"Oh come on John, it's not that bad. I'm sure he just needs..." Hercules stopped as we walked into the cool building of the movie theater. We stepped into the line to get our tickets, which wasn't that long. "Time. Yes time." He continued.
"Really Herc, thanks for the support or whatever but that really isn't helping..." I mumbled walking forward as the line moved up a spot.
"Don't be so hard on yourself, it was a mistake, right?" He looked at me. I shook my head.
"No I want everything I did. I can still feel his lips against mine. It nips away at me. It felt like magic." I said dreaming off.
"Did you deep throat him with your tongue?"
"Ew Herc!" I giggled punching him in the arm slightly. Even if I actually tried to punch him, it wouldn't matter anyway because Hercules is the biggest guy I have ever met.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry!" He says through a fit of giggles. We move up the line to see the movie selections.
"Fuck Herc, did we decide on a movie?" I whisper into Herc's ear.
"Nope!" He replys loudly. I scan the movie selections and point to a funny looking chick flick.
"Okay can we have two tickets to that-" I point to the sign with the girly movie I want to see, but Herc steps in front of me.
"No okayyyyyyy. Two to the Purge please." The woman running the booth nodded, and handed us two tickets. I eyed Herc, scolding him with my eyes. "John if you want to see chick flicks you don't see it with a very muscular, 300 pound man." I rolled my eyes as we stepped into the area to get our pop corn.
"Yeah yeah okay." Me and Herc made our way up to scoop our popcorn, which we did. By this time, Alex had made his way back into my mind. His kiss, just, him. I let out a sigh.
"Cheer up buddy! Enjoy the movie!" He said taking the popcorn over to the buttering machine. I took one of his hands.
"You don't understand! I love him! I think." I say still holding onto his hand. He pulled it back hard.
"Buttering is a two hand job." He said laughing a little. I zoned out. All I can think about is Alex.
"I know you want to butter Alex that's for sure." Herc mumbles to himself.
"I heard you!" I yell back at him.
"Yeah whatever. Hey lets go, I wanna get my purge on!" He winks at me and pulls me into the theater.
The movie isn't as fun as I thought it was going to be. Herc laughed and screamed his way through it, and I just sat there. Thinking about Alex, the string, and myself. When the movie was over I stayed silent as Herc blurted out how good the movie was. He drove me home, and waved me goodbye as I walked into my dim dorm, kicking off my shoes lazily at the wall, and then turning around the corner. My eyes widened as I saw Alexander. He saw me enter and shot up from where he was sitting.
"John!" He yelled out at me standing up from where he was previously sitting. I took a step back.
"Alex I'm so sorry... I messed up I should have stayed behind and talked to you-" He cut me off by walking up to me and pulling my neck and into a warms kiss. I melted into him, running a finger through his hair. Alexander's tongue poked at my lips, and I open my mouth. He grabbed the sides of my face and deepened the kiss. I pulled away quickly, taking a deep breath.
"Wow.... Just, wow..." I gasped out. I took a step back. Alex looked down, his face red.
"Did I... Do a bad job?" He asked looking down his thumbs.
"What?" I asked a little confused.
"That was... That was only my second kiss..." He mumbled out just loud end for me to hear.
"Wait. Then that means...." I took a second to look back at earlier today. We only kissed once before hand....
"Yeah... Your were my first kiss." Something I thought was impossible happened. He became a deeper shade of red.
"Well I'll be honored to make your third kiss even greater." I said taking a step forward slowly kissing him. We made out for a while before we broke apart and started talking. It was really late now, and Lafayette was still John. We just sat in the couch listening to Clipping and just talking. I never felt so happy with anyone before. It was then where I just spilled it out.
"Have you ever heard of the red string of fate?" I asked as I sipped on a glass of red wine I had gotten awhile back.
"Oh yeah that's that urban legend right?" He asked. My face flushed. I was digging my own grave here. He's gonna pressure me to tell him.
"Yeah. Well this is crazy-" I started.
"I like crazy." I nodded and continued.
"Well, I can... See them or something?" I said scrunching myself up. Cringe, I sound so cringey.
"Oh that's awesome!" He said taking sip of his wine as well. There was awkward silence for me at least. I looked over at him.
"You believe me? And your not gonna ask who your connected too?" I asked.
"Yeah of course I believe you. I don't think you would lie about that... And no. I really don't want to know who I'm connected too, because it might seem hard on you to tell me. But I understand how you feel, I see them too..." My face turned bright red.
"What?" I asked my eyes widening.
"Yeah. Your connected to me. I didn't want to pressure you, and tell you, but we knew all along!" He said tears welling up in his eyes.
"Do you see the black ones?" I asked curiously.
"Yeah, do you know what they mean? I always thought they meant a bad breakup or something."
"That's what I thought..." Suddenly Laf stumbled in drunk, around Herc's shoulder. They were very close to one another. Very close. I looked at Alex who nodded almost like I was asking him if he saw their string.
"Wee! Herculesszzz Mon Amie see you tomorrow ieeee." He waved Herc out the door. He left giggling. Laf stumbled to the bed and flopped on it, falling asleep. I shrugged and kissed Alex goodbye before he got up and left in the night.
