Author’s Note: ahhh okay hi! this is my first 911 fic, idk it’s mostly self indulgent because I can’t get this idea out of my head, so here we are :) also for the purpose of this, Eddie never got married nor did he have Christopher 

Italics are flashbacks 

----

To say you were average was the understatement of your life, you weren't special nor were you awkward or shy, you were just average. You had always been the average person, in an average neighbourhood with an average life. 

But the boy next door, there was nothing average about him. 

The first time you met the boy next door was when you were 14, you had just moved into the neighbourhood with your father and his new wife. There was still lots to be done, the air conditioning was broken and your father seemed to misplace his toolkit during the move. He left you in the smouldering heat and ventured off to find a toolkit. Not only did he return with a toolkit but visitors as well.

“y/n!” your father shouted from the bottom on the staircase, “what?!” you shouted back. “Come down here!” you groaned as he called for you again, what could he possibly want now? 

Your father stood there with a man and a boy who you could only assume was his son. “Y/n, this is Ramon and his son, Eddie. They live next door and Ramon was kind enough to loan his tools and help me out.” you smiled at them from the top of the stairs. 

“Come down and get Eddie something to drink” your father said, you resisted the urge to roll your eyes and made your way down the stairs. 

“Would you like some lemonade ?” you asked, walking past him to the kitchen, he followed you. “Please” he leaned against the wall watching you move around the kitchen. 

“So, I hear you have a step mom?” he asks, you could feel his eyes burning into your back as you got the lemonade from the fridge. “Unfortunately” you mumble and pour some of the liquid into a glass, Eddie made his way over to the counter, he leaned up against it. 

“Do you know how to stand straight ?” you glance at him up and down, he laughs and shakes his head. 

“Why is it unfortunate that you have a stepmother ?” taking a sip of the lemonade, his eyes fixed on you. “Have you ever seen Cinderella ?” you asked, hopping up on the counter and picking up the other glass, Eddie nods. 

“Imagine living with Cinderella’s stepmother but times 100″ you groan, Eddie had a smile on his face. 

“You’re joking”

“Wish I was” 

“Well that sucks” he gave you an apologetic look

“Big time” your eyes are on your legs which were swinging back and forth. Eddie grabs your leg suddenly, “what the hell!” you jump, he laughs again. 

God he has such a cute laugh, wait what ? Stop he’s your neighbour, you barely know him.

“How’d you get that?” his thumb rubs over a scar on your leg by your ankle. “Bike accident when I was younger. It just didn’t heal right and left a scar, also because there was a giant gash there for a few weeks” you shrug. The two of you were in the kitchen for a few minutes, Eddie’s hand was still wrapped around your leg, neither of you saying a word to each other. 

“Eddie! Time to go!” Ramon shouted for Eddie, he let go of your leg. “See you around ?” he asked, you nodded, “yeah, see ya” Eddie smiled at you and you smiled back. 

You rarely saw Eddie after that day, he had been helping his father at his shop all summer so you never got a chance to hang out. When school started, you had a few classes with him, he occasionally asked for the answers to the homework after his practices ran long, which you gave to him. 

Somewhere deep down, you had a soft spot for the boy next door. 

Your friendship, if you could even call it that, was built solely on the fact that he lives next door and went to the same classes, if it weren't for that, you’d never speak to him. He wasn't a popular kid per se but he had a solid friend group and played sports, so in his own way, he was a popular kid. You were the kid that had your head down, did what you were told to do and left. 

High school flew by and you were glad. The whole “your high school years are the best years of your life” was bullshit, if anything, you ended up coming out more confused than you went in. 

The second time you spent time with Eddie was at your graduation party. The graduating class had arranged a grad party for yourselves in the neighbourhood. It consisted of loud drunk teenagers and their tipsy parents. By midnight, the street began clearing out, you hung back simply because you didn’t want to go home and deal with your stepmother and your father. 

Sitting on the curb at the end of the street, you could see the entire street. There  were still a few kids, a group of boys playing football terribly, a couple making out in the corner and some girls posing for pictures by some car. 

Eddie’s shouting broke your thoughts, “Papi I'm going!” It sounded like something had shattered, perhaps a bottle. You got up and slowly made your way over. “You want to throw away your life? Stay here, get a job Eddie, I won’t allow you to do this!” his father shouted back at him. Eddie began walking away from his father, Ramon grabbed his hand. “Do not walk away from me!” he shouted again. 

“You made up your mind and so did I. I'm going.” Eddie said sternly and walked away. He walked past you on his way to wherever he was going. He didn’t stop, he didn't talk, he just pushed past you and left. 

Eddie left home a few weeks later. You kept up with his parents, stopping by for dinner every once in a while. His father didn’t talk much about him, just that he was good and that’s all. Once his father left, his mother told you about what actually was going on, how Eddie felt as if he had found a purpose there. She shows you letters that he had sent and a picture he had sent her in his uniform.

