not worth it when there’s food delivery.

But newsflash sweetie, it’s New Year’s Eve and all the closest shops are bombarded with orders. He can’t even imagine a worse case of spending the last few hours of 2019th, maybe with an exception of having to be with his parents, but whatever. It’s still bad.

So there he is, with bananas, blueberries and two bottles of white dessert wine in his cart he’s sure gonna suck in all alone in his sitting room later this evening, deciding on whether he needs another head of brie cheese, when he notices a familiar mop of black curly hair by the cereal stand.

There’s no way he wouldn’t recognize Richard Tozier from the communication and design department. He’s one of the loudest, brightest and most charmingly gorgeous people in their company, and if Stan ever tells you he hasn’t been having a huge, fat crush on him for the last few months, he’d be the ugliest, most pathetic liar.

He’s a good liar, though. He’s excellent at ignoring his fluttering heart every time Richie walks in their department to share a word with Eddie Kaspbrak, the most pleasant coworker of Stan’s in his personal opinion, or casting his best cold-eye when at parties they accidentally end up sharing a table and the guy, because he’s actually nice to everyone, tries to start an odd conversation about broken vending machines on the first floor or the fucking weather.

Why? Because Stan’s a pussy. He’s already really, really attracted to this black-haired mess of a person, with his ridiculously dark eyes with stupidly long lashes on a damn weird face one wouldn’t call pretty, because of that big nose, covered in bright specks of freckles that burn on cool paleness of his skin, or large, red and plump-lipped mouth; but would totally still define as beautiful, because those eyes are not just dark — they’re the colour of reddish pine bark after it’s been raining for hours; because that skin is not just pale — it’s like absolutely white marble with rare blue veins in all the rightest places of the man’s slender body; because his features, although weird and uncommon, somehow create a loud and charismatic pattern that attracts an eye, that makes you want to look, to inspect, to...admire.

And that’s what Stan’s been doing. Admiring from afar, because he’s a coward, too sensitive to let someone this loveable, loud and easy-going in. He’s too protective over his heart, he doesn’t take risks, he’s too fragile for his own good, and one more thing — even though Stanley secretly thinks he’s better than everyone, there is no way someone like Richie would want to do anything with him. He’s the most adorable with everyone, that’s in his nature, and thank god Stan smart enough to know that and to be aware that he’s not special — that Richie flirts with anyone, holds the door for every goddamn person in the office, checks up on every other stranger in an elevator, and although this still makes Stan’s dick ridiculously hard, he also almost dies on the spot when Richie turns his head a little bit and after a moment of surprise breaks into a grin. Stan, like a good goddamn liar he is, shoots him a quick nod of recognition, throws the bloody cheese into his cart with a bored expression and decides to get the fuck out of this place before his heart decides to break his ribcage into pieces. As calm and collected Stanley Uris is on the outside, he’s just as chaotic and messy on the inside.

He walks towards the end of an aisle as casual but fast as possible, as if his feet are on fire but he’s used to it (which is true, metaphorically speaking), and just when he’s ready to hide from Richie behind another row, something much, much more terrible than bumping into your big fat crush slash occasional wet dream happens to him.

“Stan!”

His heart drops down to his feet, when he recognizes the voice. He keeps walking forward, hoping for an earthquake, a sudden alien invasion, The Judgment Day — anything to save him from this most unwanted encounter, but of course nothing happens. A big tenacious hand still grabs his forearm, making him stop and turn, and this face Stan’s been successfully avoiding for the past couple years still appears in front of him, unchanged and familiar as ever.

Patrick.

See, he maybe wouldn’t be afraid of talking to Richie and making friends with him and maybe even going for more, if it wasn’t for the fact that he’s been in a relationship with one extremely toxic and emotionally abusive man, and although Stan knows all these things, he knows he only terrorized him because he’s an awful person, not Stan, he still—can’t not be affected.

Who in the hell’s gonna love a needy Jewish nerd with a fucked-up brain and a shit ton of insecurities, earned throughout his not-so-bright pathetic faggot life?

Only Patrick, with his huge, kind heart and a perverted kink for losers, lucky for Stan: shaming people for what they are first, than pressing further, and finishing up with messing them up completely.

“Oh, hi, Patrick” Stan says casually, shoulders relaxed, body weight kept on one leg, yet one hand clinging the cart’s holder so tight his fingers turn purple, the other one in a fist, nails professionally breaking the delicate skin of Stan’s palm. “Long time no see.”

Leaving your ass all those years ago is still one of my biggest accomplishments, asshole.

Patrick’s eyes sparkle wickedly and his lips break into a wolfish smirk. Stanley finally notices he’s not alone: to the right there stands a blond man, not tall, seemingly muscular, small blue piggish eyes squinting at him with an alarming amount of hatred. Just what the fuck.

“How rude of me, this is Dean, by the way,” he says, showing up their intertwined fingers. Stan doesn’t feel jealous or envious, to his own pleasure, but he does feel this wholesome wave of bitterness. Assholes shouldn’t get away with all the nasty things they do and then proceed to live their nasty lives like nothing happened, while people they leave crippled and broken still suffer with their demons.

Stan won’t give him the satisfaction. He breaths in and smiles politely.

“It’s very nice to meet you,” he says, totally aware that although he’s the lonely one here, he’s still prettier and, dare he say, smarter than that Dean guy. His mug...his mug is for sure a God’s creation, but boy, did he decide to go off with this one? Yes. And absolutely nothing says mind in those little dirty-blue pools of anger he has for eyes. He looks like someone who would tattoo their first lover’s name on their bicep. And make tik-toks in their truck.

“Nice set,” Patrick, the fucker, senses Stanley’s dominating vibe and makes another elegant attempt to ruin everything he’s been building up. “Here alone?”

Okay, alright, it’s gonna be tough at the beginning, but at least he’s not holding some Dean’s sweaty stupid hand—

“Love, I only found buckwheat pasta, it all must be taken already,” and now it’s time for the third thing to make Stanley discover a lot of new white hairs tomorrow in front of the mirror. Thank God he’s not dark-haired.

Like Richie fucking Tozier, who appears literally out of nowhere, with a pack of fucking buckwheat pasta in his hand, the kindest, warmest look in his eyes behind huge coke-bottle glasses he (of course) rocks the shit out, and a smile Stan’s sure gonna jerk off to for days.

“We could drive to Tesco if you wanna—“ he starts in another attempt to silently offer Stanley a helping hand, but cuts himself off. “Oh, I’m sorry, do I know you?” he turns to face Patrick and Dean with a ridiculous replica of Stanley’s own polite smile, and if Stan wouldn’t be this honest-to-god shocked, he’d definitely laugh at the sight of it.

Patrick looks...scandalized in the most precious way.

“It’s Patrick,” Stan says, thankfully without a tremble in his voice. “We used to date a long time ago. And this is...um, Dean, right?”

“Yeah,” Patrick nods, seemingly taken aback. “My current boyfriend.”

“Oh, my pleasure!” Richie exclaims, grinning widely. “Honoured to meet my man’s old friends,” Stan almost chokes at this, but suddenly there’s someone’s strong hand sliding on his waist, and a solid body, pressing against his side. “I’m Richie by the way, Stanley’s current boyfriend.”

