Subject: Ok. 25.

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 -

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.
