Just Once

Chapter 1: The Dawn [The Beginning]

Their tongues fought a wet match. It had been the first time, and most probably the only time, that Tom and Bill would share a kiss.

They were both sober to be honest. It s not alcohol that caused the twins to do such a thing that the society considers as taboo. Could it have been curiosity which is the most acceptable answer, they would have not continued the act for an hour.

"That was-" , Tom said as he finally pulled back. He was practically suffocating.

Bill whined a little. He looked beautiful, as always, but now was quite different. His lips seemed fuller; swollen and red.

"Wow."

They were smiling, happy for an unknown reason.

"I'll just go get some water. The finally undreadlocked guitarist said."

Bill replied with a grunt.

Tom grabbed two glasses, opened the faucet and let water flow in them. He took a drink that cleared his throat, regretting a little for it erased the sweet taste of Bill lingering on his tongue. After he put down his glass he opened the window just right in front of him. Bill wouldn t mind if he lagged a little

A wind blew onto his face. It was gentle and calm, just enough to have little leaves and a little dirt to float around.

Dirt got into his eyes. He rubbed his eyes hard, despite the fact that his mom had always told him that it was unhygienic. He gave up the rubbing because he finally realized that his stubbornness won t help him.

He washed his face of water that flowed from the faucet that he had forgotten to turn off. He had been thinking about Bill.

The water did not only clear his eyes of the dirt, but also his head. His mind, fogged by thoughts of his beautiful brother Bill was cleared too. Bill is his brother.

"That was wrong."

He turned the faucet off and went back to his room, leaving the glass of water that was meant for his twin.

"Bill."

Tom's voice startled him a bit. He was thinking about him too, due to twin connection that no one else could understand.

Soulmates. Yeah, right. Bill thought.

He knew what was coming.

"It was just once. It will not happen again."

Tom was half-surprised. Half because he realized after a split second that Bill could read his mind.

He swallowed, hard. Was he hurting Bill?

"Don t worry about me. We share everything, right? I won't sulk. Promise."

Tom nodded but he knew something was quite...off.

For now, he just had to believe in Bill.

TOOOOOOOBIIIIII! I'm really sorry! I can't think of what to write! I'm really, REALLY sorry!

:( :( :(

It's been quite a while..cuz I cut my fingertips because I used this old guitar that had EXTREMELY hard strings [maybe even worse than the bass]. I couldn't type..

but as you can see..I can..[a bit..it still hurts] now.

I'm sorry if this is short... XD