An uncomfortable silence hangs then between the four of them, until Patrick licks his lips in a predatory way, and nods again.

“Alright, we better keep going. It was nice to see you, Stan, have fun,” he almost spits out the last words, and him and Dean quickly leave, just like a mirage Stanley would rather forget forever.

But not the hand, still holding him tight.

“You okay?” Richie murmurs then quietly into Stan’s ear, sending warm shivers down his body. Stan hopes his coat is thick enough for Richie to not hear how embarrassingly rapid his heartbeat currently is.

“Yeah,” he answers, nodding. As much as he hates to do this, he takes a step back, which allows him to look at Richie closely for the first time in his life.

And God he’s handsome.

“I’m—“ Stanley asks, but Richie cuts him off.

“I’m sorry,” he says, and although his eyes are still pleasantly concerned, his lips curve into a small guilty smile. “I didn’t want to spy on you, I just overheard that asshole—shit, sorry, I didn’t mean—“

“No, he is an asshole,” Stanley shrugs, still lying to Richie and himself. Lying that his body’s not still on fire, his brains are not melting into disgustingly sweet puddles of adoration, his palms are not sweaty and his throat is not drier than Sahara. “And thank you for...helping me out, I guess? You really didn’t have to do that.”

Richie looks at him with something Stanley can’t really understand in his eyes, and his smile widens, revealing two big front teeth one would call funny, but Stan honest to god finds them adorable. Like the rest of Richie, really. There’s no point in denying this, he’s gone.

“I know,” he says, and his voice is low, with a slight edge. “I just, I thought there’s no better time than the present, you know, and instead of making another New Year resolution I’m going to ignore, I could give myself a chance right here and right now,” the apples of his cheeks turn an impossibly lovely shade of pink, and Stanley wants to slap himself for being such a slut for this man. He collects himself without a flinch and finally pays attention to Richie’s words and frowns.

“I beg your pardon?”

Richie keeps blushing deeper and deeper in shade.

“Well, you see, there’s that adorable Hebrew in my friend Eddie’s department that I’ve been trying to court for months, but he’s either too dense to notice it, or it’s me who’s dense and is just too preoccupied to take “no” as an answer, you know? So I’ve decided to go off in 2020 and...basically crack my ass to make that boy be more clear, yeah? Because I’m crushing like crazy stupid, you have no idea,” by the end of his ramble, his face is fully red, and fortunately for him, he’s not the only one looking like a basic white tourist after seven hours under Egyptian sun without a hat.

“Did you,” Stan mewls, voice finally breaking like a bitch, but nevertheless, his chin is up and he’s professionally acting like he doesn’t look as pathetic as Richie. “Did you just call me dense while hitting on me?”

“Yeah,” Richie breathes out, and his smile is so sunny, and warm, and relieved that Stan can’t help but smile back, rolling his eyes nevertheless, because he’s what? Still a good liar. “Did it work?”

***

It definitely did, Stanley thinks two hours later, sitting in Richie’s barstool with a glass of wine in one hand, watching the other man cook that bloody buckwheat pasta and listening to his absolutely endearing unstoppable ramble about his secret passion for cooking and not-so-secret passion for Stanley. He really, really doesn’t give a shit about embarrassing himself, Stan realizes somewhere after the words “I got shitfaced and ugly-cried for hours at that party when you left the table exactly thirty seconds after I tried to initiate a conversation with you.”

It definitely did, Richie thinks in the next morning, waking up with Stanley’s curls in his mouth, his back pressed against Richie’s chest and their bodies wrapped around each other under lazy January sun.

i have to say i’m not a huge fan of fake/pretend relationship trope but this specific um turn of events when character a is in an embarrassingly lonely situation against their ex and character b abruptly decides to save the day and then they end up together for real...is the shit

[eddie-kaspbrat]

hey i loved your streddie headcanons it was so 🥺🥺🥺🥺 so pls stozier highschool au

Ahhh I wasn't sure exactly what you wanted so I hope this is okay!

• These two IDIOTS

• Unless you were one of the losers, you weren't sure if these two were even fucking friends, let alone secretly in love

• Secretly

• Stan refuses to even crack a smile around Richie because he doesn’t want the Trashmouth to know he thinks he’s hilarious

• Richie knows

• There was one day that Stan came in after staying up all night working on a trifold poster board for a science project

• He kept messing up his design and would have to erase it, but would then get annoyed with all the eraser marks across the poster

• The final straw before his mental breakdown was when he fucked up in pen

• A stupid science project on a baking soda volcano turned into a 16 hour long event, and that’s not including making the actual volcano

• So anyway, he came to school that day hyped up on at least four cups of coffee, not including the half finished thermos in his hand

• All it took was Richie to make one stupid joke about Eddie’s height for Stan to fall out of his fucking chair, laughing so hard he started crying

• Eddie kicked him

• Richie kicked Eddie for hurting his Staniel

• Mike kicked Richie for hurting the baby

• Eddie kicked Mike for calling him a baby

• There was a lot of kicking

• There’s a betting pool between the losers over when they’re gonna get together and who’s gonna hike up their skirt and ask

• Bev wins when Richie asks before the end of senior year

• When they pair up together for an Econ project, everyone thinks it’s because Richie needs help

• No one realizes it’s because Richie is offering to help Stan

• Richie’s somehow so good with money, even though he always throws it away on cigarettes

• “I know how to save money. I just choose not to”

• Meanwhile Stan doesn’t understand the difference between fiscal and monetary policies

• “For fucks sake, Richie, you're gonna be the one to deal with this shit when we inevitably get a place together”

• Richie couldn’t help the smile that fought it’s way onto his face at the idea of living with Stanley 

• Platonically

• The smile dropped a bit

• After they turned it in, they actually started looking for apartments together

• Sure, they’d be living in dorms their first year, but that doesn’t mean they can’t look

• Richie was absolutely fucking ecstatic when Stan ran to him with his University of Maine acceptance letter

• It was the only school they’d both been accepted to

• Next comes prom, babey

• You’d think this is when Richie does it, right? Romantic and shit

• Ha

• Prom is so uneventful for Stozier

• Richie got hit on by a few drunk guys

• Stan danced with Mike, then Bill, and when he was finally getting up the courage to dance with Richie, they stopped playing slow songs

• But after prom

• They were all spending the night at Mike’s and laying outside under the stars, because stars are SO pretty when you're drunk

• And Richie pulled that cheesy “but you’re prettier”

• Stan couldn’t stop blushing

• They ended up falling asleep cuddling

• It wasn't until a week before their graduation that Richie finally grew a pair

• They’d just finished classes and had the week off before they got to walk the stage

• Richie had been going on about how “We did it, Stanley! Time to begin the next chapter! We’re starting our lives together!”

