a few days after defeating pennywise, they met at the quarry. beneath its sensational rippled blue waters, it concealed the truth. truth of the love, known before any which one of them.
stan: BILL HURRY UP WE'RE GONNA BE LATE!
bill: I K-KNOW STAN IM PEDDLING AS F-FAST AS I CAN!! *bill attempts to peddle faster*
bev: can you guys stop fighting the only people there right now are richie and eddie. *beverly rolls her eyes*
stan: we aren't even fighting, bev!
bev: feels like it. now please shut up before i have to play peace maker, once again!
mike: i wonder what they're up to all alone.
bill: m-mike, stop assuming t-things. t-they may not even b-be gay, though i-it seems like it f-from afar.
ben: nah, i've been pretty close up. feels gay. *ben shrugs and continues to peddle*
*at the quarry*
mike: hey guys, sorry it took so long. *side eyes stan and bill* SOME PEOPLE couldn't stop fighting for one millisecond.
richie: good thing is, the gangs all here!
bev: of course, how could we miss it!
stan: *quietly talks to eddie* are you two... a thing? or-
eddie: OF COURSE NOT, ARE YOU CRAZY!
richie: what are you two talking about. eds..did you hear me and your mom again? *mocks* OH RICHIE-
eddie: richie, shut the fuck up, respectfully.
*mike, beverly, ben, stan, and bill laugh*
eddie: *whispers* so, since you can pry on my personal life, how's your little situationship goin?

bill: *pulls stan aside* STANLEY Y-
stan: *whispers* YES I TOLD HIM BECAUSE I TRUST HIM!
bill: *whispers* OK B-BUT YOU DIDNT THINK T-TO ASK ME ABOUT IT F-FIRST? ITS O-OUR RELATIONSHIP, I HAVE A S-SAY TOO, STANLEY.
stan: *whispers* yes, bill, you have a say. i never said you don't, i just assumed you'd act EXACTLY like this just to the idea of someone else actually knowing. i want to be open bill. i'm tired of being scared.
bill: l-look, i understand that, but s-sometimes even if you k-know someone will react a c-certain way, that will never v-validate, nor grant you, un-given p-permissions.
bev: hey rich!
richie: huh? oh, hey bev.
bev: richie are you ok?
richie: i don't really know. for a while i've had feelings for eddie, i just... i cant risk our friendship for my own pleasure.
bev: but it's your friendship too, and maybe it will be your relationship as well. you can't continue to hurt yourself just because you don't wanna hurt others.
richie: you're right. i think i should tell him.
*stan and bill sit back down*

eddie: uh yeah, sure. what about?
richie: well, eddie.. i really like you, and it's not platonically..
eddie: honestly richie, i've been in love with you, since, well... forever? i've always felt some type of attraction for you, but i've always denied it, for the sake of you. i want more than just a friendship richie.. i want to be with you.
richie: then it's official, you're mine eddie spaghetti.
eddie: this is the only time i'll let you get off with calling me that.
richie: *laughs*
