Author: TopazAngel
Title: Take the Plunge
Rating: Umm. PG
Fandom: Dawson’s Creek
Main Character (s): Doug/Jack
Genre: Sorta Angsty-Romancey Drama
Feedback: Please. It’ll make me feel all confident and stuff.
Distribution: Losing Grip…If anyone else wants it…Just let me know!
Spoilers: I guess slight foreshadowing for the finale. If you know what happens with Doug there…You should be okay…And probably even if you don’t. But if you don’t want to have any idea…Don’t read.
Teaser: Doug has thoughts. Set sometime soon after Doug and Jack…Met up. *g*
Disclaimer: Yeah Yeah. I don’t own em. If I did…I certainly would *not* be writing this…I’d be somewhere in my fancy car driving to my fancy house, rolling in the cash from the syndication.
Notes: Don’t know where this came from. Must be my new found love for Doug that I have had since the finale…But I just really wanted to write something about him. Its POV…So might make it extra sucky. *g* Unbeta-ed
Dedication: Tonya. You should never encourage me. See what happens when you do…You have to sit through SUCKY fic. *smirk*
Sometimes I wonder when I realized Pacey was right about me all along. Sometimes I wonder how my annoying little brother could possibly know before I know.
And then I think maybe I knew all along, but I just didn’t want to admit that he could possibly be right.
Because that wasn’t who I was. I was the oldest Witter son. I was the deputy of Capeside. I was the one that everyone liked. I wasn’t a screw up like Pacey. And could never do anything to let down my parents. Especially my father. Because he wasn’t the kind of guy who would say ‘I love you no matter what’. No. Not my dad.
So, I did everything in my power to prove my annoying little brother wrong. Because that seemed like the right thing to do. Because that was the ‘manly’ thing to do. Not because I truly knew in my heart he was wrong. Because that’s probably the biggest lie known to man kind.
Truth is. I guess I really did always know. I just never really knew anyone who might understand. I never had anyone I could really talk to about any of it. No one in my family cared. I didn’t really have any friends to speak of. Not friends that I trusted with this secret anyway.
Until now.
I always knew that there was one other person like me in Capeside, but it was long before I was ever ready to admit that I was even like me, let along tell anyone else. And then one day he moved back into town. So we started talking.
And it was nice.
And I let it slip. And it felt nice just to be able to talk to someone about everything I was thinking and feeling. Someone who really understood what I was going through.
So that brings us to now. Here I am. Ready to take the plunge. To actually tell my family. Not that I am not nervous, but he means that much to me. I am willing to take the risk of being ‘shunned’ by my dad. Mocked by my brother, who will no doubt say ‘I told you so’.
I nervously stand outside the Witter house, shuffling my feet next to him. Ready to announce that he is more than just a friend. I pause for a second, afraid to ring the bell, but he is right there next to me, giving me a reassuring smile.
And I ring the bell. Its really time. I know I can do this. As long as he is next to me.
Its time to take the plunge.
End.
