Hella Gay Shots

July 4th

“FUCKING HELL MINI! HOW HARD IS IT TO HIT A BIRDIE?” Tyler shouts as Craig falls to the ground with his red racket; missing the white birdie with the red rubber tip. The blue racket team laughs. This team consisting of Delirious, Moo, CaRtOoNz, Basically, Fourzero, and Nogla. Players on the red team groan or laugh at their teammate. This team consists of Vanoss, Wildcat, Mini, Terrorizer, Jiggly, and Lui.

On the blue team it's Marcel's turn to serve. Moo's to the left of him; middle back. Beside Moo is Scotty. In front of Scotty is Nogla, beside Nogla is CaRtOoNz and Delirious stands in front of Basically.

On the other team Wildcat stands in the serving spot, Vanoss in front of him. Beside Tyler stands Mini. Anthony stands beside Craig. In front of Anthony stands Lui. In between Evan and Lui stands Brian.

“Alright! 3 serving 0!” Marcel shouts and sends the birdie over. In the middle back Mini tips it off his racket. Tyler falls to the ground to get the birdie up. Vanoss runs and saves it just in time. He hits it over to Luke. “Set me CaRtOoNz!” Delirious shouts. His friend obeys and hits the white object in front of the clown. The pallid arm swings back and smashes his racket down. The birdie hits Vanoss right in the chest. It bounces off his white T-shirt. He tries hitting it with his racket but fails and only does a weird dance move trying to stop the birdie from falling to the ground.

The guys laugh at the flustered owl. “Nice fucking shot Delirious!” He shouts and throws the birdie over to their team. The clown winks at Vanoss, making him even more mad, but when he turns back around into his spot he smiles.

The game continued with yelling, falling, laughing, and some really surprising playing from a bunch of nerds.

Finally it was Evan's turn to serve again. The score was tight; 19-20. The blue guys only needed one more point to win. “Game point!” The owl shouts and hits the birdie. Delirious jumps up and smashes the birdie back onto their side of the grass. “BITCH!” Mini shouts. “You can spike a serve Delirious!” Tyler cries. “Reserve!” Terrorizer shouts at Evan and tosses him the birdie. As Vanoss catches the birdie he makes eye contact with Delirious. The raccoon smirks, his blue eyes seem to be stuck on Evan. Brown eyes glue on to Delirious. He was so glad that he decided to come over to Tyler's for the fourth. He finally trusted them all enough to show his friends his face, not his fans though.

Delirious had a chubby face accompanied by two dimples when he laughed or smiled. He was about 5’10 so he was a little shorter than Vanoss. Speaking of, the owl man found him to be very cute.

“Serve the damn birdie Evan!” Marcel shouts from the other side of the net. “Yeah, sorry,” he mumbled, removing his gaze from Delirious. The clown tilts his head, wondering why Vanoss was staring at him.

The blue team cheers as Moo’s serve goes right over Brian’s head and onto the ground. They high five each other as the red team either groans or laughs at their friend’s fail. Each team high fives each other and says “good game” or merely “gg”. Vanoss and Delirious high five and make direct eye contact with each other and say at the same time, “good game”.

After a while of sitting and talking, dinner was done and people were eating. “Okay guys! We’re gonna get lit here in a few seconds!” Wildcat jokingly says. All the guys look at him like he’s stupid. He laughs and they all join in.

They continue to chow down on their burgers and hotdogs. “Ya know? I love fireworks,” Delirious randomly states, “and seeing them tonight with you guys for the first time, in real life, it’s gonna be amazing.” All the guys stare at Delirious and mumble “yeahs” and “hell yeahs”. Vanoss genuinely smiles at the guy. Something in his gut started to hurt, and he knew it wasn’t the burgers.

“Okay boys! Get ready for the fireworks!” Tyler shouts and grabs Scotty and Craig to help him with the fireworks. The sun just set and the sky was beautiful; the purple and orange sky.

Delirious walks over to the blue cooler and grabs a hard lemonade out of it. Vanoss tags along behind him. The raccoon spots him and smiles, “You want one?”

“Sure!” Delirious grabs one and pops the lid off like nothing. He hands it to Evan and he smiles again. “Thanks,” Evan gestures the drink toward his friend and takes a big swig out of it. Delirious nods and drinks as well.

“You wanna go sit down for the fireworks?” The clown questions the owl. “Yeah, let’s go.” They walk together over to the grass in front of Tyler and his minions. Occasionally their hands brush together, making both of them blush from the quick warmth of each other’s skin. They finally sit down beside each other on the grass with their drinks. Delirious takes another swig of the drink, “So, why’d you stare at me earlier?”

The heart stops on the small owl, “Uh, what are you talking about?”

“Before you served, you were staring at me, why?”

Vanoss needed to stall, he didn’t want Delirious to know; he probably didn’t feel the same.

“I- Uh,” his face turns a bright red. “Who’s ready for fireworks?!” Scotty shouts. Vanoss thanks God quickly and shrugs at Delirious, “Let’s watch the fireworks.” Delirious sighs and looks up into the sky. Tyler lights up one and runs away quickly. The fireworks pop into a beautiful colors; red, blue, purple, and gold. Followed by a shimmering sound. Vanoss turns to Delirious and watches the colors light up his face. It makes him look amazing. His teeth shine in the blue light of the firework. Suddenly a hand hits Evan in the shoulder. He turns around to face Mini, “You know the fireworks are that way”, he whispers. Vanoss blushes, “Yes, I know.” Mini slightly chuckles, “You should tell him.” Vanoss whips his head at his friend, “What? What do you mean?”

“There's obviously something there.”

“Whata mean?”

“You were just staring at him Evan… come on.”

Vanoss ignores Mini's comment. He twiddles his thumbs and turns to Delirious. More fireworks explode in the sky. Vanoss finally sits up from the grass, grabs the clown’s chin and pushes his lips against his. Delirious pulls away, stunned. They both turn back and watch the fireworks, their hands intertwining in the grass. Delirious moves closer and kisses him on the cheek. The lock eyes and smile at each other, their hands still touching. They enjoy the fireworks for the rest of the night and enjoy each other for the rest of their lives.
