Aquata Cove
Chapter 54: Resonance


Adam opens the door to his cabin, and entered along with Gregory. He closes
the door, and then turn to plant his hand onto the door, and moved down to
push his mouth against the other. Greg closes his eyes as his pants quickly
feel tighter as Adam softly lapped and nibbled on his lips.

Adam slides a hand underneath Greg's shirt, and pulled it up. God, it's
been a long time since Adam had it out with a pudgy guy -- not since his
last exboyfriend.

Chubby guys always seem to have a very cuddly appeal. They give the best
hugs, their wide frames gives so much room to give proper squeezes and
warmth, and just the heft of gravity just sends out an earthy feel to
them. Greg in particular just seems to have that innocent charm that makes
him so adorable.

The two of them climbed into bed, just after Adam pulls of Greg's shirt,
and wrapped one arm around him, and started grabbing one of his pouchy
chest. Greg moans more as Adam grabs and rubs his fluffy form, cuddling on
top of him, and gently gnawing on Greg's cheek.


~~~


Merrick is escorted inside of Tom's cabin. He walks in, and turns around
just as Tom undoes his own pants and lets them drop to his ankles. The
blonde stand on his tippy does to kiss the much taller, muscular man. Tom
grunts and moans from the sudden kiss, not even getting a chance to fully
strip first.

After a rather rough start, Tom unbuttons his shirt, and shows Merrick his
broad, juicy pecs, with a golden ring pierced on his thick nipple -- a
little trinket Merrick must have missed in the lockerroom.

Men like this guy, tall and muscular, they just seem to have this
overwhelming power on their stature alone. Without having to give much
notice, they give off this sense of command to make cute little twinks like
Merrick just to drop to their knees and suck them off right there.

Tom shrugged his shirt off and let Merrick attach his mouth to his right
silver ring. Tom bites his lip as Merrick's teeth and tongue press and pull
on that hot piece of metal on the sensitive nub, before glancing to the
side, and moving to tend to the other nipple. Tom put his arms around
Merrick as he grinds his tighty-whites against him.



~~~


Greg blushes and moans as Adam had him laid down on his bed, wearing
nothing but his worn boxerbreifs. Adam huffs and growles as he kisses and
licks Greg's plump chest, nuzzling the small patch of hair in the middle,
while pushing his hands onto the soft under area on the side. Adam's cock
throbs in his skibbies as he licks and kisses Greg's big, round tummy.

"Hhhhh" Adam pushes his face against Greg's belly, and rubs that broad,
squishy girth, making Greg whimper and squirm as that tongue licked and
trailed on his sensitive naval, not to mention how touchy his midsection
is, making a wet splotch in his red underpants. Adam digs his arms under
Greg to hug and nuzzle that large gut, before kissing his way down.

He bites his lip as Adam rubs and squeezes his very unimpressive tent. Adam
was smashed as heck when he sucked off this guy, so he can't remember how
big he is. Greg closes his eyes shut, prepared for the laughter no doubt to
come after Adam sees his dick.


~~~


Tom reaches down, and squeeze's Merrick's right buttcheek as the two of
them stood in the shower, their legs entwined as they made out. The larger
man growls and huffs as Merrick yanks and manhandles one of his nipple
rings, his dick throbbing in his briefs like a trapped snake as they
grabbed each other, sliding their fingers along their uncannily smooth
flesh.

"Ghhhh... You're a hot little fucker, aren't you?" Tom growls as Merrick
chokes his fat dick in his underwear, saturated from the water. Merrick
gnaws on his lower lip as they rose more steam just from the hot action in
the shower. Merrick's cock pushes against Tom's rod-shaped bulge as they
rubbed their hot lips with each other like a couple of foggy animals.

Merrick moves down onto his knees and roughly pushed his mouth on the
soaked fabic of the Hanes underwear. He gropes the rounded pouch below
while pressing his lips harshly onto the hard meat within.


~~~


Adam yanks Greg's undies off to see the chubby's short member, estimating
at least 3 or so inches. Greg's face felt hot, right before he felt a hot
warmth take his penis. "O-Oohh~!" He moans as Adam sucks on his pecker,
pulling his foreskin back, and licking around the head. His large belly
tenses and bobs as Adam teased his dick with his tongue.

Greg moans with pleasure as Adam slurps his small wang with hunger, before
popping the little soldier out of his mouth, and kissing its base before
licking Greg's sweaty balls, and started making out with his sac.

