They should choose careers which provide them with the opportunity to use their great people skills and practical perspective, which will also provide them with enough new challenges that they will not become bored. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt; &lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;The following list of professions is built on our impressions of careers which would be especially suitable for an ESFP.

There are no guarantees that any or all of the careers listed here would be appropriate for you, or that your best career match is among those listed. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt; &lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Possible Career Paths for the ESFP:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot; color=&quot;#0000a0&quot;&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt; Artists, Performers and Actors &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt; Sales Representatives &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt; Counselors / Social Work &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt; Child Care &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt; Fashion Designers &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt; Interior Decorators &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt; Consultants &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt; Photographers &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

  <title>Fun meme</title>
  <link>http://emorockkid.livejournal.com/16058.html</link>
  <description>From &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser ljuser-name_&apos; lj:user=&apos;&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;- a fun meme!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She gave me Ryan Ross, and I&apos;ll give you the answers - what I think about him (and I &amp;amp;heart; her for that choice since he&apos;s probably the golden choice in that meme :D )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. Do you like this person?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&apos;Like&apos; is something not deep enough for that. He&apos;s inspiration. And a source of motivation for me.&lt;br /&gt;Actually it was him that made me throw my attention at Panic at the Disco. First because of his appearance, second because of the lyrics.&lt;br /&gt;His character is not comparable to anyone elses and everyone who knows me also knows how I adore him for what he is!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. How do you call this person?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ryan, Ross&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. Which color do you associate with this person?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A special shade of blue... like this blue he was wearing around his eyes in my very very very favourite picture of him ever! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. Looking at his/her character, what blood type do you think he/she has?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dunno much about blood types, but my intuition lets me think it&apos;s AB&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. What do you want to tell this person?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;You created things, words and stories that touched more than you probably think. You&apos;re truly blessed with wath you can give and we are blessed by what you are giving to us - through your music and the part of your heart you let us look into&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. What do you want to do with this person: hug, kiss or shake hands?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First shake hands to give him the respect he deserves. And then hug him as a silent grateful gesture. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. Pick four of your friends, and pick a person for them&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want one, let me know and I&amp;quot;ll give you someone!</description>

The day was busy and hard; Spencer, Jon and also the other bus passengers had fallen asleep already.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;It&apos;s only Brendon and Ryan who are still restless, listening to each other&apos;s breathe. Neither one nor the other dares to say a word or two, afraid to make the comfort disappear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The older one shifts closer to his bandmate and allows him to sling his arms around the thin waist. It&apos;s nothing new to Ryan to be close to his best friend. It&apos;s nothing foreign to feel the fingertips crawl over his stomach or the warm breath against his neck. To have lips mumbling random things into the sensitive shell of his ear. It&apos;s something created by their friendship that Ryan doesn&apos;t want to miss.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Just as he feels his pulse calm down and almost drifts off, Brendon&apos;s hands are covering his and Ryan can feel another, faster heartbeat pounding against his spine. It makes his stomach clench painfully.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;I think I&apos;m falling in love with you, Ryan Ross...&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The fragile boy pretends to sleep; in fact, his inside starts to panic.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;**&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;When he wakes up in the morning and feels a weight around the upper half of his body, Ryan realizes what happened a few hours before and suddenly feels angry. He pushes Brendon away and hurries himself to get out of the bunk. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The singer wants to say something, but Ryan cuts him off with a harsh voice. &amp;ldquo;Your beard is annoying and changing clothes might help. You smell!&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;He rushes out of the bus to get some fresh air and leaves Brendon alone, who doesn&apos;t see that Ryan is sinking down a tree and curses. Ryan pulls his hair and wishes he never heard the words that were coming from the bottom of a loving heart.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Brendon just locks himself in the small bathroom, takes an extra quarter for his washing procedure, shaves extra carefully and unwraps the new clothes he had found in the mall yesterday afternoon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;When he gets back into the bunk section, smelling like lemon and cherry, his skin softer than ever, there&apos;s a text message on his sidekick. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Stop loving me!&amp;rdquo; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;It&apos;s from Ryan. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;He types back &amp;ldquo;I can&apos;t&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;**&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;When they are in the venue, checking the microphones and instruments, Brendon is as active and busy as ever, moves around and jokes with Spencer and Jon. Ryan seems tense when the singer is rather doing silly voices than the lyrics of &amp;bdquo;Northern Downpour&amp;ldquo; and stays adorable and cute all the way.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Ryan stomps on his guitar amp and rips off the cables. He gives up.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Could you please come back to reality and do some serious music?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;He rushes out of the venue into the backstage area and searches for a room where he can be alone and hides his face in his hands. Some seconds later he runs his fingers through his hair and wishes he never heard the words that were coming from the bottom of a loving heart. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Brendon finishes up the soundcheck with the rest of the band. And later, being on stage, he barely leaves the small carpet under his feet and concentrates on hitting the right strings on his guitar and reaching the right notes all the time. Their show has never been so perfect, but at the same time so serious and unexciting before. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;After they said good-bye to the crowd, the pretty boy is heading for his sidekick above everything else. He finds a text message from Ryan.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Stop loving me!&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Brendon sighs, rubs the towel through his wet hair and texts back &amp;ldquo;I can&apos;t&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;**&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;When Brendon is shoved hard in the middle of the night, he sits up in his bunk where he stayed alone without the rising and falling chest right next to him, robbing of his sleep and putting his heartbeat into a hastier pace. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;It&apos;s dark, but he still sees Ryan&apos;s almost black, cold eyes sparkle in annoyance and anger, something that became prominent to him over the whole day, even if it only had been these two situations. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Could you please stop the fucking talking in your sleep? It keeps people up!&amp;rdquo; he states and storms out of the bunk section to reach the kitchen area. He sinks down on one of the cushions while he stares out of the window. He hears the noises of the cars that speed along and wishes he never heard the words that were coming from the bottom of a loving heart. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Brendon takes his coverlet, the huge pillow and the messed-up picture that was hidden under it and makes his way to the back of the bus, where they have this uncomfortable couch and no heater. It&apos;s freezing cold in there, but he just wraps himself in the thick fabric and squirms around until he finds a position he could stand for more than a few seconds. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;He then closes his lids and hopes to fall asleep faster than his body realizes that the temperature in there surely isn&apos;t healthy.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;When he goes for his sidekick in the morning, he knows he&apos;ll find a text message from Ryan. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Stop loving me, Brendon!&amp;rdquo; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;And the roughness behind it hits him heavily. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;His fingers get sweaty when he texts back &amp;ldquo;I just can&apos;t!&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;**&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;When Ryan is the last one in the little breakfast diner they stopped at to order something, he sees that Brendon has finished almost. Instead of joining him, Jon and Spencer, he goes for the table the crew is sitting at and asks Justin if the tech guys plan to have a party for tonight since they are having a day off. And they look forward to get wasted, very much. Nobody asks why Ryan isn&apos;t sitting with his bandmates, even though everybody knows there has to be something wrong. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;He stands up after he finished the meal and crosses Brendon at the little table. His plate only contains sweet stuff and instead of saying something nice he is getting unfriendly again, thinking about that they should live healthy, especially on tour. And that the younger&apos;s concentration always gets lost totally after a rush of sugar in his blood. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Ryan glares at him and sees how he&apos;s getting nervous, that he knows something is coming. But the guitarist couldn&apos;t care less right now. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;God damn it, Brendon. Stop eating that shit before you get fat like hell!&amp;rdquo; he exclaims and throws the plastic and his paper coffee cup into the bin before he leaves the diner as fast as he can. He storms over to the bus and types in the door code to crawl into his bunk, hiding from what he should face before it&apos;s turning into the biggest mess of his life; hiding that he actually wanted to sit down next to Brendon and steal some pieces of his blueberry muffin. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Hugging his legs with his arms, holding them close to his body, he wishes he never heard the words that were coming from the bottom of a loving heart.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;The boy whose heart hurts just a little after this overrated reaction, looks down onto his bag which he had filled with a few of Ryan&apos;s favorite snacks  and candy, lets his teeth clench when he thinks about how stupid he was to have the idea it could ease up things between them &amp;ndash; at least just a little. He empties the context of the box into the trash bins without thinking twice, clicks his heals and leaves. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;Spencer and Jon don&apos;t notice that he&apos;s absentminded when he takes place in front of the Xbox and plays something he can&apos;t remember afterwards. What both of them do notice is that he stops eating until shortly before the show and barely fills his stomach with more during the next days.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Brendon refuses to check his phone until he goes back to sleeping late at night. He doesn&apos;t read the message, because he knows it&apos;s saying. &amp;ldquo;Stop loving me, for god&apos;s sake!&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;He only types back. &amp;ldquo;Hell no, I can&apos;t!&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;**&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;When they are sitting in the wardrobe room a week later and Brendon talks about the stuff that happened a few hours ago when he decided to see some well-known fans, he speaks fast and loud. And he laughs a lot. Jon and Spencer join in and enjoy the conversation just as much as Brendon does. Only Ryan stays silent. He&apos;s annoyed by his friends acting like nothing happened through the last seven days. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;He&apos;s annoyed that Brendon&apos;s stopped smelling like himself and he can&apos;t stand lemon and cherry anymore.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;He&apos;s annoyed that fans seem to be bored like hell during their shows and that Brendon sounds like they&apos;d play a studio record.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;He&apos;s annoyed that his bunk feels so fucking cold at night and that the pillows are nothing steady to hold on to.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;He&apos;s annoyed that Brendon stopped eating properly and quits soundchecks early because he has no energy anymore.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;But mostly he&apos;s annoyed that Brendon doesn&apos;t get that he wants the best for him. That Ryan will break this beautiful boy sooner or later.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;The older one stands up and glares at the laughing mess next to him, the laughter obviously the only thing left that&apos;s a real part of Brendon. And in the corner of his brain he knows that he&apos;ll regret what his tongue is ready to spill right now. A kick against the chair gets the attention he needs to make his statement. &amp;ldquo;I am going to have a nap in the other room, could you please stop being so fucking loud? Thank you very much!&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;He goes for the door and can&apos;t hold himself up for longer than the next door that happens to be a restroom that he locks quickly. Sinking down on the toilet, he lets the tears run, finally. Sobs and whimpers leave his mouth as he tries to swallow them down, but he misses Brendon too much to calm them down completely. He wishes that he never heard the words that were coming from the bottom of a loving heart, more than ever. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;Brendon&apos;s listening to Spencer and Jon and their angry argument about what the fuck is up with Ryan. They don&apos;t understand their old friend anymore and whatever question it is that they are asking the brunette, he only shakes his head. He&apos;d like to give them the missing answers, but he&apos;s only guessing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;He&apos;s watching his mobile intensely and even if it takes a little longer than usual, he finds a text message from Ryan and something clicks in his head this time.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Brendon, please do yourself a favor and stop loving me, I&apos;m begging you!&amp;rdquo; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;The singer gasps, then thinks it&amp;rsquo;s impossible that Ryan&apos;s doing all this to protect him...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;I never could, Ryan. Don&apos;t beg for something impossible!&amp;rdquo; he returns and knows what he might be doing, but he is going to test the one he&apos;s lost his mind to. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;**&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;When the both of them share the room in a hotel four evenings later, they feel private and alone enough to allow themselves to sleep together. Literally. Ryan doesn&apos;t know what turned his brain into this direction, but he can&apos;t stop the movements, the kisses, the touches that cover Brendon&apos;s body, the flushed skin and he feels like running away when his hand strokes firmly another time and his thrusts still as he feels the both of them reaching their climaxes. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;Ryan is close to collapse thoughtlessly, but then his gaze snaps up and he catches sight of the glittering, wet pearls on the beautiful cheeks. Something inside is dying &amp;lsquo;cause he knows the tears are his fault. As well as the feeling of sharp hipbones and less flesh under his thumbs. He&apos;s also guilty that he almost forgot how Brendon&amp;rsquo;s voice sounds since he stopped using it after Ryan&apos;s last ego attack and that he causes the pretty one to change that heavily. To kill his own soul slowly, more and more.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;Brendon&apos;s turning away before Ryan can wipe away what he hates to see right now and finally lets out a tiny whisper. &amp;ldquo;Are you going to run away now?&amp;rdquo; he asks and doesn&apos;t have to wait long until two fingers are grabbing his chin with soft pressure until their teary eyes lock. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;And he wasn&apos;t wrong, he knows he wasn&apos;t when he finds that hurt glimpse in the honey eyes &amp;ndash; Ryan just was led by the thought that he wasn&apos;t good enough for Brendon.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Ryan shakes his head, his mouth too dry to speak a word out loud.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;What are you so afraid of, Ryan?&amp;rdquo; he asks, sobs leaving his mouth &amp;lsquo;cause the fear is still shaking him with an amount of force. He isn&apos;t sure if he can trust his feelings to let himself fall into Ryan&apos;s arms. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;The asked one lowers his head and breaths in, then breaths out shakily, his voice breaks as he tries to clear everything up. &amp;ldquo;Your heart, Brendon. It&apos;s too precious and innocent to be crushed by hands as dirty as mine!&amp;rdquo; he explains and finds that it&apos;s him who&apos;s is receiving a stroke through his sweaty hair strains and a lighter one over his cheeks, than his lips. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Big hearts are for breaking, Ryan. And if it&apos;s you who does it, I am totally okay with it!&amp;rdquo; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang=&quot;en-US&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;And for the first time on this evening, for the first time since Ryan heard the words that were coming from the bottom of a loving heart and for the first time in their friendship, their lips connect for a contact that they&apos;d like to call their first kiss. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please also check out &lt;a href=&quot;http://emorockkid.livejournal.com/7819.html&quot;&gt;my other stories&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://emorockkid.livejournal.com/8574.html&quot;&gt;my oneshot offering list&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And also join &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser ljuser-name_kidfic_slash&apos; lj:user=&apos;kidfic_slash&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://community.livejournal.com/kidfic_slash/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;16&apos; height=&apos;16&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://community.livejournal.com/kidfic_slash/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;kidfic_slash&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;/lj&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/lj&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/lj&amp;gt;</description>

