Jason Rimbaud Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Friends By: Jason Rimbaud Lance shifted his gaze towards his two best friends, Justin and Scott. He creased his forehead together as he tried to differentiate the two. Lately, if you saw one you saw the other, joined at the hip without being overly annoying like most couples. Never a fan of public displays of affection, they were subtle about their love, showing it in little ways, a glance, a touch, a blush, a steady showing of love that only a blind person would miss. Lance felt a sudden surge of love for his friends, without their knowledge, their relationship was the catalyst that pushed him over the edge and helped him find the courage to propose to Shelia. They were the true testament of love?s perseverance and understanding; and maybe more importantly, love?s forgiveness. The two boys were sitting together, so close as to be on top of one another. They were holding hands, something they just started doing a few weeks earlier; an unconscious display of love that Lance thought was cute. Scott noticed the staring and mouthed, ?What?? Lance smiled, ?I love you.? Scott winked with a smile, his fingers brushing the back of Justin?s hands tenderly. Link to comment
Bruin Fisher Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Very nice - bucking convention by turning the tables. You write beautiful shorts, Jason. You have a good heart, I think. Bruin Link to comment
Jason Rimbaud Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Thanks Bruin, I wanted to write something fuzzy bunny slippers using a model of homosexual love as the inspiration for breeders to follow. I think I did a pretty good job at that. Jason Link to comment
DesDownunder Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Perfect Jason, just perfect. And before anyone says it couldn't happen, I have actually witnessed a gay couple's love inspire a straight couple to fall in love. On more than one occasion I have heard straight people say, I hope I can have a love like you two. Of course I had to tell them the bf didn't approve of threesomes. Link to comment
Jason Rimbaud Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Thanks Des, at least I know I'm not filled with wishful thinking. That being said, how can you have such a boring BF? After all, aren't you a confessed Hippie? What happened to free love and all that? Jason Link to comment

After all, aren't you a confessed Hippie? What happened to free love and all that? Jason That's what I asked him, and he just replied, times change. Seems like I'll have to do wishful thinking for both of us. Link to comment
Camy Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Just ... lovely! It was VERY 'fuzzy bunny slippers,' and left me with a warm wuzzly feeling, and a big smile! Camy Link to comment
colinian Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Something seen and overheard. And, most importantly, acknowledged with approval and love. Very, very nice, Jason. Colin Link to comment
Richard Norway Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Jason: All I can say is...Ahhhh. That was beautiful. Something deeper though is inherent here. If we can be outwardly natural with how we feel and love, we will touch others. We are an inspiration to others by just being ourselves. Richard Link to comment
Jason Rimbaud Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Thanks Richard, I so agree with your comments. Both about showing our love as natural and by saying the piece was written well. Jason Link to comment
