Gary Fulmot
Niles Hammet
Set in
[We begin our play in the adolescent bedroom of the young Gary Fulmot, who in a passionate fervor has seduced his life-long companion, Niles, into intercourse. The two fifteen year old boys lay in silence still clutching each other but are confused about what has transpired. Desperately seeking some self-reflection to intepret all these new events and feelings, Niles gets up and turns to leave. Gary grabs his hand...]
Gary: How come every time I feel happy; when I get that feeling that we were eight again and playing. It always has to turn out to be something bad.
{Niles turns to look toward his friend questioningly}
Gary: I know what they say it is. It's some sorta sin, right?
Niles: *sigh* right. And it's like my grandmother told me in church. How God destroyed the cities
for being queer.
Gary: That's not true...
{Niles nods his head; Gary reacts in disbelief}
Gary: Really? Just for making love? God wouldn't do that...
Niles: That's what she said in so many words.
Gary: Nah-uh, It couldn't be that bad. I mean it wasn't like I tricked you or nothin'
and I was as gentle as a lamb. After all, you told me to do it and it wasn't like I could say no
after you pleadin' with me like that to fuck you.
{Niles tries to hide his blushing face}
Gary: You liked it didn't you? And you like me...
{Niles turns back and they stare into each others eyes; He collapses back onto the bed beside Gary and lays a hand on his chest}
Niles: Of course. It hurt really bad at first and I almost yelled, but you kept whispering for me to
stay... I wouldn't have done that for anyone else. Plus, I knew it was wrong. I guess I just
didn't care. Is that bad, Gary?
Gary: No, you just finally got what I've been saying...
Niles: About what?
Gary: About your blue-haired biggot granny being full of shit.
Niles: No, don't say that. She's just old...
Gary: But those kids who busted your nose. Were they old? No, they were same age as you and
me. And you were lucky I was there to rough 'em up before you got into anymore trouble,
otherwise, who knows what they might've done.
{Niles sat up. He gulped and looked around tensly}
Gary: Ya seem upset. Did I say anything? Sure you don't wanna talk about it?
Niles: Not really... I was so scared.
{Gary brushes his face}
Gary: C'mon, now. What of?
{Niles jerks back from his embrace}
Niles: They spat on me, Gary. Knocked me down, kicked me. One suggested peeing on face, and
the others talked about giving me a taste of my own medicine. They yelled that
"Cocksuckers weren't men," -that I was a bitch, a whore, and that God wouldn't witness it
anyway for he'd already turned his back on me.
{Gary hung his head in silence.}
Gary: Don't know what to say to that...
Niles: Of course, you don't! You'd have fucked them up, if it were you.
{Niles stared openly up at the ceiling until tears had begun to well up in his eyes}
Niles: They were gonna rape me! <he exclaimates; and sobs>
Gary: But they didn't, Nilly. Trust me, I wouldn't a let 'em. That slow one, I made him pay bad...
Niles: You busted his jaw; he needed screws
Gary: I woulda done worse had I been there in time. I'm so sorry...
{He held Niles and pressed his face to his; Niles continued to sob on his shoulder}
Gary: I'm so, so sorry, Nilly. But for once you shoulda been strong. You coulda taught them whose boss, I know you could. You read people better than you know and you're a mighty strong
man. The one I love...
Niles: Thanks, but I'm not as strong as you take me for. Here I am crying and complaining over something that didn't even happen. Yet I know what you went through, Gary, and that's why it scared me so bad.
Gary: Then you're not weak. You had a good reason to be scared...
Niles: And I wasn't there for you then...
Gary: No, If you'd have interfered, he'd have killed you. That's why I did what I did. The beatings hurt but I was still alive. He said if I told anyone though he'd kill me the way he did Mom.
Niles: He was a monster, your father.
Gary: He was not my father. Never say that.
Niles: Sorry... Never knew mine.
{There Gary paused and sighed}
Gary: Good. Be grateful. Y'see that's why I don't care.
Niles: Hmm?
Gary: 'Bout God, what he thinks
Niles: But Gary, you went with me every sunday when were eight
Gary: That was to be with you... But I don't care what some headless, bodyless hypocrit thinks
Niles: How can you say that?!
Gary: It's easy to be blasphemin' when you've seen what I've seen.
Niles: So you don't think it was destiny, fate, something cosmic that must've brought us together?
Gary: Nope. We're just a couple of weirdos who like dick.
Niles: Please don't think like that. C'mon...
{And his lover was on top hugging and kissing him all over. Rubbing his neck and giving him hickies and squeezing until it hurt. Finally, after feeling each other's supple frame, both settled down and layed back to stare vacantly into each others eyes}
Gary: I love you... but I hate most people.
Niles: Well, in defense, they haven't given you much reason to feel otherwise. But trust me they can be good sometimes. And my Grandmother loves you like she loves me. She lost my dad in the war and I'm usually all she thinks about.
Gary: You're all I think-
{Suddenly, Gary's stepmother bursts in yelling}
Stepmother: My boy's a faggot! First, I took your computer cuz you were looking at those naked pictures. And now you're in sin with another boy. I don't know what I got to do to straigten you out, but military school's your next stop. You're going to burn and smoke in the fires of hell!
{Gary gets up and retalliates}
Gary: Yeah, well I don't give a fuck, ya fat bitch. No one should care whether or not I suck cock, as long as it makes me happy. You've been sitting in this goddamn house too long; I guess pressin' flowers into your bible and praying is the only satisfaction you got. I'd be just like ya except, oh wait, I got a man. And I know you don't fuck Phil anymore cuz he's complained about to me.
{His stepmom slaps him across the face.}
Gary: Ow!
Niles: Mrs. Devron, please I can explain. Just don't hit him anymore.
{Gary moves quickly foward in anger and raises his fist. Niles moves to grab him and hold him still.}
Gary: Stop! Let go. That stupid cunt's gonna die.
Niles: No! Please, just settle down. I hate fighting!
{His stepmother looks overhead and glares at him}
Stepmother: Hmph! Little basterd.
{She slams the door in his face and walks out.}
[They're laying there in bed, Gary covering the bruise on his face.]
Gary: Hey, Nilly. You still there? You haven't gotten scared and slipped off yet?
Niles: No, never...And I'm not going until she calls the cops. Depending on what time they get here, I'm gonna tell them all about her hitting you and get my granny to call Child services.
Gary: You don't gotta do that.
Niles: You certainly don't know a thing about being in love, do ya? I'm not letting go and I'm staying until the morning if I have to.
{Gary sobs quietly}
Gary:Thank you. I'd call you my best friend but that doesn't even cut it close.
Niles: Brother?
Gary: Lovers' more like it.
{They kiss tenderly and Gary lets out a sigh of relief}
Niles: Well, G'night lover.
Gary: Sweet dreams, Nilly...
