Bill's POV
There it is, the dreaded question. What are we? I don't know, how am I supposed to answer if I don't know myself?

"Umm... well I guess that depends on what you want to be?" It came out as a question and he looked at me confused.

"Well I want to be with you." He grabbed my hand because we were sitting beside eachother. And I smiled "me too."

"So are we a couple?" He asked, I could tell he was afraid of the answer. "Yes! Always Stan!" I said and pulled him in for a tight hug.

He laughed and we pulled apart then went to eat out french toast, keeping one hand laced with the other person's.

----------

Me and Stan decided to tell our friends because they're all that matter. So we called up Richie, Eddie, Ben, Mike, and Beverly the told then to meet us at the Quarry. 

Me and Stan sat on a rock waiting for everyone else, it was kind of awkward. The silence was defening.

Soon enough we could hear Richie say in some dumb mom joke and we knew it was time. From the corner of my eye I saw Stan take a deep breath and shoot me a nervous smile.

Once everyone showed up we pretended like nothing was different. Richie said: "we should go swimming. It's so hot!" There were 'yeah's' and 'sure's' so everyone took of their clothes, only to be left in under wear.

I took mine off slowly, worried what Stan would think of me. Once I was finished along with everyone else we one-by one- jumped off of the cliff.

It was me and Stan at the top and I looked over the edge and took a shaky breath. Stan grabbed my hand and wispered in my ear "hey beautiful, you've got this." I blushed and turned to him smiling.

He squeezed my hand and we looked at eachother one more time before jumping.

Stan's POV
"Let's play Marco Polo!!!" Bev called out and everyone agreed, smiling and laughing.

"MARCO!!!" Richie yelled out with his eyes closed, and everyone responded with Polo, trying to move away from him.

We would all laugh really quietly and mess with Richie.

We stayed like this, playing pointless games  in the water for another two hours.

Bill's POV
We all sat on some rocks or a towel that we brought an talked about nothing in particular.

After a while Stan stood up and said: "so... i--- we... have something to tell you." He gestured for me to stand up and I did "so uhhh, we're a thing." Stan continued and we both looked to the ground.

"Well its about time. I told you they would end up together Eds." Richie called out and walked over to us putting a hand on each of our shoulders.

"Group hug!" Bev yelled and I latched onto Stan with everyone else hugging us. We didn't notice when they let go, so we stayed like that with our arms around eachother and our eyes closed.

We slowly pulled apart and someone yelled "Well,  I've gotta go..." Richie. He grabbed Eddie's arm and pulled him towards their bikes.

Soon after everyone was gone. "I like hugging you.  It makes me feel safe." Stan said while blushing, I smiled and pulled him into my arms, also loving the feeling.

He burried his face in my neak and took a deep breath. We hugged for a long time, neither of us wanting to ever let go.

Eventually I did, knowing my parents would be home soon and worry about us. So we walked home. Slowly linking our hands together and smiling.

Everything was perfect until we heard a soft scared voice, "...help."
