Date: Sun, 5 Oct 2014 17:59:30 +1000 From: Addisyn Draco Batchelor Subject: Ok. Ch. 10 This story is a work of fiction. any similarities are completely coincidental. 'Ok.' contains love and sex between teenage boys. Any mention of celebrities or characters from tv is not an assumption of their sexuality.The obvious thing if you don't like this is to go somewhere else. If it is illegal to read this where you're from please do the same. It also contains some coarse language, just coz it's hard to write naturally without writing the way I speak. Overall I'd rate it M for mature audiences, so if you're not old enough to be here, please seriously consider not being here. This is my first public submission, but please don't hold back. If you'd like to send me an email, I look forward to it - addisyn.draco@gmail.com. Thanks to Nifty, who do an amazing job helping writers be read. Donate if you can! Recording. Ax and I spend the rest of the day walking around every inch of the house casting protection charms. When we were done we made sure the doors were locked and protected against evil. Ax's brother frightened the hell out of me. Something in his eyes chilled me to the core. I mean, the dude was at my house and I felt too scared to tell him to go. His voice put me right back in that chair, in the pitch black darkness. "Well, that's all the protection magic I know," Ax says, breaking me from my thoughts, "the best we can do now is hope our power is enough." I ask, "Why do you think Zayk wanted to hurt me? Why does he want us away from eachother?" He replies, "Zayk hates when I'm happy. He knows I'm strongest when I am content and happy with my life. That's why I haven't seen him in 13 years, his purpose in life is to be natural opposition for me. He will show up until he's stopped" "But why now? And was he telling the truth about incinerating people?" "Yes, he was telling the truth. And I've never really been happy. That's kept me hidden. When I met you, I became the happiest boy alive. That must have given him something to home in on." "Then why didn't he know we have the same powers? If he can track you, why didn't he know I have the same signal?" "That, I don't know. Anyways, haven't we got an album to write?" That boy! I'd completely forgotten about the album. Which reminds me, I want to try my magic out and conjure a recording studio. You'd think I would have had one put in, but it was just low on the list. "That is true. We do. Want to help me conjure a recording studio?" I ask. "I thought you'd never ask!" He replied, with a silly grin on his face. Within half an hour we had magically converted my broom closet into a state of the art recording studio with any instrument we could ever dream of. We used something Ax called "space displacement" to make the broom closet larger than it actually is, so it's quite a large room. Ax says that when we walk into it, we're walking into a parallel pocket of the universe. It was a lot like a TARDIS. Smaller on the outside than on the inside. Once it was all done we started recording 'Älska Honom'. It turns out that, like the way I share Ax's powers, he shares my talents too. He was just as good a singer as me. So I decided to use Ax's voice in a few tracks. He was thrilled. "I've always wanted to record a song!" He gushes, that amazing grin lighting the room. "But I've never had a good enough voice." "Well, I've never been able to throw things around the room with my mind, or talk to people inside their head. So I guess we're even." I say, trying to match his grin. He starts laughing. His laugh always makes me laugh too. It's just so beautiful, I get all giggly. It turns out that Ax is a natural drummer. He says he's never had a lesson, but as soon as he picked up the sticks he was playing like a pro. I hand him a guitar and tell him to play something. He fiddles around with it a bit, and then starts playing the tune to Älska Honom. My jaw drops. "How are you doing that?" I ask. It took me years to learn those chords. "I'm a quick study." He says with a spark in his eyes. I double over laughing and he joins me. "Honestly, I don't know, I just can." He adds. I had an idea. If Ax could do something I can't, maybe the same could be true for me. Then we may have an edge over Zayk. "Here, try this." I say as I hand him my favourite instrument, a violin. I've never been able to play it. He takes it in his hands, inspects it for a second and assumes a perfect playing position. He raises the bow and starts to play a beautiful song that I've never heard before. I sit, hypnotized by this perfect angel playing one of the most beautiful instruments in the world. I was afraid to reach out and touch him, he may not be real. It could all be an elaborate dream, or a coma fantasy. He ends the song and I slowly return to Earth. "That was the most beautiful thing I've heard in my life." I choke out through tears. He comes straight up to me and begins to kiss me, deeply and passionately. I guess he is real. ADB.
