Drawn In - Epilogue
===================
by Akashi


[..........]

The following months we literally had the time of our lives. Not just Danny
and me, but Alex and Chip also. We hung out a lot together. Alex and Danny
introduced us to their parents as they said they would. Both their parents
had a "whatever" attitude, but once they Danny's dad "caught" me alone he
told me: "I can't believe my son ended up with someone like you..." That
startled me for a moment, but he went on: "I didn't think he'd deserve such
a person. He's always so annoying and jealous."

"Yeah... that makes him even cuter." I told him with a coy smile.

Days, weeks, even months passed. We did a lot of things together (No more
"groupies" though. Seems that Alex wanted to focus only on Chip and Danny
wanted me to focus only on him...). One of the many things I liked doing
together was celebrating birthdays together. Danny was born on the 1st of
July and Alex on the 24th of June, which made him 6 days older than
Danny. They knew each other since they were babies (sometimes it might seem
like they are still babies, but certain things show that they are truly
young adults), they pretty much acted like brothers and so did I with Chip.

On the 10th of June we were all invited to one of my older cousin's
wedding. I have a LOT of cousins, and from all of them he was my favorite
one. The wedding turned out to be a fun event, not boring as I thought it
would be. I hate weddings.  And it's not because I can't get married to
Danny, but because I think they're useless. I don't favor tradition, or
culture. If you truly love someone you don't need a piece of paper to prove
it. And all the ceremony was just a waste of money.

Anyway, the wedding went something like this: Bride and groom in front of
the altar. Preacher asks for objections and just as he wanted to go on, the
groom said he was in love with the bride's brother and that he couldn't
marry her, because it'd be unfair. But... now comes the good
part... instead of the bride freaking out, which her parents were
doing... she just stood there, without giving a damn. Why? Well... we soon
found out. The groom's older brother, also best man of honor, stepped up
and confessed his love to the bride, asking her to marry HIM, not right
away of course. She accepted with joy, saying she loved him also and they
ran off, but before exiting the church she threw the bouqout of bridal
flowers, and Danny caught it by accident. I started laughing my ass off
along with Chip and Alex.

We were all standing in the back of the church. We were helping people to
their seets and after we were done we decided to stand instead of sitting
down (since we planned on sneaking away to a club or somewhere, if it got
too boring). Anyway, we saw the bride's brother sneak out of the
church. The groom was stretching his neck to look for him, but didn't see
him. So I ran to my cous and told him that the one he was looking for just
exited the church. Only they know what was going on between them.

AND WHAT THE HECK? Is my gay-dar broken? Why didn't I notice my cous was
gay? Maybe 'cause we pretty much grew up together, so it never occurred to
me to think about his sexual preferences. My cous ran after the bride's
brother and only later did I find out about the whole thing, which was a
complicated story, but it ended well. They ended up living together and
being happy. I'm starting to think life is good for everyone and that not
only fairy-tales have happy endings, but real life too.

After we all went back to the hotel we were staying in, since the "wedding"
took place in a different city, we all went to our rooms. I was staying
with Danny and Chip with Alex. My parents couldn't make it since they had
to work, so did my sis.  They'll be jealous when they find out what they
missed. I started laughing at that thought. Danny started laughing too at
the recent events, but then suddenly got serious and pulled out the bridal
bouqout from behind him and handed it to me with a proud grin. I was
overwhelmed, it was better than a wedding. I jumped him and he fell on the
bed. We made love all night long. In the morning right after sunrise, I ran
out to buy something, without Danny. When I got back he was awake, asking
me where I've been and telling me he missed me, kissing me all over my
face. I took his hand and slid an elastic, silver bracelet over his wrist
with my (real) name on it.

In August all four of us went to a lake near by. We had loads of fun, since
it was a very quiet lake, surrounded by forests and mountains. We could
have screamed from the top of our lungs (which we did), but still no one
would hear us. I felt the freedom capture me, that's why I always look
forward to going to that lake. I used to go with my parents and sis since I
was 3 years-old, but this year was the best I ever had, being with my loved
one and my new brother and his loved one, who became one of my very good
friends. It is said that if you have friends at the end of your time, then
you truly lived a happy life.  I know this is true, even though I'm not on
my dieing bed.

Fall came. My second favorite season. Chip finished his school-finishing
exams and he aced them. He got in the same college I was in, and he wanted
to be in.  He made me so proud I almost hugged him to death. We threw an
all night long party. We had lots of friends over. It came in shock, or at
least surprise, to some of them when they saw me or Chip kiss our
partners. The rest of our friends were like: "Oh what... you didn't know?"
Which just cracked me up.