• Stan smiled a bit at the ‘together’

• Richie brought them to the playground they met on as a sentimental thing

• He directed them to the sandbox they met in

• Stan had been meticulously creating a sand castle, not a grain of sand out of place

• Some asshole kid named Henry kicked it over and Stan started screaming

• Richie pushed the asshole kid over

• Henry told Richie his dad would arrest him before he went to find some other kid to pick on, and Richie sat down next to Stan, not saying anything until he stopped crying

• It was nearly the end of recess when Stan finally calmed down, but Richie helped him salvage what he could of the castle

• Richie was terrible at this, but for some reason, Stan didn't mind it

• All he had to do was go back in and fix Richie’s mistakes

• Sure it took longer, but hey, it worked

• He started crying again when recess ended because he couldn’t finish the castle, but Richie promised they’d come back and make it even better tomorrow

• Stan smiled at the memory as he looked down at the sandbox

• When he looked back at Richie, Richie was looking at him

• “That was the best decision of my life. Pushing Bowers like that.”

• Richie explained how that day gave him his best friend, the only person in the world he is truly himself with and can tell absolutely everything

• Stan can’t help the slight smile that graces his lips as his eyes glint knowingly

• “You aren’t proposing, Rich. Just ask.”

• Richie looks shocked, but of course Stanley knew

• The next time the losers saw them, they were holding hands and Richie looked absolutely ecstatic

• Stan looked bored, but they saw the happiness in his eyes anyway

Hope this fulfills that Stozier fluff everyone needs lol

Asks are open!!

[tinyarmedtrex]

Heyy! How are you doing? I hope you’re okay! I really really absolutely ADORE your writing!! But I sorta read all of your fics on ao3 and most of the stuff you write here on tumblr (;-;) I was wondering (it it’s not a problem/I don’t annoy you) whether you could recommend me some good fics/writers that you like! Thank you in advance! Have a nice day :)

Aw anon you’re so sweet! I would LOVE to rec some authors and fics! I picked my fav fics from my fav authors- hope you find some new favorites!

@oldguybones: I think I’ve rec’ed MMITG about two dozen times but everyone should be reading this. A horror fic based on Until Dawn? Freaking genius. 

@xandertheundead: My fav fic of Xander’s is a toss up between Something Wicked Cometh (witch Eddie AND Mike?? Come on)  and Unconditional (the best loser superhero fic I’ve read) so just do yourself a favor and read both.

@stellarbisexual: Okay look I know we’ve all read ZCL but have you read Stell’s other fics? Like, for example, Queer Eye for that Weird Tall Guy? Because it’s amazing. I’ll never get sick of her reddie banter and her perfect characterization of Eddie! 

@queen-sock: If you like a little angst with your fics Sorch is the author for you. My personal fav is Sugar, Honey, Honey because I am a sucker for a good coffee shop AU with a little angst thrown in!

@wonderwheelzier: So many amazing rarepair fics! My fav is Dissolve, a nsfw bichie fic that I think captures bichie’s essence perfectly. 

@jem-carstairs-is-perfection​: Fluff Queeennnn. Monse’s fics are like warm blankets and you just wanna wrap yourself in them. One Caramel Macchiato, On Me is one of her new ones and it’s perfection.

@beepbeeprichiellc: So, so, so many good fics and prompts! I love Ace’s High, it’s got a little mystery, a little tension and so many intriguing ideas!

@reddie-for-anything: Yea, yea, yea we all love beisbol BUT Em has so many epic fics. I’m rec’ing her soulmate AU- Get busy Living (or Get Busy Dying) 

@s-s-georgie: Rarepair-paloza! If you want some bichie, stanlon, stozier- she’s got it all. My personal fav is Coffee Dependency featuring an overcaffienated Stan and sweet Mike.  

You can also check out my fic rec tag- tinyarmedtrecs! 

Remember to leave some lovely comments!!

strawberry chapstick

stozier imagine

summary: stan and richie are forced by the losers to go to a couple’s themed dance at school in an attempt to get them together.

warnings: none, just some fluff and a few curse words

a/n: sorry this is highkey short but i wrote it out of no where because the idea came to me and i didn’t wanna forget

An upbeat song currently blasted on the speakers, but neither Richie nor Stan knew what it was. Standing in the middle of the dance floor, they looked around at the group of teens. They didn’t plan on dancing at all, but the losers insisted that they had a bit of fun instead of sitting by the snack table all night.

“This is so stupid, I knew I shouldn’t have come to this,” Stan muttered, looking around at everybody on the dance floor. He hated dancing almost as much as he hated being bumped into by horny teens and sweaty bodies.

“I mean it’s not that bad,” Richie said, looking down at his feet. He didn’t like the idea of being pushed out onto the dance floor either, but he couldn’t help but feel a bit insecure at Stan’s comment. Richie just hoped Stan wasn’t upset that he was left alone with him.

“It is that bad, Richie. I can’t dance and I don’t like being around so many people. Not only that, but this is a couple’s dance, not a regular school dance,” Stan replied, dodging a couple that was swaying a bit too intensely.

“I can’t dance either, I mean look at me, I can barely walk without tripping over my own damn feet, but it could be worse.”

Stan shook his head. He didn’t understand why the losers, who all actually had dates, insisted that both him and Richie, who don’t have dates, join them.

Just as he was about to reply to Richie, the song that was previously booming on the speakers changed, and a slower song began to play. Everyone on the dance floor made their way to their dates and began to slow dance with each other, except Stan and Richie.

The two boys stood in the middle of the room, completely still. They had done the same thing during the last song, but now that a slower tune was playing, it was a bit more obvious.

Ben and Beverly were dancing together, Bill and Eddie were attempting to dance together, and Mike was twirling around with a girl from his english class.

Stan and Richie awkwardly glanced around the room for a few more moments, not daring to look at each other, before Richie spoke up again.

“Maybe we should, uh, dance too?” he said, lowering his head to meet Stan’s eyes. “I mean not in like a romantic way, just like, ya know…. in a ‘we look like fucking idiots standing in the middle of the dance floor’ kinda way.”

Stan gulped and nodded his head, hesitantly placing his arms around Richie’s neck as Richie grabbed him by the waist.

As they slowly swayed to the music, Richie couldn’t help but notice how smooth and plump Stan’s lips looked, especially in the dim lighting of the room. He must’ve been staring for a while because Stanley quickly took notice.

“What are you staring at?”

“O-oh, um, your lips just- I mean, they’re really soft looking and smooth. How did you do that?” Richie stuttered, a red hue taking over his cheeks for getting caught. Richie had always been the victim of chapped lips.

“I don’t know, I always have chapstick on,” Stan said, softly. He hoped Richie didn’t notice the heat rising up to his cheeks.

“What flavor do you have on right now?” Richie asked, letting his gaze fall back to Stan’s lips, not even caring that he was being completely obvious with his actions.

“I-I don’t remember, I didn’t really pay attention when I put it o-“

Stan was cut off by Richie’s lips capturing his. He could feel Richie lightly sucking on his lip, and he had to resist the urge to let out a light moan.

Richie slowly pulled his lips away from the surprised boy in front of him, and brought his head down to whisper in Stan’s ear.

“Strawberry. My favorite.”

stozier recs

My pal @gayslm​ asked me if I could rec some stozier fics and since I dont contribute with anything to this fandom I thought I could make a recs list at the very least.

(also this got longer than I planned, but all the fics are really short)

Boys Don't Cry by bnsolo (nsfw ish)

This might have been one of the first stozier fics I read. Tbh I don’t really remember this fic all that well, but I do remember enjoying it. Kind of angsty. Read the tags before you read it.

