Clearing the Air

[The trio cruises along the empty city streets. Chris is fast asleep in the backseat while Daniel fidgets anxiously in the front.]

SEAN: Need to pee or something? 

DANIEL: Nah, I’m just nervous.

SEAN: [chuckles] About what?

DANIEL: Uh… Nothing. Never mind.

SEAN: [sighs] Whatever you say dude.

DANIEL: [turning to Chris] Is he... okay?

DANIEL: Yeah. He just hasn’t slept well since… you know.

SEAN: Well before he wakes up, we need to have a serious talk about all this.

[Sean pulls the car over to the side of the road. He gets out and sits on the hood, motioning Daniel to join him. Daniel reluctantly agrees]

DANIEL: Sean Iisten-

SEAN: No, you listen! I went through hell just so we could stay in this country, so you could live a normal life! Now you’re just gonna throw it all away on some wild goose chase?! Don’t you even care? I swear this is like Nevada all over again!

[Daniel looks ashamed and on the verge of tears]

DANIEL: I’m s-sorry Sean. It’s just that… we haven’t seen each other in months, and you don’t answer my texts and I thought if I-

SEAN: No… you’re right. That wasn’t fair. I’m guess I’m still… trying to figure this whole thing out.

DANIEL: I know.

SEAN: Why didn’t you just tell me, instead of pulling a stupid stunt like this?

DANIEL: I… didn’t want to drag you into this.

SEAN: Well guess what Daniel? I’m in it now whether you like it or not. In case you haven’t noticed, we’re kind of a package deal.

DANIEL: I’m sorry.

SEAN: There you go again. Always apologizing after the fact. For once, I want you to think things through before you go running off on your next crusade!

DANIEL: I’ll try.

SEAN: You damn well better. Remember the deal we made with the Feds, no big splashes! If they catch even a whiff of what you’re doing… ¡se acabó! They’ll throw my ass back in jail and lock you in some government black site. We’ll never see each other again. Is that what you want?!

DANIEL: No of course not! It’s just… Chris has lost everything. I just want to help him get answers and justice. It’s the least we can after all he’s done for us. We owe him that much!

SEAN: [scoffs] You’ve really grown up, haven’t you?

[Sean leans over and hugs Daniel who is taken off-guard but sinks into Sean’s arms, savoring the familiar comfort]

DANIEL: What was that for?

SEAN: Oh nothing. Just getting you back for earlier.

[Daniel smiles and rests his head on his brother’s shoulder]

SEAN: Enano, listen… I’m sorry I’ve been so… distant. College’s just been hectic as fuck. I’ve got a side-gig going on, and I know haven’t always been… there for you, like I should be.

DANIEL: You don’t have to apologize, Sean. You’ve already done so much. You should go live your own life for a change. Besides, I’m not a kid anymore. I can take care of myself now.

SEAN: [laughs] I’ve heard that one before.

DANIEL: I’m serious! You don’t have to worry about me. Go to parties, hook up, cram for exams or whatever. I don’t wanna be a burden anymore.

SEAN: You’re not a burden, Daniel and worrying about you is kind of in the job description. I mean the hours are long and you don’t get paid, but at the end of the day it’s all worth it, you know?

DANIEL: Yeah I know… thanks, Sean.

If Daniel threatened Sean back at the bus depot:

DANIEL: S-sorry for what happened back at the bus station. I don’t know what got into me.

SEAN: You should be. We don’t see each other for weeks and the first thing you do is try to pick a fight.

DANIEL: I just… got caught up in the moment.

SEAN: Hope you haven’t been doubling up on your pills again.

DANIEL: Of course not! I’m not stupid Sean!

SEAN: Never said you were.

DANIEL: Sorry. I don’t wanna fight.

SEAN: Me neither. But just for the record, I would have kicked your ass.

DANIEL: (rolling his eyes) Sure Sean.

SEAN: I did last time.

DANIEL: That didn’t count! You caught me off-guard!

SEAN: That’s kind of the point, genius. You think the bad guys are gonna warn you before attacking?

DANIEL: What bad guys? Besides, even if one of them got the jump on me, I’d still stop them all. Easy-peasy!

