You stretched out on the hammock that hung from the posts of the clubhouse. The other losers were strewn about the rest of the space, doing various things to keep themselves occupied. Richie had taken the liberty of staring you down since you were lying on what he considered the second coming of Jesus.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer, dickwad." You said, stretching out to get more comfortable. Annoying him was just a bonus.

"Eddie, didn't you say it was a 10-minute limit?" Richie asked.

"Uh yeah well considering you didn't respect that rule when it was my turn I think (Y/n) has every right to overstay her welcome on that hammock."

"Aw stop it, Eddie, you're making me blush." You teased. Eddie rolled his eyes.

"Don't make me take it back (Y/n)."

"Love you too Eds." You replied as you went back to reading your comic book.

"Fuck this bullshit," Richie exclaimed as he walked toward your reclined body. You lowered your book just in time to see Richie sidle up next to you. You groaned.

"Oh come on man, have some self-respect." You grumbled as he made the fabric sway. He smirked and got comfortable the best he could.

"Ah, that's refreshing. I mean honestly, my back was killing me. You know, now that I think about it, I could really use a massage. (Y/n), would you be so kind?" He asked, his voice patronizing. You rolled your eyes and set your book down.

"Why of course Mr. Tozier, you should've said something sooner. Come real close and I'll get all that tension out for you."

"Now that's what I'm talking about. Finally getting the royal treatment I deserve." He replied jokingly, knowing there was no way you'd go for it. You adjusted yourself and to his surprise, actually began to massage his back. His face slowly turned red as he felt your hands climb up his skin, gently pressing your fingers and palms down interchangeably.

"You're actually...?"

"Anything for you Richie." You teased. Your heart thumped loudly in your ears. His skin was so soft you were scared your fingertips might just pass through him. You tried to play it cool like this was just your normal, run-of-the-mill, Richie pulling punches and (Y/n) being the only girl dumb enough to punch back, but you knew that was a lie. You knew your hands were trembling as you caressed the back of the boy you'd had a crush on for God knows how many years and you knew he'd start to feel it soon as well.

"Are you flirting with me?" He asked, his voice almost faltering in his throat. He was joking. He had to be joking.

"So what if I am?" You asked, leaning your chin on his shoulder and resting your hands on his hips. Richie practically burst at the seams from this, but what happened next threw him out of the trance faster than he'd fallen into it. You roughly shoved him off the hammock, smirking in triumph at the sound of surprise that jumped out of him. He fell to the floor, and the wind immediately knocked out of his chest. All he could do was lie there for a solid minute, processing what had happened.

"You skank!" He shouted, sitting up and turning toward you. You smirked and reclined again, picking up the comic book you'd set down.

"You love me." You replied. He gave a slight chuckle before shaking his head and leaning against the wooden post that held up one side of the hammock. He did. He really did.

You yawned as you approached the arcade snack counter. You'd been going at Street Fighter for far too long and decided it was time for a pick-me-up. An ultra delicious total brain-freezing wild cherry slushie. Or just a cherry slush, as those less passionate than you would call it.

You sauntered over to the counter and the employee who stood behind it and smiled. He placed a cup under the cherry spout, already knowing what you'd gone there for. To say you were a regular was an understatement. You placed $1.50 on the counter, and the employee finished in record time, sliding the drink to you and putting the cash in the register. You walked away, knowing that he knew that you didn't need the change.

As you walked away, you ducked behind a hanging tarp. The part of the arcade that was always under construction for whatever reason. You liked laying low here to enjoy your slushes in peace and quiet. Plus there was a working Computer Space cabinet so that was the sickest part.

"How did I know you'd be here?" A familiar voice asked after the rusting of the tarp stopped. You snickered and looked over your shoulder, seeing your best friend.

"Richard Tozier. How often have I told you not to bother me in my super-secret lair?" You replied. It was now his turn to snicker.

"Lair? Seriously? This dingy old place has got to be one of the lamest 'lairs' I've ever seen." He said. You exhaled and leaned against the cabinet.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. But it's gotta be worth something with this original Computer Space cabinet which has an unbeatable high score held by... Well... me." You replied, a smirk creeping its way onto your lips. There was nothing in the world that pissed Richie off more than the fact that he just couldn't seem to top you in that damn game.

"Again with this. I swear it's like the only thing you have over my head. Computer Space this Computer Space that meh meh meh meh meh." He mocked you.

"Aw, someone's getting all worked up. Come on, yell at me some more, I like it." You taunted as you took a sip from your slushie.

"You like everything I do (Y/n)." He said as he leaned on the cabinet beside you.

"Why yes. Every night I go to sleep dreaming of my knight in shining armor Richard Tozier who will sweep me off my feet one day." You jeered sarcastically.

"I bet you do. I bet you dream of kissing me like there's no tomorrow."

"Oh not just kissing Richie. No no no. In my dreams, we do so much more than just kissing."

"God just stop being so cute!" He exclaimed, his tone much more genuine than he'd intended. You choked on your slushie slightly, your face growing warm from the blood that rushed to it.

"Wh-What?" You stared at him. His face dropped as he registered what he'd said.

"Oh, I just- um... I-I'm kidding. Like always."

"Then why are you so red?"

"It's warm?"

"You're so full of shit Tozier." You replied before grabbing him by the collar of his shirt and pulling him into a kiss. He made a noise of surprise but within seconds he was practically melting into your touch. He wrapped his arms around your waist and deepened the kiss as much as he could. You still tasted like the cherry slushie, and he couldn't get enough.