The Best Medicine by bnsolo

This is honestly the purest fucking fic. I even made a post about it ages ago cause I needed yall to read it. Honestly just boys loving each other and sweet, beautiful fluff.

never felt this way before by trashmouths (nsfw ish)

This might be my favourite stozier fic ever!!!! It’s so fucking sweet and I live and breathe for established relationships tbh.

Stan The Man Gets Off a Good One! by runboyrun (NSFW)

Just really nsfw, but also Stan is so pure and Richie’s taking care of him. 

Did You See His Teeth? by runboyrun (nsfw)

One New Voice Message by skatedaddy

[notagoodplace4gods]

ok but stozier where (this is overuse prob so sorry) rich starts really believing stan doesnt like him in their late teens bc of anxiety and stuff and starts to distance and heyoo flippin the script w/ stan coming in through the window like “wtf man??? ur literally my best friend ily” and then like back to stans and its just pure fluff bc heyo these boys mad in love and richies just like “holy shit ily wowowowoow” yike sorry ~✨

I’m so sorry for taking so long!! This is not exactly what you asked for, but I still hope you’ll like it! Here we go!

It’s on AO3

when stan starts avoiding richie after they went to prom together as bros, richie knows he’s fucked up

he doesn`t know how he fucked up, tho, because he was drunk as hell and he barely remembers what happened

when stan starts avoiding richie after they go to prom together as bros, richie knows he’s fucked up

he doesn’t know how he fucked up, tho, because he was drunk as hell and he barely remembers what happened

the losers can’t tell him what he did because “stan didn’t let you do anything embarrassing, he took you home the moment he realized you were drunk”

richie makes eddie pinky swear that he didn’t see him make a fool of himself at prom

Relieved by his answer, richie starts thinking that maybe stan’s just messing with him Maybe it’s just a joke and he decides to play along

“well let’s see how long he can pretend not to love me lol he won’t last a week”

stan lasts more than a week not talking to richie, barely acknowledging him in the group hangs

richie is low key worried and grows louder so he can draw stan’s attention by any means necessary, which means cruder jokes, over the top impressions, dirty flirting, but stan keeps ignoring him

richie goes from frustrated to angry really fast

and he complains about Stan to everyone, literally everyone but Stan The Man himself

“we don’t know anything richie, why don’t you talk to him?”

richie tries cornering stan after school one day, but stan keeps dodging his questions and answering with “I’m fine”s, which only pisses richie even more because he knows stan isn’t fine

“come on stanley I know you’re angry at me! what did i do?”

“why do you think the world revolves around you, richie? you didn’t do anything and we’re fine.”

“we’re not fine! God, stan, just tell me what I did so I can fix it! Was it because I drank too much and you had to take me home? Was it because I made you leave the prom earlier?”

“what? no richie, that was fine and… Wait, don’t you remember what happened later?” stan takes a deep breath and tries to mask the hurt on his voice. “You don’t.”

“I was drunk… I…”

“Sure, it’s okay, we’re okay, nothing happened, I just have to go.”

richie tries to stop him by grabbing his arm, but stan flinches away so fast richie’s freezes on the spot. Now he’s high key worried

now he knows he’s fucked up.

——————

richie kinda starts avoiding stan back after this, afraid he’ll make  things worse between them

he never asks the losers to intervene, but everytime he meets them, he asks if stan said anything about him

the losers have no idea what’s happening, and they hate it, so they make a plan to get both richie and stan drunk and talking

it’s very difficult getting them together, and moving past the awkwardness, but they do get them drunk, they all get drunk, one night at bill’s. and they’re playing truth or dare

when the bottle stops on stan, richie perks up at the possibility of stan picking truth so he can ask what did he do to make his best friend so mad at him

stan picks dare

for a moment richie’s devastated, but then ben whispers something in his ear and he takes his suggestion.

“I dare you to tell me why you’re mad at me.”

“that’s cheating.”

“It’s the game, you have to tell me.”

“I’m not mad at you.”

“you are! just fucking tell me what i did!

“what didn’t you do, richie?” stan rolls his eyes. “you’re always so…” The alcohol is taking the words from him, so he just gestures at richie’s entire body, to make him understand. “You! It drives me crazy!”

richie’s taken aback. He knows he’s loud and annoying, but he never thought he bothered stan so much “I’m… I’m sorry,”

when they stop talking, the entire room does too. The only sound is when mike gets up, pulling bill along with him and gesturing the others to follow him. “Maybe we should leave you two alone.”

“no!” both stan and richie argue at the same time.

richie takes a deep breath. “come on, stan the man, I just wanna put this behind us and go back to being friends.”

“Friends.” Stan scoffs, and there’s so much venom in his voice, richie unconsciously recoils. “we’re best fucking friends”

richie doesn’t know what to answer, oh even what to feel, so he choses anger. “Fine! Have it your way then” and marches out of the party.

when richie’s anger drains away, he’s just really sad and hurt

the losers go to him the next day, begging him to talk to stan, saying that stan was miserable after he left the party, so “he doesn’t hate you.”

but richie just shrugs them off. stan does hate him. it was clear as day

but what could he have done that would upset stan so much? What was so terrible that ruined their friendship?

he tries his best to remember what happened after stan took him from the prom. He thinks about numerous possibilities, but nothing seems plausible

richie knows very well that he’s a cuddly, needy drunk. But Stan knows him, he’s used to the flirty jokes, the innocent (but not really) touches, and hugs

He remembers he always used to  call stan “love” and “honey” after a few shots, he remembers sitting on stan’s lap and throwing his arms around stan’s neck in other occasions, he remembers stan just shaking his head, lifting him up and making him drink some water before bed. Stan always acted annoyed but he never minded any of that

Not until prom night

Maybe richie crossed a line. Maybe he didn’t stop at the playful flirting and dirty innuendos. Maybe he drank so much, he turned his brain off, and let his heart unfiltered. Maybe he confessed. Maybe he told stan he’d been in love with him for years. Maybe he kissed stan

Oh fuck. oh no no no no nonononono

no wonder stan hates him now. no wonder he’s angry and disgusted and never wants to see richie again

richie wants to crawl up inside a hole and just die

—————-

richie knows stan has stopped hanging out with the others, so he does too

he secretly hopes that his absence will compel stan to return to the group

if anyone gets to keep the losers, if anyone deserves to keep the losers, it’s stan

plus, if stan finds his presence so unbearable, and hates him now, it’s just a matter of time before everyone else does too. If he can’t stop it from happening, then he better prepare himself for it

so he goes from school to home, and from home to school as quickly as he can, he avoids the quarry and the arcade so he won’t meet any of them

He misses them all, though. So much

But mostly he misses Stan

His best friend

the first friend he ever made

the boy with the sarcastic smiles and amazing sense of humour

the boy who always stood by him no matter what

the boy who’d always leave an open window for him to climb into at night

the boy who’d complain about how his bed was too small for them, but would never push richie away, or make him sleep on the couch

the shy quiet beautiful perfect boy richie admired and respected so much

the boy who’d smile at him, and make the stupid bucky beaver and his stupid trash mouth feel worthy and loved and worthy of being loved.

the boy he loved so much

the boy who didn’t love him back, not anymore

not ever

richie wonders if maybe stan misses him too, but the thought is so fucking unreal, he has to laugh.

