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.]

"Unless my mama kept secrets, I ain't got a brother," Chris said.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Wyatt said, eyes narrowing. "Just who are you?"

"My name's Chris," he replied, tipping his hat. "This here's my pal, Johnny, and we're up here on Crackback Mountain herdin' heffers. 'Cept we seem to have misplaced 'em."

Wyatt sighed and facepalmed. "Okay. You're either possessed or you have an alternate universe version of you who's a cowboy. Either is pretty much equally likely."

"Son, you're talkin' crazy," Chris said. "The mountain ain't no place for that kind of thing."

"I'm older than you, don't call me 'son,'" Wyatt said. He looked from Chris and his impossibly tight pants to Johnny. "So . . . you two partners or something?"

Chris narrowed his eyes. "Johnny and me take care of the herd together. That's it. Nothing else."

He might have been protesting a wee bit much.
blessed_twice: (Wyatt is staring at you and thinking)

[personal profile] blessed_twice 2007-12-12 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
"No need to get defensive," Wyatt said. "All I asked was if you're partners, not if you're both big gay cowboys or something."

"People been spreadin' nasty lies about me and Johnny?" Chris accused. "No one knows what really happened on that mountain but me and him."

[personal profile] blessed_twice 2007-12-12 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Wyatt's face lit up. "Oh, really, now?" he said. "Gets awfully lonely up there on the mountain, doesn't it?"

[identity profile] neurotic-witch.livejournal.com 2007-12-12 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"We ain't nothin' but friends," Chris lied through his teeth.
blessed_twice: (Wyatt is laughing in black and white)

[personal profile] blessed_twice 2007-12-12 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"Friends with benefits?" Wyatt said slyly.

[identity profile] neurotic-witch.livejournal.com 2007-12-12 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't know what that means."

[personal profile] blessed_twice 2007-12-12 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"You know," Wyatt snickered. "You give each other warmth and comfort up there on that lonely cold mountain."

"It ain't right for two men to do that kind of thing."

[personal profile] blessed_twice 2007-12-12 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm from San Francisco, dude," Wyatt said. "Two men do that kind of thing all the time. Or two women." He did not go into two men and one woman, because that would bring to mind his aunt and her boyfriends, and therein lay ick.

Chris looked at Wyatt thoughtfully. "Is that right?"

[personal profile] blessed_twice 2007-12-12 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," Wyatt said. "One of the first places to allow gay marriage and everything. Now it's legal all over. Well, now where we're from, not now now."

"So two men who were in a relationship wouldn't get beat up there?" Chris asked.

[personal profile] blessed_twice 2007-12-13 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
"Or here," Wyatt said. "There are plenty of guys here who are totally involved with each other."

He was totally going to hell for this, but it was worth it.

"Well ain't that just interesting," Chris said, rubbing his chin and casting a thoughtful glance in Johnny's direction.

[personal profile] blessed_twice 2007-12-13 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
"I could introduce you to Ronan," Wyatt suggested helpfully. "I'm sure you'd get along great."

"Nice as that sounds, I need to be findin' my cows," Chris said.

[personal profile] blessed_twice 2007-12-13 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
"Sure, you do that," Wyatt snickered.

Chris tipped his hat. "G'day."
