Writing Challenge – Treat Yourself

Challenge: Write something that only you understand and that probably only you enjoy.

Listen to your Id. Be naughty! Be coded. Be fun. Comment on your work as you do it. Break and forget any and every rule except that writing can be FUN. F-U-N!
Crack yourself up. Fall in love with yourself again.
Masturbatory writing can unleash some wonderful creative energies. Treat yourself.

TV BOYFRIEND

Two men in bed.  Close to the climax of intercourse.

On top, plowing enthusiastically for all he’s worth, JAKE – early to mid 20s, athletic, scruff, tattoos.

Below Jake, KEN – mid to late 40s – not at Jake’s level physically, but taking Jake’s thrusts like a champ.

                          KEN
Jake!

                          JAKE
Oh.  My.  God.

                          KEN
God, Jake!

                          JAKE
So.  Fuckin’.  Good.

                          KEN
Jake!

                          JAKE
I.  Love.  You.

Both men reach orgasm.

JAKE keeps going for a little while.

KEN clutches Jake tightly as they slow to a stop.

JAKE collapses on top of Ken.

They both exhale, smile, laugh.

                          KEN
Holy shit.

                          JAKE
Did I make you come without touching yourself?

                          KEN
Yeah.

                          JAKE
I fuckin’ LOVE doing that.

                          KEN
I am also a fan, believe me.

                          JAKE
You OK under there?

                          KEN
You know I love the weight of you on top of me.

                          JAKE
Yeah, but I like hearing you say it.

KEN kisses JAKE every couple of words.

                          KEN
I love. The weight. Of you. On top of me.

KEN grabs JAKE’s ass and pulls him in closer.

                          KEN (cont’d)
I also love the feel of having you inside me.

                          JAKE
I am also a fan.

                          JAKE kisses KEN

                          JAKE (cont’d)
Say it?

                          KEN
I love you.

                          JAKE
I love you, too.

                          KEN
So what’s up?

                          JAKE waggles his eyebrows.

                          KEN (cont’d)
Aside from you.

                          JAKE
And you.

                          KEN
And me.
You don’t normally plow me like a demon first thing in the morning unless –

                          JAKE
I’ve only got you all to myself for another day.

                          KEN
Nothing else?

                          JAKE
That’s plenty.

                          KEN
That it is.
I’m so proud of you.

                          JAKE
‘Bout time.  I’ve been a coward.

                          They sit up in bed.

                          KEN
Hey, don’t talk about my guy that way.

                          JAKE
Your guy.

                          KEN
That’s the smile I was looking for.

                          JAKE
My sister wants to meet you.

                          KEN
See, you think I can’t read you, but –

                          JAKE
Guilty.

                          KEN
She knows I’m a guy right.

                          JAKE
Yeah, she knows you’re a guy.  She’s the first person in the family I came out to.

                          KEN
Big sis smoothed the way with the parents?

                          JAKE
Yup.

                          KEN
So she wants to make sure I’m not a gold digger.

                          JAKE
What?  No.

                          KEN gives JAKE a look.

                          JAKE (cont’d)
Well – kinda.

                          KEN
I don’t blame her.
She knows about the age difference?

                          JAKE
Yeah.

                          KEN
Yeah?

                          JAKE
I said you were older.

                          KEN
Did you say how much older?

                          JAKE
Not exactly.

                          KEN
Jake.

                          JAKE
You don’t look your age.

                          KEN
But I’m twice your age.

                          JAKE
You carry it well.

                          KEN
I’m not gonna lie to her.

                          JAKE
I don’t expect you to.

                          KEN
You don’t think she’s going to be a little shocked?

                          JAKE
I didn’t want her to pre-judge you.

                          KEN
The creepy old dude recruiting her younger brother to the dark side?

                          JAKE
Kinda.  But you’re not.

                          KEN laughs.

                          KEN
Thanks.

                          JAKE
Don’t be mad.

                          KEN
I’m not.  Honest.  I’m just picturing her face.

JAKE finally relaxes a little.

                          KEN (cont’d)
It’s OK, really.
You’re carrying a lot.  I can do this.

                          JAKE
Thanks.

KEN reaches for the box of condoms.  It’s a large box.
He shakes it.
It’s empty.

                          KEN
Good Lord, how can it be empty already?

                          JAKE
You lost count?

