All That Glitters

Sam had not been able to find many excuses to take Remi anywhere. Things they used to do, just have tea to be together, sleep at each others houses, go on walks...they all seemed too couplely and intimate. But anything friendly, purely platonic, would be painful. It had been a couple of days and all he'd managed was an awkward trip next door to ask for some ink. But finally a reason arose, something he actually needed Remi for. Sam had never felt any kind of divine influence in his life when he was away from The Voice, at least not in the sense of visions or signs. But laying in bed at night, staring at the moon...he began to feel an intense need to go. Where, he wasn't quite sure. But somewhere outside, somewhere where he knew he'd find something important. Something necessary. However, no matter the strength of the desire, he knew it was dangerous to go wandering about outside alone. Remi was strong, capable, with magic and animal shifts; it made sense to ask him for company. So he knocked on Remi's door ready for adventure and trying to wear his best 'this won't be uncomfortable at all' smile. Samuel At seventeen, I started to starve myself I thought that love was a kind of emptiness And at least I understood then the hunger I felt And I didn't have to call it loneliness
