DISCLAMER: I don't own any Newsies character. For those of you who have seen Brokeback Mountain and reconize some quotes, just know that I don't own those either.

WARNING: Slash. Don't like it? Don't read it.

NOTE: I'm really surprised that no one has written a Brokeback Mountain/Newsies thing...and if someone has...whoops. I think that this is going to be as close as it gets with that. I originaly was going to make this short, but then I got into the Brokeback Mountain mood. So I added a dash of gay cowboys into the mix (hey, Jack wants to go to Santa Fe...it fits...).

I don't know where it all came from. This feeling I got when I looked at him. The fake smile I gave him when he made a bad joke. I can never look at him the same way with out feeling my heart beat faster. I can't think of him with out having a strange feeling down in my stomach, and even lower. I don't know how it happened or when…it just did, and I can't stop it now. Because love is a force of nature.

"You gonna finish those fries Davey?" Spot asked me pointing at the small basket of fries. I sighed and pushed the basket over towards him. Racetrack rolled his eyes as Spot started working on the fries. The gang and I decided to go to a bowling alley just to hang out for the evening. Besides me and Jack, the others were going cutesy on each other, so it seemed like a group date instead of a bunch of friends hanging out. I looked over at Blink who was preparing to throw a bowling ball into the lane. He lifted the ball, and lowered it again. He shifted to the left and scooted back. Then he lifted the ball again, then lowered it.

"Blink! Would you throw the ball already!?" Jack shouted impatiently. Blink dropped the ball into the lane. It rolled straight for a moment, and then landed in the gutter. I stared up at the screen where a short movie of a bowling pin being smashed by a rock was playing. Blink turned and glared at Jack. Jack smirked. "Your welcome." Mush went up to Blink and threw his arms around his neck.

"It's ok Blink," Mush smiled. "At least you've hit a few pins." Blink smiled and gave Mush a kiss on the lips.

"Yeah, unlike Spot who's only focused on eating." Blink laughed.

"I heard that Patchy!" Spot growled before popping two more fries in his mouth. Racetrack shook his head and grabbed Spot's hand. Spot looked at Racetrack and smiled. Racetrack smiled back and kissed his hand. I was glad to see that Racetrack and Spot were happy together, despite the rough beginning they had. I looked over at Blink and Mush. The two were still holding on to one another and smiling.

"I'm glad that every one is enjoying each other," I thought to myself. Then I turned my head reluctantly towards Jack. He was leaning against a table near by. His hair was nearly slicked back, beside the few that usually hung down. My heart lurched forward as he smiled and stood straight. He went over to pick up a bowling ball and stood in front of the lane. I watched as his muscles flexed underneath his gray t-shirt. I started imagining what those would have looked like, without the shirt. I stood up and walked behind him. He looked back at me and smirked.

"This is how a real man throws a bowling ball," he told me, but said it loud enough for all to hear. He turned his head back towards the lane and pulled the ball back behind him. At that moment, I grabbed the ball and watched as he threw his empty arm forward and fall flat on his face. I laughed my "girly giggle", as Spot would call it, as the rest of the gang started laughing.

"That's some throw Jack," Racetrack called. Jack sat up and whipped his bloody lip. He glared at me, before smiling. He stood and grabbed the bowling ball back from me.

"Sorry Jack," I said to him. "Couldn't resist." Jack shoved me playfully and then threw the ball in the lane. A perfect strike. He looked back at me.

"Your turn," he whispered. I grabbed a bowling ball and positioned myself towards the lane. I stared at the bowling pins in front of me before taking a few steps back. I don't know what made me want to have a running start before I threw the ball, but I did it. I ran forward, holding the ball behind me, and let go. Unfortunately, if you mess with Jack, you get stuck in your own mess. As I let go, I noticed that I didn't have a ball to let go of. And since I had a running start, my weight pushed me forward down the lane. I yelled as I was sliding down the lane. Then I crashed into the wall and fell on my back. I groaned and laid there for a moment.

"David!" Jack shouted as he slid after me. He made himself fall just before he got to me. I was coughing a bit once Jack reached me and sat me up. "Are you ok?" I nodded. He sighed and gave me the friendly hug he usually gave me. "Don't scare me like that you idiot. I thought I was going to have to pay for your medical bills."

"You? Scared?" I laughed as pulled back from the hug and stood up. "Jack, the day you're actually scared is the day the world comes to an end." He stared at me as I started gliding back towards the others.

"Hey guys, check out the show off," Blink laughed. I looked back and saw Jack moon-walking back towards us. I laughed as he add a little spin at the end. Mush had an excited look on his face.

