Kiss
Henry Bowers/Victor Criss/Patrick Hockstetter/Reginald "Belch" Huggins
Henry Bowers/Reginald “Belch” Huggins
Sumary:"Well, Belch, it's your turn, isn't it?"
Belch felt nervous as he stopped in front of a red light, he quickly saw his surroundings, the streets were totally desolate and definitely no one was going to see him, maybe it was the courage that alcohol gave him or the pressure he felt from knowing that his friends had already done it but he didn't think too much about it when he leaned over to Henry and lightly touched his lips with his.
_______________________________________________
They had been drinking at Peter's house taking advantage of the fact that his girlfriend and her parents were out of town, it was rare that everyone could get together since Peter had started dating his girlfriend, the boys were happy to get drunk at Peter's house and catch up.
When the 4 had finally decided to leave, Reginald had agreed to drive them all, while he was driving he listened as Victor and Patrick argued about some nonsense in the back of the car.
Patirck loves to annoy Victor when he is drunk because he gets angry very easily.
"You are a coward." Patrick's mocking voice.
"I'm going to kick your ass." Victor had a drunken grumpy tone that inevitably made Patrick laugh even harder.
"You couldn't, even if you really had the courage."
"Hockstatter if you call me a coward one more time I swear..."
Reginald kept driving, no longer paying attention to his friends' silly discussion, it didn'treally matter because their discussion never ended up in anything important, maybe in the worst case Victor would really give Patrick a black eye, it wouldn't be the first time that someone in the group would hit Patrick for being a jerk.
Reginald had been paying no attention to their conversation for a while when suddenly something in their conversation caught his attention again.
"I'm not afraid of him." Victor's voice this time sounded more serious.
"Henry terrifies you." Patrick said between laughs.
Reginald looked at Henry out of the corner of his eye, he was totally asleep in the passenger seat, then he saw Patrick laughing in the rearview mirror and Victor looking at him as if he was planning to kill him, he was probably thinking about it.

Reginald knew immediately what it was about, Victor had been Henry's best friend all through elementary school and this had only changed during his high school year when Patrick joined the group and while they felt too old to fight over being Henry's best friend.
Patrick and Victor definitely did have a rivalry, Patrick claimed that Victor had become too boring to continue hanging out with Henry and although Victor usually ignored the way Patrick talked about him like he was stupid but Victor this time seemed really angry, because As childish as that was, Victor wanted to remain the closest person to Henry and let Patrick think that the relationship he had for years with Henry was only based on fear, it was a hard punch to his pride.
Victor wasn't like Moose who did whatever Henry wanted fearing a beating, he and Henry had spent hours in detention together, tormenting the kids, being the teachers' nightmare. Patrick was nothing in comparison, Patrick thought he was important to Henry just cause he let him be near but he wasn't as close to Henry as Vic was and he would never be.
Reginald was still looking at the road when out of the corner of his eye he saw how Victor crossed a bit to the seat in front facing Henry, Reginald wondered what the hell he was doing when the cartoonish sound of a kiss was heard throughout the car, immediately afterwards Victor returned to his back seat with a challenging look to see Patrick
"Henry doesn't scare me." His voice was steady despite his drunken state.
Patrick's laughter grew even louder.
"Anyone would do that."
Reginald still hadn't finished processing what had just happened when Patrick approached Henry in the same way and although he didn't see him because he was focused on the road, he knew that he had also just kissed Henry.
Victor started to complain and Patrick kept laughing, the argument continued and Reginald was still deeply confused by what had happened when Patrick's voice took his attention.
"Well, Belch, it's your turn, isn't it?"
Belch felt nervous as he stopped in front of a red light, he quickly saw his surroundings, the streets were totally desolate and definitely no one was going to see him, maybe it was the courage that alcohol gave him or the pressure he felt from knowing that his friends had already done it but he didn't think too much about it when he leaned over to
Henry and lightly touched his lips with his.
He quickly went back to driving.
Victor and Patrick as soon as it happened started making a big racket, which was silly since they had both done literally the same thing, their drunken babble was for a few seconds unintelligible until Patrick's voice suddenly became clear.
"Wow big boy, you really aren't afraid of anything."
"What the hell are you talking about, you guys just did the same thing." Reginald replied
"We kiss his cheek, but it's okay we don't judge, you can do whatever you want Belch." Patrik's thunderous laugh again.
Patrick and Victor were still arguing in an unintelligible way. Reginald's face was completely red.
"Shut up or I'll get both of you out of the car."
"Surely you want to be alone with your boyfriend." Patrick's flirtatious voice made Reginald's cheeks redder.
He stopped the car abruptly.
"Get the fuck off."
"What did I do ?" Vic complained
"You start this shit, down both of you."
The two got out of the car, Victor still complaining that it was all Patrick's fault and Patrick still mocking the situation.
Reginald accelerated as fast as they both got out of the car, he felt so embarrassed, he just wanted to leave Henry at his house and go to sleep.And hopefully no one would mention anything that had happened.
The memory of how for a few seconds his lips touched Henry's made him blush completely, he saw Henry still asleep in the passenger seat, if Patrick told him he didn't want to imagine how he was going to react.
God he would kill Patrick if he said anything.
He finally got to Henry's house, he was just going to wake up Henry when she noticed that Henry wasn't asleep.
"Sorry, did I wake you up?"
"Nah, I couldn't sleep with those two fighting."
Reginald felt a complete chill as he realized that Henry had been awake the entire time.
Henry looked calm, totally drunk and happy. He snuggled into his seat getting closer to Reginald.
"You can just ask for a kiss next time."
Henry smiled before getting out of the car.
