Rhett’s face after Link referred to a young Rhett as being Gollum-esque.

Inspired by the post going around about the night Rhett and Link drank their strawberry wine together.

Strawberry Wine

Link thinks back to that night often, as evidenced by the number of times he’s brought it up through the years. The wine was gross, they always mention that. They never mention the taste of strawberries on each other’s lips and wandering hands too shaky to convey their dirty intentions. And intentions they had, half spoken in riddles and glances in the weeks leading up to the event they planned. Link still remembers how it played out in his head; he was never brave enough to ask Rhett about his expectations for that night. The problem is, though, no preconceived notions were met. They both had every word of the song memorized, self aware enough to know what it meant. Link had wanted it so badly and he convinced himself Rhett wanted it too, but they gagged over the wine and kissed each other not for the first time and... nothing. Both boys thought they’d come together in the deepest way that night, but they hadn’t. Maybe they weren’t brave enough or they didn’t love each other as much as they thought they did. Maybe the doctrines of their childhood had them too scared. Technically, opportunities arose again, but none so meticulously planned as that. So, Link had remained next to Rhett all these years with the intentions of that night locked up in the back of his mind.

He sits across from Rhett now, gazing at him over a glass of strawberry wine, and decides that maybe tonight he is brave enough.