The chubby's toes curled as Adam worked on his most intimate areas, not
believe just how into it he really is! Most guys become uninterested when
they see his small endowment, but this guy is just digging into him. He
moans pitifully, but holding in giggling as Adam licked and kisses the
thighs around his genitals. That mouth is both tickling and massaging his
nether regions as Adam playfully smacks his lips around.


~~~


Merrick rubs Tom's thick, hard thighs as he turns in the shower. He peels
his undies back, and moons Merrick with his manly black ass. The merman
then pressed his face right between those cheeks, his own dick standing
right up as he licks from the base of Tom's dark balls, along his hot
crack, over his pucker, and to the top of the crevice.

"Aw yeah~" Tom moaned as he felt Merrick's hands grab both cheeks, and
pulled them part to dig into his ass, "Yeah, eat that hole." Tom growled as
he pushed his rear back against Merrick's face.

Tom puts his hand onto the tile wall as Merrick's tongue pushed and rubbed
against his taint. He pulled his huge cock, and began to pump it, having
the water rush down his godly muscles and squeezing his magnificent
monster. Merrick closes his eyes as he massaged the tight entrance with his
lips and licked it. His head began to feel light and unfocused as his hands
dug and grabbed both mounds while licking that hot star.


~~~


"Ohhh, oh, ohhh~!" Greg moaned as his head tossed side to side as Adam
slurped and licked Greg's cute penis, swipping up the precum from his uncut
manhood and twirling his tongue against the slit.

"I'm gonna cum, I'm gonna cum..." Greg whines as he grabs the sheets as his
big belly tightens and bounces from the intense breathing. Nonetheless,
Adam put his mouth over Greg's small dick, and engulfed it quite
easily. Greg, thrashed and moaned out as Adam pushed his thighs out,
massaging and grabbing his wide meaty legs as he sucked him.

"Ohhnnn! Nnnhh! Ohh! NNN!" Greg clenches his eyes shut and tenses as his
Napoleon cannon shot out a hot, sticky load. Adam's cheeks puffed a little
as his mouth filled with Greg's spunk.


~~~


"Fuck... Oh fuck yeah!" Tom spread his legs out to have Merrick dig in
further into his ass. Slathering his balls up with body was, the
bodybuilder masturbates with his cock on one hand, and his nuts on the
other as Merrick ate him out.

"Fuck, just like that!" He moans as Merrick rubbed his tongue in tracing
shapes. His hand jack hammered on his fat rod as Merrick roughly massaged
and rubbed his full, perfect butt. Merrick moaned as he focused on licking
and tongue-fucking this tall dark male's rearend as he pleasures himself,
with every lick of his asshole easily escalating him.

"Fuck! Ohhh fuck yes, don't stop, don't stop~!" Tom moaned out as he worked
his dick over, before choking his heavy manhood to squirt a huge, long
white rope out, "GAHHH!" He howls out as his dick painted the wet tiles of
the shower.


~~~


Greg pants and moans in bliss as Adam crawls next to him. He pushes himself
to the side, and rubs Adam's side as he cuddles and kisses him. Though
spent, he still paws on and snuggles against Adam affectionately.

"Mmm..." Adam hums as the cute pudgy guy nuzzle and kisses his chest,
rubbing his nipples tenderly as he feels along Adam's hip, "No, wait, hang
on." Adam says, making Greg stop with a confused look, "I can't do this."

"Huh?" Adam got up, and moved to the side of the bed, holding himself as he
leaned forward, "Why not? What's the matter?" His shoulders slumped, "It's
me, isn't it?"


~~~


Merrick softly kisses and nibbles on Tom's muscular bottom, sleepily
gnawing on his rump as his eyes became extremely heavy. He can hear Tom's
voice, but every noise around him is becoming distorted.

"No..." He mumbles, "No, ssstop..." Merrick moaned as he started to
tremble, feeling Tom turn around, "No... I don't wanna do this
anymore... Please don't make me..." His hand fumbles for Tom's leg, before
he felt gravity shift, and everything goes black.

"Hey! Hey, kid, you ok?? Wake up! Oh my God, what's wrong??" Tom kneels
down, feeling Merrick's neck and chest as he lays there, motionless.


~~~


"No, it's not you," Adam said, "Don't get me wrong, I would love to pound
that hot little butt of yours and make you squeal like a little sex pig."
He said with a playful smile. Greg groaned a little, that statement turning
him on a little.

"Just... Hahhh..." Adam put his hands to his face, pressing his palms
together, and closing his eyes, "I have a boyfriend."

