New York Turtles Help (for lack of a better name)

Summary:

trashmouth: hey so what food do you relate to

eds: are you trying to get to know me

trashmouth: yea

eds: what food do *you* relate to

trashmouth: a french fry

eds: why because you're weak and people get tired of you

trashmouth: well fuck you no one gets tired of french fries

***

Eddie joined a volunteering program at his university, mainly because it gave him lots of credits for his classes, but also because his friend Bev, who founded the whole thing, won't stop talking his ear out about how many things they do, and how amazing they are, and that everyone who joined them was basically a superior species. So, yeah, blame him for giving in, whatever. What he didn't know, when he finally accepted, was that all the newbies got assigned a tutor; someone with more experience on the program to guide them. He also didn't know his tutor would be so fucking annoying.

Notes:

hello!! thank you so much for reading this!! a couple of things before we start:

1. english is not my first language, so i'm really sorry if anything is wrong or doesn't make much sense! in theory everything should be fine but who knows because i don't have anyone to beta read it for me!

2. i started writing this around a year ago. crazy, i know, but life's crazy and i dont have time for anything and motivation comes and goes. anyway, it is basically entirely written already, because i was scared i would start posting it and then abandon it, which means i should be able to update every week! or even every few days, who knows. i still need to correct things and stuff

3. i have no clue how college works in the usa, so this is just my guess at it. don't take anything too seriously, some things just kinda work out.

happy reading!!

that was your idea of a joke???

 

um

yes?

 

omg

 

anyway

MY NAME IS RICHIE TOZIER AND I BELIEVE IM YOUR TUTOR IN THE INCREDIBLE PROJECT OF "NEW YORK TURTLES HELP"

we know the name is lacking but give us some time

the point is that we are the turtles and we help

 

October 7, 5:06 pm

 

hey Bev, there is this dude called Richie Tozier, he says he’s my tutor in the volunteering

should i be scared or is it really the person i got

 

eddie!

hi!

omg yeah that’s your mentor. i mean i told him to text you today so i guess it is him

 

he started the conversation saying he was a kidnapper

and then he said i’m sad

 

well that does sound like him

he’s really nice tho!! i’ve known him for so long i cant even remember dont worry

 

oh okay

i trust you i guess

 

cool!! you guys will get along i know it

he’s visiting family right now, that’s why he texted you

but he will be back in new york in like a month?? i think??? maybe earlier i dont really know

 

okay Bev, thank you so much

 

of course :)!

 

October 7. 5:09 pm

 

Bev told me about you

she didn’t say you were fucking stupid though

 

aww she's so sweet

but we got specially assigned following a very scientific method so idk what does that say about you

 

we did a stupid quiz what are you talking about

 

the quizzes don't lie

just like my hips

shakira shakira

 

it was ridiculous

"what object do you relate to"

what the fuck

 

what did you answer

 

a teapot

it's a stupid quiz

 

yuh

 

what did you say

 

so you’re interested

 

no i'm not

 

sure

i said im a cymbal

 

you sound fucking annoying

 

well i make music, and you’re a teapot

you tell me what is cooler

 

a cymbal does not make music

it makes sound that may accompany music

a teapot is cooler

 

so you like tea

 

nah i’m a coffee person

 

then what the fuck

 

i do stuff i don’t want

like talking to you

 

smooth

do you flirt as good as you insult

 

not with you

 

so anyway

first you should actually treat me with some respect im older and taller

 

how the fuck do you know you’re taller asshole

you don't know me

you have never seen me

 

i feel like you’re tense right now maybe i shouldnt have talked about height

we can measure dicks instead

 

what the fuck dude

 

woah that dude the moment we talk about dicks

very good i see you

 

ok first of all i didn’t even think about that

 

uh huh

 

and second of all how am i supposed to respect you

i can't

you just offered to compare our dicks i literally cant respect you

 

aw be a good boy and call me sir

 

my eyes are fucking crawling out of my face

ew

what the fuck that’s fucking gross

 

hey eds talking about relating to things, i feel like if you were a word you would be the word fuck

but maybe that’s just me idk idk

 

don't call me eds

that’s not my fucking name asshat

 

okay sorry eds i will never do it again eds

 

stop

 

second i was given your number so i can tell you about the fucking amazing awesome project of turtles helping because turtles are the fucking best

