Aaron spoke, and I heard him out, holding onto his hand. Shoot? What did he mean by that? Where had he been at and did someone go on a shoot spree today? When he told me about the heart monitor on Eddie and the doctors, I sighed lightly. Before I could say anything, the waiter walked over. I saw Aaron point to something, and then looked down. I questioned what he would recommended vegetarian wise, and told him that I would have that, before he walked off. Some kind of salad with berries or something. "You can go check on him, if you want," I told him, with a small smile. "I don't want you to be worried. You can go after we are done here."

I looked at Ren and shook my head. "No, it'll be late and I want to spend tonight with you," I told him, "after all, tomorrow night is opening night." I made sure to speak low so people around us didn't hear. Anyone who looked at us would think we were brothers or friends unless they looked under the table. I smiled softly. "Take out your phone. We can set up times to go to open house before I have to leave. So before 2," I told him. I would be happy if we bought a pile of junk and turned it into our dream house or if it was perfect just the way we bought it. I wanted it to overlook the ocean and Ellis Island. My relatives from long ago had been there once. I smiled at the thought and looked at Ren. "Try and find them near the border of town. I'd like to be able to wake up and see our beautiful statue of New York," I told him. I kind of wanted it away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. I was tired of falling asleep to police sirens and car alarms. I chuckled at the thought if Ren and I living the suburban life. It's be obvious we were from the busier part of town by far.

I smiled at Aaron, though I partly felt bad that I was happy he wanted to be with me. Not that I didn't expect him to want to be with me. I guess, I kind of felt bad for Eddie a little. I thought about when Aaron came get me in the hospital, and what I would have done if I didn't have him. I also slightly remember Eddie helping him with me, since I was drugged up in sedatives. My mind went to recently when Aaron was sick and Eddie was there for him to bring him to get his blood test and was with him when he passed out. Even just the other day, what if I didn't go find Aaron and he died in that theater. I squeezed his hand as I took out my phone and search through the houses. I guess we would need to find a realtor also. I thought about leaving with no one on top or the bottom or side of us. Nothing put the outside and neighbors in their own homes. I smiled to myself. Then, thinking about Aaron again, went on. "Are you up for tomorrow? I mean, you missed a lot of stage time and your heart." I thought about Eddie again and wondered who would play his part. Better yet, all that hard work seemed so waisted.

"I'll be fine," I told him. I was not going to miss opening night. I felt kind of bad that Eddie was missing it. No, not kind of bad, really bad. I'd have to get the barricade boys together and sing Red and Black with them in front of Eddie so he could sing along. I looked at Ren with a small smile and our plates were set down. I took a bite and made sure Ren was eating his. Apparently I had ordered some kind of noodle with rosemary on the top and a yummy sauce. "I guess I ordered that thing from the movie with the rat," I said with a small chuckle. I took a bite and hoped a rat didn't prepare this for me. I hated rodents. I hated any small animal really. If they didn't come up to my shin, I would kick them or trip over them. I shuttered at the thought of a rat preparing my food. The food was good though, so I guess as long as I didn't know I was fine. "I'll just have to stay up late tonight reviewing my lines and my accent." I told him with a sort of sorry look on my face since I'd be keeping him up.

He better be fine. I wasn't sure I would be able to take it if something else happened to Aaron. I didn't even try to think about it. I knew I would be on edge the entire time as it was. Mostly just knowing I would be in that same theater that almost took him away from me. When the food came, I smirked at Aaron's comment before eating the salad of greens, veggies, blue berries, and walnuts with some zesty sauce on it. It was almost like a sweet and sour deal, and was better than I thought it was going to be. When he said he would practice tonight half of me was exited to be able to hear his perfect voice all higher long, but there was also a part that wanted to sleep. I wondered if maybe we should wait to look for a house. Maybe when he had time. "Do you know if they are you to do an after party or anything?" I wondered, trying not to think of anything too much.

I nodded and looked at Ren, my eyes easily running over his body. "I'm not going though. I want to go visit Eddie," I told him, "maybe sing one of the songs with him." I looked at Ren with a small smile before finishing my meal. Was I really that hungry? Whatever, I wanted desert. I didn't want fancy desert, just moist chocolate cake sounded good. I called a waiter over and asked for the desert menu. When he brought I found something that sounded like it was chocolate and ordered it. I took out my wallet so I was ready to pay for the check and looked at Ren again. "Plus I'd like to spend my celebration with you and only you," I told him, "you know because I love you and everything," I realized I had said that loud and quickly added "brother" at the end of my sentence so people didn't think we were together.

