Kiss of Dawn-Chapter One
Introduction
Chapter One:
Bam poked his head out between the split in the curtains, brown hair dripping wet. "BULLSHIT!"
"Nope. I heard them talking about it last night. And they're going to tell you as soon as you get your skinny ass out of the shower..."
There was a thud, an "Ow!", and a rattle as Bam pulled the curtain to the side a little bit, clutching his head. "Jesus CHRIST, Jess. You couldn't have told me that a little MORE bluntly?"
Jess hopped off the counter, exiting as Bam got out of the shower, wrapping a towel around his waist as he went to his closet in search of some clean clothes. "Yes. I actually could have, but I chose not to." He turned to face Bam, who was now wearing a pair of jeans. "What the hell did you do to yourself?"
"Nothing. I hit my head on the fucking showerhead."
Jess bit back a laugh, watching Bam pull on an element shirt, covering his tattoo. "That's smart of you. Let's go."
Bam nodded, dashing past his older brother to make his loud and obnoxious way downstairs to the kitchen. April and Phil were waiting there, sipping from mugs of coffee. Bam spotted the coffeemaker, and helped himself to a mug full, turning to watch Jess persue him into the kitchen. "So…is there a REASON you guys woke me up at the fucking ASS-CRACK of dawn?" Bam asked in what was definitely a patronizing tone.
April nodded. "We're taking in a foreign exchange student from Helsinki, Finland."
Bam, even though he already knew that part, choked on his mouthful of coffee, coughing. "The FUCK? WHY? And why FINLAND?"
"It'll be a good experience." April replied simply.
"My ASS." Bam snapped, turning and starting from the kitchen.
"Bam…" April started. When the 18-year old didn't stop, she tried again. "Brandon Cole Margera…"
Bam stopped in the doorway, sighing heavily. "WHAT?"
"Let me finish. You don't even know what he looks like."
Bam frowned, before coming back into the kitchen, grudgingly obeying the glare that Jess was giving him. "Okay. What does he look like?" Bam snapped, making it clear that he didn't want to be there.
April reached for a folder sitting on the table, digging around for a moment, before handing Jess a photo. "This is his most recent school photo."
Bam glanced at it over Jess's shoulder, before giving a double-take and snatching it from his older brother's hand with a "HOLY SHIT!"
The picture was different from the classic school pictures that Bam always had endured. The pose was a bit more flattering, but it was the eyes that immediately caught Bam's attention. They were heavily lined, but the green pigment glowed almost neon in comparison to the milky white skin. A pale pink gloss accented an already full pout, and if he hadn't been told before, Bam would have been convinced that their visitor was a very hot chick. "What's his name?" Burst from his mouth before he could stop himself.
April smiled. "See? I knew you'd warm up to him. His name is Ville Hermanni Valo." She said, stumbling slightly over the Finnish name.
"He's kind of…h-girly…" Bam said, switching words midway when he realized what he'd been about to say.
April frowned. "Don't go telling him that to his face."
Bam frowned. "I'm not that much of a dumbass, Ape." He turned, leaving. Jess followed when Bam shot him a look from the doorway.
"What's up?" Jess asked as the pair entered Bam's room. Bam flopped facedown on his unmade bed as Jess closed the door with his heel.
Bam rolled over to face the ceiling. "Jess…guess what?"
Jess frowned, leaning against the door. "What?"
"You know I'm bi…right?"
Jess shook his head slowly. "I…do now…not that I really mind. What's up?"
"I think Ville's kind of hot…"

"Jonne, you're being unreasonable. I'm coming back, you know that!" Ville frowned, pleading with the angry blonde.
"You don't HAVE to go!" Jonne snapped, earning some startled looks from the others in the terminal. He frowned, lowering his voice. "Do YOU want to go?"
Ville took a step back, hiking his bag up further on his shoulder. "That's not fair, Jonne."
"Answer me."
"Of course I want to go…it's the US! No one our age usually gets this sort of chance."
Jonne frowned. "That's true. But…"
Ville narrowed his eyes, a look of suspicion crossing his elegant features. "What?"
"…Nothing. It's nothing." Jonne shook his head, closing the distance between him and the older Finn.
"Fine. Anything else?"
"Call me when you land." Jonne rose on his toes, planting a light kiss on Ville's cheek, which the latter received somewhat coldly. The blonde backed off, looking hurt.
Ville softened. "Promise."
"You'll actually keep it this time?"
That brought Ville up short. "What?"
"Nothing. Sorry." Jonne shook his head. "Never mind."
"Jonne…"
"No. Just…make sure you call." Jonne turned sharply, starting away.
"Kulta-" Ville frowned, starting after the blonde.
"No. Bye." With that, Jonne turned a corner, vanishing out the terminal doors.
