Elmer being Polish and his last name being Warhol

The World Will Know; Chapter 1 (Not full thing, just beginning)

Four years ago, Senior High School year for Race and Spot

Spot sat in the meeting, bored out of their mind. Spot was new here, he barely knew anyone, hell, even where to go. He sat on the floor eying a guy up ahead, laughing with some friends. As he gets up, they walked in their direction, eyes on the ground, scared to make eye contact. Suddenly, he feels a hand grab his shoulder. “Hey, I really likes yer hair!” The hypnotic voice urges Spot to turn around, awestruck by this guys face. “Uh.. Thanks! Yer hair is really nice!” Spot manages to get out. “My name’s Anthony, by the way! Everyone calls me Race though, and it definitely ain’t because my family forgot me at the horse race once!” Race chuckled. Goddamnit, either kill me or kiss me. “Spot. I’ll see you around?” “Definitely!” Race says. Man, those eyes. Those lips, goddamn, that voice. Spot walked to class, unable to get that face out of his mind. 

Spot looks at his phone, unsure if this is the right place. Seems like a theatre, yeah, ya know, that’s what the sign says, but what if there are multiple. Then he hears that fucking voice. “Spot!!” Spot turns around, with no surprise to see Race there. Of course he’s a goddamn theatre kid. “Hey Race. How ya doin’?” “God, I had the worst math class right before this. I ain’t able to stand another word about division.  But what about ya?” “Eh. English, ya know?” Spot has this specific look of disdain on his face. “So, I’m in the right place?” “Yup!” Race chirped, “C’mon!” Race grabbed Spots arm and dragged him in. A light blush spread across Spots face before entering the dark room. A familiar warmth enveloped him, the joy of past shows, even in a new place and with new people, echoed within him. “Hey! Hey! Medda! I gots us a new one!” Race waves over the teacher. “Ah, Spot!” Spot nodded. “Race… Medda is my homeroom teacher.” Race flushed, absolutely upset. “Sorry Spot, thought I could be helpful…” Man, this boy, I just want to kiss him. “Hey hey, it’s alright Race! Ain’t the first time someone’s done something like this!” Spot smiled at Race, and Race looked back at him, smiling slightly. 

Modern Day, Junior year college

Spot woke up, next to Race. Spot smiled, still thinking about his dream, and how much he and Race have grown since then. Not even just as people, but with each other. Four years ago Spot couldn’t have said the word gay without whispering, and now the two of them have a gay pride flag above their bed. Four years ago, if he told someone they were trans, fae would have a panic attack about the intensity of Pompeii (Oh god, that dreams bringing him back to high school history). He looked down at Race again. Race was all sprawled out on the bed, dreaming away peacefully, mumbling occasionally. Spot picked up his phone and gasped before covering his mouth. “Oh my lord. How could I forget?” He mumbled under his breath. He gave Race a little peck on the forehead before heading to the kitchen. It was Race’s birthday. Fae had baked a cake last night before going to bed, and took it out of the fridge. The words “Happy Birthday Racer, my love” were messily put on the cake. God, why do I have to be so bad at icing… Spot thought before pouring a glass of orange juice, and preparing coffee just the way Race liked it. A latte with vanilla syrup and three spoons of sugar. Spot smiled, Hey, at least his coffee is as sweet as him. Of course Spot would never let Race know what he thought about him in as much detail as he knew, but it was good to let it show once at a time. He trimmed the flowers in the window, grabbing the roses and some lavender for Race. Race dealt with so much stress, so Spot started growing some lavender to make him tea, oils, and baked goods. He put the cake, coffee, and orange juice on a platter. He went back into the bedroom and gave Race some kisses on his forehead. “Hey Doll, why dont’cha wake up?” Race groaned, “Ahh, but warmth…” “Yea, but what about coffee?” Race snapped up. “Coffee? AND CAKE?” Spot chuckled. “Of course darlin’, I ain’t gonna do nothin for yer birthday!” Race blinked. “My birthday?” Spot laughed, “Yea, yer birthday!” “God, why is my birthday on a weekday, I don’t want to go to school…” Race whined. “Exactly love, that’s why I got plans for us today.” Race hugged Spot, “You’re amazin’ doll, I could never ask for better boyfriend!” 

