Chapter four.

It was almost 2 pm .

When Luke set the bowls on the table, Bo had his head in his hands.
"Darlin', you want something for your headache?"
"Yeah, thanks." Bo replied without moving. When Luke got back with the pills, he saw that Bo had fallen asleep at the table. Luke shook his shoulder. "Bo?" Bo opened his eyes, looked at Luke than closed them. "Bo?"
"What?"
"Come on, I'll help ya to bed."
"Really dizzy Luke." Bo didn't move when Luke placed his hand on his forearm. "Bo?" Luke looked at him with concern. He never seen Bo act this way before. He had several concessions before, although they were never this severe before.
"Give me a minute, ok?" Luke sat on the chair next to Bo and waited. Several minutes went by than Bo opened his eyes. "Ok, I'm ready." He slowly stood up and waited for the room to stop spinning. With Luke's help, Bo only made it as far as the couch.
"Hold on," Bo replied as he sat down, "I'll sleep here." He laid down and closed his eyes. Before Luke could even object, he was sound asleep. Luke went to the bedroom and grabbed Bo's pillow, so Bo wouldn't have a sore neck when he woke. Several minutes later Luke heard a car pull up. He went to the window and saw a familiar yellow Mustang in the yard. Coy got out of the car and ran into the house. Luke opened the door for him and told Coy, "glad you could make it. Bo's asleep on the couch." Coy nodded.
"You can put your bag in our bedroom."
"Thanks." When Coy was putting his bag in the bedroom, Luke was looking out the kitchen window at the rain. When he heard Bo stir in the living room, he went to check on him. That's when the power went out.
"Hey Luke, where's the lantern?" Coy asked as he came out of the bedroom.
"Matches and lantern are on the porch." Luke made it to Bo and gently shook his shoulder. "Hey Bo." Bo opened his eyes looked at Luke, than turned to his side and went back to sleep.
"Just leave him." Replied Coy as he came back with the lantern. "If he's anything like me, it'e best you let him sleep."
"Suppose you're right." Luke stood up and went to sit at the kitchen table. Coy joined him there with a deck of cards. They talked about what they were up to since the last time they seen each other. Coy told him that Vance and his wife were expecting their first child. Coy was still helping their Uncle Albert on his farm, and Vance and his wife lived there while Coy lived up the road. He had bought 200 acres to farm himself. He had several beef cows, goats, and chickens. He also had a small vegetable garden. He rarely had to go to the store. Luke told him that Jesse put Bo's and his name on the deed to the farm. They used the reward money they got from capturing the men who kidnapped Boss Hogg to pay off the farm and all their debt. They also used the money to pay off Cooter's garage and Rhuebottom's store. They figured since Mr. Rhuebottom helped so many people out by giving them credit when hard times hit them, they would help him out. Luke than preceded to tell him all the plans that they had for the farm. The more they talked, the more Coy realized that there may be more to Bo and Luke's relationship than being cousins.
"Mind if I ask a personal question?"
"Nope."
"How long have you and Bo been together in a relationship?" Luke looked at him surprised, he hadn't expected that.
"What are you talking about Coy?"
"If you two weren't involved, ya would of punched me instead of asking me a question." Luke sighed and pushed his hair out of his eyes.
"It started when we was 13, it was on and off until I went to Vietnam. It got serious two weeks after I got home. We dated girls to keep our secret, we rarely date now. Besides we got so much work to do on the farm we don't go to the Boar's Nest everyday." Coy was smiling as Luke was telling his story.
"And I can't make a relationship last a year."
"This doesn't bother you?"
"Not in the least. Does anyone else know?"
"Only Cooter, you best keep it that way." Luke warned him.
"Don't worry, your secret is safe with me." Coy wasn't sure if he should ask the next question. "Uh Luke, have either one of you been with other men?"
"We're not like that, Coy. I mean, I'm not attracted to other men, it's just Bo. The same with Bo, it's just me, ya know?" Coy nodded. Just then the cb came to life.
"Bo peep to Lost sheep, come back."
"This is Lost sheep." Luke answered.
"Roads are blocked by fallen trees, we're staying the night."
"Alright. Coy's here, he made it before the storm hit. We'll see ya tomorrow."
"10-4, I'm gone." Coy and Luke continued to play cards. Around 6 pm Luke took out the fixings for sandwiches. He was debating on waking Bo, but Bo rolled over and ended up on the floor with a thud.
"Ow." Bo groaned as he fell off the couch. Luke made his way over to Bo who was now kneeling next to the couch.
"You ok?"
"Yeah." Bo looked around, "why you sitting in the dark?"
"Power's out." Bo nodded. "Coy's here, made it before the storm hit."
"Could you help me to the bathroom.?" Luke nodded and carefully helped Bo to his feet.
"You got him Luke?" Coy asked as Bo swayed alittle on his feet.
"Yeah, we're good." Luke helped Bo to the bathroom, than to the kitchen for a small snack. Bo was hungry, but he only ate some crackers because he was still nauseous. The rain was still coming down hard at this point. After Bo ate alittle, Luke helped him to bed. Several hours later, Coy went to sleep in Daisy's room while Luke went to sleep in his own.