He had been worried about her since she hadn&amp;lsquo;t appeared today, staying away from classes since the very first ringing of the school bell. She hadn&apos;t been missing since they&amp;lsquo;d started growing closer and &apos;dating&apos;, if it was okay to call it that at their age.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Gabe sighed. He really hoped he hadn&apos;t done something wrong or treated her in the wrong way or not treated her in the way that a cute, lady-like girl like her deserved to be treated. Yes, they were pretty young, but if the fourteen-year-old had ever been serious about something, it was about being with Bilvy.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;He took a deep breath, sniffing the flowers in his hand and taking care of the box of cupcakes he carried in the other one. Something he had learned from the older boys in their circle of friends. He hoped it&apos;d count as a sorry if there was any need for one. Oh, and of course he had some sheets in his backpack, copies of all the stuff they had done in school today &amp;ndash; and also some of the homework Bilvy was supposed to do afterwards. Gabriel wanted her to see that he really cared for her.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;After what seemed like half a century, he punched his elbow into the door two times and then waited patiently. A muffled noise reached him and a light curse as the young girl obviously ran against something in her room. His breath caught in his throat as the door opened lightly and gave a shallow look to his &amp;ndash; what he liked to call &amp;ndash; girlfriend.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;She was dressed in brown sweatpants and a too-big dark baseball shirt that drew a heavy contrast to her beautiful, hairlessly pale skin, and at the same time hid her fragile, but still female and &amp;ndash; in Gabe&apos;s eyes perfect &amp;ndash; frame.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Her chin-length hair was a little messy, flying aroung as if she had just been standing up, although Gabe knew she hadn&apos;t since it was already four in the afternoon. Shooting a short glance to her white face and the dark rings under her eyes, he knew that it was definitely something more serious than being mad at her boyfriend that had her stuck at home.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Her gaze shifted to the floor as she brushed her fingers through her hair after she realized it was him and not one of her buddies from the baseball team or the band. Gabe could tell she was feeling slightly uncomfortable with the way her hands shook a little. And though he knew she was feeling crappy and ugly right now, he thought she looked more natural and pretty than ever. It made him want to lean over and stroke the chestnut hair out of her soft face, holding her chin up and saying something nice to make her lips twitch into a small smile.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&apos;&apos;You&apos;re not supposed to see me looking crappy like this,&apos;&apos; she mumbled, stepping back a little to let him into the room that looked exactly as comfortable as herself. Clothes strewn all over the floor, food packages in towers on the desk and a Harry Potter DVD in her player. It was just the way Bilvy was sometimes.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Gabe took a few tiny steps forward, leaning into her and kissing her temple after running his hand through her silky hairstrains covering it. The flowers found their way into her hands so one of the boy&apos;s palms was free to touch her arm, just barely ghosting over the skin there and leaving a shiver where it touched her. He always managed to make the butterflies fly through her whole tummy, making her as excited as hell.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&apos;&apos;I was worried about you,&apos;&apos; he stated. He grabbed the door behind her and nodded to make her go in so he could close it for her. If it wasn&apos;t for Bilvy he usually wasn&apos;t a gentleman. But he was willing to use each little manner to impress her.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;She shook her head as she sat down on her bed, wrapping herself in her favourite blanket and reaching over to the nightstand, taking out a dry bunch of flowers she got for her birthday last week. She replaced them with the beautiful purple roses Gabe had brought her. Purple wasn&apos;t exactly her favourite colour, but she know it was his and that made it cool and nice in her eyes. It wasn&apos;t the first time he&apos;d bought her flowers and she knew he only picked the purple ones because red would be too much of the usual standard. And maybe too romantic for their young and innocent type of relationship. They were still teenagers who should think of themselves as too young for love.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Bilvy turned around again and saw that something now rested in her lap, staring up at her with a bright CUPCAKES sign on it. Her face lit up immediately. She gasped in joy and threw herself against Gabe&apos;s chest, catching his lips in a kiss that only lasted a few seconds until they broke away from each other, smirks decorating their mouths.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&apos;&apos;You shouldn&amp;rsquo;t have, baby,&apos;&apos; she whispered, allowing her eyes to stare into his, letting herself drown in the warm, dark brown. Just a little, just for comfort. It also gave her a chance to signify that his lips were trembling in a happy way as the nickname resounded in his ears, &apos;&apos;But it&amp;rsquo;s good that your worries took you here. I think I could use some communication, distraction and love.&amp;ldquo;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;She sighed through that last phrase and crawled onto Gabe&apos;s lap so that half of her body was resting against his chest, and she didn&apos;&apos;t take care that this movement would make her tummy clench so heavily. A pressed and painful gasp slipped through her lips and send a light shockwave through her boyfriend&apos;s spine. Something was wrong with her.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&apos;&apos;Is anything hurting you? Have you seen a doctor for it? I could make an icepack or go and get some painkillers for you. Or help your mom make dinner or &amp;ndash;&apos;&apos;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Bilvy interrupted his hectic words as she squeezed his tanned wrist to tell him she was doing fine. She hadn&amp;rsquo;t actually planned to tell him what kept her from the daily routine since Gabriel was a boy, but she was more than sure he wouldn&apos;t laugh at it or make fun of her for it. Not when she looked at how much he had changed for her since the day of their first kiss some months ago.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&apos;&apos;You know I turned fourteen last week, and I&amp;lsquo;m very late with it, but something happened today that&apos;s natural for a girl and it&apos;s equally natural that it hurts like fuck&amp;hellip;&apos;&apos; she explained, unable to stop the embarassed blush that painted her cheeks. Gabe had to think for a minute, but than his face relaxed in realisation and he breathed a kiss into her strawberry flavoured hair. He should have known it, he thought to himself.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;And Gabe, being the loud-mouthed and open person that he was, was sure he could say it out loud without being punched in the face.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&apos;&apos;So we should get a mark in your calender that today was the day of your first period?&amp;ldquo; he asked and he moved his lips to her neck to place a kiss on it, before he pressed their cheeks together and slipped his fingers under her shirt so he could lay his usually warm fingers on her stomach. Carefully and tender to make it better, not worse.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Breathing a soft and high laugh, she nodded and entwined their fingers to play a little with his. If she hadn&amp;rsquo;t known before that she had the best boyfriend in the world, she did now.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&apos;&apos;So am I allowed to eat all the cupcakes myself, even your favourite ones?&apos;&apos;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;The tone in her voice was innocent and sweet to convince him to just let her have that round. And she was aware of the fact that she just had to call him &apos;&apos;honey&apos;&apos; to get everything she wanted if this would have been what she was willing to go for. But she was too lovely to use him like that.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&apos;&apos;Of course you can, Bilvy. And I&apos;ll make sure to remember the 18th so I can bring a box of something round every month, just &apos;cause I like you that much, baby girl!&amp;ldquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------&lt;br /&gt;Now playing: &lt;a title=&quot;&amp;#39;Attack!

