I have to sing 'You're beautiful' by James Blunt; I'm not half bad at it, even though my voice keeps cracking because I'm still kind of sick. God, my Mother is such a fucking bitch! Just a few more years and I won't have to fucking look at her goddamn face ever fucking again, I'm going to move the fuck to England and never see her again! Dominics' suit sort of looks like Wolfwoods from Trigun, except more expensive.

Dorian closed his eyes and let the hot water beat softly on his face. He smiled when he felt two strong arms encircle his waist. "You're late."

"By five minutes, Recitalist wouldn't shut up about me taking you to see his show," Dominic said and placed a soft kiss on the top of Dorians' platinum mane.

"I love you," Dorian said suddenly and Dominic froze.

"I-I-I-I-I love chocolate," Dominic blurted out and in record time, he stumbled out of the shower, dried off, got dressed, dashed out of the house, and rove off.

Dorian stood there stunned, and then the tears came.

"You're an idiot," Recitalist said bluntly when Dominic told him what happened.

"That is the least you've ever said to me."

"I wasn't done. He declares love to you and say you love chocolate. I mean what kind of self-centered bastard, says he loves food when confronted with that? Dorian really loves you, he's a good kid. You just smashed his heart to pieces, into dust, in the babies of dust, into the embryos of dust, the fucking sperm of dust."

"I already feel like shit Ree, I don't you to rub it in. I panicked, no one has ever said they loved me and meant it."

"I love you."

"You're my brother, that doesn't count. What the hell am I supposed to do?"

"Tell him how you feel you moron, it's not like you can do more damage than you have already," Recitalist snapped and threw the phone, nailing Dominic in the forehead with it.

The phone was ringing and Dorian just curled into a tighter ball. He didn't want to deal with anything else today.

Vlad Masters, if you have something important to say, say it, otherwise don't waste my time.

Beep!

Dorian, please answer the phone it's Dominic. I really need to talk to you. I'm sorry for what I said, I didn't mean it, I panicked.

TELL HIM BEFORE I FUCKING HIT YOU!

I-I love you Dorian, please talk to me.

Wordlessly, Dorian reached out and picked the phone up and dropped it back in its cradle.

When Dominic heard the dial tone he slid down the wall onto the floor, pulling his knees to his chest he rested his forehead against them.

"I'm such an idiot. No one can love me," he snapped at himself as he cried, tears rolling unchecked down his cheeks.

"Did you call…" Recitalist trailed off when he saw his brother; he felt his heart rip slightly at the sight of his normally strong brother in tears, curled in a ball like a small child.

"Please, just leave me alone," Dominic choked, his voice thick as his breath hitched.

Silently Recitalist left the room, it was William all over again, the only other person his brother had loved, and he had spat in his face.

Dominic didn't come to school for three days and Dorian began to worry. Finally he decided to call the man and apologize for the way he acted, he had no right to do that Dominic, it was his own fault anyway for surprising Dominic anyway.

"May I speak to Dominic?"

"Who is this?" Recitalist had answered the phone sounding grim.

"Dorian."

"I'll see if he'll talk to you."

"Hello?" Dominics' voice was thick and he sounded horrible, as if he had been crying.

"Dominic, I'm sorry for hanging up on you, it's just…"

"It's just no one can really love someone like me, I've heard it before," Dominic said cutting Dorian short.

"No, not that. I'm a teenager, I do stupid things when I'm upset, you had hurt me and I wanted to hurt you back, I'm really sorry."

"So you don't hate me?"

"No, I love you."

Suddenly, Dominic went from dark and gloomy to his normal…okay so nothing about his is normal but you get the idea, self. "I love you too baby doll. Want to go to Recitalists' show?"

"I would love to."

"I'll pick you up in an hour."

I'm sorry it took so long to update. First I went with my brother to his friends house to play video-games, then I had fucking piano lessons, then I had to go to sleep, then I had school, then I had to help the band at the football game, then I had to sleep again, then I had to take a shower because the lead singer of Bauhaus and David Bowie slipped into my dreams and…umm yeah…anyway, then finally I got to post this chapter, sorry for no lemon, it's going to be in the next chapter…in public.