all the handholding, the laughs, hugs, kisses on the cheek, richie ruined them

richie ruined their friendship

so why would it matter to stan

why would richie matter

spoiler alert: he doesn’t

richie’s loud and annoying and ugly as hell

stan deserves someone better

literally anyone would be better

probably a girl because stan can’t be as sick as he is

——————

the losers keep trying to talk to him, but he always manages to dodge their questions

Everyone is worried because richie looks awful ™ so they decide to do a intervention for them

but richie doesn’t show up to school the next day

Or the next

they’re going crazy with worry, because richie won’t answer his door either

stan is very worried too.

he feels terrible for how he treated richie the past few weeks. He was just sad, angry and bitter, but richie didn’t deserve the way he treated him

he tries calling richie on the phone, but every call goes to voicemail

stan knows it’s his fault.  He was the one who started ignoring richie first, but he’s so worried

He’s on edge all the time, can’t sleep properly, can’t eat properly, god, he’s a mess

He almost trips over himself when his own phone rings. Please be richie, he prays

It’s not richie

——————

bev is the one who gets richie to leave the house. she takes him for a smoke by the barrens

she told him it would just be the two of them

she lied

three cigarettes in, Stan arrives, and Bev excuses herself, mentally asking richie if he’ll forgive her someday

Stan quietly sits down next to richie, who refuses to look at him

They stay like this for a good half an hour. Stan looking at richie, richie looking anywhere but at stan

stan is about to cry, but he swallows the tears. This isn’t about him! This is about his best friend, who’s looking small and broken, and he has to fix it. He has to fix them

“I’m sorry.” He opens his mouth, but the words aren’t his. They are richie’s.

Richie’s apologizing to him

“fuck, stan, I think I finally know what I did to make you hate me, and, god, I’m so sorry.”

stan is speechless, terrified at the thought that maybe richie does remember that night

“I was never going to tell you, I was going to ignore it until it went away, but it’s been years, and it still hadn’t gone away, and I… I’m a horrible person… not worthy of being your friend

stan is offended. “Richie…”

“no… let me finish. I know what I did is unforgivable, and heinous and sick. And I’m so very sorry, but I can’t fix this. So it’s okay if you hate me and never want to see me again.I understand”

“richie!” Stan grabs his shoulders and shakes him a little.”What is it you think you did at prom?”

“you don’t have to do this.” richie shakes his head. “I know I… I kissed you. Didn’t I?.”

Now Stan starts crying. “No. no you didn’t.”

richie’s eyes go so wide it would be comical in any other situation

“Fuck. then you’re just mad at me for a stupid joke, or whatever and I went and spilled my feelings for you, instead of just apologizing. Now you hate me for real, and…”

“I don’t hate you, I never did and I never will.” Stan cuts him off.

richie nods dumbly, not letting himself feel relief because the fact stan doesn’t hate him does not necessarily means that stan likes him back.

“Do you wanna know what you did that made me so mad?” Stan waits for richie’s nod before continuing. If richie said what stan thinks he said, telling him about this should be easy. “You fell asleep.” It’s not

silence

richie does his best not to break it because he knows stan’s not finished

“I took you home, and tried to get you to bed. You didn’t want to. You wanted to dance.” Stan smiles at the memory. “I asked what could i possibly do to convince you to go to sleep and you asked me to cuddle you.”

richie cringes. well that was embarrassing

but it’s not the end of the story

“so I did. we laid down at your bed, and we were so close, I…” Now it’s stan’s turn to take a deep breath. “I kissed you, Richie. I kissed you, you kissed me back, but then you fell asleep mid kiss and I…”

richie’s heart stops, and he finally looks directly into stan’s eyes

“I was so ashamed, I couldn’t face you after this.” now it’s stan who diverts his eyes. “And then you told me you didn’t remember and I was so hurt, so angry. I mean, I knew you were drunk, I took a chance, but I still… God, richie, you were my first kiss.”

“stan.” richie kneels, and moves next to his friend, his best friend, the boy who, for whatever reason, loves him back, and takes his face on his hands. “stan, I’m sorry I’m so stupid.”

“It’s okay, richie.” Stan tries. “You were drunk, and I shouldn’t have taken advantage of that, then felt sorry for myself and acted like a jerk, but…” Stan’s hands are shaking. “I like you more than I thought I could ever like someone, and it scared me so much, I withdrew from everyone. I avoided you like crazy because I couldn’t let you know, I couldn’t let you reject me.”

“stan.” richie calls for him again, and their eyes meet. “stan, I’m stupid, but you’re also very stupid, oh my god, we’re so stupid.” he groans. “I like you. You like me back. We like each other.” He says it, slowly, as if trying to understand.

“We do.” Stan breathes, amazed.

They only stare at each other for a moment, holding hands like their lives depend on it.

“I’m sorry.” Stan says.

“I’m sorry too.” Richie says it back.

A pause. Then. “Do I get to redo that first kiss?”

Stan pushes him over, and richie laughs

“we never really danced at prom, did we? I bet you refused to dance with me after prom too.”

“I…” Stan narrows his eyes. “Do you really wanna dance, now?”

“Sure.” richie knows stan didn’t mean it as an invitation, but he takes it anyway. He bows. Stan rolls his eyes, but doesn’t stop richie from inching closer, and closer. “Let’s redo the entire night.”

They dance for a while, no music, no rhythm. They dance until richie steps on stan’s toes, and stan pushes him away so hard richie falls on the grass

They laugh, and laugh, and laugh

(god, they both missed this so much)

“Okay, so I’m never doing that again.” stan says, but he’s smiling. “We’re done, richie.”

“not yet.” richie says, getting back up, and he looks serious

he takes a step closer

stan takes another step to meet him in the middle and his hand goes into richie’s hair

richie’s hands are trembling, but he takes them to stan’s neck

they kiss

they look at each other

they kiss again and again and again

“Don’t you dare fall asleep on me again, asshole.” Stan says, lips brushing against richie’s

“Oh, don’t worry, Stan the Man, I’m up.” He motions down to his pants. “I’ll be up all night…”

“fucking my mom, i know.” stan answers, the same time richie finishes with “fucking you.” and they look at each other, for a second.

“Fuck you, richie.” Stan is trying to look mad, but he can’t stop laughing

“Well… if you want to, sure. I can be into it.” richie doesn’t miss his mark, but before he says anything else, stan’s kissing him again

richie kisses him back

and they kiss, and kiss, and kiss for a long time.

Could I get some cute Stozier winter hc’s?

sure thing, love

• so winter mostly consists of stan carrying around bundles of scarves for richie to wear

• because richie never dresses appropriately for the weather

• he insists he isn’t cold but stan thinks it’s bullshit

• truth is, richie gives all of his jackets to stan to wear because he loves the way his boyfriend looks in richie’s oversized clothing

• stan tells richie multiple times if he gets sick, he won’t be getting any help

• but when his dumbass of a boyfriend does come down with something, stan sighs and just can’t help himself

• he makes him soup and fluffs his pillows and feeds him his medicine, all while ignoring richie’s comments about him being a good wife

• this goes on until richie is better, or until stan also gets sick (which richie loves because he can fuss over his boyfriend without being told off)

• other than getting sick, these boys love most thing about winter

• there aren’t many birds for stan to watch, so richie helps him find other things to do

• they make snow angels and snowmen (they always give their snowman richie’s glasses and one of stan’s scarves)

• they would also have snowball fights

• you would think richie would be the one to initiate them, but usually stan starts them

• richie would be in the middle of making some terrible joke or irritating stan… then bam! snowball in the face!