SEAN: This isn’t a superhero movie, it’s real life. You gotta pay attention to your surroundings at all times!

DANIEL: (mockingly) Whatever you say… sensei.

DANIEL: Are you… doing okay?

SEAN: What do you mean?

DANIEL: You know… with college, and track and everything. I don’t really know much except what I hear from Lyla-

SEAN: Oh you mean your little spy? I still haven’t forgotten about the library incident you know.

DANIEL: I don’t know what you’re talking about.

SEAN: Yeah, yeah! play dumb! You’re lucky that marker was washable otherwise your ass would be grass right now!

DANIEL: I thought you were supposed to be able to see that sorta stuff coming.

SEAN: I was asleep! Besides that’s not how it works!

DANIEL: Pfft excuses!

SEAN: Don’t push it. I’m still mad at you, you know.

DANIEL: (making a funny face) Yeah? How about now?

SEAN: [laughs] Okay. I’m letting you off the hook this time.

[Daniel pulls a chock-o-crisp out his pocket and begins to eat]

SEAN: Still eating those?

DANIEL: (mouth full) What? I’m hungry!

SEAN: I read an article that chock-o-crisps can stunt your growth. You better cut back or you might be stuck an enano forever.

DANIEL: That’s bullshit! I grew 3 inches since Christmas. I’ll probably be taller than you soon!

SEAN: Ha You wish! [he ruffles Daniel’s hair]

DANIEL: Stop it! You know how long it took me to get it just right?

SEAN: Since when do you care so much about your hair?

DANIEL: Chris says that it looks cool like this.

SEAN: I thought you “always looked good”.

DANIEL: Yeah, but I just like it better this way.

SEAN: Okay, okay. Hands off the hair. Got it.

DANIEL: So Sean, you...

Seeing anyone? 

Talk to Mom lately?

Seeing anyone?

SEAN: Taking an interest in my love life? Who would've thought?

DANIEL: It’s not like I really care. I just… don’t want you to get lonely.

SEAN: Don’t worry about that, enano, I got plenty of term papers and angry TAs to keep me company.

DANIEL: I’m being serious Sean.

SEAN: Well if you must know, I did meet someone recently. We were actually supposed to have dinner tonight but… you know.

DANIEL: Oh… sorry.

SEAN: (jokingly) You should be. We don’t even live in the same state anymore and somehow you still manage to cock-block me!

DANIEL: (cheekily) That’s my real superpower!

SEAN: (rolling eyes) Yeah, yeah keep laughing. Who knows? Maybe someday, I’ll return the favor.

(They both laugh)

SEAN: How about you? How’s school? Anyone giving you shit?  

DANIEL: Nah. Everyone likes me, well except Wilkes and Brad. But they’re assholes. Anyway, there is this dance coming up next week and I still don’t have a date. I was thinking of asking this one girl, Millie. We text and stuff and I guess she’s pretty!

SEAN: Whoa dude, slow down! Focus on keeping your grades up. You’ve got plenty of time for that stuff later. Me on the other hand. I think I’m just about ready to die alone.

LYLA <-> FINN/CASSIDY (Determinant)

LYLA:

DANIEL: What about Lyla? She’s single! 

SEAN: Dude no! It’d be way too weird. We’ve known each other since forever. It would never work. And besides, I’d never take her from you.

DANIEL: S-shut up. That was just a stupid crush! I’m totally over her! 

SEAN: (deadpanning) Oh no. I’m sure she’ll be devastated.

CASSIDY:

DANIEL: What about… what’s her name? The smelly hippie with the purple wig.

SEAN: Cassidy? She’s all the way up in Canada, dude! Plus, I need to get clearance every time I leave the country. It would never work.

DANIEL: That’s okay. You can totally do better!

SEAN: Oh ouch. Still holding a grudge, eh?

DANIEL: I just think… you’re too good for her.

SEAN: I’ll take that as a compliment. I guess.

FINN:

DANIEL: What about Finn? Weren’t you totally into him?

SEAN: Finn’s still in jail dude. What are we supposed to do? Make out through the glass?

