School Grounds, Wednesday afternoon

After the two boys were handwavily gremlin bit earlier in Chris' room, Jack Johnny and Ennis Chris headed outdoors to get to work and do what need's doin' to gather the herd and keep 'em secure on Crackback Mountain.

It was just that Johnny was a bit confused and glancin' over at Chris told him that the ranch hand was pretty much in the same boat.

"Ah, hell, Chris, I don't be seein' them heffer's 'round, do you? And the good Lord strike me dead if this here be Crackback Mountain. I'll be a yankee sumbitch if these here hills be called mountains."

Hands on hips, he glared at the ground.

"You thinkin' real hard over there or are you just as confused as I am?"

[ooc: Chris and Johnny have been, with permission, gremlin bit that was handwavily done. Welcome to Brokeback Mountain, Fandom style. Woot! Feel free to notice, gander, or just plain wtf at the boys.]

"Yeah, you know how it is," Chris said with a shrug. "How about your wife? Her daddy still driving you nuts?"

He rolled his eyes. "Sumthin' like that." Johnny kicked at a rock. "It don't have to be that way, Chris. You know it."

"How many times we been over this, Johnny? I ain't gonna risk either of lives like that."

"But for how long? Every four freakin' years? Once a year? What's that Chris? Uh? That's freakin' nothin' is what that is."

"It's better than bein' dead," Chris said.

Johnny waved his hand before he stuck it back in his pocket. "Don't be tellin' me that story your daddy told you when you was nine. It ain't right, Chris, it just ain't right."

"I know it ain't right, Johnny," Chris said. "But it's the way it is."

"No, I refuse to believe it. We can be up here. Just the two of us. No one has to know. We can find us a quiet cabin. Hell, we can hunt," Johnny said, thinking huntin' was what mattered when it came to eatin'.

"I ain't gonna leave my family," Chris said.

Johnny knew better than to press him either. "I ain't makin' no fire later. I made it last night. Your turn tonight."

"That's fine," Chris said. "And I'm sure we can find plenty o'ways to stay warm."

"I'm sure we can, Chris, I'm sure we can," Johnny said, feeling his cheeks warm.

Chris leaned forward, but pulled away quickly when they were suddenly surrounded by a number of other people.

Johnny was gettin' cranky about all these damn people too. "I swear..."
