"Oh... Yeah, I... I guess you could say that." He said. The air was silent for a while, an awkward tension beginning to form.

And to tell the truth, I use humor to mask my insecurities

Oh I try to be funny, quite a bit

And look at me now

Stumbling over a joke you've probably heard before

>><<

Richie cleared his throat.

"So... I recently took a pole and found..." He started. You gave him a quizzical look. He saw this and his hands began to form sweat and his throat started closing up.

"I found that... uh... people are... angry... shit, I messed up the joke." He said, dropping his face into his hands. He heard your sweet laugh and separated his fingers to look at you. A smile was adorned on your face as you looked at him.

"Were 100% of the occupants angry with you when their tent collapsed?" You asked. He moved his hands away from his face.

"You... know the joke?" He asked. You giggled and nodded.

"You're not the only joke connoisseur here Tozier." You replied. His shoulders became less tense as he returned the smile.

"Jeez, somebody my age who plays arcade games and likes puns. What factory did they make you in?" He asked.

"Sorry to disappoint but I'm one of a kind."

'Cause all I'm paying attention to is the way you look at him

So I cross the room and clear my head

Wishing it was me instead

Who always keeps you interested

I close my eyes and count to 10

I need to stop overthinking it

"(Y/n)!" A barely familiar voice called. You looked to where the voice came from, and your face changed from lighthearted smiling to absolute adoration. Richie followed your gaze to the entrance to see the guy he only knew as your boyfriend.

"(Bf/n)!" You shouted happily. He walked towards you quickly, not even a smile on his face.

"Richie this is (Bf/n) my boyfriend, (Bf/n) this is-"

"What are you doing here?" He cut you off. Your smile fell.

"What do you mean?" You asked. He sighed.

"I've told you how I feel about you being here." He said. You gave a small smile.

"I just thought-"

"It doesn't matter. Come on. Let's just go before anyone else sees us." He cut you off once again, grabbing your wrist and beginning to walk away. You turned to Richie and gave a small wave before turning back to (Bf/n).

Richie watched with a frown as you walked out of the doors. He stuck his hands in his pockets before leaning on the arcade game. He never did like the way (Bf/n) treated you. It was never anything serious. He never hit you. He was just... mean. And any time Richie wanted to say something about it, everyone told him he was being overdramatic. He sighed and closed his eyes, trying to clear his head.

I might not be everything you asked for
