SniperScout

Sniper loved Scout, but Scout was just too dumb to see it. They’ve been buddy’s for years, they done everything together… but Scout just couldn’t tell the difference between just a friend or a lover… Sniper cared for him deeply, he’d cuddle him, go out to get food with him, tolerated his brattiness and shenanigans… but somehow it’s just wasn’t clear enough.

He wanted Scout to understand his feelings, he wanted Scout to acknowledge the obviousness that was around him, Sniper just wanted to scream it at him and get it through his dumb little head… but Sniper was too much of a introvert to do that…

But one night they both were have dinner together in Sniper’s camper, they were just eating some greasy fast food as Scout yapped and as Sniper drank a little too much beer. Sniper would gently lean onto Scout’s shoulder, he wasn’t really listening to what Scout was saying, he was just staring at the boy with a gentle frown with pure, innocent affectionate in his eyes… before Sniper could even realize it, he was confessing to the boy.

Sniper: “I- I wanna yours. I wanna be ya vacuum cleaner. Wanna breathe in your dust. I wanna be your ford cortina, I’ll never rust. If ya like your coffee hot let me be your coffee pot… you call the shots babe, I just wanna be yours.”

He didn’t understand what he was saying, he was panicking on the inside.