At least it&apos;s Gabilliam!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Teaser&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;Luckily, my hair was still long enough to hide how my face obviously blushed and the tip of my tongue ran over my lips to let the taste of Gabe&apos;s kiss last a little longer. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;EC_MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;EC_MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;Trying to push away Adam&apos;s assumption, as well as my fear about it possibly being true, I finally decided to slip through the half-open bus door, making my way outside to become a part of the welcoming scene. But, as it may have been expected, I didn&apos;t dare go much further than leaning back against said door, shooting glances at the man who&amp;rsquo;d managed to mess up my mind since the last time we saw each other in person.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;EC_MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;Catching his gaze right now made me slightly nervous, knowing I shouldn&amp;rsquo;t be. Because after all he, didn&apos;t have a clue about me over thinking our friendship during the last two months that we hadn&amp;rsquo;t seen each other. Fingers cold and shaking a little bit, I brushed the hair out of my face and finally decided to move as Gabe&apos;s arms opened, requesting some kind of reaction from me; his eyes both scared and sorry, face twisted in worry. The sign I wanted that not hitting back at me wasn&apos;t something he had been doing on purpose.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;EC_MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;I took careful barefooted steps over the grass that covered the distance between us, avoiding his eyes completely to keep my inner control over fears and doubts and eventual emotions, before I stopped right in front of him. I was finding it hard to ignore the fact that the others were, of course, watching, even though they pretended not to be. I leaned a little bit towards him, hoping he wouldn&apos;t hand me the burden to make the first step &amp;ndash; and being the awesome friend he always has been, he pulled me into a hug that couldn&apos;t have been more intimate and relieving, all at once.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;EC_MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;I pressed my face into the crook of his neck, trying to breathe in his smell and telling myself that there was nothing wrong with admiring the one person you trusted the most &amp;ndash; in a non-relationship kind of way. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;EC_MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;Running his hands up my spine, fiddling his fingers through my hair, he didn&apos;t bother to squeeze me a little more, and he kissed my temple with a softness that I wasn&apos;t used to coming from him. His lips moved over my skin, barely touching it, yet still leaving marks I would remember lying in my bunk this evening, suffering from insomnia over the thought that he was filling another one in another bus of a band that wasn&apos;t mine. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;EC_MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Bilvy, I didn&apos;t mean to upset you,&amp;rdquo; he said, ghosting his fingertips over my neck and sending another shiver through my body.&amp;nbsp; I shook my head, as if to tell him it was okay, &amp;ldquo;I&apos;m sorry,&amp;rdquo; he added.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;EC_MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;EC_MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;FLASHBACK&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;EC_MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;I stared at the bottle that pointed at me, actually also screaming at me to run from what Gabe was to do after he picked &amp;lsquo;dare&amp;rsquo; in this stupid drunken game. Knowing he wouldn&apos;t have a problem with kissing someone in this room, not even Jon or Ryland or whoever, Sisky thought it would be the perfect turn to suggest a French kiss with the one the beer bottle would pick. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;EC_MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;My older friend snapped his head to one side, facing me and seeing if I would avoid it. But I really wasn&apos;t willing to spread untrue rumors of maybe falling for him in case I skipped, so I just nodded and tilted my head closer to him, making it easier for him to reach my lips.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;EC_MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;He was careful, almost tender and I had to force myself very hard to not melt into it completely when he cupped my cheek to get me a little closer. As soon as he started to suck on my tongue lightly, adding something close to passion into it, I broke away with half of my body shaking. This was clearly too much to take.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;EC_MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;Luckily, my hair was still long enough to hide how my face obviously blushed and the tip of my tongue ran over my lips to let the taste of Gabe&apos;s kiss last a little longer. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;Jumping a little as his presence interrupted my thoughts, I felt the older man leaning into me, searching for the shell of my ear before he whispered something that made me freeze,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;EC_MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;I&apos;m sorry, Bilvy.

I grabbed the microphone, bringing it close to my lips, waiting for the chorus to kick in, letting the sun shine into my face. This would become a rough tour, and not only because of the weather.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------&lt;br /&gt;Now playing: &lt;a title=&quot;&amp;#39;Empires - Anywhere&amp;#39; - open on FoxyTunes Planet&quot; href=&quot;http://www.foxytunes.com/artist/empires/track/anywhere&quot;&gt;Empires - Anywhere&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(153, 153, 153); font-style: italic; font-size: 10px;&quot;&gt;via &lt;a title=&quot;FoxyTunes - Web of music at your fingertips&quot; href=&quot;http://www.foxytunes.com/signatunes/&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;FoxyTunes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

And the young mum had some room to do things only for herself. They built the perfect patchwork family; with respect, love and friendship.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;After coming home from the public playground only a few blocks away, Patrick had been heading out to do &amp;sbquo;things&amp;lsquo; &amp;ndash; of course Pete had tried to find out something about it, but just as usual he didn&amp;rsquo;t get any word out of him &amp;ndash; and Bronx was exhausted enough to actually want the nap-time he usually used to refuse. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Still sleepy from the one-hour rest, he crawled around on the couch and poked, stroked, tickled Rigby in a playful way since the dog was practically his best friend. The three-year-old fell on his back, laughing at the top of his lungs and let out an even louder squeal, when the beloved pet jumped after him, carefully putting its weight on the tiny chest and licking Bronx&amp;rsquo; chin with her wet tongue.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;And all of that cute interaction between his two &amp;lsquo;babies&amp;lsquo; &amp;ndash; &amp;lsquo;baby baby&amp;lsquo; Bronx and the younger of his dogs &amp;ndash; was caught on camera.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Right before Pete was able to interrupt the whole snuggling and not-caring-that-the-baby boy-himself-might-be-hurt, the front door clicked shut a little too loud, causing the three of them to go still and start listening. The dark haired kid unwrapped himself from the coverlet, jumping from the place he was on currently and planned to run into the hallway, but his dad was faster, grabbing the hood of his hoodie. He pulled him back a little and lifted him to his arms, trying to win control over his bouncy son.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;He was only as much months old as Pete was in years, but he already had a lot in common with the man who unfortunately didn&amp;rsquo;t have the time to raise him as much as Bronx would be worth it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Patrick&amp;rsquo;s voice filled the room as soon as he stepped into the living area with only one foot, adding warmth and a special loveliness, just what the two other boys in the family used to love and adore. But this time his sudden appearing was different. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Holding tightly onto his left hand, there was another small boy, longer raven black hair falling into his eyes and broke the stare of his sharp grey eyes; skin almost as pale as Bronx knew snow was &amp;ndash; even if he had never ever seen some before.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;He wore a black shirt with some funny white and red drawn animals on it, black tight jeans and red tiny shoes that the slightly older boy thought were awesome. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Hello uncle Pete!&amp;ldquo; he mumbled, obviously a little shy and not as open as the junior version of Pete always showed he was. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Bronx&amp;hellip;&amp;ldquo; Pete nudged the shoulder of his son tenderly to get back his attention and be sure that he would listen to him. &amp;ldquo;This is uncle Gerard&amp;rsquo;s son, his name is Liam&amp;hellip; he is a little bit younger than you are!&amp;ldquo; he explained, shooting a friendly glare at his boyfriend who tried to pull the handsome boy back to the middle of the scene, but Liam seemed to feel safer when he was hiding behind the blonde man&amp;rsquo;s legs. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;A silence started to build between the four male individuals&amp;hellip; only until they heard a happy bark from a few metres away. Rigby rushed into the situation, jumping in front of Patrick in pure joy, until she sat down, tail drumming on the floor excitedly. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Bronx was watching in curiosity.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;He didn&amp;rsquo;t like other kids&amp;hellip; on a regular basis.

