richie and will met when richie came to hawkins to visit for a month during summer. richie was mike wheelers annoying cousin.
when they met, it was immediate connection, richie attached himself to will like he was a piece of metal and will was a very strong magnet, and from that point, they became a pair.
that was two weeks ago and they shared their first kiss two days. immediate connection.
fast forward, the party was hanging out in the basement which had become richies bedroom for the month and a half he was staying, he had privacy but not much. mike and el were cuddled up, max was sleeping in one of the beanbags and dustin and lucas were arguing about something at the D&D table.
will was sitting on the couch, his eyes focused on his sketchbook instead of the tv where some shitty movie mike picked out was playing, richies head on his lap.
richie was laid on the couch, his head rested comfortably in wills lap, he kept pushing mikes head every few minutes, claiming it was in the way, which it wasnt but he enjoyed pissing mike off. he wasnt even focused on the movie so it wouldn’t have really mattered if mikes head was in the way or not, he was too focused on the way will smelled. he smelt like sun warmed cotton, pine and old books with a hint of some random soap richie couldnt exactly pinpoint.
will smelled quiet, not loud like richie whose scent consisted of cheap drugstore deodorant, cherry bomb perfume, the faintest hint of sugar and winston cigarettes that will hated since smoking reminded him of his father and he just never liked the smell of cigarette smoke either.
will liked the way richie smelt despite the cigarette smell, richie smelled warm and alive, not clean-clean but human while richie liked the way will smelt because will smelled safe, like you could run home to him if you were trouble, as if breathing near will was just easier than breathing anywhere else.
will absentmindedly stroked richies curls as richie complained once again about mikes big head being in the way. he couldnt help but smile at richies antics while his other hand continued to sketch distractedly. will enjoyed richies jokes and antics, he found richie hilarious.
richie shoved mikes head again “move your big fat head, wheeler! you’re blocking the tv!” he complained, smiling and laughing as he pushed his head.
mike groaned and glared at richie “quit it, you’re being obnoxious, richard.” he said, huffing
richie laughed harder “oh am i, michael?” he mocked, snorting loudly, he almost woke up max.
mike scoffed angrily “mouth breather.” he muttered, turning his head away, shaking it in annoyance.
richie pushed his head again “christ, learn how to curse, dipshit! we’re not fucking ten anymore!” he said, laughing
will cracked a small smile which he instantly hide so mike wouldn’t see and get upset over since the whole night would be ruined if mike got genuinely upset, like the kind of upset that made him get up and stomp his feet all the way upstairs like a child who got denied candy.
richie continued his antics uncaringly “hey frogface, you-“ he suddenly got cut off, his mouth pressed shut. he was unable to move it no matter how hard he tried.
el was using her powers to shut richie up so he would stop insulting and making fun of mike, a trickle of blood coming from her nose.
richie huffed and turned his entire head away, facing wills stomach instead of the room, his breath grazing against wills stomach where a sliver of skin was exposed which made wills breath hitched, his hand stilling momentarily in richies hair.
el finally stopped using her powers so richie could talk away, wiping her nose and relaxing into mikes side who smiled and kissed her head. will looked at richie, seeing the somewhat sour expression on his face “hey, you okay? you look upset?” he asked worriedly, leaning down so no one else would hear their conversation
richie huffed softly, looking at will “fucking wonder chick ruining all my fun” he said as he nuzzled his face in wills crotch without thinking much about it
will swallowed hard as his breath caught again, nodding slowly and sitting back again “oh..” he said quietly, looking back at his sketchbook and absentmindedly tightening his hand in richies curls, keeping him in place against his growing bulge.
richie felt it but didn’t move, he wasnt an idiot or painfully oblivious to wills feelings like mike was so he knew will liked him, and he liked will thats why he kissed will two nights ago. everyone was upstairs for dinner already, will was waiting on richie while he found a different shirt to wear since dustin had spit out chocolate milk all over richie while laughing. richie insisted he didnt have to wait but will said it was fine, once he had found a shirt, he took the chocolate milk soaked one off which to no suprise, he was wet and sticky with chocolate milk. will immediately grabbed a rag and some water, putting the water on the rag and began cleaning the sugary wetness off richies chest, richies breath caught and before he knew what he was doing, he leaned in and kissed will and will kissed him back, it took him a moment to let the suprise wear off but he did, he kissed back.
