listen,,, bev and richie friendship headcanons,, ,, are a must
YOU’RE RIGHT THEY ARE A MUST. THEIR FRIENDSHIP IS MY FAV.
also @beepsrichie came up with some of these with me so check out their awesome blog!!
- At first when Beverly joined the Losers, she was already friends with Richie but she could only take so much of him in a day. She got exhausted quickly by his loudness and she often thought he was acting this way just to get a rise out of her, which annoyed her. She felt like she couldn’t open up or get close to him.
- They really started to bond after sharing cigarettes became a daily thing. Before, when they were just casual friends, Richie could get a cigarette from her every couple of weeks. Now, she always came prepared, making sure she had at least two left when she arrived at the Barrens. Otherwise, she wouldn’t smoke herself.
- She also quickly learned they had a similar taste in music. This made them hang out more, sometimes just the two of them, sitting in the sun with a cig in one hand and a can of soda in the other (another thing she always came prepared with).
- They become best friends as soon as Richie starts sharing personal stuff with her. Its pretty sudden, just a typical day sitting by the quarry, but he opens up just a bit about his parents and his struggles with ADHD.
- After this she feels close with him. She knows that he doesn’t really have anyone to share this stuff with. He’d tell it to Eddie, but this is before the two start dating so he’s worried that Eddie will think differently of him.
- Bev can really relate to Richie’s shitty parent situation, since both of their folks are neglectful and don’t take good care of them. She quickly opens up to him about that stuff too, finding that he knew how to shut his mouth when they were talking about something serious.
- Bev is also the first person Richie came out to. It was another random time, but he was really nervous and nearly cried. It was even scarier for him than opening up about his parents. He thought that’d be the kicker of her having enough of him and their cig-soda sessions.
- Through all of it though, Bev was understanding and was a shoulder for Richie to lean on. They were each others support system when the people they were dating were not available for that position for whatever reason.
- Letting at least one person know about him liking boys and his crush on Eddie was such a big weight off of Richie’s shoulders, he almost completely changed after that day. After he knew she was totally supportive of him, Bev and Richie would talk about their crushes (and later boyfriends) to each other all the time.
- Bev is Richie’s wing woman any time he talks to Eddie. She gives him advice sometimes on how to act, especially because he goes even more overboard with the voices when he’s nervous.
- Every time Richie and Eddie flirt or anything good happens, Richie calls Bev right away. After the two boys’ first kiss, Richie and Bev scream on the phone to each other for half an hour. She’s so happy for the two of them.
- Before Richie and Eddie started dating, they’d be too nervous to hang out just to two of them so Bev would come along sometimes. This only happens a couple times though, because she’s always the third wheel. She tells Richie that he doesn’t realize how comfortable they are with each other; they don’t need her there. She’s happy to help anyways though.
- Richie tries to give the best advice he can when it comes to Bev dealing between choosing Bill or Ben. He tries to be rational with her, but there are too many feelings involved and she’s too scared to hurt either because she truly loves them both.
- Ultimately Richie says they should leave it up to a coin toss. Fate will choose for her.
- No matter who Bev is with, Bill or Ben, Richie is totally supportive and makes jokes about being the best man at the wedding. Bev appreciates him being there to listen, even if he’s not the best with advice.
- Richie and Bev are involved in theater all through High School, with Richie being in cast (always as the extravagant comedic characters) and Bev is the head of costume and makeup crew. Richie always drives Bev home from rehearsal, and they stop at the diner on Wednesdays. Its a tradition just between the two of them. He always drops her off down the street from her house so her dad won’t see.
- Richie will come pick Bev up in all hours of the night if her dad is being a piece of shit. If she can’t get out of the house, he’ll stay on the phone with her if she doesn’t feel like talking to Bill or Ben.
- As Bev gets more into her fashion career, Richie will help model her stuff for her. Being super tall and lanky, he can fit into her stuff and he makes sure to strut around the room to really show off the garment. This makes her laugh so much every time.
- He gets more comfortable with his masculinity as he gets older, so he’ll sometimes let Bev paint his left hand’s nails or put clips in the front of his now longer hair.
- In fact, Bev takes Richie shopping with her a lot. His normal sense of style is pretty atrocious, so she helps him pick out clothes. Together they look like the coolest hipster friends.
- They are concert buddies always, and hold hands so they could shove to the very front at the shows they go to.
- Double dates!!! All the time!!!
- They give each other stick and poke tattoos all over. Small stuff, even one matching tattoo. Eddie freaks out because he thinks they’re going to get Hepatitis.
- (@eddiesbadbreak and @stanleyuriis have a HC where Richie gets a tiny stick and poke E on his wrist and Eddie almost cries but is too scared to get a stick and poke himself, since it’s not sanitary. However, when he turns 18 he goes to a professional place and gets a tiny R to match)
- Richie and Bev always dance together at the talent shows in school, and always get one of the loudest applause. They’re really good at dancing.
- Richie plays the guitar when he gets into High School, but can’t sing for shit. Sometimes Bev will sing with him. She’s not amazing, but she’s definitely decent and they have a lot of fun. Bill, Ben, and Eddie get serious butterflies every time.
- As adults, Richie and Eddie always look forward to holidays and birthdays because Beverly always sends them the best gifts. She always tailors them suits that have the same color scheme but aren’t exactly the same, so they match. They always fit perfectly and could be worth thousands of dollars. They always look incredible.
- Any time Bev is in Beverly Hills, she stays at the Tozier household and they stay up late and drink and laugh their asses off and sing karaoke. They always have the most incredible time.
- Besides the people they’re dating/married to, Richie and Bev are each others biggest support systems all the way into adulthood!
