Neal slowly woke up, feeling a bit stiff from sleeping in the recliner. He could smell coffee and…bacon, yes he was sure that was the delightful scent that was wafting out from the kitchen. He glanced over at the couch and noticed the bed clothes, had been carefully folded up. “Good morning” Steve said coming into the living room . He smiled at Neal and the guitarist said, “ I forgot what a morning person you were.” Steve smiled at him.
"Well Misty woke me up for food. She did not want to wait for it. You know what they say, there is no snooze alarm on a cat that wants breakfast.” Neal asked “ Did you actually cook bacon." Well yeah I am vegetarian, but I know the rest of the group isn’t. Greg loves to eat meat." Suddenly Steve blushed realizing how that sounded. "Why don’t you come in and eat some," he said. Neal sort of snickered and Steve blushed redder, “ You got a big enough mouth for all those feet you keep sticking in there?" Neal asked. Oh just have breakfast Steve laughed. He then realized that it was the first time he had really felt like laughing since he was abducted. The two men went into the kitchen and Steve piled a plate up for Neal. He only took a little bit of eggs for himself, then poured orange juice from a pitcher before sitting down. “Not much appetite”, he said in response to Neal’s puzzled look,” first it was the antibiotics and painkillers that made me nauseous. Now I just am not that interested in food. But you go ahead and enjoy yourself. He smiled at Neal, reassuringly he hoped.
The two ate for a while in companionable quiet. Then Neal said “ Steve I am sorry about what happened last night.” Since you were ……. “ he hesitated. “Raped” Steve finished for him” it is alright, you can say the word Neal. It happened, we can’t pretend it didn’t.” Neal continued, “Ever since you went missing, my head has just been a mess, I have been confused. I mean I am engaged, I want to get married, have kids. But when that bastard had you, and we didn’t know if you would ever come home safe again, I was so scared and hurting. While we all were trying to comfort Greg I was trying to imagine how I was going to survive if you….. Neal suddenly felt tears well up in his eyes and he quickly blinked them away. The tears did not go unnoticed by Steve but Neal quickly changed the subject “ So what do want to do today,do you want to take a drive or maybe go to a movie. We don’t have to stay in the city, I am supposed to be keeping you company.” Steve thought for a minute he was intimidated by the the idea of going out. The last day he had left the safety of his house he had been kidnapped. And that man was still out there.
-------
Waking later that morning, Greg rolled over in bed. He reached out to where Steve should be lying against him and felt only empty cold space. Startled awake from panic, he suddenly realized why Steve was not there. He was in his parent’s guest room, back home in Seattle. He had left Steve back in San Fransisco in Neal’s care. He sat up and thought to himself, let me get things wrapped up here fast. I just want to be back with Steve. He looked over at the nightstand where he had sat two framed photographs of him and Steve. They were both taken before Steve’s abduction. The one Gregg liked the best, was one with his arms wrapped tightly around Steve. Steve was looking up at him and laughing. Neal had snapped it last fall outside of Mary’s and Marv’s place, when the three of them were there for a cookout. Now he looked at the photo and said “ I miss you so much, I can’t wait to get back home.”
-------
Taking note of the paniced look on Steve's face,Neal said “ I know you haven’t been out since you were taken. But you got to try to get out there again. I will keep an eye on you and the body guard will travel with us. Nothing is going to to happen to you. I promise." Steve smiled and said “ I would enjoy spending the afternoon out. I think Greg is afraid to let me out. He thinks that I will get grabbed and he won’t be able to stop it. “ Steve sighed,” I have wrecked everything, for the band, my relationship, all of it. “ No Steve you didn’t, but Greg is hurting though too." You have to remember that. Steve was quiet a minute then said “ I am just so scared I wlll loose him,” “ Like I told you last night, he is crazy about you. He is not thinking about letting go, he ain’t nuts, he knows what a jewel he has. Neal looked very intently at Steve, then said “ Let’s go !”
------
In Seatle,several hours later Greg was out running a few errands. He had called Steve and talked to him for a bit. Then Neal said they were going to go out for a few hours. They were going have lunch then go to a movie. Greg was glad to see his lover willing to go out. Neal assured him that the body guard would travel with them. He also promised Gregg that he would carefully watch Steve to make sure that he was not getting tired or scared.
His thoughts were interrupted by his name being called. He turned around to see a young red headed man coming towards him.” Adrian,” he said shocked to see his his old friend. Actually the two were a bit more then friends, he had known Greg from his Santana days. The two of them had dated around the time of Woodstock, very discreetly of course. But he hadn’t seen the young man for about 5 years, since before Greg had went back to California to form Journey with Neal. Adrian was just as stunning as he had been when the two were sleeping together 10 years ago. Even in the sea of long haired young men at the New York music festival he stood out. With his thick auburn hair flowing in waves down his back and eyes as green as emeralds, he was the direct opposite of Greg. His creamy skin was flawless and he was small boned and small featured. In fact like Steve, Adrian was often mistaken for a girl at first glance. In those days he and Greg were both inexperienced, in fact they sort of “deflowered” each other.
