WotW, Thursday

Lucas arrived at work late.

And shirtless.

It wasn't his fault the seagulls attacked and took his shirt away from him. He was lucky not to have been injured in the process.

Kevin was looking to knock a few balls around. The shirtless guy selling tickets was just a bonus. He took off his shirt, despite the chill weather, and walked up to booth.

"Hey, there. Um, I guess I just need one ticket, being that I'm single now and out by myself."

Lucas wasn't shirtless by choice here. But he was working a ball polisher when Kevin walked up.

"Sure," he pointed to the sign listing the prices. "What color ball would you like?"

[my-tragic-past.livejournal.com]

"Anything but blue," Kevin said, smirking. "Do you want to play a round with me? That is, if you're not to busy polishing your balls."

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

"I can polish balls anytime," Lucas shrugged, tossing Kevin a shiny pink ball. "I could probably find time to play a couple holes."

[my-tragic-past.livejournal.com]

Kevin grinned. "So where do I pick up a putter?"

Damn, this guy was cute.

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

"Well," Lucas moved to the other side of the counter to show Kevin the choices. "We've got a few different sizes here, depending on how you like your grip."

Golf was dirty.

[my-tragic-past.livejournal.com]

"I like to adjust my grip," Kevin said, picking out a putter that seemed to be about the right size. "You know, depending on the guy I'm playing with."

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

Lucas smiled as he selected his usual putter, not really sure he understood but it was rare for him to have company at work so he pretended like he did. "Don't worry, this course isn't all that hard."

[my-tragic-past.livejournal.com]

"Maybe we can make the game more... interesting," Kevin suggested.

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

"Howso?" Lucas asked, not really having much money to bet.

[my-tragic-past.livejournal.com]

Kevin shrugged. "Nothing major," he said. "If you win a hole, I'll polish a few balls for you. If I win, I get to make out with you."

Seemed like a good wager to him. "Or, you know, something else."

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

Lucas was surprised. "You want to make out with me?"

[my-tragic-past.livejournal.com]

Who wouldn't want to make out with him. Kevin ducked his head a bit. "Dude, you're fucking adorable. I mean, if you're not cool with it, I understand."

He really needed to keep reminding himself that not everyone was gay around here. Though, really, thes guy did look like he should at least be a touch curious.

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

Lucas blushed red. "No, I'm cool. Just surprised." And he was. "Um. So we should play then."

Because he was really focused on being able to win here.

[my-tragic-past.livejournal.com]

"Awesome." Kevin was pleasantly surprised. He eyed the course, wondering how many holes it would take before they were looking for someplace a little more... private.

"Don't worry, I'm not very good at miniature golf," he lied.

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

Lucas stepped toward the first hole, "So, you do this sort of thing often?"

[my-tragic-past.livejournal.com]

"No, this is the first time I've been here," Kevin said. "I jog past it almost every morning. Just thought today was a good day to come finally check it out. Can't say I'm disappointed." He said this from a few steps behind Lucas, enjoying the view as they headed toward the hole.

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

Totally wasn't what Lucas meant. "I'm surprised I haven't seen you go by before."

He set his ball on the starting point and turned back questioningly. "Mind if I go first?"

[my-tragic-past.livejournal.com]

"Go for it man." He didn't mind a moment to size up the competition.

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

By this point, Lucas should know all the tricks of the course. However, with Kevin watching like that, he was having some focusing trouble, causing him to hit his ball too hard off the side of the pyramid. It landed nowhere near the hole. "Huh. Must be having an off day."

[my-tragic-past.livejournal.com]

Kevin grinned, thinking Lucas had purposefully done poorly. He stepped up and lined up his shot, banking it off the base of the Sphinx. It rolled to within half a foot of the hole.

"Must be my lucky day."

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

"Maybe my luck will improve," Lucas said, taking a whack at his ball and sending it closer to the hole, but he'd still need at least one more shot.

[my-tragic-past.livejournal.com]

Kevin tapped his ball in. "I'm thinking it just did," Kevin stated, resisting the urge to wink at Lucas.

He stood back to give the other boy plenty of room to make his last shot.

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

Lucas laughed as he tapped his own ball in. "There's a lot of holes for me to make up for this." Not that they'd actually said a whole game. Huh.

