Thad x Miguel, the drabble no one asked for

I don’t normally write like this I’m so sorry  


“Herminia’s livid with you.” Thad announces as he plops down at Miguel’s kitchen table. The French doors had been left open. He set down his seventeen sandwiches, twenty-one waters, and twenty-five cookies on the table. “Well, more like her father is livid, and now she’s mad at you for making her father yell at her for an hour.”

Miguel had been cutting up a squash he’d gotten at the farmer’s market that morning and had not heard Thad come in, so he jumped when Thad spoke. He shook his head slowly, knife still in hand, and muttered. “She doesn’t understand,” He turned back around. “Her poems could help overthrow the Dominican government!”

Thad watched the Spanish moss sway in the trees outside Miguel’s window. “I still don’t think you should have published those poems without telling her you were going to do so. You could’ve put her whole family’s safety on the line!”

Miguel put down the knife this time. “Don’t you understand, Thad? I had to publish those poems! They could mean the future of la patria!”

Thad ignored this random transition into Spanish, but stood. “I think you’re just thinking about yourself and your damned paper. I know it’s been having trouble since the dictatorship started! You just wanted something that would save it!”

Fury roiled behind Miguel’s eyes. He curled and uncurled his fists, before whispering menacingly, “How dare you accuse me of only thinking about the paper. I am thinking of the greater good of this whole country!”

“How can you think about the greater good of the country if you can’t even save loved ones first?” Thad yelled. Tears were welling up in his eyes. “Miguel… You matter to me, and I don’t want you to lose your life because of this ‘Herminia’ business. I…” Thad chokes back his tears. “I love you, Miguel.”

Miguel’s eyes widen. “Thad… I-“

“No.” Thad whispered. “Forget it, Miguel. Just forget it.” He shouldered past Miguel and out the French doors he had walked in a couple minutes before.

Miguel was astonished. Thad loved him? But it was impossible… Miguel was sure that Thad just thought of them as friends… He shook himself out his stupor. What was he doing? Was he going to just let Thad get away? “Thad! Wait!”

But Thad was already back at his fish farm in Minnesota. He was sitting on the skull of a Nasutoceratops which he had found on the farm awhile ago and used to house some of his tilapia.

“Thad!” He heard someone shout from a distance. He squinted toward the horizon; through the thick blankets of Spanish moss that was neither Spanish nor moss he could make out the figure of Miguel sprinting toward him.

As Miguel approached, Thad tried to pretend like he was uninterested in what Miguel was saying by reorganizing his storage containers full of cookies, waters, salads, and sandwiches. Inside, though, his heart fluttered with the prospects of what Miguel might say.

“Thad-“

“What do you want, Miguel?” Thad grumbled.

  “Thad, I’ve loved you since the college project we did together about the wolves that would not look at us, and I’ll love you forever.”

“I-I love you too, Miguel…” Thad whispered, and then Miguel was kissing him hotly and everything was okay. When they pulled away, he whispered, “I call catering out wedding, though.”

Miguel lit up. “We can have our honeymoon in the Mississippi Delta! I hear it’s really wet there this time of year!”

Thad smiled. “I’m so glad we get to spend the rest of our life together, Miguel.”

“Me too, Thad.” Miguel smiled warmly as Thad pecked his cheek. “Me too.”
