Garden of Songs 08

After I had finished eating I stood and cleared the dishes from the table.
As I was rinsing them I felt Daniel come up behind me and slip his arms
around my waist.  Relaxing back into his hold I smiled, secure in his
embrace.
   "Are you going to use the studio now?" asked Daniel.
   "That's be right.  Be sweet and romantic to get into the studio." I
moaned playfully at him.  Daniel laughed.
   "I left my music in there if that gives you a hint." I suggested.
   "Well actually I wanted to know so I could tell if you would mind coming
out with me tonight." He said.  I turned around in his arms and wrapped my
arms around his neck.
   "Baby, I would love to.  We need to stop by a petrol station or
something though." I told him.  He reached around into his pocket.
   "Let me guess, smokes." He said producing a pack from his pocket.  I
smiled and nodded.
   "You know me too well.  You even got my brand." I told him, kissing him
lightly.
   "Dan, you think that I don't know most of you, considering how long
we've known each other.  Hell, I knew you smoked before your parents."
   "That's because I sat out the front of your place when I was 15 and had
a smoke and didn't let my parents know until I was 18 that I smoked.  I
wasn't going to tell you but you caught me."
   "Dan, I already knew, you had a habbit of leaving your pack on your bed
for me to find." Daniel countered. I smiled.
   "Guilty as charged.  Did you ever tell Mum?" I asked.  Daniel shook his
head.
   "It wasn't up to me.  It was your call because it was your habbit.  She
knew though because she could smell it." I hung my head a little then put
my head down on his shoulder.
   "Why do I love you so much?" I asked.
   "Misfortune?" Laughed Daniel. I poked my tongue at him and he leant in
and started to suck on my tongue.  I opened my mouth and started to kiss
him, closing my eyes to enjoy the kiss.  After a time we broke the kiss and
I opened my eyes and looked into his eyes. I felt a warmth seep through my
body and I liked it.
   "Well, where did you want to go?" I asked him.
   "I don't know.  Movies?"
   "And stand by while you get mobbed by screaming fans."
   "It'll be dark in the theatre and we can snuggle."
   "I'm there." With that I walked over and grabbed the movie times.
   "There's an 9:10 screening of 'What Lies Beneath'" Sugessted Daniel.
   "Totally romantic." I told him.  He just shrugged.
   "'Charlie's Angels'?" I asked.  He shook his head.
   "I've seen it... it's crap." I just nodded and finally agreed on 'What
Lies Beneath'.  With that I went to my room and grabbed some clothes and
headed for the shower.

Standing in under the water I felt something behind me.  Turning I saw
Daniel standing there, undressed in the shower with me.  It wasn't the
first time we had seen each other naked, but this time there was a little
more to it.  I took the step towards him and then leant in and kissed him.
I wrapped my arms around his waist and pulled him close.  Our bodies
touching, we shared body warmth as the water trickled down in small streams
over our bodies.  The water hit our heads and slid down over our faces, we
didn't pay attention, we were too focused on the moment we were sharing at
that point.  When the kiss ended I looked at him.
   "Don't think you can make a habbit of this.  Next time wait for me to
make the offer." I told him.  He just nodded.
   "It won't happen often.  Do you know how much it took me to get the
courage up to do this?" He laughed.  I just shook my head and kissed him
again.  I could feel the effect of my kiss pressing against me as I slipped
my hand down and started to massage his erect member.  Daniel groaned into
the kiss.  As we broke the kiss I let my lips move down over his neck and
chest.  Slowly I sank to my knees and the down to his hard member and
gently I started to lick it.  Then in one move I inhaled it all and let my
tongue move around the shaft passing incredible sensations onto
Daniel. Over the water I could hear him moaning.  After working on him for
about five minutes I felt him tense up.
   "Dan... I'm gonna... I'm gonna." He got no further before he let loose
with his load and a low moan of pleasure.  As shot after shot raced down my
throat I made sure I let none spill out, drinking it all greedily.  When I
came off his cock, I rose back up to my feet, got a mouthful of water and
rinsed.  I then leant against him and put my head on his shoulder. We then
just stood there holding each other like that.

