Two households, both alike in dignity
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
Well that's how the story goes, but this isn't just any old star-crossed lovers story. Shakespeare was fucking wrong! He wasn't going to die and he wasn't going to let his other half stab himself. He would prove that they could survive.
There's a difference between being "in love" with someone and "loving" someone. The first is dangerous, obsessive, and firey. The second is passionate, soulful, and drowning. Both hurt. Both feel like rope burn around your wrists or like a hand around your throat or candle wax on your skin.
That's what it felt like with Sam.
Colby was both in love and loving Sam and he definitely didn't mind drowning in the blonde's waters. But, for now, he was floating, basking in the pleasure.
He didn't used to be this way.
He was the proud eldest son of the Brock family. He had strict rules to follow, though that definitely didn't stop him from breaking a few when he could, but he always tried his best to be a good son.
Unlike what he had heard from the Golbach family.
That family was the exact opposite of Colby's, or so Colby was led to believe. The Golbach's were greedy and thirsty for blood. Colby's father painted a brilliant picture of them when Colby was little and he had imagined them to be grotesque vampire's and hoped he never found them under his bed.
Then, Colby turned twenty one, and his friends all decided they would sneak into a Golbach party, which they were infamous for and believed to be where the Golbach's stole all their money. This party was slightly different than the others as it was a costume party and so they all dressed up in their outfits, but Colby forewent a costume and instead picked up a dark mask designed to look like a wolf. It would hide his identity while he and his friends enjoyed the party. The whole idea was supposed to be for a laugh, a way to say goodbye to Colby's childhood.
But a certain blonde angel stole his breath away.
He felt like a thirteen year old again.
He watched from the other side of the fish tank as the blonde stared back at him, wings shaking slightly on his back as someone pulled him away. Fish darted in and out of the blonde's face, chasing after those gorgeous blue eyes. But the blonde ripped his arm from the other's strength to move closer to the fish tank, to Colby. The fish shook, startled by the movement.
But the other person was persistent and Colby watched as the blonde was pulled away.
Colby went after him.
Colby's pursue of the blonde led him to a balcony some hours later, after dancing back and forth through the crowd for each other. People were leaving the party now, screaming and throwing bottles as the music came to stop inside. Cars reeved outside before disappearing into the night. But, Colby needed to see the blonde angel again.
He pulled himself up on the balcony, quickly finding a very angry blonde angel.
"You!" the blonde hissed, his blue eyes gave away the fact he wasn't angry at Colby entirely, "You're a Brock!"
"Come, Sam," Colby's eyes twinkled as he held onto the side of the balcony to stare up at the angel, "Come fly away with me."
Sam huffed, turning back to look into his house, before coming closer to Colby, "You have no wings, Colby," there was smirk on his face.
Colby wrapped an arm around Sam's waist, "Show me how to fly, then," and let go of his hold on the balcony. Sam's eyes went wide and had no time to react as Colby pulled both of them over the side. Water hit Colby's back as they landed in the pool some feet beneath them.
Rising to the surface, Sam's wings drooped under the water, and he shouldered them awkwardly as he floated before the Brock boy he was supposed to hate, but found he couldn't. He was finding love there instead.
"Colby!" he hissed again, pressing a hand against Colby's nice shirt and pushing the brunette back into the water.
Colby laughed as he sputtered water from his lips.
"You shouldn't be here," Sam found himself moving closer to the other.
"More dangerous this way isn't it?" Colby winked at the blonde and watched as blush danced beautifully across the blonde's pale skin.
"You should leave," Sam turned his gaze to his balcony, waiting for his parents to come see him in the pool with the son of his father's sworn enemy.
"Come with me, Sam," Colby was pouting this time, reaching out to grab Sam's wet hips beneath the surface of the pool. Their legs tangled together beneath them.
The brunette was persistent and brought Sam closer to him. His lips reached for the other, a taste, but Sam pulled away, and instead let their noses caress, "And where would we go, Colby?"
"Anywhere," Colby answered, again trying to kiss the other.
"I barely know you," Sam laughed, placing a hand on the other.
"Then we can spend the rest of our lives getting to know each other," Colby gave up trying and simply stared at the blonde angel, "I already know I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
A soft smile appeared on Sam's face and he leaned forward. Colby felt like a starving man as he closed the distance and kissed the blonde at last. His fingers clenched at Sam's hips, pulling the blonde to him. A groan tickled at his throat. Teeth nibbled at Sam's bottom lip.
The blonde pulled away with a sharp inhale, "Fuck, you kiss by the book."
Colby smiled brightly, "Let me teach you," and pressed his lips to Sam's again.
The blonde tangled his fingers in Colby's hair, pushing his body up against the other in the pool, and letting himself float in Colby's arms. Lips sucked and kissed, bruising as they each tried to practically inhale the other.
Colby pulled away again, raising a hand out of the water to cup the side of Sam's head, "I want to give you the world, Sammy."
Sam nuzzled into the hand, "Let's leave Kansas first and start with L.A."
A wide smile appeared on Colby's face, "Deal," and he pulled Sam back into another kiss.
