The Day Our Parallel Lives Crossed

Disclaimer:  This is not a true story...as much as
I wished it was and I do not own the boys in any
way...as much as I wished I did.

Dedications:  To Darren for being the sweetheart
that you are and for obviously caring very deeply about Daniel.

                   "You know, sometimes I just miss him. Sometimes I
                    miss him on stage, you know. I...ummm...we'll be
                    together...but alone and it's like we lead these
                    ...these lives which are simultaneous. It's like
                    they're parallel lives and they're going along
                    the same direction but never really meet. But...
                    ahh...that's what's special, I guess, about it"

                    Daniel turned off the television and sat back.
                    "He misses me?" he asks the empty hotel room
                    around him.
                    He hadn't really meant to watch the documentary
                    but, as he was flicking through the channels, he
                    found it being shown on the 'In-house movie'
                    channel and had been totally surprised.
                    "What kind of hotel would show this as an in-house
                    movie?" he'd asked himself, shaking his head at
                    it and thinking that it was, probably, the hotel's
                    way of advertising who their guests were for the
                    evening.
                    But all of that was in the past, now he had more
                    important things to think about...like Darren.
                    Once again he felt his heartbeat fasten as he
                    considered that maybe Darren cared for him as much
                    as he, Daniel, cared for Darren.
                    Time and again he would feel this familiar
                    sensation as Darren would sing to him on stage,
                    or when he would touch him in some way or another,
                    but most often, when he would smile at him.
                    When Darren smiled at him, he felt as though he
                    was the most important person in Darren's life.
                    But time and again he'd have his feelings
                    shattered as he watched Darren go through one girl
                    after the other.
                    Why did he keep letting himself get hurt like
                    this?
                    "Because you love him, Daniel" he answered himself
                    out loud and cringed at the pain in his voice.
                    He'd known this from the second that Darren
                    Stanley Hayes had walked into his life. The day
                    that both of their lives turned around.
                    It had been the voice he'd first fallen in love
                    with but as he began to spend time with Darren, he
                    knew it was the man that he loved.
                    His mind then wondered to the songs they'd written
                    in their 8-year friendship, finally stopping at
                    'All around me'.
                    He'd lied to so many people about that song, his
                    family, his friends...Darren. It was actually
                    Darren that had started the whole thing. When they'd
                    been working on the lyrics, Darren had just
                    assumed it was about Meg Ryan and Daniel had just
                    let the lie continue rather than expose his true
                    feelings.
                    As he continued to think about Darren, the
                    familiar ache began once again and suddenly he
                    felt something wet sliding down his cheek.
                    "Shit!" he swore as he furiously wiped at the
                    tear.
                    Why did he let Darren get to him so much?
                    Then, before he could stop himself, another tear
                    fell, then another...and another.

                    "Hey, Dan, did you just see what they were showing
                    on the in-house movie channel?" Darren asked as he
                    burst into Daniel's hotel room, not bothering
                    to knock.
                    Daniel's head shot up and the smile disappeared
                    from Darren's face.
                    "What's wrong, Danny?" he then asked as he quickly
                    hurried to the couch and sat himself down beside
                    his mate.
                    "Uhh...nothing...there's something in my eye..."
                    Daniel answered, refusing to look at Darren,
                    knowing that if he did, he'd lose what little
                    control he still had.
                    "Bullshit!" Darren replied and before he realised
                    what he was doing, he reached out with his hand
                    and wiped at one of the tears running down
                    Daniel's cheek.
                    God how he hated to see Daniel like this, but he
                    knew that if he were to comfort him the way he
                    wanted to, it might ruin their partnership and
                    even worse, their friendship.
                    If that happened, he didn't know how he'd be able
                    to go on.
                    He didn't ever want to go back to a life without
                    Daniel; he couldn't even imagine a life without
                    him.
                    And how he ached to tell Daniel this...but he
                    couldn't.
                    "What's wrong? I know there's something wrong" he
                    then prodded, taking Daniel's face in his hands
                    and turning it to face him.
                    "You know you've never been able to hide anything
                    from me" he then added, looking deep into Daniel's
                    beautiful eyes.

