Sprace-My foster brother

Jack had seen the looks Spot and Race had been giving each for months, they were clearly in love with each other. Now Spot Conlon was never touchy with anyone expect Race, he was all over Race. When the boys went selling on the weekends or after school, nobody other than Race was allow to sell in Spots space.

It was currently lunch time at school, they was in the common room. Race was in Spots lap, reading him some poems from a book that Davey given had given him. Jack observed the boys from a far, he currently had his head on his boyfriend, Davey's, shoulder. Spot had one arm tightly wrapped around Races waist and the other on his thigh. He watched the way Spot smiled at Race as he read him a poem, Race snuggled into Spots chest as he continued to read the poems to him. Jack got Davey's attention.

"Dave, them two are obviously in love. I'm going to get them together" Jack said.

"You've got a point, Jackie. But how are you going to do that?" Davey asked, looking at Race and Spot.

"I could lock them in a room at Medda's theatre" Jack suggested.

"Don't see what that will achieve but you can try" Davey said.

"You can help me" Jack said.

"Can I?" Davey said sighing.

"Yes, you can" Jack said.

He turned his attention back to the boys, Spot had just ruffled his hand in Races hair. Race kissed the boys cheek and then wrapped his arms around his neck to give him a hug, those boys had to be the only two people who thought they didn't like each other.

Jack called both the boys to an empty room in theatre, he told them he'd back in a second. He shut the door and locked it. Race went up to the door to try and open it.

"Someone's locked in" He said.

"Yeah, my foster brother! Little devil" Spot said.

"Yeah and you ain't coming out until you admit it to each other!" Jack shouted from outside, he sat against the door next to Davey who was studying.

"Admit what?" Race questioned.

"I don't know, I do have a slight idea though" Spot replied.

"What?" Race asked, sitting down. Spot sat beside Race and rested his head on Races shoulder.

"It's impossible, you'll hate me" Spot said, snuggling his head into Races shoulder.

"I could never hate you" Race said, looking down at him.

"Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you" Spot said sitting up and moving to sit in front of Race, he sat crossed legged in front of him.

"Ok...so I've been wanting to do this for a long time but I thought you'd hate me" Spot grabbed his hands. "I like ya, a lot. No I don't like you, I love you" Spot said looking away.

"I love you too" Race said.

"Really?" Spot asked.

"Yeah doofus" Race said.

Spot looked at Race and kissed him, it was soft but eager kiss like he'd been wanting to do for ages, which he had. Spot brought Race into the lap, they broke apart.

"Do you want to be my boyfriend?" Spot asked smiling.

"Yes!" Race asked hugging him.

"Finally!" Jack said as he unlocked the door, he dragged Davey in by the hand. "Took you long enough"

"What you on about?" Spot asked.

"You two have been giving each other lovey dovey looks for weeks and the way you touch each other" Jack said.

"Jackie's got a point" Davey said, looking up from his book. Spot and Race looked at each and smiled. Maybe they had and maybe Jack did have a point.

"Well how about you come on a double date with me and Dave? We're going Jacobi's deli" Jack said.

"Sure, sounds good" Spot grabbed Races hand and went to the door and off they went to the deli.

I don't like the ending that much but you know. I hope you enjoyed this :)
