"hey mummy! stan and i are gonna watch a movie if that's okay" i tell my mom, hugging her from behind while she makes some dinner

"okay baby, that's fine" she says turning around and kissing me on the head "and stan, you can stay over whenever you'd like" she says smiling

"thank you, mrs. tozier" stan says quietly

"oh, you can just call me maggie" her smile gets bigger (lmao every mom ever)

he smiles at her as they walk off to the living room

"what do you wanna watch?" i looked over at stan and smiled a bit

"uhh... how about cinderella?" stan asked

"sure!" i got up and grabbed the dvd and put it on the DVD player (lol im being uncultured but whatever) and started the movie, grabbing a blanket and quickly running back to stan, covering them both up

"guys! dinner is ready if you want some!" my mom yelled you us only a few minutes in to the movie

stan and i helped my mom get the dinner ready and we all sat down and ate, and we didn't really talk about much

"hey, richie, can i talk to you about something? in private?" my mom said to me when we got up from dinner

"uh, yeah, sure. stan, you can just continue the movie, i'll be back in a bit" i smiled

"so, richie" my mom said quietly to me "are you and stan... dating?"

my eyes got wide, but then i giggled at her "no, mom, we're not. i mean, stans straight" i lied "and he's not who i like, anyways" i smiled at her

"oh, okay. do you mind telling me who you like?" she said with a smirk

i frowned a bit and blushed "eh-eddie..."

she smiled at me "okay, rich, you can go finish the movie" she smiled and kissed my head

i smiled back at her and went back to sit with stan

(later cuz idk what to write)

stan and i were laying in my bed together under the blanket "don't you think it's kind of weird that we're sharing a bed?" stan asked nervously

"stan, we used to always share a bed before, what's wrong now?" "well, we're both gay, and i have a boyfriend..." stan whispered

"well im fine with it, but if you feel uncomfortable, i can sleep in the floor if yo-" "no! its okay, i just, i don't know, i guess it's kind of weird, but it's okay" he smiled and blushed (from being embarrassed sorry kids there's no stozier)

we went to bed not facing each other and slept peacefully (don't know how to end sentences: check)

(the next morning)

when i woke up, i sat up and stretched my arms out, yawning quietly

"hey, hey rich, you up?" i asked richie, tapping his shoulder

"hmm? oh, good morning, stan" richie said, waking up with a yawn

"i was wondering, when do you think you'll tell eddie? i know you're nervous, but the sooner you tell him, the sooner it'll be done!" i smiled at him

"i-i don't know" he blushed "maybe i could try to tell him today?" he smiled a bit

"yeah, rich! that would be awesome! how about we get dressed and you can call eddie to see if we can hang out" i smiled widely at him (the time is 10:00 AM so yeah uh ok)

"okay, do you need to borrow clothes, or are you gonna wear what you wore yesterday?" he asked me

"i'll just put on what i had yesterday" i said grabbing my clothes and going to the bathroom to get dressed

once stan left, i search my closet for something to wear

i pull out a pastel pink (what why am i picking so many pastel things in this story lmao) shirt and my white Hawaiian shirt with black palm trees

i quickly put that one and after that i put on white jeans, white pastel pink socks, and white tennis shoes (lmao feminine much)

stan comes back to my room and just stared at my outfit

"wow, are you trying to make it obvious that you're gay?" stan said jokingly, laughing after

"shut up, dude!" i yelled at him, pushing him in the shoulder "im gonna call eds to see if we can hang out at the quarry, should i tell him you're coming too or no?"

"no, just tell him it's you, but i will be waiting at the cafe we went to the other night so we can have breakfast" he smiled at me

"okay, stay here and i'll go call him"

(a couple minutes later)

"okay, eddie said to meet him at the quarry in 15 minutes, we should leave now" i say coming back to my room

he nods and we head outside, getting on our bikes and riding off to the quarry

we stop in front of the cafe and stan looked at me "don't be so scared, i know he'll accept you" he smiled and parked his bike, walking inside the cafe

a couple minutes later, i arrive at the quarry, seeing eddie is already there

"hey, eds" i yelled to him with a smile

eddie turned around to look at me, he then smiled and rolled his eyes "dont call me that" he giggled

"so, what do you wanna do?" he asked me

"uhm, maybe we could hang out for a while and just talk? there is something ive been wanting to tell you" i said, coming to sit next to him

he looked up at me with a confused face "what is it?"

"well... what i wanted to tell you was.. that um..."

"dude, just spit it out, whatever it is, you can tell me!" he smiled at me, putting an hand on my shoulder

i looked down at my shaky hands (for like the third time in this story, rich stop shaking) and looked back up at him

"wh-what i wanted to say was... im-" before i could finish my sentence, a million thoughts fled my mind

i quickly pushed eddies hand off my shoulder and got up "i-im sorry eds, i have to go, i f-forgot my mom actually wanted help with something today" i turned around and quickly ran to my bike

"wait rich!" eddie called out "what's wrong?"

"im sorry eddie, i can't tell you, i'll see you another time" i hugged him and got on my bike, going to see stan at the cafe

i finally arrived, so i put my bike in the bike rack and rushed in to find stan

with tears running down my face, i see stan and go to sit next to him

i wrapped my arms around him and cried into his shoulder

"hey, hey rich, what's wrong? what happened?" stan said, hugging me back

i sat up and looked at him "im suh-sorry, stan, I couldn't tell him, i was too scared" i whispered, letting more tears spill out of my eyes

"rich, it's okay, im not gonna push you about it anymore, okay? let's go back to your house, we can just eat there, okay, bud?" he smiled at me and rubbed my arms

"yuh-yeah, okay" i smiled a bit and got out of the booth, stan following after