wills heart pounded in his chest as he felt richies warm breath through his suddenly too tight jeans, he knew richie liked him and he liked richie which made this all the more intense for him. his fingers tightened further in richies hair, hoping the boy wouldn’t pull away.
richie did the opposite of pulling away, he nuzzled in further, his nose crooked in between wills thighs.
wills breathing got heavy which he tried to hide, his eyes fluttered shut and his head leaned back against the cushions as he felt a jolt of electricity sent through his body at the intimate position. his cock now straining against his jeans as he felt richie inhaling his scent. he hoped to god the others were engrossed in the shitty movie to notice what was happening between the two of them.
richie pulled his head back slightly before shifting and laying his head flat in wills lap, looking up at will.
will lifted his head up from the couch cushions and opened his eyes, looking down at richie. wills brown eyes meet richies own brown ones, his lips part slightly as he stared down at the boy in his lap, his hand moving from richies hair to his face, his thumb tracing the curve of richies jaw. the movie was forgotten, the others in the room momentarily meaningless, there was only richie, vulnerable and beautiful looking in his lap, like a deer.
“you felt it, didnt you?” he whispered to richie, his voice barely audible
richie nodded, smiling up at him. he liked the feel of wills erection against his face suprisingly and couldnt help wondering what it would feel like to have pressed up against other places
will felt his cheeks heat up and his mind was immediately filled with images and thoughts that he definitely shouldnt be imagining right now like what would richies mouth would like wrapped around him.
will was nervous to act on his desires but something about richies eagerness gave him confidence. he gently pulled richie up and got up, grabbing his hand “come with me” he whispered urgently as he practically dragged richie towards the basement stairs.
richie took his hand and followed, glancing back at everyone nervously.
will glanced back too, meeting mike's confused and somewhat angry gaze briefly before pulling richie up the stairs. he didn't care if mike wondered where they were going or what they were doing or even if he was angry about it—right now, all he cared about was getting richie alone. as soon as they reached the top of the stairs, will pulled richie towards mikes bedroom.
“mike is gonna be pissed we’re in his room” he said, smiling as will closed the door “hes so damn touchy about his stuff. dont touch this, no, put that back” he mocked mike, laughing
"let him be pissed," will muttered softly, turning to face richie. he reached out and grabbed richies hips, pulling him flush against his body. he could feel richies warmth, his breath, and it was driving him crazy. "i wanna kiss you.”
richie looked down at will, biting his lip softly “okay.” he said, nodding with a smile, going straight in and kissing him eagerly as will groaned softly, kissing back, his hands squeezing richies hips. will loved how eager richie was, how uninhibited he was when it came to showing affection or initiating kisses. "mmph..."
richie kept his hands to himself, not wanting to overwhelm or scare will away. he put them in fist at his sides which will noticed and smiled as he gently pulled back, his breathing a little heavy “you can touch me, you know, i wont break or anything like that” he said, taking richies hands and relaxing them before placing them on his chest over his rapidly beating heart “this- this is all for you.” he whispered before leaning in and kissing richie deeper than before.
richie looked at him, swallowing before kissing him back hungrily as his hands slipped under wills shirt, touching his bare chest, feeling the toned muscle there.
will moaned softly at the touch, feeling confident, he pulled back momentarily to yank his shirt off, revealing his toned torso
richie paused, looking at wills body and practically drooling, not practically. he was actually drooling. will looked, no, was absolutely gorgeous, like some mythical, whimsical creature that only exists in stories and paintings, an absolute god and richie was willing to be his devoted follower, servant, slave, whatever will wanted him to be.
