'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! Born Strange. II. Ax and I left Dyl and Vlad and went to the hotel restaurant. I'd been meaning to ask Ax how his song was going. I know that he's gonna write an awesome song, he just needs the motivation to do so. "So, I think I've finished that song you wanted me to write." Ax says, with a knowing look. He obviously could 'hear' me thinking about it. "It's called Born Strange. Can I play it for you?" "Holy shit babe, awesome. Please play it!" I say, perhaps a little too shocked. Ax looks around to make sure no one was watching, and conjures an acoustic guitar. He starts playing the intro, then starts to sing. It's a fast paced and exciting song with emotional lyrics and a great beat. My boy is a genius. Just give me my meds, try to help me sleep Lock me up and tie me to my bed So I've fucked up my life? I'm not worthy to keep? God knows I'm probably better off dead My future and insanity, my fucked up head They're mine to claim, mine to reap But don't worry, carry on, sleep well and sweet You'll never understand my mind, it's way too deep I'm not dangerous, not that perverse I'm not at all deranged I'm not too crazy, I just think in reverse And I was born a little strange Grab some holy water, load up your guns, let loose your daughters but lock up yours sons, You know I'm coming yeah I'm almost in range, so be afraid cause I was born strange. So just give me meds, fuck with my head Lock me away, pretend that I'm dead Cry and forget. Lie and regret. I'm just me. And I was born strange I'm gonna be better than anything you've seen Go places no one's been, meet princes, kings and queens But that doesn't matter coz i act like a teen. And fuck with peoples heads to extremes Grab some holy water, load up your guns, let loose your daughters but lock up yours sons, You know I'm coming yeah I'm almost in range, so be afraid cause I was born strange When he plays the last note, he looks up and sees tears in my eyes. And tears in the eyes of everyone that had stopped to listen to him belt his song out. The impromptu audience that had formed around us start applauding, making Ax blush. He seriously looked like he didn't know why they were clapping "Babe, that was one of the most amazing things I've ever heard! Your first song is going to be a number one hit! Like, within seconds! I'd be surprised if it wasn't up on Youtube by now." I gush. I meant every word, Ax has insane talent. "Was it really that hard?" "No, actually. It was much easier than I thought. I just started thinking about it and it came to me!." He says, sounding surprised "I knew it would. You're brilliant, boy. I keep telling you." I said. I was going to say more, but my lips were quickly way too busy, as Ax pounces on me and starts kissing me. "Thank you baby! If you hadn't have told me to write a song, I know I never would have done it. You're my inspiration, my muse." He says, in between kisses and sobs. "You better not be crying, Ax. You've just played a number one hit that you wrote in two days. There's nothing to be sad about!" "I'm crying because I'm happier than I've ever been before. You made me happier than I've ever been. Thank you, Toby Drake. Thank you." He sobs holding me close. "Are you going to tell me what our album name means now?" He adds, a cheeky grin lighting his face up. That boy, I swear. "Well, since you asked so nicely, sure. It was the first word I said to you after you asked me to be your boyfriend. But that's not all. The album is about the love I found, the love you give me. That magical brand of beauty and affection your gorgeous Swedish self exudes. OK stands for Om Kärlek, which means..." "About Love..." He finishes for me. I smile to confirm it. That's when Vlad and Dyl come runnng up to us. "Where did you guys go? We thought you didn't like us anymore!" Dylin whines, a sad puppy look on his cute face. "Yeah, Dyl was about to start crying until I suggested we just look for you." Vlad adds. "I was not!" Dyl yells, and punches Vlad's arm. "You were too!" He retorts, returning the punch. I could see this getting out of hand, so I temporarily 'paralyzed' them. It was necessary, I swear. I didn't at all just want them to shut up for a minute or two..... They were standing there, mouths open and fists raised, glaring at eachother, but the couldn't move. It was funny to watch, they looked so cute when they were pretending to hate eachother. I broke the spell and they crashed into eachother, and in turn, crashed to the ground. Ax was pissing himself laughing next to me, holding on to my knee to keep himself upright. I couldn't hold it in and broke out in hysterics. Dyl and Vlad stood up, brushed themselves off and glared at both of us, causing us both to laugh harder. Eventually they 'got the joke' and joined in. Then Dyl's tummy rumbled. By this point, we all knew what happens next. Regardless of whether we just ate most of the hotel's supplies for breakfast, he's always hungry again within an hour or two. We ordered lunch and sat down to eat it. It was delicious. I still don't know what I had, but it was quite yummy. It tasted like Japanese food, but we were in the middle of Sweden, so I'm not certain. Dyl had a hamburger the size of his head and a double serve of chips. Half of his burger ended up on his shirt, and Vlad pilfered some of his chips, but the amount of food he ate was still extraordinart. Ax decided to have lobster. It was an obvious choice, seeing as he's kind of obsessed with it. I swear, if he could empty the ocean of all the lobsters, he would. And he'd eat them all in one go. I haven't said that out loud, because he would probably do it. Vlad got a hamburger too, but it was regular sized. It wouldn't be the main cause of a future heart attack. When we were all finished and full, we decide to look danger in the eye and venture outside for the first time in 2 days. It was a risk, because futures change constantly, but we took it anyway. I kind of wanted to take my fiancé and new friends out and spoil them, so we went to the shopping district. We spent about 4 hours and $70,000, and returned home to our hotel with enough designer clothes and electronics to make Michael Jackson look like a bargain shopper. It all took up most of the limo, leaving us all squished together. We never stopped laughing, the whole time. Down aisles of stores, walking through busy streets, squished almost to death in the back of a limo, we cackled like maniacs and just generally caused havoc. It could probably be described as one of the best days for all of us. Wth all the laughing and fun, we had be forgotten one incredibly important thing. Two of us have predicted the end of everything to happen in less than 24 hours. I guess that delirious joy is as good as way as any to deal with something like that. If it is all going to end, and if there's nothing we can do about it, then the last few hours of the human race might as well be fun.
