Suck It Up (Mike Hanlon x Reader Fanfiction)

Chapter 23 (Benverly)

(Y/n's pov)

"I'm too gay for this," Eddie whispered to me as a woman and man made out on the huge screen in front of us. I put the popcorn to my mouth and glance at him.

"Gay for Richie?" I ask, a smirk growing on my face as he blushes. "Shut the fuck up, (Y/n)," he says and leans back in his seat with an annoyed face. I laugh lightly before looking back at the huge screen.

It was the weekend and the Losers Club is at the movies. Mike and Eddie sit beside me and then the other three boys beside them.

I put the popcorn in my mouth and eat it quietly, staring at the screen. I feel a soft hand on my knee and I look to Mike. He smiles softly at me and leans into my ear.

"Do you want to come hang out with me downtown tommorow? Just you and me?" Mike whispers. I smile and nod softly. "I'd love to," I reply.

Mike grins wide before turning back to the movie and so do I, his hand still on my knee. I start to get excited about tommorow and daydream about all the things that could happen.

I've never felt this way about anyone before. Even when I first started to date Henry. Mike just makes me feel alive and I feel my best around him and my friends. He's honestly one of the best things that has ever happened to me. The same thing with the Losers.

Out of everything that I want to happen tommorow, I want him to ask me to be his girlfriend the most. If about I'm about to leave and he didn't ask me yet, I'm going to do it myself.

And just like that, the movie was over. I stretch before getting up. Richie yells about the movie to Eddie as we walk out of the theater.

"I like your jacket," a random girl says to me and winks at me. I raise an eyebrow at her as she walks away.

Stanley laughs at my expression. "That girl wants to fuck me," I say, making Stan laugh harder. Richie swung his arm over my shoulder from behind me as we walked.

"How d-do you know?" Bill asks. "Did you see the way she winked at me?" I ask, grinning.

"Not everyone wants to fuck you, (Y/n)," Stan says. "Yeah, but that girl does," I say and shrug.

"I think Stan wants to fuck (Y/n)," Richie says as we turn the corner onto a different street. Mike scrunches up his nose in response.

"Oh my fucking God," Stanley mutters annoyed. "Even if he does, no one would want to fuck him anyway. He looks part naked mole rat and part turtle," Eddie remarks, making Stan give him an offended look.

I furrow my eyebrows at Eddie and narrow my arms. "Stan is part beautiful and part amazing," I correct, making everyone laugh.

We reach the park and go to a bench, sitting down on it. Mike and Eddie wonder over to a little set of rocks by the river as the rest of us talk at the bench.

They come running back with a small lizard. "Ew," Richie mumbles as Eddie shows us the small creature.

"We should keep it," Mike says with a smile. Bill slowly stands up and shakes his head.

"Its going to d-die," he says. "Let it go."

Eddie shakes his head stubbornly. "It needs a home," he says, making me laugh.

"It needs to s-s-stay in the wild," Bill argues and crosses his arms over his chest.

"What should we call it?" Eddie asks, ignoring Bill. He turns to Mike and then me, raising an eyebrow.

"Don't have (Y/n) pick a name. She's horrible at it," Mike says. I glare at him playfully as he winks at me.

"Don't talk shit about Clarence," I warn, making Mike grin.

"Benverly," Richie says and I turn to him. "You know, in honor of them." He shrugs.

"You say that like they're died," Eddie says and looks down at the lizard. "But I like Benverly." Bill gives them an annoyed look.

Eddie ended up keeping the lizard. Happily ever after.

I don't see the purpose in this chapter, but I'm glad it happened.
