To recap: My brother and I, along with Anderson and Kellan, were standing shirtless on the stage of a gay bar in West Hollywood, California 90069, and being held hostage by the chief drag queen named Rusty Tetas. We were going to compete for the audience and my brother was pumped.
One of the waiters brought up a tray with four shots of something golden.
"Tequila! Yes!" Tenley grabbed two since he wasn't letting me drink.
Anderson downed the third shot, and Kellan grabbed the fourth one. He waited for Tenley to finish his first two shots, and then put the fourth one to Tenley's lips. He drank all three then raised the empty glasses to show the crowd.
The crowd was cheering like crazy for him. There were more shouts for him to strip. Rusty wheeled out a cart to one side of the stage and another queen rolled out a twin cart to the other side.
"On this side, we have two giant bowls of cream puffs. On the other side we have empty bowls, one for each team. Your job is to get the cream puffs from one side of the stage to the empty bowl on the other side using only, ONLY your mouths. Player one will bite a puff, carry it, and deliver it to player two's mouth. Player two will deliver that puff into the bowl. The first team to get 20 puffs into their bowl will win a crotch full of tips from our generous audience!" Rusty explained the rules.
"Let's do this!" Tenley raised his fists like a champion. He loved any physical competition especially one with an audience involved.
"Oh, and one more thing. You have to suck all the cream out of the puff before it gets into the bowl. That means player two will have to finish whatever cream player one does not. If puffs are not empty, they do not count." Rusty was hardcore with the rules.
"We got this! My boy loves cream!" Tenley pulled Kellan under his arm and hugged him happily. His chest was puffing out with beast mode energy. Kellan kissed his cheek and snuggled in under his hold.
We got into positions as Rusty directed. Another drag queen played a shotgun sound using her cell phone and a microphone. We were off.
I went for the first puff, but didn't think to roll it to the cream filling side. I tried to turn it in my mouth which just made me drop it. I cursed and ran back to the bowl.
This time I bit it cream side first and sucked it all out before I got to Anderson. He took the puff to the bowl and dropped it. I looked over to see Kellan delivering the second puff to his bowl while Tenley jumped up and down cheering him on.
"Yeah baby! Suck it for daddy! Get it, boy!" Tenley praised him. The crowd was loving this. Tenley was wasted and living his best life. For all he cared, this was as good as Friday Night Football back in high school.
I'd like to say the rest of the game went better, but it didn't. Tenley and Kellan were in beast mode while Anderson and I kept stopping to do silly stuff like lick cream off each other's chin.
At one point we even dropped a puff and then kissed for a second which earned us adoring noises from the crowd. I think neither of us wanted this win and we definitely didn't want strangers shoving cash into the front of our pants. We weren't in it to win it.
I felt so awkward up there, but slowly a feeling of pure happy seeped into me as it hit me that my brother knew I liked someone, and that someone was a boy, and my brother was concerned, but not grossed out. He might be somewhat racist, but he wasn't homphobic. It was kind of cool having a brother who would happily make an ass of himself at a gay bar just to spend time with me. I didn't expect that from him.
I got lost in my happiness and slipped on the cream puff I'd dropped earlier. I landed flat on my ass then scooted over to Anderson who leaned down to take the puff from my mouth.
