Blue Neighborhood Genix (Gene x Zenix)

Fools

I am tired, of this place
I hope people change
I need time to replace what I gave away.
And my hopes, they are high, I must keep them small.

Though I try to resist,
I still want it all.

"Are you a fag? Fag be runnin' round' with boys?"

"No!"

Gene's father slammed the boy down on the bed, as Gene tried to struggle away.

His father slapped him hard in the face, "If he's back here one for time,"

"I'll kill both of you."

I see quiet nights poured over us and tanqueray.

But everything is shattering,

And it's my mistake.

Gene didn't even try to call Zenix to explain things, it was to much of a risk. Not just for Gene, but for Zenix.

The threats his dad gave terrified him, and he thought to be safe, he'd give his father what he wants."

"Only fools do what I do,"

"Only fools."

Zenix, however, didn't understand what the hell was hapening. Seemingly, he pretty much lost contact with Gene.

After everything they've been through.

When Zenix couldn't take it anymore, he decided to take the small walk over to Gene's house, only to find said boy outside with his father, working on painting a row boat.

Zenix nodded for Gene to come over, which he obliged.

"Where've you been." Zenix asked immediately,
"Busy." Gene replied with pain in his voice.

Don't give a fuck,

Not giving up.

I still want it all.

"You're lying."

"No I'm not!"

"Gene, I've known you since we were five, I know when you're lying. Just tell me." Zenix argued, reaching out to place his hands on Gene's chest.

"No. Y-you need to leave. Just go." Gene replied sternly, but still with evident pain.

Zenix notices the bruise on Gene's right eye, "G-Gene, what happened?"

Gene pushed Zenix away, "Leave!"

And with tears brimming Zenix's eyes, he left, without another word.

I see swimming pools,
And living rooms,
And aeroplanes.

I see a little house,
On a hill,
And children's names.

I see quiet nights,
Poured over us,
And tanqueray.

But everythingis shattering!

And it's my mistake.

A month of silence has passed, lost words, and faded memories clouded both of their minds.

Until one fateful day, Zenix walked along the pavement, hands in the pockets of his sweater, head down.

He didn't look up until he saw to pairs of feet striding in the opposite direction.

But part of him wished he hadn't risen his eyes.

Because he was met with the sight of Gene, but not just Gene, Gene and Sasha, together, holding hands.

His gaze burned into them until they passed, not even glancing at Zenix.

And that is when Zenix decided he had enough.

Only fools fall for you!

Only fools!

Only fools do what I do!

Only fools...

Only fools fall for you!

Only fools...

Only fools do what I do

Only fools..

He ran.

He ran back home and up to the balcony.

Wanting nothing more than to end it all.

So that's precisely what he did.

But the world had other plans before he left this world forever.

~~Only Fools Fall~~

I know that it's the father that dies, but I like this theory better and it fits more with my story.
