"Uh...guys we've got something to tell you." Everyone turned to look at them. Stan reached out and grabbed Bill's hand.
"Oh my god! It's happening!" Bev squealed, looking down at their joined hands. Stan rolled his eyes then continued.
"We, um... we're dating!?" He said with his eyes closed. When he'd finished he reopened his eyes to look at his friends, who all had smiles on their faces. Richie is the first to speak up.
"So have you guys ever had sex or something?!" He said with a stupid smile on his face. Eddie who is sitting next to him, slaps him round the back of the head. "Ow! I was just asking!" Now it's Bill's turn to roll his eyes.
"My children are finally growing up!" Bev began. She then stands up and hugs both of them, "No but seriously, I'm happy for you!" She pauses then quietly says, "Now onto the next..." Bev looks over at Richie and Eddie. Eddie see's that she is eyeing them and flips her off, Richie's to busy cleaning his glasses to notice.
"Anyways, completely changing the subject, what are we going to do about food?" Mike pipes up.
"That is a good point well made Michael." Richie says in his take of a posh British accent.
Eddie looks up at Richie, "That was probably the most shitty British accent I've ever heard."
"Oh you loved it really." Richie replied, wrapping an arm around Eddie's shoulders.
"Anyway..." Bev drags the word out, "I'll go see if there is anything in the fridge." She stands up walks out the room. Ben stands up as well and follows her.
A few minutes later they come back out carrying two packs of chipolatas and two packs of burgers.
"These were just in the fridge. And they're not even out of date. Seems like they were bought a few days ago." Ben states.
"There's a fire pit out in the yard. So let's cook them on there." Bev says walking to the back door and opening it. She turns round to see if the others were following.
"Are you guys coming or not?" She goes out the door then comes back in. "Would be a good idea of we had a pan or something. You know, to cook them!"
Mike stands up, "I'll go and have a look in the cupboards"
"Great okay. Everyone else grab your coats and blankets if you want them. Bearing in mind that it will get colder, as the night goes on." Bev told them as Mike went to find a pan.
The others ran to their rooms to grab what they needed. They came back with a coat and blanket each. In each room, on each bed, there was a fluffy blanket so they just took them. Ben had got Mike's stuff for him since he was busy.
10 minutes later everyone was sitting on the logs surrounding the fire. The sausages and burgers were sizzling away on a pan above the flame, Mike would turn them over every now and then.
Bill and Stan were sitting, cuddled on a log with a blue fluffy blanket draped over them both. Ben, Mike and Bev were sitting on a log together, a blanket hung from each of their shoulders. And Richie and Eddie were also sharing a blanket but it was only because Richie pleaded Eddie to share with him. They weren't cuddling, as such, but their shoulders and legs were touching. Neither of them moved because they both enjoyed the feeling of butterflies in their stomachs.
When the meat was cooked, they sat in silence as they devoured their food. Stan had found a couple of packets of hot dog rolls and burger buns that they ate as well instead of eating the meat by itself.
Bev had suggested they played Truth or Dare since they had nothing else do to. It was night time so they only had the flickering light of the fire to see each other. Everyone agreed to play and Bev suggested that Bill should go first.
"Bill, truth or dare?" She asked smiling.
"D-dare." Bev thinks for a second then says;
"Kiss Stan... on the lips!" She grinned seeing their shocked faces.
"O-ok t-then...um." Bill turned to face his boyfriend. They'd kissed once or twice before but that was in the safety of Bill's bedroom. "We d-don't have t-to. I-I m-mean it's o-only a game." Stan's hand found its way to Bill's cheek, on the side that the others couldn't see, and he smiled at him. With their faces already being the a few inches apart, Bill leaned forward and pressed his lips to Stan's.
The others start whooping and cheering. Stan smiles against Bill's lips. They pull away from the kiss after a few more seconds.
"There. Is that good enough for you?" Stan said wrapping his arm around Bill's waist and resting his head on his shoulder.
"You guys are the cutest gay couple I've ever seen!" exclaimed Bev. Richie gazed over at Eddie and they locked eye contact. Eddie suddenly looked down at his fingers, a blush spread across his face.
They played a few more rounds but nothing special happened. Eventually everyone decided that it was late and they should go up to bed.
