Who: Stan and Eddie What: Just two bros without the hot tub Where: The Losers House When: Today
Things in the house were just a little bit.... tense, Stan thought. Or maybe it had just been a passing thing, he hoped that had been all it was. He didn't like the idea of there being any more tension than this place had all on its own. His walk with Eddie earlier had been nice too - just the two of them for a little while, while Stan just sort of rambled a bit, about birds and the quite frankly intensely exciting prospect of finding some sort of undiscovered specimen here in this place.
He hadn't found anything like that then, and Eddie had gone off to finish his walk on his own eventually - but Stan thought maybe in time he might find something.
Today though was about the state of things, about Eddie and making sure he was okay, about getting the same sort of time with him that he'd gotten with Richie too. He'd teased that he loved Richie best but the truth was he loved them both in an intense sort of way that was hard to put into words. It left him feeling a little bit the way he had on his wedding day, saying his wedding vows, only these were his childhood friends that he thought he'd never get to see again so it all felt maybe a little bit more intense and a little bit harder to really wrap his head around.
Still he'd try. For them.
"Richie is worried that you might try and form a new FDA in this place." Stan didn't really need an excuse to launch right into a conversation, particularly when he thought he might need to draw his friend out a bit. So he was doing just that. "I think he's probably just worried about the prospect of losing out on free pizza. You know what this place really needs?" Stan continued on, "A movie theater - I haven't been in ... I can't even remember the last time I've been."
