Stan and Mike were the first to arrive at Bill's that afternoon. They helped him set up and get the living room ready for the sleepover.

"Yeah my mom took Guh-Georgie with her to go visit my dad's sister in Bangor." Bill explained as he grabbed his chocolate milk from the fridge.

Mike peaked over Bill's shoulder into the fridge, "Aw that's nice. Hey Big Bill why do you have so much chocolate milk?" He tilted his head.

Stan snorted from where he was leaning against the counter, "He'll show you" he nodded to Bill who began chugging the milk with his gatorade cape.

Mike released an over dramatic gasp, "no way"  he held a hand over his mouth.

Bill lowered the jug, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, "Yes way!" Bill exclaimed.

Before the trio could say anything else they were interrupted by the sound of the doorbell. "I-I'll get that" Bill stuttered as he put his jug down to go get the door. He opened the door wide to reveal Ben and Beverly.

"Hey!" They both greeted in unison at the sight of their friend opening the door.

Bill smiled and stepped aside, "Come on in" He motioned for them to enter.

The two set their stuff up in the family room as Bill went and grabbed his bin of DVDs and VHS from the basement for later when they wanted to watch a movie.

Richie pulled into the driveway of the Denbrough residence and killed the engine. He glanced down at his hand which tightly held Eddie's. The wolf lifted the rabbits hand up and kissed his knuckles. "Try and have some fun tonight, okay?" He winked at the blushing bunny.

"I'll try." Eddie agreed.

The two got out and retrieved their bags from the back of the jeep, walking side by side up the main pathway and onto the front step. Richie reached out and rang the doorbell, he sent a smile at Eddie who mirrored his grin.

The door swung open to reveal Stanley Uris who leaned up against the doorframe with a small smile at the sight of friends, "Richard, Edward, glad you two could make it".

"Staniel the Maniel, a pleasure as always" Richie smiled as he wrapped the golden haired human up in a tight hug.

Richie let out a little breath at the sudden physical attention but eventually returned the hug. "Good to see you too Trashmouth" He smiled as Rihcie let him go. Eddie smiled at him, "Same to you Eddie" he smiled, the two mentally agreeing to not engage in a hug.

Everyone said their hellos and eventually gravitated towards the family room where they all found their respected spots. Richie sat sprawled out on the recliner with Eddie sat on the floor in front of him. Mike and Bill shared the love seat while Stan sat on the arm rest and leaned up against the back, while Ben and Bev shared the other love seat.

"Okay what do you guys wanna watch first?" Mike asked the group as they all glanced around at each other, as if Mike had just opened Pandora's box because all hell just broke loose.

Beverly wanted to watch the new movie with J Lo, Hustlers, which Stan said no to. Bill wanted to watch Back to the Future which everyone automatically disagreed with as that would've been their 10th time watching it together. Stan wanted to watch the new National Geographic documentary on birds, which everyone but Eddie said no to. Richie started shouting about watching his all time favourite movie The Hangover, which Stan refused to watch again, he claimed it was "Crude and Stupid" (Richie took great offense to that).

"Guys what about Toy Story?" Ben piped up. Even though everyone was having a shouting contest they all quickly quieted down and looked over at him.

Bev hummed happily, "I haven't seen that movie in ages!".

"Isn't that like a kids movie?" Stan countered.

Mike nudged him, "But it is a classic" he wiggled his eyebrows.

"I-I'm always down to watch To-Toy Story" Bill agreed from beside Stan who sighed. "Fine" he slightly rolled his eyes, though he wasn't that mad as he does generally enjoy that movie.

Eddie titled his head backwards to look up at Richie. "Rich, what's Toy Story about?" he asked quietly in fear of the others hearing.

Richie nodded in understanding as he knew that in The All Lands they didn't watch movies and stuff. He leaned down with an amused smile and replied, "It's about toys that are alive, it's cute, like you, you'll like it". Richie leaned back up, but left his hand down on Eddie's head as he ruffled his soft brown hair that wasn't hidden under his beanie.

Stan and Bill got up to set up the movie. Stan switched the lights off which caused Eddie to thank some various deities as it hid his red flushed cheeks. Bill popped the movie into the DVD player before reclaiming his spot on the couch. He proceeded to flick through the options on the DVD.

Eddie leaned into his touch. Richie reciprocated by sliding his hand into the bunny's beanie and playing with his hair, he twirled it between his fingers and smoothed down the other's floppy ears. Eddie was practically melting into the floor. His thoughts were whipped, the only thing he thought about was how Richie's hand felt in his hair and how if he listened close enough, he could hear Richie's heart beating just as fast as his.

Everyone actually really enjoyed the movie, Eddie included. Once the credits began to roll Beverly suggested that they watch the second one as it is superior and also has some really good characters.

"Well I don't know about you guys but I need to go use the bathroom" Mike said as he rose from his seat.

Richie tilted his head up before he spoke, "You mean the urination stat-"

Stan cut in, "Don't you dare" He shot a glare at Richie who in return looked at him with a shit eating grin.

Mike stopped and leaned against the wall beside him, "No, no, let him speak. I wanna hear it" He nodded towards Richie which made Stan loudly sigh.

"What I was going to say before I was rudely interrupted was that the proper name for it is the urination station." Richie broke out into a vague british accent towards the end.

"He's not wrong" Ben giggled, recalling their past conversation.