 

you also like to use the word fuck

 

yea

and well i was wondering if you had any question about the volunteering

 

well we already had the whole reunion with bev about the basics

and last years she wouldn’t stop telling me about it so i would join

i guess it worked

but anyway i feel like i have a good understanding of the program

i was just kind of wondering what would be the first event so i can organize my schedule

 

sure

we don’t really know yet tho

we are still waiting for the college to give us a budget

until now we were only recruiting new people

we have some events that we do every year tho, and usually the first thing is the famous and terrifying haunted house of pennywise the dancing clown

you know, to start the school year and attract people who like halloween, being drunk and jump scares

 

oh shit yeah i went into the fucking house last year

some fucking guy with spider legs sticking out of his skull made me fall down the stairs

 

that would be stan

he’s also tutoring someone

bill densomething i think??

 

bill denbrough?

 

maybe???

 

omg!! that’s my best friend!!

 

no way!! stan is my bestie!!

 

he must’ve done something terrible to have you as a best friend

 

ouch?!

 

i’m sorry i was joking but i realized i have a very aggressive sense of humor and you can’t really hear the joking affectionate tone in my voice

 

aw so we are already in the affectionate stage

 

no we’re not

for you is just joking

he must’ve done something terrible to have you as a best friend /j*

 

oh yes baby keep talking twitter to me

 

you are so gross

but the haunted house thing sounds good

thank you i guess

 

yes of course

i'll let you know if they tell me anything else

 

so when are you going to be back? bev told me you weren’t in new york

 

oh yeah im in maine

there was a flood and my parents house is kind of ruined

i'm helping them

 

yeah i know about those

i grew up in maine too

 

no shit really?

 

yeah it sucked

 

iadiwbciewka

anyway, it’s going to take some time to fix the whole house and throw away whatever is ruined

which is almost everything

and then replace it

well you know the drill

and im also taking the time to be with my family

i dont see them a lot

so ill be back in maybe three weeks or four?? i should be there for halloween, even tho you will have to start working without my superior guidance

 

such a shame for sure

but thanks i'll be texting you

anyway i should probably go

i said id have dinner with a friend so

 

i hate having diner at 6 you know

but have fun!!

are you going with bill

 

no, other friend

and what the fuck is wrong with 6

 

too early im hungry when i have to go to sleep

 

fucking weirdo

do second dinner like the rest of us



October, 9, 8:39 pm

 

hey so what food do you relate to

 

are you trying to get to know me

 

yea

you sound fun dude

and i always love to have a short king by my side

 

im not fucking short

what’s your problem

 

aw dont worry eds shorties are my type

 

well i dont want to be your type

what food did you put

 

a french fry

 

why because you’re weak and people get tired of you

 

well fuck you no one gets tired of french fries

 

i never finish my fries

 

then it must be a sign

like the olive theory

but with fries

ill finish your fries for you eds <3

 

i don’t think that’s how it works

i do believe in the olive theory tho

 

do you like olives

 

i cant fucking stand them

 

TOLD YOU IT WAS A SIGN

I LOVE OLIVES

 

it’s just a theory for a reason

 

you really hurt me you know

 

ok

anyway i relate to an egg

 

the food symbolism is sooo obvious eds

 

not my fucking name

but what do you mean

 

well dear eddie sir

as you may know french fries and fried eggs make the best meal you could ever imagine

 

nah

 

they do

 

nah

 

shut up im trying to make a point

 

sorry go ahead

 

thanks

they’re really good together

yeah that’s it

 

omfg

 

but we were meant to end up together you cant tell me otherwise

so why did you put eggs

 

idk they are versatile

 

oh so you are versatile? ;)

tell me more about it ;)

 

you know what, i would complain but i knew i worded it very badly the moment i sent it

so i’ll instead tell you about how unoriginal you are

 

the urge was too strong my apologies

eggs are good tho i like eggs

 

oh yeah? ;)

with sausage? ;)

 

i'm shook

October, 9, 8:51 pm

You are annoying and I don't point it out

 

you actually do

But anyway I met Bill… And we've been talking and he’s a big horror fan

 

omg stan!! judging bad horror movies is like your favorite activity ever!!

