Request Summary: Bill doesn’t listen, but his friend Stan sure does.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Letting out a tired sigh, you softly shut the front door behind you, bending down to slip off your shoes. Standing back up, you were met with Bill and his friends all shoved onto the couch, staring intently at the TV.
Smiling lightly, you walked behind the couch, ruffling Bill’s hair.
All the kids jumped when you said that, causing you to laugh.
“What are you guys watching?” you asked as you placed your elbows on the couch and softly began to run your fingers through your brothers hair.
“Pet Sematary,” Richie responded.
“Are you guys even allowed to be watching that?”
No one responded, causing you to shrug and stand up, stretching your back.
“Alright then. I’m going to hop in the shower okay Bill?”
Your brother nodded, not taking his eyes off the screen. Rolling your eyes, you moved away from the couch and up the stairs.
Entering the bathroom, you quickly turned on the water and waited until it was hot enough before stepping in.
You let out a content hum as the hot water slid down your body, feeling the tension slowly begin to disappear.
Reaching for the shampoo, you poured some into your palm before beginning to wash your hair.
Turning off the water, you rung out your hair before reaching for your towel. When your hand touched nothing but the wall, you furrowed your eyebrows.
Did I leave my towel on the counter?
Peaking out from behind the shower curtain, you scanned the bathroom for your towel, except it was nowhere to be found.
Realizing you had no other choice, you began to yell out.
Waiting a couple of seconds, but hearing no response, you yelled out again.
Becoming bored with the movie, Stan stood up from the couch.
“Where are you going?” Eddie asked.
“Kitchen. I need some water,” was Stan’s response.
“Whatever. I bet he’s just scared of the movie so he’s going to hide until it finishes,” Richie taunted.
He walked away from the living room and into the kitchen, immediately opening up the cabinet to grab a cup.
Turning on the sink, Stan placed his cup under the running water and waited patiently for the cup to fill up.
As he was waiting, he heard something that sounded like a yell. Assuming it was the movie, Stan ignored it and continued to fill up his glass.
Pausing, Stan turned off the water and slowly realized it was your voice that he heard yelling. Eyes shooting towards the living room, he debated getting Bill.
What if she’s in trouble? By the time you get Bill, she might be hurt!
Placing his cup on the counter, Stan began to walk up the stairs.
You were very cold and very annoyed.
“Stupid movie, they shouldn’t even be watching it in the first place,” you grumbled.
Crossing your arms over your chest, you attempted to preserve any heat left, which proved to be useless.
Suddenly, you heard a knock on the door.
“Bill?” You called hopefully.
“Er-no, it’s uh, it’s Stan.”
“Listen Stan, can you do me a huge favor? I forgot my towel in my room, can you please grab it for me?”
You shut your eyes tightly, hoping he wouldn’t say no. It was silent for a few moments before he spoke.
Letting out a sigh of relief, you smiled.
You heard his footsteps walk away and a couple minutes later, another knock.
“I have your towel!” He called.
“Ok, cool! Do,” you paused. “Do you think you could hand it to me?”
A couple of seconds passed.
“Can you please hand me the towel? The door is unlocked and I’ll wait behind the curtain.” You struggled to explain.
Stan gave no response, but you heard the door knob rattle and the door slowly open. Peeking your head out, you watched as a very red-faced Stan walked into the bathroom.
“Uh, here you go,” he said as he shoved the towel in your direction. He refused to meet your eyes.
Grabbing the towel, you quickly wrapped it around yourself before pulling open the shower curtain.
It was silent for a few moments.
“Well, thank you for th-,”
“You’re really pretty!” Stan blurted out.
You blinked, a bit startled.
Stan’s face turned beet red.
“I-I mean, I don’t, I’m not” he stuttered, trying to make the situation better.
“Thanks. No one has ever seen me in a bath towel and told me I look pretty before,” you joked, hoping it would calm Stan down.
“I think I’m going to leave now,” he stated, stiffly turning around and beginning to walk out the door.
“Stan,” you called just as he was about to close the door.
“Yes?” His voice was shaky.
“Thank you for the towel. And if it’s any consolation, I think you’re really pretty, too.”
He grinned widely, shutting the door.
