Chapter Five: I Only Smile in the Dark
Dutchy stared at Specs in shock.
"Did...did I do something wrong?" he asked, insecurity rising in his voice.
"NO!" Specs shouted, furiously shaking his head. "No. I did. I'm wrong. I'm the bad one. Me. Bad...bad..." He hugged his knees to his chest. "Joseph said so. I'm bad." Dutchy's eyes widened as Specs drew himself in, putting up walls of fear and fierce childhood reprimands. Dutchy slid to the floor in front of the brunette, observing him cautiously.
"Specs? Specs, are you alright? Listen to me, ok?" Specs nodded, but the movement was so quick, Dutchy almost missed it. "You're not bad, ok? Liking boys doesn't make you bad, or wrong. It's who you are, alright?" Specs shook his head.
"Joseph said I was bad. He caught me and Bumlets...Dominic Bumlets..." Specs trailed off, biting his lip.
"Dominic...was your first boyfriend?" Dutchy guessed. Specs nodded. "And Joseph was..." he drew a blank.
"My foster father," Specs answered.
"He...caught you...and said that being gay was bad?" Dutchy prompted. Specs quivered.
"Very bad. That's what he said." Specs muscles tightened as he remembered his foster father's words. "Said I was...a...he...said..." Chocolate eyes were hidden under tightly-closed eyelids. Warm, salty tears slid down his face. Hurtful, dirty, words echoed in his mind from years ago.
"Specs? I want you to forget what Joseph told you. Do you know why?" Specs didn't answer. "Because he was wrong," Dutchy continued. "Way wrong. Love is love is love, no matter the details. Alright? If you love someone, you love them wholly for who they are, not because of their gender or looks." Specs sniffled.
Unexpectedly, the brunette threw himself into Dutchy's arms, hugging him tightly.
"Thank you," he sobbed, burying his face into the blonde's neck. Dutchy wrapped his arms around the quivering Specs.
"You don't have anything to thank me for. I didn't tell you anything that wasn't true." Chocolate brown eyes, watery yet beautiful, gazed into his own. They held a pleading tone, and Dutchy felt his breath catch in his throat. His heart raced, and he was sure Specs could feel it. Pressed together as they were, there wasn't much room to hide a racing pulse.
"Specs..." he managed.
"I know..." Specs said. "We...can't..." he started to pull away. Dutchy pulled him back, still breathing heavily.
"Don't. Don't say we can't, because we can. If we want to, we can."
"I..." Specs stammered.
"Do you...want this? ...Us?" Dutchy asked, biting his lip.
"Yes." It was whispered, and barely audible, but Dutchy heard it. "Yes," Specs said a bit louder. The brown eyes returned to his, and the same plead was in them. "Kiss me? Please?" Dutchy grinned widely, relieved and joyful.
"You don't have to ask me twice." Their lips met for the second time that night, but this time was more like a first. Lips explored lips, which soon progressed to tongues battling for dominance. They finally pulled apart, panting, and smiling at each other.
"I think...I can get used to this." Dutchy laughed softly, brushing his thumb across Specs' cheek.
"Me, too."
~End Chapter Five~
Woo~! The chapter's finished, after such a long delay. ^_^ Thanks to all who waited for it...(not so patiently.) This chapter is dedicated to Vinyl, who stayed up with me till 2:44 a.m. when I finished it. Oh, Vinyl: "Slow Karate" ROCKS. XD I love it.
Alright. Stage, in exchange for this chapter, I request a new chapter of "Seduzione". Vinyl, I want more of "Resident Sex God". I won't take no for an answer. Ann, I want more of your Swifty/Snoddy. Sphinx, more "Love is Everywhere". Khavi, can I have some more Blink/Mush? Please? And Neffie...more of your Mark/Ivan! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease.
Yes. These are my plugs. Deal with them. ^_^ ((For Vinyl: _o))
All right. No more ranting. I depart for the bed which calls me. Good night, all.
