" Magnus, why don't you ever talk about you parents?" Magnus tore his gaze away from the t.v. Over to Alec, who was sitting thoughtful next to him.
" Because it's painful, that's why." Magnus narrowed his eyes, playfully, and asked,

" Why?" Alec blushed, as Alec always does.

" I don't know, I just wanted to know." The blush grew darker. Magnus smiled, sadly.

" What was it like when they both died?" Alec asked quietly. Magnus thought back and shivered.

" I was sent to an orphanage and I was beaten up a lot." Magnus sighed remembering what else happened in the dark.

" I used to think my parents were still alive, they were just dropping me off, to pick me up later." Alec cuddled up against Magnus.

" And when the little kids used to get scared, I would sing to them." Alec perked up,

" You could...can sing?" Magnus laughed whole heatedly,

" Yes, bunny, yes I can." Alec tilted his head,

" What would you sing?" Magnus had known that was coming, so he started,

" Maybe far away,

or maybe real near by."

" He maybe pouring her coffee,

She may be straightening his tie." Magnus tilted his head onto Alec's

" Maybe in a house

all hidden by a hill

she's sitten playin' piano

he's sitten' payin' a bill." Magus stood up, throwing up his hands,

" Bet'cha their young

bet'cha their smart!

Bet they they collect things like ashtray and art,

Bet'cha their good," Magnus shrugged,

" Why shouldn't they be?" Magnus sat sown with a sigh,

" Their one mistake was giving up me...!" Magnus put his arma round Alec,

" So Maybe now its time

and maybe when I wake,

They'll be calling me baby,

Maybe." Magnus looked down at Alec, only to realize Alec was asleep. Alec was curled agianst Magnus. Magnus sighed.

" Bet'cha he reads

Bet'cha she sews,

Maybe she's made me a closet if clothes," Magnus frowned,

" Maybe their strict,

as straight as a line," Magnus sighed, kissing Alec's head softly,

" Don't really care,

as long as their mine."

" So, maybe now this prayer's

the last one of its kind," Magnus stood and went over to the window, looking out at the stars,

" Won't you please come get your baby," Magnus felt a single tear run out of his green cat like eye, and run down his face,

" Maybe."
