Summary
“On a scale of 1 to 10, how smug are you going to act if I admit this is the perfect first date?”
“Oh, a solid 14, sugarpie.” Richie drops their hands to throw an arm over Eddie’s shoulder and pull him close. Eddie looks at him with a scowl that really, really wants to crack into a smile. “I’m going to get a plaque made and force Ben to hang it up in the clubhouse. ‘Richie Tozier: Doting and Unbearably Handsome Boyfriend, Master First Date Planner, Owner of Derry’s Biggest Di—‘“
“The sacrifices I make to be a grateful boyfriend,” Eddie dramatically sighs. “Where’s my goddamn plaque.”Richie and Eddie spent their last two years of high school joined at the hip and completely, madly, obnoxiously in love, that much Richie has been assured. So why, after 22 years forced apart, they aren’t getting back together is frankly beyond anyone’s comprehension.

What if Richie and Eddie not only forgot each other but also the fact that they were dating in highschool?

As they all sat down, a look of profound horror found a home on Stan’s face as he realized he had sat himself between Richie and Eddie.
...
“Richie,” Bev says, tone a little firmer but still gentle. “Look at me.” He does. And the gleam in her eyes tells him she can sense how much he’s got tucked away and how weak he is at this current moment in time. “Tell me about Eddie.”
Then he’s crumbling like a house of cards built by a toddler. He collapses against Bev, head on her shoulder, and rambles like… well, Eddie, the words flying out of his mouth a mile a minute. “Oh my fucking god, Bev, he’s driving me insane, I can’t take it, I can’t handle it. We were in class last week, a couple minutes before the bell, right, just sitting at our desks, and I’m dicking around, you know, telling some stupid joke, and look, even I’ll admit it was stupid, okay, and whatever Voice I picked was shit, and I’ll admit it, okay? So Eddie’s of course rolling his eyes and opening his mouth to curse me out, but before he can, some kid sitting behind him goes, ‘Jesus, do you ever shut up, Tozier?’ Eddie fucking whips around to look at him, like the kid sneezed on his neck or something. Like so fast the kid, like, jolted, Bev. And then, and then, Eddie sounds livid and he says, he fucking says, ‘Do you ever mind your own damn business, Marvin, or is that empty skull of yours so boring you need to stick your nose in everyone else’s shit just to stay awake? Get a fucking life.’ Then he turns back to his fucking notebook, and without even looking at me again, calmly goes, ‘But do actually shut up, Richie.’ And Bev, I swear to fucking god, I was so red Bill actually, sincerely tried to get me sent to the nurse.”
“Yeah, you are pretty red, Richie, good lord,” Bev says, curiously testing his forehead with the back of her hand.
“See?! And I’m just retelling it! What the fuck!”
...
Richie tries to respond with something, you know, normal (Sure, Eds, I’ll be sure to stop by your room on the way to your mom’s later tonight) but all that comes out is a croaked “’Kay,” and some dumbass little wave. Eddie waves back and Richie accidentally lets the besotted smile slip through as Eddie leaves the theater and starts walking down the street, and he watches for longer than he knows he should.
“See, I told you Richie fucking Tozier wasn’t the only one,” Henry Bowers says behind him and Richie’s blood runs cold.
...
“Eds, do you think you might want to get remarried someday?”
After a moment of silence, Richie glanced up to see Eddie looking at him like Richie had just said he was giving up comedy to become a wood whittler. Richie immediately opened his mouth to backpedal like his life depended on it, until Eddie said, “What the fuck do you mean someday, I’m expecting a proposal, like, the instant the divorce goes through.” He whipped out his phone, still talking as he started tapping and scrolling. “Here, I’ve already picked out the ring I want, it’s a little pricey, but I’m budgeting to set aside some money from my next few paychecks, so it should be fine—”
Richie was not proud to admit that he had burst into tears right then and there.
...
this is super cute
