Karaoke night part 2/5

The aftermath of the lake has been beautiful and confusing for Brian. On one hand, he had a new love. A healthy new relationship. It has been so warm and wonderful being with Peter. He was kind and goofy and funny. A true Gentleman. He opens the car door for him. He gives him little notes every morning. I love your smile. You're mine, I'm yours. Thank you for being in my life. I've never felt this way before, this happy. Yes, Pete was definitely smitten. The love poppy wakes up early, makes breakfast, picks a different type of flower every morning, and leaves it on "their" night stand, before he goes to practice. Yes, he sort of moved in. Didn't even asked.

It was fast. Brian didn't care. Didn't question it. He suffered too much to think about waiting. He was happy with Peter. Yes, Peter he likes his name more than his nickname. Pete, sounds unfamiliar. Peter sounds better on his lips. Maybe because no one calls him this way. Maybe because only he can. Brian has been trying to think of a cute pet name for them; he can't find one that doesn't sound forced. Unnatural! Peter, on the other hand, has decided to call him: Amore mío. Italian for my love. The love poppy is definitely smitten. He loves italian black and white movies. The drama, the food and culture. The language.

So, Amore mío, it is! Brian likes it. It's a bit much but after a week he has gotten used to it. Peter is wonderful. An amazing boyfriend.

He cooks, he opens the car door, he gives him love notes and flowers. He smiles with glee every time he wakes up next to Brian. It's beautiful what they have. Perfect even! Yet, Brian isn't fully happy. Peter is living in wonder. However Brian feels like something is missing from his life, someone.

The white headed boy can't explain it. Why isn't he in bliss. He has the perfect boyfriend. He's in love. Marlena isn't in his life anymore. Neither is Mara. He's free. He has new friends.

Sebastian's face canes to mind. It always does, ever so often. He feels guilty. But he can't help it.

At times he, Peter would be cooking, naked, nothing but an apron. Ended, the boy knows how to set the mood.

However, sometimes, Brian would walk into the kitchen and look at him. Handsome, naked. Happy with glee. And all of a sudden, Just for a split second, Brian would see someone else. Sebastian.

Happiness would engulfed him. Pure happiness. Than guilt would destroy it. Finally, sadness comes, for Peter would come back. Once again, guilt! How could he be this cruel?

He had made a choice. But he has regrets. That night, he knew that he had made the right choice. He still does.

Peter is the better man, the right man. However, his soulmate wasn't the right guy, but the wrong one.

Longing was in his heart. Chest pains, now and then.

The heart wants what it wants!

Peter walks into the living room.

"Amore mío."

"Penny for your thought."

Brian smiles, he loves this man. He does.

"I was thinking about Sebastian."

There was no secrets between them.

"I see. I've been thinking. What if we go to karaoke tonight. You can sing your feelings away. There's this bar I like, it's not far."

"You love me too much! I'm sorry about Bash. I can't help it still. I promise it'll pass eventually."

Peter wakes to him, sits on the couch and takes his hands. He gives him one of those, I can't leave without you looks.

"I would never ask you to forget your first love in a week. That's impossible. If you hadn't chosen me that day, it would have taken me an eternity to forget you."

"You mean it?"

I mean, after a couple of blondes with big boobs, I would eventually forget!"

"Idiot!"

"I love you."

"I can share your heart with Bash as long I'm the one who gets to wake up next to you every morning."

God, he loves this man! He was perfect!

"Okay, let's go to karaoke!"

"I love you, you goofball!"

"I'll take it!"

They share a longing look and kiss. To this day, Brian can still feel his knees weakened by this. Whatever they had was definitely more than a simple infatuation. Their love was so powerful. Beautiful. The pall that it has on them is overwhelming. Peter takes advantage of the situation and started undressing him.

An afternoon of passion was never denied!

Hours later after an afternoon of sinful passion. The lovebirds are at the karaoke place.

Brian loves the ambiance. It's a very nice place. For some reason most people are singing country. He can feel every song. Sebastian comes to mind every time.

Peter knows but he understands. Brian reassure him with their private look of I adore you.

They smile and drink beers. Peter sings a few songs. Everyone for him. He hasn't sing yet. He's waiting for the right time, he didn't know when that would be, but it would come eventually.

Everyone looks at them, they can see how in love the lovebirds are. It's infectious.

"Peter, I love this moment. You make me happy."

"Amore mío I always love being with you. Thank you for letting me move in without asking, by the way. I wasn't trying to, I just couldn't get enough of you, of us."

"I don't mind. I love us living together! I can't stop being happy. You're something else. A bit wild. I haven't forgotten about the train, that was crazy. Jesus your bike!"

"He he. Yeah I am. You've seen nothing yet! About the bike, don't worry a friend got it for me. It's back at my parents.

Talking about my parents, I'm planning on coming out to them this weekend, would you come? I want them to know you. To know you're my boyfriend."

"I uh…I, yeah, wow, ok yes! Totally! I'd love to meet them. Do you think they'll like me?"

"They're going to love you! Promise! My parents are very open minded. They've been bugging me for years! They want me to be happy. I just hadn't found anyone worth getting serious, till now, till you!"

"Ok, I'll come! I'm happy!

Peter kisses the back of his had and smiles with glee.

"I gotta take a wiz!"

"Go get us shots in the meantime."

"Sure!"

Brian makes his way to the bar with a smile on his face. (I'm meeting the parents!)

It takes a few minutes for the bartender to give him his shots. The boy was so happy, he doesn't even notice when Sebastian and Lexy come and sit on the table next to his.

When he gets the shots, he walks back carefully not to drop them, then.

Shock

(Sebastian! Oh God!)

They both lock eyes. His heart does a summersault!

The intensity of the fixated eye lock makes both Peter and Lexy uncomfortable.

This night was going to be a nightmare….
