Time Capsule

PROMPT: Your Character makes and opens a time capsule.

ZAK POV

I grabbed Darryls hand and we ran through the field to our special spot. It was an old treehouse that my pawpaw built for my dad. I went up the ladder and grabbed a coke from the mini fridge, then sat on the blue bean bag on the floor. Darryl followed and sat on his red beanbag.

"So waddya wanna do?" I smiled at Darryl. "Hmmm I dunno... We could play monopoly?" He said. "Nah, we already played yesterday... And I don't wanna lose again..." I said the last part under my breath. Darryl looked at me and smiled. "SO YOU ADMIT I BEAT YOU! HAH!" He laughed and I lightly punched him in the shoulder.

"OOOOH! I KNOW!!" I yelled. Darryl just did a hm? "WE CAN MAKE A TIME CAPSULE!!" I saw Darryls face light up. "YES THAT WOULD BE SO FUN!" "What should we put inside it?" I asked. We both thought and then spent a little time just talking.

It was about 30 minutes later and we grabbed one or two things from the treehouse. "Meet back here in 20 minutes?" He asked, and I agreed. I made my way to my house and looked around my room for things to add to the time capsule. I looked at my desk and saw the bear Darryl gave me on my 5th birthday. We are 8 now so I haven't really used the bear because i'm too old, but I still love it because my best friend gave it to me.

I grabbed one other thing and headed down stairs. "Hey mom! I'll be back in a few hours, I'm going to see Darryl!" "hold on sweetie, bring these, you need to eat!" She smiled at me and handed me a lunchbox, I'm assuming it's sandwiches for me and Darry. My mom kissed my forehead and I ran out the door to our treehouse.
I reached the treehouse and climbed up. Darryl was already up there when I went up. "My mom made us sandwiches!" I say as I open the lunchbox. He smiled at me and I gave him his sandwich, He thanked me and we ate. "So did you get the bin to put all the stuff in?" "Yup!" We finish eating and open the tub.

Darryl's mom made sure the tub was waterproof and would last long enough. We both grabbed our things and put them in the tub. We dug a hole near the bottom of the tree and buried the time capsule.

~+=-=-+~10 YEARS LATER~+=-=+~

I woke up to the sound of my alarm beeping. Ugh. Mondays suck. I turned off my alarm and got up. I picked up my phone, and of course, nothing again. I usually get a good morning text from Darryl, but we have been in a fight for a few days...

FLASHBACK

I heard the doorbell ring and I went to open it. It was Darryl. He had a red button up shirt and black plants on with a bouquet of bellflowers, they were my favorite. He had this dumb struck love look on his face. I smiled with a confused look. "What's this for?" I say as he kissed my cheek and handed me the flowers. I opened the door for him to come in and he sat on the couch while I put the flowers in a vase.

I sat down next to him. "Well I wanted to talk to you." He said and I listened looking in his eyes. I wanted to talk to you because I love you, you know that." "I love you too Darry" He booped my nose. "Well I know you don't want people to know you are gay... But I really want to tell people we are dating! I love you so much and I want everyone to know it! I want to be able to hold your hand in public, kiss you, be able to take you out on fancy dates..." I looked away. "Darryl... I just don't think I can tell my mom, my friends, anyone!" I quietly yelled. "Zak! You can't hide us from everyone, you are going to have to eventually tell them." "No I don't!" "Yes you will! Your parents are going to eventually figure out somethings wrong when you don't talk about anyone you like! Are you just going to hide me from them?!" "DARRYL I CAN'T LET THEM KNOW I'M DATING A GUY!" I yelled and immediately regretted it. He looked away hurt. "Darryl I-" "Save it Zak, I don't want to hear it. If you are so ashamed of having to date me then you don't have to." He said as he went for the door. I started crying. "Darryl wait! That's-" He slammed the door before I could finish my sentence. I looked at the door and just fell on the ground. "Darryl.... I-I'm s-sorry..." I cried my eyes out.