will blushed deeply, feeling the weight of richies hungry gaze. He wasn't used to being looked at like that—like he was something sacred, something worth worshipping. the drool made him chuckle softly, reaching out to wipe it away with his thumb. "like what you see?" He teased, voice low and breathy but also a little awkward since this was his first time being with someone like this.
richie immediately took wills thumb into his mouth, sucking on it eagerly as he stared at wills body, not able to take his eyes away from the masterpiece in front of him.
wills eyes widened as richie sucked his thumb, his cheeks hollowing out around it. He could feel the wet warmth of richies mouth, and it went straight to his cock. He pulled his thumb out slowly with a pop sound before grabbing richies wrist and placing both hands on his soft abs intentionally
richie fell to his knees in front of will, his hands and lips roaming all over his body like he was starving and searching for the nearest food source. wills head fell back, his hands fisted in richies hair as the boy knelt before him. richies mouth was everywhere—his abs, his chest, his neck. it felt like heavenly torture. will looked down his body, watching richie worship him with such fervor.
richie groaned softly and paused, his face turning red and looked up at will, a hint of embarrassment creeping up on his face “shit.” he muttered, looking down again
wills eyes snapped down to richies face, seeing the embarrassment and red cheeks. he immediately softened his expression, running his fingers through richies hair gently. "hey... hey, look at me," he whispered softly. "whats wrong? do you not want to? we dont have to do anything-“
“no its not that, i-“ richie cut himself off, shifting slightly in discomfort “i sorta came, in my pants.” he said awkwardly, rubbing the back of his head
wills eyes widened in surprise, then softened with understanding and slight amusement. “oh, really?" he asked softly with disbelief but genuine concern, not wanting to make richie feel embarrassed.
richie nodded and slowly stood up, looking at will as he shifted slightly again. will slowly wrapped his arms around richies waist, pulling him close. He could see the damp spot on richies jeans, and it made his cock throb. richie had literally cum just from touching him—will didnt even know that was possible. "thats... that's actually really hot, you know," he whispered shyly, blushing with a small smile
richie smiled softly, blushing and shifting again uncomfortably “i didnt mean to, it just happened, guess its been a while since i jerked off” he tried to joke but it didnt quite land due to his awkwardness
will furrowed his brows slightly, looking at richie “what do you mean a while? like two, three days?” he asked softly, his mind immediately filled with images of richie jerking off, alone in his bed at night.
“uh, maybe a week, im not sure” he said, swallowing “its kinda hard to do it while in the wheelers basement, theres not a lock on the basement door” he said, looking down and shifting uncomfortably once again. the basement had essentially became riches bedroom while he was in hawkins visiting since the wheelers had three children and no guest bedroom.
wills eyes widened slightly, realizing how little privacy richie had. he felt a pang of sympathy. if richie couldn't even jerk off in peace, then will wanted to be the one to take care of him. "fuck, that's rough,” he muttered softly
“you’re just really hot” richie said, laughing softly with a smile “seriously, who knew will byers was sculpted like a fucking greek god” he said, forcing himself to sound more genuine so will knew he meant it.
will blushed deeply, smiling shyly and looking down at his body. he was fit—everyone knew that. But hearing richie say he was sexy, that he was a 'greek god', made his heart swell with pride and desire, also confidence. he suddenly really wanted richie to see more of him.
he shifted uncomfortably once again “fucking hell, this shit is uncomfortable” he groaned, looking at will. will immediately focused on richies discomfort. "uh okay, hold on," he said softly, unbuttoning richies jeans carefully. "lets get you out of these wet pants, okay?" his voice was gentle like always as he helped pull richies jeans down his thighs, pausing as he saw the wet spot on richies boxers, swallowing.
he looked at will, slowly nodding and letting him take off his jeans “i might need a minute before i get hard again” he said awkwardly, looking at him. will immediately nodded understandingly, helping richie step out of his jeans “uh, yeah of- of course, take your time.” he said, nodding and mentally cursing himself for how awkward he was being. he tossed the jeans aside and gently guided richie to sit on the bed, kneeling in front of him, his hands gently caressing Richie's thighs. "im not, like, going anywhere." he said, shrugging his shoulders and giving richie a small awkward, shy smile.
