~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Spot ran his finger through Race's hair as Race trailed his finger up and down Spot's back. "If Jack knew about this he'd be pissed." Spot stated. Race let go of Spot and crossed his arms
"Way to ruin the fucking mood." He rolled his eyes.
Spot looked taken aback, "Jesus, I was just saying! He'd kill me if he found out. And I ain't ruining the mood? I mean how about the awful stench of those cigars you always smoke?"
"oh please!" Race scoffed, "get over it!"
"Or all those girl you flirted with today?? Hmm? How is that for ruining a mood!" Spot growled.
Race rolled his eyes again, "that's just business, love"
"Don't 'love' me! I'm serious!" Spot was shouting now. "The fuck is your issue, Tony? Why the hell are you always flirting with some damn woman on the streets? Am I not enough for you?"
Race glared daggers "oh like you ain't always trying to make sure no one ever possibly knows we'se a thing. That as if dating me would be bad for your look or something? So don't try that with me, Spot"
"What are you talking about?"
"Why are you so fucking ashamed of me??" Race felt tears prick in his eyes and he turned around and sat on the rickety bed in the corner
"What? Don't act like you aren't too. I mean sneaking out because the 'hattans can't know you're going to Brooklyn." Spot walked closer so he was standing in front of race but kept space between them
"I'd tell every single person I've ever met about us if you weren't so embarrassed. If you weren't always so obsessed with your rivalry with Jack, and what he thinks about everything." Race spat angrily, the tears flowing down his face now.
"I'm just trying to protect you! I don't want him to get upset! I'm don't want to see you get hurt, Tony" Spots voice was harsh
"well you fucking failed, Sean!" Race couldn't look the shorter boy in the eye.
"Sean? Are you really doing this." Spots voice got dangerously low and Race felt like his throat was closing in on him.
"Answer the damn question.." he managed
"what question"
"what ques- why do you hate Jack more than you love me?" Tears poured down Racer's face. "Do you- do... are you going to .. leave me?" He looked down and covered his head with his hands.
Defensively spot raised his voice again "No?? Why do you always assume I hate you!"
"Because it seems that way!"
Spot sat down with his head in his hands, breathing heavily for a moment before getting back up.
"Race."
"Yea?" Races voice was shaky and he started to hyperventilate a bit.
"I'm going to go for a walk," Spot forced himself to breathe, "I suggest you do as well when you're feeling a bit better. We can talk this out later, ok? When we're calm and collected."
Race curled up into a ball on the bed and tried to resist the sobs collecting in his throat. He watched as Spot left.
Race awoke to the sound of the door clicking shut. He didn't even realize he'd fallen asleep.
"You feeling up to talkin?" Spot's gravely voice sounded softer than usual, race looked at him, it looked like he had been crying, though Spot would never admit to it.
Race sat up and looked away, his voice wouldn't work, it seemed like to speak he had to put in triple the amount of effort as usual. "Sure.." he whispered. Spot sat down softly next to him.
"I didn't know that keeping this a secret bothered you so much, and I'm so so sorry Antonio-"
"please" race said wearily "don't call me that. I- it's-" race couldn't help but think of his life before the Newsies took him in.
Spot looked empathetic "Race, I'm so sorry I hurt you and if telling people is what you want then we can tell every single newsie that we see."
Race looked at Spot with a stunned look in his eyes, "really? Even Jack"
"especially Jack. I don't care what he says, I just-" he put a hand on race's arm. "I love you more than anything in the world"
Race couldn't think straight "Ti amo piú dei buoni titoli nei giorni migliori!"
"I- I don't understand." Spot sounded a little nervous. Race took a deep breath
"I love you too!" He threw himself into spots arms.
"Now I know you said more than that."
Race huffed "I ain't repeating myself."
