Virgil Hawkins and Richie Foley sat on a worn down couch, in a old, abandoned gas station watching a small television. A Latina lady with shoulder length brown hair was speaking. As she was speaking a blond, young man and a brunette young man with glasses -both in orange jumpsuits- were being led from a police car into a jail house. There was also an elderly man with graying hair who looked like he was half mad.
"After days without our superheroes, Static and Gear." She was saying, "we have discovered it was all an elaborate ruse by these three men you see behind me now. The men, who we previously believed to be Static and Gear were discovered to be college students that had been called to be interns at an institution that is no longer running. Although these young men were not the superheroes our city has come to depend one, we should all pause and take a moment of silence for the loss of these families."
There was thirty seconds of silence, then the television clicked off.
"So, Rich." Virgil said turning to his blond friend who was sitting to the left of him on the old couch. "There's something I kinda wanted to tell you."
"I wanted to tell you something too." Richie chuckled. " But you can go first."
"No, you can if you want." Virgil said nervously.
" No, you started, so you go first." Richie protested.
"Well, I was thinking, in light of recent circumstances and all and how short our lives might be given our line of work," Virgil talked quickly as if he talked fast enough what he was saying would be less awkward. "I was thinking, would you, well…" he took a deep breath, "want to, you know be to-"
Richie cut him off with a kiss. As soon as he pulled away he said "I'm so glad you said that first, 'cause I couldn't think of any good way to say it." He ended with a big smile.
"So that's a yes?" Virgil asked already knowing the answer.
"That's a yes." Richie replied once again pushing his lips to his new boyfriends.