"I know, but..." Greg blushed a little, "I figured you guys had an open
relationship or something... He's a slender blonde guy, right?"

"Yeah, he's the one." Adam said, "But no, we don't have an open
relationship... We're fighting right now, and..."

"... So wait." Greg frown a little, "You're just using me to get back at
him?"

"I wouldn't call it that... More like..." Adam turned back around on the
bed, "More like... Just letting off some steam." He sighs as he got up,
"Look, I'm sorry, I'm a total ass, you don't have to stay if you don't-"

"N-No, it's ok!" Greg said. Adam looks at him and huffs as he covers his
eyes.

"I'm sorry, I just... I been feeling so lonely. We aren't speaking to each
other, and... I keep having nightmares, and he's not around to help
me... And I just really..."

Greg scooted to the side of the bed, where Adam can see, before he
turned. Adam sniffled a little, and then climbs into bed with him, and they
both go under the covers. Adam moves in and spoons against Greg, wrapping
his arms around him, and holding that adorable pudgy teddy bear.


~~~


"Nnnhh..." Merrick moans as he slowly wakes up. His head feels so cloudy
and heavy, like he's been sleeping for months. His whole body feels like he
weighs a ton. There's something moist and cold on his head as his
surroundings slowly stopped spinning.

"Thank God, you ok, buddy?" Came a familiar voice. Merrick peers, and sees
Tom wearing a T-shirt and his briefs, right next to him in the bed.

"Nnnnhhhhgggg..." Merrick groggily got up, shaking his head, "What
happened..."

"You got my off in the shower, and when I turned around to get you off, you
passed out. You scared the shit outta me man, I thought you OD'd or
something!"

"Nnnhh, no..." Merrick groaned, "I uh... I have a delicate constitution,"
He lied, "I suffer from frequent dehydration, it's happened before."

"Yeah, I called a medic in here not long ago, that's what he said it was."
Tom picked up a bottle of water, and offered it to Merrick, who then
accepted it.

"I'm an idiot," Merrick commented before he gulped down the icy cold water.

"What do you mean?"

"I figured... He was going with this one other guy, so I thought I may as
well go with you..." He looked up at Tom, "I have a boyfriend, and... I'm
really mad at him."

"Ah shit, are you serious??"

"We had a bad fight!" Merrick turned on the bed, "I don't expect you to
understand... It's not like I'm trying to show him up or anything... Just
forget it, I'm leaving as soon as my head stops throbbing."


~~~


"Few days ago, before we left the island," Adam said, "You know I got
really drunk, right?"

"Mhm," Greg nodded as he feels Adam snuggling behind him. He blushes as
this very attractive man lays close to him.

"And, we went to this spot I know... We cuddled for a while, and then I
said something so fucking stupid..."

"What happened?"

"I uh... I said that our relationship was too flawless. I
just... Sometimes, when I'm watching Queer As Folk, or on Eating Out 3 and
4, where the two man characters broke up, and then got back
together... They reconcile, and they get back together cause they're meant
for each other and stuff, you know?"

"And he broke up with you?" Greg asked.

"No..." Adam shook his head with half his face pressing on the pillow, "But
now he won't forgive me..."


~~~


"My boyfriend..." Merrick began. Tom sits on the bed as Merrick stays
curled up, "He said some terrible things that he didn't mean a while
ago... Thinking back on it, I really shouldn't be as bitter about it as I
am now..."

"What did he say that was so horrible?"

"It's complicated." Merrick sat up, "Again, I don't expect you to
understand me."

"Hey, hey! Hold up," Tom grabbed his shoulder, "Take it easy, you just woke
up."

"I'm fine, alright??" Merrick said, "You don't need to comfort me."

"Look, can we skip the tough guy act, please?" Tom said, "I got enough of
that from my exgirlfriend, alright?" He said. Merrick scoffed a little.

"You're bi, then?"

"More like Pansexual." He replied. Merrick rolled his eyes -- another
complicated label to make things difficult for the person, why do humans
feel the need to be so over-elaborate?


~~~


"It's... Kinda complicated with me and him. I don't know how to put it, but
he and I are kinda like soulmates..." Adam said, "We can't break up."

"He sounds like he hates you though. Why can't you two break-up?"

"Again, it's complicated. We're... Really meant for each other. We're
practically joined at the hip."

"Ok, so exactly happened to make him so mad? Just saying that your guys'
romance is too perfect can't have set him off."

"Besides that, I..." Adam sighed, "I also trashed the way he lived his
life. Before he moved in with me, he had his own life, he had a planned
purpose, he had a loving family..." Adam bowed his head, "And he lost
everything because of me."