“Doesn't he look handsome ?” she smiled, showing you the picture of Eddie. “Yeah, very handsome, Mrs. Diaz” you smiled back. 

“Do you know when he’s coming back?” 

The smile dropped from her face. “He- uh, reenlisted” she mumbled. “Ramon doesn't know” 

You nodded, “I won’t tell” 

“Who’s not telling what?” his father came back in for a moment, you smiled at him while Mrs. Diaz turned her attention to the sink. “Oh just that Mrs. Diaz is helping me with dinner for my grandparents tomorrow” you pick up the bowls on the counter, “Thank you for dinner, I'll see you guys around ?” 

“of course, thank you for coming over. it’s nice to have you around” his mother gave you a hug. 

You spent a lot of afternoons with his mom, just helping her out around the house. It wasn't until 4 years after that night that you saw him again. A few bruises and bumps, a couple scars and broken bones you were sure of, but he was back in one piece. In true Diaz fashion, his parents insisted on throwing a party for him. It was supposed to be a small party, just a few neighbours and family. By the time Mrs. Diaz was done inviting people, there was triple the amount of people coming. 

You headed over with your father, he had gotten sick recently and required a bit more help now. Truthfully by 25, you had planned to be living on your own but with your father getting sick and your step mother bailing, you stuck around. Once you got him situated, you found Mrs. Diaz in the kitchen. 

“Hey” you smiled at her, taking the bowl from her hands. “Hi mi amor, how are you ?” She smiled at you, you rested the bowl on the table across from the two of you, “I’m okay for now.” 

Eddie’s laughter filled your ears, that was a sound you didn't hear often but one you loved nonetheless “It’s good to have him home” his mother smiled, watching her son from the window. Mrs. Diaz gets pulled off by someone leaving you alone in the kitchen, turning to the fridge, you look through for a beer. “hey, pass me one too” his voice called as he watched through the backdoor. You pulled two out and handed on to him. 

“Thanks” Eddie leaned against the counter, you couldn't help but chuckle. “What?” taking a sip of the beer, his eyes meet yours. “Nothing, just noticing your habit of leaning on things” you stood across from him. 

“Sorry, but do I know you from somewhere ? You seem so familiar” his brows furrowed, tongue running across his lip. “I’m y/n, we’re neighbours” you told him, his eyes flickered up and down you, your name leaving his lips. 

God, your name never sounded so good. 

“Y/n...” his eyes ran over your body once more, his eyes locking on your foot. “Ankle Scar” he smiled, you nodded as your lips curled into a smile. “God, I'm so sorry I didn’t rememb-” “don’t worry ‘bout it, I'm not really anyone worth remembering” 

Eddie’s smile dropped, a pout visibly on his face. “Don’t say that, I'm sure you are.” 

“Is that why you didn't remember me ?” you teased

“We went to high school together” he took another sip, you nodded in agreement. “We’ve also lived next door to each other since we were 14”  you smiled at him. Again, the smile vanished from his face, “okay, now I really feel like shit. God, I'm sorry” “It’s cool really” you gave a smile once more. 

“Don’t you have a party to get back too ?” 

“Eh, not to fussy about parties to tell you the truth. I might take a walk around the block, care to join me ?” 

“Actually, yeah, I’d like that” 

Eddie opened the front door for you, letting you step out first. The two of you headed through the front to avoid everyone in the back, you walked down the street together, the dull streetlights lit the sidewalks, beer in your hand. 

“What have you been up to?” Eddie asked you, “Well, I'm a nurse but only part time. My dad needs me around.. now that he’s sick” 

“Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, your dad’s a cool guy” 

Scoffing, you take a sip of your beer, “yeah, you’re the only one that’s ever thought that” your statement making Eddie chuckled. “If you don't mind me asking, what happened to the wicked step mother of the west?”  he looked over at you as he walked along the curb of the sidewalk, his arms out to balance himself. 

“She bailed when he found out he was sick.” 

Eddie stopped walking, “seriously ? that’s a bitch move” “yeah, tell me about it” 

Taking a seat on the curb, Eddie sat down too. The street was quiet for the most part, the only noise coming from down the street at Diaz’s place. Your fingers tapped against the beer bottle in your hand, aimlessly trying to keep up with the beat of the music. Eddie’s hand on your ankle startled you, causing you to drop the bottle. “Seriously ?! Again?” you shout, Eddie put his finger over your lips. “Shh! you’ll wake up the neighbours” he muttered, you rolled your eyes at his statement. “Tell me nurse y/n, how does one not ‘heal right’” he laughed, his thumb rubbing against the scar and causing you to roll your eyes again. “surely you can tell me that, Sergeant Diaz” 

Eddie looked shocked, “how did-” “your mom, she never stopped talking about her son, the army sergeant medic” you teased, he shook his head, laughing. “I know you’ve only been back for a few weeks, but what’s next ? Are you going to stay ?” 

“If I have a reason too, I will but I- I don't know what’s next” Eddie sighed. 