Later that day, at the Betsy Head Park

Spot had a picnic planned that day for Race, and got a bee blanket, PB and J’s, as well as some more flowers and of course, coffee. “Spottie, how come I got such an amazin’ boyfriend?” Race asked. Spot chuckled, covering his face. “I don’t know… Hmmmm… it ain’t because a handsome boy came up to me one day and said he liked my hair, and I became absolutely obsessed and he helped me in a new school and then now he pretends like he’s absolute garbage.” “Hey, I ain’t absolute garbage… I’m absolute trash!” Race chuckled. “Oh Racey, you ain’t trash, or garbage! Yer so pretty, and I absolute adore you.” Spot held Race’s face, and gave him a kiss. Race chuckled and said “Hey, just like our first kiss! Ya bout to say ‘Whoa!’ again?” Spot laughed, “Racey, ya know that ya literally held mistletoe up and then kissed me? Of course I’d say ‘Whoa’, look at ya!” Spots phone started ringing, and Race picked it up. “Hey, it’s Jack!” Race answered, “Jackie boy!” Davey appeared on the screen, “Hey, only I can call him that!” Jack chuckled, and gave Davey a kiss. “Happy birthday Race! Can’t believe it, yer so old! 21… Jeez, when do you go to a retirement home again?” Race frowned, “Hey, yer 21 too!” Davey laughed and said “Haha! Spot’s still the youngest!” Spot gasped “Hey dumbass, ain’t my fault!! I wish I came out when I was supposed to!” Race gave him a kiss and said “I know doll, I know…”  “Davey, ya know Spot’s sensitive that he’s small! And yer only 9 days younger than them!” Jack said. “Thank ya Jack. See Davey, not everyone is mean about me being tiny!” Jack laughed, “Anyway, I won’t interrupt yer date no more, happy birthday Race, I got ya some cigars when I see ya next. They’s Coronas!” Race gasped “Oh my god, why didn’t I get with you?” Everyone chuckled. “Okay, see ya tomorrow you two!” Spot said. They hung up, and Race lay down. Spot lay down next to him. “Good birthday so far?” “Any day with you is a good day.”

9 pm, back at the apartment

Race heard a knock at the door, and got it as Spot was in the shower. “Makin’ me walk on my birthday… Shame on him…” Race joked. They opened the door to see Crutchie and Elmer. “Crutchie! Elms! How are yers?” “We’re good! Happy birthday Race!” Elmer said. “Come on in! Spot’s in the shower but should be out soon.” The rush of water stopped right after they said that. Spot walked out, towel around waist. “Crutch! Elmer! So sorry, lemme at least get pants on!” Spot laughed. He went into the bedroom and changed. Race turned back to the two and sighed, “God, I love my boyfriend, he’s so hot.” Elmer laughed, “It’s very true, but so’s Finch…” Crutchie laughed “Elms, ya gotta either get him, or get over him.” “I know, but I get all stuttery and I switch back to Polish when I see him and-” Crutchie hugged Elmer. “I know, it’ll be okay!” Spot came back in. “How ‘bout some dinner? We have some left over Pad Thai!” Elmer gaped, “Oh my god, yes! Lord, if only Specs were here, he’d go feral!” Spot and Race laughed, and Race said “There’s a reason we only make this when Specs ain’t here, otherwise there’s none for anyone else!”

11 pm, in Spot and Race’s bedroom

Spot cuddled up into Race and looked at him. “Good birthday?” “Absolutely doll. You make it great every year, just wait till yours!” Spot gasped “Oh, god please no, just get me a fun rock.” They chuckled, and settled down as they fell asleep.