"Ah, don't say that," Greg said as he turns and faces Adam, "If he lost
everything, you wouldn't bother being around him so much."

"You don't get it," Adam said, "He had his whole life planned out... He was
raised in a very simple and standard environment, and when his parents
found out he was my boyfriend, they kicked him out, and everything just
fell apart."

"So, he just has to start over, that's all."

"That's the thing, it's not that easy." Adam groaned as he grew sleepy,
"Starting over, for him, is like forsaking himself..."


~~~


"I don't share my feelings." Merrick stubbornly said, "I need to be strong
enough to stand on my own, and I should not burden anyone just because I
feel like I'm losing my mind."

"Yeah, my ex said the exact same thing." Tom said, "You even look like her
a little."

"It's not as simple as you think..." Merrick persisted, "There are things
that I really can't say... Things that I NEED to keep secret, for my own
sake, and for others."

"That's fine, just walk around them," Tom walked on his knees on the bed,
and put his arms around Merrick from behind, "You can't hold that stuff in
all the time, or it's going to kill you." He said softly. Merrick turned
his head, and closed his eyes as they began to water. "Everybody needs that
moment where everything comes out, and then have somebody hug them tight,
and say that it's going to be ok."

"... But I don't want to..." Merrick said, "What kind of... Person am I if
I can't even hold my emotions intact?"

"Heh," Tom gently laid Merrick back down, "A normal one..." Merrick
sniffled as he shook his head.

"I hate this... I'm always crying... I hate that I can't even stop that."

"... It's ok, buddy..." Tom said, "It's gonna be ok..." Merrick wiped his
eyes for a moment, "You don't need to make yourself deal with this stuff
alone."


~~~


"Forsaking himself?" Greg asked, "What's that supposed to mean?"

"He was raised in a very old-fashioned, traditional way..." Adam tried to
say, "It's like his whole lot in life was set in stone, but by being with
me, it all shattered into pebbles and fragments. And now he's got nowhere
to try and rebuild. You have no idea how much of a shock it was to him..."

"Personally, I think he's making too much out of what happened. What have
you done to make it up to him?"

"I bought him flowers, I apologized up and down, but I don't know what else
to do."

"Maybe he just needs his space."

"I figured that, but this whole thing is stressing me out." Adam hugged
Greg tighter, "I haven't slept a full night since this whole thing's
started."

"Awwooh" Greg snuggled closer.


~~~


"I still feel so hurt, but I miss him so much..." Merrick said, "I'm so
torn between loving him and hating him." He harshly clutches to the sheets
as he feels the man's arms around him.

"Just think of the good times you two had." Tom advised, "That's how my Dad
put up with my Mom all these years until they worked through their
problems."

"I've tried that," Merrick moaned, "But something keeps blocking it..."
Merrick holds himself back, "Every time I think about forgiving him, my
anger comes right back to hurt me..."

"That just means that you're not ready yet." Tom shrugged.

"But I'm sick of it... Now that he knows what's hurting me, it shouldn't be
so bad, but just seeing his face makes me remember when he said those awful
things to me."

"Maybe he just hasn't made it up to you the tight way yet."

"But..." Merrick closes his eyes, "He already does so much for me... I
don't know how or when this can me resolved..."


~~~


"Thank you for staying..." Adam said as he huddled with the chubby guy in
the dark, "I need this so much... Cuddling I mean."

"Your welcome," Greg said as he nuzzled Adam's chest. Now that he's not
sleeping alone, Adam feels drowsier at night than the last few nights.

