hot stuff ☕︎ | richie tozier

19

no one was home, and we went into the kitchen to get some snacks

after we had gotten some chips and sprite, we went into the living room and sat down on the couch and turned on the tv

'richie?'

'hm, baby?'

'back there, at the school. what deal was patrick talking about?'

he looked at the tv, then at me, then back at the tv,'probably just something that crackhead was mumbling to himself. I don't know what he was talking about, vic.'

i sighed,'alright.'

a couple minutes of silence passed 

'richie?'

'yes, honey?'

'can you dance?'

he turned to me with a shocked expression on his face,'are you challenging me to a dance off?!'

he turned off the tv and put in a dance cassette,'five six seven eight!' he screamed

he started dancing wildly to the music, and he wasn't even that good at it

laughing, I got up off of the couch and turned off his music

'i meant slow dance, richie!' I laughed at his obliviousness

'oh, of course not! why?'

i walked over to him and grabbed his hands, and placed them on my hips

after placing a slow song onto the record player, I put my hands on his shoulders

'okay, richie. follow my lead. one two, one two.'

he was horrible, but I was too

after about five minutes we were both rolling around on the floor, laughing our heads off when steve walked in through the front door, baffled at what he was seeing

'oh my god, what are you two doing?!' he said while laughing

'steve, we're trying to figure out how to dance but neither of us know how!!' I cried out for steve

'here, let me give you guys a hand' he said, pulling me up from the ground while richie did it himself

once we were both up standing, steve walked over to the record player and put on a new song

it was 'every breath you take'

'alright guy, since you both obviously don't know how i'm going to teach you guys'

me and richie walked closer as steve put richie's hands on my hips and wrapped my hands around richie's neck so my wrists rested on his shoulders

'okay, now feel the music and start swaying to it' steve said as he turned up the music a little bit

me and richie started slowly moving to the rhythm, thinking it went well;

that was, until steve yelled out in frustration,'you guys are stiff as hell! loosen up a little!!'

it was funny, so me and richie started laughing

and, I guess, that resulted in our bodies loosening up and actually moving to the beat

we danced until the song was over and steve looked happy to see we finally got it

towards the end of the song, richie twirled me around and brought me into his arms which resulted in a hug

after we parted steve clapped,'now you guys are ready for the dance! now here's twenty bucks, you guys can bike down to the diner and get some late lunch'
