Eternity [Poets Of The Fall] Français/English

[EN] 15 - Love (All The Way / 4U)

It was already night when they arrived in India. The trip had been long and uncomfortable and they had quickly made their way to the hotel in several taxis, eager to finally rest. Jari and Olli hadn't left each other, one against the other in the car, because they wanted to enjoy the most these last minutes of sweetness before going in their respective rooms. Their friends had been careful not to ask questions, but the two lovers hadn't escaped a few looks and smiles, which surprisingly reassured them. When they got up, they were anxious, a fear of being discovered, of not knowing how to combine their love with the world and with others, of receiving some negative reactions. But thanks to their friends, they felt better, they felt good, finally in their place, finally united. Certainly everything was new to them, yet nothing had seemed more natural to them. If they still had to take the time to tame it a little, it seemed to them that their relationship had always been established, both fragile and deeply solid. They were grateful to the other musicians for not making a big deal of their proximity, for being mainly between them on this day. Indeed, they were way too happy to see them loving each other like this. Finally the two men had found the rest and balance they had been looking for for ten years, so that they had given up hope. In a single day, everything had returned to them, and their happiness couldn't have done anything but soften their loved ones.

It didn't take long before the taxis stopped in front of the hotel that the group had reserved and all the musicians and their team entered, pressed by a certain tiredness, aware of the grueling day that was coming the next day. Marko Häkkinen, following them in India for this tour, came towards the reception while the others left their luggage in the hall of the building, not without letting out a few yawns. Jari approached a bit his lover, without taking his eyes off him, and the guitarist offered him a broad smile. Jaska looked particularly exhausted and glanced impatiently at the hotel reception, while Marko chatted with Markus. Jani never seemed to get tired of taking photos, here about a woman sitting alone on one of the armchairs, busy reading a book. The man soon came back from reception, sighing.

"- Is something wrong ? Asked Markus in front of his friend's face.

- Imagine that they don't have twelve but six rooms reserved for us, and that they can't give us more this evening since they are full.

- How could they have been wrong on a reservation ?

- I don't know, but unless we find another hotel with enough free rooms in an unknown country, we're going to have to sleep in groups for the moment."

All were in misunderstanding. They didn't know the reason for this error, but they discussed for a short time only to agree that their exhaustion didn't allow them to seek solitude for this night at all costs. It was better for them to accept and stay there, at least today. Hopefully they could find another hotel the next day to rest after the concert. And come to think of it, it was not so terrible for them to sleep with others, they were used to it on the bus that they took for certain stages of their tours. Olli put tender pressure on Jari's hand which gave him a smile. Again this night, they would sleep in each other's arms, believing that fate was only trying to unite them. They rejoiced beyond the possible but still retained their enthusiasm in front of their friends. They didn't need confirmation to understand the desire of the two men to spend the night together. Jani smiled and took the arm of the keyboardist who seemed surprised.

"- Come on, you are coming with me ! We can both talk about a photo ! Amused the bass player.
- Oh, fine then, I follow you. Markus replied with a smile, his cheeks slightly red.

- In my great kindness, I agree to let you come with me. Launched Olli to his lover.

- Should I be flattered ?"
