Mood when you take 20 minutes contemplating the best way to ask your crush to dance but they start dancing with someone else instead

[edsbev]

when bev joins the losers, she hangs around bill and ben the most. mike is always nice to talk to, cheery and amicable, everything is kind of easy with him. stan is a little weird but he’s sweet and she likes hearing him talk passionately abt his birds. richie seems like the last person she would ever want to talk to, at first. but she works out pretty quickly that everything that comes out his mouth is just air. that you only have to peel back a layer or two to find the boy who shares his cigarettes with her, cracks a joke in her direction to cheer her up because he can sense when she’s sad. 

but she doesnt talk to eddie. its not that she doesnt want to, its just that eddie is always kind of attached to richie’s side, shrieking laughing at all of richie’s bad voices. or hovering around bill like an animated little fly. one time, she had found herself the target of one of eddie’s rants. they’d been in the clubhouse and he’d started to rant about how they needed to sand the wooden support beams because they could all get splinters if they didnt. and he was so caught up in it that he didn’t realise she was only one looking at him, listening to him, until he was finished. and once he realised, he had gone red, and turned away. 

so bev thinks that eddie doesnt want to talk to her. which kind of sucks, a lot. and she doesnt even know why it sucks so much. because he’s just like...a tiny little rude boy (and she laughs at herself when she thinks that but she doesnt know how else to describe him) just this tiny stressed kid with a surprisingly foul mouth. who likes playing loogie with richie and berating them all for not wearing sunscreen. but sometimes she thinks he’s like her. in what way, though, she doesnt know. its just, sometimes, when he thinks no one’s looking, she’ll see his face change. watch as it falls. he’ll look tired. he’ll look sad. and then one day he tells them all about his mother, his chest heaving, his expression all twisted up, and it all makes sense. and suddenly she’s never wanted to know someone so badly in her life. 

do you wanna hang out tomorrow? she finally musters up the courage to ask one day. just you and me? eddie has his face tilted up to at her, he’s so little, and there’s something so surprised about his expression that he almost looks scared. “oh, yeah, sure,” he says, words all stuttery and unsure. he nods with a little more confidence, “okay.” bev smiles at him. and that night she climbs up onto richie’s roof with richie and asks him, basically, what the hell she should talk to eddie about. because she wants eddie to like her, and one thing she knows about eddie is that he very much likes richie. so sue her. richie just laughs and tells her that eddie likes dirty jokes. and so she and richie brainstorm a bunch of jokes she can tell eddie tomorrow. even though bev knows that the dirty jokes that richie tells eddie have a 50/50 chance of being met with a beep beep, or laughter. 

and the next day she meets up with eddie at the aladdin. and she greets him almost immediately with a dirty joke, to break the ice, because he had looked nervous, shuffling feet, fidgety hands. and he laughs. not quite the shrieking laughter that only ever seems to come out around richie. but its genuine laughter nonetheless. and his smile stays on his face long after it. and bev thinks she has it figured out. she just has to be a little crude, maybe rant about some sort of health and safety codes, and eddie will like her. and they can open up to each other. but then, when she asks what he wants to do, eddie suggests that they go for a walk through the dog park, just a few streets away, because he likes petting the dogs. but then eddie offers to buy her ice cream for her when she comes up a few cents short (“dont worry about it,” he’d said, licking at his own ice cream, placing his change into her hand with his sticky fingers. “i have a lot of change. i stole it from ma.”) but then eddie points out a funny looking car on the street and excitedly tells her that he’s always wanted a car like that, talks to her passionately about cars in general until he realises what he’s doing and cuts himself off, looking bashful, until she nudges him to continue. and he smiles at her brightly and he does. 

but then eddie is this sweet, gentle kid, amongst being his usual Little Stressed Rude Boy self and she realises that she just really fucking likes him. its not just that their lives are so similar, two shades of the same colour. even though that definitely leaves a sort of sense of mutual understanding between them. she just likes being around him. unfortunately, it seems like it takes eddie a little longer to warm up to her to the same extent she’s warmed up to him. he tells her later, once theyre really close, that he had actually been a little intimidated by her. (”i thought you were so cool,” he says. “you don’t think i’m cool now?” bev asks. eddie grins. “nah. i think youre a nerd.” and bev laughs, because thats fair enough, but also a little bit rich coming from the kid wearing a calculator watch).

