I Cannot Stand The Way You Tease

“The name’s Jamie.” He smiled. “It’s a pleasure to meet you Finn.”

“Pleasyre to meet you too

“No, I’d say it was realistic.” He shrugged.

“I can live with that.” He replied truthfully. “I expected to have my heartbroken when I came down here.”

Jamie laughed loudly, shaking his head at Deena’s reaction. Of course he would tell her how it went, the young man just wanted to tease her.

“Calm down, I was just messin’ with ya. It went very well. He’s fuckin’ adorable. An’ yes, we got to first base. Quite a few times if I’m being honest with you.”

Aha! Suddenly their hands were under their chin, eyes wide and features pulled into a  grin. Somewhere behind them Jenny was calling for them to come get their “bloody arse in a suit” but they pretended not to hear. This was far more important. 

Jamie groaned softly at his friend’s words. He rolled his eyes and lit the cigarette that had been hanging out of his mouth for a while. He should have known that Deena wanted to gossip. It was moments like these he wondered why the hell he even went to the damn club. But one look outside reminded him of the answer.

“You should know by this point I’m not one to kiss an’ tell Deena. This is something that stays between us.”

With a dramatic groan they threw their head down, hands up in exasperation. Clearly this was the worst thing ever. If you set two guys up you at least expected to know how things  went between them. Or at least you did if it was the most interesting thing that happened  to you all week. With a pained expression they sat back up again, mock glaring at him.

Jamie laughed loudly, shaking his head at Deena’s reaction. Of course he would tell her how it went, the young man just wanted to tease her.

Jamie didn’t even bother trying to hide how much he liked Charlie. His face lit up, staring at the younger for a moment before he chuckled and looked up at Deena with a raised eyebrow.

“Oh aye, a protege ya say?” He asked. “Wha’ exactly does that entail then?”

Oh my god, they were literally cupid. Charlie was blushing, Jamie had turned at  least 30% more Scottish, always a good sign. They took a moment of smug  satisfaction before turning their attention to the words being spoken to them. 

       “Means I caugh’ ‘im cottaging, y’know by Waterloo where all the          police’ve been sniffing ‘round?” 

They gave Charlie a pat on the arm.

       “Figured he probably didn’t fancy gettin’ arrested any time soon                   so I’m teaching him all the tricks.” 

A quick grin flashed in Jamie’s direction, their attention now firmly on him. 

“Wait, what was I doing?” He asked with a frown, attention finally being drawn away from Jamie. He listened to the other being sighing shakily. He tucked his hair behind his ear, staring back up at Jamie again.

“Ach, I remember when I used to do tha’. T’was a terrible time. But now I just turn to you for boyfriends.” Jamie laughed probably a little too loudly. That was another nervous habit of his. But unlike Charlie he could hide his nerves very well by turning them flirting attempts.

Trying to find a boyfriend in the 1950′s was a complete nightmare, to say the least. Jamie had all but given up trying to do something with his love life, which was when he met Deena. They had been able to hook him up with some guys but it had naturally never worked out.

As soon as he saw Deena, the young man walked over, grinning at her. He had had his eyes on the boy next to them for a while, and now was his chance.

“Hey Deena, good to see you. Who’s your friend?”

Sweat stuck Deena’s shirt to their back uncomfortably, the too-tight swimming costume  they wore to keep their breasts flat starting to chaff ever so slightly. Hardly glamorous,  they thought, but there was still a characteristic grin on their face. It was a Saturday in  the Violet, which meant a drag king performance for Deena (better known as Billy P Ness  on this stage) and drinks for the regulars. They’d just finished their performance and  was chatting to Charlie when an old friend walked over. If possible their grin grew   even wider. Of course, this was perfect, how hadn’t they seen this before? 

Charlie hadn’t been sure exactly what to expect when Deena had taken him to the club. Especially when he heard the name. But he found himself enjoying it, mainly because Deena was damn good at what they did. Of course the night got instantly better the moment Jamie entered the scene. He found himself staring, blushing furiously.

Jamie didn’t even bother trying to hide how much he liked Charlie. His face lit up, staring at the younger for a moment before he chuckled and looked up at Deena with a raised eyebrow.
