One-Line Excerpt: “Rabbit” Dan corrects, sucking in a breath “It’s a rabbit hole.”
“I mean, don’t get me wrong, Lewis Carroll is a brilliant author and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is an obvious classic...I just can’t over the ‘it was all a dream’ ending, it totally defeats the purpose of all the stuff that came before. You know what I mean?” Dan rambles from across the table.
Meanwhile Nate is sitting on the other side, gaping at Dan as it takes him way too long to answer what he thought was a simple question.
It all begins with the fact that Nate hates studying and loves procrastinating. So one afternoon when the two of them are at a cafe by NYU, Nate asks Dan if he wants to go see Alice in Wonderland at the cinema with him (cause the blonde girl is cute & he knows the two of them like cute blondes).
This turns into Dan explaining that he hates to see movie adaptations of classic novels, which leads to Nate being utterly confused in discovering that a book even exists.
And when Nate makes the mistake of asking “Is the book any good?” Dan presents him with a long-winded, almost-answer that makes him wish he could find a way to shut him up.
And then a thought comes to him. He wonders how Dan would react to...
“Nate, are you listening?” Dan asks.
“Huh?” Nate says “Oh yeah, definitely a classic.”
Nate then takes his chair and slides it around the table so that he’s sitting right next to Dan.
“So tell me more about this book” he says.
“Uhh” Dan begins, looking at Nate peculiarly “Sure...well I guess my favorite part would have to be when Alice encounters the Mad Hatter--”
“Oh, that’s Johnny Depp right?” Nate asks, moving his left hand from the table down to his own lap.
“Yeah, exactly” Dan says.
“Why’s he so angry?” Nate asks. This time, he moves his hand to the place where their two seats are touching.
Dan laughs at his friend’s naivety.
“Well, it’s not that he’s angry, he’s ‘mad’ meaning he’s insane” Dan explains “and the history behind it is actually really cool because hat-makers used to use mercury to...”
And suddenly Nate has taken Dan’s hand and placed it on his thigh.
“Wha? Um, what are you doing?” Dan sputters.
“Shh, don’t cause a scene, buddy” Nate tells him, looking around to see if anyone notices them. When the coast is clear, Nate places his hand on Dan’s thigh and begins to rub it.
“What are you doing?” Dan asks quietly, his face suddenly bright red as he realizes that his body is reacting in a way in shouldn’t (he also realizes he should pull his own hand away, but it feels as if his hand has been superglued to his friend’s thigh).
“Just going down the bunny hole” Nate tells him as he moves his hand over Dan’s jean-clad crotch.
“Rabbit” Dan corrects, sucking in a breath “It’s a rabbit hole.”
“Same diff” Nate says. He continues to rub Dan down in the middle of the cafe, with seemingly no cares in the world.
Meanwhile Dan is caught somewhere between being mortified, confused and turned on. In some ways, this sounds like just another day in the life of Dan Humphrey, but in others it’s very, very different.
“Nate” he says quietly.
“Yeah buddy?” Nate asks in the same hushed tone as he continues to simulate a hand job on his friend.
“Um” Dan says, before sliding his hand over to Nate’s crotch and cupping him “I might do this wrong.”
Nate smiles as his eyes flutter close for a moment.
“That’s the beauty of this, you really can’t do it wrong” he tells him.
“Okay” Dan says, not entirely convinced.
And since he doesn’t know how to proceed, Dan starts to mimic everything he feels Nate doing to him. When Nate squeezes, Dan squeezes; when Nate rubs, Dan rubs; when Nate’s fingers inch down lower to just...that...spot, you can bet that Dan reciprocates.
“What, um, happens at the end?” Dan asks, his voice straining to sound calm.
Nate laughs shakily.
“The same thing that always happens. Just, you know, in your jeans instead of a tissue” he says.
“Right” Dan whispers.
“Any second now” Nate tells him, increasing his speed.
“Yeah--yeah me too” Dan pants.
“Whatever you do, don’t attract attention” Nate says.
Dan nods.
“Okay, okay, okay” he chants.
“Just relax” Nate says.
With that, Dan puts a hand over his mouth and feigns a loud yawn as he finds his release.
Nate follows the clearing of his throat as he slides his chair in to stifle the sound.
Dan pulls his hand away, stunned, and finds relief in Nate doing the same.
“Uh, so, yeah” Dan says after a moment “I think I’m gonna hit the bathroom.”
“Oh cool, I’ll come with you” Nate says.
Dan shoots him a look.
“You will?” Dan asks.
“Yeah and after we can go see that movie. It should be abandoned at this time of day anyways” Nate says, strategically standing up with his book bag in front of his crotch.
Dan thinks about being in a dark, abandoned theater with Nate after what just transpired between them and calculates the probabilities of something like that happening again.
He decides that the probability is quite high and to his utter shock, he’s not as freaked out as he thinks he would be.
“So you coming?” Nate calls over his shoulder.
“Uh, yeah I’m com...you suck, man” Dan tells him.
Nate’s laughs can be heard through out the whole cafe.
FIN.
