You stared at Richie as he wrote down the equations on his paper. Something about him seemed off lately. He was still the same old Richie, but he didn't talk to you the way he used to. You had gone to Stan for help, but not even he could say what was wrong with him. You two had spent quite some time together, trying to figure out what was wrong. You hadn't come to any logical conclusion so you finally decided that you'd just have to be upfront about it.

The bell sounded and you picked up your bag. You hung it on your shoulder and watched Richie as he slowly gathered his things. He took a bit of time but when he finally began to walk out, you followed right behind him.

"Hey Rich, mind if we talk?" You asked. He turned around and raised his eyebrows, but smirked his most Richie smirk in the end.

"Not at all, but I'm always up to do more than just talking if you know what I mean." He replied with a wink. You laughed and rolled your eyes while he began to put his stuff in his locker.

"Well... You uh... You seem kinda out of it lately. Is everything okay?" You asked. He stopped what he was doing for a second before swallowing and continuing.

"Yeah, everything's fine. I'm not 'out of it' in any way." He replied and shut his locker.

"Are you sure? I really think-"

"I'm sorry (Y/n), but I didn't ask what you think. Just... Go talk to Stanley or something. That's all you ever do, anyway." He interrupted and shut his locker. He began to walk away and left you there, very surprised and very hurt by his words.

You sat on your patio, watching as the sun faded and the street lamps flickered on. You were still trying to wrap your mind around what had happened earlier today. You groaned and ran your fingers through your hair. What did he mean?

You knew that it probably didn't mean anything and you were just looking into it way too much, but you couldn't just blow that off like it was nothing. His words settled underneath your skin and you found yourself scratching to understand what they meant.

Was he mad at you? Did you do something wrong? Were you the reason he had been so distant? Was there something he wasn't telling you? You didn't know, but you had to find out. You were going to find out. I mean, you'd never know if you didn't at least try, right?

You swallowed and knocked on his door, your stomach churning. After a few seconds he opened the door, and you noticed something that made your heart drop to your feet. His eyes were red and his cheeks were damp.

"Richie, have you been crying?" You whispered. He glanced at you and placed his hands on his face, rubbing slightly before pulling them away.

"What? No... I'm just uh... C-Catching a cold." He said, a hiccup briefly interrupting his speech. You could see through his lie as if it were transparent. You sighed and said nothing, only wrapping your arms around him. He stood still for a little bit, but after a few moments, it was like you could feel him break.

His shoulders hunched over and he finally let it out. He cried into your shoulder as you squeezed him. He couldn't help it. He couldn't hold everything inside anymore. He needed to say something about these stupid feelings or he knew he'd never let it go.

"I'm sorry. I-I'm so sorry. I just... I love you s-so fucking much a-a-and then I see you all hap-happy with Stan and I h-hate that it's not me. I look... I look at h-him and I get it. I totally g-get why you chose him. I mean l-look at me! I'm so f-fucking pathetic." He muttered. You pulled away and grabbed Richie's cheeks.

"Richie. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that your such an amazing guy and I've never noticed how much you love me. I'm sorry I put you through the torture of seeing me with someone else. I was stupid and I broke you so much. I swear, even if it takes me the rest of my life, I will fix my mistakes. I will fix you."

He nodded and closed his eyes, squeezing out the rest of his tears. You leaned up and brought your lips to his, connecting them in a sweet kiss.

"I love you, Richie." You whispered.

"I love you too, (Y/n)." He replied, hiccuping out the last tear he'd ever cry for you.