“Perhaps a change in scenery ?” you asked, he looked over at you with a questionable expression on his face. “I'm moving, to California in a few months” you told him. 

“Oh? What for?” 

“A change in scenery” you laughed and he smiled at you. 

“I haven't thought about moving, maybe it would be nice. A break away from here, not that I don't love it here, I love my parents too but-” he stopped talking, he realized the more he went on, the deeper a hole he dug. 

“You know, I hear the LAFD is always looking for recruits. I’m sure they wouldn't mind having an army medic on the team” you glance over at him, there’s a pause in the conversation. 

Eddie looks over at you, “that’s not a bad idea” his arm wraps around your shoulder, pulling you into his side, your arm his rested on top of his knee, 

“What do you say to a road trip and a roommate ?” he looks down at you. 

You look up at him, “I think I'd like that”

okay so i saw the pining club thing,, and i just thought imagine if there was a second piners club with some of the other losers (maybe eddie and stan or something idk) and then one day mike gets invited to that one,, and he goes and he chills (he knows the drill) and listens to the other losers (begrudgingly) talk about their feelings and and then he makes it his personal mission to get all the couples together

omg anon your MIND !! matchmaker mike is my jam i guess so i wrote a thing

•••

he gets benverly together first because they’re both mostly sane.

ben and mike spend a lot of time talking about beverly, because the way ben talks about her is so gentle and beautiful, mike just likes to listen to it. he thinks bev should hear it too

mike knows beverly has a complicated relationship with herself, and men, and love in general, so he doesn’t push her. he gives her space to vent and contemplate, and he reminds her of her value as often as he can. after all, “we accept the love we think we deserve,” right?

in the end, ben is too shy to take mike’s advice (“just TELL HER ben, trust me!”), but beverly manages to confess her feelings eventually, one clear summer night at the quarry, after the other losers had gone home. ben put his coat around her shoulders just as she started to get cold.

“you deserve better than your father, bev. i know that, ben knows that, and you need to know that too,” mike’s words echo in her head as she revels in the kindness that radiates off ben at all times. he knows what she needs before even she does, because he knows her. because he cares. because that’s was loving someone is supposed to be like. and she loves him so much in that moment she just has to say it.

ben thinks he might actually pass out from the shock and excitement of it all. he bites his tongue in his haste to finally say “i love you too”

***

next to pair up is reddie. that one takes some more finessing because they’re both so far in the closet it’s not funny, and because they’re both completely obtuse and bad at communication.

richie is sure he’ll never be ready to risk rejection from the person he loves most. so mike and richie spend a lot of time working on his fear of abandonment, and how not to deflect with a joke every time he feels those (or any) emotions.

then he has to help eddie work through the homophobia his mom instilled in him; remind him that he isn’t dirty for liking richie. he’s pretty sure eddie deflects those feelings by constantly yelling at richie, but eddie’s not ready for that conversation

mike isn’t sure he’s getting through to either of them until one scorching summer day when eddie is in the middle of yelling at richie for an ill-timed joke. eddie stops mid-thought to take a drink of water from his bottle because the sun is baking the clubhouse walls like an oven, and the heat is overwhelming. when he’s done, he hands it to richie automatically, even as he continues to rant at him.

richie is so overcome by the fact that eddie openly cares about his wellbeing even when he’s angry at him, that he forgoes listening to the rest of his rant, and (maybe accidentally) blurts out that he loves him. well, technically he says, “i love your moms son!” but eddie gets it.

mike can’t believe that worked, but also he can’t believe he expected anything less disastrous from those two

***

then comes stanlonbrough

that one’s a lot harder, because stan likes bill, but mike also likes bill. but then, he likes stan too. that part is a secret though, but stan knows they both have feelings for bill (after all, mike couldn’t very well join their pining club by lamenting his love for stan instead). in fact, the two had bonded early on over their shared folly, both convinced bill was straight.

and then sometimes, when they were laying in the dark of stans bedroom, nearly nose to nose, whispering stupid things about bill, mike felt the urge to kiss stan.

it was all very weird and confusing and mike was (not so) happy to just leave it all alone. but then he began to watch his advice bridge the gap between benverly and reddie, and he started to wonder. maybe if it worked for them... he stayed up nights thinking about it.

he wasn’t the only one. bill came out to the losers not weeks after reddie get together, bolstered by the acceptance they got from the group. stan and mike exchanged pointed glances

things might’ve been awkward had mike not brought bill to the remaining pining club, ie. him and stan. they were both understandably confused until mike started pacing. they knew it was something serious then

both stan and bill wondered separately if it could possibly be the impossible. the thing they hadn’t dared to hope for

then mike explained that he had feelings for them both, and he knew that was weird, but it was true and he’d managed to help the others so he had to at least take his own advice and please don’t hate him—

no one’s sure who spoke first, but stan and bill both cut mike off at the same time to confess that they were feeling the same way. bill cries

and no one remarks on how convenient it is that the losers all happen to couple (throuple??) up perfectly

