Newsies Short Stories

Spot/Davey- Suprise

Spot had been traveling further down Brooklyn Bridge since new boy Davey had started working as a Newsies in Manhattan. He moved further each day to not raise suspicion, though nobody would pick him up on it anyway.

There was something about this walking mouth that intrigued Spot. Maybe it was the fact he changed so much since the strike started. Davey went from being this shy boy who only wanted to work to being someone who was confident and a born leader.

Spot desperately wanted to get to know this boy but would Davey find it weird?

It took Spots a good few weeks of thinking before he decided he'd talk to Davey. He managed to get him alone during work. He asked if could meet at a specific time and place. Davey said yes assuming it was a business type thing but his thoughts changed when Spot told him not to tell anybody.

Davey had heard of Spot and his reputation long before he'd met him. If Spot told you not to tell anyone you didn't because he'd find out. One way or another. That would only lead to hard times for you.

Davey dressed causally and walked over to the Brooklyn newsboy lodging. He was sent up to Spots room by a Newsies named Itey, who was Spots second in command. He gently knocked on the worn door.

"Come in." Spot said, something in his voice a little different.

Davey took a deep breath in and walked in. He shut the door behind him.

"Did one of the guys do something? I assure you I'll do everything in my power to make them stop." Davey rambled, feeling nervous.

"Hey calm down! Nobody did nothin'. Ise just wanna talk to you. Alone. That's why Ise sent strict instructions." Spot explained.

Davey nodded feeling more relaxed. "About what?"

"It's a little complicated to say. Ise would like to show you. Ise don't do feelings." Spot replied.

"Okay, that's fine." Davey said a little confused.

Spot walked towards Davey who was still stood by the door. He took a deep breath in and out. He had to stand on his toes a little to reach him. Spot slowly leaned in, thinking about what he was doing, then he kissed Davey softly on the lips putting his hand on Davey's waist to steady himself. At first Davey was surprised. He was shocked but then he felt relaxed. A new weird feeling came over him and he kissed Spot back. He put his hand on Spots cheek to reassure him he was alright with this. Davey felt a wave of sadness come over him when the kiss ended.

"Ise don't do feelings. So hopefully that sort of explains it. But there's something about you that intrigues me and draws me to you." Spot said looking away feeling embarrassed slightly.

Davey did something he never thought he'd do. He put his index finger under Spots chin and made Spot look at him.

"That explains it enough, Spot. Don't worry about it. I like you too." Davey smiled.

Spot felt a relaxed. His shoulders loosened. Davey understood and felt the same. He smiled and kissed Davey again. After the kissed finished Davey brought Spot into a hug, he didn't know why he just felt so happy.

A/N- I don't know if anybody asked for this but hey. I'm back off holiday so hoping to write more.