Eventually I turned off the water and climbed out of the shower.  I handed
Daniel his towel and grabbed my own, drying quickly I pulled on some boxers
and a shirt and walked down out to the kitchen.  I had just made myself a
coffee when Daniel appeared.
   "You didn't wait in the bathroom for me.  Is something wrong?" He asked.
   "Yes and no."  Daniel cocked an eyebrow. I sighed and looked at him.
   "I guess I should let you know.  While I was staying at Robert's... well
we almost slept together.  He stopped me though.  It's worrying me because
I almost slept with him but I know it's not as bad because we didn't
actually sleep together." I confessed and looked at Daniel.  "I'm sorry."
Daniel just shook his head.
   "Don't apologise to me.  I acted like an asshole when you didn't deserve
it.  I wouldn't have blamed you if you had slept with him." He told me.  I
smiled and hugged him.  The kettle took that as it's cue to let me know it
had boiled and I turned and poured my coffee.  Turning back I looked at
him.
   "Want one?"
   "No, but after the episode in the bathroom I need a smoke."  I raised an
eyebrow.
   "How long have you been smoking?"
   "Since our first fight when you disappeared.  I needed something for my
nerves.  I bought a pack and I kinda, well got used to it.  I guess it was
something that also kept you around."  He confessed.
   "Well, you're going to quit aren't you."
   "Why should I?"
   "Because you haven't been smoking long, it'll be easier for you to quit,
it'll destroy you're voice and they'll kill you."
   "Sounds like you are selling the idea to yourself as well." He told me.
   "I'm not.  I've been smoking too long to give up.  That and what would
fans think if they saw you smoking?" I threw at him.  He just shrugged.  He
then reached behind me and grabbed the smokes and took one out.
   "Please Dan, let's not fight."  I nodded.
   "Alright, I'm not happy but I won't fight." I conceeded defeat and
grabbed my coffee and smokes then walked out the front.  Sitting down on
the front steps I put my coffee down, pulled out a smoke and light it
up. Daniel was walking down the hall, his smoke unlit.
   "Babe, before you come outside, could you go and grab my phone from my
room for me." I called.  He groaned.
   "Make me wait for me smoke why don't you." I laughed as he turned back
down the hall and grabbed my phone from my room.

When he got back to me I flipped it on and entered my PIN. Man, I had seven
voice messages.  Calling my voicebox I listened.  The first two were Daniel
when I had first disappeared, the third was my mother, the fourth Mum and
then the last three were venemous messages from Darren. Deleting them all I
leant on Daniel.
   "Why doesn't Darren like me?" I asked.
   "Why don't you like him?"
   "Touche. I don't know... there's just something about him.  That and the
fact I just had three messages from him on my phone didn't help."
   "Evil messages?"
   "Evil... such a weak word for Darren." Daniel just smiled and shook his
head. I passed him the lighter and he lit his smoke.
   "Who were the others from? I know two were mine and one was Mum."
   "The other one was my mother.  I'll call her later." I told him.  Daniel
nodded and rested his head on my shoulder.

We were both snapped from our bliss when we heard a voice call out
   "Daniel, what are you doing?" I groaned realising Darren had returned.
   "Nothing special Darren, sitting out here having a smoke."
   "Yeah with him." The way he said made me get ready to start an all out
attack.
   "Darren, don't say that.  He has a name you know."
   "Yeah well, I thought we had something going now?"
   "Really what gave you that idea?"
   "I don't know maybe last night."
   "Last night?" I asked.
   "Yeah when I fucked him good and proper because you had run off with
your nurse and left Daniel." I looked at Daniel who was looking decidedly
pissed off.
   "Darren, I don't believe Daniel could do that.  You know why, because in
our relationship we have honesty and trust.  Some talents you are yet to
acquire.  Now I suggest you leave before I seriously hurt you for lying
about Daniel."
   "You don't scare me." Darren threw at me.
   "Well I should." I told him and stood up.  I handed Daniel my smoke and
moved towards Darren who looked me in the eye and tried to be brave.  Not
that he did a good job, his body shaking slightly.  I grabbed him by the
shirt and lifted him off the ground (amazing what gym workouts can do for
the physique and strength) and shook him a bit so he was a little shaken. I
then placed him down on the ground.
   "Now you need to be scared, I'm not a good person to fuck with Darren."
As I turned I heard him.
   "Yeah, you're probably not a good person to fuck either." With that I
spun on my heel and brought my fist around and caught him on the chin.  He
sank rapidly to the ground. I looked down at him in disgust.
   "Asshole." I spat. Turned and walked back to Daniel who was standing up
in alarm now and reclaimed my smoke.
   "He'll learn not to annoy me one day." I grinned.  Daniel looked down
worriedly.
   "What if he goes to the police?"
   "And say what, he had an arguement with his bandmates boyfriend because
he wants to sleep with the bandmate? I don't think so. It would be really
bad press."  There was a disdain obvious in my voice.  Daniel nodded not
fully sure of my logic but accepting it because it was me.

