Happy Moments of a Real Dream pt.1

The afternoon came quickly during the vast exhaustion of the heat that drew itself across the land. The final lesson of the day was being taught and memorized by the obedient class. Dustin found himself flopping over as today's lesson was being dismissed. He lightly closed his eyes together and basked in the warmth of the transformation between a yellow bright sun to a dim orange light. He took in deep breaths and imagined his inner sanctuary. Lying atop of a grassy cliff, looking over a shimmering ocean and sparkling sand. By his face, two flowers astir in the cooling wind. Soft clouds hovering above him. It was his dream place. But there was also something else he dreamed of. A tall blonde friend to be with. He tried combining the two things together. He imagined him running up to him, laying down next to him, side by side. Brushing his hair away from his face and soft touches down into his hands. Intertwining fingers, he scoots closer to him until they are together. His gaze looking at him, wanting only one thing. He knew what he wanted. He leaned up to meet close to his lips. His desire running through his body, he imitated the action in reality. He pursed his lips slightly, thinking and hoping to taste the sensation.

Hunter walked over to Dustin and saw his relaxing state. He hovered over Dustin and saw his pursed lips. He leaned down to bring his own ones to his.

Unfortunately, "Hey." Dustin was removed from his utopia into an almost parallel world, his eyes met up to Hunter, until later found that three's a crowd. He turned over to see Shane waving over.

"Um, am I interrupting something?" The two quickly got up to their feet and acted as if nothing happened, a pure state of normality.

"No, nothing. What's up?"

"Tori and I were making plans to go down to the coast this weekend. You guys in? We even got Cam to come with us too and you know how rarely that is."The three shared a laugh in agreement.

"Alright, I'm in, it'll be fun. How bout it?" Hunter looked at him and nodded in a positive manner.

"There is one other thing. The house is a four bedroom, so someone has to share a room." This caused the two to look at each other, thinking the same thought.

"Do you two want to take it? Its a double bed so you won't need to get too close."

"Uh, we'll wait and see." Hunter protested with anxiousness in his tone. He did want to get close to him, but with all those people around, he became shy to be open and loving. He wasn't known to be like that. Except when he's around Dustin because he was comfortable to be himself. Suddenly a small surge passed through his head. He couldn't identify it, but it drew himself over to Dustin. He saw a smile crawl across his face. He always identified him as cute, but the passing surge made him see a different side. Something...cuter. A blush came but he was tough enough to fight it off.

"All right, well pack up tonight. We'll be coming around near night time and we'll be there hopefully before midnight." The two agreed to the conditions and Hunter was swinging over to Dustin's before their departure.

Hunter came home and quickly zipped open a travel bag and stuffed all kinds of clothes and necessary materials into it. A flashback came back to him about the impulse that shook his whole world down. He fell down onto the bed, raised his hands over his eyes. He tried to decipher the message behind the whole headache...and heartache he has been having. His body was heating up, sweaty palms were evident and rapid repetition of his heart at the same pace. He thought back to the first thoughts...that were of Dustin. He thought of a rough recollection of the great times they had. He identified every special feature of Dustin that he took awareness of. His smile, his face, his air headed personality that he loved so much. Then something else came to his mind. His body, his movements. Then he lifted his view to a deeper connection. His cute blushing, clumsiness and embarrassments. Was he...liking Dustin? Or maybe he just like him as a friend. Did he like him the same way? His imagination became wild, thinking of how he wanted to touch the guy's lips...with his own. Reels of questions ran through his mind but none could be answered with any clarity.

The sun fell significantly and Hunter grabbed his bag and made his way to Dustin's house while salvaging whatever sunlight was visible in the sky.

He rang the doorbell and waited patiently by his doorstep. His thoughts bothered him too immensely, his train of thought kept on derailing constantly. It all lead the same path to Dustin. Before Dustin got the chance to be greeted by Hunter, the others were already waiting and yelling out them to get a move on. The four waited excruciatingly irritated, as the half hour count passed through their minds. Hunter couldn't help but to think what was keeping him up. The curiosity was eating away at him, he offered to go check up to him.

He rang the doorbell again and saw that the doorknob was loose. He opened and entered, hoping it was all well. He called his name repeatedly and each had no response. He was getting worried. He wandered upstairs and entered his bedroom. His packed bag laying against the wall and a squirming creature laid in his bed. He turned on his bedside lamp and saw a sleeping Dustin. He showed an adorable face but changed quickly as his face showed a worried and irritated expression. He became sympathetic and drew Dustin up to his shoulder. He finally opened his eyes and looked up into the sea of blue in Hunter's eyes.

"Oh, Hunter you're here. Sorry I fell asleep because I was so excited to be going, I couldn't wait." The lame story was cheap but it was a Dustin excuse that made it bought by Hunter.

"It's okay. We were all worried. We waited for over half an hour. I rang and Tori honked. You know you are a very heavy sleeper." They chuckled with each other in relief. He couldn't help thinking what kind of nightmare he would have been having to cause his to struggle under his sheets. He knew thinking about it wouldn't help so he just focused on the positives and blocked out his distortions. He helped Dustin out of bed, carried his bag and made their way out to the van. Once all the loose ends were tied up, they made their way directly to the beach.

