Chapter Four

(erik)

The music WAS dead... wasn't it? Had this boy really brought it back? Or was it just a lie... Like so much had been? So much...

I promised myself I would never think of that again, so why was I? Damnit, what about this boy made me think things I never thought possible to think, to feel, to want to feel? I never tried to reach your Eden. Looks like I've found it anyway.

Wouldhe stop lookign atme like that? With those hopefull eyes, mouth...open... NO! I would NOT... I would...not... I would...

Oh hell.

Who was I trying to kid?

Besides myself, who, I might add, was not falling for it.

"Boy."

"Yes?"he looked do damn hopefull... But whatwas hehoping for? That a murder and insaneman would love him? Which he does no- Ok, fine, I give up. Theres no one to act for anymore, besideshim and acting just hurts him.

Now, how do I go about this without losing him? Either to my insanity or through fear. I couldn't do that again. I couldn't. I need someone to hold too much...Too much to lie anymore.

Slowly, without knowing what I was doing, I sang. The words came out slowly at first, but... I was, first and foremost, a musician. At first my words shocked the boy, shocked that I was singing...For him. Though I doubt he knew who I sang for.

Did it matter? ...Yes. It mattered very much. To me, at any rate.

(raoul)

He, Erik, sang. But he just told me how the music had died? Had I brought it back? No, that wasn't possible. Maybe when he'd said it was gone he was lieing... Then why was he singing now? It didn't make any sence! Yet, I could hear his voice agian, the very thing that made me love him in the first place... It was so beautiful... I was falling all over again. Such a wondeful, painful feeling.

When Erik finally stopped, I couldn't help myself. There was notihng I could do to stop it. Of course, when I found him actully returning the second kiss I ever gave him- though I've dreamed of thousands more- I swear that I'd died, or that this was just another dream...

(erik)

Well. So much for not falling in love. But, it did feel good, for the moment at least. I had a feeling that was goign to change. As long as it last...

Paradise... Eden... God... Religion... Eden... You...

It wasn't until you started moving so that I was pressed against the bed that I broke out of my trance. "What?" I yulped, surprised.

The vicomte jerked back. "I...uh...I... Sorry."

"There's nothing to be sorry for," I muttered before fleeing through the window. WHat the hell? I couldn't stay there... It... I... Just no. I would never go looking for the boy again.

Or so I kept telling myself. I would. Not.

(raoul)

What did I do? What made him leave?

Did you ever think of me,
As your best friend.
Did I ever think of you,
I'm not complaining.

I never tried to feel.
I never tried to feel.
This vibration.
I never tried to reach.
I never tried to reach.
Your eden.

(Your eden. Your eden.)

Did I ever think of you,
As my enemy.
Did you ever think of me,
I'm complaining.

I never tried to feel.
I never tried to feel.
This vibration.
I never tried to reach.
I never tried to reach.
Your eden.

(Your eden. Your eden.)

I never tried to feel.
I never tried to ...
(Your eden.)
