Chapter Text
' Mum I'm going out!' Will calls across the house. His mother sighs before replying, 'Fine but stay safe!' Joyce has always looked out for Will. As he stepped out of the house, he saw Richie ' trash mouth' Tozier. He looked exactly like Mike but... I guess, better. It smelled like wet soil and fresh grass. ' Hey bowl cut!' Will could easily recognize that voice. He couldn't help but smile. It hurt to smile but he physically couldn't stop. ' Uh hey... Richie uh w-what you u-up to?' If you can't tell already, he was nervous, extremely. ' Jeez you sound like Bill, do you usually studder this much? Right anyways I'm about to head out with the losers, we are going to the quarry, wanna come? sure they wouldn't mind ' Richie talks to fast. 'Oh yeah sure I'll come but uh who's Bill?' Will gets confused easily. Anyways their names rhyme it's odd. ' Okay slow down on the questions I'll explain there, we're going to the quarry and don't worry we always bring an extra towel! ' Richie exclaims and grabs wills arm ' You ready to run? ' He asks giggling. ' Uh sure I'll follow your lead' Will shrugs it off as he has nothing to do today. Richie races ahead still griping wills wrist. Since Richie decided to run so fast, Will almost fell over, face first.
~at the quarry~
The sound of the rocks rolling around as they ran was music to Richie's ears, not so much Will's. ' And we're... here' Richie was clearly out of breath. ' T-took you long e-enough' A cool looking boy said while he was pointing to a non-existent watch. He has kind of a swoop in his hair, a red plaid shirt and white converse looking shoes. 'And who's your friend?' A chubby, beaten-up looking boy said sounding genuinely curious. ' Oh, right this is Will, he lives next door to me and is Mikes boyfriend.' Richie said while scuffing Wills hair. Will chuckled and did a small wave. 'Oh, by the way that's Bill, Ben, Stan, Eddie, Mike and Beverly but we all call her Bev.' They all waved before taking off their top layer so that they were only in their ' bathers '. 'I dibs going first!' Bev shouts before jumping off the very high and totally unsafe cliff. 'Are we sure that's safe?' Will has always put his safety first. ' Nope but who cares?' Richie clearly doesn't give a shit. ' Me!' Will and Eddie shout in union. They exchange glances before they all jump in. ' Jeez why is it so cold?' Will quickly remembers his past in Hawkins. ' Hello, bowl cut' Before he knew it there was a veiny, small hand in front of his eyes. ' Oh, fuck yeah sorry, zoned out' It felt awkward sitting in a freezing cold lake with random people and his best friend cousin. ' Anyways what i was trying to say, was that it warms up the longer you're in the water.