richie looked down at will “can i take my boxers off too?” he asked, reaching for the waistband “there, ya know, wet” he said awkwardly, cringing visibly at his own awkwardness. will let out a tiny laugh at the visible cringe on richies face before nodding, covering his mouth to hide his smile. he looked up at richie who still looked unsure “yeah, take them off,” he said softly, biting his lip gently. he wanted to see all of richie, to touch him, to taste him, god he was needy. “i wanna- let me see you.” he said finally, swallowing and looking at richie.
richie slowly nodded and pushed his boxers off, revealing his lower half completely “mike is gonna be pissed i have my bare ass on his bed, if he finds out-“ he began joking when will cut him off. see, richie made jokes, a lot of jokes, ones specifically about how big his dick is and everyone thought they were just that, jokes and maybe even richie exaggerating his size but turns out, nope, not a joke and definitely not an exaggeration, man was hung like a horse.
wills jaw dropped as he took in richies cock—thick, long, veiny, covered in his own mess. the jokes were real. will had heard them all, but he never thought they were true. now he was staring at something that looked like it belonged in a porno, not in real life. “oh my god!” he said louder than he intended, immediately covering his mouth and looking at richie with wide eyes.
richie looked at him with an innocent expression before grinning as he started another joke “what? my dick too big for you? most people cant handle it ya know.” he said with a big, stupid grin. wills face turned bright red at richies joke, his own cock throbbing in his jeans. “its fucking huge.” he muttered in shock “can i touch it?” he blurted out, immediately covering his mouth.
richie looked down at him, pausing and swallowing before nodding “yeah, i mean, if you think you can handle it-“ he cut himself off with a gasp followed by a groan, instinctively bucking his hips as will reached out and grabbed richies large size with one hand, stroking it slowly. he wasn’t exactly sure what he was doing but based on the sound richie made, he guessed he was doing something right. “will, jesus fucking christ- ah..”
will bite his lip, enjoying the sounds richie was making. he wrapped both hands around richies shaft, trying to cover as much length as possible. he was definitely not going to fit all of this in his mouth or ass anytime soon without prep, but fuck did he want to try.
richie leaned back on his palms as he craned his head back, letting out a small moan “holy fuck.. ah, mm fuck, fuck.” he cursed, gripping onto mike’s bedding. will smirked slightly, feeling a slight rush of power. he was the one making richie make those sounds, he was the one making him feel good. he was getting a real kick out of richie unraveling so quickly. he leaned forward and kissed the head of richies cock, then looked up at him through his lashes. "need that minute anymore?" he teased confidently, his tongue flicking out to taste the precum pooling at the tip. richie tasted absolutely divine to him, perfect mix of sweet and salty.
“no.” he quickly said, looking down at him and groaning “ah, holy fuck, will, please.” he breathed out heavily. will didn't need to be told twice. he opened his mouth wide and took as much of richies length as he could, gagging slightly around the thick head. his hands gripped richies thighs to hold him steady as he relaxed his jaw and started bobbing his head, sucking and licking eagerly. “mmmph..."
richie couldn’t help but buck his hips, thrusting his cock further into wills warm mouth. he felt like he was floating almost, like he was in heaven, did they allow gays in heaven? maybe there was a gay heaven but if not, richie would willingly go to hell for this, wills mouth felt so damn good. will moaned around the thick length, his tongue swirling around the sensitive head each time he pulled back. He felt richies hips thrust forward and welcomed it, allowing him to fuck his mouth gently. he reached up and wrapped a hand around the base, squeezing and playing with his heavy balls. he’d seen guys do this in porn to their partner and they always liked it so he thought that what he was supposed to do.
richie jumped slightly as he felt wills hand on his balls “ah! fuck, will, warn a guy next time before you grab his nuts” he said, looking down at him. will instantly pulled his hand away and pulled back entirely “sorry, i thought guys like that” he said, his face scrunching up slightly in embarrassment. “did i hurt you?” he asked worriedly, looking up at richie.
