Timothy Charlston sat on his rocking chair staring out the window at the woods across the road. He felt different today and yesterday and perhaps even longer. And it had nothing to do with turning 18 years old last week. A fog had surrounded him for the last few months, maybe longer. A growing worry inside his soul had developed. And yet an emptiness resided there as well. Those odd thoughts that came into his heart and soul and with it the fear. A fear greater than all the fears he'd ever experienced.
He heard footsteps on the back stair. It was his twin, Thomas. He and his brother had moved their Ma into what used to be the den on the first floor as she could no longer climb the stairs to the bedroom where she and their late father slept. The footsteps belonged to his brother.
The door opened with a squeak. "Hey Tim, you, okay?"
"I don't feel like me no more. Last couple of months ... "
'"... something nawing at you Tommy?"
"Good word for it. Yeah." Timmy nodded.
"We're going to school like Pa wanted but I don't think that has much to do with what I'm feeling. Tommy".
"You scared?"
His brother nodded. "I hope Ma's gonna be okay when we leave."
"She'll have Penny and since we sold the farm there's not much to do." Tim took a deep breath. "I don't feel right anymore. Like something I've worried about over this past year, and it digs at me and I can't shake it."
Tom dropped his head down, "Did it come all at once?"
"No, but all senior year there's been something in my gut, I hated going to gym class. Feelings I can't or won't understand. Why do I feel this way? It's not about leaving, it's not about the farm or Ma. It's inside of me."
Tom knelt next to the chair Tim sat in. "You're not alone. Maybe because we're twins. I don't know. But I do know that for the sake of our future we have to conquer this fear, this feeling inside of both of us. It's in both of us and whether we want it or not, Timmy, I think we have to accept it and move on."
Tears fell from both brothers. "Why. Why us?"
"I can't answer that. No one can. It is what it is. We're going to be strong cause Pa raised us to be strong and maybe, just we can accept what we are and move on and be the good men we know we are."
"It's one thing, Tommy, being who we are here but going to college scares the hell outta me. There won't be people like us there."
With a big smile. Tommy said, "Are you kidding me? Timmy, we're all over the world, I mean, People like us. Trust me brother. You always have to know that. Believe me, you gotta believe we will meet others like us.
The brother's grabbed each other and hugged tightly. Slowly but surely their lips found each other, and they kissed longingly and lovingly. That night they slept together. Timmy clinging to his brother afraid to let go.
In the morning with suitcases packed, Cousin Penny all moved in, Ma cried. "You be home for Thanksgiving. Cause I'll be making you boys the best Turkey in the whole county."
Cousin Beau got out of his car. "Now come on boys. You don't want to miss your bus to that fancy college of yours."
The old beat-up station wagon took off down the dusty road with Ma and Cousin Penny waving goodbye even when the car was out of sight they kept waving. Ma smiled. "I hope and pray that they not only have a good time but get good educations like Pa wanted for them." "Come one let's go make a nice pie for Beau." Ma said a little pray. "God, watch over them. They're good boys."
The bus ride wasn't too long, and they came to find out several young people in the bus were heading to the same college.
Tim and Tom went through admissions, picked their majors and their classes. Journalism for Tom who wanted to be a news reporter and Tim for Education because he wanted to teach math, which he excelled at as a student.
When they finally got to their assigned room, they found another set of twins sitting on the two beds waiting for them. Both young men stood up.
"Hi, I'm Jerry Fountain." he stuck out his hand. "Hi, I'm Gary." He also stuck out his hand too.
All four boys shook hands with huge smiles all around. Jerry spoke. "We heard there was another set of identical twins like me and brother, Gary. So, we thought maybe it would be an experience if we switched brothers.'
Gary added, "The other room's only a few doors down after the bathroom."
Tom turned to Tim with a big smile. "What do you think, Timmy?" Tim felt suddenly, unexpectedly so at ease and comfortable with the new twins. "Yes. Yes. I would like that. That would be great!"
Tom breathed a sigh of relief. "Jerry, you and me in this room?"
"Makes no never mind to me." Jerry said.
Tim grabbed Gary, "Let's go see our room, Gary."
"Okay, we're next to the bathroom." Together they ran out of the room like best friends with their suitcases in tow.
Slowly Jerry walked over to the dorm door and closed it, then locked it. He seductively walked to Tom and out of pure lust and longing, they began making out. Feeling each other up and down. "I've missed you so much Jerry." Tom kissed his lover's neck passionately.
"Tom, do you think they'd ever figure this out? That we both arranged this?"
Tom laughed. "I don't think so. We just have to make sure they don't get Facebook accounts."
The boys laughed again and kissed. Tom spoke seductively, "I'm wearing your red underwear."
Jerry unbuttoned his jeans. "... and I'm wearing yours." He showed off the white briefs Tom had sent him.
They kissed again.