When we were back inside sitting down together on the lounge and I knew
Daniel was pissed over what I did to Darren.
   "Daniel, I'm sorry, but it just hit boiling point for me." Daniel just
waved it off.
   "It's fine Dan, don't worry about it." Knowing that this was going to
take a while to blow over I stood up.
   "I'm going for a walk." Daniel stood straight up.
   "Like hell you are."
   "Why not?"
   "And have you disappear like last time only to find you in hospital?"
   "Fine, give me your car keys, I'll go for a drive."
   "No."
   "Fine, I'll cab it." With that I walked out of the room, down to my room
and grabbed my phone and wallet.  Coming by the kitchen I stopped to grab a
smoke. Daniel was there and looked at me.
   "Don't even think about it.  Those are mine." I just shrugged and put
down the pack.
   "Fine, I don't care." With that I started to walk down the hall.
   "Dan..." Daniel called from the kitchen
   "Forget it."
   "Dan..."
   "I said forget it." As I walked out the door I heard Daniel one last
time.
   "I love you."  Leaning back against the wall I sighed.
   "I love you too Daniel.  I love you too." I told him under my breath.

Climbing into the cab I looked back up at the house and tried not to see
Daniel standing there at the window watching me. I soon arrived at the
mall, not that I had been paying attention in any great detail so it could
have been much longer.  I payed the cabby and climbed out of the car.
Walking around the mall aimlessly, I was snapped to reality by my phone
ringing.  Looking at the caller ID, it showed that it was Daniel, as much
as I didn't want to talk, I answered so he wouldn't worry.
   "Hello Daniel... yeah I'm fine... Queen St Mall... okay, well what's say
twenty minutes and I'll meet you at the cinema... okay see you then." I
told him with fake cheer.  He sounded happy enough over the phone, I wish I
was the same.  I continued to walk down the street and as I walked I
spotted a couple who looked strangely familiar.  When I got closer I
realised why.  Madison Avenue had a signing in the HMV store earlier that
day and now they were probably on their break.  I was contemplating on
whether or not to go and introduce myself to them when I felt a hand on my
shoulder.  Spinning around I saw Daniel standing there behind me.
   "What happened to twenty minutes?" I asked.
   "I know you are still pissed and I didn't want to leave you like that."
   "It's okay, I'm fine now." Daniel nodded not fully believing me.
Looking behind me he waved. I turned a little and saw that he was waving to
the same people I had been wanting to go and meet.  Turning back to Daniel
I looked at him.
   "I take it you know them."
   "Yeah. I've worked with Andy before Savage Garden and we've kinda kept
in touch.  Kinda.  Let's go say hi." I just shrugged and let myself be led
over to them.  Daniel pulled out a seat between Andy and Cheyne and started
to talk briefly then signaled for me to join them and take a seat. As I sat
down he introduced me.
   "Andy, Cheyne, I would like you to meet Dan, my boyfriend." I was a
little startled he was so open.  Andy reached out and shook my hand.
   "Nice to meet you." I smiled.
   "Likewise."  Cheyne smiled and shook my hand as well.
   "Nice catch Daniel. You got yourself a cute one." I started to turn red
causing her to laugh.
   "He ain't just cute.  He can sing, dance and has just finished
travelling around with a play.  He's a multi-talented bitch." Grinned
Daniel.
   "So he can suck and fuck at the same time." Threw in Andy making me go
red again. The other three all laughed while I sat there quietly.
   "Oh dear, I think he's star struck by famous people." Cheyne commented.
   "There are famous people around here?" I threw in getting my own back at
all three.
   "Good call." Andy told me and I smiled.
   "He's right.  How many can kill three birds with one stone?" Cheyne told
me.
   "And here I was thinking I was sitting with a lady and two gentlemen,
but if you want me to call you birds..." I laughed.  Daniel looked down
shaking his head while Andy and Cheyne laughed.
   "You coming to the show tomorrow night?" Andy asked Daniel and I.
   "I tried to get tickets but they were sold out." I told him. Andy cocked
his head to the side.
   "Who needs tickets when you know the performers?"
   "Funky, I'm there.  Better ask the old man if he can cope though." I
said having a dig at Daniel.
   "Hey I can party better than you any day."
   "Just like I can drink you under the table."
   "Oh shut up." Andy and Cheyne looked at my intrigued.
   "Last time I was here visiting him we had a drinking competition.  He
had four tequilla shots and was gone.  Meanwhile, I went on to have another
two shots of tequilla not to mention a few cocktails and various other
shooters."  Cheyne looked at me impressed.
   "Someone can hold their alcohol."
   "It's taken me three years to get that good though.  That and a pickled
liver." I laughed. Daniel sat their quietly.  I kicked him under the table.
   "Head up and cheer up sweetie." Daniel lifted his head and looked at me.
It was then I realised I would need to be sleeping lightly that night.
   "We're heading off to see 'What Lies Beneath' soon.  Do you want to join
us?" I asked them.  They looked at each other then at me.
   "We'd love to." They responded together.
   "My god, they talk in stereo.  What are you two? A couple?"
   "No, we actually hate each other as a rule but we're getting along at
the moment.  Which is pretty good." Cheyne told me. We all stood together
after talking some more and made our way to the cinema.