• then they would have a full-on war

• stan would play dirty sometimes, looking up at richie from under his lashes and being really sweet, until he got close enough to hit richie with another snowball

• they would never be able to decide a winner, usually because one of them would fall on top of the other or get stuck in the snow and the two of them would proceed to make out for a while

• they would also love to cuddle by the fireplace and enjoy hot drinks

• stan would drink like gingerbread tea or something “sophisticated”

• richie would drink hot chocolate with a whole lot of sugar in it

• after a long, cold day, the two of them would be bundled up in blankets and wrapped in each other’s warmth, playing with each other’s curls and just being soft (because when these two are sleepy, they are the softest boyfriends ever, don’t fight me on this)

sorry, this was kinda short and shitty

[richie-n-eds]

Stozier where one of them is sick and one takes care of the other and the cuddle. That's all. Just some cute fluff

this is perfect bc i’m sick right now thanks for the request!

Richie hates getting sick

Mostly he hates it because his parents never bothered to take care of him

But then he starts dating Stan

One day Richie doesn’t show up at school and Stan gets worried

Normally Richie tells the losers if he skips

So Overprotective!Stan leaves and goes over to Richie’s house

He walks in to Richie’s room to see him passed out on his bed

“Richie you dumbass, get up we have school you made me worry for nothing asshole”

Richie stirs and looks at Stan through bloodshot eyes

He immediately closes his eyes because the light in the room makes his pounding headache ten thousand times worse

“Babe?”

“Shhh you’re too loud”

Richie’s voice is 90% gone and Stan can tell he’s sick as hell

He just turns on his heel to go make Richie tea, as much as Richie claims he hates it, it’ll make him feel better

When he gets back, he just changes into a spare pair of sweatpants and climbs into bed 

Richie is half-asleep but he clings to Stan and buries his head into Stans neck to block out the light

Stan runs his fingers through Richie’s hair and over his arms gently until the sick boy is asleep in his arms

He turns on the TV and doesn’t leave Richie’s side all day

He makes soup and tea for him and gets him anything he needs all day

Stan may be a sassy little shit but when it comes to taking care of his boyfriend, he’ll do anything

Bonus:

Richie, half asleep and pulling Stan tighter, mumbling “I love you.” for the first time

Stan grabbing Richie’s face and kissing him gently before saying it back

“Now you’re gonna get sick dipshit”

“Doesn’t matter baby boy, I love you”

[richiardtozier]

number 18 for the fluff thing ???

18. “I can’t breathe.” thank you for requesting!! You didn’t specify what ship so I was just gonna do reddie, but when I started writing it turned into platonic stozier with some reddie and a side of stenbrough!! I’m not too confident about this but I hope you like it 💕

“Rich, will you just calm down?” Stan almost let out a laugh at the sight of his friend pulling at his hair pacing around the living room of their shared apartment.

“I can’t, Stan. I mean- I just- I don't… what if he says no? What if I screw it up and he laughs in my face or what if-?” Richie was nervous. No, scratch that. He was terrified. Stan had never seen him quite like this.

“Dude, Eddie loves you. There’s no way he’s gonna say no so can you just relax? It’s gonna be fine. He’s not gonna be here for another half hour or so. Just sit for a little while. Your pacing is driving me damn near insane.” Stan rolled his eyes and patted the spot next to him on the couch signaling Richie to sit beside him.

“I can’t just sit, Stanley. I’m freaking out here, man!” He sits down anyway. “I don’t know what I’m gonna say. I’ve gone over it in my head a million times but nothing seems right. Eddie deserves the absolute best. It should be special and romantic and I should’ve planned this out better. He’s gonna hate it.” Richie wrings his hands together, which is something he does when he’s nervous or uncomfortable. Stan notices and immediately wraps his right arm over Richie’s shoulders and gives him a comforting squeeze.

“You’ll know what to say. When the moment comes I’m sure the words will come to you. They always do, right? That’s why you never shut the hell up.” Stan removes his arm from Richie’s shoulders to ruffle his hair with a smirk.

“Alright! Staniel gets in a good one!” Richie laughs and shoves Stan’s hand away. “You’re right though. I should stop worrying. Otherwise I’ll get all sweaty and then I’ll have to change my shirt. Oh wait… I should change my shirt shouldn’t I? Should I change my outfit? Ah shit, Stan do these shoes even match? This is all wrong. Even if I do get the words out right, he’ll be way to distracted by my poor outfit choice to even notice.” Stan rolled his eyes again.

“Since when do you care about fashion, Richie? Eddie has been with you long enough to know that you’re a lost cause when it comes to style. I also know this. You know this. Everyone knows this. It doesn’t matter what you wear or what you say. The only thing that matters is that you love Eddie and Eddie loves you. For some strange and unknown reason. I haven’t really figured that one out yet.” Stan smirks again and jabs his elbow into Richie’s side to let him know that he’s only joking. Richie let’s out a loud laugh.

“You’re on a roll tonight, Stan the Man. Hey listen… I’ve been meaning to ask you. If it all does go right… wanna be my best man?” Stan raised his eyebrows in surprise. I mean, sure he and Richie were close. They lived together for Christ’s sake. But he’d known Bill longer. Hell, he was sure Richie would ask Bev to be his best man before he’d ever consider Stan. Richie seemed to read his mind.

“Don’t look so surprised. I love all you losers, but you’re my best friend, Stan. For some strange and unknown reason. I haven’t figured that one out yet. And besides, you’d definitely throw the best bachelor party.” Richie grinned and Stan couldn’t help but do the same.

“Sure. Yeah. I’d love to Richie. But you’re definitely not getting any strippers at the party. Eddie would actually murder me. Can’t be your best man if I’m dead.” They both laugh, but stop when they hear a knock on the front door.

“Oh shit. He’s here. He’s early. Why is he early? Oh shit. Oh shit shit shit. Okay. Shit. Okay. Do I look alright?” Richie frantically runs his hands through his hair and pulls at his clothes.

“You look great, Rich. Chill out. Go answer the door and act like it’s just any other date night. You have the ring right?” Richie’s eyes widen as he manically checks all of his pockets. He finds it in his back pocket and sighs in relief, giving Stan a nod. Stan returns the nod and all but shoves him towards the door. Richie let’s out a shaky breath.

“I can’t breathe.” He whispers.

“It’s gonna be fine. He’s gonna say yes. He loves you. Now answer the door before he gets suspicious.” Stan orders. Richie huffs out another breath as he pulls open the door to reveal a very cute looking Eddie. He’s wearing that big baby blue sweater that Richie bought him for his birthday and Richie thinks he might die.

“Hey, Chee!” Eddie steps forward and stands on his tiptoes to press a kiss to Richie’s cheek. Richie blushes and that makes Eddie giggle. Which makes Richie blush even more.

“Heya, Eds!” Richie smiles down at him and he can feel the nervousness that he felt before start to fade.

