WHO: Stan and Richie
WHAT: Just two guys being dudes
WHERE: Their house
WHEN: Tonight

Just when Stan felt like he'd been getting a hang on this place it went and did something to reassure him that no, he was severely mistaken he was not at all in a position to have any sort of handle on this place and that he really ought to just stop trying to pretend that he did. Which was of course where the issue was for him. Because Stan was the sort of person that liked order, he liked cleanliness, he liked to have a modicum of control over his life, it was a little bit of why he'd done what he'd done to end up here in the first place. To be the one to choose, to do it himself and not allow it to happen some other way, because he knew it would have and then his friends would have had to deal with the fall out of that.

But now he was here, and well he wasn't having thoughts that suggested maybe he needed to take drastic moves again to get away from it all, to save anyone. But he was struggling with it all, trying to figure out how to keep his legs under him and his wits about him as best he could. Which was why he stuck so close to his Losers.

Maybe he'd figure out how to change that, how to be better about it. Maybe not. It was hard to say really, but what was never hard was being around them. Stan couldn't believe he'd spent so long without them, not remembering who they'd been or how vital they had once been to him. But he had a chance now to fix that, to make it right and be better with them, and that was something to hold on to tightly now that he had it again.

"Richie," Stan groaned as he threw himself down beside him, leaning heavily into his side with a huff. "Entertain me," He pressed, not that he actually expected anything spectacular out of Richie in that moment, as much as he just wanted a little bit of his attention before he went off to bother one of the others. Maybe Eddie.

"No, I mean - I don't need you to do anything I guess I just wanted to say it out loud," He admitted with a sigh sinking down a little bit lower trying to decide what exactly had come over him and why he'd decided this was how he wanted to spend his time that afternoon rather than just poking at Richie until he managed to get enough entertainment out of him to satisfy the part of his mind that itched for something more.

"You know? Sometimes you just have to say a thing to be able to make it make sense. Not that this makes any sense, but I feel like maybe I've got a little bit more of a handle on it now than it had on me." So that was something really, better than keeping it all inside and then letting it be one more something in a pile of somethings that would overwhelm him somewhere down the line.

"Sorry," He added after a few beats, "For just letting all that out at you. Normally I'd uh - well Patty was a really good listener." He said trying to explain it a little bit.
