CAMP SOMEWHERE
Seventeen


“Joshua…be careful on the highway!” His mother called as he grabbed his keys from the countertop. “And do you have your coat on?”
“Yes, Mom,” Josh said guiltily as he put on his heavy winter coat. He wasn’t planning on wearing it, but the tone of her voice made him feel bad.
“I’ll have dinner waiting when you get back.” Karen Chasez walked out of the kitchen with a smile on her face. “I’m so glad you have a friend coming to visit, Joshua. You’ve seemed so down lately.”
“I’m sure having Lance here will cheer me up,” Josh replied, trying to ignore the flip-flops his stomach was doing.
Josh got into his car and hurried out of the driveway. Lance’s flight would be landing in forty minutes, and the drive from his house to the airport would take a half-hour. He couldn’t believe how much he had missed Lance, and how excited he was to see him. They talked on the phone once a week, and they emailed every day. Josh had been miserable his first few weeks at school, though involvement in theater activities soon cheered him up a little. He was too busy to go visit Lance, and he knew Lance was busy as well, so Christmas break was the first chance he’d really have to see Lance. Lance was staying from December 27th to January 3rd, and Josh planned on making every second count.

Lance wearily walked up the hallway from the plane to the terminal. The flight had been bumpy, and he had been so excited the night before that he couldn’t sleep. He hefted his backpack up as he walked through the doorway. One look at Josh’s smiling face drove every drop of weariness from his body. “Josh.”
“Lance. God.” Josh gave him a long hug, and Lance felt Josh’s lips touch his neck. “You…”
“I know.” Lance squeezed Josh tight, then pulled away.
“You look great.” Josh looked Lance over and sighed. “Amazing.”
“Yeah…you’re a sight for sore eyes, too,” Lance said with a grin.
“C’mon. Let’s get your bags and get outta here.” Josh led the way to the baggage claim and Lance found his two suitcases. They lugged them out to Josh’s car and put them in the trunk. Lance climbed in on the passenger side, and Josh got behind the wheel. They looked at each other.
“I really missed you,” Lance whispered. Josh sighed and leaned towards Lance. They kissed for almost five minutes, relearning everything about the other person’s mouth.
“I missed you, too,” Josh said when they finally broke the kiss.

“So, this is Lance.” Josh’s mother smiled at him when they walked in the door. “Hi, Lance. I’m Karen, Josh’s mom.”
“It’s nice to meet you, Mrs. Chasez,” Lance said, shaking her hand.
“I said, Karen, Lance.” Karen looked at Josh. “Such nice manners…I hope it rubs off.”
“Mom!” Josh said, annoyed.
“I made cheeseburgers for dinner, Lance, I hope that’s okay.”
“That’s more than okay. I’m starving,” Lance said.
“Well, Roy, Josh’s dad, will be home in about fifteen minutes, so why don’t you get settled in until he gets here?”
“Thank you.”
“C’mon.” Josh took one of Lance’s suitcases and led the way up the stairs. “There are two guestrooms, but I thought you’d like this one.” Josh showed Lance a small but neat room. “My room is right next door.”
“Oh, really?” Lance raised an eyebrow.
“Yeah.” Josh closed the door behind them and kissed Lance again.
“Oh, I can’t believe I’m here,” Lance said, sighing happily. “I can’t. I keep thinking that I dreamt you.”
“I’m real.” Josh pressed his body against Lance’s. “And right here.”
“One of the big things that’s a bummer about our relationship is that I can’t brag about you,” Lance said as he unzipped his suitcase. “I mean, if I was a girl, or you were, man, I would TOTALLY be telling everyone. I’d say, “Yeah, he’s in college. A freshman.” But I don’t,” Lance said with a sigh.
“I have something to tell you,” Josh said softly. Lance turned white. “God, Lance, calm down. You get so paranoid.”
“I’ve been so worried all fall that you’d decide to break up with me,” Lance said softly.
“Never,” Josh promised. “But anyway…I have something interesting to tell you. My mom and dad are going to a New Year’s Eve party. They’ll be gone overnight because it’s at some big hotel in DC.”
“Oh,” Lance said. Then his eyes widened. “OH.”
“Yeah.” Josh smiled. “One of my friends is having a party, and we could go, but I thought you might want to stay here.”
“Yeah,” Lance said faintly.
“Boys! Dinner!” Karen called. Josh kissed Lance one more time.
“I’ll let you get washed up.” Josh left the room and Lance went out to the bathroom to wash his hands, trying to imagine what a whole night alone with Josh would be like.