"That looks like fun!" Mush exclaimed. "I want to try!" Blink held on to Mush's hand as the other boy tried to slide down the lane next to us.

"Mush I don't think you should--WHOAH!" Blink yelled as Mush pulled him down the lane. Blink fell and pulled Mush with him. The two boys were laughing as they slid down towards the pins. Spot ran past me and slid sideways down our lane.

"This is how it's done boys," he called before falling down. Jack pushed me down the lane again after Spot. I grabbed his hand and pulled him with me. I let go of his hand and lowered myself to the lane, trying to slow down. Jack fell on top of me, and the both of us were laughing as we reached the pins. I saw Racetrack sliding down the lane beside us.

"Falling, yes I am falling. And she keeps calling, me back again," he sang loudly. Jack rolled his eyes.

"Of course Racetrack would sing a song from a musical that Broadway freak," Jack muttered to me. I chuckled and looked up at him. The smile on my face vanished as I realized that Jack was on top of me. I could feel myself blush. Only in my imagination have I thought this would ever happen. Jack's smile faded as well and he looked deep into my eyes. I tried to control the feeling I was getting below my stomach, but it was very hard while I was getting lost in his chocolate eyes. He smiled and jumped up.

"Hey guys!" Jack called to the boys. I sat up and walked back to the tables. I distracted myself by thinking about the super-hero movie I had seen a week ago. The feeling was gone. "Lets have a race to see who slides the fastest!" The boys shouted in agreement and all positioned themselves at a lane. The people at the lanes we were using up, weren't very happy about a bunch of teens taking up their bowling space. I stood a few feet away from the beginning of our lane and looked over at Jack. He grinned at me.

"On your mark!" Mush called.

"Get set!" Spot shouted.

"Go!" Blink finished, as I tore my eyes away from Jack. We all raced forward and started sliding down our lanes. One by one, the boys fell to the floor until I was the only one left. I raised my arms above my head and let out a victory yell before I too fell on the floor.

"Attention all bowlers," a voice said. "The bowling alley is now closed due to the recklessness of the bowlers in lane six." I tried to keep myself from laughing as I looked at Mush and mouthed, "Whoops." He giggled. "Sorry for the inconvenience folks. And you teens at lane six had better get your asses out of here before I call the cops!" I stood up and hurried over towards the rest of the group.

"Well, I guess that means we better split," Blink whispered. We returned our shoes and headed out of the bowling alley.

It was the usual drop-off routine when the gang went out. Jack dropped off all the boys to their houses and left me for last. I don't know why he insists to leave me last, but I never complained. It would give us a chance to talk for a while, and for my preference, be alone. Today was no different, except for the fact that we didn't talk much. I was too love-struck about what happened, when Jack was on top of me. We drove in silence after Jack dropped off Racetrack and Spot at Spot's place. I could tell that Jack was getting agitated by the silence, but I didn't know what to say to him with out bringing that up.

"So," he finally said. I didn't look at him. "Did you have fun today?" I nodded. He waited. "You didn't get too hurt while sliding down that lane the first time did you?" I shook my head. "You do know I want more than your head shaking as a response." I shrugged. He growled a bit frustrated, but didn't say anything else. He pulled the car over a couple of blocks away from my house. He cut the engine and we sat there. I looked at him.

"Why did we stop?" I asked quietly. He put on a surprised face.

"A miracle! He speaks!" Jack joked. I rolled my eyes and shoved him playfully. Jack smiled. Then he un-buckled my seatbelt and then his own. He got out of the car and opened my door. I gave him a confused look. "I wanted to talk to you."

"What about?" I asked.

"Sarah, me…and you." Panic swept through my body for a second, but then I played it cool. I got out and shut the door behind me. He tilted his head towards the side walk and I nodded. We walked side by side down the street, with only the street lamps to give us light. We were so close that our hands would always brush against each other. I pursed my lips.

"So, you said you wanted to talk about Sarah," I said nervously. He gave a stiff nod. "What did you want me to know about her? She not a virgin or something?" Jack stopped and stared into my eyes very strict like.

"David," he said sternly. "I don't know if you know this, but I never want to have sex with anyone until after I'm married." I looked down at the cement. I didn't want to look at his eyes when they were like that.

"Sorry," I muttered. "It was just a joke…"

"Well, it wasn't a very good one," he nearly hissed. I nodded and tried to walk past him. Jack grabbed my arm and held me in place. I still didn't want to look at him. "Hey, I'm sorry. It's just a really touchy subject." I slowly looked up at him. He smiled warmly and let go.

