Pairing: Tommy/Merton
Summary: Tommy discovers something.
Disclaimer: not mine.
Tommy didn’t know exactly when it had started. But he did know when he had noticed it.
He was in love with his best friend Merton. His sidekick, the smart one, the geek of the school, the president of the gothic fantasy guild, the senior that still got stuffed into lockers. At first he thought he must be wrong, wasn’t the wolf supposed to be all manly and macho? But it just sneered at him, gave him the simple advice jump Merton when he least expects it and then left him alone with his problem. He had no idea what to do. He didn’t think that Merton would leave him if he told him, but it would all change and get awkward. Tommy didn’t think he could handle that.
Anyway, back to the day that he realised what his feelings were.
It was a completely normal Saturday night. Tommy and Merton sat and watched The mummy returns on Merton’s couch. They were eating chocolate ice cream out of two bowls and Tommy was really enjoying himself. The duo had seen this movie countless times before but Tommy didn’t mind. Merton was a pretty special guy and it was quite entertaining watching him get worked up when there were something he liked or disliked. Besides it was a good excuse for Tommy to stare at him without it being weird. He really liked watching and touching Merton. He supposed it was because they were such good friends and he thought he was very funny sometimes.
He looked over at Merton who was staring at the screen in concentration. Tommy grinned at the sight and shoved another spoonful of ice cream into his mouth. So did Merton, but since his eyes were locked at the TV he didn’t notice when he smeared half of it over his cheek.
Tommy swallowed around the lump that suddenly had formed in his throat and stared at the streak. He got this strong urge to reach over and lick it away.
“Tommy?”
He snapped out of his state and found Merton staring back at him from a much closer distance than before. His face was about a decimetre from Merton’s face and his tongue had darted out between his lips.
“Is something wrong?” Merton asked “Is it the hair? ‘Cause I was kind off sceptical about it too. Does it look that weird?” He cocked his head to one side and looked at him with questioning eyes. Now Tommy was having a hard time hearing over his own heartbeat and he forced himself to calm down before he wolfed out.
“No it looks fine, Merton” he said his voice wavering a bit. To tell the truth he didn’t notice anything different about the hair. “It’s just that you’ve got some ice cream on your cheek.” He swallowed hard and reached out his hand to swipe it away with his thumb. He concentrated hard on not feeling the warmth and softness of Merton’s skin under his thumb, or the hot air hitting his wrist when he breathed. Too soon the smear was gone and he had to pull away, the wolf protested wildly.
“Thanks” Merton said and smiled one of his cute smiles and then went back to watching the movie. Tommy felt a tingling in his stomach from the smile and heat flowed up his face. He looked down to hide it and noticed he still had ice cream on his thumb. The wolf lurched and he quickly licked the ice cream of his finger. He glanced over at Merton but he didn’t seem to have noticed anything. He looked back at his hand again, or what had been his hand before and now had been replaced by a paw. Tommy shot up from the couch and hid his hand behind him. Merton looked up at him with a confused look.
“What are you doing?” he asked standing up.
“Erm…” Tommy said backing towards the door. “I think I better be going.”
“What, already?” Merton asked following him.
“Ehehehe, yes. My mom didn’t want me to come home late tonight” he said with a shaky voice. Merton frowned at the comment.
“It’s never been a problem before” he looked down at Tommy’s arm and frowned even more.
“Are you wolfing out?”
“Of course not! It’s just that I got a rash on my hand.”
“What kind of rash?” Merton asked and reached out to grab Tommy’s arm. Tommy jumped back and laughed nervously.
“It’s only an allergic reaction to the ice cream. You shouldn’t touch it in case it’s contagious.”
Tommy collided with the door and he desperately clawed for the doorknob. Merton was getting that worried look in his eyes and Tommy really needed to get out of here and cool down.
“Allergic reactions aren’t contagious, Tommy” Merton said and looked at him like he was going insane, which he probably was. Tommy finally got the door to open and he stepped outside.
“Right, see you Monday Merton” he said and then slammed the door in Merton’s very confused face.
Tommy ran. It was the only thing that made sense to him right now. The thoughts were swirling in his head as he tried to come up with a reasonable explanation for it. He figured it probably just was the wolf that was starved for some action and since Merton was the one present at the time he chose him. Or it was just the instinct to clean members of his pack with his tongue. Yeah, that was probably it! Well, except maybe for the fact that his heart had been beating like mad and he had thought that Merton looked cute. He was pretty sure wolfs didn’t have that kind of feelings about other males. Okay then, maybe he just really liked ice cream and his heart was beating because it looked tasty. That didn’t even make sense.
Tommy stopped and tried to catch his breath. He was exhausted from running and thinking. He usually wasn’t the guy trying to figure stuff out. That was Merton and he definitely could not tell him about this. Although, the truth was he already knew the answer to his actions. He was in love and his life could absolutely not get any messier than this. He slumped down onto the ground and tried to relax. He could deal with this tomorrow when he could think properly and his hand wasn’t tingling from where he had touched Merton. And so Tommy Dawkins fell asleep in Emerson forest.
Merton had no idea what had just happened. It seemed to have been a completely normal movie night. And suddenly Tommy had looked at him with that strange glint in his eyes, then he’d started acting weird and then disappeared. He said something about a rash, which probably was the lamest excuse Merton had ever heard. There was something wrong with Tommy and he had no idea what it was. Maybe it was because Merton had started drooling when the mummy came to life, but he’d wiped that away quickly and he had done far more disgusting things in front of Tommy. Then perhaps he was still mad at him because of the incident where he’d almost strangled Stacy with one of the chains on his backpack. But that was yesterday, besides it didn’t seem to go that well for them anyway.
Oh, that was it! Tommy was down because of Stacy and when he’d wiped the ice cream of Merton’s cheek he’d realised that he should be doing that with her and not some weird geek who drooled to movies. Well, that was pretty depressing.
Merton sat down on the couch and watched the final scenes of the movie. He scratched at the spot where Tommy had touched him and an involuntary shiver went through his body. He frowned but decided to let it go. He was probably just getting a bit cold. He changed into his pyjamas and went to bed. Merton fell asleep thinking that this would all be solved by tomorrow.