Nearly half way out of town, at the time where stomaches began to growl, they made a quick break at a very small and cozy restaurant. It didn't seem to be huge at first but looks were deceiving. It had a cheery vibe and made it easy to be comfortable with. They sat at a table suitable for the five of them and skimmed through the menu's as some of them were already panting like dogs at the sight of the snacks.

With their orders given and the spare time ticking, they all decided to take a view of their surroundings. There was a pinball machine that Shane took the time to take a shot at, Cam was playing on his laptop, and Tori took a swig of gum and chewed constantly with the bubble here and there. Dustin was gazing at the outside view, he got up and stood outside. Hunter took notice a few minutes later and followed him out in the darkness. Dustin and Hunter's bushel of hair was fluttering in the night gale. Dustin was deep in thought and Hunter was keeping his feelings deep in his chest. The silence broke as Hunter tried to stir up a conversation.

"So uh..Dustin." He didn't turn to see him, still lost in his mind.

"Are you okay Dustin?" Hunter's voice took a worried tone but was reassured as his smile was returned as a response.

"Yeah, I'm okay."

"You seem kinda lost."

"I'm fine Hunter. Nothing to worry about."

"Well if you're sure. But I can't help but to worry about you."

"I told you I'm fine. What else do you want."

"I want you to be open to me. You know I'm always here for you." He moved over and wrapped his arms around him, supporting his body with his own heat. A look of guilt fell on his face but could not be seen by Hunter.

"There is one thing I want to ask you. When I was trying to wake you up, you seemed irritated by something."

"Oh well, it's nothing. Just a nightmare."

"Mind telling me about it?" He shook his head negatively.

"But you can be open to me about it. Come on Dustin." He lowered his head until cheeks were side by side. A blush flew across his face, then faded as more guilt came and came. Soon he erupted from it as he admitted.

"I had a nightmare...that you wouldn't be with me. That you would be gone."

"What?" Hunter loosened himself a little in the case to Dustin's repelling to be based on two continents.

"It's nothing. Just a stupid dream."

"Well if your worried about that, then you don't know me at all."

"How would I know you would still be around? Circumstances change, Hunter." He became defensive but vulnerable.

"Look Dustin, I will always be here for you."

"I know you will and I hope we'll be together but," He paused before continuing on, "I just feel like we'll never get anywhere."

"What do you mean?" His heart beated rapidly as the other boy's became torn out and broken down.

"Hunter, I know we haven't known each other long but I feel we get together well. You said we should be friends and if we are, I am happy beyond any of my emotions." He was interrupted by a reassuring comment.

"But we are friends. I wanted us to be friends."

"Yes, but," He stammered and weakened harshly. Tears shed from the bottom of his eye and he broke down and brought his strength out to say it. "I don't want to risk it. I'm sorry." Rivers of tears broke out as he ran back into the restaurant. Hunter didn't bother to go after him. He felt a same pain but different source of ache in his heart. He broke down on the inside and shed a sad face. He trodded back into the restaurant and sat down with his head between his arms.

After their meals had met their satisfaction, they continued to travel down to the beach. Tori, Shane and Cam sat in the front, while Hunter and Dustin chose to sit in the back. It was awkward. The two best friends were quiet to each other. Dustin thought Hunter would be mad and start swarming him with questions. Hunter thought Dustin would change his mind and tell him what was wrong. A few times, the two took glances at the other but were both too upset to do anything. Shadows of light bounced off one to the other as they passed through the window. They just fixated their gaze to the natural surroundings and thought to themselves.

"Okay guys, it's going to be bumpy so hold on," Tori warned them as the bumpy rocks shook the whole van down. Without notice, the two eliminated a small distance that separated them. Soon they arrive over deep crevasses and it seems to rock the whole van down. They were close to each other but neither made a move, whether being closer or further. A final collision course brought the two close together.

"Sorry guys it was hard to avoid it." The two sat back up and gazed at each other. Hunter brought Dustin closer to him. He was tired of it all and tried to bring them together. He couldn't live with the separation, even though it was only hours that flew by. Dustin was getting tired too, but only tired of thinking of it. He did mean what he said. He laid his head down onto his shoulder and took a small doze before falling deep into his sleep.

–

The van stopped and parked near a small meadow before the rocky cliff that lead to the beach. Everyone grabbed the bags while Hunter was occupied with the sleeping desire in his arms. They walked a distance before reaching their destination. Shane opened the door and inside, it was pretty huge. Hunter took Dustin over to the biggest bedroom, where the double bed was located, and rested him down onto the bed. He undressed him down to a comfortable level that he could sleep in. He brought the two bags into the corner of the room and also dressed down into his boxers. He covered the two of them in the soft blankets and rested down, looking at Dustin's face. It was desirable but it was off-limits. His words crowded his lust and could feel him being drifted away from him. A tear was powerful enough to shed from Hunter.

He relaxed and lost all thought and fell into the same slumber as the boy next to him. He hoped it would end by tomorrow.
