(Please Come Closer)
Randy shut his eyes open.
Have I been sleeping? Where am I?
It only takes Randy a couple of seconds to brief himself about the last hours.
Randy is shaking, it's cold as hell. He starts the car and turns on the heater.
John gets roused by the racket coming from the car.
He looks at Randy with tired eyes, he is having a hard time keeping them open. Randy looks pretty grumpy.
"How is the weather?" John whispers weary.
"It's still snowing, we're still stuck."
John rubs his eyes: "Stop being so grumpy all the time," John says with a slight of irritation in his voice.
"Shut up."
"I'm hungry."
"Didn't I just tell you to shut up?!"
John grabs Randys arm and pulls him closer to him.
"I'm HUNGRY… Okay?!"
Randy pulls himself back, he didn't expect that one.
"I… I think I have some food in the glove compartment."
John opens it and reaches out for a bag in there. He pulls the bag out and he takes a look in it.
"I thought you didn't eat candy?" John says smiling.
"I don't… Well sometimes… There is a reason why I hide that kind of stuff… Cause you'll never know when a sugar addicted breaks into your car and starts to search for prey." Randy sends John an angry gaze.
"Uhh! You're so scary!"
"Kids normally shut the fuck up when you give them candy. I wish it would work on you too!"
John shakes his head and starts to fill his mouth with the sweets.
Randy can look right into the bag, it makes his mouth water.
"John?"
"Yarh?…" John tried to say yeah, but his mouth is overfilled.
"Can I have the red one?"
John swallows: "Dig in," he says handing Randy the bag.
Randy collects a couple of his favorites and then he passes the bag back to John.
John glances at Randy frequent. Randy looks cute when he places the stretchable candy between his teeth, and starts pulling it till it tore's apart.
Randy catches John in looking at him. John turns his head quickly and he blushes a bit.
The car suddenly stops.
"What?!" Randy says surprised: "What happened?"
"Don't know? Maybe we ran out of gas?"
"No! Oh my god! We will freeze to death in here!"
"But we have each other?"
"What?"
"You know, we can keep each other warm."
"I would rather die."
"Am I that disgusting?"
"Ohm… No? But… You're a man… My friend… It would be weird!"
"But what if it's our only choice, besides freezing to death."
"People will drive by here sooner or later."
"Actually I didn't notice any other cars? You know, when we still were on the road."
"You're right? What if this is that kind of place people never drives by?"
"Then we're screwed!"
They sit for a couple hours without saying anything to each other. John is surprised that they can keep the silence that long.
Randy starts to look a little uncomfortable.
"Is something wrong Randy?"
"No…"
"You're practically jumping up and down your seat."
"I have to piss! Really bad!"
"Then go out?"
"But it is cold outside?"
"If you wanna sit in your own piss, then go ahead, piss…"
Randy sends John an evil gaze…
Randy has to crawl out through the window. The biggest window is the one in the back. He cawls to the back seat and John does too.
"Okay, when I'm out then close the window… And then open it quickly when I get back. We need to keep the last warm in here."
John nods. Randy opens the window and jumps out quickly. John closes the window again.
He's sitting alone in the cars back seat.
Why is Randy always so angry? John didn't do anything to make him mad, did he? Yeah, he made a little fun with him, but it wasn't anything that could make him chronic mad, was it?
Randy knocks at the window.
"John your fat cow, open it!"
John does and Randy gets in and he shuts the window quickly. He is shaking.
"Come here," John says pulling Randy closer to him.
"Let go of me?" Randy says pulling himself back.
"I just wanna warm you up? Look, it's not like I'm gay or something," John didn't like to say that.
"Maybe not, but it's still weird."
"Come on Randy, you're freezing."
"So, I can warm myself up?"
John roles with his eyes and pulls Randy close to him.
Randy tries to get out of Johns firm grip, but John holds on tight.
They struggle for a couple of minutes, but then Randy gives in.
Randys heart is beating fast, this is to odd for him.
John caress his arms to get the warm back in them.
"Close your eyes Randy."
"Why?!"
"DO IT!"
"O… Okay?" Randy shuts his eyes.
They sit like that for a little while. Randy starts to enjoy being in Johns warm arms.
Randy can feel Johns heart is beating faster. He opens his eyes.
"Thanks…" he says quickly jumping out of John hold.
John gets a little disappointed, but what had he expected?
