The Name is Tozier

NYLA

The wedding date got closer and the two were getting excited. Bev had set up a date for all the boys to come to her work so that nothing gets interfered with their plans. The losers we're reuniting in Nebraska in a very relaxing summer. With Patty. Bev wanted to make her dress and needed her measurements. So what a perfect time to have her come then when they all reunite.

"Why did you buy my ticket when I could've?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to go together?"

"Mm. If I fall asleep on the plane you can't get mad Big Bill" Richie says calmly waiting for shorty to check in his bag.

The two then went through the security check and eventually just sat in front of their gate until they board. Richie felt the old lingering pain in his chest resurface for the millionth time that day. Bill kept glancing at Rich when he hasn't moved from looking out the window for some time. Something was wrong. Bill had a guess.

"Nervous about seeing the others?"

"Hm?" Richie snapped out of it. "Uh. Nope. What about you? Stan and Patty are gonna be there. It was-"

"Okay if you're gonna be forward. E-Eddie is gonna be there obviously. I don't know if his divorce is finalized yet. But he's gonna be there in whatever mood he is in"

"I hate you sometimes. But yeah. I'm kinda nervous on seeing Eddie"

"And I'm nervous about Stan and Patty"

"At least we're both uncomfortable. Maybe when we drink they won't think it's out of emotion" Richie tried to joke. But the pain is still too soon.

"Hm. Remind me not to let you drink on the plane"

"Okay" Richie scoffs checking his texts finding a few from Mike and Stan. The two already made it to the Benverly house.

Mike: They have a dog!

Stan: Thats really all he wanted to say.

Mike: Not true. When are you two flying in? I can come and get you

Stan: Well. I'm tagging along. Bev took Patty for the day because...quote on quote..She's the only other girl in the losers club

Richie: Eddie can be a pussy sometimes

Mike: Why did I see that coming

Stan: Are you guys still waiting?

Richie: Yeah. About another hour or so and we'll be in the air

Mike: Well. Regardless. We'll pick you up

Richie: I don't want to be a dick. But do you mind if we just UBER over there? It'll be pretty late when we get in and I don't think the pleasantries of our friends picking us up would cover the fact that we may or may not snap at y'all

Mike: Why would you snap at us?

Richie: 4 hours on a plane with the looks of it will have three little children

Stan: Yeah. I don't want to get snapped at by Bill

Mike: Well I can second that. So I guess we'll see you when you get here

Stan: Oh. That reminds me. Eddie is coming in tomorrow and he needs a ride

Richie: Okay? You can get him.

Mike: Rich are you that stupid

Richie: Stuff that happened was too fresh. I believe you can understand that.

Stan: You want to talk about it?

Richie: No. I gotta go.

Mike frowns turning to Stan as he crosses his arms.