I decided to move out, so I bought a 2 bed roomed apartment and dragged
Chip with me. Danny and Alex were thrilled that they could come by any time
and be with us in private. As a matter of fact, they got so cozy with the
idea, they practically moved in. Well... they were more than welcome
anyway, but once they moved in permanently, there were often "awkward"
encounters, like seeing each other going at our partner. For example, one
time I was out with Danny and when we came back Alex was all over Chip on
the couch. Or when Alex was out with some friends, and Chip just came back
from shopping, he saw Danny and me all over the kitchen table.  I guess, we
did catch the taste of doing it on the table in the morning.

All Chip said was: "Not on the table, guys! We eat there!".

"That's what we're doing. Eating cum." Danny replied with a nonchalant
attitude, smirking at Chip.

Chip got an upset look and went to his room, so we continued our
"breakfast".  After that, before every meal, Chip would wipe off the table
twice. We made him paranoid, even though we'd always clean up after doing
something on the table.

Danny and Alex started losing interest in their band. They said it didn't
express them anymore, but they kept playing, saying that practice is
good. Both Alex and Danny got more serious about college. They both passed
all their exams, in autumn on second try, since the first time they didn't
study at all. To my surprise, Alex was in law-school. He wanted to become a
lawyer. He got so pumped up he said he'd be a "gay rights advocate" and
that he would change the world, or at least the country. Chip and I both
chuckled, hearing that, but he snapped at us: "What!?!  I'm serious! You'll
see!"

"That's not why I'm laughing... but your enthusiasm... you... who wanted to
hide forever behind some girl. Lucky, you started using your brains!" I
said.

"Yes. I'm really lucky." Alex said hugging Chip with a huge smile.

I really love the fall. All the "fire"-colors surrounding me made me feel
autumn's warmth. Until one cold night.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chip:

We all had so much fun all summer long. Fall would have turned out a dream
as well if only we didn't have to wake up to a nightmare. Alex called Aka
and me to tell us the club they were supposed to play in burned down. As
all this nightmare came through the speaker I could see Aka's throat
clogging up. He was hyperventilating.

"Danny...?" Aka managed to ask one word, putting his hand to his mouth.

"Danny was inside, but I don't know... I just don't know! There's too much
of a commotion... and smoke..." Alex said with a shaky voice.

"Well be right there." Aka said, catching his strength and holding back his
fears, replacing them with hopes. I could see it in his eyes. He hung up on
Alex and almost ran out the door with me behind him. Aka got a motorcycle
not long ago.  Before buying the apartment. He said he dislikes cars, but
loves bikes. He gave me a helmet, put on one and as soon as we both got on
the bike, he drove off like crazy. I wonder how he got his license?

When we got to the burned-down club, Alex was sitting on the side of the
road.  Once we got to him all he kept repeating: "...can't find
Danny...". I sat down near him and embraced him, Aka ran off looking
around.

Later when we finally went home, I found out Aka questioned some policemen
and firemen, but they didn't find Danny. Aka was very weird that night. He
was like a stone. Numb and cold, although he handled everything calmly at
the club. He was beginning to scare me.

The following two days passed like eternity in purgatory. We finally found
out that about 2 people went missing that night. Danny and club-owner, who
the police suspected to have faked his death, since no bodies were found,
but no one was sure since the place burned down real bad.

Aka was silent the following weeks. All he did was eat and work on the
computer.  Before Danny's disappearance Aka would work almost every night
on the PC, but bow he works almost non-stop. Both Alex and me tried to
bring Aka back to the living.

"We all miss Danny, but we must move on sooner or later. Better sooner than
later.  I'm sure that Danny would want you to be happy. You should go out
with us." I tried convincing Aka, but he replied as he always did: "No... I
have work."

I only hoped that he would snap out of it soon or he'd turn into a zombie,
when one day, nearing September's end, I found a note from Aka:

"I'm going on an indefinite trip. Don't wait for me. Don't worry about the
bills, they are all settled. Good luck on your first day of college. Sorry
I can't be there to see you, Chip. And Alex... take care of Chip and all
the best wishes to you becoming a lawyer. Be happy.  -Farkas."

That's the first time he used his own real name... Danny used to call him
that all the time. I hope he knows what he's doing... but both Alex and me
knew he would probably go somewhere and end his own life. We couldn't stop
him, partly because we didn't know where he went off to, and partly because
those where his wishes.