Bronx never got along with other babies &amp;ndash; especially not boys &amp;ndash; before. This was a happy debut.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Liam looked up at him, giving a smirk, before he frowned.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&amp;bdquo;Why is he doing that?&amp;ldquo; he asked back, being a little hesitant, when his fingertips touched the soft fur for the first time.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&amp;bdquo;That is easy, Liam.

  <title>Bronx Drabble Collection Part One: &quot;Paint that Kiss&quot;</title>
  <link>http://emorockkid.livejournal.com/13085.html</link>

Turning her head to the side, she is able to peak out of the window, bright yellow sunshine flashing her beautiful features and giving her red hair a nice glow. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Usually they had helpers in their home who did stuff like preparing lunch, doing the dishes and all other things that superstars probably didn&apos;t do themselves. But since the birth of their lovely toddler, the young woman enjoyed being a mum with all of the typical aspects as often as possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She finishes the last plate, drying and settling it back to its usual place in the cupboard, when the music comes to a sudden stop. But she knows her husband and Patrick well enough to guess they just got distracted by any awesome idea - might it be the stupidest one their minds ever brought to them - or discuss about an absolutely perfect line of lyrics they &apos;totally have to add to this one special song&apos;, even if it was finished long ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A smile spreads over her dark red lips; it&apos;s probably the first intention anyways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She folds the towel, putting it on the window bench so that the sun could take away the wetness and starts making her way through the big glass door in the living room that leads to the huge, perfect garden that&apos;s also equal to a child&apos;s paradise, containing the swing set, a tree house, a tiny slip&apos;n&apos;slide and anything else that Pete wanted to see in there rather for himself than his 5 year old son.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Ashlee spots dark brown messy hair on the purple kid&apos;s table close to Rigby&apos;s house, where Bronx obviously took a seat, not doing any noise. The younger one of the dogs lies next to his feet, not only for having something to snuggle on, but because it&apos;s the place where the most shadow usually was - Rigby is a little bit diva-ish in her behavior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The small boy leans on the table, eyes fixed on a blank paper and the oil crayons that Ryan brought with him on his last visit spread all over the space around him. His tongue pokes out between the pink lips and sends a smile to Ashlee&apos;s heart. It&apos;s unbelievable how much of his dad he got in his own personality. Especially being that loud and full of life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Baby, is mommy allowed to see what you are painting there?&amp;quot; she asks, stroking his slightly long hair out of his forehead. He nods simply, almost throwing away the black crayon in his little hand and grabbing the corners of the paper, holding it up.&lt;br /&gt;Scribbled rather blurrily, there are two human beings, one of it is wearing a hat and Ashlee thinks this is meant to be Bronx&apos; secret &apos;uncle&apos; Patrick, who of course used to stick to the little family more than anybody else did. &lt;br /&gt;Next to him is a rather thinner boy with red pants and a blue sweatshirt, black hair poking into his eyes caused by the toddler&apos;s loss of exactness in drawing. And she gets that this is Pete. The only thing she doesn&apos;t get is what the position they are in should show.&lt;br /&gt;Only that they are sticking together in some way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;What are Daddy and Pat doing there, Bronx?&amp;quot; she wants to know, keeping her voice straight to not sound amused or maybe even pissed, nothing to influence the kid.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;You not see it, mommy?&amp;quot; he asks, throwing his head back to shoot the brightest and happiest beam to his beloved, pretty mom. He exposes his teeth while his grinning, before he adds the real answer:&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;They are kissing!&amp;quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------&lt;br /&gt;Now playing: &lt;a title=&quot;&amp;#39;Fall Out B - Fall Out Boy - Tiffany Blews&amp;#39; - open on FoxyTunes Planet&quot; href=&quot;http://www.foxytunes.com/artist/fall+out+b/track/fall+out+boy+-+tiffany+blews&quot;&gt;Fall Out Boy - Tiffany Blews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(153, 153, 153); font-style: italic; font-size: 10px;&quot;&gt;via &lt;a title=&quot;FoxyTunes - Web of music at your fingertips&quot; href=&quot;http://www.foxytunes.com/signatunes/&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;FoxyTunes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;</description>

His hands had moved the pillow aside - nothing. It also hadn&amp;rsquo;t joined all the toy cars to take a ride to somewhere else - they were in the same order Ryan had put them in yesterday evening. Spencer thought it might be cuddling between the bed sheets, but he found that it wasn&amp;rsquo;t. He had also been sticking his little-bit-chubby nose&amp;nbsp;into the basket with the dirty and worn clothes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The older twin was longing heavily for the stuffed toy squirrel, almost being half as tall as Spencer himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Eddie, where you been goin&apos;?&amp;quot; he asked whiningly, bending down in an awkward angle to have a look under the bed, but he still didn&apos;t get any hint of his beloved non-human friend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;He fisted his hands, holding them up to his small mouth, and tried to suppress the upcoming tears.&lt;br /&gt;The baby boy was more than sure that Eddie missed his daddy already!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During Spencer&apos;s process of searching for the most important puppy in his entire life, Ryan came back from the bathroom, teeth finally brushed and grinning when he saw that Spencer was already going crazy over the lack of his toy. The tinier one was a little bit proud of himself for finding such a great hiding place and giving Spencer an impression what it felt like to be treated by your own brother all the time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ryan&apos;s brother would survive this day, the first day of the new kindergarten year and of getting to know new friends. And in the evening, Ryan would bring Eddie back into the other twin&apos;s embrace, on loved and adored for being Spencer&apos;s everyday hero and saving the squirrel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While they sat around the big wooden kitchen table like they usually did for breakfast - all of the boys together with Vicky and their mom because their dad had to leave for work very early in the morning - Spencer sat in silence. His eyes had gone red and his lips kept pouting. But as long as he was eating his peanut butter sandwiches, his mom didn&apos;t see herself in the need to worry or spill any questions to find out what was wrong with the toddler.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ryan filled his mouth continuously with his beloved mixed cereals, humming a sweet melody he remembered from a Singing Day in Vicky&apos;s room, swinging his head and tapping his left foot against the leg of the chair.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, he was already wondering if there&apos;d be any new kids in his kindergarten group. If there would be girls or boys; if they were fun or rather boring. And if it was finally someone he could sing with while the other kids preferred their dolls or matchbox cars; being loud and noisy and rude. At least his teacher was interested in his passion.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes she even sat&amp;nbsp;down with him&amp;nbsp;and played a tune to his lines on the guitar or the accordion, helping him to correct himself if one of his sang notes failed. Ryan felt happy every time she was surprised at how easily he remembered what she was teaching him, and he told her that it was all thanks to his awesome and beautiful sister Vicky. The music part was totally his favourite about being in kindergarten. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand he was asking himself what daily life without Gabe, Butcher, Mike and Michael would be like, because the three of their common friends were already in their second grade of school now and had been staying in his group for the &apos;extra year&apos; parents could send their kids to during their first year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But there was still Spencer, Ryland, Nate and Alex he could play with. And Eric, the strange boy who of course was always there and also managed to not get recognized for a whole day. Sometimes, Ryan wasn&apos;t sure if Eric actually existed at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Snapping out of his detailed thoughts, Ryan&apos;s gaze fell on his older brother who was helping his mom prepare the lunch boxes for himself, and two smaller ones for the twins, cutting the apples, adding some salad to his cheese sandwich - since he never ate meat from the age of two onwards - and mixing Ryan&apos;s special chocolate milk. Only he knew how much cocoa he needed to add in order to make Ryan completely satisfied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unrecognized by the others, Ryan let out a tiny sigh, feeling a little messed up due to not having Gabby around him all the time anymore; of not sticking to the practical third twin &amp;ndash; Ryan hadn&amp;rsquo;t learnt the correct word for it yet. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Get ready, little heartbreaker. We have to leave in a few!&amp;quot; Vicky interrupted the silence between the boys, which was totally unusual for the three of them. Several weeks ago they used to burble about what they would play in kindergarten, or that they wanted to play House and that Gabe wouldn&apos;t let Ryland force him to be the daddy again; the male part of the family who always had to leave the house early in the morning to go and be a cook in the restaurant Michael and Mike worked at as waiters. And Butcher was the pianist in the corner playing some live music for their guests. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;Gabe preferred being the mother for Nate, Alex, Ryan and Spencer, and to let Ryland do the work - he was so much better at it and Gabe was a much lovelier mom, caring and treating them as the best things that ever happened to &apos;her&apos;. &lt;/font&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;Vicky was aware that the three toddlers would start to build up some distance in their close relationship as brothers since they wouldn&apos;t spend every free second together. But this was what getting older and growing up probably was about. And there was nothing much the oldest of them was able to do than try to keep them as close as possible.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;She saw Gabe pressing his lips together and rubbing his eyes lazily. He seemed caught between being excited and wanting to quit school for another year of being in his favourite friend group. But he of course knew that school was necessary. &lt;/font&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;So he jumped off his chair, breathing heavily and taking tiny steps to reach Spencer who was sitting a little closer to him already. Patting his long, thick hair, Gabe saw a hint of motivation in his eyes, the tone of optimism that always was Spencer&apos;s best company. &lt;/font&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;Have fun in school, Gabby. The girls will like you!&amp;ldquo; he beamed, happy about pronouncing all his words correctly with the first try. Gabe nodded, giving Spencer a quick hug and leaving a peck on his cheek as if he was leaving the family for a few days. &lt;/font&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;But he was much more worried about the next goodbye he had to give away, knowing that Ryan wouldn&apos;t take it that easily; that the smaller one was really hurt about this change in his still-so-young life. The boy with the curly, brown hair was staring at the laminated floor, hiding the fact that there were tears building up in his honey-brown eyes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;He felt little fingers running through the curls, stopping at his beloved headband and following the lines of the patterns, just like Gabe loved to do when they were cuddling on the couch. This was when Ryan felt safe and guarded, feeling that nothing bad could happen to him then. As if Gabe was his personal guardian angel. &lt;/font&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;The black-haired one bent forward, placing a soft kiss of the hair covering Ryan&apos;s forehead; the same gesture he used when he was allowed to be his mommy during House.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;You my bestest friend, Gabby!&amp;ldquo; Ryan sobbed, his voice cracking a little. He offered a facial expression Gabe could barely stand this because he felt guilty for it.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;And I&amp;rsquo;ll stay your best friend if you still want me to,&amp;ldquo; he said, tried to tug his much smaller brother into a tight and honest hug. Ryan stayed tense for the break of a minute, until he allowed himself to press his chest against Gabby&apos;s, rubbing his cheek half against his neck and half into his hoodie; the drops of the salty fluid soaked away from the purple fabric. &lt;/font&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;I want!&amp;rdquo; Ryan whispered, laying his arms around the small frame and tightening the embrace&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;I told Ryland to be a good mom for you four and to especially make sure you&amp;rsquo;re getting your daily snuggle-time. And I&amp;rsquo;ll take care of the rest after coming home from school, okay?&amp;ldquo; He earned a firm nod and a careful smile for that promise while Ryan&apos;s eyes found his to show him he would somehow be okay.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;I love you, Bro-y,&amp;ldquo; Ryan said slowly. He stretched on his chair to give a sloppy kiss to the boy who was still holding him. Nothing would change if they didn&apos;t want it to do.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;**&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;Ryan, hurry, the others are waiting for us!&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;Spencer was close to yelling in excitement as he ran through the front door of the kindergarten, his feet stomping impatiently as if there was nothing better in the world than seeing his friends again. &lt;/font&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;Ryan instead clung to his mom&apos;s side, holding her hand tightly and shooting an annoyed glare to his sometimes-too-hyperactive second half.

