2 – The first letter of your nameDaniel opened his eyes. He was very early that morning. But he got up anyway. He went to the kitchen, took a cup of coffee and watched through the window the misty weather. He thought he never got used to the view of the sea yet, and maybe he would never get totally used to it. He grew in the shadow of the mountains; how could he get used to the sea?“Life can be quite strange” he thought while drinking his coffee “who could imagine I would live so close to the sea?”He came back into the bed, lay down under the covers and turned on his right side. He looked at Richard, while he was still sleeping. Richard had never snored when he was younger, but he began doing it quite often. Daniel wasn’t annoyed by his snoring, he heard almost no sound while sleeping. This was their rest day and Daniel decided to enjoy staying in the bed until Richard had woken up. This would take a while, they had a funny night hanging out, and Richard would sleep until late. They should spend some more nights at home, but Richard couldn’t be stopped easily. And, after all, Daniel liked this lifestyle too. He only lacked all the strength he had more than ten years before.“Who could imagine I would live with such a wonderful guy” thought Daniel again “after all that happened in these last two years”, and his mind started travelling back in time.…“Long time no see, Dan.” said Richard, with that smile Daniel had never forgotten. He smiled that way only when he was feeling a little shy.“Long time no see, Rich” replied Daniel, in a cold way, with his arms folded.They stayed silent for some minutes then Richard said:“Don’t you have anything to say to an old friend?”“Old friends usually don’t disappear for eight years” replied Daniel with a not so false angry tone and highlighted: “let alone the “old friends””.“We’re angry today” sarcastically said Richard “let’s have a sit!”They sat down under their tree.“This place hasn’t changed at all, has it?” said Richard.“You should know well that here nothing ever changes” answered Daniel “and you haven’t changed that much, Rich. You still look so young.”“Thank you very much, Dan” said Richard smiling.“But I see you’ve changed inside. When did you become so sarcastic?” asked Daniel.“Life and time teach you many things, Dan” replied Richard.They then started to talk about their life in the last years. Richard had travelled much, never stopping in any place more than two months. New York, Canada, Florida, the New England, Phoenix, California. Countless places and countless experiences. He already knew a lot about Daniel. As he thought, Richard’s parents told him many things about what happened. He began to regret having avoided them.“I came back home twice” said Richard. Daniel was shocked:“So why didn’t you tell me anything?”“It was only for some days, and I didn’t want to be a nuisance in your new life” replied Richard.“But you had no problem being a nuisance now” said Daniel angrily.“If bakırköy escort I am such a nuisance, I may leave you alone” but he didn’t get up.“How many days are you going to stay?” asked then Daniel.“I don’t know, I promised my parents I would stay longer than the previous visits, it might be a month, it might be two; who knows?” answered Richard.They stayed silent for some minutes then Richard turned to him and said:“How long should I be waiting to get a hug, Dan?”“Eight years” answered Daniel with a so badly faked anger that Richard smiled. Then they finally hugged. Daniel couldn’t describe what he was feeling in that moment. He was so overjoyed, as well as angry and happy at the same time. Then they lay down on the grass looking at the sky.“When did you get that little tattoo on your neck?” asked Daniel.“Oh, I got it during one of my first voyages” replied Richard.“Does it have any meaning?” asked Daniel again.“No, I liked it and I got it” answered quickly Richard.They got up and went back to the town. They had dinner together and went to the bar where they met twelve years before.“Where you saved me” said Daniel.“Where I saved you” said Richard.They drank as they used to do in the old times. Then Richard took Daniel home. While opening the door, Daniel said:“I’ve never forgotten you, Rich.”Richard didn’t answer, he pushed Daniel inside and started to kiss him. They kissed, they got naked, and they made love. And then, they did again and again. Twice, three times. That was what Daniel had ever wished in these years. That was what he was waiting for.Lying together in his bed, Daniel said:“I hated you. Or rather I should say, I thought I hated you. But I was wrong. I was lying to myself. I’ve never stopped loving you, Rich. I can’t deny it. You might have made a mistake by coming back. I can’t repress my feelings for you anymore”.“Stop talking, Dan. I’ve never stopped loving you either. I made a choice, the best choice in that moment, and I still think it was the right one. But my feelings for you haven’t ever changed”.And in the next days they resumed their old life together, in the same places, with the same travels together. Daniel enjoyed this dive into the past and realised that this was what he wanted more than ever. And they went on this way for a month.