Brighter than a shooting star
(Dan)
Today I met this guy. He introduced himself "Chris, I'm taken, gay and I can read minds if I make eye contact." So my automatic reaction was to introduce myself "Dan, Taken, bi, Teleportation." But then it reminded me of how I introduced myself to Phil. I just told him my power and then my name. I should be thinking about Cat. How did we meet and how are we dating? I can't remember. That's not good. I think I may breakup with her. I think she knows that because she's always leaving  "Who you thinkin' of mate?" Chris asks me. "My new girlfriend Cat." He sighs "why were you looking upset then" and I wonder about how he knew I looked upset. Thank god I wasn't giving eye contact. "I thought of Phil first." We hugged for a long time. I like how Chris wasn't insensitive and ask who Phil is he just did the sweet thing and helped me feel better. "Phil is my friend. But I think I like him. More than a friend." Chris nods. "Chris!" I look over and there's Phil next to some stranger. He's pretty far so I touch Chris' hand and count to ten. "I'm Dan, Chris' friend" I introduce myself. "I'm Pj, Chris' boyfriend." and then PJ kisses Chris and his lips glow I turn away then when I look back its gone. "I can make anything light up with a touch." Pj explains. "I don't know if you could tell but I can teleport." I say back. Then Chris asks "Babe who's your new friend?" "I'm Phil, Dan's friend" and Chris looks at me and I nod basically signaling that this is the Phil I like.