                    "That's what you think, Darren..." Daniel thought
                    silently as he found himself trapped in Darren's
                    gaze.
                    Then, as he continued to stare, he found himself
                    unable to form any words, or even think of any, to
                    offer as an explanation to Darren.
                    "Dammit, Darren, why did you have to come and be
                    like this?" Daniel's mind screamed as he fought
                    against the tears hat were threatening to fall
                    once more.
                    "I can't tell you..." he managed to say at last,
                    finally breaking Darren's gaze as he jumped up
                    and moved to the window.
                    "Fourteen floors...you could really do some damage
                    jumping out of this window..." Daniel thought as
                    he looked down at the ant-like people scurrying
                    around below, going about their perfect little
                    lives while he stood above them, his life and
                    heart in turmoil.
                    As he stood there, he became aware of Darren
                    slowly walking up behind him. He could sense him
                    wherever he was...he'd always been able to.
                    But what he didn't expect was Darren's arm to go
                    around his shoulder and pull him up against his
                    hard, warm body.
                    He should have fought against it but instead he
                    found himself snuggling up to that body, his own
                    arms working themselves around it as he buried his
                    face in the crook of Darren's neck.
 

                  "Daniel, you've always been able to tell me
                    everything before" Darren said as he savoured the
                    delicious sensation of Daniel in his arms.
                    How he'd dreamed of holding Daniel like this...
                    "Darren, get a grip...he's in pain!" he silently
                    scolded himself.
                    "Please, Daniel, I want to help!" he pleaded as he
                    felt a wetness against his naked throat.

                    "You are Darren, more than you ever thought you
                    could" Daniel thought as he let himself be held by
                    Darren, be comforted by his angelic voice.
                    But finally, he knew it was time to pull back from
                    Darren. He knew that if he remained like that, his
                    heart wouldn't be able to take the rejection as it
                    has so many times before.
                    "Uhh...it's just the stress of this touring and I
                    miss my family" he then told Darren as he let go
                    of him and took a step backwards, wiping at the
                    tears on his face as he does so.

                    "Liar!" Darren thought as he looked at Daniel's
                    face.
                    So many times he'd done this secretly, looked at
                    Daniel's face over the top of a magazine or out of
                    the corner of his eye and never had he seen it
                    look so beautiful as it did now.
                    He felt his heart aching as he thought that this
                    face would never really belong to him as much as
                    he wanted it to.
                    Then, without realising what he was doing, his
                    hand reached out and stroked Daniel's cheek,
                    before cupping his chin and pulling his face closer
                    to his own and before he knew it, his lips were on
                    Daniel's, tasting the saltiness of the tears that
                    had fallen over them.
                    "What are you doing, Darren?" his mind screamed at
                    him suddenly and he got a look of panic in his
                    eyes.
                    "Oh god! I'm sorry!" Darren cried as he jumped
                    back, almost knocking over a large antique lamp
                    that stood behind him.

                    Daniel stood there in shock, his hand slowly
                    moving to his mouth and running his fingertips
                    over his tingling lips.
                    "Darren...?" he whispered as his eyes sought out
                    Darren's from where he stood, trying to right the
                    lamp behind him.

                    As he struggled with the lamp, he heard his name
                    and his head shot up, finding himself staring
                    right into Daniel's eyes.
                    "I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have done that!" he
                    apologised, the words just flowing from his lips
                    without much thought.
                    "But I wanted to so badly!" his mind cried as he
                    continued to stare at Daniel, his eyes trying to
                    read Daniel's face.
                    "Daniel, say something please. Even if it's just
                    to tell me to get out, say something!" Darren
                    pleaded, his eyes still searching Daniel's face.

                    Daniel didn't answer Darren's pleas; instead he
                    stepped towards Darren and pushed his lips against
                    his, delighting against the feel of them once more.
                    Never had he ever imagined that he would be this
                    daring but Darren's soft kiss seconds earlier had
                    given him the strength he needed.
                    He let his lips rest there for a few seconds,
                    waiting to see if Darren would do anything then
                    he slowly opened his mouth and let his tongue beg
                    for admittance to Darren's.

                    Darren opened his mouth almost instantly, allowing
                    Daniel's tongue entrance and letting his own move
                    to greet it.
                    Then, with a sigh, he began to move his lips
                    harder against Daniel's and moved his hands to
                    thread his fingers through Daniel's hair, pulling
                    his face closer.

                    Daniel shivered with pleasure as he felt Darren's
                    fingers tangle themselves in his hair, drawing
                    his face closer and deepening the kiss he had
                    dreamt of for so many years.
                    Day and night he'd fantasised about Darren's lips
                    and he couldn't believe how perfect they felt
                    against his. So soft, so masculine...so sensual.
                    "I've wanted this for so long..." he whispered
                    against Darren's lips then he moved his hands to
                    pull Darren's body closer to his, so close they
                    were touching from head to foot.

