imagine if Richie got braces
-one of the worst days of Richie’s life was having to walk into school with braces -it turned out his teeth were fucked, and now he needed to wear them for the next couple of years -everyone at school had a field day making fun of him, now that he looked even nerdier than before -the loser’s club tried to assure him he looked fine; that it was no big deal. But he saw Stan sniggering, and noticed Eddie’s pitying look -Richie eventually stopped talking, laughing, or doing anything that would risk showing people his braces. -Eddie started to notice; and knew there was only one solution: -he got braces too. Convincing his mom was way too easy. “But mom! Not getting braces could pose a serious risk to my mouth in the future! What if I end up with a jaw misalignment?!” -Richie is over the moon the day Eddie walks in to school and gives him the biggest smile ever; showing him his new rainbow braces -they actually really suit him; and it weirdly becomes the cool new thing. Nobody makes fun of Richie anymore. In fact, they’re all secretly envious -….but Eddie and Richie totally don’t end up getting their mouths stuck together after their braces tangle during a make out session…. -definitely not.