“no, just caught me off guard.” he said, his voice softening “im okay, it actually felt kind of nice before you pulled away” he said softly, giving will a reassuring smile “you can do it again if you want, im okay, i promise.”
will nodded slowly and brought his hand back down, giving richies balls a gentle squeeze before as warning before beginning to massage and play with them as he moved his head back down, putting richies cock back in his mouth and sucking eagerly with small gags. richie groaned and pulled at the bedding, his hips lifting slightly off the bed “oh fuck, fuck, fuck..” he cursed repeatedly.
will took his time, licking and sucking and tugging gently on richies balls. He could feel richie getting harder with each passing second, his cock now fully hard and throbbing in wills mouth. wills nose brushed against Richie's pubes with every deep thrust. the smell of him was intoxicating—musky and hot.
"richie," will moaned against his shaft.
“will, fuck, stop im gonna cum” he groaned out, looking down at him and moving a hand to pull will off gently. will ignored richies attempt to push him away and instead doubled down, sucking harder and faster. he wanted to taste richies cum, to feel him lose control in his mouth. with a final swift movement, he swallowed around the thick head and that was all it took. "mmmph!"
“holy fuck!” richie cried out as he came, thrusting his hips forward as he did so. he felt like every part of his body was on fire but the warmth it gave him was the best thing he had ever experienced. if will was the fire, he’d let the embers of will burn him til there was nothing left but ash and his ridiculously big glasses.
will moaned around richies cock as he came, swallowing every drop greedily. when richie finally finished throbbing in his mouth, will pulled off slowly, licking his lips and wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. “jesus christ," he breathed out and looked up at richie.
“dont believe in him” he panted with a laugh and looked at will “well, i might now actually, after that, though he might not approve of our actions” he joked, smiling at will. will laughed softly, crawling up richies body to kiss him deeply so he could taste himself on wills tongue. "i’m pretty sure god doesn't approve of gay sex," he murmured against richies lips.
“god doesn’t know what hes missing” he said with a smile, kissing him back and moaning softly as he tasted himself on wills tongue. will deepened the kiss, his hands sliding up richies sides. he broke away with a small grin. “you know, i’m pretty sure this is a mortal sin," he teased, nipping at richies bottom lip. “fucking another guy's mouth is definitely not allowed." he said, holding back a laugh.
“but it feels right.” richie said, smiling and groaning, moving to take his shirt off finally, his open hawaiian button up and then the graphic tee he had underneath it. once both were off, he fixed his glasses on his face and looked at will. richie wasn’t muscular or really toned like will was, he was more lean and skinny but there was a light tone to his arms and stomach due to his constant adventures and riding his bike everywhere.
wills eyes lowered slightly as richie revealed his body, taking in the lean lines of his torso and the way his hips dipped into those cute little love handles. “you know what else feels right?" he asked, pressing an open-mouthed kiss to richies chest.
he moaned softly, looking down at will “what?” he breathed out, swallowing. will suddenly felt extremely confident, his hands roamed richies body, feeling the warmth of his skin and the softness of his stomach. "your body against mine," he whispered, kissing richies collarbone before moving down to his nipples. “your cock in my mouth." He flicked his tongue over one hard peak.
“fuck, you’re gonna make me hard again” he groaned out, biting his lip “i can’t- fuck im exhausted.” he panted out softly. will chuckled softly against richies chest, giving his nipple one last lick before looking up at him with a tender smile. “i know you're tired," he said gently, pressing kisses along richies stomach. "and I'm not trying to get you hard again.” he said, looking up at richie.
he looked at him “that is such a lie” he said with a fond smile, swallowing before pulling will up again to kiss him again before switching their positions, kneeling between wills thighs and looking up at him
will giggled softly, smiling down at richie as he spread his legs wider automatically. “well.. maybe it's a little bit of a lie," he said, blushing with a big smile
richie smiled and began unbuttoning wills jeans “lift up” he whispered softly. will obeyed almost immediately, lifting his hips up as richie took both his jeans and boxers off in one swoop. he shivered slightly at the chill air against his heated skin as he felt richies hands on his thighs, squeezing and massaging softly. the gesture was tender and intimate, romantic.
