Chapter 39 - Hot Leaders
A/N, that title lol
Third Person POV
Caleb's Flashback
Carson and Caleb walked to the Harlem Newsboy Lodging House.
They were talking about how if Haste ever hurt Carson, Caleb would kill him.
Carson had mentioned that Race probably would too.
And this was Caleb's response; "But will he really succeed?"
Carson laughs. "No, but he'll try."
The siblings laughed together, as they rounded the corner.
They immediately saw who they recognized as Arrow, and his second and third.
The three boys immediately spit-shook when they saw each other, before the twins spit-shook with Arrow's second and third.
Caleb noticed that Arrow looked hot in person, and he hadn't noticed that before.
Yeah, his little Gay heart was beating at fifty miles per hour, and he hadn't even known that he could feel this way about boys.
He shrugged it off as their meeting started.
"You didn't bring any backup, boys?" Arrow questions, smirking a bit.
Caleb rolls his eyes. "We're capable enough of taking care of ourselves."
Arrow steps forward, his face less than two centimeters away from Caleb's.
Caleb could feel his hot breath on his cheek, as he spoke. "Oh yeah. And what if I tried to kidnap you right now?"
"Buddy," Carson starts, pushing Arrow away from his blushing brother. "I don't know if you're joking or serious, but we do have weapons on us."
Arrow chuckles. "Probably a good thing. These streets are dangerous."
Caleb rolls his eyes. "We've figured that out, thanks mate."
Arrow chuckles again.
They continued the meeting, and Arrow caught Caleb sneaking looks at him multiple times, as did Caleb with Arrow.
When the meeting was over, Caleb and Carson had started leaving when Carson whispered something that Arrow heard was teasing about maybe having a crush on Arrow to Caleb.
Caleb shouted. "I will murder you, Carse!"
Carson laughs.
Arrow came up behind Caleb before Caleb could attack his twin, and wrapped his arms around Caleb's waist, pulling Caleb against him.
"Let's not go attacking our brothers." Caleb could hear the smirk in Arrow's voice. "No matter what crushes they tease you about."
Caleb turns bright red, forcing himself out of Arrow's arms, and smacking Carson with his hat.
Carson's smirk didn't falter at all, even with the looks Caleb was throwing him and when Caleb smacked him with his hat.
Arrow chuckles, as Caleb forces his brother to leave the area with him, not wanting to be there any longer.
"If you two ever need something, come to Harlem!" Arrow shouts after them.
Caleb pulled Carson around the corner, but that didn't stop Carson from shouting 'Thanks Arrow!'
Arrow chuckles.
His second and third both had smirks on their faces.
He couldn't even deny their thoughts.
End of flashback
Race and Romeo squeal, hugging Caleb, who was sat in between them.
"Oh my God," Caleb groans, bright red. "There are two of them."
The boys chuckle.
"You know," Caleb throws Jack a look. "There can be more if you want there to be."
Caleb laughs sarcastically. "Yeah, let me think about it..." He pauses. "No."
The boys laugh.
"Now kiss!" Race shoves Caleb forward.
Caleb falls onto the very person Race just told him to kiss.
Caleb turns bright red, looking up at Arrow, who smirks.
Arrow cups his face. "Caleb, can I kiss you?"
Caleb thinks for a moment. "Heck it." Caleb grabs Arrow's shirt collar, pulling him into a kiss.
The Newsies around them cheer.
Caleb pulls away after a minute, shrinking to the ground and trying to hide himself in his knees.
They could tell that he was blushing a lot.
Spot turns to Jack. "Can I steal him tonight?" Spot points to Race.
Jack chuckles. "Sure. Have him get papers there tomorrow, and you already know that his selling spot is in Brooklyn. Don't let him get hurt."
Spot nods, smirking at Race, who turns bright red.
"No, thank you." Race responds. "He is really hot without a shirt on."
The boys laugh, and Spot smirks.
Race turns bright red and his eyes widen when he realizes what he said. "Not like that!" Race was so embarrassed that he couldn't function properly. "I mean that heat wise! Not looks!"
The boys laughing didn't help with his embarrassment.
Albert pats Race's back. "Don't worry, Racer. We all know how you feel about Spot."
Race turns even redder, shoving Albert.
Spot gets up, picking Race up and throwing him over his shoulder.
Spot smirks. "I say I'm all set to go to Brooklyn for the night. Thank you everyone."
Race blushes, squeezing his eyes closed. "When did I consent to this?"
"You didn't." Spot pauses, before his smirk grows. "But you don't mind it."
Race didn't even try to defend himself; there was really nothing he could do at this point.
Spot and a few other boys chuckle.
"Can I steal him too?" Arrow questions, pulling Caleb onto his lap.
Carson nods vigorously.
Caleb rolls his eyes. "Just send me away, Carson. I feel so loved sometimes."
Arrow nuzzles his face in Caleb's neck. "I love you, if that helps."
Caleb turns bright red.
Carson laughs. "I went my ship to sail. I see you everyday. You can go one night without me."
"I know for a fact that Arrow's lodge is full. Where will I sleep?" Caleb questions, throwing his brother a 'duh' look.
"I'm pretty sure you could figure that out." Blink comments.
Carson smirks at Caleb, who turns bright red when he realizes it. "No-"
"Get used to it Caleb." Race mumbles from where he was still over Spot's shoulder. "It's the slight problem with having really hot, leader boyfriends."
Race wasn't even bothered by the words coming out of his mouth, because he was already very red.
Caleb rolls his eyes, crossing his arms. "You're all crazy."
The group laughs again.
Bonus
While walking to Queens, Harlem, and Brooklyn, the Higgins siblings each fell asleep on their boyfriends' back or in their boyfriends' arms.
Race was asleep on Spot's back by the time Spot made it back to the Brooklyn Lodge.
Spot took off Race's shoes, flannel, let his suspenders hang from his pants, and took off his hat, before laying him down on the bunk.
Spot took off both of his shirts, his shoes, his hat, and let his suspenders hang from his pants, before laying down with Race.
He was asleep like Race a few minutes later, with Race in his arms.
Carson fell asleep in Haste's arms on their walk back to Queens.
Haste laid him down on his bunk, going to go somewhere else, when Carson grabbed him and mumbled a soft 'stay', so he did.
Caleb almost fell asleep walking when they were walking to the Harlem Lodge, so Arrow picked him up and literally two minutes later, he was asleep in Arrow's arms.
Arrow thought it was cute.
They fell asleep like Race and Spot, except with their legs entangled, and Caleb's head on Arrow's chest.
And if you're wondering, Davey stayed the night at the Manhattan Lodge and stayed with Jack.
Blink and Mush fell asleep on Mush's top bunk together, as did Albert and Finch in Albert's top bunk.
Tommy boy and Henry fell asleep on the couch in the Lodge's front room.
JoJo and Mike fell asleep in Mike's top bunk, and Hotshot and Red came to Manhattan for the night, sleeping in their boyfriends' bottoms bunks.
Elmer fell asleep in Buttons' bottom bunk with him, and Specs and Romeo did the same in Specs' bottom bunk.
Crutchie and Lucky (who is a little if you've forgotten) cuddled in Crutchie's bunk as Lucky had a nightmare and wanted his older (chosen) brother.
