Meeting + Dating Henry Bowers
((Might do the rest of the bowers gang??? Idk.))
- You were either one of the Bowers gang's old victims or completely new to Derry.
- either way, he’s a complete dick to you.
- probably a firm believer in ‘if a boy hurts you it means he likes you’ because he learnt that from his parents.
- stealing your stuff and burning/hiding it, bullying you with his friends, calling you slurs etc.
- it does take awhile for him to actually stop bullying you (mostly because he realizes it’s pushing you farther away.)
- Either forces some little freshman to tell you he says he’s sorry, or passes you a note saying the same thing.
- now for getting you out for that first date?.. that took some time. Lots of trying to convince you, school dance invites and even showing up to your house with the Bowers gang to try and persuade you. (The others stayed in the car ofc. He doesn’t need their help! >:/)
- after the restless harassment of Henry Bowers, you eventually said yes! (out of pity? Maybe. He doesn’t need to know that.)
- first date was just walking around town with the rest of the gang quietly driving in someone else’s car with slushies and talking about whatever came to mind. It was quite nice actually
- it’s adorable that you think you're not together in his eyes now. Even if you did get with a guy after he’d start rumours. And rumours spread like wildfire in a small town's high school.
- Officially asked you to be ‘his’ at school a few weeks before summer break.
- Dating Henry takes patience—lots of it.
- Sorta awkward at first, hasn’t done this in awhile so give him some time..
- would never hurt you (sober of course.), if he did lose his patience and accidentally hit you it would follow with him breaking down in your arms and apologizing profusely.
- constantly holding you close whenever your around people.
- POSSESSIVE AF. Literally had to spend a few weeks in juvy because he almost killed someone for looking at you ‘funny’.
- Pretends to yawn so he can put an arm around your shoulder.
- your never hanging out at his place when his dad is home and don’t ask why, That just starts a fight.
- speaking of fights, he usually gets pissy about the stupidest shit (talking to any of the ‘losers’ mostly.)
- Hates manhandling/being manhandled . So if your into that.. no.
- Sneaking in through your bedroom window
- heavy make-out sessions in the back of Belch’s car. Whether the boys are in the gas station stealing snacks or still in the vehicle.. he doesn’t give a shit.
- romantic in his own way??? I mean if you swoon because he engraved your initials into his switchblade be my guest 🤷
- pet names are common and they also aren’t. ‘Angel cakes’ in a mocking way is his favourite, but loves to be called anything sweet in private.
