Summary
A twist on the tale.
When the school's shoe-in for Prom Queen plans for Eddie to be her Laney Boggs, he bolts for the nearest escape route, also known as his best and most loyal friend, Richie Tozier. Richie doesn't blame him; everyone within a foot can see he'd swing another bat at Demon Clown 2.0 to kiss Eddie K.
Maybe that's why he suggests the whole fake-boyfriend thing.

Summary
Eddie Kaspbrak has lived in Derry his whole life. Most people living in Derry have, as it happens, lived there for their whole lives. They get a lot of tourists, but nobody sane would ever willingly move to a town like Derry, because Derry is a crap, dead-end, wasteland where dreams come to die.
Oh, but it has an amusement park.
*
Eddie loathes Turtle Cove, his town's gimmicky attraction. He somehow ends up trawling around the park every summer with Bev, but he'd happily never set foot in there again if there were literally anything else to occupy their time. Even the teenagers that work in the park look miserable, worn down by the outdated turtle theme and the hoards of overexcited thrillseekers. The park may have met its match though in the obnoxious, rude, and steadfastly unfunny Richie Tozier, the first Turtle Cove employee to ever put such panache into wearing a dumb turtle cap and coaxing people to shoot a water gun into a clown's mouth. Eddie hates him already.

Summary
The first time Richie kisses Eddie is an honest to god accident. The uncorking of a steady, eighteen-year-long brew of hormones and puberty and the inexorable pull of those goddamned red shorts.
The next time he kisses Eddie has less of a clear-cut answer.
