Jordan: I writing this entire chapter with speech recognition. Using a rock band microphone that I found.

Henry: And he doesn't own either Unnatural History or Bioshock.

As Jasper saw Henry leaning over the corpse, and he noticed a tear making its way down his face. He knew of this must be a difficult time for Henry, but he felt they should move on and find the diary. For it was the reason that Tenenbaum and sent them there in the first place. And he knew that she would not want Henry to struggle with her death. "Henry," he said, "Come on, she would not want you to sit here and cry, she would want you to find the diary and destroy this accursed city."

"You're right." Henry said as he stood up. He wiped his face before walking out of the room, and for some reason that made Jasper feel like he did something wrong. He had realized or the time he had known Henry and that saying the wrong thing at the wrong time could create a whole mess of feelings of neither of them would want to deal with. As he exited the room to look for Henry here realized that he needed to be more sensitive to Henry at this time, because in truth he had no idea what Henry was going through. He had led a full life where no one had died and he had always gotten what he wanted. But the one thing he wanted in the most was the one thing he could ever have. Jasper had had feelings for Henry for quite a long time however, he never noticed them. He believed it all started when Henry trapped in a net on his birthday.

"Jasper, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you I was just testing what I have learned." I heard Henry outside my door begging. When I had escaped from the net I slapped him and ran into my room. He really seemed sorry but I wasn't gonna give up. Eventually I heard him fall to the ground. When I open my door, he was curled up in a ball on the ground, and I could see that his eyes were red from all the crying. I hadn't known he was crying I simply thought he was faking it. I felt like one of those words that daddy said I shouldn't say. And when I saw a bruise on his cheek I felt even worse. I shook him gently to wake him up." Are you still mad at me?" he asked as I saw tears forming in his eyes. I felt warm tears streaming down my face as I lean down and hugged him. "I'm so sorry Henry, I shouldn't have gotten angry at you. It was stupid and I never meant to hurt you." He buried his nose into my collarbone and started crying again. "You're my best friend Jasper, I'm sorry I trapped you in a net." We sat like that crying and apologizing for hours. Eventually we fell asleep in each other's arms. Somehow, we were moved into my room and we were both laying down on the bed when we woke up.

Jasper had never told Henry that he knew they were being moved in the middle of the night. And Henry never knew that Jasper had nestled into his chest on purpose. But apparently Jasper did not know a lot of things about Henry either.

When he found Henry, he was sitting behind a desk with his head in his hands crying yet again. He wanted to ask Henry what was going on, but he realized that that might do more harm than good, so he just kneeled next to him and put an arm around his shoulder. He felt that was the best idea. When in all honesty Jasper had no idea what he could do, Henry had lost something very important to him and Jasper just could not fill the void. To Jasper it felt like his heart was being ripped out of his chest, but when he realized how it felt he thought that he might know what Henry felt like. Like his whole world was crashing down around him and all he had to protect himself was an umbrella. He had previously come to terms with the fact he had feelings for Henry, but this was something more. It was time to face the facts, he was in love with Henry. Over the Moon, through the stars, madly in love with him. And seeing him like this, made his heart break. "So, where to next? " He had to make Henry focus on something other than what was hurting him.

Henry pressed the red button on the little tape recorder in front of him. "My little Henry, you have come far in your journey through Rapture. And let me take the time to say that I'm very proud of you. You have fought against the odds and survived on the surface and for this I am eternally grateful. And sadly your journey is not over. Fair or four censors throughout the corners of Rapture that can only be activated by a Big Daddy, and if I'm correct Tobias has already informed you of the location of which you seek. Adjacent to the vita chamber I have enclosed a map of Rapture with the four censors marked. I am truly sorry that you must go through this ordeal but trust me when I say that things will look up and things will change for you my little child, my little Henry."

Henry's eyes were beginning to water again, and Jasper's arms were already around him as he started to cry. They sat there for was seemed like hours in each other's arms while Henry was crying. Henry knew he was taking advantage of the fact that Jasper liked him, but the moment he didn't care. The one person that kept him tethered to his life besides his missing brother. He didn't know how he could go on without Tenenbaum alive, and although it held a different meaning for him, having Jasper's arms around him made him feel a world better. When he finally stood up he placed a hand on Jasper's shoulder. "Thank you." He said softly.

He hoped that when Jasper forgave him for what was soon to happen, they could remain friends as they once were. However he felt it was unlikely given the circumstances. In truth he actually wished he felt something for Jasper, but the long dead scientists of Rapture had other ideas for him. Henry loved Jasper, but he wasn't able to be in love with him. And it wasn't because technically they were Cousins. It was because to keep Tobias and Henry together when they were children, the scientists implanted pheromones. Henry couldn't love Jasper because he loved his brother. And even though Henry was very open minded and he really wished it wasn't so, he was in love with Tobias.

Jordan: Ah pheromones, they always put a certain wrinkle in things.

Wishing you Black skies and Clearwater.