"Mnnnhh..." Adam dozes off peacefully for the first time in so long.


~~~


"Please, don't..." Merrick shook his head, "I don't want to talk anymore."
He tries to hold back his emotions, getting rather sick of breaking down.

"Alright, it's ok," Tom said as he turned off the light, and climbed into
bed, "You can crash here tonight." After a pause after Tom got under the
covers, Merrick moves himself next to the beefy man, and put his hand on
his chest.

Tom puts his arm around Merrick, and pulled him in closer. It's at least
better than curling up alone on the cruise's roof.


---The Next Night---


"~This is~ the part when I say I don't want ya~ I'm stronger than I've been
before!~" A handful of lewd dancers prance around the song `Break Free',
both male and female, and all of them wearing an assigned number, to be
announced as the winners of the 3-Day contest. Several hidden judges look
and nod, noting each and every dancer as they gracefully move their bodies.

"~This is~ the part when I break freeeee~ 'Cause I can't resist it no
more~!" Merrick, in an erotic outfit spins and swoops in his dancing. His
hand meets another as hand as he rotates around with another male dancer,
and sways with an erotic rhythm.

Adam looks with reluctance at his dancing boyfriend, both annoyed and a
little dazzled at Merrick's appearance and performance.

"Yo, Adam." Jamal said from the side. Adam looked and turned back to watch
the show.

"Hey." Adam took a sip from his drink.

"So." Jamal looked at him with disapproval, "Was he good?"

"What?"

"What that chubbo good for ya? Musta been a hot night, cause you look a lot
better." Jamal told him bitterly.

"We didn't fuck, Jamal." Adam said irritantly as took another drink. Jamal
raised his eyebrows.

"You didn't?"

"No. Well," Adam shrugged, "I gave him a blowjob and spooned with him, but
I didn't get off. Something tells me I don't deserve to blow my wad."

"Well," Jamal took a seat next to him, "It's a start."

"I just... I still don't know how I'm going to fix this..." Adam says as he
bows his head down.


~~~


Once the final song was finished, all of the Gogo Dancers stood in a line,
holding hands as Queen Jizzelle stood before them, wearing a large, fluffy
feather headdress, a pair of huge fluffy wings, a silver one-piece that
covers her fake breasts, torso, and groin, with her legs covered in shiny
silver panty hose, and fluffy high-heels.

"Yes! Marvelous, aren't they, ladies and gentlemen~?!" She said in a her
booming voice, "Yes, wonderful, PLEASE give them one last round of applause
for our loverly dancers~!"

The crowd cheered, whistled, and called out as the sexy dancers raised
their joined hands up, and they took a bow as one.

"YEEES~!" Queen Jizzelle daintily clapped her fancy gloved hands, "As the
dancers go and get changed, our sleuthy judges will make their final
judgments, and I shall proclaim the winners of all our contests for the
cruise~! Let's MOVE them out, darlings~!" The crowd roared with
appreciation as the exotic dancers exited the many stages and platforms,
and into their respective lockerrooms.

Nick, fully dressed for the first time in days, walks up to Merrick pulling
on his shirt. "Hey man." He said, leaning on one leg, and crossing his
arms.

"Here to try and scoop more information out of me, Nick?" Merrick asked,
his Triton intuition kicking in, "Let me guess, you saw me leave with that
man after I finished dancing in the shower box."

"Look, man, I'm not here to say you shouldn't a done it, but I will say
that doin that kinda stuff don't make ya feel as good as you think."

"Well then," Merrick said as he pulled his shorts up between he legs, "Good
thing I didn't have him fuck my ass, or else I'd probably be falling apart
now."

"Oh, you didn't-"

"No. I just gave him a rimjob, and slept in his bed for the night."

"Ah, aight. Kinda glad, though. I know Adam's a dick for sayin that stuff,
but at least you didn't-"

"Lets not talk about it." Merrick cut him short, "I'd rather I not repeat
events that did me no good." Nick simply shrugged.

"Aight."


~~~


"Alright, my lovelies~!" Queen Jizzelle announced as she got up on
stage. "Let's get down to announcing the winners of our contests~!" A man
wearing a black jockstrap, white cuffs, and a bowtie walked up with a
jeweled box with several drawers came up on the drag queen's left side, and
a woman with a glimmering black swimsuit holding a layered tray with cloths
holding all of the medals.

"Mm, such lovely servants, MMM~!" Queen Jizzelle commented, "Let us start
the winners wiiiith," She opened one of the glamorous drawers, and picked
out an envelope, and taking a glance at it, "The Precious Painters
Contest~!" Queen Jizzelle announced. The woman on her right produced three
medals with a brush metal brush on a clear plastic ring on them, "3rd Place
belongs too..." She looks on the paper, "... Gregory Trenton!"

Applause came as Adam spotted the cute chubby guy from last night move up
on stage, and accepted the bronze brush medal. He smiled and clapped, `Good
for him, good for him' He thought.

"2nd Place goes to... Erika Callen~!" A green-haired girl came on up, and
accepted the silver brush medal, and stood next to Greg, "And 1st Place
goes to... Haley Struthen!" Another girl ran up, and accepted the golden
brush medal, "Lets give them a hand, my darlings~!" The crowd clapped and
cheered for them before they exited the stage.

Queen Jizzelle announced the winners for the Creative Costume contest, the
Fabulous Fiction contest -- in which applicants wrote up erotic or creative
short stories, the Spectacular Sculptors contest, the Daring Divers contest
-- which Tom had one 3rd place in. And now Queen Jizzelle just got done
with her personal favorite, the Delicious Drag contest.

"Mmm, I would LOVE to do this one, but you all know how unfair that would
be~" She giggles before waving her hand for the winners, "Lets give them a
charitable round, darlings~!" She cheekily said. The crowd applauded the
three drag winners as they left the stage.

"And now we come to our Stellar Singers Contest~!" She opened the envelope
from the sexy man as the erotic woman prepared the bundle of curving,
sterling music note medals.

"3rd Place goes to... Albert Hall!" A skinny guy came up, and accepted the
bronze music note, "2nd Place goes to... Debra Quiller!" A young
transsexual woman came up, and took the silver medal, "And 1st Place goes
to... Syrinx Amour!"

There came a pause, but no one came to accept the golden music note medal,
"Ahem, 1st Place Stellar Singer, Syrinx Amour~!" Queen Jizzelle announced
again, but no one came up, "Hellooo~ Where are you darling~?" The crowd
turned their heads, but Syrinx didn't show up, "Oh dear, looks like she's
not going to make it." Queen Jizzelle pouted.