                    Darren's ears barely picked up Daniel's whispered
                    words but it didn't matter because his body was
                    showing what his lips were saying.
                    Never in his life had he ever felt what he was
                    feeling right now as his tongue danced with
                    Daniel's.
                    "This is heaven...this is what love is" he thought
                    as he moved his hands and ran them down the front
                    of Daniel's shirt, letting them stop as he reached
                    the hem of it.
                    Then, in one swift movement, the shirt was on the
                    floor and Darren's hands were once more on
                    Daniel's chest, his fingers gently tracing the
                    contours of it.
                    Many a time he'd seen Daniel's naked chest and,
                    every time, his fingers had just ached to touch it,
                    to stroke it, to caress it in a way that only he
                    could.
                    Now his wish had come true and he was doing it
                    with Daniel's unspoken permission.
                   Daniel's whole body shivered as he felt Darren's
                    fingertips caress his chest, leaving a trail of
                    heat and longing wherever his hand moved.
                    As his mind focused on the trail Darren's hand
                    was making, his mind suddenly wandered to a
                    magazine interview he'd read on Daz and he found
                    his own hands making their way under Darren's
                    shirt, moving upwards to his nipples.

                    Before Daniel even touched Darren's nipples,
                    Darren could sense what he was doing and he
                    deepened the kiss, awaiting the moment of pleasure
                    he was sure he would feel.
                    They'd always been sensitive before, but now, the
                    thought of Daniel touching them was almost mind
                    blowing.
                    The intensity of such a soft touch was almost too
                    much for Darren as he groaned against Daniel's
                    hungry lips, his loins begin to stir, already
                    growing painful.

                    Daniel revelled in the control he had suddenly
                    gained over Darren by such a simple caress as he
                    moved his lips to Darren's throat, licking and
                    nipping at the soft warm flesh of his mate.
                    "Tell me what you want...Daz..." Daniel mumbled
                    against his throat and smiled as he heard Darren
                    growl softly.

                    "I think you already know..." Darren answered as
                    he pushed his body more intimately against
                    Daniel's, letting him feel just what he was doing
                    to him.
                    He then listened to Daniel's husky laugh before
                    letting out another growl as he felt his shirt
                    being pushed up.
                    "Oh shit! You're teasing me..." he moaned as the
                    fabric of his shirt rubbed against his passion
                    hardened nipples.

                    "Am I?" Daniel asked innocently, his thoughts and
                    actions becoming bolder with each moan from
                    Darren's beautiful mouth.
                    Then, without waiting for a reply, he lowered his
                    head and slipped his tongue out, flicking it at
                    Darren's nipples, smiling at the reaction he
                    caused in Darren.

                    Darren struggled not to scream as he felt Daniel's
                    tongue flick at him and instead dug his fingers
                    into Daniel's blond head, pulling his head as
                    close as possible, begging for more contact.

                    Daniel took this as encouragement as he slowly
                    began to suck on one of his nipples, rolling it
                    around in his teeth.
                    Then, as he shifted his attention to the other
                    one, he slowly walked Darren backwards, towards
                    his waiting bed.

                    When he felt the bed bang against the back of his
                    legs, Darren struggled to stay standing up right,
                    not wanting to break the contact between Daniel
                    and himself, not even for a second but,
                    unfortunately, the decision was taken from him
                    as he felt Daniel's arms on his shoulders, pushing
                    him backwards.

                    Daniel watched as Darren fell back on the bed, his
                    body suddenly becoming more inviting than ever.
                    Then, as he stood there, Daniel found himself
                    looking over every inch of the Adonis lying in
                    front of him.

                    As Daniel's eyes roamed over his body, Darren felt
                    himself becoming more aroused as his body ached to
                    be touched wherever Daniel's eyes fell.
                    "Please..." Darren whined softly as he reached an
                    arm out for Daniel to take.
 

                   Daniel smiled at Darren's plea then slowly climbed
                    on top of him, kissing his way from his stomach up
                    to his lips, where his mouth mated passionately
                    with Darren's hungry one.
                    As they kissed, Daniel became aware of Darren's
                    hands moving to rest on the waist band of Daniel's
                    pants, causing a shiver to run down Daniel's spine
                    as he imagined Darren touching what those pants
                    hid.
                    Losing himself in his fantasising, Daniel suddenly
                    gasped as Darren ground his own erection against
                    him.

                    Darren bit his lip as he once against ground his
                    erection against Daniel, feeling almost devilish
                    in his actions but not caring about anything but
                    the feeling it was creating.
                    The kissing then grew more heated as Darren
                    continued his movements and hands started moving
                    everywhere, with the heat of the moment, touching,
                    caressing, bringing moans from both parties.

