the quarry

tw: slurs, mention of abuse

Henry, Victor, Belch and Patrick were all on their way to the quarry on a Thursday afternoon, Henrys father, Butch had work until 9pm that day which gave him time to go out with his friends. Patrick was on henrys right and victor and belch were on henrys left. Patrick took advantage of that and placed one of his arms around henrys waist. Henry flinched at his touch. "What the hell are you doing pat. get your fucking hand off me fag!" Patrick let go of him and gave him an uncomfortable look.

Once they had reached the quarry they decided to sit down for a bit and play music. Victor looked to a short distance and saw someone. "hey look! its eddie kasprak!" Henry stood up as the rest followed. "well, if it isn't mr asthma. such a nice surprise." "bowers please let me go this once, I'm just trying to find Richie." Henry laughed at Eddie and spit in his face. Eddies eyes grew in disgust as he ran off. "yeah that's right, go to your fucking boyfriend you little shit!" Henry said as the rest of the boys laughed. After a while they all agreed on jumping into the water, except for Henry. He hadn't recovered his scars and bruises from his father and none of the boys knew about it. "guys ill just wait here for a bit , y'all can go though." Henry felt a bit calmer than usual, probably since he hadn't seen butch since yesterday afternoon. Victor and Belch had already jumped in the water, Patrick stayed with Henry for a few minutes. "Mind if I sit here bowers?" Patrick said with a smirk on his face. "I guess pat. but the second you start annoying me I'm pushing you into the water." Henry still had his shirt and jeans on, Patrick had brought black swim trunks. Henry caught Patrick looking over at him. "quit staring hockstetter." said Henry with a annoyed voice. "well bowers I just can't resist, your quite attractive for a bully." said Patrick. Henry felt something inside him when Patrick said that, he tried to think that it was just something friendly but something took over him, a feeling. "hey pat." "yeah?" "how did you find out you liked boys?" due to the fact that Patrick had came out to them last summer. "well if your so curious bowers, I had just gotten a feeling, inside my stomach. if i saw any boy I just had these thoughts that popped into my head."

henrys pov

oh . Im not really into that queer shit and I don't even think about boys like that. well not until now. If my dad found out he would probably loose his shit and kick me out of the house. "uh Henry? you okay?" "oh yeah I'm fine hockstetter, just mind your own business." I'm pretty fucking sure the thought of my so called shitty dad ruined my mood. my thoughts were interrupted by Patrick jumping into the water. "Henry get down here! dont be a pussy!" I didn't exactly want to be called a pussy so I reluctantly took off my clothes and grabbed Patricks extra swim trunks and put them on. they felt a little bit tight since he was very slim but it was better than nothing. I jumped in and felt someone grab me from under the water. Patrick had grabbed my waist and smiled at me. "Patrick get your fucking hands off me before I punch you." Patrick laughed. "woah woah calm down hen, no need to be angry now." Hen. Patrick called me Hen, he's never called me that before. well maybe I'm just overreacting because I call him pat. but I felt something. Love? No, I couldn't. He's my best friend, nothing more. Sometimes he can be a bit flirty but I never really thought of it. maybe not in this way, this felt less friend-like. Putting your hands on someones waist, especially a boys was way more than a friend like matter. but I can't tell Patrick.

authors note!

so like ngl this is the first time I've ever written anything that isn't dsmp, but due to the fact that I haven't written in over a year and left the fandom a couple of months before I probably won't be writing anymore dsmp related fanfics, but instead will be making IT 1-2 and ST s1-4 fanfics. I have only a bit of motivation and patience to make any dsmp fanfictions but I might continue with the ones I have already written if I have the time and interest! also tysm for 2.1k reads on my book (for the last god-damn time), the books bonus parts are still a work in progress and I might change my mind on ending the book quickly. it was a pretty badly-written book, I do dearly apologize for that. I started writing it when I was only 15, I'm turning 17 in a few months. I will probably go back, recheck each chapter and edit some mistakes, also I might take down my other books if needed to. anyways ily!