Stan pinched the bridge of his nose as if it hurt to listen to Richie talk about this. "God, call it anything else, literally." Yes, Stan might've been conveying that Richie annoyed the shit out of him and that he'd literally strangle the Trashmouth if he had the chance, but this was the way it always was. That's just Richie and Stan's friendship.

Richie chuckled, "Hey at least it's better than that period where I just said 'I gotta take a leak'" He pointed out as everyone groaned in unison.

"D-Don't remind me" Bill lightly shook his head.

"That was terrible. Oh wait!" Stan had to stop to laugh a little, "Remember the week before Mike's dog got neutered and he literally humped Richie's leg so bad it left bruises?". Everyone laughed at the memory, Stan literally snorted as he recalled the day after when Richie came in and put his foot on the table to display his bruise littered shin.

Mike, who was still leaning against the wall, clutched his stomach as he laughed. Bill held a hand over his mouth in an attempt to stifle his laugh, but that didn't stop him from toppling off the couch and onto the floor.

Even Eddie, though he wasn't there, still laughed at the mental image. Suddenly the bunny felt a little colder as Richie moved his hand away from his head and got up from the recliner.  Eddie glanced up at the wolf who leaped onto the love seat and sprawled over Stan.

In between laughs, Richie exclaimed, "Staniel gets off a good one!". His black inky hair flopped into his face only making the trashmouth laugh more.

Stanley smiled down at him. He raised a hand and carefully swept Richie's hair back out of his face. "Chee you've gotta get this shit cut." Stan twirled a piece of black hair with his finger.

It was so subtle, Eddie almost didn't notice it. It was so quick and natural, he almost let it slide. Chee? Did Stan just call him Chee? Whatever... It's just a nickname, it's not like I'm the only one who calls him that. But I thought that was my nickname for him. The bunny shook his head, It's not like anyone else calls me Eds, only Richie does, cause it's his nickname for me. Eddie pushed the thoughts down and focused on something else in the room.

Everything else probably would've gone smoothly if Eddie didn't catch Richie leaning up, off of Stan only to whisper something into his ear. Stan replied but Eddie couldn't make it out, but whatever it was made him feel like he was moments away from throwing up his lunch.

Since everyone was still recovering from their little laugh attack, Eddie used it to his advantage, "Wow, that was a good one" He laughed nervously, standing up from where he sat on the floor, "I gotta go to the bathroom before I piss my pants." He tried so hard to sound amused before quickly rushing out of the family room and towards the nearest bathroom.

He shut and locked the door then yanked his beanie off in an attempt to stop the incoming headache before it had too much time to form. His head and ears were hot from so much blushing and the whirlwind of emotions he was currently experiencing.

Eddie shoved the beanie into his back pocket before he moved to stand before the sink where he turned the water on cold. He leaned down and cupped his hands together under the running water and splashed it onto his face. He could practically hear the sizzling sound as the cold water touched his burning face.

What the fuck is wrong with me? Is it jealousy? Am I jealous of Stan? Why? Just cause he and Richie have been friends for years and have all these nicknames and inside jokes? Fuck, just get over it. It's not like Richie can't have other friends, he's not yours. He's Richie, and Richie is friends with everyone, just friends...

"Are you sure about this Staniel?" Richie whispered up to Stan as they got up to the second floor of the Denbrough residence.

Stan turned and gave him a look, "Uh-Yeah Rich, I'm pretty sure I know a murder conspiracy board when I see one." He shot back.

After Eddie left to go use the bathroom, (Which Richie kinda found odd, something was off. He made a mental note to go check on Eddie later), the two used the opportunity to tell the others they also needed to go to the urination station, which allowed them to go upstairs without suspension.

"Okay well let's make this quick. Don't need Billiam having any other reasons to be spying on us." Richie grumbled as he recalled how Bill followed Eddie home, and how worried Eddie was about this whole situation. That's why Richie decided to go with Stan, alone. He wanted to check it out for himself before they showed Eddie. He didn't want to give him another thing to stress him out more than he already was.

Stanley led the werewolf towards Bill's room. He nudged the door open and slid through the crack. Once they were inside Stanley moved to stand in front of the desk. His heart still skipped a beat when he laid his eyes upon the display in front of them.

"Fuck" Richie gasped.

Stan watched his eyes dart from picture to picture. The big brown eyes behind the glasses followed the strings of yarn to various places on the board, as everything was somehow connected.

For a minute the golden haired boy stood beside the one with black curls as they both examined the board. Stan crossed his arms over his chest then raised one hand to stroke his chin. "He thinks Eddie is related to his father's death, or the cause of it." Stan theorised.

"And?" Richie asked, his voice became serious with the severity of the situation.

Stan turned to Richie, his lips in a thin line, "And?" He repeated with a tinge of attitude, "Is this true? Is Eddie connected to this?".

Richie shook his head, unable to take in so much at once, "I-I don't know."

Stan took a step forward, he pointed at the picture of the white rabbit labeled 'Last Thing On Dad's Phone'. "Is this Eddie?" he demanded.

"I think so, Stanley I'm not sure." Richie almost growled.

"Well he must be connected somehow or else Bill wouldn't be so obsessed with this." Stan leaned in closer to examine some of the notes.

Richie closed the distance between the two, "Don't let Eddie catch wind of this, alright? We don't tell him until we have solid proof, alright?".

Stan was about to respond when a third voice called out to them, "Proof of what?"

The two turned around to see Eddie standing in the open doorway.
