Boys

On the following days, there was a kind of awkwardness between Dave and me. That was already expected, after that scene... He was still coming home as usual, because of Matt, of course... But I couldn't help noticing that from my brother's room, he kept looking outside all the time, as if searching for someone…
Matt told me he asked David to go with him to this new night club in town on saturday, after all, they were both single and it had been a while since they last went out together. On Saturday night, Dave came home to meet Matt, and I opened the door wearing my pajamas, with wet hair and holding a hot chocolate. He looked at me in shock.

"You are not ready?"

"Yes I am… ready to go watch a movie, it's about to start…"

"But... you mean that... you're not going?"

His pity face was almost too much for me to handle. The three of us always used to hang out together...

"No, Bro... I don't feel like going out today, and besides, I have to wake up early tomorrow, I have a shooting in the morning."

"Oh... but I was hoping that-"

In this very moment, Matt burst into the room and interrupted what he was saying...

"DAVE! It was about time, are you getting married or something? Come on, there'll be a lot of chicks for us, specially with you there!"

And he dragged David out.

The next day, Matt told me he was rigt. Half of the girls there were all over them. He said he had made out with four of them, but David rejected them all… "He is such a fag!"
I couldn't suppress a smile...

They continued to go out almost 3 times a week, and they just didn't go out more because of David's busy schedule. He always asked me to go with them, but I always made up an excuse not to go. Actually, I didn't wanna see things that I knew would make me miserable. The hard part was to deal with Matt's hangover the next day, and sometimes David's too, since heslept over sometimes.

On a Saturday, I took advantage of the fact that they were going out and so were my parents, to invite some girlfriends over for a little reunion. It was very amusing, we talked and laughed a lot, and had a lot of drinks too, specially including vodka. But I didn't get totally drunk, just a little happier than usual...
When the girls left, it was almost dawn, and 5 minutes later Matt and Dave arrived. They were completely drunk. Matt could barely stand, I took him to his room and put him on his bed. Sometimes I don't know who's the older sibling...

When I went back to the living room, Dave was sitting on the couch, staring at the TV, which was turned off. When he saw me, he started laughing stupidly at me. I took him to the bathroom so he could take a shower, to get a little better. I put him under the shower with his clothes on and everything, and I remained near him, I was afraid he was gonna drown… I got a little wet, after all, I was not the most sober person in the world too… He staggered on the wet floor, and fell towards me, I had to grab the shower box so I didn't fall. I got even wetter. We stared at each other for a moment, in that awkward situation, and then, he kissed me. I felt as if every part of my body was getting dry and wetter at the same time. He then interrupted the kiss, turned off the shower and said:

"Matt is not interrupting this time."

He pulled me by the arm, and we started walking through the house, leaving a trail of water behind us. We got into the garage, which was full of junk. The only light was the one coming through the window. I could only see David staring at me. I could see every drop of water and sweat that was rolling down his face...
