Description
A week passed and Erik still hadn't quit his job. In fact, he'd been so much more excited to go to work rather than stay at home. Curtis was slightly aggravated by this, but continued to try to force himself to get over his paranoia. He let Erik for what seemed like hours on end about his co-workers, about Jace…and never said a word. He simply forced himself to deal with it…after all…he loved Erik…didn't he?
~
After work that night, Erik, Lewie, John and Jace decided to go out for a bit. It was harmless. It was a nice way to relax after such a long day at work. The four of them walked in. John settled himself into the arcade, happy to challenge the Galaga machine*. Lewie and Jace grabbed a table, sat their stuff down and disappeared into the crowd. Erik pulled up a chair to the bar and ordered himself a drink. He said there in solicitude.

Everybody's looking for love, oh…

He watched Jace from afar. She was dancing out by John, who had decided to leave the arcade for a little while. She looked happy, excited, carefree even.
"They dated for a short time you know?" Lewie said. Taking a seat next to Erik.
"What?" He asked confused.
"Yeah. John and Jace. They dated. It seemed like it was a while too…Like a couple years maybe…I don't really know…but they still dated. They were very serious too" Lewie explained.

Ain't that the reason your at this club?…

"How so?" Erik asked.
"He wanted to marry her. He bought the ring and everything" Lewie told him.
"What happened then?" he asked, staring at Jace. She seemed genuinely happy with John.
"She said no. Couldn't handle being in that kind of relationship with him…said she was saving herself for somebody else it seemed like…said something about a Doctor* or something like that. I wasn't there for the conversation, I moreso…heard it through the grapevine" Lewie said.
"Oh" Erik. He watched as John left the dance floor and headed toward the arcade yet again.
"Jace doesn't really like to talk about it much, and they both act like nothing happened. Well, Jace definitely does anyway. Which is funny…I know they met…like high school or something like that, and were really good friends and all that and they'd dated a bit…but then she left for a bit and it was like she'd never met him in her whole life…he really did care about her…" Lewie blathered on.
"Yeah?" Erik asked.
"He made her fall in love with him all over again. He was very serious about her, but it didn't work out and that was the end of it. Now they're just friends. They joke with each other a lot and go places but other wise that's it"
"I see" Erik said, focusing all his attention on Jace.

You ain't gonna find it dancing with him, no. Got a better solution for you girl…

Erik took a gulp of his drink and walked away from Lewie. He went over to Jace and stood by her.
"Hey party animal" Jace joked as she danced by him. He smiled slightly.
"Hey" he said quietly.
"What's wrong?" Jace stopped dancing. Erik shook his head, and without a second thought, cupped Jace's face in his hands and kissed her.

Just leave with me now, say the word and we'll go. I'll be your teacher, I'll show you the ropes. You'll see a side of love you've never know…I can see it going down…

"Please don't hate me…." Erik whispered to her as he reeled back from his kiss. His mistake.
"Why.." Jace started quietly. Erik tried to prepare himself for the worst. "Would I hate you…?" She asked. Erik grabbed her hand and they walked out toward the car.
"Let's go" Erik said and they drove off. To Jace's apartment complex, up the stairs, to her door, into her bedroom. On her bed.

Together.
They kissed.
They held each other close.
It was a fantastic experience between the two of them, both with each other, both sharing a close, deep love… a closeness that could not be separated so easily…

In my head. I see you all over me in my head. You fulfill my fantasy in my head. You'll be screaming…in my head, in my head, in my head…