 

I know

So yeah we've been getting along

 

that's nice

well ill leave you now

 

Thanks



*

October, 9, 8:54 pm

 

that was actually horrible

see this is what you make me do

 

nonono you could have said something like stfu

you decided to joke about sausages instead

accept your mistake be a man

 

is that what you tell yourself when you wake up

 

woah

you are savage

 

yeah sorry if it bothers you

you can tell me anytime if i step over a line or whatever

 

are you kidding me eds it’s me who usually steps over every existing line

don’t worry about that

 

oh ok cool

 

people usually beep beep me if i go too far

 

beep beep?

 

beep beep

 

it must happen so often if you even have like a *thing* you say

you must be horrible

 

well fuck you

 

hey so how did you meet bev?

she founded the whole turtle volunteering project right

did you help her with it or

 

i mean yeah i kind of helped her start

i have contacts in the entertainment industry

so i got some people to act at the events she organized

 

woah i didn't know i was talking to a celebrity here

 

what can i say

im an important personality in the world of shitty stand up in unknown bars and bad garage bands that dont want me because i only know how to play weezer songs

but no the campaign was all her idea and she deserves all the credits

she is fucking badass

 

she really is

i met her last year she is the coolest person i’ve ever known

i dont see her much tho :(

there’s always a really hot guy with her too

 

omg yea thats ben!! they're dating

they're so in love i sometimes get kind of lonely and want to smash my head against a wall

 

cute

 

so fucking cute

but ive been here longer

i’ve known her since middle school and we've been besties since

 

i thought stan was your bestie???

 

he's my other bestie not you trying to gatekeep my friendship

 

you are ridiculous

 

anyway our love story started one day in the movies

i was going to watch a cool movie about a werewolf… but then something horrible happened…

i accidentally threw my slurpee all over Henry Bowers

 

omg you wrote it in caps who is that Scary Person™

 

he was like the bully psycho kid number one on our town

and being a dumbass and throwing a drink to his face was not a good idea

 

yea i had one of those too

he once tied my hands under the bleachers in the gym and left me there all night

 

well wtf we’re coming back to that later

 

it was a lot of drama

so unnecessary

what did bev do in the movies

i bet she did something awesome

 

she certainly did

she took her bucket of popcorn and put it in Bower's head while i run away

it was THE meet-cute

 

that does sound cute

 

and here we are happy forever until the day we die

we do everything together

you know she uses me as a model for her clothes in her instagram account

im just that inspiring

i um

i buy food for her when we’re together

sometimes

anyway she loooves me

 

oh really

i've never seen it

 

you can go stalk it if you want

i wont judge you

 

no thank you

 

ok

 

[5 min later] so anyway

you look dumb in most of the pictures

 

so i look good in some of them ;)

 

gross not the winky face

 

hey do you want my instagram @

i can just give it to you

 

i didn't ask what the fuck

but um sure i guess if you insist

 

oabeizlqbska

ok it is @trashmouth_

 

trashmouth omg that fits you so well

cause you are trash

 

omg yes!! you really know me eds!!

hey are you e.kaspbrk

 

nuh uh must be someone else for sure

 

i have a request from someone called hottimes.callmyass

maybe that’s you

 

yes

yes actually that’s me you should totally accept it

how could i forget

 

you’re so funny eds

so silly

 

yes im known for exactly that

 

hey

hey hey hey

why dont you have any picture

 

i dont like to post my face online

 

YOU ARE A CHEATER

SO UNFAIR

 

i dont know what you’re talking about

 

yes you do you fucking traitor

 

so anyway track training had just finished and this guy told me

 

yeah you change the subject

you disgusting asshole

shortie

 

im not fucking short what is wrong with you

im done you will never know how i spent a whole night in the gym and my mom called the police and a whole town started looking for me in the woods and my face was even briefly on the milk cartoons

 

did no one thought about looking in the high school????

