danger of love
After school rugby pratice, boys from ever year of every make and shape compete to prove something.Wethere that be for themselves or to others.Some come because there are forced to, overely pushy fathers who want to ' make a man ' out of there sons,
whatever that is suppose to mean.
Some come for the fittness or to impress some girl.They run in the pissing rain,there shirts cling to them in all the right [and wrong] places.Mean while on the side lines, the girls gawk and oogle at the fresh meat infront of them like foxes huntig deer.Whispering about whos the fittest and who'd they love to have in bed, unbeknowest to there boyfriends.
Ezra was different though, he wanted to prove to everyone that he was normal and just like everyone else... what ever ' normal means'.
He wanted everyone to know he loved rugby , sports and chucking things at people for no apparent reason because that was 'cool' and 'manly'.Everything he was not.
His father didnt help.He was a very traditional Irirish man who was in his late 50s.He worked the farm and Ezra helped well tried to whatever he did his father still found something to critque.
Ezra didnt have many friends in rudgby but he did have Dominic. The two were inseparable even in the showers.

Ahh after practice showers Ezras worst nightmare. All he had to do was face the wall and get in and out as fast as you can. The thing was some boys would walk around naked, making jokes and chucking stuff at each other. Thus was fine if you were popular if you were not you kept your head down and showered, hoping no one would call you a ' fag' for accidental eye contact.
Ezra perfered to go last, to avoid all this. Him and Dominic got to chatting while shower opposite each other both facing the wall.
"Good practice Ez you alright though after your fall?" Domic queried as he switched off the shower.
"Fine ..fine ya just sore you know. My backs killing me." Ezra replied as he shampooed his hair further.
"Let me take a look" With out another work Dominic was already over to Ezra staring straight at is back.
"What the hell are you doing " swinging around Ezra nearly fell into Dominic. There was barely any room between them.There chest almost touching. He looked up to him, Ezra was only a few inches shorter but it felt like a million when so close to Dominic. His heart raced faster.
"Just making sure you're okay?".
With that he wiped Ezras long ginger hair out of his eyes. It felt so right but wrong at the same time.All he could hear was his fathers yelling.
"Your a disappointment Ezra. Your no son of mine. I WONT HAVE A-"
Then it happened before he realised it, Dominic placed a small but warm kiss onto his lips. He was so wrapped up in his thoughts he couldn't think straight.
"I'm not you know.. no I'm not . ...no no no thus can't be happening what will my Dad think". His mind rushing with thoughts.
Dominic looked worried probably due to Ezras mixed emotions.
All Ezra could say was,
"I'm... sorry ."
Before he ran away,
Before ran away from the dangers of love.