Their gazes fell on Ryan, who was heartily greeted by Nate and Alex, both pulling him into a group hug, but he was rather passive in this loveliness. Mrs. Saporta tilted her head to the side, watching the scene. She was never aware of her son&apos;s habits with other kids like she was in that moment.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;He started to become kind of dependent of Gabe, always taking the seats next to him or cuddling into him during their nap-time.

The only thing that was different was that the piano wasn&apos;t protected by the big leather coverlet anymore and he could also see that the chair stood closer to it. And not the chair alone.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;Ryan stood in surprise and also kind of awe, as he realized that a small, tiny figure sat in front of the huge instrument, eyes closed and obviously fully concentrated. The boy watching the kid felt that the lady next to him had knelt down and whispered a short statement to him, so that nobody else could hear her, as though it were a secret to the world. &lt;/font&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;This, Ryan, is Brendon.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;He laid his head to the left side a little to be able to take a closer look at the younger toddler&apos;s face. Brendon had thick, dark hair, hanging into his small, rosy-cheeked face, with a mouth that made him look as though he was pouting constantly. His fingers were short and a little chubby, but still seemed like they were able to fulfil miracles, as they laid there on the keys, waiting to touch the notes out of them.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;The watching child&amp;rsquo;s breath caught in his throat, as Brendon&apos;s eyelids fluttered shut and he actually started to play. A melody Ryan had never heard before, but it was nice anyway. To be honest, it was more beautiful than any other melody he could think of in this second. &lt;/font&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;He was caught in fascination through this one minute as the &amp;ndash; so Ryan thought &amp;ndash; younger one played the simple lines of notes as if it was the biggest gift of music ever, feeling warmth crawling into his belly. Nothing made him happier than music did. And so it was in this situation. &lt;/font&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;As soon as the short song was over, Ryan took a few steps towards the &apos;new one&apos;, waiting for him to snap out of his trance. And so Brendon did, clapping his hands and smiling almost awkwardly in joy. It seemed like he must have had fun playing the instrument Ryan still had a huge respect of. &lt;/font&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;He stood very close to the chocolate-eyed boy, holding out his small hand in a friendly gesture. &lt;/font&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS, cursive&quot;&gt;Hi...

At least it&apos;s Gabilliam!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Teaser: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Say &amp;lsquo;Aah&amp;rsquo;!&amp;quot; He couldn&amp;rsquo;t have made this friendly command in a drier way.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &amp;quot;Sisky, chocolate thickens!&amp;quot; I protested, but I&amp;nbsp;couldn&amp;rsquo;t hide that the effort alone conjured a smile on my lips. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &amp;quot;Say &amp;lsquo;Ahh&amp;rsquo;, William, or else I&amp;rsquo;ll find another way of stuffing this into you!&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;The slight vibration of my lips that were tightly pressed together managed to distract me a little from staring at my sidekick for the hundredth time and going through my contact list in search of a certain number without any self control.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;This lasted for about thirty seconds. Then I heard the mailbox that was burned into my brain after trying to call Gabe for a countless numbers of times. I hung up, frustrated, and continued to hum my wild mix of Same Blood, Snakes On A Plane and One Day Robots Will Cry.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;With a loud sigh I rested my chin on&amp;nbsp;my thin&amp;nbsp;forearm and stared out of the window at the landscape&amp;nbsp;which hadn&amp;rsquo;t changed at all in the past half hour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;He&apos;s been doing that for two hours straight now,&amp;quot; I heard Mike say in the next room to one of our bandmates, &amp;quot;If the Cobras don&amp;rsquo;t show up any time soon, we&amp;rsquo;ll have to cut him out of the sofa!&amp;rdquo; Despite his sarcastic words, I knew he was worried about my current state, regarding the fact that we should be on tour with a band that were our closest friends for&amp;nbsp;six weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But&amp;nbsp;Mike couldn&amp;rsquo;t actually change that either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I took another look at my watch. I hadn&amp;rsquo;t heard from Gabe for&amp;nbsp;two hours,&amp;nbsp;forty three&amp;nbsp;minutes and&amp;nbsp;seventeen seconds now. Apparently they had gotten into some massive traffic jam and would be considerably late, but things like that usually didn&amp;rsquo;t keep Gabe from making our mobile devices glow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unheralded, the cushion next to me sunk a bit, telling me that someone sought my company and wanted to try to change my facial expression. When I tilted my head to the side a little, I saw it was Sisky who downright pressed his thigh against mine and held out a piece of chocolate to me at nose level. Inwardly, I had to smirk a bit at that; he always fell back on the same method.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Say &amp;lsquo;Aah&amp;rsquo;!&amp;quot; He couldn&amp;rsquo;t have made this friendly command in a drier way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Sisky, chocolate thickens!&amp;quot; I protested, but I&amp;nbsp;couldn&amp;rsquo;t hide that the effort alone conjured a smile on my lips. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Say &amp;lsquo;Ahh&amp;rsquo;, William, or else I&amp;rsquo;ll find another way of stuffing this into you!&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Alarmed, and definitely taking his threat seriously, I straightened up and took the treat with my teeth, careful enough to not bite his fingertips off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He took advantage of me chewing for a moment to stuff a second piece into my mouth right away which caused me to cough. His brightly sparkling eyes flashed, shocked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Everything&apos;s ... all right,&amp;rdquo; I&amp;nbsp;assured him between chokes, and I&amp;nbsp;bent forward slightly to press my eyelids together.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was silent for a moment, then my body began to tremble and Sisky seemed to be worried that I was about to burst into tears of desperation &amp;ndash; but I was not that sensitive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not a second later, I let out a hearty laugh and abruptly raised my gaze to confirm the effect of his therapy to my entertainer. Amused, I pinched his cheek that had paled a few shades, only to stroke the oppressed area afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Sometimes I don&amp;rsquo;t know what I&amp;rsquo;d do without you,&amp;rdquo; I almost whispered, but he knew how to take that. As a sign of relief, he simply shoved a third piece of the chocolate into my mouth and ruffled my messy hair with a familiar gesture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;You really get used to those bastards when you&amp;rsquo;ve been on tour with them.&amp;quot; I expressed what had been on my mind in the way which Sisky had wanted me to; I finally talked about it. He could tell it was stressing me.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Sisky&amp;nbsp;nodded. Then he looked at me, not only from the side but also bent a little forward to catch my gaze.&lt;br /&gt;A chill went down my spine, leaving goose bumps. He had the awkward ability to reason my thoughts and make me aware of their meaning before I got them straight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;But you haven&amp;rsquo;t&amp;nbsp;felt this bad&amp;nbsp;whenever you had to abstain from Gabe before,&amp;quot; he pointed out, &amp;quot;Mostly it was the other way around, wasn&amp;rsquo;t it?&amp;rdquo; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Unnoticed, I winced and inhaled sharply through slightly parted lips for a second. I looked helplessly at Sisky and wished for a miracle of salvation as he frowned. It was not a good sign that my heart was beating&amp;nbsp;this fast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Wait,&amp;quot; he started, &amp;quot;Don&amp;rsquo;t tell me you&amp;rsquo;re-&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Before he could say something more he was interrupted by a pointed scream of joy that definitely came from outside of the bus and sounded just like, &amp;quot;GA-A-A-B-E-E-Y!&amp;quot; with a lot of imagination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I exhaled heavily and thanked my soul mate for his awfully bad timing.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

