Disclaimer : The poem in it's entirety is not mine and belongs to the poet Jacob Sam-La Rose.
This is a quick snippet I decided to upload until I can post the latest chapter for We Kiss in a Shadow.
It's based off of Things That Could Happen by Jacob Sam-La Rose. =D The outline belongs to the poet, rightfully, but I edited it to make it DGM and shonen-ai appropriate. I hope you find it as sweet as I did!
- Love from, CK.
Things That Could Happen :
(1) He swoons, falls into my arms, and we live happily ever after. The restaurant applauds.
(2) There is a pin-drop silence. Allen turns the knife in his hand, slowly…
(3) I take a drink for courage and spew out more liquid than words. It splatters the tablecloth and Allen's dress-shirt and the night is ruined.
(4) I get interrupted by the blond man in the corner who asks Allen for a dance. Allen, being gracious, says yes and is swept off to a night of romance and sex and he forgets all about me. I seethe and go bald like Bookman, telling the story to anyone who will listen.
(5) He tells me he prefers women.
(6) He tells me he prefers Kanda.
(7) He falls in love-at-first-sight with the waiter.
(8) His golem chirps with a message and the moment falls, like a crumb, to his lap. He carelessly brushes it aside.
(9) He excuses himself from our table and then escapes through the bathroom window.
(10) He awkwardly changes the topic and we both spend the rest of our lives denying this moment ever happened.
(11) We end up having sex in a single bathroom stall. A line of people builds outside and eventually someone presses their ear to the door.
(12) He screams at me that he's a minor and I'm a pedophile. The police are summoned and I'm jailed for Twenty-Five to Life.
(13) He laughs in my face.
(14) I say it in a different language – maybe Swahili or French. Allen is incredibly impressed, but doesn't understand.
(15) He chokes, turns blue, and fights for breath but loses. I learn to numb myself with alcohol and tobacco.
(16) He chokes, turns blue, and I'm forced to give him the Heimlich. I break one of his ribs and he never forgives me.
(17) He doesn't believe me.
(18) Before I can speak, he reaches over the table to press his fingers to my lips. He smiles beautifully at me and says "I know, Lavi, I already know… and I feel the same way..."
In case you couldn't guess, the above were Lavi's thoughts on what could happen if he finally said "I love you" to Allen. D'awwwwww.
