@xBirdxLxverx “You’re...actually really good at this game.”

[〖𝚁𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚎 𝚃𝚘𝚣𝚒𝚎𝚛〗 @OnceIsLost]

@xBirdxLxverx When Stan passes him he takes his bottom lip between his teeth, chewing gently on it while he focused. He managed to barely finish in first.

[〖𝚁𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚎 𝚃𝚘𝚣𝚒𝚎𝚛〗 @OnceIsLost]

@xBirdxLxverx Richie has the petal down as far as he can go. He’s racing around the corners and taking the shortcuts that he can find.

[〖𝚁𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚎 𝚃𝚘𝚣𝚒𝚎𝚛〗 @OnceIsLost]

@xBirdxLxverx “I beg to differ, Stan. You’re going down.” He completes his first lap, moving onto the second. He’s in fourth place.

[〖𝚁𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚎 𝚃𝚘𝚣𝚒𝚎𝚛〗 @OnceIsLost]

@xBirdxLxverx His fingers grasp around the steering wheel. The countdown starts and immediately he’s racing down the street and around the corner.

[〖𝚁𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚎 𝚃𝚘𝚣𝚒𝚎𝚛〗 @OnceIsLost]

@xBirdxLxverx “Just wait and see.” He flashes him a wink. “Let the master show you how it’s done.”

[〖𝚁𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚎 𝚃𝚘𝚣𝚒𝚎𝚛〗 @OnceIsLost]

@xBirdxLxverx “You’re going down, bird man.” He starts to choose his car and the track for them to race on.

[〖𝚁𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚎 𝚃𝚘𝚣𝚒𝚎𝚛〗 @OnceIsLost]

@xBirdxLxverx He leads him over to the game, sitting down in one of the two chairs, placing his credit into the machine.

[〖𝚁𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚎 𝚃𝚘𝚣𝚒𝚎𝚛〗 @OnceIsLost]

@xBirdxLxverx “Yeah, sure. I’m going to kick your ass, Stan the Man.”

[〖𝚁𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚎 𝚃𝚘𝚣𝚒𝚎𝚛〗 @OnceIsLost]

@xBirdxLxverx He immediately moves to the machine. He fishes some change from his pocket. He places it inside and then grabs the gold coins the machine gives in return.

[〖𝚁𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚎 𝚃𝚘𝚣𝚒𝚎𝚛〗 @OnceIsLost]

@xBirdxLxverx He begins to bike towards the direction of the arcade. Once there he moves to park his bike in the bike racks.

[〖𝚁𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚎 𝚃𝚘𝚣𝚒𝚎𝚛〗 @OnceIsLost]

@xBirdxLxverx “Sweet! Did you bring your bike? You can ride on the back of mine if you didn’t.”

[〖𝚁𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚎 𝚃𝚘𝚣𝚒𝚎𝚛〗 @OnceIsLost]

@xBirdxLxverx “Nothing really. I was just on my way to the arcade. You want to come?”

[〖𝚁𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚎 𝚃𝚘𝚣𝚒𝚎𝚛〗 @OnceIsLost]

@xBirdxLxverx “Stan the man! Hey! What’s up?”

[〖𝚁𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚎 𝚃𝚘𝚣𝚒𝚎𝚛〗 @OnceIsLost]

—his racing heart and the butterflies that constantly flapped around his stomach anytime he was with @NoStringsQnMe.

Time was running out and he was determined to make the most of it.

Even if Eddie never knows how much Richie loves him.

[〖𝚁𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚎 𝚃𝚘𝚣𝚒𝚎𝚛〗 @OnceIsLost]

He’s pulling up to @NoStringsQnMe’s house. He parks in the street and goes around the side to knock on his best friend’s window.

It was late, nearing midnight. But he’d done this plenty of times before. He’d sneak out to Eddie, take him on some random adventure in the middle—

[〖𝚁𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚎 𝚃𝚘𝚣𝚒𝚎𝚛〗 @OnceIsLost]

— Unfortunately... it’s also a fraction of reasons why @NoStringsQnMe probably wouldn’t return his feelings. Eddie was everything that Richie wasn’t.

He was perfect.

And Richie was lucky to even be his friend.

So for years he’d kept this dark secret hidden away. He ignored—
