[EN] 7 - Waiting (Cradled In Love)

Jari, Jani and Jaska had just left the studio that already, the bass player stared at his dear friend with an intense look, a grin on the lips. The drummer was amused to see this man so eager to know everything. As soon as they were away enough from the three other to be sure that they couldn't see them anymore, Jani approached the brown and put an arm around his shoulders.

"- Come on, tell me everything, I know you're dying for it ! He began."

Markus hold back a laugh. Obviously, he knew that the bass player wouldn't let go and the situation promised to be funny, since Jari seemed more player than ever, judging by the teasing smile he wore.

"- But what are you talking about ? There is nothing to say, is it ? Jari asked, arching an eyebrow at his sighing friend.

- What's going on with Ollie T ? Let Jani go, curious.

- Ah, that's what you were talking about ! I see, I see, vast subject isn't it ?

- Jari Salminen I forbid you to make me wait any longer !

- Well, I thought it was my role to be dying to talk to you, I didn't know you were yourself mostly dying to hear me ! The drummer amused himself.

- He marks a point. Clarified the keyboardist laughing heartily."

If he took pleasure in making the bassist so languid, Jari was thinking. What could he say to him when he himself hadn't yet understood or really digested the events of the day ? The images ran once more in his mind, between the music, the embrace, the revelations and the kiss, everything was way too surreal. It had been a long time since the young drummer hadn't felt such happiness pierce the hollow of his belly. He remembered with difficulty the day when, ten years earlier, he had felt his heart break more violently than ever, while today, after so long, after having lost all hope of seeing him one day rebuilding himself, the only person he had ever loved so deeply had taken him in his arms, sweeping away all his doubts, making his heart beat again, whose wounds were nothing but bad memories. He didn't have the habit of expressing all his feelings, and preferred to joke, smile and listen to others. Also, opening for the first time to his friends the same day had been difficult for him, yet without it, he wouldn't have been able to find the warm smile of the blond musician who he had missed so much. Lost in his thoughts, he had almost forgotten the bass player who didn't let go of the look while the keyboardist was shaking his head, rolling his eyes while smiling.

"- Well, said the drummer, laughing, in my great goodness, and since your life seems to depend on it, I consent to tell two words to your insistence ! Everything is fine, everything is better. We ended up, finally. It was so long, but nothing has changed. I would never have thought that all of this would be possible, yet I know that now I will not lose him anymore. Basically, I think we had never really lost, we took over where our destiny had separated us, as if these last ten years didn't count. The only moment I realized the endlessness of this last decade is when I saw him smile at me. That smile... I missed it so much, it made me so happy. Jari described, eyes sparkling.

- I think his smile has the same reasons as yours. He was waiting for one thing only to find you. For ten years, I have not counted the times I heard him saying your name, even without paying attention. He missed you, you know ? And finding you is what could have make him happiest. No matter the distance you have imposed yourself, in your minds and in your hearts, you have always remained so close to each other. Expressed Markus in a soft and soothing tone."

Jari smiled. His friend was right. They could never really have separated, they were too much connected, too important to each other. He heard Jani sigh while smiling again.
