Malachi and Rachel Friendship Headcanons
They met during a music program they were both in during middle school
Malachi has known Rachel longer then the losers club (besides Beverly)
They both clicked instantly over there shared love of music. Particularly The Beatles and New Kids On The Block
Rachel is the one who introduced Malachi to Fleetwood Mac.
Malachi taught Rachel how to play the guitar
Definition of ride or die. Seriously, these two would cover a murder for each other if they had to
If one of them hates someone, the other one automatically hates them to
Rachel hated when he was with Greta. She actually stopped speaking to him for a while because of it
They both have protective instincts over the people they care about. It's another reason they get along so well
In another universe there James Potter and Sirius Black
Malachi secretly loves NKOTB way more than he admits, but only Rachel and Beverly are allowed to know that.
They’ve both taken blame for things the other did.
They got into a fight once over who could pull Madonna. They didn't speak for an entire day because of it 🤣.
When Malachi tried to sacrifice himself for the losers to Pennywise, Rachel smacked him across the face for choosing to do something so stupid. His cheek was bright red for two days.
Rachel keeps spare guitar picks in every jacket pocket she owns because Malachi constantly loses his.
To this day, Rachel still doesn't understand why Malachi wanted her brother. He could pull anyone he wanted, ANYONE and he went for her four-eyed, loud, sarcastic, nonstop-talking little brother. It makes ZERO sense to her