And I had a second and bestest beta ever by &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser ljuser-name_roflkopter&apos; lj:user=&apos;roflkopter&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://roflkopter.livejournal.com/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://roflkopter.livejournal.com/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;roflkopter&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;. I adore you for sitting down and helping when I need you!. And of course it is for everybody who kept sticking to my stories so much even if I don&apos;t have a lot of stuff going right now. I love all of you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;/lj&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Gabe pushed the big grey button, turning the volume on the stereo up much louder than it already was to try and pretend that he didn&apos;t hear the loud knocks on the door. It seemed like whoever was knocking had been there for ages. But Gabe seriously didn&amp;rsquo;t feel like seeing anyone or anything right now. He just wanted to feel sorry for himself for being best friends with someone like Will who was too blind and too stupid to see that he made one mistake after another. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Gabe sighed, punishing himself wordlessly for leaving the Academy CD in his player and not feeling like switching it to another one. So it was William Fucking Beckett who screamed into his ears - and through the door of his room - to show that he was going through a heavily depressed phase right now. He wanted to tell &apos;fuck off&apos; to everyone who thought that telling him that everything would be totally awesome and okay as soon as possible would be a very great idea. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Gabe didn&amp;rsquo;t want to have Nate and Alex pulling him out of his room and distracting him with whatever they thought was funny and exciting right now. Maybe something like renting an almost broken car and driving around the most fucked-up places in New York as if they were tourists from Europe who still thought that it would be cool to do things like that. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;And of course, he definitely didn&amp;rsquo;t need Ryland to have a serious &amp;lsquo;You know how William is, still a kid&amp;hellip;&amp;rsquo; talk with him, telling Gabe that he still had to keep trying and hoping and fighting, because one day he would get to the point he wanted to be at. But Gabe stopped believing in that long, long ago. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;And he didn&apos;t even want Sisky to call and tell him that he was just as mad as the older singer of the befriended band about Bilvy going back to this girl who broke his heart so often. He didn&amp;rsquo;t want to hear Adam&amp;rsquo;s worries about seeing the young adult broken-down one more time, drinking and partying even more than he actually was doing while being on tour. He didn&apos;t want to hear Adam tell him that he hated losing his best friend for the few months or even just weeks that they would be staying together. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;He didn&amp;rsquo;t want to hear anything that confirmed that William not being single anymore wasn&amp;rsquo;t just one of Gabe&amp;rsquo;s stupid nightmares. And he hated that he didn&amp;rsquo;t need any more facts to know exactly that it was the truth. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Sighing deeply, and feeling the heavy pain in his chest, he bent over to the radio, switching it off and leaning back against the wall. He knocked his head against it on purpose to try and ban this boy from his head. But of course, he failed. Just like he had done all the years before. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The light blue pillow next to him seemed to be perfect for squeezing a lot, so he grabbed it and pressed it to his curled-up frame, wrapping his long, slender arms around it before he suddenly decided not to be so childish anymore by cutting his friends out of his life; he totally knew that they wanted to help him. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;And because he knew them all better than he knew himself, even better than the contents of his own closet &amp;ndash; which had to mean something &amp;ndash; Gabe knew from the sounds of the knocks on the old door that it was Vicky who felt like being there for him today. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Feel free to come in, baby girl. I won&amp;rsquo;t bite you!&amp;rdquo; he called, trying to sound as lovely and sugary as possible He really adored this girl for being how she was. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;She took a few careful barefooted steps forward, sticking her head into the small but very comfortable room, grinning naturally. She immediately started acting like the real Vicky-T, just to cheer him up for a second before she would be going back to being serious and all-ears. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;It&apos;d probably be me biting you, Gabey-Baby!&amp;rdquo;  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;And of course, that brought a smile to his face which was already hidden in the pillow.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;I hate him, with all my heart,&amp;rdquo; he mumbled, almost running teeth into his tongue because of those few swallowed words, tensing his shoulders and hoping she would get it. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;She did. She was a girl, after all. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Vicky sat down next to him, doing nothing else but watching Gabe&apos;s back rise and fall for a few moments before she said what her mind already told her so many times before without spilling it out. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Of course you do!&amp;rdquo; It sounded so easy, like she truly meant it. Gabe tilted his head up, frowning at his friend and wondering if she really couldn&apos;t figure him out anymore. &amp;ldquo;You&amp;rsquo;ll hate him until he&apos;s doing the next thing that&apos;s just too cute to stand or be mad at him for. Or until he&amp;rsquo;s leaving sweet notes on the curtain of your bunk or texting nonsense stuff in the middle of the night just to let you know he feels blessed to call you his best friend.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Gabe smiled. He remembered all of those lovely, meaningful situations and how satisfied William was when Gabe felt happy about them. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;You&apos;ll hate him until he hums or whines or giggles when you are cooking him pancakes for breakfast, acting like he never had better food. Or until he sits down next to you with his guitar and playing some random new song he wrote. And especially when he tells you he wrote it because it reminded him of a day you two spent together.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Gabe pressed his lips together. Were all these things supposed to heal his broken heart and let him stay in that state of being &amp;lsquo;the bestest friend William Beckett could ever have wished for&amp;rsquo;? &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Or until he appears backstage at one of our shows, after he forced the guys to drive through the whole state just to be able to see our show this one evening, just to sing &amp;lsquo;Snakes&amp;rsquo; with you and grinning like he was about to explode with joy?&amp;rdquo; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Gabe nodded; Vicky was right.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;You&apos;ll never be able to hate him, &apos;cause you love him too much ... and no girlfriend or bitch in the world will ever change that, honey,&amp;rdquo; she whispered, comforting him by rubbing his back with tiny strokes. She bent and placed a kiss on his temple, earning an honest smile from his soft lips. &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please also check out &lt;a href=&quot;http://emorockkid.livejournal.com/7819.html&quot;&gt;my other stories&lt;/a&gt; and go and vote on my &lt;a href=&quot;http://emorockkid.livejournal.com/8574.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;oneshot idea listing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: smaller;&quot;&gt;Oh and I have to share a little insider with you.&lt;br /&gt;Me and dramacrumb were chatting on msn when I sent her the story.&lt;br /&gt;And following thing happened:&lt;br /&gt;First, her player shuffle brought &apos;&lt;strong&gt;You can&apos;t be missed if you never go away&lt;/strong&gt;&apos; by Cobra&lt;br /&gt;My last fm shuffle brought &apos;&lt;strong&gt;Checkmarks&lt;/strong&gt;&apos; by TAI&lt;br /&gt;Her shuffle then played &apos;&lt;strong&gt;We got a big mess on our hands tonite&lt;/strong&gt;&apos; from TAI mine did &apos;&lt;strong&gt;Give it up&lt;/strong&gt;&apos; by Midtown.&lt;br /&gt;And just a minute before this song ended her shuffle spilled &apos;&lt;strong&gt;After the last midtown show&lt;/strong&gt;&apos; by TAI&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, anybody left who seriously thinks that those two are not ment to be together if they already start manipulating fangirl-shuffles?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

