Beans
Ennis can't help but be transported to his own world on Brokeback Mountain during the day, daydreaming and it doesn't help that Alma has become obsessed with making beans. Lame summary, please read and review.
"Yup?" replied Ennis is a deep croaky voice.
Alma paused for a minute with a pan in her over clad hands a she came to a decision; "You've been sleepin' aint' ya. You know I don't like it when you do that."
Ennis just looked at her with an unreadable face, the reason he had frequent naps during the day was because he was up almost all night, to afraid to sleep. Afraid because Alma became suspicious after she heard him muttering in his sleep, moaning and repeating the name Jack over and over again.
"Jack fuckin' Twist" thought Alma as she saw the look on his face, she knew that if she didn't get his attention soon, he'd go off into his own world, the world where Jack was his partner, not her.
"Dinner's ready, Beef Cuts, Broccoli and Beans."
"Sounds good, I like beans..."
"We had beans yesterdaaaayyy" complained Alma Jr.
Alma just looked at him strangely and at Alma Jr. with a stern look as she served everyone and sat down. Jenny was eating happily and Alma Jr. was eating quickly, around her beans.
"Eat your beans Junior" said Ennis as he noticed this, "They'll make ya strong."
With her father's approval, Alma Jr. decided to eat her beans because she wanted to be just like her dad.
That night, Ennis lay awake in bed, Alma was asleep beside him but once again he couldn't sleep, it wasn't that he was afraid this time; his mind just wouldn't shut off.
Ennis rode into camp with a pained look on his face, he could see Jack sitting beside the campfire obviously angry.
"Where the hell you been? I came back hungry as hell and all I find is beans!"
Jack stopped his moaning at the look Ennis gave him and as he turned his head to reveal a bloody wound.
"Shit..." Jack whispered.
He put his handkerchief in the boiling water to give it a quick clean before placing it softly against Ennis' head, Ennis however gave him a cold look and grabbed the handkerchief from him and he started to clean his own head.
Ennis lay awake in bed again, awoken from his memories by Alma turning over and murmuring, but he remembered with a smile what happened that night and the look that Jack gave him; he would never forget those eyes.
The next day at around six Alma served dinner and the family sat around at the table to eat.
Ennis had a tired look on his face again and Alma looked away from him sighing as Alma Jr. asked what was for dinner.
"Dad got us some chicken breast, so we're havin' that with spuds and beans"
"I'm sick o' beans!" said an exasperated Alma Jr. as Ennis started to laugh and laugh remembering that morning up on Brokeback.
The Del Mar's looked at him with a startled look on their faces and seeing that only made him laugh that extra bit harder.
Alma rolled her eyes as once again, he was off.
But Ennis didn't have a care in the world, his Jack was all that was on his mind and he was perfectly happy with it being Twist TV 24/7.
What do you think? Not one of my best but I've wanted to write something like this for a while, if anyone has any suggestions or comments then review and even if you don't still review and keep the my Brokeback obsessed world spinning.
