“Well it’s true! I walked in on him watching some pretty freaky gay porn”, Brittany repeated herself loudly. “I thought he was just joking and pulling my leg when he told me he was gay.”
Damien paid the bill then rushed out of there with Felix. Leaving Erin giving Brittany a look and Brittany smiled innocently.
Brody cursed under his breath as the ditzy girl was telling a story about how she walked in on her brother jacking to guy on guy porn. He watched him snatch up Felix and rush out of there. He finished off his salad and paid for his meal and quickly left but couldn’t see them, he went off in the direction they went but he had lost him. Damien must have been hauling ass.
Felix understood Damien’s embarrassment the way everyone was staring at them but in his own opinion every guy had been walked in on or something just as embarrassing at one point or another.
Damien yanked Felix into the public library after dragging him down the sidewalk for a long while. They climbed up to the second level of the library and sat at one of the tables. Both boys were breathing hard.
Erin sighed and sat where Felix was sitting. The spot was still warm, hot almost from the body heat that had soaked into the chair. Brittany sat where her brother was sitting and looked out the window. Brittany pointed and laughed as a young woman
The frightened driver of the first car hit the gas to pull away; Emily’s intestines fell out onto the street, some of it hooked to the back of the first car. She was bleeding to death fast and being dragged across the road.
The first car made it through the intersection another car passed by behind it running over Emily. 3 more cars thinking the body in the road is just trash in the road ran over her more. As if this incident couldn’t get any worse a stray dog with his ribs poking through his flesh trotted into the road and scooped up some of the woman’s flesh and walked away. In the background you could hear a homeless man or 2 crackle and laugh.
Erin and Brittany slowly turned back to one another with their mouths open, gawking at each other about what they just saw, their eyes huge. Neither one knew what to say to the other. They just gathered their bags and left.
Brody half the incident then shrugged it off and moved on. Since that’s what people do. They get over it and move on. He was more concerned with finding Felix and Damien then about the foolish woman’s mistake to stand behind a car or not be more aware that she should gather and catch her skirt before closing the door of a car.
He lurked up and down blocks taking turns and looked through windows and couldn’t find them. Brody wasn’t about to ask if anyone had seen the two. He decided to double back and ‘accidently wander’ by both Felix’s homes and tries and sees where his car might be parked at.
Brody gave up on that idea shortly when he passed by a Mini Cooper fitting the description of Felix’s car then checked the license plate on it sitting by a meter. He didn’t believe it was creepy that he knew Felix’s license plate or that when he saw the boy’s car in the school’s parking lot that he’d occasionally take a peek inside to see what he was packing. It was kind of like his way of getting to know someone. Though he knew his sister and a few other people would say other wise.
Felix leaned back in his seat and looked up at the ceiling of the library. The ceiling was a skylight. The bronze skin boy stared at the sky in a daze for a moment till Damien poked gently on the back of his hand.
“You were drifting off there”, Damien smiled playfully.
“Sorry. I just like looking at the sky when the clouds are shaped like that. You know sometimes when the sunsets just right and it’s kind of cloudy out the sky looks like it’s painted. Kind of cool looking. It makes me wish I could like paint my ceiling or wall like that”, Felix cooed as he looked at Damien for a while, watching him, then looked back up at the sky.
Damien looked at Felix as if he was high or something then just smiled at him and scooped both his hands off the table top and into his. He gently petted the back of Felix’s hands with his thumbs studying the other boy’s hands.
“What are you doing”, Felix mumbled giving him a soft look as he slowly looked around, a light blush set on his cheeks as he gently bit his pink bottom lip.
“Can’t I hold my boyfriend’s hand”, Damien asked then grinned when Felix gave a slight jump and looked down at their hands his face darkening in a blush. He curiously and quietly wondered what the other male was embarrassed about. Was he possibly uncomfortable displaying his sexual preferences out in public? Or maybe it was just easy to make him blush. He had once watched in the distance as Erin made Felix blush a deeper shade very 5 minutes their freshman year.
Damien thought it was quite cute. Though he wondered if Felix would break out his shell, he did display that he could be bold sometimes but that brought up another question on what has to take place on him to be bold.
Felix nudged Damien in the leg with his foot when he noticed he wasn’t just looking at him he was staring at him. He was starting to get uncomfortable from the attention. It was like when people first meet him they openly gawk at his blue eye. After a while you get over it and get use to the fact that he was just unique. Though Felix still hated it, it made him feel like a freak show or like something was wrong with his appearance on that day. For example: an embarrassing little something hanging out of your nose.
Andrew kept calling his big brother and eventually he picked up and the younger boy informed Felix that he had to come home and ‘watch’ him because their parents, NiniAnna and Ester, had went off to work and do other tasks.
Felix sighed and shoved his phone in his pocket and looked sadly at Damien, “I kind of have to cut this short. My little brother is home alone and all so I have to go watch him and make sure he doesn’t get into something that’ll get us both in trouble.”
“Oh…well I can keep you company while you watch him if you want? How old is the kid?”
“7”
“Is he a brat”, Damien questioned, never knowing Felix had a younger sibling.
“When he’s not embarrassing me he isn’t. I also have an older cousin named Alba; he’s a bit of a whore. He’s probably at work or still at someone he hooked up with last night at their house still”, Felix explained as he stood and pushed his chair in under the table, Damien following his lead.
“Yeah I know how that can be”, Damien rubbed the back of his neck remembering countless times where Brittany has embarrassed him.
Damien followed Felix out the library and down the street in search of his car. He was busy wondering where he heard the name Alba. It was vaguely familiar but it wouldn’t come to him.
