    Summary

    The day they met, it smelled of chalk, bleach, and spilled apple juice. Eddie was counting his steps — seventy-three from the entrance to the biology classroom. On the seventy-fourth step, Richie Tozier crashed into him.

    And never really left.

    For years, Richie has called Eddie Kaspbrak his best friend. For years, Eddie has pretended to believe him. But when a newspaper column exposes Eddie as a man trapped in a glass box of his own making, Richie offers a way out: three weeks of pretending to date. Long enough to prove the article wrong. Long enough to prove that walls can break.

    The pretending lasted exactly zero seconds.

    Summary

    Beverly lightly clapped her hands and sang, “We get to meet Richie’s boyfriend. We get to meet Richie’s boyfriend.”

    Everyone snickered, including Richie. Eddie attempted to laugh along, but he continued to study his best friend. Everyone else may have been chalking it up to Richie being shy about his love life, but Eddie knew better.

    Something was wrong. Very, very wrong.

    or

    Richie's boyfriend is a piece of shit and the Loser's Club are very much not okay with it.

    Summary

    This picks off a little over a month from where "Love is a Four Letter Word... so is Fear" leaves off.
    Richie, now living with Beverly and her aunt, has to juggle his relationship, his job, and his homework, all while working through years of trauma. He appreciates living with Beverly and her aunt, and he feels safe there, but he struggles to feel like he belongs there. Despite having a job to support himself as much as he can, he feels like a burden.

    Rated for Trashmouth's language. (And the rest of the losers but he's the worst)