once wills jeans and boxers were off, richies hands went immediately to wills thighs, feeling the softness and slight squishness there, squeezing and gently massaging them for a moment before he moved to kiss the insides of wills thighs, peppering the skin with gentle kisses and occasionally sucking lightly on the pale skin, leaving tiny red marks.
will moaned quietly, watching richie with a tender expression. he felt loved and desired for the first time in his life, like he was actually something to be loved and appreciated rather than just protected. he was protected by his family and his friend group but he never truly felt wanted, til now.
“richie, you dont have to do all that, just-“
“shh, i want to.” richie whispered softly against wills warm skin as he moved up further, avoiding wills cock as he pressed kisses to his hips and stomach. he wanted whatever he did to will to be more about just sex and attraction, he genuinely liked will, he loved him even and he wanted will to feel that love, he wanted to make will understand how much he was wanted and loved by him at least. even if he couldn’t put it into words, he could say it through his actions.
will slowly nodded, allowing himself to melt and just feel. soft, quiet moans fell from his lips richie kissed his body and gasped softly as richie kissed his tip. richie moved to wills cock, kissing the tip softly before pulling back and spreading the pre cum on wills tip around with his thumb, using it to jerk will off. he stroked slowly while leaning up and kissing will softly, gently pushing his tongue into his mouth.
will moaned softly and opened his mouth for richie, his hands moving to cradle richies face as his hips thrusted forward slightly into richies palm, letting out a soft needy whine “richie.. oh-“ he gasped slightly as richie twisted his wrist upward and used his other hand to massage wills balls. will had jerked off before, obviously, but it never felt like this. this was intimate and intense, will was overwhelmed but in a good way, all his senses were flooded with the intense pleasure and tenderness richie was providing with just his two hands.
richie moved his hand away from wills cock which caused will to immediately whimper, a quiet, needy whimper like a puppy that got yelled at. richie replaced his hand with his mouth, licking his tip and kissing the underside of his cock before putting it in his mouth, relaxing his jaw and finding a steady way to breathe before beginning to bob his head slowly, still massaging wills balls as he felt wills hand gently card through his curls, not pulling or pushing, just resting. will was so gentle and sweet, it was no surprise that it didn’t take richie long to fall for him.
will gasped softly and whined quietly, biting his lip to hold back moans, his fingers carding through richies hair before resting. his breathing was heavy and labored as he tried desperately to keep himself quiet to not alert anyone to mikes bedroom if richie hadnt already with how loud he was.
richie sped up his motions, hallowing out his cheeks and sucking harder. he wanted to hear will, hear him unravel and be loud, it was obvious the boy was used to making himself smaller and quieter. richie wanted him to allow himself to be louder for once, even if it was just a fleeting moment. will whined and gasped as richie sped up and sucked hard, feeling like he had been hit in the head, blinking rapidly and his breath catching “oh god, fuck richie..” he muttered, letting out a whine as he tried to stay quiet but it was getting harder to.
richie doubled his efforts, relaxing his throat and deep throating will, gagging as he did so but continued regardless, wanting to make will feel good. will let out a loud moan, covering his mouth in suprise at how loud he was, how loud he could be. richie smiled softly around wills cock as he continued, having a feeling will wasnt gonna last much longer.
proving richies beliefs, will did not last much longer. he moaned into his palm while his other hand gently pulled at richies curls, bucking his hips forward was he came, gasping and squeezing his eyes shut, feeling like a million rockets just went off inside his body and stars were exploding behind his eyelids. his entire body shook and his thighs trembled. when he opened his eyes again, richie was sitting up and wiping his mouth with a big smile, his glasses were gone, will didnt even remember him taking them off. he looked more like mike without them but there was something about him that was uniquely richie, he didnt know if it was his wild, untamed curls, the grin that seemed to be permanently plastered to his stupid perfect face or just this specific swagger that mike didnt have to him, whatever it was, will wanted to be around it more, all the time if he could, he wanted to bury it inside him and cling to it, never letting it go even if it wasnt his, he’d go to prison for shoplifting if it meant he could have it with him even for a moment.
