TWINK
Once again, I was
pathetically gazing at my cellmate who was currently doing push-ups. The
workout made his muscles flex so beautifully and made his skin glisten
from beads of sweat that rolled down his face and arms.
It's been a few days since Unicorn taught me how to work a banana/dick. However, I still hadn't performed what I learned.
I hadn't seen Skull all that much these last few evenings. Because Skull is so respected in here, he sometimes did "Isolation talks." Sometimes people that are put in isolation are there because they are a threat to themselves. They might have tried to harm themselves as well. Skull is there to talk to them. A few inmates have that task. I don't know but it made me feel a little bit proud that he was one of those inmates.
At least we talked on a normal level again. Though we have never talked about my blowjob fiasco, and I thanked the Lord for that!
Skull panted heavily when he stood up after God knows how many push-ups. I quickly stood up to offer him a bottle of water.
"Thanks," he said.
I wanted to ask if he was in our cell tonight or was away again. "Skull—" But I was cut off by an abrupt sound. It seemed that some of the other prisoners started to bang against the bars of their cell and screamed but they were quiet soon after. "What was that?" I asked Skull.
"It sounded like new meat entered," he said.
"New meat?"
"Yeah, a new inmate," Skull explained. "Hm," he then said.
"Hm? What do you mean by hm?"
"Usually they are a lot louder than this when a new member enters."
I remembered how the men were yelling at me and making noise when I first made my entrance.
Now, it wasn't like that at all. They were screaming one moment and silent as a mouse a moment later.
"I think a big guy just entered. Someone so impressive that they don't have the guts to shout at him."
"Really?" I asked amazed.
"Yeah, when Volcano was brought in nobody dared to scream at him either," Skull said.
"Volcano is a large dude," I replied. And I didn't know why, but somehow I felt a little worried when thinking about the "new meat."
"Don't worry, I'm here," Skull said before he gulped some water down and proceeded with his workout.
Sit-ups this time.
I took a seat on the chair once more to enjoy the show that played right in front of my eyes. Flexing abs this time...

"Yesterday brought in and today known as The Beast," Sheep said, nodding his head at the entrance of the cafeteria.
I turned around to look at the man he was referring to.
Sheep always knew everything that went on in prison. How the hell did he always know all these sorta things anyway? I mean the man literally just set foot into the cafeteria for the first time ever. Nobody had ever seen him before. Except for the poor man that needed to share a cell with him.
I got why he was called The Beast. The guy had to be at least seven feet tall, and his shoulders were thrice as broad as mine.
In fact, Hulk looked like a little bitch standing next to him. And that says something for a man that earned the name hulk because of his large posture.
"My God." Unicorn gasped. "Puta madre!!! Is that a mutant? Did his momma fed him steroids straight out of her tits since birth or something?"
"Jesus, keep it down, will you? He looks like someone I don't wanna mess around with," Spiderleg told Unicorn.
"Ugh, well, we have Skull at our side. Who cares about that freak of nature? How did they even find him a prison suit that fit?"
Sometimes Unicorn could be kind of a bitch. Luckily, Beast stood on the other side of the cafeteria, so he didn't need to hear Unicorn's insults.
"That doesn't mean you need to offend him," Sheep said.
"As if he can hear me." Unicorn rolled his eyes and flipped his hair back.
Skull turned around to look at Beast and see what all the commotion was about, but he just turned his head again and went on with eating, not seeming to be impressed.
I, however, still sat while turned around on my chair. For some reason, I didn't wanna turn my back at the guy.
Beast's eyes scanned the cafeteria while Hulk talked to him. That sleazeball probably tried to befriend him. He would definitely want Beast at his side and not against him.
My breath hitched when his eyes and mine locked. He stared at me for a few seconds, which felt like minutes before he started to walk in our direction. My heart started to race.
I plucked at Skull's orange suit, and he noticed I wanted him to pay attention. He turned around again and got up from his chair, to stand between me and an approaching Beast.
"So this is the king in this joint," Beast said. It wasn't a question. In fact, he said it in a mocking tone.
Even his voice sounded terrifying. Hoarse and deep.
Hulk stood behind him, stupidly smiling like he just hit the jackpot.
"Welcome," was all Skull said.
Beast cocked his head and looked at me. "Is this the one you want?" he asked Hulk while looking at me.
"That's the one."
"I changed my mind," Beast said. "You ain't getting him."
"Wha—"
"Can't you see that our man Skull here is looking all agitated? Seems like the little princess is already taken," Beast explained.
"But you said that—"
Beast turned around and punched Hulk in the gut before he could finish his sentence. The man gasped at the sudden blow to his stomach. He then grabbed him by his neck and ordered Hulk to sit at the table. Did these two already know each other?
I looked at the guards but since Hulk left, they didn't see the need to do something about it. It happened before that someone got punched and they didn't really care as long as they weren't about to kill each other with some razorblade that accidentally found its way into the prison.
"Nice to meet you," Beast said at everyone sitting at our table and left.
Skull sat down again.
"What the fuck was that all about?" Calculus asked. It was the question that was on my mind as well.
"Trouble?" Volcano asked.
"Nothing we can't handle. But we might have to take some precautions for this," Skull explained.
"What do you mean? He seemed nice," Sheep said.
"Seemed? He's totally planning something. He gave me the creeps," Unicorn said while shaking his head.

It was evening and Skull stayed in our cell tonight.
While he read a book, I read my cousin's letter once more, an attempt to take my mind off today's happenings. I just felt like Beast would cause trouble soon.
Please know that I'm doing good in school. I got a job and I try to be the best I can in everything. I want you to know that I'm doing that all for you. So your help won't be in vain, because if it wasn't for you, my life would be over.
I'll try to write to you next month again.
I wish she could write to me more often. I hoped she was doing fine. She said she was but was she, really?
A loud sigh escaped my lips.
"You know that the largest snowflake in the world was fifteen inches wide and eight inches thick? I didn't. Wow," Skull said, snapping me out of my thoughts. "And they always have six sides."
"I didn't know," I replied. "What do you think this Beast guy is up to?" I then asked. I felt like Skull didn't share his thoughts with me.
"I will deal with him if it's necessary," Skull replied, ignoring my question. I didn't like that.
"The dude scares me. What if he hurts you or something?"
I felt the bed shake when Skull got up to look at me. He stood beside our bed, smiling. "Worried for me?" he asked.
"I don't want you to get hurt. Or me."
"That's cute," he said, grinning.
"..."
"I told you I would look out for you. And not because it's some deal."
He looked genuine about caring for me and I can't deny that at some moments, my heart started to beat faster while looking at him. Right now was one of those moments.
The familiar evening buzz came, and the lights went out, leaving the room dark.
Bedtime.
I could see a glimpse of Skull because he stood in front of the tiny little window of our cell and some dim light fell between the bars and shined on his face. It made my heart race faster.
Being in a bold mood, I sat on my hands and knees at the edge of the bed and leaned forward. "Are you really not mad at me?" I asked, whispering.
"No," he replied, feeling his minty breath against my face.
And then I kissed him.
