5: making everlasting memories

billy and stu were on their toes, sitting on the edge of the bed with their feet dangling off. the news broadcaster on the television continued to talk about things that didn't interest them in the slightest. but they weren't there to listen about pointless topics, there was a breaking news story that they couldn't afford to miss.

stu bit the ends of his nails nervously while billy had his eyes glued to that tv screen. you may be asking why would two teenage boys care about watching the news. it's simple really, they're waiting for the story about them.

it was their first kill, and as anxious as they were about getting caught and locked away, they took every procession to make sure no one would ever find out it was them. and by the looks of things everything went according to plan.

"i dunno man, do you think they found her?" stu asks. he peeked outside the open window, making sure there were no swat cars pulled into their driveway.

"of course they did." billy answered while shifting his position on the bed. "there was a fuck ton of police cars flying down the road, where else would they be going?" though stu looked a lot more nervous on the outside, on the inside billy could feel the anticipation getting under his skin. the first police cruiser flew past their place about an hour ago.

every few minutes after that either an ambulance or another cruiser would fly down their street. stu felt the anxiety of the situation bubbling over, questions started to flood his mind with doubts. and though he felt like throwing up, he kept the feeling bottled inside him. this was all for billy, everything was for him. stu had never met this woman before the night they savagely ripped her open.

and yet, wherever billy went he went. stu glanced down at the bed where billy's hand was curled into a fist. oh, what he would have done to hold his hand at that very moment. but stu refrained from doing so. that didn't stop his hand from creeping closer till they were touching pinkies. billy didn't seem to mind or even notice.

"this just in, the body of maureen prescott was just discovered murdered at her home in woodsboro, california. as of right  the killer is still at large, we'll keep you informed as this incident unfolds." though the breaking news was short and mentioned nothing about the masked killer, at that moment they realized they pulled it off.

"yes!" billy cheered, after months of excruciating planning and calculations he had finally done it. "holy shit, we actually pulled it off," stu said with a weak smile. "fuck yeah, we did!" they found themselves smiling at one another, as much as billy wanted to believe he could have done this alone, he couldn't have without stu.

when it was all said and done, the police were still out there looking for them. they had to stay low for the next couple weeks or maybe even years till the story blew over. but that just meant they did it.

stu had never seen billy so excited before, his hazelnut eyes lit up as they intently watched the broadcast. a slight smile curved the ends of his pink lips. while he focused on the news channel, stu admired him.

"i could just kiss you right now," stu says in a hushed whisper which had been drowned out by the sounds of sirens and flashing lights. billy tore his eyes away from the television screen. "what did you say?" billy asks, turning to face his partner in crime.

there was something about the way he looked that possessed stu to act. his mind blurred together and he just went for it. sealing this memorable moment with a kiss. the sweet gesture lasted only a moment, brushing their lips together before pulling away in a hurry.

stu then mentally slapped himself while billy's expression turned into a look of shock. stu knew he messed up. "shit sorry- i thought it was a good time.." billy was still trying to process the kiss, it wasn't expected that his best friend would kiss him out of the blue. he blinked a couple times before trying to find the words.

"you just- what was that for?" billy asked with a string of confusion attached to his words. stu laughed nervously, "it was a stupid joke- just forget about it.." without another word he stood from the bed, billy could tell from the disappointed look on stu's face that it wasn't another one of his jokes.

he couldn't leave, not like this, not now. "hey, i better get going, i'll see you next-" he was caught off guard by a sudden pull on his jacket. yanking him downwards towards the bed and into yet another kiss.

their lips slammed roughly into one another, the kiss quickly escalated when he was shoved hard onto the sheets. stu was quickly pinned with arms to either side of his torso. the kiss was sloppy and far from elegant by neither mind. the session ended once both were deprived of oxygen causing them to become a panting mess.

"fuck that.. you can't just pull shit like that and leave," billy said in between heavy huffs. in that moment stu wasn't sure what to say, stunned by the possibility of billy returning these complicated feelings.

silence washed over the room in waves with the reporters still blabbing on about the news headlines. "can you.." billy uttered, "can you stay with me.. just for tonight?" he asked after the quietness between them washed away.

as much as he wanted to pretend like everything was okay, he was paranoid about getting caught. he didn't want to get locked away in a cell for the rest of his life or executed for his crimes. stu felt his heart warm as he wrapped his arms around the boy on top of him.

stu held him close, curving their bodies against one another and leaving no room for anything to come between them.

"i mean if they do end up catching us, i want to be with you." he mumbled into the fabric of stu's shirt. noticing how cringe that sounded once it left his lips. stu chuckles at the excuses before lifting billy's chin with two fingers.

"..if that's alright with you." billy followed up. stu placed a quick peck on the smaller boy's lip before laying back. "i don't mind at all," stu answered with a soft smile.

the rest of the night was spent cuddling against one another for warmth and comfort. they stayed like that before eventually dozing off.
