The Bad Place

Sometimes Billy felt really awful. He didn't know why except maybe it was because he didn't have anyone to go out with and was quite lonely. It was really awful. Sometimes he felt like he was being stabbed or something because it really hurt even thought it was all in his own mind.

Billy was not gay but he was in love with his friend Dominic, also an actor. They were both working on the movie The Lord of the Rings, which would be a really big movie and they were going to be big stars one day.

One day Billy was in the pub with some of the other guys from the movie when he felt all of a sudden really bad like nobody understood him. Maybe they didn't. He didn't know. After a while he felt better.

One day Billy was on set with Dom, they were doing the ent scenes with the ent. Billy started to feel really awful again. He just felt terrible like he was really really lonely. He'd never felt that way before. Dom was there but he was just joking around as usual. Billy hardly noticed, he felt so sad and lonely. He was really in a bad place.

"What's the matter Billy?" said Dom.

"Ah daen't nae Dommie," said Billy. He looked sad.

One day Billy was in his house, in the kitchen, when he suddenly felt so bad he thought he might kill himself if Dom didn't love him. He decided to phone Dom because he really needed to hear the sound of his friend's voice, even if the Mancunian didn't love him and never could. Maybe then he'd feel better although now he really felt really really awful.

Billy thought maybe he was just tired but he still loved Dom. He decided he really had to call him and so he did.

He called Dom at the Manc actor's house and the younger man answered, but the line was quite bad and Billy could hardly here what his friend was saying.

"Please come over, Dommie," he entreated. "Ah really need to see ye. Ah ... ah kindae miss ye when ye're not aroond."

Dom said yes.

Billy was excited and scared at the same time. Tonight he would tell his best friend he was in love with him! He lit some vanilla-scented candles and poured two glasses of champagne in readiness for the big moment.

But when Dom arrived Billy's nerve failed him. They sat there for ages in front of the TV and Billy couldn't even bring himself to say anything at all.

"What's wrong, Billy?" asked Dom, worriedly.

"Nothin'," replied Billy quietly. He looked quite sad and worried.

Dom came over and sat on the couch next to Billy.

"You haven't told me why the champagne yet, Billy," he remarked. "Special occasion?" he asked, giving his friend a piercing look.

"N-no -- n-nothin' -- Ah--I --" stuttered Billy. He blushed in confusion.

Dom stroked Billy's soft blond hair gently. "You can tell me anythin', you know Billy. We are friends after all."

But Billy was still too scared to say anything about his love for Dom.

Dom looked disappointed, almost as if he knew Billy's secret, although that was impossible.

"I'd better go," he said.

"Aye, I guess ye better had," said Billy softly.

Dom turned to go, but just then Billy cried out:

"Wait!" Dom turned around and Billy said, "Ye cannae drive. Ye've had too much champagne."

"I guess you're right," agreed Dom. "I'd better sleep on the couch tonight."

"Aye," agreed Billy. "Ah think that would be best." He was happy because it meant Dom wouldn' t have to go home and leave him feeling so alone again, like before.

*******

Later that night Billy woke up and felt like he needed a drink of water so he crept into the living room where Dom was sleeping. Billy thought his friend looked so beautiful, even though he was another man and Billy had never felt this way about a man before.

He got onto the sofa with Dom and gently cradled the younger man in his arms. He felt a lot happier than he had for some time, even thought Dom never woke up, but slept peacefully in his friend's arms.

*******

They both woke up when it was light. Dom smiled -- he did not even look surprised to see the Scottish actor there with him!

Billy smiled too. "I love you Dommie. Ah hope ye don't mind," he said.

"No," smiled Dom. "I love you too Billy. I've wanted to tell you for ages but I was afraid you'd be disgusted at the idea of kissing -- perhaps even sleeping with -- another man."

"I don't care, Dommie," said Billy sincerely. "I love you and I never want to be away from you ever again." He kissed his lover softly on the lips, and then they kept on kissing until it was time for both the actors to go to the set for the day's filming.

The End
