Enjoy.
Sequence 1
He moved through the woods. His path lit by the occasional lantern. It was not fully dark yet and the fading light to the west cast strange shadows across the ground. And if he looked back he could still see the mansion in the horizon behind him lit up like a jewel in the darkening light of the day. If he strained he knew he could hear faint music in the air. He smiled to himself and walked on. What he wanted, he knew he wouldn’t find it at the mansion.
---
He watched the other move through the trees. The dark hair and the dark suit created a striking contrast with his pale skin. He watched enchanted. That such a beautiful creature was his, was something he still found hard to believe. He smiled softly and moved deeper in to the forest, knowing that the other would follow.
Sequence 2
He casts a dark silhouette against the darkening sky as he waits. The occasional breeze stirs his long hair. He stares across the horizon and watches the Sun set.
---
He walks up the marble stairs. They almost glow in the golden light of the hall. He looks up and sees the sky ahead. He smiles. He is here.
---
He looks up at the figures on the balcony. They look good together. He knows. They look happy. He smiles and turns away. He doesn’t belong here. He looks back one last time. Goodbye. He will not be here again.
Sequence 3
He laughs. Greg cannot take his eyes away. Israel.
---
He sees him walking away as he turned. He follows.
---
He is smiling. Bright and joyous. He leans forward and kisses him. He can taste the smile on his lips. Brighter than the Sun, his Israel.
Sequence 4
He looks up. The ceiling is so high. Everything glows golden in the light of the hall.
---
He watches Cameron. Lashes so long they cast invisible shadows as he takes in the room.
---
When Cameron lowers his eyes Dallas is there, leaning against the door. He is smiling as he straightens and holds out a hand.
“Dance with me”
Sequence 5
They move across the floor. Oblivious to all else.
---
Eyes so blue. He knows he has never seen their equal. Nothing exists for him but those blue eyes and the feel of his body under his fingers.
---
He touches their heads together and breathes. Justin's eyes are closed. There is a small smile on his face.
“I love you”
More than all things in the world combined. With all my heart.
I love you.
Sequence 6
He wraps his arms around his love and looks down at the ball room down below.
---
He feels the heart beating strong against his back and smiles softly to himself. If this is his last night on Earth, then he is exactly where he wants to be. In Matt's arms.
---
He watches Nick and Justin laughing as they dance across the floor and wonders whether Lenny and BJ have found each other yet. He wonders where most of the league players have disappeared off to as Dallas leads Cameron on to the floor. He kisses Dal's hair as the prince leads his companion on to the dance floor.
“Wanna go down there?”
---
Dal smiles as he turns and touches his lips to Matt's.
“Happy where I am”
With you.
Sequence 7
He leans back and feels Brett shift and tighten his arms around him. They left the mansion behind, needing to spend the night with each other. Cooper watches the Sun move closer to the horizon with half lidded eyes. He feels Brett nuzzling his hair and smiles. This is all he wants.
---
Brett presses small kisses on to Coopers’ dark head. He watches the colours play in the clouds and hopes the others are having fun at the ball. He smiles as the Sun dips below the horizon.
“You know something?”
Cooper turns around to face him.
“You’re perfect”
Cooper stills in his arms, dark eyes unreadable.
Brett doesn’t know he is holding his breath until a slow smile spreads over Coopers’ face.
“So are you”
Sequence 8
Johnathan surfaced, water streaming off him. He almost glowed in the light of the moon and Billy couldn’t look away. He had never been able to.
---
The water was so calm, there were barely any waves. He couldn’t say the same about his heart. There was a creature of ivory and ebony in front of him and Johnathan had never been able to keep his heart when it came to Billy.
---
Billy felt Johnathan's arms encircle him and leaned deeper in to the kiss. He knew they were bound, him and his love, in these waters of silver and gold. They had promised forever and to that promise they would keep.
Wow. I'm very impressed. Truly.
