/yes yes, okay~

It had been a couple of years since Eddie and Richie had moved in with their new Dads, and things had... changed quite a bit. Don't get me wrong, Richie was still an excitable little shit, but he spent less time hanging around outside of the house or in bad areas. He was also a bit more lovey with Eddie, but still loved teasing the other senseless. Plus, he looked different too. He had gotten his ears pierced, and his hair was much longer - although the longest he ever let it reach was near the bottom of his neck - and he had even gotten a tattoo. It hadn't technically been legal yet, but he had known a guy, and despite the way Scott had screamed when he had seen it, Richie still loved it. The tattoo was on his arm, and it was the same scratchy writing from Eddie's cast from two years ago, saying 'LO(V)SER'. He was also getting pretty good at cooking thanks to the teaching of his Father. At the moment, he was sitting against the lockers of their high school - they were in their final year before it was time to possibly go off to college - with Bill talking to him. He wasn't sure where Eddie was, but the other never strayed too far from him most of the time.