DANIEL: Haha true.

(If Sean forgave Finn in Episode 4)

DANIEL: Do you ever wish things turned out differently with him?

SEAN: Sure… sometimes, but life’s too short for regrets.

DANIEL: You’re starting to sound like Mom.

SEAN: I’m gonna pretend you didn’t just say that.

(If the player did not forgive Finn in Episode 4)

SEAN: He’s applying for early parole and wants to me be at his hearing. Can you believe that?

DANIEL: You’re not going, are you? He totally used us. He deserves to be locked up!

SEAN: Whoa where’s this coming from? Didn’t you use to be his biggest fan?

DANIEL: What are you talking about?

SEAN: (mockingly) Oooo Finn’s so cool! Finn lets me do whatever I want. I wish Finn was my brother!

DANIEL: What?! I never said that! Besides, I was just a stupid kid back then!

SEAN: Yeah and no one’s denying that.

DANIEL: Whatever. If you want to go, go.

SEAN: Nah… I’m done with Finn. There’s plenty of better guys out there.

Talk to Mom lately?

SEAN: Yeah got a call from her two weeks ago. Business has been booming ever since… they legalized it in Arizona. So, expect an extra big birthday present this year.

DANIEL: Bet you want to move there so you can (he makes a toking motion)

SEAN: Haha, maybe after I graduate!

DANIEL: (sigh) I miss Away.

SEAN: I do too. There was something special about that place. Everyone there was so chill. Not like here.

Ask about Away

DANIEL: And Joanne? Is she still-

SEAN: [sigh] The latest round of chemo didn’t work. So they’re preparing for the worst…

DANIEL: I want to see her Sean, before…

SEAN: I know enano. But Arizona’s too far and way too close to the border. The Feds would never go for it.

DANIEL: I don’t care!  I need to say goodbye to her, in-person.

SEAN: [sigh] Okay. I’ll talk to Flores, see if we can work something out.

DANIEL: Thanks Sean.

SEAN: Arthur and Stanley got a new puppy! His name is Rufus. He’s a bit of a handful but super cute.

DANIEL: No way!

SEAN: I’ve got pictures.

DANIEL: Dude! Send them now!

Ask About Sean’s Eye:

DANIEL: How’s your eye?

SEAN: Can’t complain. Still gets itchy from time to time but that’s what the eye lube’s for. 

DANIEL: Ew, can you not call it that?

Ask about Sean’s Appearance

DANIEL: Dude what’s with the beard? It looks all itchy and gross!

SEAN: You’re just jealous cuz you can’t grow one!

DANIEL: Could too! I just don’t want to.

SEAN: Yeah sure… Have your heuvos even dropped yet? 

DANIEL: Ewwww, shut up!

SEAN: I’ll take that as a no. And since you love my beard so much. Here, feel it! [He rubs his cheek against Daniel’s.]

DANIEL: (laughing) Stop Sean! That tickles! Quit it!

SEAN: RESPECT THE BEARD!

[Sean drapes his arm over Daniel who leans on his shoulder. They look at the night sky together]

DANIEL: Whoa... check out that moon!

SEAN: How about a team howl? For old times��� sake?

DANIEL: Yeah! Diaz Lobos! 

[They howl together as “Into the Woods” plays]

[richiefuckfacetozier]

okay so richie and eddie are a couple but not really because they haven’t confessed. and in one drunken night eddie orders a very cheesy romantic something from amazon to their shared dorm room and doesn’t remember it in the morning. richie sees the order in eddie’s laptop from “things to buy for richie 💘” list and?? but he doesn’t say anything. and the things comes and eddies like who bought you that:://(( and richies like you did you idiot

LOVED THIS! And did it

Be My Boyfriend

Archive of our own

Eddie was going to kill Richie later but he was too happy to think about why he wanted to kill him. Oh wait, now he remembers…it is because he got him shitfaced drunk.

They were supposed to go to a party Mike, Bill, Ben, and Stanley were throwing in their suite tonight. Richie and Eddie did some pre-shots before going, except Richie kept challenging Eddie to have another shot until they were 6 shots in. Then Eddie wanted to just make out all night and things were going great with some light fondling with a hint of grinding. It was ruined when Beverly came knocking to grab Richie so they could go smoke.

