[DIA] (BFDI x II) A Black Hole living on Earth

The Play: Act 2

Normal P.O.V:

Time passes and we're at the part of the play with the Capulet's dinner party. The scene plays out with servants getting everything ready, Tree, Shiny Blue Coin and Mocha (playing Mercutio) wearing masks arrive at the scene along other masqueraders. Tree looks to see Lollipop (also in masks and says his lines.

Tree (Romeo): Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear, Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear. Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night. 

As he watches the play Black Hole continuously reminds himself that Tree is not really lovestruck at Lolli, that this whole thing is an act, playing pretend of another character. Just then Deadly playing Tybalt approaches. 

Deadly (Tybalt): This, by his voice should be a Montague.

Gramophone (Capulet): Content thee, gentle coz. Let him alone. He bears him like a portly gentleman, And, to say truth, Verona brags of him to be victorious and well governed youth.

Deadly (Tybalt): I will withdraw, but this intrusion shall now seemingly sweet, convert to bitterest gall.

Tree then moves over to Lolli and takes her hand with utmost formality.

Tree (Romeo): If I profane with my unworthiest hand this holy shrine, the gentle sin is this: My lips two blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

Lollipop (Juliet): Good pilgrim, you do no wrong your hand too much, which mannerly devotion shows in this; for saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch.

Tree (Romeo): But saints not have lips, and holy palmers too?

Lollipop (Juliet): Ay, pligrim, lips that they must use in prayer.

Tree (Romeo): O then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do. They pray: grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.

Lollipop (Juliet): Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake.

Tree (Romeo): Then move not while my prayer's effect I take.

The two then kiss, if not reluctantly of course that is not noticed by most the viewers as far as they would know. Liy looks to Black Hole to check on him doing just fine.

Liy: I'm rather proud of you Black Hole, you haven't reacted a bit to the kiss scene.

She then looks down to notice his clutching hands had crushed the arms of his seat.

Liy: (For the most part...)

Tree (Romeo): Thus from my lips, by thine, my sin is purged.

Lollipop (Juliet): Then have my lips the sin that they took?

Tree (Romeo): Sin from my lips? O trepass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again.

Black Hole urgently glances away at the scene fearing the worst if his impulses take over. 

Nurse: Madam, your mother craves a word with you.

Tree (Romeo): Is she a Capulet? O dear account! My life at foe's dept.

The party then ends and we next see Lolli ask for the boy's name.

Lollipop (Juliet): Go ask his name. If he be married, My grave is like to be my wedding bed.

Nurse: His name is Romeo, and a Montague, the only son of your great enemy.

Lollipop acts surprised and leans on the rail of her tower with despair.

Lollipop (Juliet): My only love sprung from my only hate! Too early seen unknown, and known too late! Prodigious birth of love is it to me that I must love a loathed enemy.

The curtains fall in prep for the next act of the play, while backstage Tree and Lollipop gag in late held response to kiss each other twice, Lollipop even washes her mouth out with her water.

Tree: BLEGH! The only downside of being a gay actor is having to act striaght...

Lollipop: *gulp* Ah. You and me both my floral friend, and to think we have to endure such a thing only a few more times this play!

Tree: How about this when the play is done we NEVER speck of this again.

Lollipop: Never speak of what again?

Tree: Exactly. Though, I worry about how Black Hole takes having to see it...

Lollipop: Pah-lease! Knowing him he's more devoted to you than Teardrop with not speaking, I am certain he'll understand.

Tree smiles knowing that Lolli is fairly right, but just to be safe while he still has a break he takes his phone an quickly sends a text. Black Hole's phone vibrates prompting him to check.

Tree (text): That was disgusting! Just thought I'd let you know I don't care for her one bit.

This text is then followed by some heart emojis, Black Hole replies with some purple heart emojis himself and quickly puts his phone away. Being reminded by his own boyfriend that their love remains untainted has helped him relax and is sure to enjoy the rest of the play.

(Author's NOTE: ugh, I hated writing this... should I just skip to the play ending or do one more act before then??)
