Sorry for the wait first version i wrote (which was better than this) got erased :'( One should note that both characters are around ten in this. I know it conflicts with how Vlad and Henry were best friends since they were eight but two seven year olds kissing will make me go to hell, so without further ado IT'S FLASHBACK TYMEEEE!
(p.s. folks, i own nothing besides a sweet vegetable garden)
The two boys had barely started to feel the prickle of the sun drying their skin when David peeped as he felt the first raindrop sting his skin. In a matter of seconds both boys were half-drenched again and hiding underneath a small metal awning that once covered a miniature vegetable garden.
They sat shivering in silence watching the rain pelt the half covered pool until David whispered, "Are you cold?"
Henry looked up at him and opened his mouth to speak but the only sound he emitted was the clack of chattering teeth. He loooked away when David started giggling and was about to mutter something offensive when his friend was suddenly very close and was wrapping the towel around both of them. Henry choked out "Wh-what the heck, Dave. Get off!" He was blushing.
"You don't wanna catch a cold, right? So we can share a towel." His face was buried against the other boy's shoulder.
"Yea-well, no. But, you don't just start hugging people,y'know? Especially boys."
David shifted and looked up at him, their noses ony inches apart "Why?"
"Because you only hug people you...like."
"like? like peope you wanna kiss and stuff?" His grip on Henry loosened a bit and he looked unsure.
"Yeah. I mean if someone saw you hug me they'd think- they'd think."
"That we kiss... and stuff?"
"Yeah."
They fell into an akward silence.
"But henry, I..." He pulled his arms away and the towel fell beside them. "I do like you. What's wrong with that?"
Suddenly Henry's well of wisdom dried up and he was left gaping like a fish. "What?"
"I said... Never mind!" He leapt up gathered his towel and shuffled off past the pool. The storm had mostly dissapated whie they'd spoken but he quickly vanished into the fine mist it had left behind.
Henry shook the last drops of moisture from his hair and sighed. His day had been super wierd and to top it off he was supposed to be home twenty minutes ago. His mom was gonna go on a spanking frenzy. He stood up, pulled on his still soaked t-shirt and grudgingly started for home.
Sorry so short i'm too mentally drained to replicate the original masterpeice.
Please review or i will go on a "spanking frenzy"
