The Art of Dance (Caira and Garrett)

[praiseofblood]

Garret was the last person that would hurt him. Caira knew that. He just...his head didn't agree with his heart on this one. But he did miss him.

[clementine]

Only just a little dizzy from drinking, Garrett finally went upstairs to bed. He wondered if he should call his father or if he should just see how things worked out. He wasn't sure if he was wanting an earful from Gerard.

[praiseofblood]

Caira sat awake in bed, hugging his pillow. It was a while before he stood and slipped on a loose sweater over his bare chest before heading out of his apartment and to Garrett's.

[clementine]

Garrett was merely laying awake in bed, staring at the ceiling and contemplating the universe. He wasn't sure what he was going to say to Caira when he saw him. Would he tell the male to go after his real love or do something totally different?

[praiseofblood]

Caira hesitated for about five whole minutes before he knocked on the door to Garrett's apartment.

[clementine]

Of course Garrett went to the door, though slouched across the carpet the entire way. He was surprised to see Caira on the other side of his front door and reared back slightly. "Caira? What're you doing here?"

[praiseofblood]

Caira looked at the male. "I couldn't sleep. I'm guessing neither could you?"

[clementine]

Garrett flushed and shook his head. "But why are you here? I thought..." He gave a helpless, miserable shrug before he stood back to let Caira into his home.

[praiseofblood]

Caira stepped forwards into the room. "I...Feara, my brother...he came to my shop today. I found him--or he found me. He acted like everything should be the same as it was seven years ago but it's not."

[clementine]

"Wha--your brother?" Garrett asked before his legs gave out on him and he toppled onto the couch. "Your brother," he repeated before looking at his mate. "Not a lover?"

[praiseofblood]

Caira blinked and frowned. "A lover? Where did you get that from?"

[clementine]

"The window, at the cafe. I saw you," Garrett pieced together. "He kissed you and you were hugging and crying all over him. I thought it was because you were telling him I marked you."

[praiseofblood]

Caira blinked, shaking his head. "No. He's my twin, all I had in the world for my whole life, until he disappeared."

[clementine]

Garrett looked to Caira, patting the couch cushion, urging the bearer to come sit. "Caira, please. Won't you tell me what happened?"

[praiseofblood]

Caira blinked. "With who? Feara? I woke up one morning to find him gone, with our ship, and his mate, with no notice or warning or anything. Not even a goodbye. "
