Chapter Four

Kevin

Elder Price hit the ground with an audible thud. He groaned, rolling slightly.

"Elder Price! Oh my goodness, are you okay?" Elder McKinley called from the top of the tree.

"I'm okay...ish." Elder Price called back breathily. He was having the scary sensation of having the wind knocked out of you. He knew he just needed to relax and he'd catch his breath, but the more he thought about relaxing, the more he freaked out over being unable to breathe.

"Stay right there." Elder McKinley instructed. "I'll be right down."

Elder Price muttered that he really couldn't go anywhere and then tried to sit up. It hurt, but not nearly as badly as he had thought it would. He straightened his tie, adjusted his name tag and brushed some of the leaves out of his hair.

"Oh...Elder Price, I shouldn't have spooked you like that! I'm sorry." Elder McKinley cried as he rushed to the younger elder's side.

"I'm fine, really. Just a little banged up, but I'll be back to normal in no time. So...um, about your secret?"

"Yeah?"

"Does that mean you're not going to 'Turn it Off' anymore, when it comes to your gay thoughts, I mean?"

"Yeah, I guess it does. I hadn't really thought about it, actually."

"Okay."

"Do you hate me now, Elder?"

"Hate you? Why would I hate you?"

"Because I just admitted that I am gay."

"We've all known you were gay since we've met you."

"What? How?"

"Well, most straight guys don't bring out a rousing tap number when they explain what they do with feelings they shouldn't be feeling."

"Oh. I guess that's true...so you aren't repulsed that another man has romantic feelings for you?"

"No, not particularly."

"You're not afraid I'm going to send you to Hell?"

"Why do you keep asking these questions?"

"I'm nervous, you're the first person I've come out to and I don't want everyone to hate me and-" He was cut off by a pair of lips on his own.

"There. Do you understand that I don't hate you now?" Elder Price asked, smirking slightly.

"Loud and clear." Elder McKinley said, staring wide-eyed at the boy in front of him.

"That doesn't make any sense."

"It doesn't have to." Elder McKinley spun around in a hazy pirouette. "I'm in love! I'm in LOVE and I don't care who knows it!"

"Whoa, whoa, Elder McKinley. You might not want to yell that so loud." Elder Price said, glancing around nervously.

"Why not?"

"Well, I mean, we're Mormon missionaries. Gay and Mormon don't really go together. They aren't peanut butter and jelly. And you know, we're also in Uganda," Elder Price said, not meeting the other boy's eyes.

Elder McKinley cocked his head, "So?"

"Well, being gay is sort of illegal here." Elder Price whispered.

"Oh. Right." Elder McKinley's head dropped. "So what do we do for now then? Do we just act like nothing's going on?"

"No, I don't think so." Elder Price said, looking up and running his hand through his hair, something he rarely did, unless he was really upset. "I mean, we'll have to act that way in front of other people, but we can still have can make this tree our place, I think...I mean if you want this. Do you want this?"

Elder McKinley gasped, "Do I want this?"

"Well, do you?"

Throwing his arms around the other boy's neck, Elder McKinley cried, "YES! I've had the Hell dream every night because I want this!"