but they do become close. bev opens up to eddie about her dad one night, when its just the two of them in clubhouse. everyone else has gone home. he’s sitting in the hammock. and he looks at her with that same expression, when she starts talking. the one where he’s so surprised he looks scared. but then his expression softens. and he looks sympathetic. he looks sad. he looks angry. and when she’s done, the first thing eddie says is “i hate your dad” with a little sad smile. “he sucks.” and it makes her laugh a little. he’s the first person shes ever told all of this to, but she thinks she already prefers that reply to every other reply she’s going to get. she says, in reply, “i hate your mom. she sucks.” and eddie’s face scrunches up for a second, like he’s going to defend her. but he ends up laughing too. and then theyre both laughing. like their lives are the world’s best joke. “our parents suck,” eddie says, his laughter still all over his face. and the way he says that - “our parents” - has bev imagining, for a moment, that they share the same parents. that theyre a pair of lost siblings who have found each other. who are going through the same thing. it feels that way. “they do,” she says. “wanna get new parents?” and eddie smiles and says “how about no parents? then we dont have to have a bedtime.” bev replies, “i like your thinking.” and eddies smile stretches even wider, like he’s glad she likes his idea, before he says, eyes lighting up as he’s hit with a thought, “hey, can you teach me that around the world yo-yo trick you were doing before?” which is the first time hes ever initiated that they do something together. like he figures they’re bonded now. and then eddie’s one of her best friends in the whole world.

(“you ever just want to love and protect eddie with your whole life?” bev asks richie later that night, while theyre smoking up on his roof again. richie lays back, his voice half muffled by his cigarette. “yeah,” he says, without missing a beat. bev feels all giddy and excited. she had spent an hour with eddie in the clubhouse, teaching him yo-yo tricks. and when he had to leave, he’d asked if she wanted to ride home with him. “i feel like we were family in another life,” bev continues to richie. and richie snorts. “what, like he was your husband or something?” he asks, and that thought almost makes bev recoil “no. like we were related,” she says. like she was his sister or his mother or his aunt or his cousin. richie blows out smoke through his lips. “oh,” he says, “guess our similarities end there.” and bev laughs. she’d figured).

Can we get some uhhhhhh,,, Bevchie friendship hcs? And some Bev and Eddie friendship hc’s?

here are these multiple days later lol sorry it took so long (this got really long so i’m putting it under the cut)

bevchie/beverie (more specifically, this is about them as roommates)

they’re much more functional roommates than any of the losers expected

like, yeah, their apartment is a little messy, but it’s never dirty

it’s mainly just messy bc it’s littered w dumb shit they bought online and used like twice

bev can’t cook for shit, and richie’s actually pretty good at it, so richie usually cooks and bev does the dishes

they do eat a lot of cheese and carbs and sugar tho, so stan comes over every other week or so to force feed them vegetables

like their pantry is genuinely astounding

how can two people own and eat so much junk food????

but then their spice cabinet is also overflowing bc richie loves experimenting with his food (bev loves taste testing them, bc either it’s delicious or it’s awful and hilarious)

richie cleans the bathroom bc the drains freak bev out

they have a double vanity in their bathroom bc they’re ~domestic~

they always give each other reviews of date outfits bc they’re twin bi disasters with v similar taste in fashion

richie wants a liquor bottle graveyard but Bev says no bc “we’re not straight, richard”

neither of them ever care about being sexiled, they both support each other getting dicked down so ardently

like one of them will come home w someone and the other will just be like “am i joining or fucking off?”

threesomes are rare and treasured occasions

they hookup w each other from time to time if they’re both horny at the same time

they don’t use plates when they order pizza, they just rip the box in half and use that as plates bc they know they’ll eat 4 slices each

they’ve got a record player bc they’re those indie kids (this is a modern au now btw so this is some indie kid shit lol)

shelves and cabinets literally overflowing with cds and dvds

posters everywhere

the apartment always smells like weed, on a sliding scale from “faint suggestion of cannabis” to “yeah we just hotboxed out entire apartment lmao”

edbev

it takes a long time for them to recognize how similar they are just bc they never really hung out just the two of them

until one day when everyone else bails on some plans they made

it’s honestly a little bit awkward at first, but then it’s so great it’s like???? how did this take so long????