Eddie did not go with them because he didn’t want to get crossfaded. He sat in their dorm room waiting for them to fetch him. His phone buzzed and he looked down at text messages from Stanley:

Stanley: Where are you?!

Eddie: rich anonf bev r smokin b ther soon

Stanley: Are you already drunk?

Eddie: Nooooooooooooo your drunkkk

Stanley: *you’re

Eddie: SHUTUP STANLEY YOUR NOT MY REAL MOM

Stanley: *you’re Eddie, please get to this party. No one else I know is here. Bill and Mike are busy and I am socially awkward!!

Eddie: Wait, I need to buy somethni on amazog

Stanley: The last time you bought something it was a disney princess shower curtain.

Eddie: Shhhhh I needed it

Stanley: Your dorm only has universal showers.

Eddie: And all da mens love showerin in the stall with disney ducking princesses fight me

Stanley: Please get here soon drunky.

Eddie hopped on his computer and started browsing through. His mind was floating but it kept landing on Richie. He wished they would become more than hookup buddies. As much as he enjoyed kissing him and other stuff, he really wanted to go on an actual date together. With no friends tagging along with them, to a nice restaurant or movie or both. If he was being completely honest with himself, he wanted to date Richie exclusively. He wished he had a boyfriend and for that boyfriend to be him.

Wow, he was feeling pretty pathetic now. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head. He was going to get Richie a gift from the list he had started a while ago. He opened his notes and scrolled through to the tab labeled “Things to buy for richie ❤️". His eyes flew through the list, which had gotten embarrassingly long, and landed on the perfect gift.

“I forgot about this one!” Eddie went back to Amazon and pressed that evil 1-click button immediately purchasing it.

The door opened and he slammed his computer down hurriedly. He spun in the chair to face Richie. He must have looked mortified because Richie smirked at him.

“You looking at porn without me?” Richie came over to him placed his hands on Eddie’s shoulders and straddled his lap.

“No!” Eddie shot back trying to restrain himself from touching Richie immediately. “I was buying something.”

He laughed swooping in to kiss him messily. Richie was definitely cross-faded because he immediately stuck his tongue into Eddie’s mouth. Eddie kissed him back finally putting his arms around Richie’s waist to bring him closer. Even these drunken messy kisses were giving him the worst butterflies.

Richie pulled away with a glazed expression. “The last time you bought something drunk on Amazon, you got us sushi pillows.”

“I needed them because they were comfy and I like sushi.”

“You didn’t remember that you bought them.”

“I don’t see where you are going with this.” Eddie started to pull Richie’s shirt off.

“Hey!” Came Beverly’s voice from the door. “Stop trying to do the nasty! Stanley is already pissed enough at us for being late.”

Richie huffed out in frustration. “Stanley can suck my -”

“Come on, let’s go.” Eddie laughed. Richie got off him and put his shirt back on.

“Eddie bought something on Amazon.” Richie told Beverly teasingly.

Beverly pinched Eddie’s cheek affectionately. “The last time you did that, you got those dog slippers that bark when you walk.”

“I needed slippers for when I don’t want to wear shoes!” Eddie insisted batting her hand away.

Richie and Eddie had slept until noon the next day. Eddie eventually untangled himself from Richie’s limbs to go shower.

“You should shower too.” Eddie said tapping Richie’s shoulder.

Richie buried his face deeper into the sushi roll pillow. “Is that an invitation?” He mumbled sleepily.

“No, we are meeting Mike for coffee soon to do homework. Get up Rich.” Eddie poked him in the side and he squirmed away laughing. Richie heard Eddie grab his shower caddy and leave the room.

Richie looked at his phone for a little bit until he could fully wake up. He squinted because he didn’t have his glasses on. The phone so close to his face it was almost touching his nose. There was an email from a girl in his class asking for notes on a project they were working on.

“Oh shit.” He got out of bed and plopped his glasses on his face. He went searching for his laptop then remembered he left it at the boy’s suite. “Double shit.”