***

this got so long, i haven’t written for the fandom in a long time and this was such a good idea, i got carried away... anyway i love this concept thank u

Losers Club at Hogwarts

- okay so this is how I put them : Ben is definitely a Ravenclaw. Mike, Richie & Eddie are in Hufflepuff. Beverly & Bill are in Gryffindor and Stan is in Slytherin (ik ik that this is a controversial topic but that’s what I think skskdks)

- Bill, Stan, Richie and Eddie meet in the Hogwarts Express on their first time going to Hogwarts and they become friends right off the bat

- Imagine them all being super excited but scared at the same time, because despite growing up in wizard families they still don’t know what to expect

- Stan is super nervous and tries to cover it up with some snarky remarks towards Richie who‘s been talking non-stop (because that’s just how that boy is and oh boy they didn’t know that so many your-mom-jokes even existed) but Bill notices and tries to calm him down

- Richie and Eddie bicker non-stop and although Eddie is acting like Richie seriously annoys him, he‘s actually very thankful for meeting the boy who can‘t seem to shut up because it keeps him sane (despite all Richie’s doing is Eddie‘s mom jokes and making up nicknames for the boys)

- Richie started calling Eddie Eds within the first five minutes of knowing each other and Eddie said "THAT‘S NOT MY NAME DICKHEAD“ like five billion times by the time they leave the train

- And Stan is ready for murder

- When he ends up being in slytherin while Eddie and Richie are sorted into Hufflepuff - Eddie acts like he hates being in the same house as Richie but no one believes him - and Bill in Gryffindor, he‘s a bit sad but the boys try their best to comfort him

- "Stan the man, at the end of the day it’s just a house the only thing you have to do there is sleep, and let me tell you, green and silver look amazing on you!“

- After a month Bill starts talking to a girl from his house who‘s always seen alone

- Her name is Beverly and he thinks she’s super super cool and they get along great so he introduces her to the boys

- Richie and her connect right away

- They literally become the ultimate pranksters of the school

- A week later Richie and Eddie introduce Mike to the group

- They all love him immediately because lbr who doesn’t love Mike???

- After another month they notice this quiet boy from Ravenclaw who‘s only every seen reading books or writing something in a notebook he‘s always carryig around

- One day Beverly decides to just go talk to him

- That’s how Ben comes to the group

- Stan tells him to run as long as he can because Richie‘s discovered a newfound passion - impersonating accents

- Mike absolutely adores history of magic and care of magical creatures (he literally pulls a Hagrid and turns up with a dragon egg one day. It was all a big mess and such an out of order thing for him to do and generally just a big mess and the losers swear to never talk of it again) (Mike named the dragon Betty)

- Beverly and Bill are more attracted to defence against the dark arts

- Eddie loves charms (& that’s good because he literally has to repair Richie‘s glasses at least once a week)

- Stan loves transfiguration (and let me tell you, he’s so so talented)

- Ben adores astrology (literally no one can understand that except for mike)

- Richie turns out to be a natural talent at potions to everyone’s surprise

- During winter they all gather in one of their common rooms to learn together while during summer they all go to learn outside at the lake

- Bill and Beverly join the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Bill is a chaser and Beverly is a beater.

- Everyone is terrified of Beverly because she‘s just THAT good.

- one of the Ravenclaw chasers told Richie to "shut the fuck up“ once and Beverly spends an entire Quidditch game trying to shoot him off his broom. Successfully.

- After a lot of encouraging from Richie, Eddie decides to try out for quidditch in his fourth year too

- He becomes a seeker and you see Richie with a sign for him at every game

- You can always hear the losers cheer the loudest whenever one of them is playing

- They only ever leave Hogwarts during summer holidays because they don’t want to leave Hogwarts or each other

- Even when they leave during summer, they try to meet up as soon and as much as possible

- You can bet all your money Richie and Peeves are best friends

- Somehow Richie always gets invited to all the parties the ghosts do

- "If anyone knows how to throw a party it’s the bloody baron guys, they’re WILD!“

- They all LOVE going to Hogsmeade

- Bill and Stan have their first date on valentines day at Hogsmeade in a cute little cafe because they’re sweethearts

- They’re one of the cutest couples at school, and despite Stan being in Slytherin he proudly wears all of Bill‘s Gryffindor sweaters around school

- They find Richie and Eddie making out behind a bookshelf in the library one day in year five

- Literally no one is surprised

- Ben hands Beverly a galleon

- In year 6 Ben and Beverly start dating

- But Ben is so soft for Mike you always find Mike walking at Ben‘s other hand

- You can bet all your money Richie‘s had more detention in his life than he attended astronomy classes

- During the end of their time at Hogwarts they stop caring about the seating rules in the great hall and literally sit at whichever table they want during dinner because they all just want to spend time together

- Even during exam time they don’t get sick of each other because they all love each other so so much

- Even the teachers ADORE their group dynamics

- Everyone is surprised Stan managed to be with Richie almost every day for seven years and not having strangled him (Stan loves Richie to death because they’re best friends and somehow everyone always forgets that)

- When they leave Hogwarts they literally try to find an apartment big enough for all of them

Silent Words (Richie Tozier x Reader)

Request from Anonymous: Hi! Can you do a Richiexreader imagine where he has a crush on you and ignores you and Beverly invites you to the lake and he is very nervous so the others tease him about it? Thanks!

