Chapter Twenty-Nine: Making An Ass Out Of U And Me

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Going into this, Weylon knew it was just about the sex. Richie was at the age that he was too lonely without a proper partner, so casual sex with a familiar face eased his ache. That was the fine, there didn't need to be anything else. Having assumed feelings were not involved made learning to turn tricks so much easier.

And, maybe, at first, that had been all the Sniper had wanted. Weylon showed off his scrawny ass all the time, he was loud and irritating, sure, but spread out, elevated and covered in hickeys, well, he looked pretty perfect. Even Richie was convinced that he didn't feel anything for the boy, he couldn't, he was so damn young.

The only problem was that both men's assumptions eventually were wrong.

Feelings had been involved from the start, even if neither of them knew it. And the scout realized it a bit too late. Holding Richie's hand, he sighed. It was so odd to see the other covered in patches and tubes and wires… Weylon was allowed some time with him before the plug was pulled, and it took everything in him not to cry as he spoke.

"Richie, man, I… I'm so sorry. This whole thing is my fault. If I wasn't so damn stupid-" The nurse came in, seemingly deaf to his babble, and began to take the Australian off of life spent so long yelling at her to stop that he missed his lover's (it was so late for that word) last breath. Tears streaming down his cheeks, he whispered to the limp hand he still held, "I love you, Richie."
