Chapter 26: What's This Feeling?

Author: Dillon Vera
last update Last Updated: 2020-08-22 19:40:36
Tony looked down at him and smiled warmly when they got in line for the toll booth. He was sort of... cute? Was that the right word? It's not like he would ever tell anyone, especially Dillon, that he thought his best friend was kind of cute(?). The peaceful expression his sleepy, innocent face displayed was just so... pure. Like he didn't have a care in the world. Right after Tony paid the toll and merged onto the ramp that led off of the Atlantic City Expressway, he heard Dillon say something too quiet for him to hear. He rolled the window back up so he could ask him to repeat what he said.

"You say somethin', man?" Tony asked softly. He glanced over at Dillon. His eyes were closed but he had a grin on his face.

"Thank you. Everything was incredible. Best summer ever," He said a bit louder. His grin turned into a million watt smile. "Thank you. For comin' with me. It wouldn't have been nearly as fun."

"Y-yea? I don't know why yer thankin' me, haha. You... uh, you made my first

    The bell rang at last and it was sort of nostalgic to Dillon to see everyone file out of their classrooms. Many his age would disagree, but he got bored with summer very easily. Every year by August he became anxious and started to chomp at the bit to get back into the swing of academia. Just up ahead, Dillon saw as Brenden came out of his shop class. Once he caught

    Dillon was pissed and devastated as he pulled open the door and made his way out of the shop. As he felt that signature 'sting behind his eyes', he walked toward the garages. This had been one of the best friendships he'd ever had and he walked away from it ashamed and heartbroken. Dillon was right. Tony did know. While he knew that this day would come sooner rather than later, it crushed his soul all the same. He would never hold anybody close after this. No, not one. He'd learned his lesson. There would be no successive best friend after that... that humiliation. When he made it to the hall that led to the first garage, his ears perked up when he heard a door slam from further inside the building. He shrugged it off until a second later when his bags were ripped from his hands and cast onto the floor. Next thing he knew, Tony spun him around by the shoulder and shoved him hard into the wall behind, one hand fisted tightly in his shirt and the other fisted on the wall next to his h

There had to be something that Tony could do to ease him, however temporarily. What could he really do, though? This was

    Once he got to his locker, he quickly slipped into his tank top and shirt and grabbed his overly packed keyring. Then he swiftly threw on his bike jacket and grabbed Dillon's(which he didn't know about yet), then walked out of the garage towards the side of the building. It was a beautiful day, and he needed a smoke. He reached into his jacket pocket, grabbed his Marlboros and zippo and lit up. A moment later, Tony rounded the corner to the back of the building where Harley was as Dillon leaned on her and flipped through his phone."Uh,

    Wait time was over. They both had accepted the non-verbal compromise, which was confirmed by the quick nod he gave Tony before he removed his shirt. In his anger, he felt a pang of happiness to have one who could communicate with him without words. It was a little scary how much one knew the other's thoughts.

'Get ready, my guy. I'll be holdin' back but it may be a lot for yer first time. I'll see you through it, though. Promise.', Tony thought to himself. After he admired Dillon

    Once the two of them had all their stuff, they got out and made their way up to the apartment. Tony was beyond content to see Dillon constantly look back at his new baby girl. There was no need for Mrs. Vera or himself to worry. The kid adored the car enough to be careful and rational in her care. Hopefully he adored it, anyway. He actually hadn't given a definitive judgment on what he thought yet.The very second Dillon unlocked his door with his new apartment key and closed it behind him, he assaulted Tony with a huge hug. The kid's jaw hit the floor when he handed that k

    While they might have made up from their combined overreaction earlier, Tony's blood was hot to teach Dillon's rude mouth a lesson. Hopefully Dillon knew it wasn't for real and that it just fit perfectly into the act. The heat that he could see in Dillon's gaze when he grabbed him by the hair told him he needed him. He wanted to make it up to Tony and he

    Dillon needed to clear his head. He didn't even want to look at Tony, but he couldn't go home either. The bastard didn't need to know that a night with him was too precious to give up. No, Dillon just needed to think and take some time to himself. He was terrified. Even more people knew, which meant many more points of weakness. That area of town was pretty close knit, and it wasn't impossible that it could leak to his family. Besides, that shop is where his dad took the cars for any non mechanical issue. Fuck, and all

    There was no easy way to tell Dillon that half the shop knew about their relationship. The thing was, he couldn't not tell him. If he found out through one of them somehow, his reaction would be a thousand times worse because Tony didn't tell him first. For a couple beats Tony hesitated, with what felt to him like a worried expression on his face. What if Dillon hate

    The bus squealed and jerked forward like the ghetto-mobile it is. The sliding door got stock three quarters of the way, which made it difficult to get his jacket and backpack through. Well regardless, he made it, and like usual, he much looked forward to a night with his guy. He didn't tell him he got the green light from his folks to stay over. Once in a while, they'd reward him with a weekday sleepover at Kat's or Tony's, so long as his chores got done and his grades were good. Which they almost always were.After he adjusted his bag and looked forward, he saw Tony on the

    Tony's mind was much more at peace. Time to forge on ahead and at least fill and sand the panels for the El Camino. If he could get that done and maybe replace the headlights, taillights, and interior lights with LEDs that the owner requested, he could leave at a reasonable time. Good choice. They had gone with his recommendation to go with LEDs that appeared incande

  • The Art of Life and Love: The First Spark   Chapter 80: Epilogue and Announcement

    That concludes our walkthrough of my err- Dillon's life for the year of 2010. It had been quite the year for him, hadn't it? It was a long, arduous one for him to endure. He faced many scary moments, but stumbled upon an equal amount of wonderful moments as well. The greatest moment of which was when Tony became his. The lessons of this year will come in handy this upcoming year as well. They will definitely be needed for 2011. The challenges for Dillon will be great and unlike any he's faced ever before. Now Dillon's found the piece of himself he'd been missing at the beginning of the story in the form of Tony. That's what will make this round of challenges different from the last. New and intimidating things are often new and intimidating enough to stop people from exploring them. Dillon, as we have seen, for the most part never struggles with new things for long. He tackles them head on, as seen when he and Tony were together physically for the first time. It might have been to
