Something was tickling his face. It was light and cool, and felt like a caress. Russ struggled to open his eyes—had he drifted off? The room came into focus slowly as he adjusted to the light. Now he remembered. He'd fallen asleep on the cot upstairs and—
And Del was sitting beside him, gently stroking his cheek.
He started and pulled his hand away when he saw that Russ was awake. "Uh, thought I should wake you up. It's, um, almost time for supper and—"
Russ groaned and rolled on his side, facing away from him. "Murdoc saw that little stunt you pulled."
"Wha-wha-what?"
"Don't worry, he's only told the whole band, and the sound technicians probably heard it too. Now, when's his next interview?" Russ sat up, his back still to Del. "Because I'm guessing we only have a few days left before Russ and his dead boyfriend start popping up all over the tabloids and—"
"Russel. I'm fucking sorry, okay? Jesus!"
He got off the cot and made his way towards the door. "Uh-huh. Sure. Listen, I'm gonna get something to eat and...."
"Look me in the eye, asshole," he said sharply.
Very slowly, Russ turned around to face him. Del was stiff and flushed and looked uncomfortable. "I made a mistake. Big fucking deal. If I'd a' known you'd be such a jackass about it, I never woulda done it," he said, angry and deliberate. "So let's just bury this fucking hatchet, a'ight?"
"First, lemme ask you something."
He folded his arms. "Fine. One question and that's it."
"Why'd you wanna kiss me in the first place?"
The deep blush came back to his face in an angry bolt. "Why do you think?" he snapped.
Russ didn't know what to do. The ground under him seemed to fall away. He swallowed heavily a few times and ran his tongue around his dry mouth, trying to find something to say.
"Are you....are you saying what I think you are?" he said finally. Del didn't respond, but the way he winced answered for him.
"Oh, man," Russ panted. He could hear his pulse slamming in his ears. "Oh, *man*, I had no idea! Do you.... really have a crush on me?"
Del covered his face with his hand, humiliated. "Aw, fuck, Russ...."
"How long have you, uh...felt that way?" He tried to put an arm around the glowing
shoulders but was pushed away.
"I said *one* question."
"C' I g I gotta know!"
"Fuck off."
"How long, Del?"
Del grimaced and ran his fingers through his braids.
"Del."
He glanced down. "Goin' on ten years."
Russ couldn't talk. He could barely move his mouth.
"Aw, don't look at me like that, Russ. Come on, you're makin' me sick."
He started to splutter. "You—when you were still—I mean—"
Del got up off the cot and floated to the doorway. "Yeah, when I was still alive. Now do us both a favor and go the fuck to hell, Hobbs."
"Where are you going?"
"I'm gonna put on my fucking happy face and tell Niccals I kissed you cause I lost a bet,
okay?"
"Well—" He suddenly felt very weak. "Come back when you've convinced him."
Del hesitated. "Whatever."