[my-tragic-past.livejournal.com]

"The question now is, are we going to take a pay as we go approach, or save it all up till the end. Because I'm pretty sure I just won a make-out session." Kevin was feeling pretty good about the terms they had agreed on.

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

"Um." Lucas didn't know what to say. If he saved it up, who knew what he'd end up doing on the 18th hole. "I don't think we said before." He was shoving that ball right back into Kevin's court.

[my-tragic-past.livejournal.com]

Kevin took a hesitant step towards Lucas, surprised to find himself a touch nervous. "Well, um, I don't see any reason to wait."

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

It was almost nice to notice that Kevin was hesitant. "You know, I've never kissed a guy before. Especially one from auto shop class."

[my-tragic-past.livejournal.com]

Kevin laughed. "Yeah, I guess I do break a few stereotypes." He looked down at his feet and then back up at Lucas. "I don't want to force you to do something you're uncomfortable with," he lied.

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

"I'm not uncomfortable," Lucas started. "I mean...it's something I've wondered about and this is a chance I think I should take."

[my-tragic-past.livejournal.com]

Kevin reached out to place a hand on Lucas' shoulder, moving so that there were only a few inches between them. "You're really... hot," he said, wincing slightly at how lame it sounded. "Like seriously."

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

At least they were equally shirtless. It was different somehow, having a larger, stronger hand on his shoulder in a way that wasn't sports-related.

"Like literally?" He made no attempt to back away from the closeness.

[my-tragic-past.livejournal.com]

"Like..." He leaned in and kissed Lucas, starting off very softly. Tender wasn't normally Kevin's style, but it just felt right.

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

Lucas was surprised by how soft Kevin's lips were. So surprised that he started kissing him back.

[my-tragic-past.livejournal.com]

Now that was encouraging. Kevin's hand slipped down to Lucas' back, pulling him in more tightly. He resisted slipping Lucas the tongue, wanting the other boy to take the lead on this.

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

His skin warming at Kevin's touch, Lucas really couldn't help deepening the kiss slightly. It was just a taste to see. Nothing serious.

[my-tragic-past.livejournal.com]

Okay, so maybe he wouldn't hold back so much. His tongue slipped out and ran across Lucas' lips. He wasn't going to try and force it into the other boy's mouth, but if the opportunity presented itself...

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

Lucas stepped back slightly, breaking the kiss. He cleared his throat. "So, on to the Golden Gate?"

[my-tragic-past.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, sure, um... Yeah." Kevin was a touch breathless. He located his putter and grabbed the shiny pink ball out of the hole.

"So, I go first this time?"

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

"Sure, it's only fair," Lucas replied, running a hand through his hair and wondering what he'd just done and why he'd enjoyed it. Especially when Lana'd been so convinced he didn't like guys.

[my-tragic-past.livejournal.com]

Kevin reached down to adjust himself, not wanting to scare Lucas off with his hard on.

"I should have warned you," he said, "I'm actually a pretty freaking awesome mini-golfer." Those skills were not evident in his next shot, though. The ball bounced off the back bumper and roller virtually all the way back to the front of the bridge.

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

Watching, Lucas couldn't help but smirk just a little. "This course throws everyone sometimes." Like the first hole had done to him, right.

He took his shot, sending his ball perfectly into the hole. "Huh. Hole in one."

[my-tragic-past.livejournal.com]

Kevin couldn't help but laugh. It took him two more strokes to sink the ball.

"So, uh, maybe I'm a touch rusty." His disappointment at not getting to kiss Lucas again was evident in his expression.

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

"You wanna polish some balls now or later?" Lucas offered, oddly attracted by those disappointed eyes.

[my-tragic-past.livejournal.com]

Kevin bit his bottom lip, looked around, and stepped back into a convenient alcove next to the cascading Niagara water feature. He dropped to his knees. "Now's good."

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

Lucas stepped toward him. "The polisher's back at the ticket booth," he said, pointing his thumb in that direction confusedly.

[my-tragic-past.livejournal.com]

Kevin reached out and slid his fingers down Lucas' waistband, pulling him in. "Those aren't the balls I'm looking to polish."

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

Lucas gulped as he let himself be pulled forward by Kevin's very able and long fingers.

They were only at hole two, after all.