"I'm sorry too," I told him. He sat down on the grass and patted the ground next to him. I sat next to him and sighed. "So what is it you wanted to talk about Sarah?"

"Aren't you curious about what I have to say about you?" he asked. I shrugged.

"I guess I sort of am, but she's my sister. If there's anything that important that I need to know about her, then I want to hear about her first."

"Wow, you really care about your family."

"It's a curse." Jack laughed as I smiled.

"Have you heard of the movie 'Brokeback Mountian?'" Jack asked me. I gave him a weird look. His smile turned into a grinned.

"No…I haven't." He laid down and looked up at the stars. I sat there for a moment, then laid down as well.

"Well, it takes place in the summer of 1963. Two nineteen year old boys, like us, decided to get a job as sheep herders. The two of them have a pretty hard life, and feel pretty alone. While they're working together, they develop a friendship. That friendship becomes so strong, that--"

"They turn queer?" I asked. He nodded.

"Yeah, you could say that. So anyways, one boy wants them to be together no matter what, but the other doesn't think it would work. He said that if anyone had ever found them together then they could be killed for being queer." The summer night sounds surrounded us. I saw Jack shut his eyes for a minute, then look up at the stars above us. I looked up as well. We laid there close to each other, listening to the crickets chirp. "Love is a force of nature, David." I looked at him.

"Why did you tell me all of this?" I said sounding puzzled. He didn't look at me, he just kept looking at the stars.

"I've seen that movie a couple of times and I can relate pretty well," he murmured, completely ignoring my question.

"How come?"

"Well, the boy who doesn't want the two to be together is named Ennis. The other boy…" Jack paused and sighed. "The other boy's name is Jack." I was glad that Jack was still gazing up at the stars, because I didn't want him to see my shocked face.

"I…I don't…" I couldn't spit it out.

"Later, after the two boys leave the ranch, Ennis gets married and Jack has his own girl. But Jack is more attracted to men." Jack added. Now I was really confused. Was Jack trying to tell me something that I had been dying to hear ever since I figured out that I liked him more than just a friend? Or was he just trying to avoid the subject that he really needed to talk about? Jack finally looked at me. "Do you get it?"

"Jack…"

Jack pulled him self on top of me and held my face. My heart was pounding faster as he used his thumb to rub my cheek. I lifted my hand and held his hand. He lowered his head and brushed his nose gently against mine.

"David…" Jack whispered. Jack closed his eyes and lowered his head a little more, causing his lips to touch mine. A wave of pleasure ran through my body. I opened my mouth a little and let him kiss me fully. Then everything he was telling me about the movie made sense. Jack looked at that movie as his own love life. He didn't like Sarah…he liked me.

Jack groaned as I felt his tongue brush against the roof of my mouth. One of my hands grabbed onto the back of Jack's head, while the other wrapped around his waist. Jack put much force and passion into the kiss he gave me. I could feel that feeling down below again, but this time I let it go. This was what I had wanted for a while, and I didn't care anymore if he knew about this. One of Jack's hand left my face and went into my shirt. I moaned as I felt his hand slide up from my abs to my chest and stay there.

Jack pulled back and broke the kiss. Even though my head was spinning from the emotions that were running through my body, I whimpered a bit and pulled his head back to my head. He didn't fight it. We kissed for a second, before he moved his lips down to my neck. I opened my eyes when he stopped. I stared into his eyes. We were both breathing pretty hard, like we were two robbers who had just ran away from a bunch of police officers. Jack smiled and kissed my neck again.

"Do you get it now?" he muttered into my neck. I held his head and waist tighter.

"I do now," I whispered as I ran my fingers through his dirty blond hair. "And I'm glad that I did."

Guess what everyone? I have decided from the begining that this story is not going to be a one-shot. gasp! Yeah, I sort of have a story line planned out for this...and I think it might some-what be like the Brokeback Mountain story line...but not really. I thought of the story line before I looked up Brokeback Mountain. Yeah, I ruined the movie for me by reading the summary...but it's just because I'll never get the chance to actually watch the movie. grumbles angryly If anyone likes it the way it is, I'd like to know. If anyone thinks is a good or bad idea that I'm going to make this a chapter story, then I'd like to know. What I'm basically saying is I'd like to hear what you guys think of this. Don't be shy to point things out, I've come to find out that they really help (someone pointed out in my other story "Spot's Symbols" that it was hard to understand what the characters were saying, and lo and behold, they were right). Oh another thing...the whole bowling date thing...I got that idea from the movie, Across The Universe. I also don't own that.