Erik woke up.
He was laying in next to Curtis, who was sleeping soundly at the far end of the bed. He sat himself upright and looked at the clock. It was 3 AM yet again. He looked around the room and yawned. He didn't feel like getting up. He didn't really feel like doing anything. So he scooted closer to Curtis and nudged him gently.
"Hmmmph?" Curtis mumbled drowsily.
"Curtis?" Erik asked quietly. Curtis made a sound. "Will you hold me please? I had a dream…" Erik explained in a shaky voice.
"Mmmhmm…'ome her…e" Curtis muttered in a groggy, almost completely asleep tone. Erik scooted closer to Curtis and lifted his left arm around him. Then he nestled himself as close to Curtis as he could get. He brought the blankets up around himself and wrapped his arms around Curtis. Soon he found himself sinking back into sleep.
~
It was the next morning. Erik woke up first. Things seemed…quiet. It was to be expected on a early Sunday morning. He climbed out of bed as slowly as he could so as not to disturb Curtis and went to the kitchen. He decided to make breakfast for a change, since Curtis was usually the one that had to drag him out of bed and force him to eat. It didn't take long for Curtis to wake up to the smell of bacon sizzling on the stove. His eyes fluttered open and he crawled out of bed. He stumped into the kitchen and sat at the table.
"You're making breakfast?" Curtis asked.
"Yeah. You got a problem with that?" Erik asked in a smart tone as he poured Curtis a cup of coffee.
"No" Curtis said "I'm just…." he paused for a moment "Pleasantly surprised. That's all" he finished and smiled at Erik
"Good. I felt like doing something nice for once" Erik admitted. "You're always getting up and making be breakfast, I thought it was time I returned the favor" he went on. Curtis sat patiently as Erik made food. It was a large, elegant breakfast. Scrambled eggs, apple wood smoked bacon, Chocolate chip pancakes, golden hash browns, the works. Curtis dug in happily as Erik sat by and ate his own food. It was a few minutes later before Curtis piped up.
"Are…you…working today?" Curtis asked, mouth half full of food.
"Nope. I have the next two days off" Erik said. Curtis shook his head and went back to his breakfast. Erik sat at his spot lost in thought. He didn't hit reality again until Curtis coughed.
"What?" Erik asked as he shook himself out of his thoughts.
"I didn't say anything. I just coughed. Whatcha thinking about?" Curtis asked.
"Let's go out… Tonight. Just you and me" Erik stated.
"Um…Okay?" Curtis said taken aback. "What'd you have in mind?" he questioned.
"A club, a bar, anything." Erik affirmed. "I want to go out" Erik was blunt.
"Well alright!" Curtis exclaimed happily. Erik was acting different today, happier. Peppier. Somehow changed. Curtis wasn't sure what to think. Together they looked until they found a place. They planned. And as soon as it got dark, they went out.
~
Some dudes know all the right things to say…

"So…Can I ask a question?" Curtis asked as they got out of the car and walked into the club.
"Sure" Erik said.
"Why did you want to go out tonight? I'm not complaining or anything, I'm just curious. It was really…well.. Out of nowhere" Curtis said.
"No reason. I just wanted to do something together. That's all. We should be able to just go out without there being a reason." Erik responded.
"Oh. Okay" Curtis said flatly. They walked in and went to the counter. "Now what?" Curtis asked.
"Get a drink. I'm buying. In fact, get whatever you'd like. I'm treating you for a change" Erik said with a smile.
"Alright. If you insist" Curtis smiled back and ordered a drink.
"I do insist. Just get something" Erik smiled.

When it comes down to it, it's just a game.

A few minutes later, Curtis got his drink. Erik got his own drink as well. Erik took a gulp of his drink.
"Let's go dance" Erik suggested.
"Really?" Curtis asked, taken aback.
"Yeah. Sure, why the hell not?" Erik said with a smirk. Curtis shook his head in disbelief
"Alright! I'll try anything once" Curtis exclaimed. Erik took Curtis's hand and drug him out onto the floor.

Instead of talking let me demonstrate…

Curtis danced under the lights and Erik tried to catch the swing. The music had deep bass. He was never much good at dancing. Still, he wanted to show Curtis a good time, and this seemed like the kind of thing he'd be into. The song ended and Curtis stopped dancing.
"I'm going to go get another drink, okay?" Curtis said and he left the dance floor. Erik also stopped.
"Okay, See you in the arcade" Erik said, then paused. He grabbed Curtis by the sleeve of his shirt "Hey. Wait a second. Does this seem…familiar to you?" he asked. Curtis thought for a second. He shook his head.
"Um…No. It doesn't. you feeling alright?" Curtis asked with a smirk. Erik shook his head.
"Yeah…I'm fine. Must be déjà vu" Erik said, changing his demeanor. "I'm going to hit the arcade for a few, okay? I'll be back by the next song" Erik stated.
"Promise?" Curtis asked.
"I promise" Erik assured. They went their separate ways.
Erik sat down. This was all starting to feel very familiar. Like it'd happened before. Curtis had his drink and walked back onto the dance floor. He watched Curtis dance in awe. He'd never truly noticed how slender Curtis really was. How he moved so smoothly. That was what he loved about Curtis. Aside from the fact that Curtis helped him when he had nothing, he loved that he kept learning new things about Curtis everyday. Even when he wasn't trying to.

