Gay

"I can't," Will said to himself in the hallway between classes as the bell rang. "I can't hold out." As the various students passed him by, including those in both curriculums, the Sidekicks and Heroes, he was absent mindedly talking to himself. Yeah, he kissed Layla at the formal. Yeah, he loved her. But somehow...kissing her was like kissing a dead fish. "Not that she was...is a dead fish..."

"Who's a dead fish?" Layla said as she rounded a corner and came face to face with him.

"Uh, no one ! Not you! Not my friend Layla..." Will stammered, "I was just saying..."

"To yourself?"

"To myself, no one else. No one's a dead fish!" Will went wide eyed and began to babble. As he spoke a boy who was all full of scales and blue walked by and he was only partly visible. "Except maybe Scales there, he can turn into a fish any time of the day, dead, I'm I mean day or night, dead of night, that whole thing..."

Layla came closer to him as if to kiss him, "Will, there's...something you are not telling me..."

"Uh, no," Will said, "But I have to go...we are both gonna be late for our classes..."

"Did you hear? After the formal..." She said as she walked with him, "Principal Powers is going to address the whole school board and the adminstration big wigs about co-mixing the curriculum...there won't be any sidekick or heroes classes...it'll all be one..."

"Great!" Will said as he saw the Nurse's Office in their walk and he eyed it, "Great! That's great."

"Something in there you want to see?" Layla asked.

"And how," Will mumbled. He had a way of mumbling answers out loud but to himself. Answers he didn't want anyone to really hear.

"Really? Look, I have to go and I can see there's something you want to talk about but I do not want to be late for Coach Boomer's phys ed class. He's put me with some girl named Plant Girl? Or something...I dunno...see ya later, okay?"

Will nodded, "Plant girl. Okay. Okay, see ya later and I'll talk to you later, okay."

"Sure," Layla said and stopped. She hesitated at the Nurse's office, "I can see there's something not quite right and...do you feel alright?"

"Oh, uh, oh yeah sure," Will turned his attention from the nurse's office, "I'll see ya later. Tell you later."

"Okay, cause now I'm..." she faked a laugh, "I'm really worried... I don't like the way you're acting..."

"I'm fine," Will said but it came out weak. He was weak kneed. He wanted nothing more than to follow Warren around and just watch him. He was smitten and he knew it, "I'm fine, really..." He faked it like Captain Kirk faking he was fit to command the ship after having been stabbed in the back by a spy Andorian on STAR TREK. Someone in his fifth period class, ALIENS, VILLAINS AND MONSTERS FROM OUTER SPACE told him that that show was really the truth beamed from the future to help ease us all into the real future...Will wasn't sure about that but he was sure about ...

"Warren still sick?"

"Warren? Oh, how'd such I know," Will said, trying to move her away from the nurse's office now. And glancing back to get a look at Warren should the hunk come out. "I don't..."

"You saw him in homeroom and first period...." "Oh yeah, that's Warren, he's in my homeroom and first period now..."

"Okay that's the bell, I'm gonna go and you'd better too..." Layla moved away but kept watching him.

Will shook his head. He couldn't hide this from her any longer. He'd tell her tonight. He was sure she already knew and if she didn't get the signals...he couldn't shake the desire to just see Warren again. It overwhelmed him, took him over and chilled him but warmed him at the same time. It propelled him into the nurse's office. Inside, Will saw the ancient looking Spex examining a girl on the chair. They were saying something but he could not care what it was about. It was about the girl. "Having been born yesterday, Agless, you know you have to accumulate more knowledge before you can just fit in everywhere..."

"Yes Nurse Spex," the brunette girl with long hair said. To Will, she looked like a girl he was trying to forget..Gwen...Royal Pain. Will ignored her and moved to the bathroom door. If Warren were here...and he had to be because he hadn't seen him come out, it had to be there...as quietly as he could, Will tiptoed to the bathroom door and felt the doorknob. He turned it quietly. Locked. Will pulled and turned and the door opened, along with part of the wood and plaster that held it in place at the lock.

"Well, it was more focused," Will thought and went in.

Inside, Warren was trying to stifle another sneeze. Every time he sneezed things went on fire. Will closed the door carefully. Warren coughed this time. Fire came from his mouth and hit the wall of tile. Will ran to it.

"Terrific, just what I need..."

Warren's shirt was still off and in his hand, he held a new one. Will put the fire out with his hands but grabbed a towel too and smothered it. "Oh, you'll get better...soon." He looked at Warren. His eyes gave him away. "My eyes...."

"Your eyes?" Warren frowned, "Look, Strong, if this has to do with what happened in the hallway just now, I gotta tell ya, it kinda freaked me out..."

Will felt his heart fall. His shoulders went down. He held the towel awkwardly, not sure where to put it but over Warren's mouth. "Shh, shh..." He looked at the new shirt in Warren's hand. "They don't know I'm in here..." Will made a "I know I"m not supposed to be doing this face" and rolled his eyes. He looked at the back wall surreptitiously. He sighed.

"So you can't tell anyone, okay?" "Warren, don't ask me not to..."

"WHAT? You want to tell someone?" Warren grabbed Will's upper arms and as he came closer to Will, he pulled Will closer and closer. "I...should.... I should.."

