Subject: Ok. 21

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 -

writers be read. Donate if you can!

Seto.


I can't breathe. Again. It feels like it did when I was tied to a chair. I
felt all happiness leave my world. I felt hopeless. Like I could never be
happy again. I sensed Zayk everywhere I looked. I could feel his evil gaze,
watching me. Studying me. It was almost as if he was afraid to move closer
and let himself be seen, almost like he was trying to warn me, in an
sinister sort of way. Then I heard him speak.

"Tell my brother, 'Happy Birthday'. He probably hasn't mentioned it." Am I
hearing right? Is Zayk actually being some kind of nice? Well, as nice as
an evil prick could be... Then I woke up with a start, sweating like
mad. Ax wakes up as soon as I do.

"What's wrong babe?" He asks, concern dripping from his face. I do my best
to grin. It was easier than I thought, after I look into his eyes.

"Happy Birthday baby!" I say, revelling in the look of shock on his face.

"It's not my... Wait, yes it is! How did you know?"

"I had a visit from a little birdie last night. A sadistic, evil little
birdy. He wanted to wish you Happy Birthday. I'm sure he would have
delivered the message in person, but he honestly seemed quite terrified of
me. " I replied. His face was unreadable. He almost looked like he wasn't
breathing.

"What else did he say? Did he threaten to show up? What am I saying, you
said we won't see him til Kungsbacka. But what if he..." He rambles.

"Babe, it's ok. As I said, he was too frightened to even show himself. He
only said to wish you Happy Birthday. Then I woke up and saw you. If he
wants to attack, he's gonna have to bring an army. Because I'd raze hell
itself to protect you." I say, to comfort him. He seemed to relax, then
remembered something. I knew exactly what he was going to say.

"Well, in that case... Where's my dragon?" He says, trying to mix puppy dog
eyes with a shit-eating grin. It was adorable.

"I'll get it, let's just wait for Dyl to get back. Don't want him to freak
out when he sees a dragon in our dining room. Besides, I wanna know how it
went with Ulrik."

"Naaawwww!! Do we have to?" He whines, stamping up and down. The levels of
cute this boy can reach are mind boggling. My knees go weak, and as if to
stop me before I caved into his beautiful blue eyes, the door opens and Dyl
walks in. His hair was still messed up and he had a grin that looked like
it had been surgically implanted.

"Hi guys! Sup?" He asks nonchalantly, looking between Ax and I. "Did I
interrupt anything?"

"Nope! We were waiting for you!" Ax says, as if it was his idea. "It's my
birthday, and Toby's about to go get my present!" He says, bouncing up and
down. I just roll my eyes and go to the window. I open it and put my hands
out towards the sky. A small cloud rocketed into my hands. I turned around
with the cloud between each hand, close my eyes and throw it. It begins to
spin, forming a ball in the middle of the room. Then, a blinding light came
from the centre of the cloud, causing us all to look away. When the light
was gone, we looked back and saw a white dragon, with a black stripe down
the middle. He was looking at Ax, and ran up into his arms. I look over at
Dyl and he's just sitting down on the bed, looking at where there once was
a cloud.

"What the fuck was that?" He asks, probably waking the whole hotel. "You
could have warned me before you created a fucking dragon right in front of
me." He adds, with a grin that says 'It's ok, I just wasn't expecting to
see a dragon today.'

"My bad. thought you'd be used to surprises by now." i say apologetically,
then I look over to Ax and ask him what he asked me when I created
Smerg. "So, what are you going to name him?"

"Yeah, what's his name?" Dyl adds, not as shell-shocked as he was 20
seconds ago. "It's gotta be good! It's the first dragon in, like, forever!"

"Ummm, second actually..." I correct him. "I kinda created one
yesterday. Apparently I'm a 'dragon master' or something. Anyways, Ax? Any
thoughts?"

"Well, I'm thinking something like... Seto." When he says the name, his
dragon yips a little and blows a smoke ring. "Yep. That's it! Seto."

"If I'm not mistaken, I think you've got a baby dragon on your hands." I
warn. "He's gonna be a lot of work."

