Unspoken Secrets
Chapter Seven

Stanley's eyes widened, his heart raced and his stomach filled with butterflies. The kiss was so short, yet it felt so long.

For moments it felt like just the two of them. Everyone else had simply disappeared. The world stopped spinning, the air stopped swirling, and the water stopped crashing against the land.

The world was silent, and the only the breaths of Stanley and Bill were heard as their lips unconnected. They stared at each other, their cheeks exploding with magenta colored spots.

"Fuck yeah!" Richie shouted, causing Bill and Stanley to look over at everyone. "Now that's what I'm living for!"

Eddie giggled with a huge smile.

Beverly and Ben stared with huge grins plastered across their faces, but Mike did not smile, nor did he cheer. He simply stood up, and walked away.

Stanley watched him worriedly, and Bill tightened his grip on his hand.

"I-it's oh-okay Stanley.. d-don't worry.." he whispered.

Stanley nodded his head, his face still flustered. "I- I really.. really like you, Bill."

"I like you, too." Bill said without a stutter, his cheeks beginning to burn even more.

Bill then looked over at Beverly, who gave him a big, sly smirk. With a playful laugh, she said, "You two are meant to be together."

Stanley looked over at Bill, and Bill looked over at Stanley.

"Yeah.." Stanley said. "Meant to be."

"Aren't you guys glad we made you play this game?" Richie said, looking at Stanley and Bill with the happiest and most pleased face.

Stanley nodded with a chuckle, Bill laughed as well.

"Should we continue then?" Beverly said, and everyone nodded their heads except for Bill and Stanley, who exchanged looks.

"I th-think we're g-gonna head ho-home." Bill said, grabbing Stanley's hand and lifting them up together. Stanley nodded.

"Ohhh, to continue?" Richie said with a  snicker. "Well, make sure to use condoms."

Eddie bursted into laughter while Stanley and Bill rolled their eyes. With interlaced fingers, they began heading up the path back to Bill's home.

Bill opened the door, Stan and his hands still connected. His dad stood in the doorway, and when he saw their hands, his eyes twitched. His mouth turned upside down, a big scowl on his face.

"O-oh, hi dad." Bill said, letting go of Stan's hand abruptly.

"Billy... and.." His dad then looked Stanley up and down, his scowl growing angrier. "..Stanley Uris. What are you two up to exactly?"

"Uh, uhm- uh.. we were j-just going up t-to my room.." Bill said, his face growing pink. Stanley watched the two and shuffled his feet awkwardly.

"Were you now?" Bill's dad asked, his eyes set on Stanley. "You know Billy, I think it'd be best if you two just stay down here."

"Th-thanks for that, d-dad. B-but we're f-fine." Bill said, grabbing Stanley's arm and quickly pulling him up the stairs.

Once they arrived at Bill's room, Bill quickly shoved Stanley in and closed the door behind them, locking it with a simple click.

Bill let out a sigh and sat on his bed, Stanley slowly approached him. Carefully, Stanley placed their hands together and interlaced their fingers.

"What's wrong, Bill?"

The question made Bill cringe. For the answer was, he knew his dad would not be supportive towards him and Stan, he did not agree with stuff like that. Bill had overheard his dad calling people fags before, and all it did was breake his pure heart.

His eyes filled with tears, but he shook them away. "M-my d-dad saw us h-huh-holding hands.."

Stanley nodded. "You think he realized that we..."

"W-w-wuh-we what?!" Bill demanded, growing furious from the feeling of distraught growing inside of him. "Wh-what are we S-Stan?"

Stanley had never asked himself this before. Just because they kissed, that didn't mean they were dating. Stanley longed to date Bill, it was an urge he found himself yearning for quite frequently.

"I- I don't know.." Stanley whispered. "D- do you want to be more than friends?"

The answer Bill gave was not the response Stanley thought he would.

Instead, with their hands together, Bill pulled Stanley foward, their lips meeting again. This kiss was more rough than the last time, it wasn't simple. It was full of something. Something powerful. Passion.

Stanley found himself with his legs around Bill's waist and his hands in Bill's soft, brunette hair.

Bill held Stanley's waist tightly, never wanting to end this. This was finally what he wanted, what he had been waiting for.

Bill deepened the kiss, causing Stanley's face to erupt. Suddenly, he unconnected their lips.

"B-Bill.."

"Y-yuh-yes?"

"Do you want to be my boyfriend?"

And in answer to that, Bill said without a single stutter, "Yes. Yes I do, Stan."

Stanley smiled and blushed deeply. This time, he leaned in and kissed Bill's beautiful, pale lips. As Bill deepened the kiss, he did as well. Thought it was hard for Stanley because it was his first time ever doing something like this.

Slowly, Stanley felt something warm on his lips. His eyes opened briefly as he felt Bill wrap his arms tighter around Stanley's waist, pulling him as close as he could get, swift breaths pressing against his cheeks.

Stanley closed his eyes again as he realized Bill's tongue had been placed in his mouth. He blushed harder at the thought that he allowed this, and that this was actually happening.

Bill blushed insanely as he felt Stanley's hands creep up and play with his hair.

Everything just felt so perfect.

They didn't even realize the knocking on the door, or when the lock was picked. But when the door slammed open, the two of them jumped, looking at the figure.

Bill's dad.