He sat on the wooden counter, his long legs swinging a little bit as he tried to take in what he had just seen, heard and experienced in his new school. Finally he was able to be excited after clinging to Pete&amp;rsquo;s hand in fear of this one more &amp;lsquo;new thing&amp;rsquo;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Moving from their big house in sunny, bright &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:city w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;Los Angeles&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt; to this sweet apartment in rather rainy &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:city w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;Chicago&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt; was okay with him. Getting used to Pete being around him and Brendon all the time was totally fine. But having to deal with a room full of foreign kids who would for sure all be very different from him, was the hardest part do deal with.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Brendon was in his and William&amp;rsquo;s room for nap-time, although the oldest of the three Beckett brothers would have allowed him to stay awake for this special day. The walk, in their case almost run, through the building had tired the vividness out of him totally. He already got dizzy in Pete&amp;rsquo;s arms before they even left, rubbing his cheek on the warm shoulder, the small fingers grabbing the dark, casual shirt and mumbling &amp;ldquo;No, only my face!&amp;rdquo; when he had been asked if he was tired.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;The older of the two kids had wanted to help baking the muffins or preparing the dishes, but because it was &lt;i style=&quot;&quot;&gt;his and only his big day&lt;/i&gt; Pete refused to let him do anything. Secretly the young adult just didn&amp;rsquo;t want William to ruin the black, silky pants which he only lent from a costume store to spare money. Even with earning more money since he signed the contract for his band, he still stuck to the skill to save each dollar he could. Just in case.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Being at the celebration in school, people were wondering about the little group of boys walking along with the usual families. Every now and then Pete was asked if the little jumping one over here was his son. And he had grabbed Brendon by the hips, lifted him up into his embrace and answered that it wasn&amp;rsquo;t like that, but he was his older brother and caring for him and William ever since. No one had to know that his parents had been killed in a car accident shortly after Brendon was born. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;It was already for years ago. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;You looked so great when you were standing in front of all those older people&amp;hellip; almost like a little young gentleman!&amp;rdquo;, Pete stated, tipping his wet finger to Williams nose and leaving some of the dish-water. The younger frowned in surprise, asking himself why this statement was brought up so suddenly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;It was okay. Just like how it feels&amp;hellip; or felt when I was in choir!&amp;rdquo;, William told him and noticed in the same second, somewhere deep in his head, why his brother chose the words. He always was close to tears, being so proud of Will, when the choir joined a show and it was always this one voice he was able to make out over everyone else&amp;rsquo;s. There was nothing Pete loved more than William and Brendon. Absolutely nothing. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Pete stopped the lunch preparation for a second to turn around and mess William&amp;rsquo;s hair a little bit, before he bent down a little to kiss an exposed part of his forehead. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;The oldest had wished he could have arranged this little party with everything a boy at William&amp;rsquo;s age defines as &amp;lsquo;family&amp;rsquo;: A mum, a dad, maybe grandparents, a huge bunch of friends and a lot of little surprises to make the day even better.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;He had hoped he could have told him what his parents did when he was having his first school experience. But he neither could remember it completely nor did he ever learn to be a real dad or parent. He was only the big brother &amp;ndash; just one year older than the legal age. And sometimes he doubted that how he acted was all right to the little ones.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;But it filled him up with pride and the best possible way of happiness that both William and Brendon called themselves lucky and satisfied with the way it was. In their own &amp;ndash; thank god &amp;ndash; still childish ways. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;He was close to let go of cuddling his brother once more to finish what he started, when he heard the door bell ringing and frowned a little in confusion. Anyone that mattered owned a key to their home and he wouldn&amp;rsquo;t find a reason why&amp;hellip;. Just before Pete could finish the phrase in his mind, his dark brown eyes fixed the counter to see that William already hopped off of the massive wood and was running to the entrance to their little home; his hair getting really messy and almost tripping over the too-long fabric of his expensive pants. But even if Pete did see it, he wouldn&amp;rsquo;t have minded anymore as soon as he saw this honestly felt sunshine on the face of the younger guy. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Will hesitated a second, all nervous all of the sudden, then his long bony fingers grabbed the doorknob to open the door.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;The first thing hitting him with joy was a pearly white toothy smile sent out by his best friend Adam, who he knew since he was three tiny years old. The brown-haired taller one took a small step to the side to let his visitors and guests inside. Only then Adam, or Sisky as his mates preferred to call him, minimized the distance between them and wrapped his little arms around his friend, hugged him tightly just like they would mean it in the way the grown-ups do. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;It was possibly the first thing they were supposed to learn when they started spending time together and sharing toys on a regular basis. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;I thought you had a key!&amp;rdquo;, Bilvy blurted out and shot a nice glare up into the higher ceiling where he expected Patrick&amp;rsquo;s face. As usual when he was around him and Pete and Brendon, Patrick was smiling, lovely and calm, just the way they learned to love him. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;And even if William didn&amp;rsquo;t really know about this thing called &amp;lsquo;love&amp;rsquo; in that one special way, he was sure that Pete did love Patrick a lot, probably more than anyone else existing. Adam did know as well. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;As much as he loved snuggling up with the not-that-tall man who had those big, pretty blue eyes, he always kind of kept waiting for a sign that it was ok, showing his respect. Like a stroke on his back, Pat letting his fingers play with the messy hair or at least taking his hand while holding Adam&amp;rsquo;s as well when they went further into the apartment they spent most of their time in.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Today was special, so William was allowed to jump up a little and throw himself into Patrick&amp;rsquo;s arms, pressing his cheek into the space between Patrick&amp;rsquo;s shoulder and the neck while he wrapped his tiny arms around only the half of the man&amp;rsquo;s muscular upper-body to get a better hold of himself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Adam and me wanted to surprise you and let you decide if it&amp;rsquo;s ok that we are joining your big, fantastic party!&amp;rdquo;, he stated, watching the kid to interpret his reactions and taking in what he saw in his mimics and gestures. He studied this little guy&amp;rsquo;s behaviour since he got to know him at kindergarten, when all the men were asked to show up to celebrate father&amp;rsquo;s day. He had painted a beautiful fairy with silver wings for this blood-young guy Patrick hoped wasn&amp;rsquo;t his dad&amp;hellip; cause he already had still been too much of a kid to take care of a new, fragile life when Adam was born.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;He wanted to guarantee that he never willingly wanted to misunderstand or mistreat his boyfriend&amp;rsquo;s brother.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;ldquo;Of course, Patty! I love you guys and I am happy that you&amp;rsquo;re here!&amp;rdquo;, William spoke out, softly but firm as well, just telling the truth and started feeling pretty comfortable in this daddy-ish embrace. He guessed he soon would have to move from this place to make room for someone else.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;And it didn&amp;rsquo;t take that long at all. As quickly as Adam decided to sneak into the kitchen and look for his so-called &amp;lsquo;second daddy&amp;rsquo;, Pete came back into the living area, carrying Adam in his arms the same way Patrick did with his little brother.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;The atmosphere went to being awesome one once again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;You are early!&amp;rdquo; The words spoken from the full lips of the raven haired young man were all soft and anything but complaining. He just felt a little awkward that things weren&amp;rsquo;t finished by now. But a quick second after this thought he leant back emotionally and remembered that Patrick wouldn&amp;rsquo;t mind.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Soon they were close to each other, sharing trustful and deep looks before Pete shifted Adam&amp;rsquo;s weight with his left arm to free the right one and took a hand to cup Patrick&amp;rsquo;s cheek, finally pulling him closer to press his lips firmly to those of his boyfriend, being gentle to do it as tender as possibly; letting him know how much he missed him during the last few days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Patrick, four years older than his counterpart, had to get things cleared up for his son to get ready to get into first grade.

It was almost unbelievable and maybe not healthy how dependant he had been becoming being close to Patrick.

And Pete was curious when he was actually going to give Adam the drawing he painted yesterday. It showed Pete, Patrick, Brendon and both of the boys standing next to a big house, holding hands.

Little Gabriel didn&amp;rsquo;t like to wear the clothes his mom bought for him, but it was a big day for him today so he was excited about wearing the nice silky pants and tie with the blue planes on which he had been allowed to choose himself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 51, 204);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 51, 204);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;He looked at Ryan, who giggled a little bit after placing the tender boyish kiss on the small place that seemed to hurt Gabe. Then he shot a happy glare to his so-different brother. With only being five-years-old, there was nothing that Ryan was more proud of than his brother being so smart and intelligent and clever enough to be allowed to go to school! He was so excited when he helped his mom getting the candies for Gabe&amp;rsquo;s bag, even if his tiny hands almost smashed them totally. Their mother knew that the love between the both of the boys was big enough to take the situation as something nice and lovely.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 51, 204);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 51, 204);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Are you excited, Gabe?&amp;rdquo; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 51, 204);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 51, 204);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Gabe sighed deeply. Of course he was. It was his very first day in his new school and he didn&amp;rsquo;t know what the other kids would be like; if they would be nice or if they would tease him for his thick, curly black hair. If they would all be as bad at reading as him or if anyone would mind that his favourite subject would totally be music (he especially loved singing). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 51, 204);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 51, 204);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;The only thing calming him down right now was the fact that only the celebration took part today and he had still two days left until the real lessons would start.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 51, 204);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 51, 204);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;He offered a hand to Spencer - who had asked the question - to help him sit down on the couch next to him where Ryan wasn&amp;rsquo;t placed. Spencer and Ryan were twins, but Gabe always wondered if his teacher in kindergarten had make a mistake when she told him that most twins were exactly the same. She had said that twins looked like one another and they were basically the same individual, but this wasn&amp;rsquo;t true for his brothers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 51, 204);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 51, 204);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;They were both calm kids, and very smart, but when Spencer ran around on the playground outside, acting like Robin Hood or Batman, Ryan would be sitting on the curb of the street, dozens of crayons in every possible colour laying right next to him in an order of the prettiest, probably drawing a big red and yellow sun with a moon next to it, and the sea right underneath it, or a tree with big shiny apples.

As he bounced in his seat, watching trees and people ran along the car window, he started humming the familiar melody which was playing in Vicky&amp;rsquo;s player, also singing some snatches of the lyrics which he was able to remember. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 51, 204);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 51, 204);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Suddenly though, Gabe snapped out of his singing altogether, and turned his head to watch his sister observing the streets, a knowing smile on her face.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 51, 204);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 51, 204);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Then he grabbed the little stuffed angel he gave her before her very first ride with the dark-blue Beetle; it was there to protect her, he&amp;rsquo;d said.

