over the rainbow

David

somewhere over the rainbow, way up high

The head surgeon stood in front of Simon and I, waiting to tell is the news about how Eric's surgery was going. Simon and I looked up and he told us that it was about a third of the way completed as they had started on Eric's right leg above the knee around fifteen minutes ago. The surgeon also said that Eric was going to live because of the amputations that they surgery team were performing on him.

there's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby

Simon's eyes started to well up with tears after the surgeon went back into the operating room where Eric was. He was crying again but this time it was out of happiness. He looked at me and put his head against my shoulder as he cried. Simon was overjoyed about his son's surgery going well so far. He brought his head back up from my shoulder and wiped his tears away as they kept going down from his eyes.

somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
and the dreams that you dare to dream

Simon leaned closer to me, trying to close the distance between us. He kissed my lips gently and I kissed him back when Simon had closed the distance. We were kissing finally and I wasn't drunk out of my mind. It was amazing to kiss Simon's lips, just as I had imagined it would be if I kissed him and he kissed back. He stopped our kiss so we could both breathe and then I kissed him just as gently as he had kissed me. Simon's eyes were shining brightly as we kissed because he was clearly enjoying kissing me as much as I was kissing him.

really do come true

I stopped our kiss, pulling away from Simon to prevent us from snogging before we went on a date for the first time that was just us together. I looked at him in surprise as we just had our first kiss without being drunk like when we had truly kissed three days ago, me completely drunk out of my mind. Simon blushed and dropped his gaze from me to his lap, starting to chuckle a bit. He had just realized we had our first non-drunken kiss in an operating theatre waiting room.

someday I'll wish upon a star

I asked him what he was laughing at and he told me. He explained again how he hadn't been drunk at all the first time we had snogged and we had just had our first kiss with me sober in a hospital waiting room while Eric was in surgery. It was almost morbid that we had our first kiss while Simon's son was in surgery having his arms removed just past the elbow on one arm and below the elbow on the other and having both of his legs past the knees amputated because of meningitis.

and wake up where the clouds are far behind me

I wasn't shocked that Simon had been sober when we had shagged in my dressing room because he had confessed after our one night stand that he hadn't been drunk during it and that was why he was shagging me instead of some busty brunette that was single at the after party for BGT. I told Simon that it was fine he had been sober because he had already told me and next time we shagged, he was the one who had to be drunk out of his mind to make it even. He laughed at that sentence and agreed to it that when we went on our first date, he was going to get rip-roaring drunk and be on top this time instead of me like time we had been that intimate.

where troubles melt like lemon drops,
way above the chimney tops

I laughed at the fact Simon agreed he had to be the drunk one next time we shagged and there was most definitely going to be a next time we shagged. Simon then added that we would have to buy lubrication because when I had shagged him three days ago, that had hurt from not using any sort of lubrication to make it easier on him and me. Simon didn't know that I loved being shagged by men and it typically made me climax earlier than if I was on top doing the thrusting but I didn't tell him. He was going to figure that out after our first date.

that's where you'll find me

The one person I had liked shagging the most was Simon, not even when I had a wife because I didn't like making love to her that much. Yes, Lara had been sexy but I had my eyes on someone else, Simon, and Lara knew that so she refused to make love with me and she would frequently cheat on me so she could get some pleasure. But yet we had a son together named, Alfred, the result of our wedding night and I barely got to see him because Lara had moved out of London and into a different town.

somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly

I loved Alfred and I wished that he lived with me instead of a mother who was constantly out of the house having one night stands and jetting out of the country to go model. He would have a stable life that way but Lara didn't trust me with him for more than two weeks at a time every two months. I only saw my son for a total of three months out of the year and he loved me dearly. He would flip if I told him that I had a boyfriend and it was his 'uncle' Simon Cowell.

birds fly over the rainbow
why then, oh why can't I?

Simon and I still had to tell his son, Eric, why I was constantly here now as I was his father's boyfriend. I was already out a pansexual to the public and my family but Simon wasn't out as bisexual to anyone but me. I looked at Simon and he was flipping through a magazine, not even trying to read it because he was so worried about Eric.

I wanted Eric to be healthy as much as Simon did because I cared for the child. He reminded me so much of my own son but I was always naturally like a father so Simon had probably dismissed the fact that I treated Eric like a son because of how fatherly I was towards people that were younger than me. Simon put down the magazine, giving up on trying to read it.

why then, oh why can't I?

He asked me if I thought Eric was going to be upset when he woke up and saw the missing limbs on his body. I replied yes that he would be upset for a bit because he couldn't suck his thumb like he did when he slept but he would probably get over it quickly. Simon laughed at my comment about Eric missing his thumb, and it made me smile to see him laugh again today when he needed it most.

if happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
why, oh why can't I?

<>we needed a happy chapter so here it is! David and Simon have finally kissed while David wasn't drunk! That's a milestone for them in their relationship now 😂

<>what do you think is going to change about Simon's life now that Eric has a disability? How do you think he is going to react to it and what did you love about this chapter? Bye until the next chapter!