Just leave with me now, say the word and we'll go. I'll be your teacher I'll show you the ropes…

Things, Erik would admit, had been tough recently. Curtis seemed to be pulling father away from him. Did Curtis realize he'd make a mistake with him? Was Curtis finally realizing that he was no good? Was Curtis trying to find a way to get rid of him? Erik couldn't tell anymore. He'd only noticed Curtis's strange behavior since he started working. Did him having a job have something to do with Curtis's odd actions?

You'll see a side of love you've never known. I can see it going down…

Curtis stopped dancing and sat down next to Erik.
"You feeling okay?" He asked. Erik turned toward him
"Oh. Yeah. I'm fine" Erik said.
"What's up?" Curtis asked.
"Oh…nothing" Erik lied.
"Something on your mind?" Curtis asked.
"Yes and no" Erik stated.
"Oh?" Curtis asked.
"Yeah" Erik admitted. Why was Curtis so curious all of a sudden? Erik didn't bother to find out. They sat in silence for a few minutes. "You still love me right?" He blurted out.
"What?" Curtis was taken aback.
"You are still in love with me, aren't you?…" Erik trailed off for a second. "I mean…things have just felt weird between us and I still love you and everything. I just hope that you don't want to get rid of me…that's all…" Erik admitted. Curtis looked at Erik. He took his right hand in his and placed the other on Erik's cheek.
"Oh Erik. Of course I still love you. But you've changed since we first met and I don't like it" Curtis admitted.
"I have?" Erik asked. Curtis paused for a moment as he started to tear up.
"Please Erik…" Curtis choked on his words. "Don't leave me for Jace…I know you like her…but…please…" Curtis fought to talk. "I love you" he confessed. Erik was lost for words.
"I….Curtis… I love you too" He brought Curtis into a tight embrace. "I don't know why you think I'd leave you for Jace…" Erik said.
"I just…it's complicated" Curtis said as he unlocked himself from Erik's hug. "But the bottom line is I love you…so let's just go, okay?" Curtis asked. Erik sat quietly for a while as he tried to think.
"Can we both just agree we feel the same way for each other? I'm tired of jumping through hoops to show our love" Erik said a little irritated. Before Erik could realize what was happening, Curtis was kissing him passionately.
"Let's go…Please?" Curtis whispered. Erik nodded
"Let's go home" Erik whispered. And they left hand in hand.

In my head. I see you all over me in my head. You fulfill my fantasy in my head. You'll be screaming… In my head, in my head, in my head…

Erik bolted upright. He was in bed. It was still dark he looked around. Curtis was sleeping peacefully next to him.
"Oh for fuck's sake!" He cursed quietly so as not to disturb Curtis. He threw off the covers and climbed out of bed. He stormed out of the room.
~
The next morning he walked into work. Paul, Jace and Lewie were already there. John walked in shortly after Erik arrived. Jace saw him.
"Hey!" She called out to him. "Stay out of my dreams!" She exclaimed as he walked in.
"Um…Excuse me?" Erik asked in a confused tone.
"I had a dream last night and you were in in. Stay out of my dreams" She repeated.
"Um…Okay then" Erik said. He thought for a second. "Hey wait a second. If anybody should be complaining, it should be me! You invaded my sleep!" Erik exclaimed.
"Oh?" Jace said with a smirk.
"Yeah!" he smiled back, calming down as he realized Jace was joking with him. Jace sat down and Erik joined her.
"Alright, so listen to this. You, me, John, and Lewie went out to after work one night and you and Lewie chatted for a while. Then me and Lewie danced a bit. I remember John running off to the arcade-"
"Oh? How typical of me. Let me guess. I was playing-" John started.
"Galaga. Of course" Jace laughed.
"Obviously" John replied.
"Anyway" Jace went on "After a while, you tried to make a move on me!" She exclaimed to Erik. "We must have been smashed or something because we ended up going home together" Jace laughed. Erik put on a fake smile.
"Yeah…Probably drunk…" He said quietly.
"So what was your dream about?" Jace asked in curiosity. Erik tried to think up something else to say. He didn't want Jace to know he'd dreamt the exact same thing.
"Uh…I don't remember" he lied.
"Bullshit" Jace exclaimed.
"No! I uh…really… I tend to forget them easily" Erik tried to cover.
"Ah, just leave him alone, will ya?" Lewie jumped in the conversation. "Let's just get this shit done, no? I've got a hot date with a movie theater floor" She explained.
"The floor called. It's dumping you" John joked as he passed by them.
"Bug off. You're just jealous because you don't get to see "The Hobbit" with me" Lewie said as she walked out the door. John flicked up both middle fingers at her as she walked out the door. Everybody laughed as they went to work
