Singing Snowberg
Chapter Six
Olympic <11>

I say, “what’s the last time you took shower?” “It was with you. Don’t you remember?” Indeed, we never did it separately. “You smelt sexy.” That’s the magical smell of his blood. “It’s your blood, Salix.” “It’s you, reminds me of the desert back my home,” He breaths wilder, catching my hands and puts me sprawled, “the wild land of yellow, will you let me mount you?” He’s really hard at this moment….
It’s 11 o’clock the next time I wake up, Salix’s sitting under the pendent lamp, which is swaying back and forth, we’re still at sea. “You should clean your face.” I shake my head, simply look at him at this moment, “I forgive you.” Silence. Silence. Silence. He walks to the bedside and offers me a hand.
The hot water is a refreshment to my spirit, he washed the blood on my face in the bathtub. “You’re handsome again, sunshine.” “Don’t say weird things.” “What? Who’s weird? My little vampire.” He spoke with a bolder tone. “Your blood is really good, I can’t resist it.” “I guess someone has changed you.” “Don’t say that, he’s just a friend.”
Salix sinks below the surface, one minute later I pull his head out, and he starts mumbling, “I had a lots of friends when I was young, but we were separated through time, I’m weak to keep the contacts, and I didn’t have the strength to fight the reality. But to look back: why the current friends are more important than the old friends?” He’s thinking about his old friends. “I think… if I gather with old friends I would cry, for time had changed many things; but if Devo tells me he’ll leave tomorrow, I would be more desperate, not for the time, but just for him, that person, that body.” “So the right-now is more important.” “Human nature.”
“What if I tell you I’ll leave soon… will you be sad?” “Why?” “Because when you meet the real Salix, it’s time to forget me.” “No! Didn’t you enjoy him? You always told me he made you happy, what now?” “Why don’t you understand? There’s no three-way.” “But you’re me, I’m you, we hold this body together!” I grab his hand to touch my chest, this is the first time for my turn to console him. I press harder, the pain is overwhelming, “do you feel the pain?” He’s trying to get rid of my control, “Cyano stop, you’re hurting yourself, please stop.” “Tell me you won’t leave me, ever.” He starts sobbing, “you should learn to respect my choice….” “I promise you I won’t leave you alone. I promise. Do you remember that blue deer? Don’t you want to see her again?” I think I hit the right point, his grey mountains are contracting, the black matter in the middle shows a blue mountain, that magical snowberg. “I… promise.” “If we’re going to China, you come; if he doesn’t, you still come with me, okay? Remember, you’re more important and special than anyone else in this universe.” His face lightens with the glitter I’ve never seen before, “you take me to Lejanía with you?” “Lejanía? Is it a city? Wherever it is, anywhere.” “Oh… I’m happy. Thank you Cyano.”
The voyage back is quicker, we debarked the boat at night time, I couldn’t describe how I felt when my feet touched my country ground again. It’s been a long while. We took a cab to the Darwin street, there’s a bar he talked about in the letter, the BTW. “Are you sure this is the right place?” “Go and meet him, I’m waiting here.”
As if walking into a dream, the guests here are passing shadows and the lights of every colours are blurred background because the only focus is on him. His fluffy hair reflects the blue lights from above the counter, presenting a colour of olivine which is familiar to me, the colour in the night sky. I don’t know how, this moment I want to write a letter to Sunder, to tell her take care of Lazy. Perhaps he’s hungry now. Sometimes people stare at the sky to forget things, in fact this method works very well.
“A glass of Imperial Pizz, pleazze.” He looks shocked, then excitement all over, “I prefer Tequila Sunrise.” “Then Tequila Sunrise.” The first sip gives off fruit fragrance with a little sourness, bringing me back to the summer I missed most. His shift ends soon after midnight, and midnight is here. We talked about many things, what we went through and how we managed to get ourselves straight.