He walked out of his dorm room in nothing but his boxers. As he walked down the co-ed hallway he received catcalls from every gender as he strode along. “Sorry, everyone this ass is for one guy.” Well, he wanted it to be for one guy. Eddie and him had never talked about being only with each other but Richie acted like they were until he was told otherwise.

He went into the bathroom where a couple people were showering in the different stalls. He saw Eddie’s towel and clothes outside the Disney Princess shower curtain the idiot bought when he was drunk. “Hey, Eds!” Eddie yelped in surprise.” Can I borrow your computer? I gotta look up something for class.”

“Fuck off, Richie! You know not to talk to me while I shower.” Eddie said harshly. A guy by the sink started laughing at the exchange.

“I thought that was just while you poop?” He mused.

“Go away!”

“But can I borrow your computer?”

“Oh my god. Yes. Jesus.”

Richie went back to their room. Eddie’s purple cased laptop sat on his desk charging. Richie plopped a drop of hand sanitizer on his hands to rub in. Last time he used Eddie’s laptop and didn’t use hand sanitizer, Eddie wouldn’t kiss him for a week as punishment.

He opened the laptop and waited for the password screen to pop up. He smirked to himself as he typed fuckoffrichie. His eyes went straight to an open notes document that said “Things to buy for richie ❤️".

He grinned at how long the list was and felt his cheeks heat up at Eddie’s thoughtfulness. Next to that on the screen was a recent purchases page on Amazon. Richie went to open another tab but his ADHD and curious mind would not allow him.

He looked at the order and laughed to himself. Eddie must have been so drunk last night to get him this. He heard the door open, so he quickly closed down the Amazon page and gift list.

“Are you going to change my password again?” Eddie demanded.

“Of course, but it won’t be too different from the one you have so it will be easy to remember.”

“What will it be?” Eddie came over smelling heavily of vanilla body wash. Then draped his arms around Richie’s torso.

“Fuckmerichie. Only one word changed.”

“You are a nightmare. Go shower!”

“Ok. Ok.” He got out of the chair smiling goofily at Eddie.

“What?” Eddie said reproachfully.

“You’re just really cute.” Then Richie kissed him gently. The kind of kiss that meant he wanted more than friendship. He cupped Eddie’s soft cheek, who in turn sighed sweetly. Eddie was clearly breathless when Richie pulled away leaning in to kiss him longer. This seemed further proof that Eddie did want more, they just needed to find the right moment to talk about it.

Three days later, the package arrived.

“Oh no…I did it again!” Eddie groaned ashamedly.

“What?” Richie jumped at the sudden appearance of Eddie. He had been lounging on his bed reading a scary novel.

“You ok?” Eddie asked concerned.

“Oh yeah. Stephen King is just a fucking genius who I both hate and love.”

Eddie nodded knowingly, “He killed off my favorite character in a book and I never forgave him for it.”

“So what did you get?” Richie asked reaching for the box. Eddie handed it to him.

“That’s the thing, I have no idea. I bought it drunk.” Eddie went to try and find scissors but there were none around. It ended up not mattering because Richie tore it open unceremoniously.

“I know what it is!” Richie beamed as he took out the item. “You definitely need this one!”

“How could you know…oh my god.” Eddie’s face immediately heated up at the wrapped package inside. “Richie, I am returning that.”

“No! It’s awesome!” Richie took out the boyfriend pillow Eddie had purchased. It was literally a pillow that hugged you like a significant other would. “There is a note too!”

Eddie yelled and tried to grab the note but was too slow. Richie’s eyes skimmed it quickly. He smiled at him and said, “Yes!”

Eddie snatched the note which read, “Richie, stop fucking around and just be my boyfriend.”

[snapsnapmyturtleback-blog]

Headcannons for the Group Therapy fic thing cuz it was requested like twice that I continue this so. I might do a fic later, no promises.

This also includes stuff already mentioned in the fic ‘Group Therapy’ which I wrote :D

I know someone else made some headcannons that i kind of base some of these on ? but i read a lot of headcannons so i dont exactly know which are based and what theyre based on. Sorry.