It was a pretty long drive from the city to the decent size house Felix shared with his cousin and mother. Most of the time his mom and Andrew were over at NiniAnna’s huge house, which was bigger than his dad’s house, so it during most weeks it’d just be Alba and Felix pacing back and forth. Occasionally Felix might get a glimpse of who ever Alba had slept with the previous night leave his room or Felix would wake up to an empty house. Though it’s not like him and Alba talked much, the occasional grunt maybe some teasing remark made by Alba or a question from Felix. Nothing major at all, in actuality it was kind of sad in a way.
Alba was sitting in the kitchen shirtless eating a peanut butter sandwich and a glass of milk. He yawned again, just now waking up to an almost empty house. Andrew was in the living room watching T.V. and being quiet. He was impatiently waiting for Felix to come home so he could shower and go to work. Alba looked at the back door and smiled tiredly as he saw Felix come inside along with a familiar face.
Felix carefully parked next to Alba’s big red monstrous SUV. He use to drive a shabby, dented up, putt putt of a car until Estephania
Thinking back on those times kind of made Felix sad, costing so much money just because he wasn’t born normal, even though he tried his best to be a normal kid and not some weak cripple still didn’t mean things cost less for his family to manage him, his pain killers use to put a large dent in his mother’s pay check and she battled NiniAnna long and hard but finally she gave in and let her pay for some things.
Felix led Damien in through the back entrance into the kitchen. He just bobbed his head to greet his cousin.
“Andy is watching TV I would have watched him and let you….play a little longer and be out and about but I have to work”, Alba looked Damien over. He almost didn’t recognize the boy clinging to his cousin’s hand. He was busy staring at the fact that they were holding hands.
Damien’s eyes got huge when he saw the male sitting in Felix’s kitchen. Now he knew why the name sounded so familiar. He had slept with his crush’s cousin without even realizing it! While he was still gawking at Alba he tried to remember how and where it all went down.
Comparing Alba and Felix was like breaking the laws of physics. Felix was so adorable, beyond explanation. Kind of like a kitten or a child like angel he was sweet, innocent, and unbelievably adorable. Alba on the other hand was drop dead model hot. He had fierce and fiery appearance and personality that he used to get him laid over and over again. It’s just plain impossible to compare the two cousins.
For some reason Damien was more attracted to Felix. His brain will still trying to process the fact that he fucked up big time by sleeping around to even wonder why he liked Felix more than Alba though he knew Felix more than he did Alba he still barely knew his new boyfriend.
“Oh um Damien this is my cousin Alba and Alba this is my”, Felix paused and blushed causing the other two boys to smile at the adorable reaction, “Boyfriend Damien.”
Alba gave Damien a flirtatious smile and stood up to shake Damien’s hand. Damien thought it’d be rude to not shake his hand. Alba leaned into Damien as they shook hands, grinning in his ear as he whispered, “We’ve met before, and this won’t be the last time we’ll see each other.”
Swallowing hard Damien’s eyes flicked over to Felix knowing he was standing close enough to hear all that. Lucky for him Felix had wandered off to go check on Andrew making sure he hadn’t died since Alba really wasn’t watching him closely.
Alba pulled away from Damien smirking but didn’t leave without giving him a little grope. Damien yelped and his face heated, satisfied by this reaction Alba sauntered out the kitchen and up the stairs to his bedroom to get ready for work. In his mind he was going to have a lot of fun torturing Damien. Though he’d have to be careful, even though Felix was shy and had kitten like qualities sometimes if you push him too much it’s like facing and angry black panther.
Damien wandered around the corner to find Felix. He was sitting next to Andrew on the couch petting the little boy’s hair and smiling as they eyed the T.V. and talked quietly in Spanish. Felix glanced over his shoulder at Damien when he felt the other boy staring at the back of his head and waved him over.
“Andrew this is Damien. Damien this is my little brother Andrew”, Felix petted the little boy’s hair, not ruffling it since he himself hated when people do that. Usually takes him several minutes of him brushing his wet hair to ensure that it won’t stick up half way through the day. “I’m going to leave you two alone for a moment. Don’t kill each other, I’ll be right back!” Felix hopped up off the couch and scurried off.
Damien tried to casually sit next to Andrew who was curiously watching his every move. Both boys wanted to question the other, Andrew took the first step though. Andrew’s little kid curiosity bottling up inside and then bubbling up and out of his lips.
“Do you love my brother?”
“Not yet”, Damien half laughed nervously.
“So you like playing with other boy’s thingies?”
“Um…so um I hear you have two moms”, Damien said looking around the small living room and seeing a small lovely looking Hispanic woman standing next to a tall woman wearing a corset with orange hair highlighted with cinnamon brown cut short around her shoulders.
“Yeah they love each other”, Andrew nodded.
“Is it hard? I mean do kids tease you because you have two moms”, Damien blurted out the question he’s been dying to ask.
Andrew shrugged, “Not all that much. I mean it is 2009! I do think it’s kind of weird that I and Alba are the only ones that like people opposites of us….though sometimes he does bring home boyfriends for the night.”
Is that what he calls them? Boyfriends for the night, Damien thought that was a little odd. But if it made sense to the little kid that’s probably that’s all that matters so that there’s no more curious questions asked.
“Are you going to spend the night and play big boy games with Felix”, Andrew asked curiously as he stared up at Damien who just blushed and kind of gawked at him.
The older male looked around idly, wishing Felix would hurry up and come back. Between Felix’s older cousin making passes at him and his little brother asking explicit questions it looked like he just couldn’t win. He was happy when the commercials went off and Andrew practically forgot Damien was sitting there. It gave him a chance to think about how he should tell Felix he slept with Alba, if he should at all, and fight Alba off.
What’s a guy to do?
