Fix you

Cap. 26: Trying to love you

If Brett had to admit something to himself was the fact that he really had a good time at Eddy's siblings reunion. And he got to see a side of Eddy that he'd never seen before. If he had to guess he would have said that Eddy had cut all ties with his family but he was pleasantly surprized when he discovered that the man had such a beautiful relationship with his brothers and sisters.

But the final question was always there to wait for him: could he love Eddy? It didn't have to be that day, but one day in the future will he be able to love Eddy like Eddy loved him?

He definitely felt like Eddy had past the strictly sexual partner phase, and he was stably into the important people one, and maybe, just maybe, he was slowly moving toward the lover one?

Brett really wanted to believe that if he tried hard enough, he will be able one day to eventually love Eddy. Deeply inside him, he was convinced of this.

And how could he not? He and Eddy were basically molded on each other, they were the perfect match. Eddy was also the perfect partner, not just for him, but in general he was a really nice person that was able to cherish the person right beside him.

He just didn't want to give his answer to Eddy too soon. He didn't want to ruin things. he wanted Eddy to fully step into the lover zone while remaining one really important person in his life, before doing anything.

As he stirred his blow of cereal that decided to wrestle in his stomach, he received a phone call.

Paul: "Good morning Brett, I received yesterday your documents, and yeah, I think we are ready for you to come back"

The crisp voice cut its way through the air till his ears bringing him back from his space out with additional nausea.

Brett: "Oh cool! When will be the first concert then?"

Paul: "Nice to see that you're so enthusiastic! I think by the end of next month. We were able to schedule you a concert here in Brisbane for your comeback. You will have two nights to do here and then two weeks later you'll have a concert in Italy that will start your European tour. If you have a heat scheduled for that period, please let us know so that we can schedule the dates accordingly"

It was all so new for him. Never in the years before he would have been treated with such care from the agency.

Brett: "I'll make sure to let you know. In the meantime, I'm sure that I won't have one for the end of next month and in general I think I'll be much more regular from now on since I'm under heat control, so the next one should be on the change of season"

Paul: "Good, I'll wait for your confirmation then. In the meantime, do I have to book some tickets for your coming back show?"

Brett was about to say yes out loud when he realized that the first person he thought about, was indeed Eddy.

Brett: "Hem...yeah, can I book four?"

Paul: "Sure, may I have the names?"

Brett: "Sure, hem Cecilia Yang, Thomas Yang, Frank Yang and...Eddy Chen"

There was a short moment of silence before Paul answered. It was that brief moment that Brett felt like he had said something wrong, but at the same time also right

Paul: "Perfect, I'll send you the tickets asap"

Brett: "I'll wait for them then, what am I gonna play?"

Paul: "The symphony orchestra requested for Sibelius"

Brett: "Ok then Sibelius and some Bach encores"

Paul: "Perfect, good luck with your practice"

Brett: "Thank you have a good day!"

Paul: "Have a good day!"