"I can't help the way I feel, Warren, I just can't. I've tried. I've tried to ignore it. And you know how hard it was for me to tell my dad about me being a sidekick, imagine this and..."

"Shut up Stronghold! I feel it...how hard it is for me right now..." Warren drew Will, shorter but stocky, at him and they rubbed fronts on each other. Warren tongued Will and his thick lips hit Will's face, his pert but bubbly nose pressed into Will's and then met Will's smooth cheek. They lapped at each other like this for some time and the bell rang a while ago.

Will's mind wanted him to say so but he couldn't break from this for that. To be goody goody again. Finally, he looked up from Warren's kiss into Warren's big Anime like eyes. "I...I...have to tell Layla."

"Dude, she'll be crushed..."

"I don't know. I think she kinda suspects..."

"When did you first know?"

"I dunno. No, I do. That first night I saw you at the Paper Lantern...the Chinese Restaurant."

"Guy, I work there," Warren's pants squirmed and he pulled Will's torso closer to him, "I know it's a Chinese Restaurant."

"I dunno. You were just so kind and listened so well and yet you were all manly too and funny and cute and..."

"Shut up," Warren smiled and those almost perfect teeth flashed white at Will, who reached his head into Warren first this time and they rubbed torsos on each other. Will reached down and opened his pants up and opened Warren's also. Beneath, Warren had no underwear, which surprised Will but suited him just fine. Will moved his Superman underoos down. Warren just watched, his hardness growing firm and solid. "Dude..."

"What? Superman is just so cool..."

"Spiderman."

"Oh I like him too. I'm an equal opportunity kinda guy..."

"Is that why you fell for me? Cause I'm a sorta poor case..."

"No, I just told you why," Will took his member and placed it against Warren's and they sort of sword fought with them. Warren got into the spirit of it and dominated Will's. "Strong be my name and...shit, we gotta go..."

"Me first, you can sneak out later," Warren said, putting the shirt on. That chest, Will thought as he watched. "I'll think about letting you tell Layla but as for..."

"Waitaminute, waitaminute, you don't have to think about it. I'm telling her. If we don't want her to tell anyone..."

"I don't!"

"Then she won't tell anyone..."

"Oh man, this is gonna end up bad for us both, I just know it."

"Cool off," Will said, "And...oh, that's ahh, I didn't mean it that way...but pretty funny huh?"

Warren just stared at him. "No, huh?"

Warren stared. Then he opened the door and walked out of the office, without saying anything to anyone. Spex and Agless watched him go. They had no idea his dickhead was wet with pre cum and messing up his interior pants. It was also rising again as he thought of Will. "Shit," he said as he walked toward class. His smooth boy belly was getting the wrath of his loving Stronghold. "Why me?"

Spex went to the kitchen area, away from the door. The girl left the office. Spex waited for Will to sneak out. Then with her back turned, she said, "Normally I don't spy on students in the bathroom..." Will stopped and shut his eyes. "And it's none of my business what they do in there."

Will puffed, "Thank you...then you're not gonna tell anyone..." "But when there are two of them in there at the same time..." Spex turned to look at him and then walked over to the door, "And they break in...or rather one of them does..."

"I'm sorry, I can pay for it and..."

Spex nodded, "Listen, the door breaks all the time. I think we should sliding ones like they have in STAR TREK..." She smiled at him and he smiled back but he had to force it. "Just be careful right now...and watch what you do where you do it. And play it safe..."

"Safe? With Peace?"

"As safe you can and you do know what I mean by safe, don't you?"

"Oh yeah, that, oh yeah, yeah." Will looked down at the floor, "I didn't mean to break your confidence or trust by sneaking in there..."

"Of course you did...only you didn't know you were. You were following your heart and your...hormones...but please it's no one's business but your's and Warren's but this could get out. If one knows....and I don't mean me, honey..." She put a bony hand on Will's cheek. "I will protect you and your secret...but you have a lot to think about in the next few days and months and years..."

"Thanks and I'm sorry." Will said and opened the door to go out. He shut it.

Will walked out of the office. Agless was there. Will was surprised by her. "Oh uh, hi, Agless, hello. Didn't see you there."

"I didn't see you either." She smiled. She did so look like a young version of Gwen that it scared him. "In there."

"Oh, that. I was getting a physical behind closed screens," Will said, "Invisible Doctor..."

"Will, I may have been born yesterday...but I don't believe that. Don't worry. I won't tell anyone either..."

"Oh...okay...tell them what?"

"That you are gay."

That was the first time Will heard it out loud. He thought about it since that night at the Paper Lantern. But he never said it out loud to anyone, not even himself. Tonight he was going to have to say it to Layla. "Oh, that."

"Yeah, that. Look,it's no one's business about you being gay. Just as it's no one's business that I was born yesterday and am in tenth grade already and know more than some of them do..."

"Well, if there's anything I can do for you to help..."

"It's my choice...I can be a baby if I want to be but with an extended life span why should I waste it, you know. I can learn all I need to now but I guess it's sometimes hard to live with my choice. But you, you're different...with you it's not a choice..."

"No."

"Your secret is safe with me."

"Okay, thank," Will said and walked off, more worried than ever...
