"you would hardly recognize me, i'm so glad"
☆
richie and vanessa walk out of the building along with the rest of the students. the group trails behind them, being far behind as the pair speeds their way down the steps. "slow down guys!" ben calls out. richie looks back at him, a soft smile creeps on his lips. "hurry up grandmas!"
"you guys just walk fast." eddie catches his breath, taking out his inhaler in a hurry. "oh don't be so dramatic, wheezy." richie jokes, poking at eddie's cheeks before having them swatted away. with a tap on richie's arm, vanessa grabs his attention and hands him the notepad.
do you want to hang out this afternoon?
the warmth of his cheeks is back, he's mentally slapping himself for getting so flustered. "of course." vanessa's eyes go wide and she claps excitedly. "you lovers hanging out?" ben teases as he looks at what vanessa wrote down.
"eddie and i aren't hanging out." richie looks over at eddie who looks like a deer caught in headlights. he starts to stammer out something incoherent, ears tomato red. "chill, dude. i was kidding." richie gives his back a soft pat, glaring at the boy for being dramatic yet again.