-Eddie has social anxiety and is a huge germaphobe

-He and Stan bond over cleaning things and how neat things should be.

-Eddie is very nurturing and will disregard his germaphobia if it means he can comfort someone

-also very badass ??? Eddie will use all of his first aid kit for his friends and he’ll punch people in the face if they mess with them

-Eddie is the only one that Stan will touch him bc Stan knows that this kid washes his hands more than Richie makes crude jokes and he basically bathes in hand sanitizer so he’s the cleanest

-Eddie is so good at handling emotional episodes and panic attacks that the others go through ?

-Like he’s internally freaking tf out but in the outside he’s so cool and collected that it’s hard to feel threatened around him

-has like friend crushes on everyone ? Like he only wants to date Richie but he loves he others so much that he hates being apart from them

-Stan has OCD and is obsessed with the number three.

-He prefers Stan over Stanley because Stan Uris is three syllables.

-Everything in his room is sorted in three; pants, shorts, and underwear. Polos, button ups, and t shirts. Etc.

-Everything he does is in sets of three and he’s constantly bullied bc of the panic attacks he’ll get during class or when he helps the teacher clean up and ends up sort everything in the classroom into threes.

-Stan’s dad took him birdwatching in an attempt to get Stan out of the house but at the same time keep him in a calm environment and he loved it so much so now they regularly go birdwatching for exactly three hours

-Stan goes to school two hours early so he can arrive at six and he is allowed to leave three minutes before everyone else so he doesn’t have to come in contact with people

-for the first week of school, they forced Stan to try and be like everyone else and it didn’t work ??

-like he doesn’t know what they expected but he couldn’t do anything bc if he wasn’t having a panic attack, he was compulsively tapping his desk or the wall in threes in an attempt to calm himself down

-Stan wakes up at five thirty am every morning

-he goes to bed at nine pm

-it’s like fucking clockwork and if he’s even a minute off, he’ll be hella upset and no one wants to see Stan upset

-Mike has insomnia and stays awake for days on end.

-He survives purely on coffee from the coffee shop located down the street from the school where the rest of the losers go to

-he’s really good at hiding the bags under his eyes by keeping his head tilted forward so the bags look like shadows and no one looks close enough to tell the difference.

-if it gets bad, he uses make up to cover up the bags under his eyes

-he loves talking to people so much ? Especially kids his age bc he isn’t really exposed to anything back at the farm

-he was actually the only one who was really excited to do the group activity

-Bev and Richie were okay with it bc they knew they’d see each other but Mike was excited !!

-new people to meet and talk to ??? Hell yes !

-he and Ben hang out pretty regularly at the library to find history books and discuss them

-they’ve gotten into some pretty awesome debates that would end abruptly bc they’d get really heated and the two boys would start laughing bc they can’t take each other seriously

-Mike likes to draw and he does it mostly when he can’t sleep

-One time Richie had spilled some water on a picture that Mike was drawing and Mike didn’t talk to Richie for a week and a half

-Ben had to convince him that Richie didn’t mean it and that Richie was probably sorry

-of course Eddie made Richie apologize

-it wasn’t very sincere bc Richie + an apology is just a mess

-but Mike accepted it and forgave him nonetheless

-Bill has mild depression and can see and hear a clown (Pennywise) talk about his brother

-no one else can see this thing so Bill feels like he’s tripping balls 90% of the time

-he can see Georgie too which is why he’s so adamant about finding him alive bc he can’t be seeing Georgie’s dead ghost ?? That’s not allowed ??

-Bills stutter had gotten so much worse after Georgie’s disappearance and at this point he just doesn’t talk in public

-Bev steals money from her father for cigs and weed that she buys from Richie because he charges her a lot less then most of the dealers she’s encountered

-she has like three outfits that she wears but that’s it. Don’t even try to buy her clothes bc she just won’t accept it.

-she smokes her sadness and fear away. That’s how she copes and it’s really not a good habit but she doesn’t really care

-Beverly and Richie smoke up on the rooftops during gym class and sometimes whenever Richie needs a break during whatever class bc the boy gets very overwhelmed very easily ??

