“And you never knew
How much I really liked you
Because I never even told you
Oh, but I meant to
Are you still there?”

Request: Hi, Could a have a request where the reader goes out of the cinema and gets a ride by Bowers Gang because she's too afraid to go home alone at night, and when they arrived the boys want her to show them her breasts in return? At first she's reluctant but then she accepts
A/n: This cool request has brought me back from the dead. I have so many WIPs (I’m 70 percent done with a QTM chapter 4), but I knew this would be a quickie. I know that the Trans Am doesn’t have backseat doors, I took a liberty here. Enjoy!! Thank you for the req @baybemarx, I hope u like it!!
You never go to the cinema alone. It’s less fun, certainly, to go without friends.
Of course, you weren’t going to miss the premiere of the Little Mermaid, and it seemed all your friends were busy on opening night. If you weren’t such a Disney fanatic, maybe you would’ve waited. After the movie ended, you felt it was worth the wait.
It seemed like a great idea until the movie ended. You walked out of the theatre into the cold November air, suddenly conscious that walking during the daytime was a lot safer than it was to walk all the way home at night. You didn’t live very close to the theatre.
Taking a deep breath in, zipping up your coat, you started walking in the direction towards your house.
Right as you walked into the street, a car suddenly braked right before hitting you. With a shrill scream you jumped, staring into headlights.
The loud music coming from the car suddenly shut off. You couldn’t tell anything about the car’s owner until people started jumping out of it - two, specifically, the driver, and whoever was in the passenger seat - you identified them quickly as Belch Huggins and Vic Criss.
“Fuck!” You yelled, breathless from shock. “What the fuck!”
Belch loudly scoffed. “Hey, you stepped into oncoming traffic.”
“I know you.” Vic interjected, almost accusingly. “You’re in our science class.”
Only because the surrounding street was empty for the moment, you entertained him.
“Wow, you remember me. I’m so lucky.”
You continued walking, but before you could get too far, Vic called out to you.
“Do you want a ride?”
You turned around with narrowed eyes.
“What does that mean?”
Vic simply stared, and then shrugged.
“It means a ride home. It’s late at night, people are going missing.”
You couldn’t trust any member of the Bowers gang. Of course, it was cold, and home wasn’t too far by car. You couldn’t tell if anyone was in the backseat.
Slowly taking a deep breath in, you let it out in a sigh.
“Okay. Thanks.” You grumbled, walking towards the car.
Suddenly, the back passenger window opened to reveal - of course. You should’ve known.
Henry Bowers and Patrick Hockstetter were in the back, and quickly Patrick opened the door and hopped out to make room for you in the bitch seat.
“Aw, come on!” You groaned, and Henry laughed immediately.
“Long time, no see, princess. Where’ve you been?”
It wasn’t exactly a history between you and Henry, but you were one of the many girls he flirted with on a regular basis. You hadn’t seen him for a while - miraculously.
“Around.” You slid into the backseat and Patrick followed, wedging you tightly into the middle seat. The door slammed shut and the Trans Am peeled off into the night, towards the direction of your house.
“So. What movie did you see? Alone?” Henry asked, and it made you realize how close he really was to you.
You inhaled slowly, rolling your eyes. “The Little Mermaid, okay? None of my friends could go with me.”
Belch was speeding, and as dangerous as it might have been, it brought you home faster.
“Aw, I would’ve gone with you.” Henry purred, suddenly putting a hand on your leg, gripping your thigh. It made you jump.
“Oh, really?” You squeaked, trying to move away, subsequently closer to Patrick, who put his arm tightly around you.
So this was what the notorious Bowers Gang ride home was all about. You’d heard about it between girls, being felt up, making out… And more. It was a trap all along.
“I would’ve gone. I love princesses.” Patrick’s breath was on your neck, sending chills of closeness and fright up your spine.
“Belch, can you go faster, maybe?” You bluntly asked, as Henry’s hand skirted further and further up your skirt, Patrick’s hand sneaking below your shirt.
“Hey!” You hissed, pulling their hands off. They laughed as you struggled under their grasps, almost turning into a wrestling match as you fought them off. Belch continued speeding.
“Speaking of princesses, we have ourselves a prude.” Henry teased, and you slapped him away.
“I’m not a prude, you guys are just… Gross.”
Vic turned around in his seat.
“What’s the fee this time?”
He had a gross smile on his face.
“What?” You asked, before Patrick and Henry suddenly stopped touching you.
“Oh boy, I dunno.” Patrick began with a grin. “What do you wanna do, princess?”
Your eyes widened instantly.
“What?” What do you mean?”
“You pick what you do. No rides are free, sweetheart. You need a ticket to ride.” Belch spoke from the driver’s seat, smiling in the rearview mirror at you.
You immediately grimaced. “Are you kidding me? What the fuck!”
Henry was staring at you with bedroom eyes. More chills running under your skin.
Patrick squeezed his arm around you again, this time around your waist. “Hey, hey, hey, we’ll go with an easy one. Let’s see your tits.”
Immediately you gasped.
“No way!”
Henry sat up with a smile. “Come on, babe, give us a show.”
The car suddenly came to a stop.
“It’s your stop.” Vic teased, turning around to look. Belch followed his lead, all of the boys staring at you.
“I’m not doing that. Let me out.”
“It’s only fair.” Patrick implored with a devilish grin.
You looked at each of them before taking a deep breath in. It was a good thing they stopped right in front of your house - Maybe Belch was giving you a way out.
“I am going to scream as loud as I possibly can.”
After a moment, Henry groaned and begrudgingly obliged, opened the car door and stepping out. You didn’t hesitate.
“Only ‘cuz people would hear you.” Henry told you with a stare, climbing back in the car.
Slowly you turned around and started walking back towards your house, before you felt an insatiable urge to fuck with them.
You heard the music turn back on, loud AC/DC, and you quickly turned around.
“Hey!”
Vic unrolled his window, Henry sticking his head out of his own.
“What now, you need another ride-”
You lifted your shirt up to your bra, and lifted your bra up above your face.
Immediately you pulled them down, laughing to yourself amongst the sounds of their chorus of yelling. Belch honked his horn multiple times, and Henry had his hands to the sides of his mouth, crying out a long, loud, “Yeah!”
You sprinted inside, unable to contain your smile. As they drove away, still cheering, your woken-up mom walked into the living room, peeking out of the front blinds.
if eddie had survived richie would've taken him to the kissing bridge to tell him that he'd been in love with him for 27 years and shown him the R+E and eddie would've kissed him and recarved the letters so richie knew he loved him back
