The heels of Richard's white, sparkly, knee-high boots clicked on the sidewalk as he jogged to the entrance of the charity center. He was excited to be in his first drag race and he quickly adjusted his high-waisted skirt with a floral pattern on navy blue paired with a black, long-sleeved sweater before opening the doors. The short 7th grader was met immediately with a tall man with neat hair and a warm smile.

"Afternoon Mr. Epstein!" He said cheerily.

"Afternoon, Ritchie. Are you ready for your first drag race?" Brian Epstein clapped his hands together excitedly.

"Yup, I spent the last hour picking an outfit." Ritchie giggled, excitement making him feel bubbly and light.

"Great. Oh! I almost forgot, I need you to help me with giving George here a tour of the place." Brian shuffled over to reveal a lanky boy that Richard didn't realize was there.

"H-hi." He said shyly, combing his fringe out of his eyes with his hand. Ritchie looked him over. The boy known as George wore white skinny jeans, light pink high tops, and he tugged nervously at the hem of his Eric Clapton band shirt. Ritchie thought he looked quite handsome.

"Hello, me name's Richard. Or Ritchie if you like." He stuck out his hand for George to shake. He did so and blushed at his touch. "Don't talk much do ye?" Richard asked playfully. "Well, follow me Georgie and I'll show ye around." He tightened his grip slightly and walked to the main hall with him.

"So what's your story?"

"My w-what?" George blinked.

"Y'know, gay, bi, pan, asexual, transgender, non-binary, et cetera. Your story." They stopped walking so they could talk.

"Well, I'm a dude, always been in a dude's body and such. And I'm uhm, gay I guess." He seemed to opening up to Richard already.

"Cool, me too. You interested in drag?" He batted his made up eyelashes.

"Oh yeah, it's been a passion since most girls' Disney-princess-halloween-costumes phase." George smiled widely, revealing his fangs. Ritchie's heart fluttered and George blushed again.

"You have a cute blush by the way."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Wha'cha thinking of?" George asked. Ritchie snapped out of his flashback and felt the weight of reality once again.

"Jus' remembering when we first met. You were so shy." He recalled, twiddling his thumbs as he rested his back on George's chest. The pair were sitting under a tree one Saturday afternoon at the park. Just a few days ago, Paul broke the news of when the date of the wedding was and they haven't "done" anything since. Richard felt a bit used to be honest, but he kept trying to convince himself that this was his mother's fiancé he was talking about.

"Ritchie?"

"Yeah Gear?" Richard turned his head to see George better. Concern ghosted over his features.

"Don't ever leave me."

"Of course I won't, love." He reached up and stroked George's cheek.

"Sorry, that was weird. I just got an odd feeling for a moment there." George chuckled nervously. Ritchie smiled and rolled over so that his front was pressed up against the soft grass and his head rested on George's belly.

"You won't lose me. I'll always be here." Ritchie snaked his arms around George's slender waist and buried his face into his warmth. "You won't lose me." He repeated. George felt relief wash over him as he began to doze off with Richard keeping him warm on the breezy November afternoon. Richard however was playing a rather stressful game of mental ping-pong as his head rose abd fell slightly with George's steady breathing.

Thrill or real love?