~~~


"Ahh~! Ohh! Oh my God, yes~!" Syrinx moans out as Kevin is above his
girlfriend, thrusting into her over and over.

"God, you feel so good," Kevin panted as he grooved his hips in and out in
a rolling rhythm.


~~~

"Oh well, no worries," Queen Jizzelle waved her hand in dismissal, "We'll
have her medal delivered to their cabin after the festivities~

"And now, last, but certainly not least, the Graceful Gogo Contest~!" The
manly jock handed her the last envelope just as the busty lady unfolded the
double half-diamond medals with a small jewel at the center.

"Alright now, 3rd Place goes to... Diana Rosetta!" A violet-haired girl
climbed up on stage, and accepted the bronze. "2nd Place goes to... Merrick
Piscien!"

"Ah??" Merrick blinked in surprise.

"Huh??" Adam gapped a little, and then saw his fully clothed boyfriend
scamper up on stage, and accepted the shining silver medal.

"And the 1st Place winner is... Nicholas Rodriguez!"

"Oh shit!" Jamal said as he saw his hot Latino trot right up there, and
take the gold.

"Lets give them a big round of applause, lovelies~!" The crowd cheered as
Nick, Merrick, and Diana bowed and waved.

"YEAH!" Jamal roared out, "THAT'S MAH BOO! That's mah boo!" He clapped
hard, "Hahaha, WOO!!"


"Marvelous, simply magnificent~!" Queen Jizzelle claps with glee, "Please
attend tomorrow night, where we'll be announcing the Notable Awards~! See
you all then my sweeties~!" The flamboyant drag queen stepped off from
stage, so the next singer goes on up, wearing a brown leather codpiece and
a cape, along with two other nearly naked men with brown codpieces and
holding spears and shields, and began playing the rhythm and lyrics of
Theban, by Sebastian Castro.


Merrick walks in the dancing crowd, and glances towards the bar. His eyes
met with Adam's for a moment. He felt a small urge go to him, but just
walks off with a glance. Adam looks sadly, as his lover becomes mixed in
the masses. Merrick didn't look angry this time, more like... Forlorn.

Adam looked at his drink, and took a few deep breaths. His heart is
pounding at what he's about to do...

He tipped his drink down his throat, and walked into the crowd.

Pushing and shoving through the crowd, Adam found his way to Queen
Jizzelle, sitting at the Volunteer Table, where guests can sign up to do
musical numbers.

"Ahem, hey uh, Your Majesty?" Adam said. Queen Jizzelle looks up and gives
him a wide smile.

"Oh hello there, Fuzz Boooy~! What can I do for you, precious~?"

"I wanna sign up to do a number."

"That would be perfect, you can go up right after the Theban number!" Adam
nodded, his stomach churning with nerves, "Which routine would you like to
do~?"

"I wanna sing..." Adam double checked the list of acts, songs, and
performances " Act Number 73."

"Ooh, splendid-"

"But," Adam interrupted, earning an annoyed, quizzical look from the drag
queen.

"But what, Honeycakes?" Queen Jizzelle asked tensely.

"Could I um... Change some of the lyrics, please?"

"What KIND of changes?" She asked as her voice thickened, still agitated
that she was interrupted.

"Um, do you have a copy of the lyrics? A-And a pen, please?"

"Careful, sweetcheeks," Queen Jizzelle takes the sheet of paper with the
lyrics to Your Heart, and a pen, "We need to save these for other singers."

"Yes, ma'am." Adam took the pen, and wrote on the page, near the end of the
song. He rewrote a few of the words, and then showed it to Queen Jizzelle.

"Very well then," She shaped her fingers, and a couple of sexy men came up,
"This is Kyle and Jordan, they will be your back-up boys." She gave one of
the men the song page, "Please memorize these, CHANGES," She said with a
stern glance at Adam, "And get him ready for the number -- he's going with
73."

"Yes, Highness." Said Jordan, "This way, uh..."

"A-Adam" He said as they went.