“Gross. Get outta here you two. Before I start gagging.” Stan dramatically makes a face of disgust while trying to hide his smile.

“You just want us out so you can call Bill over. I know what you two get up to when you have the apartment to yourself. Just don’t have sex on the couch. Or in my bed.” Richie laughs. Stan’s smile disappears and it’s quickly replaced with a deep blush.

“Ready to go, Eds?”

“Sure. Where exactly are we going?”

“You’ll see. It’s a surprise.” Richie says as he starts to close the door behind them. He turns to look at Stan one last time, silently begging for some reassurance from his best friend. Stan sees this and gives him a smile and a nod. Richie uses the gesture as a last boost of confidence and closes the door. Stan can still barely hear them talking as they walk down the hallway outside.

“Come on, Rich! I hate surprises. You know I do.” Eddie practically whines.

“Well you’ll like this one. I’m trying to be spontaneous. Quit complaining or I’ll leave you here and go by myself.” Richie laughs. Stan chuckles at the sound of them going back and forth. He’s happy for them. He knows it’ll all work out and that they’ll all soon be attending their wedding with him as the best man. He thinks it’ll probably be in the fall. Eddie loves the fall. He reaches into his own back pocket and pulls out a small black box. As he looks down at it in his hands he smiles at the thought of it all working out for him as well. All of them attending another wedding with Richie as the best man. Probably during the winter. Bill loves the snow.

You and Me

pairing: stozier (stanley uris x richie tozier)

warning(s): fluff, talk of abuse and depression, swearing, mentions of SEX (but not full on smut ok)

okay i was listening to "you and me" by penny & the quaters and iT INSPIRED ME (also they're like 17 in this okay)

The world was ultimately correct when it said that opposites attract. For as long as anyone could remember, opposites have attracted and they haved worked. The age old story of 'good girl falls for bad boy', the tale of 'two unlikely people getting together to make something work', food combinations and drink combinations that don't sound good spoken out loud or even thought about, but mix amazingly and taste so fucking good when you eat or drink them. Humans have proved the world right. Opposites do attract.

Richie Tozier is the opposite of Stanley Uris. Richie is loud and jokes all the time and Stan is pretty shy and quiet and he tends to take things seriously, which Richie does not. The two have been friends for a really long time and they have always gotten along great and if they were a wacky food combination or drink combination, they would be the ones to mix well and go great together. They compliment one another and it's been that way since first grade. They been stuck side by side for so long that being apart for a long amount of time is so foreign to them. Richie gets Stan's jokes when no one else does and Stan notices when Richie isn't being Richie when no one else does. They get each other. They know each other better than anyone else.

Stan knows Richie's home life isn't the best and he keeps his window opened halfway every night just in case something happens and Richie has no other place to go. Stan also knows Richie hates to be serious and he hides his emotions behind humor, which Stan sometimes hates because he likes deep, meaningful conversations, and with Richie you can't have those. But Stan wouldn't have it any other way - he likes Richie just the way he is. Richie knows that Stan is always in his head and needs to be pulled away from reality sometimes so he takes him to the matinee to get transported to the world of foreign films and - Stan would  get sucked into storylines and plots and characters and his own problems fall away as Richie sits next to him and watches with awe and wonder. Because to Richie, Stan is beautiful. Even more beautiful than any actor or actress on the big screen - that's another thing Richie knows.

They both also know that their parents are super religious (and maybe to some extent they are too) and would never allow them to date because of that. But they also know that they love each other way too fucking much to let what they have go.

Their close friendship grew into something more big and beautiful and it was everything they could ever dream of.

Because Stan suffers from severe depression and anxiety, he's often stuck in bed and not wanting to talk to anyone or do anything. There are times when he zones out and gets lost in his head. His anxiety stops him from doing things he wants to do and that only makes him feel more shittier than before. But when he's having a depressive episode, Richie is there to make sure he'll be okay. He'll come over through Stan's window when Stan doesn't pick up the phone or his parents say he's still asleep and it's past noon, and he'll lay there in bed with him. Sometimes Richie falls asleep too and they just lie there together, peacefully snoring, or Richie will lay next to Stan and watch the boy as he dreams behind the lids of his eyes. Richie loved to run his fingers through Stan's hair to calm him down when he feels like he's losing control and anxiety and fear are coursing through his veins. Richie holds his trembling hand and kisses it repeatedly and rubs the pad of his thumb over Stan's knuckles. When Stan has a breakdown, Richie is there to hold him and remind him that he's okay and the walls aren't closing in on him and the air is still air and birds are still chirping and the grass is grass and Richie is Richie and he's never leaving.

The times where Richie would run away from home because of something that happened with his parents, Stan would do everything in his power to comfort Richie and make him feel safe. The window is always cracked and Stan is usually doing homework or reading, so the moment he hears the window sliding up, his head turns and he drops everything. Richie's dad and alcohol is not a good mix, and it the bruises on Richie's arms and face shows that. Stan would run downstairs to grab a bag of frozen peas or frozen corn and a towel to wrap around them and he'll rush back up to his room to press the freezing bag against either Richie's face or his back or his arms. They'll lay together on Stan's bed and Stan will comb Richie's hair back while kissing his forehead and cheeks and nose, whispering calming words. Richie tries not to cry, but he usually ends up doing so and when it happens, Stan cradles him to his chest and holds him tight, letting the boy sob and scream into his body. Stan himself tries not to cry because he hates seeing the one person he loves most in the world in pain.

They were each other's distractions and when things went to shit, they would escape for a little bit. They went to the movies or the park or they played boardgames. Sometimes Stan would read a book out loud while Richie lies down next to him, his eyes closed and his ears trained and focused on Stan's voice. They would sometimes get burgers and ice cream at this small place in town that they went to with the rest of the losers - the two boys would just sit in a booth in the back and joke around and laugh while eating their burgers and fries or chili dogs.

They'd ride their bikes really late at night sometimes, sneaking out of their windows and trying to be as quiet as they can. They ride down to the park, where the lake is and they sit on the bench and stare out at the stars and the moon and the water. Stan would lay his head down in Richie's lap and they'd talk about any-fucking-thing as Richie plays with Stan's hair. They hold hands for a really long time and they kiss for a really long time and they feel at ease with just the two of them and the thought of running away always resurfaces but they don't speak it or aknowledge it because it's an impossible thought.

Making love for them was something so very special and beautiful and they treated it as such each time they did it. Richie was gentle with Stan and Stan would alway get lost in everything Richie was and he'd lose himself for a while. Richie held Stan like he was holding something fragile and precious and he'd always kiss stan's eyelids if his eyes were closed. Stan loved feeling Richie's hair between his fingers in one hand and Richie's fingers between his own in his other hand. Everything was gentle and soft and other-wordly and with every touch and kiss, it felt like the universe starting all over again. Stan loved feeling like he was in the sky with the stars and Richie loved feeling like was underwater with the sunlight burning through.

Richie loved seeing Stan smiled because it made him feel like everything was going to be okay. He'd feel his heartbeat pick up and his stomach feel all warm and fuzzy and he'd feel the ultimate urge to just kiss Stanley Uris. His smile was that powerful. And when they were together, that's all Stan could do was smile. Because Richie Tozier made him feel so fucking happy and grateful and lucky and everything good in the world.