-Bev is the only person who can tell when he’s getting overwhelmed and since they had every class except for Spanish and geography, she’ll always pull him aside and go for a smoke whenever he looks tense.

-Beverly is such a fucking babe ? Like she does literally nothing and she’s so pretty ? But she hates compliments with a passion.

-only Richie can compliment her without getting slapped

-I’m living for the Bev and Richie friendship tbh they’re like siblings and will die for each other.

-one time Henry Bowers was hitting on Bev and wouldn’t leave her alone and Richie fucking decked him

-Richie left with a black eye, busted lip, some cuts, and some burn marks (curtsy to Patrick) but it was fucking worth it

-Bev is like 10/10 great at making deals. Patrick and her are actually acquaintances bc Bev gives him new lighters when his run out of fuel from terrorizing people and his weed goes missing all the time so she give him some of hers so he’ll leave her alone

-Ben is so fucking soft ?? I love him so much

-he is literally the embodiment of a book, flower, and warm aesthetic

-Ben cares about people so much ? Like he will fuss about his friends eating but then he will forget (or sometimes purposely) to eat

-he’ll be so into writing poetry for someone cough Bev cough that he’ll just not do his homework or remind himself to stay hydrated

-but what’s weird is that when he reads, he’ll be brought back down. Like the self image problems and the forgetfulness temporarily go away

-he’ll be reading a history book that he borrowed from Mike and suddenly he’ll remember that he hadn’t eaten all day and he’ll ask his mom for something to snack on as he reads

-or maybe he’ll be reading a book for school and then he’ll think “shit when was the last time I had some water ?”

-And he spends most of his free time in the library reading or writing so he knows the librarian personally and uses her first name

-he even has his own little place to go with a mini fridge so he has something to eat whenever it hits him that he needs to do shit to s u r v i v e

-Richie doesn’t even want to go to therapy but it’s helping him so he just deals with it

-Eddie and Bev being there is also a plus

-Richie is broke asf so he basically makes Bev pay for his sessions in exchange for weed

-He steals the weed from Patrick and whenever the school decides to have drug dogs come, he just slips that shit right back into Patrick’s locker

-Richie really likes Eddie ?? And he sees Stan as like a little brother that’s easy to annoy

-he’s indifferent towards Ben and Mike bc like he doesn’t interact with them very much but when he does, they’re okay

-Bill is a fifty fifty. Sometimes Richie respects him bc the dudes brother is dead and here he is getting help that’s pretty fucking cool but other times it’s like shit does this kid ever take less then ten minutes to say something ?? And who tf does he think he is telling Richie what he can and cannot say

-Richie has little to no sexual experience so everything he jokes about is purely based off of what he’s read online

-the little experience that Richie does have is making out with Bev while they’re high

-Richie is always the second to arrive (Stans first, he arrives three hours early) and he’s always the last to leave with Eddie.

-he does the same with school, even if he does skip a lot

-he’s really fucking smart tho so skipping class never fucks with his grades

-he tries to stay out for as long as possible bc the boy doesn’t like staying home alone or with his drunk mom

-he has some anger issues

-he and Bev have a thing where every night they go out and break shit

-he really cares about these idiots in his group therapy

-like he could get extremely annoyed with them sometimes but he will fight for them

-Stan was once trapped in a locker by the Bowers gang and Richie was the one who found him

-Stan was freaking out bc he was in an unsanitary locker and he was supposed to have left two hours ago

-Richie calmed him down and took him home

-now Stan allows both Richie and Eddie to touch him

-Stan is basically Reddie’s son at this point

-Richie steals everyone’s clothes all the time and he just walks into they’re house, except for Bev.

-Knocking is not a concept to this kid and it pisses everyone off

-Richie once walked in on Bev and Ben making out in Bens room. He simply smiled and said “wow the new kids on the block poster must be a real turn on for this sex fest, eh ?” and left

-Richie now has a burn mark on his collarbone from Bevs cigarette

-Richie has to take like three different medications and when they were trying to figure out the dosage, it was a rough couple of weeks

-basically these kids are all fucking messed but we love them anyways