His skin was pale, almost white, and he had long chestnut hair, falling in waves over his shoulders. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 51, 204);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 51, 204);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Gabe thought he&amp;rsquo;d maybe seen a hint of sadness in the dark, flickering eyes when he saw the boy hide in the shadow of an older person, almost a young man, who had a serious look on his too-young-to-be-a-daddy face. They obviously talked to each other, but Gabe stood too far away to understand at least one word. But how could a seven-year-old boy be so extremely shy?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 51, 204);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 51, 204);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Gabe shook his head, smiling and entwined his fingers with those of his brothers, pretending to take care of them, while their parents talked to their teacher and Vicky was forced to pay her full attention to the one and only Gabe Saporta Candy Bag&amp;hellip; with the snakes on it. And the planes. And the colourful stars of course. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 51, 204);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(204, 51, 204);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Gabe was just so heavily excited that he walked a step faster, causing Ryan to almost fall over once again. But he wasn&amp;rsquo;t about to complain about that. This was Gabe&amp;rsquo;s big day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A/N: Feedback is love and feel free to judge me as hard as possible, cause I want to get better and better :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Comic Sans MS&amp;quot;; color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I miss you&amp;hellip;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brendon inhaled deep, desperate, and tried to ignore the pain, which increased intensity in his lungs, trying to get control over his feelings again.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;He was scared, terrified &amp;ndash; of the irregular, unnatural shallow breath, which didn&apos;t let his own chest rise and fall, but proved Ryan&apos;s full weakness; of the words, he should whisper for giving hope and comfort, more for himself than for the almost lost person. Fear of the unbearable certainty of what would come, and the irrevocably fact that he couldn&apos;t change anything, as much as he hoped, prayed and fought, pressing Ryan to his trembling body &amp;ndash; he wouldn&apos;t be able to save him.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Without a word, his lips touched the neck of the older man tenderly, and breathed life towards him, which he desired for him so much; during the last twelve months, when they fought against fate and its injustice &amp;ndash; and all the more now. How often at night had Brendon yelled into the silence, being alone in the darkness, when Ryan had been finally welcomed by sleep in his hospital bed, after hours of unbearable torture and strong medicine? How many countless times had he broken down in Spencer&apos;s arms, and begged him to do anything; anything to change this cruelty? How long had he spent with books and on the internet, searching for any possibility to not let go of him? How many overpriced experts had he paid to find a solution for this insoluble case?&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;And he hated himself for never finding the right way. But all the more, he hated the damned helplessness.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Clasping his boyfriend&apos;s fingers even tighter, Ryan snuggled a bit more into Brendon&apos;s embrace, ignoring his physical exhaustion, so that he could rest his head on the other chest easily, and feel the soft breath in his hair. He loved this unique feeling, the warmth, and the sound of Brendon panting into his hair. Let alone this, he had denied the chemotherapy.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Brendon closed his lids and lips shut to ignore the coldness of Ryan&apos;s fingers, how lifeless and light they seemed; without any grip and abandoned from any strength. Rather, he remembered the nights on the tour bus, when Ryan crawled on the quiet into his bunk, and he held his icy hands to bring them back to life again with his own body heat. Bren used to love Ryan&apos;s warm and soft hands; he loved to stroke them tenderly, and cover the palm with sloppy, confessing kisses, when he needed too many momentous words to express honestly, how much he was bewitched by this man.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Breathing in deep, the sick, but still indescribable beautiful, young man raised his head in order to moan disappointed.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;His eyes fixed the colorful, romantic night sky through the big, open window of the bedroom.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Brenny, that&apos;s unfair!&amp;quot; Playful, and with some affected insult in the shaky, ever slightly monotonous voice, Ryan tried to complain, and pushed his lower lip forwards, in a pouting way; not showing that every little move took incredibly much energy from him.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Unnoticed by the senses of his soul mate, Brendon fought down his ascending tears. Yes, it was so unfair that he had received everything a human being could ever desire, but not life for Ryan, which he craved more than anything else in the world, and he would be willing to give up and sacrifice everything for. It was the most cruel fact on Earth that now that Ryan finally began to live and enjoy to face his past with this certain strength, the tumor had settled in his head to drag him slowly away from life. It was the cruelest thing, Brendon Urie could experience that Ryan&apos;s doctors hadn&apos;t even a slight chance to react. Out there, was certainly someone, who wanted Ryan to die, and this person had to be somebody without any soul or heart, wishing somebody so lovely and irreplaceable like Ryan the death. He was the first one, who deserved life.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Again, Brendon pressed Ryan closer into his imploring arms.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;What do you mean my angel?&amp;quot; he asked, with a shaky tone in his low voice, and noticed, when the first tears overcame him.&lt;br /&gt;He didn&apos;t want to show weakness; not now that Ryan needed all the positive energy, he could get. But with the modification in the situation of their lives, their roles had exchanged as well. While Brendon used to bury himself in dark pessimism, and almost drowned in his own desperation, it had been Ryan, who went outside, welcoming every little sunbeam with an open heart, and drawing joy for both of them.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;The younger man envied him for his abnormal strength.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;You have been going on my nerves for four years now, with your pink colored sun, which always rises, when we look into the sky together...&amp;quot; Brendon&apos;s tears quietly dropped onto Ryan&apos;s pale forehead, running over the bridge of his nose, until they left a salty trail on his lips.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Ryan didn&apos;t want to be the reason, why he cried or suffered. The guilt tore him to pieces, but he tried not to leave him to the pain too much.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;...And today, when I really want to see it... it&amp;rsquo;s yellow... yellow! What beautiful thing is yellow? Yellow is stupid!&amp;quot; Sobs reached his ear, and he closed his eyes. Damn, he wanted to live! Only a bit longer to find somebody for Brendon, to make him as happy as Ryan wanted him to be.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Baby?&amp;quot; He felt his limbs slowly getting heavier, but resolution won over physical strength, so that he crawled up a bit to be on the same level with Brendon&apos;s face.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;What he saw let him fall into sadness.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;The eyes of his big love were dull and moist, the dark, honest brown discolored, and distorted by fine, thin lines of blood, which proved many hours of grief. The exactly curved outlines of his mouth were sore, and the youthful features became pale and skinny. His bones clearly remarkable under the thin skin, and the impish pink glimmer disappeared from his chubby cheeks.&lt;br /&gt;For Ryan it was like looking into the mirror, and watching his own downfall. Brendon died emotionally with him, even when it was the last thing he wanted, he couldn&apos;t avoid it. The wish had just slipped out of his hands.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Trembling, lead by a vague look, he touched the temples of his boyfriend with rough fingertips, before Brendon carefully bent forward to catch his lips for a painful kiss; pleading and desperate at the same time. The salt in this touch seemed to unite the both, giving them their wish of eternity, until Ryan needed to break off to fill his weak lungs with air again.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;He lowered his eyes for a second, his hand resting on Bren&apos;s chest to feel the beat of his heart. It was so much stronger than his own could be at the moment. For some long time, he paused, listening to the familiar breath, and searching for words, which would fit now. Only then, he looked for their eye contact again, and didn&apos;t even break it, though he knew without any doubt, it could break him down anytime.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Brendon, you know, that I don&apos;t need to see a pink sun shine, which means the most to me. Nothing could replace what you give to me...&amp;quot; He paused to collect himself again, and put a quick kiss on Brendon&apos;s lips, which were trembling uncontrolled. He lost him just now, and he tried not to see the goodbye, Ryan just prepared for, without even being aware of it himself.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;You didn&apos;t help me finding luck... You are everything, I would ever call luck. Would somebody ask me about the definition of &apos;perfect&apos;, I would write your name on a white piece of paper &amp;ndash; nothing else!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Brendon was sobbing, whimpering, and he felt the urge to scream to make him stop. Stopping to give up, because he felt how every energy led into emptiness.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;He put his forehead against the one of his sick boyfriend, while he demanded another familiar nosy kiss. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Ryan wanted to tell him to be happy again, without him, but nevertheless he knew that this would mean the following death of Brendon&apos;s loving heart, so he had written it all down in a little book, which Spencer and Jon would give to him, once he had recovered after &apos;the end&apos; &amp;ndash; at least on the surface.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;He felt, how his heart and chest were filled with emptiness, and the pain slowly left for numbness; he pushed himself closer into Brendon&apos;s arms.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;I love you. More than the moon loves the sun, Brendon Urie!&amp;quot; he whispered, and hid his face in the smooth bend of his neck, before he tiredly closed his eyes... He couldn&apos;t have imagined something more beautiful for this moment than to rest in Brendon&apos;s arms, and to know that he had found the most precious and wonderful thing in the world, which he was able to call his own. That he had reached his goal to find the other half of his soul.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;The &amp;quot;I love you even more, Ryan Ross...&amp;quot;, which came bitterly, but clearly from the lips of the physical stronger person, was the last thing Ryan heard; the so much enjoyed kiss onto the unnatural light back of his head, and Brendon&apos;s heartbeat against his palm, the last thing he felt, until he closed his eyes for the last time, still having a smile on his lips.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
