(Y/F/I) - Your First Initial
(Y/L/I) - Your Last Initial
You were the first girl that ever took notice of Ringo.
Heâd sit in front of the mirror and curse himself for looking like that.
Sad eyed,
Lop sided smile,
He hated it.
Until he met you.
You moved to Liverpool from Sheffield, in mid June 1955.
Richard had finally been completely discharged from Myrtle Street Childrenâs Hospital that year, beginning school at Dingle Vale Secondary Modern in September.
You were in the same form, he remembered when you came in.
You shyly introduced yourself, not really wanting to give your entire life story to a classroom full of strangers.
âTake a seat where ever yâd like, love.â The teacher smiled, as he motioned around the room.
You surveyed your surroundings, quickly spotting a boy sat alone at the back of the room.
He was staring at you.
You thanked your form teacher, moving to the back of the room, and asking if you could sit with him.
âExcuse me, a-am I alright to sit âere?â You pointed to the empty seat beside him, nervously speaking up.
It took him a moment to realise you were talking to him.
You.
You were gorgeous, Richard was sure on that as soon as you entered.
But now you were talking to him.
Him.
Richard Starkey.
The lad no one wanted to talk to.
âOh! Of-of course yâ can!â He pulled the chair out, giddily offering you the seat.
âWouldnât sit there, love. Wouldnât want to be caught up wiâ the wrong bunch.â
A wanna-be teddy boy a few rows in front said, scoffing.
You looked at him, and Richardâs expression faltered.
Of course you were going to sit with Pete Best.
Every one did.
It wasnât that Best was even a likeable character, he was horrible. But people didnât want to be shunned and bullied for their school years.
You raised an eyebrow.
âIâd rather sit âere than wiâ someone wiâ a dead squirrel on his head.â
You replied, sitting yourself down next to Richard.
Peteâs smirk faltered at your reference to his hairstyle, he snickered something to his mates under his breath before turning around to face the front, lighting a cigarette.
That was when Ritchie decided he wanted to marry you.
There and then.
ââM Richard, Richard Starkey.â He said, holding his hand out to you, politely.
You giggled and took his hand, shaking it. â(Y/n), (Y/n) (L/n).â
He said your name a few time under his breath, liking how it sounded, as he rolled it on his tongue.
âWe should call yâ Ringo. Wiâ the amounâ of bloody rings yâ wearinâ!â You joked, looking down at his hands.
But the name seemed to stick.
After that, the two of you became inseparable.
You were in the same set, so you were together in most classes, anyways.
The teddy boys and the girls that hung off of their arms never took notice of you, but it never seemed to bother you.
You were quite contempt just hanging out with Richard.
But he could never figure out why.
No one ever took notice of him.
Ever.
So why would someone as perfect as you willingly be friends with him?
That was something he couldnât put his finger on.
You even stuck up for him.
It was another one of those day, Pete and his little âgangâ, (if you could even call it that), were picking on Richard,
Again.
âI canât figure out why thaâ bird would hang out with yâ. Wiâ nose and eyes like thaâ yâd be better fit in a bloody ogre exhibit.â He commented, accompanied by the forced giggles from the desperate girls beside him. One lighting his cigarette.
âYour arse must be jealous, amounâ of shit coming out yâ mouth.â You said to the man, appearing next to Richard after hearing what was being said.
âCome on baby, yâ can still ditch thaâ weirdo.â He told you, offering you a hand. Richard just stared at his feet, prepared for you to take him up on his offer.
âYâ can fuck off. Iâll gouge meâ own eyes out wiâ a spoon before beinâ one of yâ whores. Get thaâ stick out yâ arse.â You told him, and his voice faltered for a minute, silenced humbly by your words.
Richard felt an arm on his shoulder, looking up with a small smile to your concerned arms. âTake no notice of them, Ringo. Theyâre just jealous that they could never be as hot as you.â You informed him, a playful smirk climbing onto your lips as you both laughed.
âYeah, Ringo. Listen to yâ little slut. If itâs a shag yâ aftaâ, princess - Iâm right âere.â Pete piped up again, getting wolf-whistled by his little cronies.
Ritchie didnât know what went through his head.
They didnât know he had it in him.
He didnât know he had it in him.
But he punched him.
Richard Starkey punched Pete Best.
âDonât yâ dare say that about her, ever.â
Then you both legged it.
Legged it out of the school.
Legged it away from Pete.
You just legged it.
âThanks, Ringo. Yâ like meâ knight in shininâ armour.â You told him, pecking his cheek when youâd come to a stop, both out of breath.
His face blushed a deep red, causing you both to laugh.
âYâ welcome, I care about yâ, yâ know?â He said, smiling reassuringly.
âI know, Ritchie. I care about yâ too.â
Neither of you know in what context you meant to each other, but both were a confession of love.
You were like a walking self-confidence booster, for Richard.
Every time he felt bad about himself, youâd sit there until he appreciated himself, for (quote, on quote), âbeing so gorgeousâ.
For his birthday in early July, youâd gotten him two things.
A mirror, of which youâd written multiple words on it, about him. âGorgeousâ âHappy smileâ âBeautiful eyesâ âPerfectâ, things like that.
The other, was a ring. It was bright orange, âso it stands outâ, youâd told him. And inside, was the two of yourâs initials. âR.S. & (Y/F/I). (Y/L/I).â
Youâd told him it was a âfriendship ringâ, as you had your own, but to you - it felt like much more, like a metaphor for carving your initials in a tree, with a heart around it.
You were even the one to encourage him to pursueďżź his passion for drumming, supporting him no matter what he did, and he did the same for you.
Every day, Richard fell more and more in love with you,
So here he was.
Stood at your front door.
February 14th, 1956.
He looked quite âdapperâ, at least thatâs what his mother and father had told him.
He was wearing a nice black suit,
Hair slicked back,
Juggling roses, chocolates, and a sign.
He was finally going to do it.
He was finally going to ask you out.
Donât get me wrong, he was pacing in front of your door for a good five minutes before just forcing himself to knock.
No going back now.
âIâll get it, mum!â He heard your muffled voice through the door, before it swung open.
He had a wide, anxious grin on his face as he saw you.
âHiya, Ringo-â your voice quietened as you looked at the sign.
You laughed slightly, causing him to frown with confusion.
âRitchie, itâs upside down.â You informed him, he made an obvious âOâ shape, with his mouth, quickly switching it around in his hands, lips forming a trembling smile again.
You read it,
And read it again,
And again,
And again,
And again,
Until you had it memorised.
â(Y/n), will you be my Valentine?â
It read.
You smiled wildly, watching him biting his lip, impatiently awaiting your answer.
âSo, what dây say, pet? Will yâ be meâ Valentine?â He asks, hopefully.
You grabbed his collar, and pulled him towards yourself, kissing him forcefully.
He dropped the sign, chocolates, and followers, discarding them to hold your hips tightly against his own.
âSo, is thaâ a yes?â He asked, grinning, and you giggled.
âYes, of course it is, Ringo.â You leaned your forehead against his, feeing safe in his embrace.
It was perfect.