"Life without Danny is no life at all." He once told me on the balcony, as
he was spaced out watching the sunset. He seemed like he didn't notice
anything happening in the real world, but I didn't even make a sound and he
knew I was behind him.

"Don't say that. I'm sure you'll find happiness later." I said hugging him.

"The sunset will always remind me of Danny...." He said with a cold
expression.  "Chip... I miss him! I miss him terribly!" He yelled bursting
into tears, clinging onto me. "I want to hear him say my name again... I
thought I could do without him for a while... but I can't!" I don't know
what he really meant by that, but I just held him, stroking his hair, until
the sun went down. I felt a bit guilty, because I thought he looked good
crying. It's just that I never saw him cry before and he had such a
beautiful face, so vulnerable and... hurt.

"Gazing at the sunset again?" Alex asked me walking over to my side.

"Yeah.... it reminds me of Aka..." I said with a coy smile.

"Hmm... well he was 'scarlet'..." Alex said watching the sunset with me,
when we heard a knock on the door. We didn't move, but the knocking
persisted.

"CIA! Anyone home?"

"Riiight..." I said walking slowly towards the door. I looked through the
visor and saw two middle aged men, dressed in suits. Are they for real?
There is no CIA in Romania. Oh that's right... it's Halloween... but... not
many people do this in Romania. I opened up.

"Yes? How may I help you?" I asked with a monotone voice, completely
lacking interest.

"Are you Farkas Marton?" The taller guy asked. "I am agent Dologhny and
this is my partner, agent Hale. We are with the CIA."

"Partner? Heheheh..." Alex laughed from over my shoulder.

"Aren't you guys too old to trick or treat?" I asked rubbing the back of my
head.

"We aren't joking." Agent Hale said, walking inside, without permission and
looking around, then fixing his eyes on Alex. "We came all the way from the
states, conducting our investigation." He said looking Alex up and
down. "Are you Farkas Marton?"

Although October was ending, it was lukewarm outside, so Alex and I wasn't
wearing much, only shorts, since it was hot inside (especially since we
came in from the balcony... which I was using to cool off... since we just
made love).

"Who? Aka?" Alex said crashing on the sofa. "Please sit." He acted all
'adulty'.

The taller gentleman sat down but the other one kept looking around, once
finished looking at Alex, he started analyzing me, then went looking around
the apartment.

"That name has been linked to Mr. Marton as well. You see... he was working
on some AI projects and he used some top secret 'references', which we want
to know how he got a hold of. We've been tracking Wolf for quite a while
now, but we got a hold of his real identity from an anonymous contact."
Agent Dologhny explained.

"Wolf?" I asked sitting down near Alex, who had his arms spread along the
sofa, so he technically had his arm around me. Agent Dologhny sat across
the coffee table, on the couch.

"That was his handle name."

"Just because he's good with computers that doesn't make him a hacker."
Alex started speaking like an attorney, I chuckled. "And what proof do you
have that he actually stole information from you or where ever? Maybe he
invented them himself."

"We had many talented people work on that project and you're telling me he
could INVENT something like that all by himself in a couple of months???"
Dologhny persisted, while his 'partner' finished checking out the kitchen,
bathroom, Aka's x-bedroom and wanted to go in Alex's and my bedroom.

"Don't go in there." I told agent Hale, but he just raised an eyebrow at
me.

"We have all the certification we need." Agent Dologhny said, pulling out a
file folder. "I can show you."

"No. That's fine. We don't have anything to hide, but it might not be
pleasant for your 'partner' to go in there." I said, accentuating the word
'partner'. Both agents looked funny at me, then they looked at each
other. Agent Hale proceeded with going in our bedroom.

The reason why I didn't want him going in there, was because after Alex
made love to me, we didn't clean up, we left everything as it was. Although
Alex started using lubed condoms, it was still messy, since I didn't use
anything. Plus, you could smell the heat left over from out sweaty
bodies... and of course the cum.

Agent Hale came out of the room with a frowning look on his face. "There's
no one else in the apartment."

"So then... who's who? Which one of you is Farkas?" Agent Dologhny looked
at us with suspicion.

"Neither of us." I sighed. "I am Chip T... Marton... I recently became
Aka's...  Farkas's brother." I said pronouncing Farkas correctly (also
correcting agent Dologhny's pronunciation), since we got used to calling
Aka that, once Danny repeated it over and over again. But after his
disappearance Aka told us to stop calling him Farkas, because it hurt too
much, so we went back to calling him Aka. "He adopted me.... and this is
Alex Lazar, my lover." It felt good saying that aloud once again, but this
time it felt better, since it seemed to make both agents a bit
nervous. Alex leaned over to me and kissed my cheek, showing me a proud
smirk and showing the agents that it was true. Agent Hale frowned again,
probably realizing what happened in the room he was just in.

