@whotookmygrapes sorry it took forever 0w0;;- this sucks, I know. I tried anyways.

K so Henry killing a dog hurts me so I came came up with this cause i just want all of them to be happy  

So in some AU where the bowers gang and the losers come to some sort of reconciliation by the end of the summer:

It’s the last day of summer and everyone is still iffy about the truce, but Henry especially still feels a lot of guilt over some of the things he did but can’t express it cause he is emotionally inarticulate

The losers are at the quarry hanging out and Belch’s car with pulls up with him and Henry and Vic. Henry gets out and is like holding his jacket against his chest in a weird way, looking really defensive and anxious. Vic and Belch kinda give him the “go on you can do it” motion, so he approaches the losers. There all like “wth”, and Richie like puts himself infront of eddie to protect him, but they wait to hear what Henry wants.

Surprising everyone, Henry approaches Mike and mumbles uncomfortably “Hey I need to talk to you”

The rest of the losers are ready to jump if he tries anything to hurt their bro. But Mike squares up and he’s like “Yeah? What?” all tough.

Henry, looking even more uncomfortable, pulls a little puppy out from his jacket and shoves it into Mike’s hands. And it’s the cutest puppy ever and it’s so excited and licking Mike’s face etc etc.

And everybody gasps and Mike looks at Henry in shock, until Henry is so uncomfortable he has to explain what’s going on.

“…Some stray bitch had puppies in the shed in my back yard, and left this one cause it’s a runt. My dad told me to drown it in the quarry,… but I thought maybe you’d want it…?”

Everyone is shocked into silence

Until Richie says “That’s the most white trash thing I‘ve ever heard”

And Henry’s like “I’ll fuck you up Tozier” but resists the temptation to actually beat him up

And then Henry turns back to Mike and says “Do whatever you want with it, I don’t care” and speedwalks back to the car. Vic and Belch have the proudest “you’re doing great sweetie” looks on their faces, and Henry just wants to leave so they drive away.