richie pulled back after swallowing wills cum, enjoying the sweet and salty stickiness in his mouth, it was like if you mixed maple syrup with salt. he wiped his mouth, grinning widely at will and moving up to kiss him softly, pushing his tongue in as will immediately opened his mouth for richie. will tasted himself on richies tongue, causing a soft moan to slip from his lips. he pulled back and looked at richie, breathing heavily “you look cute without your glasses.” he panted out with a soft smile. richie blushed and smiled “thanks, you look cute in general but especially like this.” he jokingly ran a finger down wills torso, grinning
will laughed softly and kissed him again before richie pulled back and put his stupidly big glasses back on as a knock came to mikes bedroom door, causing them both to jump as mikes voice filtered through, his tone angry.
“what the hell are you two doing in my room? the movie ended like 20 minutes ago, i swear to god richie, if you’re snooping in my shit, i will kick your ass!” mike yelled through the door, banging on it with his palm.
richie held back his laugh and looked at will “guess playtime is over, dont worry we can always fuck in the basement but we’ll have to reallyyyy quiet.” he whispered as he got up and stole a pair of mikes underwear since his were soiled. he stuffed the soiled pair under mikes bed and put the clean ones on before putting his jeans on. will was still sat there in a slight daze before snapping back to reality and quickly getting dressed too “uh, i liked that.” he said quietly, looking at richie as he put his jeans on.
richie looked at him as he slipped his shirt on “i did too, i wouldn’t mind doing it again, without the part where my douche bag cousin interrupts us, of course” he said with a small smile which made will laugh softly and nodded as he slipped his own shirt on “yeah, maybe next time, we’ll do it in bedroom that belongs to one of us instead as well.” he bantered back softly which richie grinned widely at “you are a dirty boy, byers.” he teased as he put his hawaiian shirt back on over his t-shirt “i like it” he whispered with a smile and kissed him softly “and yes, that would be good, great even.”
will blushed and smiled shyly “we can uh, maybe go to my house when everyone else is busy or something, my mom works late and so does my brother so we’d have privacy.” he said, looking hopeful that richie would say yes.
richie smiled and nodded “alright, sounds like a date” he said before correcting himself “if you want want it to be, we totally dont have to call it a date, we’ll just call it a hangout if you want-“
will laughed softly and nodded, smiling “im fine with date, its a date.” he said, nodding and smiling shyly at richie. richie immediately relaxed and sighed heavily in relief “alright, its a date” he said as mike yelled through the door again.
“damnit richie, get out of my room! just because we’re cousins doesn’t mean you’re entitled to look through my shit! especially not with my best friend! that is private stuff in there!” he yelled, banging on the door again as richie unlocked it and opened it, looking at him “jesus frogface, could you be any more insufferable? me and will were just talking, no one touched your precious things, you’re like gollum from lord of the rings.”
mike scoffed and looked at richie with an annoyed expression “i am not gollum!” he yelled as richie snorted “jesus christ, you’re such a nerd that you actually got that reference.” he said, leaving the room and going downstairs. will followed richie, giving mike a small smile as he passed by him, ignoring the angry and jealous expression on his face, he didnt know why he was jealous or why he would be, will was still his best friend but for the time being, he was focusing on richie. he really liked richie and wanted to spend time with him, he spend the other eleven months of the year with mike and half the time, mike was ignoring him or ditching him to hang with el so why wasnt will allowed to ditch mike a few times to hangout with a guy who was actually interested in will and the things he had to say. will was allowed to be selfish, he was allowed to be bigger, louder which richie had showed him in a way tonight. if he hadnt already fell for richie, he was definitely falling for him now.
