Characters: Drake S. Dave S. Veronica and Balthazar B.

Authoress Ramblings: Alrighty...ONE chapter left after this,and YOU, the reviewers have to make a choice. Happy ending or not-so happy ending? Also: In this chapter, we find out that it's been about three years since Parasite, BUT it can be taken for any time after Parasite, I just wanted to have a concrete time for the relationship, in the event of a happy ending.

And on a completely unrelated note: I am in an AMAZING mood. I made beignets, figured out Warehouse 13 and saw Justin Beiber get shot.


Drake's eyes closed as he finished his story, and Dave moved to sit on the floor by Drake.
"I'm here for you. I'll always be here."
"Luv…don't make that promise to me. Not if you're not 100% sure you can keep it." Drake stood up, careful to avoid Dave's fingers with the wheels of his chair and his heels. He left the room, and Dave stared blankly after him.


"You seem preoccupied, Drake. Is this about Alistair?"
"No, Veronica, it's not."
Veronica looked at her apprentice worriedly, he'd been in a depressed state all lesson, and, she assumed, all day.
"Amanda?" Veronica was sure it wouldn't be about Dave.
Drake shook his head and replied "Dave."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing really…"
Veronica guessed that it was Drake's own insecurities then.
"I need some advice…"


Balthazar watched his apprentice pace the area between two coils, and was getting irritated by it.
"What's wrong, Dave?"
"I don't know," Dave knew lying was hopeless, "Drake's been really depressed lately, and I haven't seen him."
Drake had taken to staying in a guest room, away from Dave, and was busy with show planning any other time Dave was around. Balthazar was hopeless when it came to modern dating. He and Veronica were going to marry unless something had prevented it, they'd just accepted it as fact and moved on. Drake and Dave couldn't marry in the state of New York, and were in the middle of their third year of dating.
"You could try to talk to him. Make him sit and listen."
Dave nodded, resuming the pacing he'd paused earlier.
"I need advice…"