 

who knows

you wont

 

NOO EDS

EDDIE

SIR TEAPOT SIR

DONT IGNORE ME

PLEASE

 

October, 9, 11:29 pm

 

ok so i was the only one left taking a shower after track cause it meant i could be alone

and no one would laugh at me for being grossed out by absolutely everything

i mean what the fuck changing rooms are so disgusting

 

i almost make a ur mom joke but im invested in the story and i dont want you to go

 

good call

 

nice

 

it was almost dark and i thought i would be alone but when i went out my own Scary Person™ was outside

and i was like ok eddie you can do this he is probably just hanging out or whatever

but before i could get to the door he called me

 

oh no

 

oh no indeed

i thought i was fucked

but he just asked me if i wanted some candy

which i guess should have made me suspect

but i said yes of course

 

omg eds you are so dumb i didnt think you would fall for that

you would be so dead in a scary movie

 

shut up asshole

it has a good explanation

 

oh right

 

yeah i swear

my mom was very strict and i was very caged my whole childhood and early teens

so is actually ironic that you almost make a ur mom joke

 

i am a prophet

i am a prophet i tell you

 

sure

anyway she never allowed me to eat candy so i would stay healthy and skinny

 

wtf

 

yea it's funny cause she ate in one meal as much as i ate in three days

i mean it took years to convince her to let me join a sports team because she was too scared i would get hurt

 

thats so weird dude wtf im sorry

 

nah dont worry

she’s not in my life anymore and i already moved on so dont pity me

 

does that mean i can make ur mom jokes without it being a touchy topic

 

yes

but dont make ur mom jokes seriously what is wrong with you

you are supposed to be a grown adult

 

my mama told me i would always be her baby

guess yours too because in comparison you must've been baby sized for her

 

im so done

you are so not funny

stop talking to me im gonna block you

 

ok

 

[5 min later] so i go with this kid to a corner where he was with his friends

honestly i was so fucking dumb

and i mean i ate half of what other kids ate so i was small as fuck

 

aww i knew you were a short king

 

that was in fifth grade shitface i have grown since then

im not short

 

sure

 

well one of them grabbed me and pulled me under the bleachers

and the other two tied my hands

and they left me there

and all the clubs and sports were done so no one came into the gym until the next morning

 

did they find you there?

 

fuck no

that would be so embarrassing omfg

i had some scissors on my fanny pack so after some time i could take them out and cut the rope

i spent the first couple of hours having a panic attack but after that everything was fine really

 

YOU HAD A FANNY PACK

 

that’s really what you take from all that

 

I MEAN YEAH

YOU HAD A FANNY PACK

THATS SO CUTE EDS

DID YOU ALWAYS HAD IT WITH YOU OOOR?

 

yes

it was really useful shut up

 

UNTIL WHAT GRADE?

THAT’S SO CUTE OMG

 

it was not cute

and until 9th grade

shut up

i slept on a yoga mat and got out before anyone could find me in the morning

then went to school like any other day and went back home where my crying mom made me spent the whole weekend in the emergency room

 

what did you tell her

about what happened

 

that i got lost in the woods

i didn't want her to homeschool me or something

but i left a box of chocolates in the police office because i felt bad for them

 

aww

you are so considerate

 

shut the fuck up

 

not that you have shown that part of you to me

 

i wonder why

anyway i'm going to sleep now

 

it’s so early tho

 

it’s almost midnight

 

oh

ok i didnt realize that

still early tho

 

is wednesday

and i have an early start tomorrow

 

ow fuck i hate early morning classes

 

yeah same

 

btw i just realized i never asked

what are you majoring in?

 

mechanical engineering

 

hot

 

shut up

 

will you be a hot mechanic when you grow up eds

 

i am already a grown up

 

will you be all greasy and sweaty with your biceps exposed

fixing a car wearing only sexy overalls not even underwear

 

that would be so gross and uncomfortable

i don't think it would be healthy to have your dick floating there

the overalls fabric would be too rough

 

and so hot and sexy eds

 

shut up dickhead i am not a sexy mechanic

and i will never be

i just like cars and trains

 

well i have a massive train if you want to study that

 

you are so gross

shut up asshat

 

are you sure eds i could rail that tunnel really well

 

ok beep fucking beep

 

woah you are really strong i have never got this far without someone beep beeping me

i was wondering when would you give in

 

you are fucking gross asshole of course i gave in what the fuck

i'm going to sleep now

i'm going to have nightmares and it will be your fault

 

if you want to call them that
