Subject: So My Heart Flies Part 2

Disclaimer: I do not know (nor am I affiliated) with Hayden Christensen
nor Nickolas Gene Carter. The idea of a Jedi is from the mind of a
genius which I am not. If it is illegal in your area to view homosexual

so we can all get on with our lives.

From the Desk of Nimm: *sigh* Yes, I am back. I am hoping that this
will be a good one. *puts on helmet and climbs into a starship* I
dedicate this to Joe-darling. We rode the waves together and I am
forever grateful for what you've done.

So My Heart Flies
Locked Journal II: Fading Smiles

The craft gently landed within the receeds of a rather tropical retreat
which Hayden took to be Akanei. He stepped off the ship and took a
breath of fresh air. The Prince walked down the gangplank, regal and
unmoving.

Hayden took his place next to the Prince and made small conversation as
they walked towards the palace. They walked towards th balcony that
looked over the beautiful and blooming gardens. "Would you like to meet
back here in five minutes?" asked Hayden.

The Prince smiled. "Sure." He walked off to change. He walked into his
chamber to find his faithful android at attention. "And how are you,
Brooks?"

"Oh it's wonderful to see you again, highness." the android replied.
He noticed something different about the Prince. "Highness, you're
smiling. Is there something wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong, Brooks." Nick replied as he dressed into more simple
clothes. Another android walked in. "Ah, Emily. How are you?"

"Highness is smiling? What about?" asked the blonde android. She walked
over towards the Prince and studied his face. She gave it a critical eye
before announcing that he wasn't physically ill.

"I just met someone. That is all." Nick smiled as he pulled away from
Emily. He shook his head. "Nothing special."

"Ooh! Tell us all about him!" they smiled as they began to unpack his
suitcases. "How did you meet him? Was he at Thesail with you? Was it a
romantic meeting?"

"He's sweet. Kind. Caring." Nick grinned. "Such a gentleman. You know,
Sir Hayden?"

Emily gasped and would pass out if her wiring permitted her. "Sir
Hayden Christensen, highness?!"

"Yes." Nick replied. "I'm going out to meet him now." He ducked out of
their way and walked towards the door, knowing that those two would be
talking for hours on end.

"Sir Hayden is the current heartthrob of the entire Jedi Order! I had
no idea he was gay!" Emily smiled. "He is so sweet and kind. I've met
him before."

"You have?" asked Brooks.

"Yes, he's pretty strong, your highness. He was able to lift me up, and
this was BEFORE I got my titanium parts. He's quite a catch if I do say
so myself." Emily sighed.

"Have fun, highness!" Brooke called out. She sighed happily. "Highness
is in love."

"Even if he won't admit it to himself." Emily added with a firm nod.


Nick walked purposely towards the balcony and saw Hayden standing,
taking in the beauty of Akanei. He cleared his throat and Hayden turned
with a notebook in hand. "Your high--Nick." he smiled.

"Hayden." The Jedi held out the notebook. "This is your writing?" He
read through the lines and verses, his face contorting in understanding
and laughter. "Your writing is wonderful."

"Thank you." Hayden replied. A long moment passed. "Are you hungry, your
highness?" he asked sweetly.

"Ye, as a matter of fact." They walked towards the kitchen where Hayden
proved that he was the better cook of the two of them. They shared
memories over scratch-made pizza.

"So...how old were you when you were taken to the Jedi Temple?" he
asked.

"About 9 or so. It was a very lonely life." He looked at Nickolas. He
seemed so...warm, inviting. Like coming home after a journey. His smile
was always accompanied by a light dust of blush. "I always thought it
was rather cold in the Jedi Temple. Not like here, it's very warm. Very
familiar."

"Yes but at times, my life is cold and lonely as well." Nick replied.
His eyes saddened. "All of my life, I've been trained to be a strong
political figure. For when my sister is Queen, I am Senator for Shmitau
and it is a rather though job or so my uncle says."

"We are alike in different worlds." Hayden pointed out. He used his
power to take Nick's glass of water. He grinned and sipped the water
before returning it to Nick's side of the table. Nick chuckled. "Well,
it's getting rather late. We should go to bed."

Nick nodded, though he didn't budge. Hayden stood up and helped Nick
stand. They were close enough to feel each other breathing. Hayden
inclined his head and placed a gentle kiss on Nick's lips. He pulled
away. They walked towards Nick's room in uncomfortable silence. "Good
night, Nick."

"Good night, Hayden." he replied before going into his room with a
smile.

Brooks was already asleep so it was Emily that helped him prepare for
bed. "How was the meeting, your highness?" she asked, her voice hoping
for luscious details.

"It was absolutely charming. Just...so unreal." Nick replied as he
settled for a night's sleep with dreams of a certain Jedi.


In the other room, a Jedi meditated, trying to get thoughts of Nick's
wonderful blush-smile out of his head.
