My Mistakes: A BxB Story

One Man in His Time Plays Many Parts

Chapter Thirteen: One Man in His Time Plays Many Parts

Matt and Jasper gathered everyone into a circle on the stage, encouraging them to sit down on the wooden floor. Today it was just the would be actors; the basketball team was practicing in the gym. No one else, except their direct friend group, had tried out for the new production.

It made for a small circle.

But the directorial duo seemed not a wit daunted.

"You're all in!!" Jasper announced somewhat unnecessarily. "The auditions were amazing, and we couldn't ask for a better cast of people to pull together this one of a kind, modern musical of Romeo and Juliet!"

Matt clapped ecstatically, while everyone else nodded and smiled somewhat vaguely. Except Kimmie, who mimicked the smaller boy by clasping her hands under her chin, bright green eyes twinkling.

"Amazing! It's going to be amazing!" she echoed enthusiastically.

Jeff sat back, mile long legs in front of him, most of his weight resting on his one good hand behind him, wondering what in the hell he was doing here again, questioning his life choices. But sat up, taking Dane's hand in his, as Timmy approached, sitting down next to Jeff's kind of boyfriend. The guitarist flicked Dane a quick smile before looking at the directors.

"Sorry I'm late." But offered no excuse, just running his hands through his mop of hair, smoothing it out somewhat. Jeff noted how Dane watched his former best friend briefly before turning back to Jeff, smiling somewhat grimly.

That was why. Why Jeff was here. He could feel Dane go on instant defensive mode, thanks to Timmy's physical proximity.

Last night, after the audition and they had a boring dinner, like always, with Dane's parents, they'd shared an intense moment, naked in Dane's bed, moonlight streaming in through the parted curtains on either side of his second story window.

Jeff held Dane in his arms, humming his audition song in Dane's ear. Jeff decided he'd have to learn to sing, practice, maybe take lessons, do whatever it took, because Dane was a freaking mess in his arms, gasping and shivering as the Jeff's resonant voice moved in and out of Dane's ear, Jeff's lips brushing it slightly, occasionally licking the soft shell. But it was his voice that was the real troublemaker, and Dane's cock was rock hard and dripping. He moaned and whimpered, even though Jeff barely even touched him, only lightly squeezing his balls. It had been insanely exciting, watching Dane come apart like that, and the sex that followed after was stellar even for them.

So yes to Jasper and Matt's insanity, yes to frequent, musical inspired, phenomenal fucking, but also to keeping this irritation away from his boyfriend.

"So," Matt continued, "we've changed things up a little bit more due to unforeseen circumstances." He glanced around at their very small number. "We're honing the play down, distilling it to its very essence."

"The best parts of the show, the quality," Jasper agreed. "We know you are so talented, we don't need anyone else! You're the best of the best."

"Okay, so..." Matt grinned at everyone. "Who knows the story of Romeo and Juliet?"

Everyone shrugged. It was Jamie who offered a synopsis.

"Umm, boy meets girl. Parents hate each other. Boy has sex with girl. They get married. They both die in the end."

"So smart," Luke murmured, smiling at Jamie who smiled back, sunnily, pleased to be complimented. Dane connected with Jude, both of them totally irritated. Is there anything that could be done about Jamie sending Luke mixed messages? To be fair, he had only smiled at Luke, but that type of thing only fed the fire of Luke's obvious obsession.