I knew my face was red when Aaron's voice suddenly lifted in tone. I looked down and took another bite of good, and swallowed. Did he just? A few people close to us and glanced for a second and them went simply back to eating. I sighed slightly and looked back into Aaron's glorious blue eyes with a smile. "And everything?" I questioned, trying not to laugh. I thought about him saying that in his vows. It was funny, and well, while the calling me brother part threw me off until I figured out what he was doing, I knew what he meant. I heard him order dessert and started to think about tomorrow. Finally, some normalcy could come back to our lives.

I smiled as I looked at Ren, realizing I had said something stupid. "You know what I meant," I told him with a smirk. I saw the waiter come by and looked at the cake hungrily. I ate it quite quickly and called for the bill. I leaned my hand in the palm of my hand and watched Ren, waiting for him to be ready to leave. I put the money in the bill and didn't tell Ren how much it cost. I did almost gasp at the price though. We weren't coming here anytime soon again. I kept my cool and when Ren was done stood. I walked out, thanking the waiter and got in the car. I smirked and took out my old iPod. It was like the first generation of the classic. Like my phone, I didn't really need anything fancy, just something to do what I needed. I changed the song to I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing and looked at Ren with a sly smile on my face. I reached for his hand and kissed his cheek, my voice so low to the music that it was almost a whisper and my lips right next to his ear. "And I don't wanna miss a thing," I sang along to it, planting a light kiss on his neck. I pulled out of the lot and began driving back to our flat. When we got there, I half thought of carrying Ren up bridal style but figured it'd be best if he didn't have a heart attack. I rolled my eyes at the press still waiting around and pulled Ren close to me so he hugged my chest and hid his head. I flashed a wide smile and heard a thank you. "If you see part of his face, blur it," I told them, slipping a five dollar bill into their hand. I walked into our flat, my arm still around Ren and checked to make sure he was still alive. "That should make them go away for a while," I told Ren. I smiled and let go of him slowly before walking into our room and changing into something comfortable, sweats and a t shirt. I walked into our study room and left the doors open. "Let me know if you want me to close these," I told Ren. I walked around and began to do my vocal warm ups which consisted of the pigeon sounding one, rolling my tongue, and saying watermelon cantaloupe with over announciation.

I looked at Aaron when he paid for the dinner. I tried to sneak a peek, but Aaron wasn't having any part of that. We walked out easy enough, and I sighed. It seemed like Aaron and I might just be able together and maybe I would be okay with it. For a second, I tried to think of my life without him, but I quickly shook it away. It was too much to try to think about. The second the song echoed through the speakers of the car, I felt like everything just made since. I didn't want him to stop singing. I didn't want his lips to stop kissing my body. Aaron could do the craziest things to me sometimes. I smiled, thinking of him singing the entire song maybe one day to me or something. The words really were perfect. When we got to the flat and Aaron suddenly pulled me to him, I looked at him, blinking, confused at first, but then noticed the press, and buried my face in his strong chest with a small sigh. I held him a bit hard as the camera flashed. When we got in the flat I smiled at Aaron, a bit off, but still feeling okay. I thought about that picture and wondered why Aaron did that. I walked into our room as Aaron started to warm up and put on a pair of boxers and white shirt, before sitting down in our chair. I thought about going in to watch him, but didn't want to be in my love's way. I hard him warming up and smiled, finding it odd what they did. Still, I was kind of excited to see him tomorrow on stage. I yawned, and decided to go take a quick shower. I looked over myself, and took off the bandages. There where some dry blood area, but the scratch that had a piece of glass in it was what worried me slightly. How did I get that? The water stung ever open wound, but I let it soak me. I walked out back in the boxers and t-shirt again, standing now at the studio door with a smile.

I walked out into the room and meowed playfully to Ren's face. I smirked and grabbed my script, pretending Ren was one of the barricade boys. I smirked as I looked at him and ran a finger over his hair to smooth it over. My blue eyes easily made it to him and I thought about singing a song to him from Catch Me if You Can where a girl is trying to get the main character to sleep with him. I smirked at the thought of doing those dance moves to Ren and sang a part from the Look Down/Paris scene. I watched Ren's reaction and raised my arm at the last words of the song. I grabbed his phone and opened YouTube to get a karaoke video up.I began with the words and smiled, taking a spot in his lap and wrapping my arms around his neck. I rested my head on his chest as I sang some of the words. "Wise men say, only fools walk in," yes, it was that cheesy love song by Elvis Presley, but every word described my falling for Ren. As I advanced through the song, I pulled away from him, my hand being the last thing to let go of his own. I grinned as I looked at him and the passion in my eyes was unexplainable. Sure, I was an actor, and that combined with my undying love for Ren just made me all the more passionate.