Happy to see one another, they embraced tightly and Adrian asked “ When did you get home”. “ I had to do a few things to do for the family, just here for a few days,”Greg told him." Well have you had lunch, maybe we could grab a bite to eat, I haven’t seen you for so long." Gregg thought for a minute then said “ Sure I got a little time.”
“Great”, Adrian said “ I have to admit, I have not been to one of your concerts since Robert was the vocalist but I have Journey’s latest album. And I have watched the television. Man that new singer of yours, he is hot, I mean stunningly gorgeous. But I heard he was sick.” Greg felt tongue tied, then he launched into the story Herbie had fabricated for the press. "Yes Steve was in the hospital, but he is feeling better.” Well I would like to make him feel better, but I guess I would have to fight my way through line of groupies. But hey I know you always had to beat off the chicks, guess Steve takes away from that. But I am sure that is a relief in a way." Adrian teased. “ Greg didn’t quite know how to answer that so he said “ What do you want to do for lunch?”” Something light,” Adrian said” Maybe just soup and a sandwich. “Fine,” Greg said, “I have a rental car right now. If you have some idea where to go I will drive us." That is cool I took the train today. It was such a nice day and I was taking a class this morning so I figured I would walk a bit this afternoon. “ Well lead the way," Greg said,” He smiled happy to get a bit of distraction from his constant worry about Steve."

Despite his fears, Steve had a wonderful outing with Neal. The two of them went to a Cineplex with the bodyguard close at their heels. They then went a Mexican restaurant where they had a friendly debate where over whether they would have meat in the tacos. They both giggled when they recalled the conversion about meat this morning. Steve felt more relaxed then he had since he was abducted. There were even a few fans who approached them and with the safety of the body guard nearby Steve and Neal both signed a few autographs. Neal got Steve to laugh quite a bit and they even discussed a few new song ideas. By time the day was over they were both happy to return home.
--------
In the meantime Greg and Adrian also had an enjoyable afternoon. They caught up on the last few years. Greg discussed the band and Adrian talked about his master degree program in archeology. They both carefully avoided the subject of relationships either their current partners or their past as lovers. Before Greg went back to his parents for the day, Adrian invited him to see the home he had bought. Since he knew it would probably be the last time he seen Adrian for a long time, if ever, Greg decided to extend the visit and drive him home. Plus in the back of his mind was the thought of Adrian making his way home in the dark, alone. There was no way Greg was going to let anything happen to Adrian, there was no telling what kind of perverts were out there. He had failed Steve, he was not going to risk his ex’s safety. At least that is what Greg told himself when he followed Adrian into his front door.
---------
Around two am Neal was fast asleep in the spare bedroom. Steve was exhausted from his most active day since before his attack, and he had showered and turned in early. Neal had stayed up for a while and working on some new songs. He hoped tomorrow he and Steve would work on some lyrics together. Finally he had showered and turned in as well, after checking that Steve was still sleeping peacefully. Suddenly he was awoken again by Steve’s crying. He jumped out of bed and dashed into the next room. Steve was sitting by the window, sobbing softly. “ I am sorry”, he said to Neal,” I can’t sleep alone in the dark, I just get too scared, I am sorry” Neal embraced him and Steve said “ Stay with me. Please.” Neal wasn’t sure how Steve would react but he said “Alright,’ He led Steve to the bed and pulled the singer down next to him. He laid down and held him close to him. “Sleep now Steve, you are safe here.” Steve let out a couple more whimpers then said “ Promise not to leave.” “Absolutely, I promise.”Neal whispered. In a few minutes Steve had drifted off again. Neal just lay quietly enjoying the feeling of holding the man he now realized that he was deeply in love with.
--------
Adrian lay quietly in his bed. He wasn’t sure but he thought that maybe he had wanted the evening to turn out this way. From the time he had spotted Greg on the street and called to him, was this in the back of his mind ? Adrian wasn’t sure but he did know one thing. He had never quite gotten over Gregg, the musician being his first lover. He turned over and touched the sleeping man’s arm. Gregg stirred a bit then reached out and put his arm around Adrian. He took the opportunity to cuddle against Gregg and then heard a soft sound in his ear. Greg’s voice, one word….Steve. Adrian gasped, then was still for a second. Steve ??? He slipped out of bed and went over to where Gregg’s backpack was lying. He reached inside of it, after making sure the keyboardist was still sleeping. He reached in and pulled out a small photo album. He quickly flipped through it. It was filled with band photos, ones of rehearsals, concerts, and public events. But the ones that caught his eye were the pictures of Greg smiling, eyes glowing and hugging a tiny equally happy brunette.Of course Greg’s "Steve", was the band’s new singer.

A tall man stood looking at the bedroom of his rented house. He had cleaned up the flower petals off the floor and dumped the vases out. He had stripped the sheets off the bed but had not been able to wash the blood and semen stains out of them completely. But that didn’t bother him, they helped him relive the event. Often he would lie on the sheets and leave his own contribution as he masturbated to the memories of the sexual encounters he had with Steve. He smiled at the handcuffs attached to the headboard. He would be using them again soon. He was sure that by now that Steve had said his final goodbyes to his Mom and to Gregg. And he had been able to remind Steve that he was his property. Soon Steve would be back here with him for good, Steve would be his willing lover forever.