When we finally got home, sitting there on the steps was Mum. She stood up
and hugged me then smacked me in the back of the head.
   "What was that for?" I asked confused.
   "The hug was for waking up to the fact Daniel loves you and you love
him. The reprimand was for hitting Darren.  I know he may have had it
coming but still, there are other ways."
   "He ran straight to you about it?" Daniel asked, his jaw dropping to the
ground.
   "Yes he did.  I know why he did too.  Because he knew I would come
around here and tell Dan off.  I'm not going to say any more but on a
quieter note just between us... good work Dan." She smiled and hugged me
again.
   "Now that's over, what say we go and have a coffee." Daniel offered
unlocking the door.
   "Here, here." Mum and I chorused together. Walking inside we were like
we had always been from when I was five.  Three people who were the best of
friends. I guessed Daniel wasn't as pissed as he was before.  After a while
Mum decided she was tired and left and I grabbed Daniel's car keys and
called out to him.
   "Daniel, I'm going for a drive.  I won't be long."
   "Where are you going?"
   "Petrol station."
   "Well can you put some petrol in as well please." He called down to me
from upstairs.
   "Okay.  Be back soon.  Love you." I called to him as I walked out the
door.

Driving along I realised how long it had been since I had been in a
relationhip.  7 months now.  Seven months since... well I wasn't going to
finish that thought.  Indicating I pulled over a lane then drove into the
servo.  Climbing out I poped open the petrol cap and put the funel in and
started to fill the tank.  When it was full I put that cap back on and
grabbed my wallet then headed inside to pay.  After telling them which
number and asking for my smokes, I pulled out my credit card and swiped it
through.  I then took the card back after signing the docket and as I was
turning around fumbling with my cards and smokes I walked straight into
someone.  Looking up my heart stopped.  The soft brown hair, the hazel
eyes.  This guy, whoever he was... he was, looked like, I don't know.  It
was as though Brendon had returned. I smiled and stepped back a little.
   "Sorry. I need to pay more attention." The guy smiled back.
   "Yeah well, these things happen.  Be careful though man." I nodded and
walked hastily out of the store and climbed into the car. Sitting there for
a few minutes I tried to figure it out in my head.  Shaking my head I
started the car and pulled out of where I was and back onto the road. I
wound down the window, my mind still on the guy who I had just seen in the
petrol station. Deciding not to try and logic it out, I pushed play on the
CD player and listened to whatever Daniel had been listening to.  Finding
it too depressing I just turned it off and drove in silence.

Pulling into the house I climbed straight out of the car and headed
straight for the studio calling out that I was home on my way. I opened the
door and walked into the studio then closed the door and sat down at the
piano and started to play.

	Every time I begin to forget the pain
	I see or hear something that reminds me of you
	Like a steady falling rain
	Of an honest that is never untrue

	Opening my heart, brings back feelings
	That every time is of you
	I can't ever for you, you are in everything
	My heart shows you to me in ways, uniquely you

	Please stay with me, watch over me as I sleep
	Every time I dream of you
	Let it be that my dreams are of things we whispered as we fell
asleep
	Let me always remember and be remembered by you.