~~~


Merrick grooves by himself in the mass of men and women, trying to lose
himself to the beat of the music, his neat silver medal glinting in the
many colorful laser lights as the music booms in the Dance Lobby.

Participating in the Graceful Gogo contest wasn't as satisfying as he
thought. It's not winning 2nd place that's disappointing him, but just the
idea of dancing for crowds just to spite Adam for his anger. All he's left
with is more emptiness inside him. Like he said before, he wants to forgive
Adam, but a lingering grudge still clouds in his head.


Once the current performance ended, the singers walked off the stage as
party music proceeded to play along in between performances. The stage
altered for a darker background with an array of starlights on a wall of
blue velvet, before a large, flat circle lowered down among the dots of
white light, and lit up as a full moon. The music died down, leading other
people to cast their sights onto the stage.

Two men half naked with silver streaks in their hair, only wearing black
leather pants and bicker gloves came up. Adam came up, his hair groomed in
a rebellious yet formal style, with some subtle silver designs around his
eyes. He wears a white sleeveless vest that in enclosed around his torso,
and is covered by a black leather coat with a wide collar pinned on his
shoulders neatly. Over his hands are white ruffles that come from within
his sleeves. He also wears tight jeans, adorned with pair shimmering chains
from his belt, draped over his outer thighs, and behind him.

He grabs the microphone, and brought it up to his mouth, "Uh, hey, hi!
How's everybody doing tonight?" He asked sheepishly. The crowd cheered for
him in answering his question. He smiles and nodded, "My name's Adam
Bryant, and I will be dedicated the next song to my beautiful boyfriend." A
few people cooed with affection, "He's that adorable blonde guy right over
there, Merrick Piscien."

Adam pointed, and a few people turned. Merrick turned himself around,
refusing to look at Adam, "You all know him, he won 2nd place as a Gogo
Dancer -- personally, I think he deserves 1st place." A few people chuckled
at that.

"We've been together for 8 years now." The people cheered encouragingly
from that. Adam smiled from the response, "Yeeeaaah!" Adam said, nodding,
"Can't imagine my life without him." After the crowd calmed down, he
continued, "Except there's a problem..." He took a breath, "A few days ago,
he and I had a really bad fight. I said some really shitty things to him."

Merrick crossed his arms, feeling very embarrassed and irritated right now,
"And now he won't talk to me. I tried apologizing, but he's still very
hurt. And I don't blame him." He said.

"So here I go, I'm gonna try and make things right, with a song that
relates to what used to be a main trial of our relationship. And
Merrick..." Adam looks at the blonde head, just aching to see those blue
eyes to turn, "I know I said some terrible things that I can never take
back..." Merrick cast his eyes down, "... But please give me a chance to
hold you again... I love you."

A fast-beat, cool-tempered rhythm started to play, the music of the song
`Your Heart' By Damian Dawn. Merrick turned around, and saw Adam had turn
around, facing a large electric moon. After a pause, Adam's head lifted,
"~Your heeeaaarrrrrtt!~" He sang

"Ahh~ Ahh~ Ahhh~Hhh" "Ahh~ Ahh~ Ahhh~Hhh" The back-up boys, Jordan and
Kyle, sang in sync.

"~Oh yeaah~ Yeeeaaahh~ Yeeeah~~ Ohh~hh...~" Adam turned around, "Listen..."

"~So many niiights~ I watched you sleep~" He sung longingly.  "~watched you
sleep~" Kyle hymned.

~"Tried to resiisst~ But it got so deep~" "~got so deeeep~" Jordan hymned

"~And when you're next to me~" Adam reached his hand out in the air,
"~You're still outta my reeeaach~" His fingers curled softly, "~But I just
loonng for you~" He put his fist to his chest, before letting it down.

"~My soul is dark~" Adam sang, "~I seize the night~" "~Seeeize the night~"
Kyle hymned.