“I know that you don’t want to stay here, Rich, I want to come with you, in another place, wherever you want to go, this time I will follow you, I’m not going to lose you anymore” said Daniel.The next day he resigned and packed up all his stuff. Richard was waiting for him outside. They went to Daniel’s father. Daniel told him he was about to leave that place forever, with Richard. His father unexpectedly didn’t shout, he quietly told him to go away and never come back. Daniel felt he had cut every tie to his old life, he was ready to start a new one, with the only man he had ever loved.It wasn’t easy at first, Richard was moving beşiktaş escort to Los Angeles, where he had already worked and easily found another job. Daniel wasn’t used to a city like that and found it difficult to get a new job. He spent the first weeks staying at home, while Richard worked almost every day, and his money began to run out. Richard found him a job in a market store, the same old job he had found many years before. Now they can resume Richard’s favourite lifestyle, hanging out in a very big city.Even if he was thirty-four years old, Richard looked very young, and his was very fascinating as ten years before. Daniel thought that he was even more fascinating than before. A lot of people, women and men, got their eyes on him every time they hung out. It would be very easy for him to hook up in any moment. Daniel was a beautiful man too, but he was less attractive than Richard, maybe because he didn’t want to, while Richard was a natural born seducer. He could seduce everyone even if he didn’t want to. Daniel knew it and tolerated this natural ability of his lover. After all, Richard seemed totally in love with him and nothing else had occurred anymore.One night, Richard was very late from work, Daniel had already come back two hours before. He was really starting to worry about when he heard the door open downstairs. Richard was finally back and alive. He didn’t come upstairs, and Daniel wondered why he was staying in the doorway.“Come here, Dan!” shouted Richard with a drunk voice.Daniel look down the stairs. Richard was here, half naked, with a guy kissing him.“Hey, Dan, see what I’ve brought you, we will have a great fun tonight. Come on and join us.”Daniel didn’t say anything, he went down and pushed them out of the door. He locked the door from inside and went upstairs. He lay down into the bed and started to weep. He was expecting to hear Richard try to kick down the door. But this didn’t happen. He found no sign of him when he went to work the day after. When he came back home at night, he found Richard sitting in front of the door. He went towards him, opened the door and told him sharply:“Get in. Now!”Richard walked in, then he fell to his knees and began to cry:“It’s all my fault, I didn’t mean to hurt you again. I lost control over myself…”“Shut the fuck up, Rich. I don’t want to hear another word. These are the same excuses you told me the last times. I’m sick of these stupid excuses” shouted Daniel.“I swear I didn’t mean to…” replied Richard.“Say no more, Rich, you are the one who I love, I can’t even imagine now to be without you. I don’t want your stupid justifications. I want you, only you” interrupted him Daniel.“I want the same too, I can’t be without you a minute more, please, forgive me, I swear I’ll never do it again” said Richard.“Don’t swear if you know you are not able to keep your promises. I don’t want your promises, I need facts not words” replied beylikdüzü escort Daniel.“What do you mean?” asked Richard.“I mean that I don’t want to lock you into this house as in a prison, but if we want to live together, we must live together outside too” answered Daniel.Richard was overjoyed to hear that, and they reconciled immediately. They kept on living as they used to do.Daniel didn’t come back to his hometown, until he found out that his father was dying. Cancer, he was told. He rushed back to his town, with Richard. He asked Richard to stay with his parents, while he was visiting his father at the hospital. He came to his deathbed. His father didn’t say a word, he couldn’t speak. His father’s eyes showed no hatred, nor anger. He cried and made Daniel a sign to go away. Daniel left in tears.Daniel’s father died two days after. He went to the bar, to the same bar. He started to drink. After a while, Richard walked in and got closer to him. He started to talk but Daniel didn’t listen to him. Suddenly Daniel got up and ran away. He vanished. Richard searched for him everywhere, in every place he knew, but he couldn’t find it. After the entire night he hadn’t found him yet. He called the police. He was in despair. He was starting to think the worst. He didn’t think that Daniel had cared so much about his father, after everything he said to him. But it wasn’t as he thought.The fear of losing Daniel forever was beyond words, for the first time in his life Richard began to feel really in despair. He searched in every place, then he came back to their secret place. He realised that they had never ventured into that wood. He began walking through the trees.He walked all day long and it had been raining since the first hours of the morning. He realised he didn’t know where he was. He had got lost but he didn’t care, he didn’t want to give up. He had almost lost his voice while calling his boyfriend’s name. He was about to lose all hopes, when he saw him, sitting against a rock, trembling with cold, with his wet clothes. He came to him. Daniel opened his eyes.“You’ve saved me, as you’ve always done” whispered Daniel.…“I’ve never got used to the sea, but it might be a nice place to stay” thought Daniel “San Francisco isn’t so bad, after all… Who am I k**ding? We’ve already been living here for six months; who knows where we might be staying in some months? That’s our life together, and I wouldn’t have it any other way”.Daniel smiled while looking at Richard. He hugged him. Richard woke up as soon as Daniel touched him.“Good morning, love” yawned Richard.“Sorry, Rich, I didn’t want to wake you up” said Daniel.“Don’t worry” replied Richard, still a little sleepy.Daniel went to get Richard a coffee. He drank it while sitting on his bed side. While Daniel was getting dressed, Richard showed up at the door of the bathroom, with the cup of coffee in his hand, and said:“I must confess I lied to you, Dan”.Daniel froze. Richard went on:“I told you my tattoo has no meaning. It isn’t true. When I left our town, I couldn’t forget you, even if I tried to. Thus, I decided to take you with me every moment and, choosing another alphabet, I got the first letter of your name.”Daniel turned to Richard. He was in tears. Tears of joy.