Happy with my effort I stopped the recording equipment and walked out. I
found Daniel waiting outside the studio.
   "Another hit single I take it?" He asked smiling.
   "Something like that." I told him, a small, sad, smile on my face.
Daniel's face instantly became serious.
   "What's wrong?"
   "Nothing.  Anything, everything." I told him.  "I saw a guy and he
looked like Brendon.  I didn't know what to do or say.  I walked straight
into him.  He could have been Brendon's twin. I felt tears starting to
build in my eyes. I felt pathetic more than anything." I admitted.  Daniel
smiled softly and pulled me close.
   "These things happen, we've just got to be strong and learn to ignore
them.  I know you can do it.  I love you babe." With that he planted a kiss
on my forehead.  I rested my head on his shoulder and just stood there
holding him. He gently ran his hand through my hair and kissed my
forehead. Relaxing in his arms I didn't put up any resistance. Letting me
go, he then grabbed my hand and led me up the stairs to the bedroom.

Walking in Daniel turned around and gently kissed me. It was feather light
but it slowly built in passion. Soon we were hungrily devouring each
other. My lips soon wandered from his mouth down the side of his neck and
my hands started to undo the buttons on his shirt.  When they were all
undone, I slipped the shirt back off his shoulders revealing his slim body.
My lips then wandered down to his shoulders.  Kissing them is gently rubbed
his back firmly but delicately. My hands slowly slipped down over his front
and undid the clasp of his jeans then unzipped him letting his jeans fall
to the floor. I then let my hands slip down inside his boxers. I gently
grazed his erect member and brought my lips back to his and kissed him
lightly.  Daniel then pulled my hands away from him and started to undo my
shirt and pushed it to the floor.  Reaching down his undid my cargos and
let them fall uselessly to the floor.  He then pushed my boxers down to the
ground.  He then sank to his knees and started to gently suck on my own
erection.  I inhaled sharply.  My God, this boy knew how to suck cock. He
continued to suck for a few moments then brought his lips off and stood up.
He then pushed his own boxers to the ground and picked me up and lifted me
onto the bed.  Lying on top of me he kissed me long and hard, his hands
making their way down to my groin again. He started to work his hand up and
down my shaft making me groan in a pleasure. Reaching over to the bedside
table, he opened the top draw and pulled out a condom and lube.  He gently
rolled the condom down over my cock and started to rub lube over it. I
looked at him.
   "Are you sure?" Daniel took a slight breath and nodded.
   "Have you ever done this before?" I asked, again there was a slight
pause and Daniel shook his head. With that, I gently rolled him over and
grabbed some of the lube and rubbed it over his hole and then leant
forwards and kissed him.
   "Just relax, it'll make it easier. Now are you sure, if you aren't say
so now."
   "Dan, I'm sure, just a little nervous about not doing as well as your
past boyfriends."
   "You've already gone beyond what they did. You haven't given up on me
when the others would have."
   "Even Brendon?"
   "I don't know.  But let's not worry about that, that's the past, this is
the now, tomorrow is the future. The now will shape the future and leave
behind the past." I told him and leant in to kiss him.  When the kiss broke
he looked at me.
   "I love you Dan."
   "I love you too Daniel." I told him.  Then I leant in and applied a
little more lube to the condom and to Daniel's opening.  I placed the tip
of my covered cock at his hole and pushed forward slightly, noticing him
wince in pain I stopped to get him used to the feeling.  I then pushed
forward a little more. After 5 minutes or so I was fully in and I waited
for him to get used to and accomodate me being in there. When he nodded
slighlty I started to pull back out and then in, slowly at first so he
could get used to the sensation, as it moved along though, I started to
pick up a little more momentum. Daniel was soon groaning in a combination
of pleasure and pain, more pleasure than pain. I slowed again slightly to
stop the pain and Daniel stopped groaning in pain and just moaned with
pleasure.  I kept a steady rythm and after a while, my breath started to
become ragged.  Daniel must have guessed what was going to happen because
all of a sudden his ass muscles clamped down on me and sent me over the
edge.  Calling out I released my load into the rubber.  With one more
stroke I hit Daniel's prostate and sent him over the edge and he released
his load. After my breathing returned to normal I pulled out and removed
the used condom from my spent and rapidly softening cock.  I then lay down
on top of him and kissed him. His arms went up around my back and rubbed it
gently.
   "Thank you.  For offering what you did." I told Daniel as we lay there.
   "Well I wasn't about to offer it to Darren was I?" Daniel threw back
grinning.  I smiled and rested my head on his shoulder.
   "I love you." I told him. "I just need to ask a favour."
   "I love you too.  What's the favour?" Asked Daniel.
   "Never ask me to compare you to my past boyfriends.  You are different,
the same as they were different from each other. It'll be okay though, just
do that for me. Please." I basically begged him.  Daniel just nodded.
   "I can do that for you, now shut up and kiss me." I nearly laughed as I
leant down to kiss him.
