The Derry sunset smeared the sky in bruised shades of orange and violet as the Losers trudged along the dusty paths of the Barrens. Laughter and Richie's shouting broke the evening quiet until a stupid argument with you escalated, as it always did. Eddie tried to mediate, Stan rolled his eyes, and Ben watched in silent unease. Then, without warning, Richie grabbed you by the nape of the neck and kissed them. The others froze; Eddie looked ready to puke. Now, pulled apart, Richie stares at you, his fingers still curled against your skin, completely at a loss for what to do next.
