    Summary

    “I didn’t tell Myra I even applied to come here. I don’t really know why, I just… I had to, you know? It felt like… it was my last chance.”

    “Last chance for what?”

    “I don’t even know, that’s the fucked-up part. To do something, I guess. To do anything.” He turns to Richie. “Pretty stupid, right?”

    “No,” Richie murmurs. “I don’t think so.”

    Summary

    He slams his locker shut just in time to see Stan walking over, smug look on his face and something clutched in his left hand.

    “I think I might have found the perfect thing for you,” he says. His voice is smooth and easy and his eyes read trouble. He raises his hand and holds a flyer in front of Richie’s face

    Derry High School Baseball Tryouts
    Week of February 25th
    Please come with running clothes, a baseball mitt, running shoes, and cleats.

    “Oh, fuck no,” Richie says. He doesn’t even need to read the whole thing to know that this isn’t his jam. Nothing about this has is name on it and no. Fuck no. This isn’t happening.

    Except it is.

    Richie takes solace in his inability to play any kind of physical sport ever. He knows he’ll hate this, but he also knows he won’t make the team. Not in a million years.

    Summary

    // you're the only friend I need
    sharing beds like little kids
    laughing 'til our ribs get tough
    but that will never be enough //
    ---
    Almost every time the lights turn off and they cram in the shitty twin bed, Richie seems to become a different person. Maybe not different, per say, but the stupid jokes and teasing die down, the guard of nonchalance dropping. Eddie feels lucky to see this side of Richie, soft and caring—vulnerable. It’s not like he hates the other side of Richie, he secretly enjoys their constant banter and his dumb jokes. No, it’s that this side is rare, and it’s something beautiful. Here, safe in the soft flannel sheets, it feels like they are the only two souls for miles, and they can be themselves, and that is terrifying and reassuring all at once.
    “I’m gonna miss this. When we go off to college,” Richie admits, the weight behind his words telling Eddie he felt the same about their shared nights.
    “Yeah,” Eddie agrees softly, “me too.”
