It took some convincing, but soon the losers were on their way to Hawkins Indiana. Eddie, of course, had the hardest time convincing his mother. He ended up feeding her a few reassuring lie, and was extremely surprised to find himself on his way to Hawkins at all. The ride was long and tiring, and when the losers saw the sign that read 'welcome to Hawkins Indiana' they were exstatic. They hopped off of the bus they had ridden, and grabbed their bikes,  (Ik you probably can't bring bikes in a bus. I don't care.) and ride through the unfamiliar town in search of the address richie had given them. 

"Guys I see it!" Eddie exclaimed excitedly when he finally spotted the small house. They dropped their bikes in a pile on the ground, ran up the door, and knocked. 

"Eddie, you have to tell him today." Bev whisper-shouted to Eddie. 

"What? Why today?!" 

"You've already waited four. Years. Eddie!" 

"Bev, what if he doesn't liek me that way? I can't handle rejection like that, you know it! And then I have to spend the entire rest of the summer in the same house as him, and.... " 

"He does! Trust me! You have three months." Neither noticed that a boy that looked scarily similar to richie had been standing in the doorway the entire time. 

Not until Stan gave Beverly a sharp kick to the ankle, and they both looked up quockly. 

"Shit!" Bev cursed. 

Eddie just stared blankly at the boy, face pale, and mouth hanging open. 

"I uh..." he began.

"No, it's fine... I won't say anything.. and I'm no homophobe... mike wheeler." He stick out his hand. 

"H-hi." Said Eddie, shakily taking the boy's hand, and shaking it. His face had gone from white, to being red as a tomato. 

"I'm uh... Eddie." 

"RICHIE!" Mike shouted for his twin brother. 

Richie ran as fast as his legs could carry him to the door. 

As soon as richie saw the losers his face lit up. He hadn't seen them for a month, and it was absolute, utter torture. Being with his brother and without his shitty parents made up for it however. 

"Eds! Ms. Ringwald! Billiam! Stan the man! Haystack! Mikey! I missed you all SO MUCH" 

"Hey richie!" Said Ben. 

"Hello trash mouth!" Said Stan. 

"Richie!" Squeaked Eddie. 

"Trash mouth!" Said bev, and in unison, her and Richie gave each other finger guns, and winked. It was just something they did. 

"H-hey richie!" Said Bill. 

Mike saluted him, and they all walked into the house. 

Seeing mike  and Richie side by side came as a shock to the losers. Twins were usually similar, but they could have sworn that the pair were identical down to the last freckle. If Richie didn't have his big, chunky glasses, they couldn't tell them apart. 

Aside from richies horrid sense of style, which was unmistakable) 

Haven't been able to find any really good fics lately, so any recommendations? Shameless self promo? 

Yea?
