Eternity [Poets Of The Fall] Français/English

[EN] 10 - Complicity (You're Still Here)

On the road, that lasted only fifteen minutes, Olli was very secret and evasive about their destination, having fun to see the young man look for the slightest clue to satisfy his curiosity. Jari had tried several methods, but none had worked. Neither the tender looks, nor the watery eyes reached the blond, any more than the repeated questions he gave him. But to be quite honest, if he had really wanted it, he would have found a way and would have known. Only the prospect of letting go himself to Olli, ignoring everything while following him to the end of the world if he had to, pleased the drummer more than anything. Of course, the guitarist was happy to see his beloved smiling, and especially considering that he was the cause of this happiness. However, a slight anxiety weighed on his stomach. Would the brown like the surprise ? But the musician quickly dismissed this idea from his mind. It wasn't exactly the first time he and Jari had gone to such a place, and even though this time their relationship was different, it didn't change the surprise itself. He knew that the brown loved this kind of places and moments, and enjoyed imagining that he would like it all the more since they would spend it together. The drummer had tried a few looks at the guitarist. They were finally together, and if this element, little by little, entered his mind, it still seemed surreal and perfect. He detailed him gently, taking the time to contemplate every part of his skin, his profile, from his beautiful blond hair to his fine hands on the wheel, through his electric and so soft blue eyes, his jaw marked that he loved so much. Also, he didn't see the time pass, and was almost surprised when Olli parked his car on a parking lot, located not far from one of the many lakes of Finland next to Helsinki.

The blond turned off the car, gave a grin to the youngest and got out, slamming the door softly but firmly. Jari took a few seconds to reactand join the guitarist. This one made him sign to follow him and the brown didn't wait long to walk next to his lover towards the expanse of clear and calm water on which was reflected as on a mirror the declining sun of this beginning November.

" - A lake ? This is where you take me ?

- Apparently yes.

- I understood, you hoped to see me bath, wet t-shirt, isn't it ? Joked Jari.

- I hadn't thought about it, but it's a tempting idea. Olli amused, glancing at the brown.

- Still you'd have to get into the water before I throw you in.

- You too want to see me soaked clothes stuck to the body ?

- Why not ? It would be interesting, no ?"

The two men laughed together for a moment. Their complicity hadn't dulled with time, and even their heavy jokes of innuendo had returned to them. Only today, they grasped all the ambiguity, without it scares or repels them.

"- I know you can't resist a boat trip, far from the world, in the middle of the water, at dusk. So I thought a little trip with me tonight, here on the lake, enjoying a good meal would make you happy. Timidly said the blond.

- Olli... The brown man searched and caught the look of his lover. Nothing could make me happier, you always have the gift of surprising me in the most perfect possible ways. Thank you."

The guitarist saw the bright gleam in the drummer's eyes. He was happy and moved, and Olli, strangely, felt helpless facing that smile full of authenticity. It had been so long since he had been troubled by so many feelings of love and happiness. Jari's heart and mind were mingled with sweeter feelings than others. The blond's romanticism had almost surprised him. In the past, he had already had the chance to enjoy certain acts that didn't deceive, but then he confessed nothing to himself. Today, the guitarist had just targeted, and the brown felt filled. He wasn't used to be very expressive of his feelings, even less physically, reserved and not so tactile, and evenless in public, yet he couldn't resist the urge to intertwine his fingers with those of Olli who shivered at this contact. A pleasant, diffuse heat rolled up the arms of the two men who were smiling asthey walked, hand in hand.
