Dane is destined for greatness, his boyfriend Krish just knows it, but first he needs to break into the local music scene.<br><br>Randy Blake is Dane's idol, a small-town musician with a sound Dane likes. When Blake asks Dane to stop by sometime, maybe have a private jam session, Dane is ecstatic. But it seems Blake has something other than music on his mind.<br><br>Krish struggles with jealousy -- he knows Blake would help advance Dane's music, but Krish just can't trust the man. A more pressing question, though, is can he trust Dane when his lover seems blinded by his idol?

His Song

“Yes.” Randy takes a step towards him, still masturbating, still eager for something tonight. “It’s just a fuck, kid. You’ve done it before. Let me get off and we’ll talk about getting you into the studio, what do you say?”


“No.” When Randy touches him, Dane shoves him away, hard enough to send the older man reeling back into the dresser. “I’m not…This isn’t—”


The words aren’t there. Wounded and hurt, he flies from the room, down the stairs. Snagging his guitar and bag, he stumbles blindly from the house and out into the cold night as hot tears course down his cheeks. His chest swells with a pain he can’t describe, a disenchantment he can’t even begin to comprehend, and his mind spins out of control as he hurries the two blocks back to the Metro. He has to get home, he knows that much at least. He has to get home to Krish. You’re just like all the rest,isn’t that what Randy said? You’re not all that great.