"~But you're the Angel~ That showed me the light~" Adam rose his hand up.
"~Showed me the light~" Jordan hymned.

"~I try to be strong~" "~OhHHh~"

"~But I still long for~ Yoouuu~!"  "~Yoouuu~!"  "~Yoouuu~!"

"~I look into your heart~ And discooover myself~" Adam sang out, "~But I'll
never be part of your woorrlld~!" Jordan and Kyle sang their voices just
low enough to compliment Adam's voice, "~I need you~ Can't reach you~ We're
worlds apaaarrt!~ If you need meee~ Look into your heeeaaarrt~"


"Wow," Jamal said as Adam performed, "I didn't know he could sing like
dat."


"~You tame the beast~" Adam offered his other hand out as the other held
the microphone, "~I bleeeed for you~" Adam pressed his fist onto his chest.
"~I bleed for you~" Kyle hymned.

"~You showed me love~ That's somethin' I never knew" "~Neeever kneeew~"
Jordan hymned

Adam bend forward a little, "~I'll take the blaaaame~" He opened his hand,
and pressed his fingertips to his chest a couple of times, "~My liife's a
shaaaame!~ But I still long for~ Yoooouuuuuu~!" Adam grooved his body up,
and moved his open hand up as he sang the last word.  "~Yoooooouuuuuu~!"
"~Yoooouuuuuuuuuuu~!"

"~I look into your heart~ And discooover myseellf~" Adam chorused, "~But
I'll never be part of your woorrlld ~I need you~ Can't reach you~ We're
worlds apaaarrt!~ If you need meee~ Look into your heeeaaarrt~"

The music slowed down as part of the song. Merrick shook his head as his
eyes watered again while he turned. Members of the crowd looked in despair
as Merrick started to walk away.

It's too much. He just can't do this.

Adam's heart started to sink as he watched Merrick leave. His eyes
glistened as a last shread of hope keeps him together, "~Pleeease wait for
me...~"

Merrick came to a stop.

"~Please wait for him, booy~" Kyle sang lowly.

Merrick sniffled as his right foot took a slight move backward, his heart
feeling a battle of emotions.

"~I'll never be...~" Adam continued.

Adam's chest pounds as he can see Merrick start to turn around. Even Queen
Jizzelle was wrapped up, as if watching a very suspenseful moment in a
romance movie.

"~Apart of your world~" Jordan sang.

Merrick turned around, his blue eyes once again in tears, giving Adam a
hurt look, as if to say, `Why should I? You hurt me.'

"~But I'm innn your heeaarrt~" Adam closed his eyes and tiled his head up a
little, "~Forevveeerrrrrr~!"

Merrick turned around, and started striding to the stage.

"~I look into your heaaarrt, and discoovver myseeellf~" Adam saw Merrick
coming in fast, people moving out of the way for him, "~And you'll always
beee~ Apart of my woorrlld~!" Merrick is almost jogging back to him, "~I
need you~ I'll reach you~ We're worlds part~!" Merrick is right at the
stage, "~If you need me, look into your heeeaaaaarrrrrt~!"

As the music reached its climax, Adam bend down, and put his hand down,
just as Merrick raised his. Their hands met, and gripped each other, and
Adam smiles as he pulled Merrick right up on stage.

"~Look into your heart~ And discover myseellf~" Kyle sang as Adam locked
Merrick into a full on hug.

"~And you'll always beee~ Apart of my woorrld~!" Jordan sang as the crowd
cheered as the two men rocked a little from the hug.

"~I need you, I'll reach you~" Kyle sang.  "~I can reach you, babe~!"
Jordan sang.  "~We're world's apart~" Kyle and Jordan sang at the same
time.

Adam brought his microphone up to his lips, and sang one last time with
Merrick in his arms, "~If you need me, look into your heeeeaaaarrrrrrt~"

The Dance Lobby broke in amazed and enchanted joy as Adam pushed his mouth
against Merrick's, feeling his blonde lover gently stroke his face as held
him close. So many feelings surge inside of Merrick as he stands there, but
most importantly, he's feeling as if he can't stand to be without Adam for
even one more second.

Adam broke the kiss, and nuzzled Merrick lovingly as they embraced. He
dropped the microphone to hold Merrick tighter. "I missed you so much,
baby..." Adam mumbled.

"I'm sorry, Adam..." Merrick cried carefully, "I'm so sor-"

"No, it's my fault, sweetie, it's ok..." Adam said as he hugged Merrick
tighter, deafening out the noise of the audience, "I'm sorry, babe..."
