The Dance Inside (Kellic) (BoyxBoy)

21

It was a Tuesday evening and we were all sitting in the living room watching some TV show. There was simply nothing else to do, given that a thunderstorm was raging outside the window. I could hear the wind howling loudly outside, and every time Melody looked up at me from the floor with huge, frightened eyes. I myself loved thunderstorms. What I did not like about them was when the electricity went out, which, of course, happened. The lights flickered and then everything turned off. 

"What's happening?!" Melody screamed. 

"The light's out, you fool!" Cooper said. 

"Don't call me stupid!" Melody sobbed. 

"Coop! Don't call your sister stupid. And shut up everyone!" my father shouted at them. It was still early enough that everyone could be seen in the dim light coming through the windows. I saw my father get up while everyone else remained in their places. In fact, we couldn't do anything. 

"Probably just a blown plug," his father said, heading outside. I heard a strong gust of wind as he opened the door. A couple of moments later, everything was quiet, and dad returned. 

"Anything I can do to help?" Vic asked. 

"There's nothing you can do. The damn tree fell in front of the house and cut the wires," said the father. 

"Can we call someone to come and fix everything?" Mom asked. 

"I doubt they'll get here this late. We'll have to wait until morning," said the father. 

"What are we to do then?" I didn't even start cooking dinner. I don't want to leave the kids hungry," Mom said. Vic and I looked at each other, thinking the same thing. 

"I'll go into town and bring something back," Vic said.

 "Are you sure?" the father asked. 

"Yes, it's just a thunderstorm, and it's going to die down anyway. I'll be fine," Vic replied. 

"Okay, then I'll give you money. Kellin, I want you to go with Vic and help him, okay?" he asked, as I expected. I sighed, pretending not to, 

"Okay..." I feigned an effort as I got up off the couch when Vic got up too. We went out into the hall where my father was already standing, pulling money out of his purse. He gave them to Vic. 

"Pizza is fine," my father told us. 

"Of course," Vic replied, taking the money. We both left the house. It was still raining quite heavily outside. We bypassed the broken wires and headed to my parent's car since it was safer in such a thunderstorm. When we climbed inside, we both laughed. I guess he loved the rain as much as I did.

 "God, it's so cold outside," Vic said, starting the car and turning on the heating at the same time. 

"Cars are becoming our new place to be alone," I told him. 

"Anything will do," he shrugged. We drove, leaving the farm and heading towards the city. A huge number of thoughts swirled in my head. After the weekend, all I wanted was for us to repeat what was in the bouncy castle. The main question was where and when. 

"So..." I began. We are alone again. 

"Yeah," Vic said, giving me a quick look.

 "Well, I mean... you could pull over by the curb," I suggested, hoping he would understand what I wanted. Judging by the smirk he unsuccessfully tried to suppress, he understood. 

"Of course, and what will we tell your parents when we get back late?" he asked. 

"Hmm... let's say there was a tree in the middle of the road and we had to wait for it to be removed," I suggested. He gently stroked my thigh but shook his head.
