Confessions

First Confession

Boomer has had it for sure. And for the last time. Of course, it was stupid of him to tell Butch about his secret love for Brick, but he really needed to air himself out. And after all, his brother had kept his secret, mostly. Like right now. After having had another fight with the girls -and lost it- the three boys went to a playground, hoping to take their rage on children, but they really weren't in the mood. Instead Brick started playing tag with the brats. Boomer and Butch went to the swings.

-So -started Butch slowing down-, are you gonna tell him any day?

-Of course not -answered the blonde while stopping-, you should know that by now!

-And what's the good on that? You just keep watching silently while he dates a girl after another. You know, we're not ten anymore, I'm sure he's starting to look for a chance to get to the very end with one of those chicks.

Boomer looked angrily at his brother, but he was right. He knew the red head was also a hothead, and every time he went in a date he came later and later. It was for granted that he had already gone far first base and maybe something else: time alone with a girl in the dark, in an alley, getting closer to her body, hugging her, maybe lusting a little.

Boomer shook his head to threw this though away. Then looked at his blackhaired brother and said poisonly.

-And you're the one telling me that? Everytime you get out for a date, come earlier. Seems to me that you're a terrible player.

-Maybe. Or maybe I'm saving me for the one I really love.

-You? -Boomer couldn't help but scoff.

-Yeah, what's wrong with that, uh? I can be really romantic if I want to.

-And who this mysterious one is? Buttercup?

-Nah.

-Bubbles? I'm sure she would like that kind of lovey dovey stuff.

-Give up, you'll never guess it.

Boomer gave him a cold glace. After him having come clear of his secret love, the green was still reticent. Butch jumped over the blond playfully, not giving him a chance to stop him from throwing themself over the swings.

-Maybe is you -said Butch tickling him once in the sand, which Boomer did not appreciate.

-What are you doing, babies? -Brick was standing next to them- It's time to go home. Come now.

Butch stood up from his little brother and offered him a hand, which was rejected.

They hit the showers as soon as they arrived. It was a shared bathroom, and the three were used to shower together. It was one of the few chances they have to really talk about their feelings.

-Man, this girl is everything -said Brick-. I bet tonight's gonna be "the" night.

Boomer shuddered while soaking himself in the water.

-Oh, she had you at her hand, isn't it? -Butch winked at the red.

-Hey, I'm the one who has her heel to head for me.

-Suuure. Keep saying that to yourself.

Brick splashed some water to the raven hair.

-I'm closer than you two, losers -said while going out of the shower-. Hope you have fun jerking around.

Having said this, he left to his room. The two brothers stood under the water, yet not for the same reason. While Butch was humming a tune, Boomer was close to hit his head against the walls.
