After a long, hot and slightly uncomfortable (for Leo because Dylan and his uncle, who had picked them up from the airport, were talking in rapid Spanish) car ride, they arrived at the house. It was a cream coloured bungalow with a fence running around the front and a gate opening up onto a ramp. Apparently the garage was under the house.
They got out of the car and Dylan apologised for only speaking Spanish as they walked up to the house.
The uncle, who Leo found out was called Ricardio, got out a key handed it to Dylan and probably said something along the lines of "you do the honours" Leo guessed. But as Ricardio said this Dylan blushed furiously then laughed, shaking his head. They said goodbye because Ricardio had to get back to his home.
Leo poked Dylan, who still looked flustered, and asked "what did he say?"
"Oh nothing. Just to remember to turn on the.... Well to do things we came here to do." Dylan stuck his tongue out and opened the door.
They both rushed in because it was hot outside yet cool inside. Probably because all the shutters were shut tight so no sun could get in. They each explored the one floored house opening the window shutters.
Leo walked into one room with a big bed and shouted "BAGSIE THIS BED" he dropped his stuff and plonked down onto it. Gazing at the lumpy ceiling.
Dylan came in looking slightly...well a mix of embarrassed, relieved and annoyed, Leo thought.
"What's up?"
Dylan did a little wonky smile "Well the thing is this house has four rooms. A kitchen, a livingroom, a bathroom and this bedroom. " he left it for Leo to work out.
"Ooooooh. Right. Well.... We could top and tail but- BAGSIE THIS END."
"Why do you want that end?"
"Well, so my pillow doesn't fall off the end. " he laughed.
"Well that's not fair dude. I don't want that either. I guess we both get that end. " he looked at Leo defensively, as if he was daring him to disagree.
"Fine."
"Fine."
They both burst out laughing at how serious the other's expression was. Dylan dropped his stuff next to Leo's and dived not the bed next to him. The problem was however, Dylan hadn't measured the distance and went flying into Leo, making them both fall off the bed together.
Leo grabbed onto Dylan as they fell and landed on top of him. His hands by his shoulders. Dylan looked up into Leo sparkling emerald eyes. They had both stopped laughing and they just looked at each other.
They looked at each other for so long Leo's arms began to ache from holding him up for so long. So he rolled off Dylan and onto his back. Lying next to him on the cold stone floor.
Leo felt like he was being sucked into a black hole and he knew he couldn't go there. Not until Dylan knew. And he didn't want to ruin the holiday by telling him. So instead of going with it he took a deep breath and, standing up he got his toiletries bag and walked into the bathroom.
Dylan continued to lie on the floor thinking about what just happened. Leo probably thinks he's a weirdo now! But what he saw in Leo's eyes, wasn't that real?
Leo stood holding the sink. He wanted this and he knew that. Dylan probably thinks he's a weirdo now!
He places his tooth brush, toothpaste and floss on the ledge above the sink, then put the syringe and the tube of medicine in the cupboard above the sink and walked out.
He went back to the room to find it was empty.
Dylan had decided that it would be best to go and find somewhere to cool down. Walking through the small, cobbled town he found a path leading to a stream that was trickling away from a big trough.
Leo had no idea what to do and no idea where Dylan was, he was also scared he had ruined their friendship, so he put some music on and it lightened his spirit. By the end of the third song he was singing and dancing like he's usually do with Dylan. Dylan... I should go and find him. He thought. So he paused the music and stepped back out into the hot sun. It was about 3 o'clock.... In England. Here it would be about 4.
Leo followed the path all the way to a stream. This looks like a place Dylan would go. He climbed up to the trough and saw Dylan, lying shirtless, next to the pool. His eyes were shut but he wasn't sleeping.
Hehehe perfect. Leo thought, seeing an opportunity to reduce the tension between them. He ran and cannon balled into the water next to Dylan, who's eyes eyes flew open as he got covered with freezing water, he sat up and gasped. But the joke wasn't just one way. Leo was fully submerged in the freezing cold water, and as soon as Dylan saw Leo he burst out laughing at his baggy wet shirt. "Dude why the hell you do that? And in your shirt as well!"
Leo laughed as well and said "Hey man, don't hate. It was a spur of the moment." After saying this he paddled over, grabbed Dylan by his shoulders and, before he could protest, he got pulled into the water.