Author Note: It’s a little longer then planned and has things leading up to what you asked, but I hope you still enjoy it Anon! 

      (Y/n) yelped as she hit the pavement. Her whole body flaring with pain as the little spikes dug into her skin. She sneered slightly hearing Bowers’s annoying laugh filling the startling quiet air. Her body was quivering slightly as she pushed herself up from the ground. “F-Fuck you Bowers,” (Y/n) coughed out wincing as his boot connected with her ribs and for a moment she thought she heard a sickening snap. 

           Bowers yanked (Y/n) up by her hair making her cry out in pain as tears filled her eyes. Henry’s were curled back and it reminded (Y/n) of a snarling dog... She whimpered slightly realizing the trouble she got herself in. Her with her big mouth. “What was that (L/n)?” He snarled tightening his grip on her hair making her cry out in pain. 

              (Y/n)’s vision blurred with tears and she could distinctly hear Victor and Belch chuckling somewhere behind Bowers. She cried out again as Bowers yanked her hair once more and something wet, she was guessing tears, spilled down her face.

               “Well (L/n)? You had such a big mouth a minute ago. Tell me what you said.”

                 “She said fuck off so leave her alone asshole.” The new voice caught (Y/n) by surprise though she memorized that voice from anywhere. What was Richie doing here?! She looked to where she heard the voice and sure enough there stood Richie. But why weren’t the others with him? 

                     Bowers laughed glancing back at his friends with a sickly grin on his face. “Oh look guys four eyes here wants to save his girlfriend,” He mocked as his friends howled with laughter. However, the celebrating was short lived when a rock slammed into the side of Bower’s head. His hand let go of (Y/n)’s hair and instead held his head to see if there was blood.

                         Richie instantly bolted for (Y/n). His hand wrapping around hers as he tugged her away. The two made a run for it down a nearby alleyway as Bowers’s goons yelled curses as they chased after the two. (Y/n) wasn’t familiar at all with her surroundings, but she trusted Richie. So she allowed the boy to lead her away from the bullies. 

                             (Y/n) was quite surprised when she found out Richie had brought her to his house. (”Just until I’m sure Bowers is gone (Y/n).”) So here she sat on the edge of his bed as he went off to get some ice for her bruises. While she was gone her thoughts went back to what brought her here. You see Bowers had caught (Y/n) on her way home and decided he needed to get some anger out before he got home. She supposed she was the lucky target that day. She couldn’t help but wonder what would have happened if Richie hadn’t been there. “Probably bruised up,” She thought bitterly.

                                  “Here (Y/n) I think this should be enough ice.” (Y/n)’s thoughts fragmented once Richie stepped into the room. His eyes glancing at the bruises on the side of her arm as he held out the ice. (Y/n) took the ice mumbling a quiet thanks as she pressed it against her side, the biggest bruise was there, and tried not to shrink under Richie’s worried gaze.

                                   “Richie I thought you were supposed to be at the arcade with Eddie,” (Y/n) finally said voicing the thoughts that were circling in her head. She had asked Richie for help with something, it was harder to remember the specifics, but he claimed he was going to hang out with Eddie, but perhaps he could help some other day. “So why were you the

                                    Richie sat down beside (Y/n) causing the bed to sink slightly. His gaze was elsewhere and his eyes never met hers as he spoke. “I was with Eddie... But I decided to head home when I saw Bowers hurting you...” (Y/n) was quite surprised at how serious Richie seemed in that moment. There was no light-heated tone to his voice not even a horrible joke or comeback. For a moment Richie Tozier seemed years older. However, it quickly vanished as he let out a small chuckle. “I can’t believe you told Bowers to fuck off though.”

                                       (Y/n) smiled and pressed a kiss to Richie’s cheek. “I learned from the best,” She replied. A red hue spread across Richie’s face and he had to refrain himself from smiling like an idiot.

                                         Richie was indeed ignoring (Y/n). She had tried her best to speak with the loud mouthed boy, but any attempt to do so always failed. He always found someway of escape and it bothered her to no end. It all started after that event with Bowers... What happened that could of changed their relationship so much? Did he not want to be friends anymore? (Y/n) was unsure, but it left a sickly feeling in her stomach any time she thought about it. In fact (Y/n) hardly hung out with anyone from the Losers club. It always ended up awkward considering her best friend hardly spoke a word to her anymore. So she slowly drifted away and instead spent her days in Derry’s library. 