They needed each other.

And they were meant for each other.

Opposites indeed do attract.

(A/N) short one-shot no one asked for. shamelessly bassed off of this post, especially off those answers in this screenshot. tl;dr: Richie is a vampire and Stan is mad at him. Also, I need fluff.

PS. - I used a headcannon that Richie calls Stan “Stanford” whenever the latter is mad at him and he wants to cheer him up or to jokingly argue with him. That’s it, bye.

PS2 - can someone please teach me how to title stuff because i suck at this.

“You're not serious.”

Richie wasn't asking. He was too shocked to care about such nuances. He just stood there in the doorway watching Stan who was happily playing with his new earrings.

“Oh I sure am.”

“Stanford, explain yourself.”

There was a smirk playing on Richie's lips, for a moment he thought it's just a joke. Seriously, this whole situation seemed like a bad sketch that Richie would laugh his ass off any other day at, but seeing Stan only raise his eyebrow, visibly not willing to do any explaining there was no laughing coming.

“Silver earrings. I can't even come near you and have to shout from across the room! Do you think this is funny? Silver? Holy fuck, and I'm the murderous one, right?”

The big quote signs Richie made in the air didn't impress Stan at all, heck, he didn't even see him as the moment his boyfriend started his rant he turned on his heels and went to the kitchen to make himself some tea.

“And you won't even talk to me. Right Stan, be the mature, responsible adult and be mad for no reason at all! That's fine! I'm just gonna sit here and hopefully not fucking die!”

He was exaggerating big time and Stan knew it. He might have been a vampire but silver wasn't deadly to him. To his grandfather, maybe, but for Richie it was just really uncomfortable and it was enough for Stan at the moment.

“You're heartless and I hate you.”

Richie finally whined and left the apartment.

“Three, two, one-” Not taking eyes from the ginger root he was cutting, Stan whispered under his breath - right after he finished, the door opened again and Richie stormed inside.

“You could have at least get mad at night when I can leave dramatically and not be burned by the fucking sun.”

---

Taking Stan out that day was perfect soft boiled egg level of difficulty - which means not that hard but Richie struggled anyway. Stan hadn’t spoke a word whole day, but when sun finally hid it’s ugly face, he agreed to leave their house. The fair was in town and there was no way in the world he would miss it.

“So what do you want to do? A rollercoaster? You know how I love rollercoasters! Or! Go-karts! Or maybe you want me to win you a big teddy bear?”

Richie elbowed Stan slightly, wiggling his eyebrows. Stan didn’t want to talk so Richie’s plan was to talk for them both. In the best scenario Stan would finally get annoyed and say damn words trying to shut him up, in the worst - Richie wasn’t surrounded by silence anymore.

“Nah.”

It was his only answer, not really aimed at anything Richie said. Richie felt stung by it - it seemed almost like not only hadn’t he been talking but also listening.

“Stan-”

“Oh, here it is!”

Richie followed Stan, who didn’t even spare him a glance, with his head towards big coach ahead of them. There, with big, eye-fucking shiny letters was written “the hall of mirrors”. Richie let out a loud squeak he had no idea he’s capable of.

“Stan, if you go there, I swear-”

But Stan only saluted him with a mischievous smile and disappeared inside.

“Fuck you, Uris! Seriously, fuck you!”

“Language, you asshole! This is public place!”

Before Richie could turn around to see who is bothering him in his relationship crisis, he felt something hit his head, so he instinctively guard it with his arm. He corrected his glasses that slid off his nose and saw a woman who was covering her son’s ear with one hand and was preparing to hit him again with her purse.

---

“You couldn’t take any longer, could you?!”

About thirty minutes later, or what felt for Richie like thirty hours, Stan finally left the hall with a wide smile covering his face. He made his way towards his poor boyfriend who was almost laying on the bench nearby and kicked him slightly on the calf.

“Come on, Rich. Let’s get something to eat.”

“You’re lucky I’m starving and was actually waiting for you.”

Richie mumbled but sighed with a relief. Stan didn’t seem to be mad anymore so that’s something. Worth waiting for him outside, alone, even though it was supposed to be a date. He followed him to a nearby food stand with fast food.

“So, Stan. Are you still mad at me?”

“I’d like one hot dog. With garlic sauce.”

Richie groaned loudly in exasperation and defeat, startling the girl who dropped the sausage back to the tank.

“Fine. I’m taking bus home. See you, traitor.”

---

Richie arrived at home about two hours after Stan. He was slowly getting worried that he’s not going to come back at all but when he heard the keys rattle behind the closed doors he calmed down. He watched his boyfriend walk inside, but instead of expected fountain of rant and emotions, maybe some playing on Stan’s conscience, he just passed him by in their living room and dropped face down on the couch.

Stan only rolled his eyes and let out a small laugh. Okay, that was it. Even he couldn’t be mean anymore when he saw Richie like that.

“Riichiie.”

He sang melodiously his name, but except for deep sigh that made Stan think about a kid mad at their mom for not letting them eat one more cookie, he didn’t get any response. He repeated it again, this time adding a soft stroke on his back.

“Fuck off, Stanford, I’m sleeping here today.”

Stan chuckled at his nickname and now being sure that Richie is not mad, maybe a little bit sad or disappointed, he jumped over the couch and lied flat on Richie’s back, sliding his hands under Richie’s stomach and planting a soft kiss behind his ear.

“So I’m sleeping here with you, trashmouth.”

“Stan, get off of me, you’re gonna make me si-”

Richie tried to wiggle out from under his boyfriend’s body, but stopped when he, well, felt nothing.

“Wait, what’s with your piercing? And the garlic?”

In that moment Stan wished that rolling eyes would make any sound, because Richie couldn’t see him doing it. Instead he sighed really loud.

“Come on, Richie. Do you really think I would hurt you on purpose? The earrings were fake, I took them off when I came back home. I wouldn’t pierce myself just to piss you off, don’t fawn yourself darling.”

“And garlic?”

“Please! I don’t even know if what they put in the hot dog is meat so I can’t be sure if it’s kosher! Also, I hate garlic. I gave it away to some random dude when you left.”

There was a moment of silence between them, Richie processing what he has just heard and Stan waiting, playing with dark locks under his chin.

“So this whole day, it was just- a prank? Did Stanley Uris really- pranked me?”

Stan chuckled at this, not denying that the idea of pranking Richie Tozier was flattering.

“I have to admit that at first I was a bit mad, you scared away that bird I was trying to take a photo of. But after the fake piercing everything else was just a joke.”

“Oh come on, you got mad because of that? Seriously? If I did it on purpose, then of course. But you know it’s- it’s my smell! Animals feel this kind of things. I can’t just- stop smelling!”

Richie laughed, partly with disbelief, partly with relief.

“I know you can’t. But you can just not join me when I’m out.”

“Oh really. After this whole day you dare to tell me that you choose birds over me. I’m glad you have a special place for me in your heart. Right after your birds, a special place, covered in smelly bird poo-”

Stan shifted slightly on Richie’s back to have better access to his face and just shut him up with a kiss.

“Even on poopy throne, you’ll always be my number one, Rich.”
