Rainbow Snippet 1/26/2020 Halfway to Someday


Rainbow Snippets gives writers a chance to share six sentences (and sometimes a little more) of LGBTQ+ fiction every weekend. Check out the Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook for more snippets: https://www.facebook.com/groups/RainbowSnippets/

A little longer than six sentences but best not to break up :)

“I’ll be out of the way in a minute; this is almost done. You can report back to Kyle that I ate.”
“Don’t you mean I could report back that you cooked, since technically, I haven’t even seen you take a bite yet.”
“Whatever.”
“Jesse.”
“What?”
Ryker huffed and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. “I wasn’t spying on you for Kyle. He’s just worried about both of us.”
“Oh, now he’s worried,” Jesse scoffed.
“Sounds to me like he’s been worried for a while.”
“And is that supposed to be my fault?”
“I don’t know. Is it?”
Ryker let the words hang in the air between them. He needed to piss but worried that the moment he stepped out of the doorway, Jesse would once again flee back to his room. Surprisingly, Jesse sighed and hung his head.
“I’d have told him the truth if he’d given me half a chance,” Jesse muttered, his voice low and sad.
“You talk like it’s too late,” Ryker replied. “I know Kyle would welcome a phone call from you and a chance to talk.”
“You don’t know shit.”
