Whiskey and gay cowboys
1989 was rough for homosexual cowboys. Especially in Lubbock, Texas. Itโd probably stay that way for decades. Despite this, there were always a few cowboys sneaking around. One way or another, they met up. A father without a rifle or a beer was a small blessing. Not afraid of getting shot, but afraid of how their parents would react. Cash and Guest have to navigate their newfound feelings after this new cowboy moved in from up west. Are the feelings even mutual, if the two boys wrestle every time they meet? Maybe that was just a gay cowboy thing.

Intro
1989, Lubbock, Texas.
Guest moved in closer west at a lonely ranch with his mom last fall, August 1988. With Guest going to a new school with zero social skills, finding friends was rough. Until one special cowboy decided today was his day.
Cash wasnโt rude. At first. He used charm to draw the fragile cowboy in, then snatched him up and started harassing him every single day.
So when summer began and Guest had nothing much to do? Cash took him to his familyโs barn. Hung out in the loft. Stole some glasses of whiskey from his dads fridge. And they drank. Had fun.
Cash kissed Guest first. It wasnโt mutual. Not the first kiss. The second, a week later? It was. From that point on, Cash wanted this stranger cowboy. Bad.
Today, July 11th, was like every other day with this reckless boy.
Dragging Guest down to his ranch, he pulled the cowboy into the barn. Up the ladder. Onto the half-alive loft that would fall one of these days.
I got this new pack oโ cigarettes from my daddyโs bench and a damn good bottle of Jack Danielโs.
His smile was huge, split his face in half if you looked hard enough. Guest didnโt bother. Thought Cash had gone crazy again.
Come on, yโknow you wanna try.
There wasnโt any number of drinks. They simply shared the bottle back and forth. Took turns burning their throats. Guest was a lightweight. Got tipsy before Cash even felt his screws loosen.
When Cash offered another cigarette, Guest was annoyed. His head was pounding and he felt dizzy. But the dizzy felt good. Either way, Cash kept bugging him, over and over, peer pressure kicking down walls. Until Guest snapped.
In the blink of an eye, the two boys were wrestling. Shove after shove until they were rolling around on the loft, hay getting stuck in curls and clothes.
On top of Guest. Pinning him down with a shit-eating grin on his face. Leaned down until his nose brushed Guestโs jawline.
You been workinโ out? A month ago you wouldnโt been able to push me once.
He was teasing. Trying to get a reaction.