they bond emotionally over their horrible parents and bullshit societal expectations and whatnot

but also over music and movies

eddie gets bev to let herself admit that she really does like bubblegum pop

they switch off between horror movies and romcoms every time they have a movie night

they’re both pretty chill people honestly, and they both thought they were mainly just chaotic around richie

and sure, they chill together, but they also have so much chaotic gay energy that being around each other just magnifies it so much sometimes, it’s honestly a lot even for them lol but they love it

they love baking together but they’re both really bad at it so they just make those precut pillsbury cookies

bev eats the dough raw and eddie yells at her about salmonella

but then once he starts growing out of the habits and fears sonia forced on him he starts eating it too

one time they just ate an entire roll of sugar cookie dough together (and they both had stomach aches afterwards but they agreed it was worth it)

they convince richie, stan, ben, and mike to let them make bills birthday cake one year

it’s super lopsided and it says “birthday bitch” in barely legible letters

mike is so disappointed in himself for trusting those two with baking

bill still cries tho he loves the cake (and bev and eddie) so much

one day bev is so angry she doesn’t know how to handle it, so Eddie takes her on a run

and she’s huffing and puffing and everything hurts, but she feels... better

so they start running together

none of the other losers believe it until they see it

they have an ongoing runaway plan/fantasy (the other five are included in said plan, but they don’t know about it)

they’re each other’s safe havens when they’re upset and need to vent or cry

they’re both so soft and kind but also they’re both so strong and also very sarcastic and they find confidence in one another

i love them both so much

bonus edbevchie

so many dance parties, so much 80′s pop

the three of them are like a permanent cuddle puddle

they go on so many day trips together and find really cool places/really cute towns

they especially love to go shopping together (even tho eddie sometimes balks at what bev and richie are willing to spend money on)

she’s so happy when they get together, and part of the reason is lowkey bc now she doesn’t have to share the “richies best friend” label w eddie and the “eddie’s best friend” label w richie since they’re boyfriends now

bev is reddie’s official third wheel bc she’s the only one who's just as chaotic as they are

also she endured enough of them gushing about and pining over each other to earn the title

she designs both of their tuxes for their wedding

she also djs bc no one knows their music taste better than she does

they all love each other so much im emo

[clairenvk]

real quick drawings of the heart cap clubs hc that came from a brilliant anon and @ransonejames . whether eddie and bev and doing the scrapbook themselves or whether they found richie and ben’s scrapbook and theyre talking of how they’re gonna marry those lovesick nerds is up to you. (follow me on insta @/ciphersketches | rbs are appreciated!)

[edsbev]

broke: eddie having a crush on bev woke: eddie and bev are in the foster system because their parents are shit and it isn’t ignored. they’re put in a NICE home. they have parents who LOVE them. they are adopted siblings and are each other’s ROCKS. bev introduces eddie to the loud fucker with glasses that started following her around like a lost, yappy dog. eddie introduces bev to the quiet boy he found reading in the janitor’s closet one day and never let escape.

oh my god i love this concept so much. they’d have rooms right next to each other and when they get nightmares they’d tiptoe into the other’s room and sit up talking all night on their bedroom floor bc they dont want to sleep. or they’d crawl into the others bed because they feel safe sleeping so close to the other. but also they’d do typical dumb sibling shit. like eddie breaks bev’s hair straightener while using it one time and he just. hides it. like she’ll somehow forget she has a hair straightener. bc he’s too scared to tell her. and when bev’s bored she’ll go into eddie’s room and flop dramatically on his bed and harass him until he does something with her. and they make fun of each other’s crushes on richie and ben but then Wont shut up with their excitement when the other finally starts dating them (mostly bc theyre excited that their wingmanning worked)

[edsbev]

edbev sibling evidence: both eddie and bev had shower caps with the same design of hearts, bev had blue and eddie had red

bev got her shower cap first and eddie commented ‘i like the hearts on it’ and she said ‘theres another one with hearts. you should grab it. we can match’ and eddie said, excitedly ‘yeah, ok, awesome’ but as he said that richie strolled over and was like ‘what if i wanna match with you, marsh?’ and then all three of them looked down at the box of shower caps at the same time. looked back up at each other. then leapt forward, shoving each other out of the way to reach into the box. bev got there first, elbowing richie in the guts to do so. and she held the shower cap up triumphantly, giving richie a smug look, before handing it to eddie. eddie’s expression was both pleased and mirroring bev’s smug look over to richie. richie grumbled ‘whatever, i wouldve also given it to eddie anyway.’ 

and eddie and bev would use their matching caps against the others after that (mostly richie). like richie would swagger over to a corner of the clubhouse where eddie and bev were reading comics together and eddie’d be like ‘sorry. you can only sit here if you have hearts on your shower cap.’ or bill and ben would be making alterations to the clubhouse one day and bill would be like ‘hey eddie, bev, can you guys help?’ and bev would be like ‘no can do, bill. its against the rules of the Heart Caps Club to do any kind of chore’ and then she and eddie would go back to lazing on the hammock