"And how old are you guys?" Agent Dologhny said with a worried look on his
face.

"We're both adults, if that's what you're wondering. I'm 18 and he's
21. And how old are you? Since we're all getting to know each other
better." I said with a sarcastic tone.

"We just want to know where Farkas Marton is." Agent Hale said walking over
to us.

"He's dead." Alex said and I sighed.

"What?! Stop kidding around with us, you brats!" Agent Dologhny snapped at
us.  "We're not in the Halloween spirit!" He yelled at us, but I just
looked through him, spacing out. I really missed my brother. Alex noticed
and hugged me.

"If you're the CIA how come you don't know? We still miss Aka and
Danny. You are not making it easier for us. If that's all, you can leave."
Alex said caressing my hair.

"Danny?" Agent Hale asked, putting his hand on agent Dologhny's shoulder,
pushing him back down to his seat, as if he were telling him to calm down.

"Danny was Aka's lover. When he died Aka zoned out. All he did was eat and
work on the computer. Near September's end we found a note, left by him. He
then disappeared. He couldn't stand living without Danny, so he probably
killed himself." Alex explained, still holding me.

"And how did Danny die?" Agent Hale asked us and Alex's grip became
stronger.

"He had a show in a run-down-club, which burned down. No bodies were
found." I said, putting my arms around Alex, caressing his naked back.

"Could you guys please stop that?" Agent Dologhny frowned at us.

"They are in grief. Give them a break. If you can not handle it, wait for
me outside." Agent Hale said with a sympathetic tone.... I suspected he was
gay since the moment he entered the apartment, but now it's more and more
obvious.  "You wouldn't object if it was a guy and a girl."

"We're back at that again?" Agent Dologhny said rubbing his forehead. "I
told you, I don't care if anyone is gay. I just don't want to see all the
touching. Can we talk about this another time? Or better yet never?"

Seems like the agents have some unresolved issues. That made both Alex and
me chuckle. We broke up the hug, but still held hands.

"Back to what we came here for." Agent Dologhny said clearing his
throat. "I see we have a problem. Wolf now disappeared, supposedly dead,
but I highly doubt it.  With the small fortune he made off that AI project,
he could buy a small island and 'disapear' there."

"That's absurd! Aka wouldn't leave me no matter how much money he had! And
he did nothing wrong! I saw him develop the AI. He didn't steal
anything. He worked on it with many other people, making it open-source." I
snapped at him.

"You saw him develop it?" Agent Hale asked with a devious look in his eyes.

"Ah... Chip... if I were you I wouldn't tell them too much." Alex warned
me.

"Well, I guess our work is done here." Agent Hale said. "Sorry to take from
your time."

"What? We're done?!" Agent Dologhny asked, jumping up.

"Yes. We can rapport that there is at least one witness to the fact that
Wolf developed the AI without any stolen resources. Sorry for disturbing
and...  condolences." Agent Hale said in a soft voice, walking his partner,
almost shoving him towards the door.

"Aka did seem to have a lot of money." Alex said once the agents left.

"Yeah... that must have been from the AI, he pot a lot of work in it. Did
you ever wonder why he didn't kill himself earlier? He obviously didn't
need any time to think."

"Maybe 'cause he needed to finish the AI in order to get the money and
'settle' the bills, so you would never have to worry about them?"

"Yes, but... how come Danny died like in Aka's nightmare? And then Aka died
too?  No bodies found? What if Aka set this whole thing up? To make sure he
gets rid of any agents that might want to bring him down. What if both Aka
and Danny are on some small island right now?"

"Do you really think Aka could tear away from his computer?"

"I think he'd give up anything to be free somewhere with Danny. I know I
would...  to be with you." I said straddling Alex and kissing him softly.

"Mmmnnn... Well, wherever they are you can be sure that it's heaven." Alex
said with a soft smile, finally putting both our hearts at rest.

[..........]

[6 years later]

I do not believe in happy endings, because there are no endings. Only happy
lives.  Like the one I'm having with Alex. I finished college and started
my own software company, also using Aka's AI, which is now widely available
for the entire world.  It was first considered a dangerous AI, since it had
'imagination', but that paranoia faded with time, once people understood
it. Alex became a successful lawyer and he did change the country. Now
people don't have to hide any of their preferences any more. The world is
growing in the right directions. Stronger and smarter. Once people
understand they don't fear anymore.