                                           That was until she ran into Beverly outside of the library on her way home. It was a quick conversation, but she practically begged (Y/n) to join the group at the Quarry. (”Come on (Y/n) it’ll be fun!”) So she reluctantly agreed and here she was making her way through the woods trying to force her nerves down. “It’s going to be fine (Y/n) just try to ignore how weird Richie is acting,” She mentally thought as she neared the Quarry. 

                                              “So Richie you excited that (Y/n)’s coming~” (Y/n) froze confused as to why they brought you up. It took you a moment to recognize the voice, but you were pretty sure it was Eddie. 

                                              “Not excited as your mom was seeing me,” A voice, obviously Richie, snapped back a hint of annoyance in his voice. (Y/n) was now closer to the Quarry and could see the outline of the group. Richie was in between Bill and Eddie while Stan and Ben sat on top of a nearby Rock. Beverly however was resting on a towel among some river pebbles and was chuckling slightly at the guys’ bickering.

                                                “Aw come on Richie! Don’t be nervous! Unless you don’t really have the balls to do it.” That was Stanley this time, which shocked you just a little but then again he was friends with Richie... Richie was good at corrupting people that way. But what was Richie planning to do?

                                                  “Oh shut it Stan. Your sister should know I have them,” Richie responded seeming angry and yet... He was fiddling with his glasses which he only did when he got nervous.

                                                     “That you have the balls to do what Richie?” Richie’s head snapped up as (Y/n) stepped out from the woods. Her mind concluded there could only be one thing that Richie was going to do. It was quite obvious at this point... “To tell me that you don’t want to be friends anymore?” Tears were gathering in your eyes now and instantly Richie on his feet.

                                                “Of course not! That’s not- Why would you think that?” His voice was frantic and everyone was quite shocked to see the usually calm boy become an anxious mess so easily.

                                                (Y/n) however was confused at his question and his denial over their loss of friendship. why was he avoiding her then? What was all of this even about?! “Well let’s see Richie. You’ve ignored me for weeks now for no damn reason. I try to speak with you and you quickly run off what was I supposed to think? Not to mention-” (Y/n) was cut off as Richie tugged her by her shirt and pressed his lips roughly against hers.

                                                    It was messy and not the best kiss for most people, but it was your first. So to you it was practically perfect, though you found it rude he did it while you were talking. The group was practically shell shocked as Richie pulled away with a bright crimson face. Except for Beverly she just smirked from her spot. “Look I did that because it’s nerve racking to speak with you, and I’m not at all cool or calm. Like now I’m just rambling and Jesus Christ I need to just shut up...” The longer Richie spoke the redder his face got making you chuckle slightly.

                                                You pressed a kiss to his cheek, making the red reach to the tip of his ears. “Richie if you had said that at the beginning things would have been a lot easier,” She joked flashing him a reassuring smile.

                                                “Does that mean-”

                                                “Yes Richie I like you too.”

Imagine being patricks little sister and the loser club being scared of you. Beverly tries to befriend you but richie isnt happy.

——

Being the little sister of a protective bully was always going to be difficult. Half the kids hated you the other half of kids sucked up to you. Your brother was Patrick Hocksteader, part of henrys crew of dickheads. Ever since he walked you to school on your first day people treated you as his sister not as your own person. People you’d know since you were 5 were now too scared to talk to you let alone be friends with you. The only kids who wanted to be your friend were the kids as bad as Henry who assumed you were as bad as your brother. At first you didnt mind being friends these kids, having crap friends was better than none? But as the year went your dislike for them grew, especially when you saw what they did to the other kids. It took you a whole year to realise it was better to eat lunch alone than with kids who got a kick out of teasing 10 year olds.

Your old “friends” took you leaving as an insult but as you were Patrick’s sister never dared approached you on the subject. The only teased from afar and never up close. All the other kids didnt know what to do. They saw you ditching the group of assholes as a good thing but were still scared of you brother. Seeing it as too much hassle to talk to you all the kids just pretended you didnt exist. You could go days without speaking at school. You’d learn and eat in silence, never speaking to anyone after learning long ago there’s no point in trying to make friends. Patrick ignore this and all his friends banished the rumours you were a loner, leaving you as a pointless person in school.

On your first day back at school after the summer you had science with a new class and a new seatig plan. The teacher sat you next to beverly. Youd know beverly partially, as in you heard a lot about her, mainly from henry, but knew it wasnt true. Your first science assignment in your new seat was to do a project with your partner, which unfortunately for you required talking.

“Hi” she smiled “im Beverly”. “I know…i mean yeah I’ve seen you…I’m y/n”. Beverly grinned at your babbling. You weren’t used to people being nice to you and found it intimidating. You worked hard on the project in class but when the week was up you still hadn’t finished it. You offered to take it home and finish it but beverly said that wasn’t fair and suggested you meet up to finish it. You didn’t want beverly around at yours, henry would be there and well it would t be pretty. Beverly sensed this and asked why didn’t you meet up at the park tomorrow at 12. You agreed and beverly grinned when you said you’d come. “Ill see you there” she smiled patting your arm before she hurried away.