                    As Daniel moved his hips against Darren's, he felt
                    the need to touch him grow and before he could
                    even think what he was doing, his hand was in
                    Darren's pants, touching his hardness.

                    At first Darren was surprised at the warm hand on
                    his erection. It was a strange feeling having
                    another man touch him in such an intimate way but
                    it was extremely arousing.
                    His thoughts then moved to who was touching him
                    and he closed his eyes, moaning softly as he moved
                    his hips against Daniel's hand, the pleasure
                    shooting up and down his body.
                    "Oh yessss..." he groaned gritting his teeth as
                    Daniel tightened his grip slightly.

                    Daniel found himself watching Darren's features as
                    he gripped his hardness, squeezing it as he had
                    only ever done to himself.
                    How strange it felt, feeling Darren move in his
                    hand, hearing him moan in pleasure and knowing
                    it was him that was causing it, knowing that he'd
                    dreamt of this moment so many times.
                    Then, as Daniel continued his movements, he slowly
                    began to move himself down Darren's body, kissing
                    a hot trail.

                    Darren moaned loudly as Daniel kissed his way down
                    his body, knowing what he was going to do and just
                    aching for the pleasure he knew it would bring.
                    Finally Daniel reached his pants and within
                    seconds, they, and his boxers, were on the floor,
                    leaving his body naked before Daniel's eyes.

                    Daniel's eyes roamed once more over the naked body
                    in front of him, his eyes quickly being drawn to
                    Darren's hardness, sticking up and begging for
                    Daniel's mouth, which is exactly what it was gonna
                    get.
                    Daniel licked his lips slowly, smiling at the lust
                    he saw in Darren's eyes, before slowly lowering
                    his head, so slow that Darren was squirming under
                    him, trying to raise his hips to speed up the
                    process, only to have Daniel's hands push them
                    back down again.

                    "Daniel..." Darren whined again as he felt his
                    hips once more being pushed down.
                    It was torture knowing that Daniel's mouth was                                                                                                           so close yet so far away.
                    "Please..." he begged then gasped as he felt
                    Daniel's tongue, licking softly at the tip of his
                    hardness, tasting some of his essence that had
                    already begun to seep out.

                    Daniel licked again at Darren, smiling as his mate
                    squirmed under the hands that were still holding
                    him down.
                    He couldn't believe what he was doing but somehow,
                    it just felt so right. Like he and Darren were
                    destined to be together in this way.
                    With this thought running through his mind, Daniel
                    took then entire length of Darren into his mouth,
                    quickly adjusting to the strange feeling to suck
                    gently on him.

                    Darren let out a loud moan as Daniel finally took
                    him into his mouth. The moment he'd been waiting
                    for, for so long, was happening and it felt so
                    good.
 

                   He could tell Daniel knew what he wanted, knew
                    exactly what made it feel good as he felt Daniel's
                    fingers move up to fondle his sacs, sucking hard
                    on Darren's cock as he slowly pulled his head
                    backwards.
                    "Oh geezus!!!" Darren cried as Daniel once more
                    took him into his mouth, continuing his fondling
                    of his balls as he did so.

                    Daniel smiled at the obvious pleasure he was
                    causing Darren as he found himself licking up more
                    of Darren's precum, delighting in the sweetness
                    of it.
                    He could tell by the movements of Darren,
                    movements he'd made so many times himself, that it
                    wouldn't be much longer before Darren would feel
                    his release and this excited him. He began sucking
                    harder, allowing Darren to thrust his hips upward
                    to his mouth, and smiled as Darren let out moan
                    after moan.

                    Darren couldn't believe the feelings that Daniel
                    was bringing out in him. Never before had he felt
                    so in ecstasy, like he was about to explode.
                    He began furiously fucking Daniel's mouth, his
                    pleasure becoming so strong that his hands, that
                    had grabbed handfuls of sheet, were pulling at
                    them so forcefully that tears were beginning to
                    appear in it.

                    Daniel almost laughed as he saw the tears...what
                    would he tell the hotel staff??
                    "Who cares!" he thought to himself as he sucked on
                    Darren, his tongue flicking at the tip once more.
                    Suddenly he heard Darren let out a loud scream
                    and felt a thick substance shoot down his throat,
                    having some slide down his chin as he struggled
                    to drink it all up.

                    "Holy shit!" Darren cried as he felt his climax
                    shoot through his entire body, the sheets finally
                    giving into his torture and coming apart in his
                    fists.
                    Never had he felt like that, never had it ever
                    been that intense.
