Contacting Space

Chapter 13

The bush stopped burning and Jasper sat on the ground dumbfounded. 'Did that- was he-' Jasper thought to himself. 'So, I'm gay, but straight. And God just told me, and oh my gosh I just met God.' Jasper walked back to Dan who was still on the ground. "I'm gay."
"What?"
"I'm gay, and straight. God just told me."
"Wait wait wait. God, told you, that you are gay?"
"Yes."
"When did he tell you this?"
"When I was behind that bush."
"Are you feeling alright? Do you need a break?"
"No, I had a vision."
"Ok, whatever you say." Dan said giving a confused look Jasper. They continued to dig holes putting a seed into them then covering them over with dirt.

When they finished planting the seeds they grouped up again. "I'm gay." Jasper said.
"He keeps saying this. I don't know why." Dan said with his eyebrows furrowed.
"Maybe he's finally coming to his senses." Wendy expressed happily. "I bet he finally realized that I was right saying he's gay."
"No, God told me. He told me that he created me the way I am. Gay."
"Is he alright?" Eli said to Mr.Moor.
Mr.Moor started commanding Jasper to do certain tasks. "Walk in a straight line. What is 3+9? Do you have a headache?" Jasper completed all of the tasks that Mr.Moor made him do, not showing that anything could be wrong with him.
"Maybe he truly is just gay, and he's finally accepted it." Finn concluded.
"That's reasonable, but it's confusing when just last night he continued saying he is straight." Michelle said. They all agreed with her as they walked back to the bus for lunch.

After grabbing his portion of lunch Jasper sat down next to Dan, making sure that their bodies were pressed up against each other. He wrapped his arm around him pulling Dan closer in. He whispered "I think I like you." into Dan's ear.
"What?" Dan whispered back.
"I think your cute, and I might have feelings for you." Dan blushed as Jasper whispered into his ear. Jasper pushed his hand through Dan's hair messing it up. "Do you wanna kiss?"
"Right now?" Dan said.
"Yes."
"Is this a joke?"
"No. I wanna go outside the bus right now, with you. And I want to kiss you. And so much more, but it's too soon."
"I don't know."
"Well, we're in the middle of an alien invasion. We might never be able to do something's in your lives unless if we do them with each other."
"Let me finish my lunch first." Dan said with only a few bites left. "Then I'll tell you my decision." He continues putting food into his mouth with Jasper staring at him. Jasper watches as the food slowly decreases in size awaiting for the moment that it's all gone
"You ready now." He said, seeing that the food had disappeared.
"Deal." Dan said.
"We're gonna go outside for a little bit of fresh air so don't bother us please."
"We won't." Wendy said. "Have fun." She made a kissy face towards the two boys.
"What was that face about?" Jessica asked.
"Did you not hear them? They're going outside to kiss."
"How do you know?" Said Finn.
"I heard Jasper ask Dan. Come here and look." She motioned for them to come over, pointing to the two boys outside.
Outside the bus Jasper began to wrap his hands around Dan's waist. "You sure you want to do this?" He asked.
"I'm as ready as someone could be." Dan said. He cupped Jaspers head in his hands and slowly leaned in. They started slowly with just a peck. Then they leaned in again, each time becoming more passionate. They began to insert their tongues into the others mouth, feeling inside all the little places. Eventually they pulled away from each other. "Holy shit." Dan said out of breath.
"Was that good?"
"That was fucking amazing!"
Back inside the bus they watched as the two boys were kissing. "Oh shit, so Jasper isn't lying?" Michelle said.
"I'm honestly surprised." Eli remarked. "He seemed so religious. Maybe something happened and be truly was changed for the better."
"Oh shit here they come." Jessica said as the boys headed for the door. They all sat back in their seats acting as if nothing had happened.
"So how was it?" Wendy asked, prompting everyone to look in her direction with dread on their faces.
"The fresh air was nice."
"Did you do anything else?" She gave an innocent but knowing look.
"Wendy leave them alone." Jessica told off her girlfriend. "Don't listen to her. She can become a bit loopy sometimes." She made circles with her fingers pointing at her temples.