You were ten minutes late to the park and you were very nervous. You weren’t completely sure beverly was going to show. You’d convinced yourself she was just teasing you, she wasn’t really being nice to you, nobody was unless they wanted something from you. You arrived at your agreed spot and looked around. You felt a sinking feeling in your stomach as you couldn’t see her. Embarrassment rushed through you as you felt colour rise into your cheeks. “Y/n”. You turned around and to your surprise beverly marsh stood before you. “Your here” beverly smiled. It took you a while to talk and when you did all you could do was stutter. “Beverly….hi…hi im yeah, sorry im late”. Beverly grinned telling you it didn’t matter.

You were both laid on the floor staring up at the sky. Youd finished the project hours ago but it was such a nice day you both decided to stay for a while. Beverly was so nice to you that you decided she must be a nice person. You were still very cautious of her but came t the conclusion that you liked her. Beverly laughed “i love that book but did you hear about the movie?”. Your turned as you heard people call to beverly, your heart sinking as you saw it was bill and the loser club. They ditched their bikes and stopped when they saw you sat next to her. Bill recovered the fastest “hey bev weve been looking all over for you”. “Ow me and y/n had a science project and then decided to hang out for a bit”. “Ow cool” bill nodded sitting next to beverly. Stan smiled at you sitting down next to bill but thats where the pleasantries ended. The others all sat behind bill and stan, not even near you, richie and eddie sitting the furthest away. The other four seemed to not even want to breathe in your presence and treated the situation as if beverly had befriended a grenade. Stan and bill felt bad and chatted with beverly about random things but made sure to include you. You noticed the looks richie was shooting bill and stan so decided to leave. “Thanks for today beverly but i think im gonna go now”. “Aw really?” Beverly asked “are you sure you cant stay?”. “Ow i don’t wanna intrude” you shrugged. “Your not” stan smiled “were just hanging out”. Richie and eddie threw each other looks and you glanced to them making them go red. “No i really should go”. “Well it was nice meeting you” bill smiled and stan nodded “bye”. The others echoed a bye and you walked away when beverly caught you up. “Hey y/n” she said “it was real fun hanging out with you today”. You smiled “i enjoyed it too”. She grinned “so were going to the lake tomorrow and i wanted to know if you wanted to come with”. “I don’t think your friends would like that very much” you laughed awkwardly. “Ow no stan and bill are cool with it and the others don’t mind really there just boys”. “Its fine really im busy tomorrow” you told her “maybe another time”. “Aw okay but heres my number” she said writing it on your wrist “call me if you want to hang out or anything”.

A few days and you managed to use your compulsive over thinking to convince yourself that beverly was only being nice to you because of your brother and that she didnt really like you. And so you never called her not until your mom brought up the fact you hadn’t been out of the house on weekends for 2 months. Your dad had got 4 free tickets for a fun fair from work and your mom thought it would be a great idea for you to take some friends. You said you would just to please her but had no intention of going. You decided to give them to beverly so rang her. You were so nervous you actually jumped when she picked up the phone. “Hello beverly…its y/n” you said meekly. “Y/n” beverly said happily “ive been wondering if you’d call how are you?”. “Im good erm listen i have some free rickets to a funfair and i wondered if you wanted them”. “Dont you want them?” Beverly asked. “Well…erm i haven’t been in years and just thought you’d like the tickets and could go have fun”. Beverly paused for a moment and then agreed “the funfair would be fun which is why i think you should come”. “But i only have 4 tickets”. “Hey thats cool me and you could go and then bill and Stan said for ages they’ve wanted to go too, wed have so much fun”. You hesitated and beverly could sense your nerves. “Listen i know richie and eddie were dicks the other week but i promise stan and bill arent like that i promise wed have fun”. “Okay” you said kicking yourself. “Really?” Beverly asked “awesome”. You laughed “so when do you wanna go?”.

You and beverly walked to bills house on your way to the funfair. Him and stan were waiting outside and they both greeted you like your brother wasn’t a prick which you appreciated. Stan smiled at you “hey y/n thanks so much for the tickets”. “Yeah its real cool how your dad them for free”. Bill agreed “Ow its nothing” you shrugged and beverly steered you all in the direction of the funfair. Stan and bill were as nice to you as beverly and you found they were nice to talk to. You were soon confident enough to chat to them and you found you had lots in common with them. You were starting to actually look forward to the fun fair until you spotted richie and the others up ahead.