                          KEN
I don’t keep score, I just enjoy the ride.
Guess we need another trip to the drug store.

                          JAKE
     (sheepishly)
I got three boxes.

                          KEN
Three?  How much did you think you’d need to soften me up for your sister?

                          JAKE
I’ve only got you all to myself for another day.  I wanted to stay in.

                          KEN
We’ll need food.  I’m starving.

                          JAKE
I ordered a pizza.

                          KEN
When?

                          JAKE
Last bathroom break.

                          KEN
I love you.
Wait, did you time this last go round to the imminent pizza delivery?

                          JAKE
No.  I’m not rushing anything today.  We got time.
Well –

                          KEN
Well, what?

                          JAKE
Jasper’s coming over.

                          KEN
Now?

                          JAKE
Any second, actually.

                          KEN
Why?

                          JAKE
I wanted to freak him out.

                          KEN
Were you hoping we’d still be doing it?

                          JAKE
Nah.
Maybe a little.
He has a key.  I told him he could use it this morning if I was asleep.

                          KEN
He doesn’t know?

                          JAKE
He doesn’t know.

                          KEN
C’mon.  He’s your teammate.  I mean, he’s –

                          JAKE
Not the sharpest sky pole on the slopes?

                          KEN
He’s not clueless.

We hear JASPER let himself in off-stage.

                          JASPER
Brah!

                          JAKE
We’re about to find out.

KEN plays along, hides under the sheets.

                          JAKE (cont’d)
In here, brah!

                          JASPER
You got a lady in there?

                          JAKE
No lady.

                          JASPER
I don’t believe you.

                          JAKE
See for yourself.

JASPER enters – also 20s, athletic, scruffy.  A guy very comfortable in his own skin.

                          JASPER
A ha.  Caught you.  You should have told me, Jakey.  I could have given you some more time.

                          JAKE
No worries.

JAKE shakes the condom box.

                          JAKE (cont’d)
Gotta resupply.

                          JASPER
My man!
Oh, she asleep?

                          JAKE
No.

                          JASPER
Shy?

                          JAKE
Introduce yourself.

                          JASPER
Hello, my lady.  My name is –

KEN comes out from under the sheet.

                          JASPER (cont’d)
Ah!
Dude!
That’s a dude!
Oh.
Funny.
Wait.
Not funny.

                          KEN
Not funny.  I’m Ken.
Nice to meet you Jasper.
Sorry.  He wanted to fuck with you.
Er, surprise you.

                          JASPER
Dude?

                          JAKE
You’re really surprised?

                          JASPER
Isn’t your sister coming today?

                          JAKE
Yeah.

                          JASPER
Oh.  So he’s important.

                          JAKE
Yeah.

                          JASPER
Pleased to meet you, man.
Sorry about the –

                          KEN
No, I think that’s the reaction Jake was looking for.  No worries.

                          JASPER
Jake!

                          JAKE
What?

                          JASPER
Dude!
You’re coming out to me.  That is so cool.  I am honored.  Thank you, brah.

                          JAKE
Yeah?

                          JASPER
Yeah.
But if you need a hug, you’re gonna have to put some pants on.

                          JAKE
We’re good.

                          KEN
Pizza’s coming.

                          JASPER
Dude!
Oh, but I don’t wannna horn in your morning after breakfast.

                          JAKE
I ordered three, I knew you were coming.

                          JASPER
This is why you’re my best friend.
So, uh – this – you and Ken - ?

                          JAKE
Yeah?

                          JASPER
Been a while?

                          KEN
Been a while.

                          JAKE
I’m telling you today ‘cause –

                          JAKE doesn’t finish.

                          JASPER
Yeah?

                          JAKE
That interview I did?

                          JASPER
The ESPN article?

                          JAKE
It’s gonna drop in about 24 hours.

                          JASPER
And - ?
Oh.
Whoa.
Dude.

                          JAKE
Yeah.

                          JASPER
You have enormous balls, man.
Metaphorically speaking.

                          KEN
No, they actually are pretty big.

                          JASPER
Dude!

                          JASPER and KEN high five.

                          JASPER (cont'd)
So, you must love this guy.

                          JAKE
I do.

JASPER goes in for a brah hug with KEN.

                          JASPER
Dude!

                          KEN
Pants.

                          JASPER
Right.