"I know babe. That's why they don't give dragons to regular people. Only a
witch can look after them properly. And make them 'invisible' to everyone,
if need be." Ax says, with a finality that said the conversation was
over. I just giggle, and watch him playing with Seto. Dyl moves over to him
slowly, putting his hand out. He yelps a bit when Seto runs up and crash
tackles him, licking him like a dog. I guess it makes sense why Seto is
sort of puppy-like. I was thinking of Ax when I created him, and Ax reminds
me of a puppy every day. Then I remembered Dyl's date.

"So, Dyl, how was Ulrik?" I ask. The colour of his face tells me all I need
to know.

"Toby, thank you for introducing me to him! It was probably the best night
of my life! He took me to a restaurant and then back to his house, and he
sang for me and we went to his room and...."

"Ooook, details Dyl. Too many of them." I say, laughing. He just blushes a
deeper red than before. Ax and I are falling over eachother in hysterics,
while he stands there, trying not to smile.

"I could tell you what we did this morning, if you like. Or how many
times..." He says, a bit surprised with himself. "Or in how many different
rooms..." We were all laughing, quite literally rolling on the floor, when
the door slammed open. We stood up, shocked, and see Zayk walking through
the door.

"Well, well. Are we having a party? Why wasn't I invited? You always leave
me out! And who's this? The stripper?!" He asks, pointing to Dyl.

"This is Dylin. he will probably maul you. You don't get invited because
you are always trying to kill us! Doesn't that make sense to you? You can
imagine how that might affect our opinion of you..."

"I DID NOT ASK YOU TO TALK, BACKSTREET BOY!! LEARN YOUR PLACE!!" Zayk
screams, shaking the walls with an unnaturally booming voice. I ducked a
fire ball, and threw one back. They hit opposite walls, exploding on
impact. We glare at eachother, our combined gaze almost explosive. Ax was
standing over the other side of the room, looking like he was
telepathically catching Dyl up with what was going on, and probably telling
Seto to go for the jugular. My Mexican stand-off with Zayk was trying my
patience, so I raise one hand and call Smerg. A cloud comes in through the
window and turned into my dragon. It faces Zayk and roars, visibly shaking
Zayk.

"What the fuck? How did you do that? Dragons haven't been around since the
last dragon master died. That could only mean that..."

"Yep. My name is Tobias Bastian Drake. I only see dragons in the clouds,
and it seems I can bring them to life. So. What were you saying? About my
place?" The look in his eyes could have melted stone, but the fear in them
outwieghed the rage. I never broke eye contact with him, until he
dematerialized in front of us. We were silent for a few moments. Then Dyl
broke it by saying,

"You know, I thought you were actually joking when you said you had to deal
with an evil twin! I really should stop being so surprised." Ax and I
laugh, and Ax says,

"Well, we still get surprised. What do you think was going through my head
when a dragon started flying towards my fiancé yesterday? I wasn't
thinking 'Oh, that's just a dragon. I see noting wrong with this picture.'
I thought I was going to be eaten!"

We chatted and laughed for a few hours until I got a craving for a
smoke. And some chocolate or something. We ordered room service, and
settled down with a cigarette each, joking and testing eachother's
powers. Well, Ax and I were showing off, Dyl was watching in awe and
giggling. then Seto came up to us, whimpering. obviously, he was hungry. I
conjured a raw steak for him, and he yipped excitedly. Dyl started
giggling,

"He is so much like you, Ax!" Dyl says. i wince when I hear him use my
nickname for Axyl, but deal with it. he's like a brother now, he can call
my future husband that. I guess...

I managed to find some pot stashed in my bag. Not sure if it was there the
whole time, or if it just appeared because I willed it to. But it was a
welcome discovery. Our food arrived, and we sat back and enjoyed what was
turning out to be one hell of a vacation. Let's hope 'hell' doesn't play
too much of a part in it.

Thanks for reading this story, guys! The chapters will take a little more
time to put up, I overestimated my ability to churn them out quickly. I
promise not to stop writing them though, unless anyone has any better
ideas... Thanks for your patience, and again, thanks for reading!
