Evan checks the clock on his wrist.
“Where the hell is Tommy?” He asks, raising his voice to be heard in the middle of the third Rihanna song in a row. Over the stage beside them, a few people cheer and drink as they film the party from a better angle.
“I’m sorry, what?” Ravi exclaims, leaning closer, with a red plastic cup in his hand.
“I said, where’s Tommy?!” He yells, louder, and Ravi nods, getting close to Eddie’s ear to pass the question.
“Haven’t seen him!” Eddie answers. “You’re the boyfriend, you should know where your man is!”
“Haven’t seen him either!” Ravi exclaims. “And right here, I should be having four eyer to look after him. This place is crowded with super-hot guys!” Eddie glances at Ravi, who babbles clumsy. “...And girls, of course!”
“Tommy said he would meet us by eleven, at the MEN AT WORK stage, but it’s only five minutes to eleven and no signs of him.” Evan searches in the back pocket of his gray cargo shorts and takes his phone out. “He hadn’t answered my texts either.”
“I’m sure he’ll come.” Eddie says, to calm him. “When did that stupid in-love man leave you waiting?”
“He has a point there.” Ravi assures, wiping some sweat from his forehead. “Man, I don’t know if it the summer sun or the crowdy heat but I’m melting here.”
“Why do you think we all come shirtless here? Only to show off?” Evan smiles, pointing at his glittery bare chest.
“I thought that was the only reason.” Eddie states.
“Well, not... as much, my dear. And you two should join the fun and take those boring shirts off, it’ll make this party more interesting.”
“I’m not... taking my shirt.” Eddie denies, and a pair of accomplice eyes meet his.
“I’ll do it if you do it.” Ravi speaks.
“Oh, c’mon!” Evan yells. “Free yourselves, it’s fun! Look at me, I’m having the best time ever!”
“You’re grumbling Tommy at the distance, Buck.” Eddie says, before a pouty Evan. “Alright, alright.”
Eddie and Ravi pull their shirts off from above their heads, receiving a thirsty whistle coming from Evan, who’s laughing in joy.
“That’s more like it, see? Don’t you feel freer?”
“I feel exposed.” Eddie murmurs, while Ravi is already skipping in his place, at the beating sound of an Anitta’s song, finishing whatever’s left of his drink.
Evan skips along with Ravi, forgetting for a moment what had him concerned.
Another Brazilian song. Evan loves how the music and the energy and the sound of that language fits so well with all the pride parade and party stuff. Only this one, is a little bit slower that the one’s before.
“Evan!” Tommy’s call makes them three look up to the stage. Tommy’s there, about six feet above their heads, bending over the fence, smiley and waving.
“Tommy?” Evan murmurs, still looking up.
“Hey, look!” Ravi exclaims.
“And right on time.” Eddie adds, staring at his watch.
“Evan, baby!” Tommy screams, louder. “I got lost in the crowd, came up here to try to find you guys!” Evan can’t help but smile, totally fond of that beautiful giant in a fuchsia tee-shirt, that looks down at him with the most loving eyes. “You look so hot, baby, I could kiss you right now!”
“Well, you’re gonna have to come down to do that, you’re a little...”
“That’s no problem!” Ravi exclaims.
“Is not?” Eddie asks, glancing at him, as Ravi leans close to whisper something in his ear. Eddie smiles.
“Wait, guys, wha--!” Evan exclaims, when they both come at him. They gesture for Evan to hold to the bottom of the fence and climb on their hands as if they were steps on a stair. “I’m gonna fall down, what are you doing?” He yells, holding strong to the fence.
“Just hold.” Eddie insists, as they tremblingly coordinate to push his whole... huge... massive... weight straight up, until Tommy is able to catch his hands and help with the heavy duty they’re carrying here.
The people around them begin to applause and cheer loud when finally, Tommy can grab Evan from his low back and wrap his shoulder with the other arm, only to meet in a deep, passionate kiss that catches Evan by surprise, and made them all increase the noise.
Eddie and Ravi stay there, arms stretched up, holding Evan’s feet, thanking they’re able to support that much weight due to their jobs.
Evan grabs the fence with all his strength, trying to maintain balance as he kisses Tommy, as their heads tilt from one side to another, their tongues play together in maybe one of the hottest kisses they’ve ever shared in public. Tommy caresses Evan’s back and lowers his hand to his ass, grabbing firmly over the cargo fabric. For a moment he wishes there was no fabric at all.
Between the hard tension in his pants and his tipsy head, Evan can still feel how his feet begin to shake a little stronger.
“Baby-- I’m--”
“I’m hard, too.” Tommy murmurs, rubbing his face next to his ear.
“That, too.” He chuckles. “I’m gonna fall If I don’t come down now, they’re getting tired.”
Eddie and Ravi try their best to help him coming down without losing the grip. When Evan’s on the ground, they sit down on the floor, resting on the stage wall, gasping for air.
“Oh, I wasn’t that heavy, was I?” Evan teases them. “Thank you so much, guys, this was the best moment ever.”
Ravi opens his mouth to speak, but he’s too tired. He needs a drink.
“Well... here comes... Tommy...” Eddie smirks, head against the wall. “Looks it’s gonna... be you and me... for the rest of the... day, buddy.”
