———————————–
- You were new to being a newsie
- Your parents kicking you out the second they’d found out you were gay
- When you showed up to the circulation the next day Oscar’s breath seemed to catch in his throat
- He always tried ignoring this feeling but something about you made those feeling stay on his mind all day
- It didn’t take long for everyone to realize Oscar was treating you a whole lot nicer than everyone else
- As soon as it was brought to his attention he seemed to completely change
- You turned into the most picked on newsie of the entire lodging house
- It hadn’t been until a week later that you found out why
- Walking back from a long day of selling you found yourself pinned up against the wall in the alley
- You weren’t surprised to see it was Oscar but your heart started to beat out of your chest nonetheless
- You’d never been this close before and you were sure Oscar was finally going to lay a hand on you
- The entire alley was silent
- Nothing but the sound of people walking by filling your ears
- Oscar didn’t say anything
- Only staring at you with a look of confusion on his face before his lips met yours
- Your eyes almost popped out of your head
- But something about the passion that had been put into the kiss made you melt and kiss back
- The second you started to run your fingers through Oscar’s hair he pulled away quickly
- He gave a small smile before leaving you there
- This had continued on for weeks
- It confused you at first
- Until you realized Oscar was trying to hide who he was
- You couldn’t blame him
- All the times you were pinned up against a wall with both of you speaking quietly to one another made up for it
- A few times you almost forgot about your relationship with each other
- Forgetting that you understood why Oscar would always pick on you along with the other boys
- But one day it seemed to be different
- It seemed as though something pushed Oscar over the edge
- Fighting out in the open leaving you with a good shiner for weeks
- He tried making up for it the night you walked back to the lodging house
- Explaining his father’s suspicions of his late night adventures
- You hadn’t accepted it
- Wanting him to figure out what he truly wanted before ever coming near you again
- To everyone’s surprise a few weeks later Oscar visited the lodging house
- It seemed he figured out what he had wanted
- Kissing you in front of everybody
- Willing to be a newsie just to get you to believe him
- But you were too keen on having surprise visits in your favorite alley to ever allow Oscar to become a newsie