“There you you shitheads are my grandmother walks faster than you”. “Richie?” Stan asked “what the hell are you doing here?”. “Heard you were going to the funfair and me eddie ben and mike thought that sounds like a great idea”. “Ow cool” bill said but beverly and stan looked angry. As you lined up for tickets stan said something to richie who replied “i can do what i want alright”. You used your free tickets and got the four of you in and stood awkwardly by beverly. “so what do you want to do?” She asked “did we say ghost train first?”. “Yeah” stan laughed reluctantly “come on lets get it over with”. “So death drop first yeah?” Richie asked separating bill and Stan from you. “come on bill you’ve got to try it with us, i thought you could come with me and ben”. “And stan you could do with me and mike” eddie finished. Bill stuttered trying to make everyone happy but stan shook his head “nah thats okay you all go together were gonna go this way”. Richie laughed “is someone a chicken”. “No someones pissed because you werent invited but classic Richie you had to show up”. Bill grabbed stan “okay we’ll see you around bye guys”. Richie gave up and let you go glaring until you were out of sight. “Sorry hes such a dick” stan said and you shook your head “hey its okay dont worry about it”. “Yeah lets just forget about them and have fun okay?” Beverly asked and you smiled.

An hour later and you actually having fun. Richie and Eddie kept appearing trying to get Stan and bill to join them but the boys kept refusing. Even after you’d told all three of them they could if they wanted to. Stan was the first to respond and told you he didn’t want you to leave which made you embarrassed. You decided you liked Stan almost as much as beverly and felt comfortable with all of them. You were walking across the grass when all 3 of them stopped and looked behind you. You followed their gaze and saw it landed on Henry. Henry smirked as he saw them and then saw you. You saw him look to your brother and Patrick said something to him. Henry shook his head and Patrick stood up looking angry. Henry went to walk towards you but Patrick grabbed his arm. You could see they were arguing when eventually henry slunk off away from you. Patrick looked up at you and then followed his friend. “Wow” Stan said “your brother made Henry back off”. “Yeah well my brother isn’t always a complete dick”. Beverly smiled “i can see that, it was nice of him”. You looked down awkwardly and bill cut in. “Hey y/n wa…wa…want to go on the bumper ca…ars”. You nodded at him gratefully and walked towards them.

All night patrick managed to control henry and keep him from going near you and the others but the same couldnt be said for richie and the rest. You heard yells come around the back of a rollercoaster and Stan frowned. “That sounds like ben”. A string of curses followed by a grunt told you richie was there too. You ran around to the back and saw your brother and his friends beating richie eddie mike and ben up. Patrick had richie against a wall amd had his knife to his cheek. Patrick had eddie in a headlock and the others two laughed as he went through eddies bag. Ben was on the floor with one of the guys foot his chest and mike was trying to help eddie. Patrick shoved mike on the floor and henry howled with laughter. “You're an asshole you know that?” Richie spat. Henry laughed “you know eye surgery can help you see better, why don’t why try that?” He asked looking at his knife. “Henry stop” you yelled running forward. You yanked his arm away and stepped between him and Richie. “Back off y/n” he said “just walk away”. “No you need to leave these guys alone now!”. “Y/n” Patrick said “just go away okay, these people aren’t your friends”. “So its fine for you to beat them up? No they don’t deserve that its not fair”. “Okay y/n if you don’t move ill beat you up too” henry snarled. “You’re not touching my sister” Patrick yelled. “I will if she doesn’t move”. “If you even try to touch her” Patrick said yanking henry away from you. Henry turned around and looked at him “what?”. “I said you just try to touch her”. “Look i know shes family but shes being a bitch”. “If she says we cant touch them then we cant, were not hurting my sister, got it?”. Henry squared up to Patrick and time seemed to slow down as they stared at one another. Eventually henry sighed “lets get out of here, its lame”. Henry barged Patrick and walked away. Patrick followed him and so did the others. You let out your breath and turned around to Richie. You held out a hand to help him up “you okay?”. “Why did you do that?” He asked after you’d yanked him up. “Because i wanted to” you shrugged. “But you didn’t have to. Nobody asked you to”. “Richie for god sake cant you just be grateful!” Stan spat. “No I’ve been nothing but rude to her all night, i didn’t include you i tried to ruin your night so why would you help me?”. “I might be my brothers sister but that doesn’t mean i like what he does” you frowned. “But still like you could’ve easily have just walked away and let them beat me up after how i acted, i deserved it”. “People always act weird because of my brother” you shrugged “so no offence but if you think how you acted tonight is anything special your wrong”. Richie looked down embarrassed “Well thanks for helping me not get my ass kicked”. “Its okay” you shrugged. “And I’m sorry for being such a dick to you”. You laughed “like i said its nothing major”. “Still though its not right” Richie said awkwardly. “No its not” beverly said “You shouldn’t have to take that”. “Well i know its not great but like what can i do?” You asked “i cant change how people feel about me”. The others didn’t really know how to reply to that and looked down. “No i know you cant, trust me i do” beverly nodded “but you don’t have to go through it alone” she smiled “not anymore”. “What?” You asked. “Yeah” Richie nodded “were not scared of you anymore, i wont act like i did again i promise, you can hang around with us…i mean if you want”. “You don’t have to do this” you frowned. “No y/n” Stan said “we mean it, we like you”. You smiled. Bill nodded “yeah we do” he smiled. You grinned and beverly laughed putting an arm around you “so its decided”. “Welcome to the losers club” Richie announced.
