I am back updating this story (soon) but meanwhile I checked it and unfortunately we seem to have lost 2 chapters, I don't have them saved, so what's gone is gone ... Also there's lots of strange stuff happened to the text, I corrected some of it but it will take more time, some words have been lost and ... well if you will read it, you'll see what I mean! Text needs some major editing! But meanwhile, I am working on a new chapter and thank you for waiting! :)

****************************
This work is SLASH. Do not read if homosexual content offends you or if it does and if you do, then don’t complain.
I do not know Darren, Daniel or any other people mentioned, most of them never existed. I do not know how D/D met, how Savage Garden started, how they got along and what is their sexuality – all this is just my fantasy. The facts all all made up – I don’t even know their real chart positions, release dates, records sold, awards received. I made it all up. If some facts are true, they are pure coincidence.
I wrote this for my own pleasure & amusement, I had fun and decided to share, please tell me what you think and if you enjoy it, there’s lot more to come!
P.S. Excuse any mistakes, this is not my first language!
****************************

Daniel Jones was the quiet one. Independent. Always one step behind. He was the one never to argue yet always had an opinion. He was so easy to get along with. But his partner in a band they were about to form – Darren Hayes … he was such anositosite, all emotions, all voice, all arguments. Is that why they clicked together so nicely? Is this why they formed such a friendship beyond the band? Beyond just work? Or is it just because they spent so much time together that growing friends became not an option but necessity? Darren saw more of Daniel than his own wife. They struggled to creausicusic together. Darren and Daniel – they knew there is something in them to sell and they were willing to sell it. A very special feeling told them that there was some chemistry between them at the moment they met and it just couldn’t be ignored. Creatively they were born to work together. They both felt it is worth it to sacrifice something in order to try their luck. For Darren it was sacrificing his time with his family – still so young and already under lots of pressures of it’s own… For Daniel it was sacrificing his personal space that he always so jealously guarded. He let Darren bring his toothbrush into his bathroom. He made his living room into a second bedroom. He did a thing he swore he’d never do – he practically started living with someone.

It was one Sunday afternoon Daniel sat in his living room (or was it Darren’s bedroom already?) and toyed around with a short simple guitar riff when Darren raised an eyebrow from his notes and smiled a very wide silly smile.

“What?” Daniel was annoyed. He was beginning to get somewhere with this and now of all times Darren had to make a comedy…

“I want you” Darren whispered.

“What?” Daniel felt like jumping out of his skin. What did that little bastard just say? Is that his best friend sitting over there?

“Play it again!” Darren jumped up enthusiastically and run to stand behind Daniel placing his hands on Daniel’s shoulders.

He leaned into Daniel’s personal space and nearly screamed, “Play it again!”

Daniel was snapped back to reality. Of course he was saying something about this riff he’d been playing for ages. Still … He suddenly had a rush of heat from where he felt Darren’s breath caressing the skin of his neck. He had leaned too damn closed into Daniel. Too damn close for comfort.

Darren’s grip on Daniel’s shoulders tightened as he started jumping up and down slightly, repeating, “I heard it! I just heart it!”

Daniel was used to these artistic outbursts… No use in trying to get it out of him. Just let him cradle it and lay it out to the world in an understandable manner.

Daniel repeated the riff several times feeling Darren’s hands tighter and tighter on his shoulders. Darren was murmuring something under his breath.

“God, Danny … I want you! It’s so simple! I’ve been writing it down for ages what words this riff brings out in my head and I just couldn’t …. Just now I heard it so clearly ! It speaks “I want you!” Try it! Try it!”

He was so enthusiastic it made Daniel annoyed but he couldn’t hold back a smile when he indeed heard it – of course materialized in Darren’s honey-sweet voice – “OH I WANT YOU” …

“You know mate …” Daniel got up finally freeing himself from uncomfortable grip on his over excited friend, “you can’t sing “I want you” like a lullaby, gotta sound needy, horny… and breathy, not like just out of a kindergarten …”

“Well admit it … The concept is good!” Darren started to pout.

“Come on, Darren, I want you is not a concept, it’s a line of a song!”

Daniel was still slightly annoyed and also slightly shaken. He had gotten a wrong idea … Darren is married. Darren is heterosexual. He wouldn’t have made a move on Daniel in a thousand years. Besides Daniel would never give him a sign, would he? Daniel himself had forgotten the experiences of his past life. He just didn’t expect anyone to dig them out just like that, and the last person to do it was Darren. Damn, Daniel cursed under his breath.

“Are you still on this planet ? I am talking to you!” Darren’s pout was
dangerously close to tears.

God, Daniel thought, he is the one who acts like a goddamn queer, and I’m the one playing for both teams… How ironic! He laughed out load and came over to where Darren was about to start a drama and put his arms around Darren’s shoulders in a friendly embrace.

”Come on, let’s take a trip to reality. Let’s celebrate the concept of yours, if you like… Gotta get your inspirations somewhere!”

Darren was still unsure. He looked at Daniel with those blue eyes of his in a way Daniel almost had to catch his breath… Damn, what’s up with me today, he made a silent question and rolled his eyes at Darren’s pout, “I need a beer, mate!”

“You know I don’t drink”

“Well you do go out, don’t you? How do you meet people?” Daniel giggled… “How would you ever live out that brilliant concept of yours if you wouldn’t go out?”

“I already have that concept at home, Daniel”, Darren turned his back to Daniel and went over to the phone.

A flush of heat started at Daniel’s stomach and made all the way up to the ends of his hair at the moment he realized Darren is calling his wife and was actually referring to HER. Of course he was talking about her! Damn! That heat was gonna kill him today.

Daniel didn’t want to hear the stupid chit chat Darren and Colby had, trying to pretend they were still a family. Whatever sad attempts of relationships Daniel had ever tried with women had taught him that any distance kills it all. And kills it fast. But then again … he had never been really in love, had he? Darren made trips back home time after time, but something told Daniel that Darren more willingly stayed with him. Things were definitely going all wrong in Hayes household and Darren was looking for a refugee. Well more time for them together as a band as only a good thing.

Daniel was on a second beer when Darren walked in swinging his hips innocently. Does he realize? - Daniel thought. Darren quickly located him at the usual spot at the bar. He sat next to Daniel and ordered his regular mineral water.

“Don’t you ever drink?” Daniel asked. He had always wanted to know and this seemed like a good time to ask.

“I do”, Darren seemed to have let the pouting mood go and spoke like a normal person again. “I drank champagne at my weddings. Actually I think I had a few beers last summer. I just don’t need it. Besides it puts calories on you … well not on you…. But it does put calories on me and god knows my waist doesn’t need any more of those!” he smiled and cheered his bottle of water at Daniel’s Corona.

Daniel kept amusing himself over how gay Darren can be at times, and he has no idea, has he?

Darren’s mood was back to normal and he chatted away about his phone call to Colby and other things Daniel really could live without knowing. Everything seemed so normal when Darren spoke about his marriage. Hell why he wanted to talk about it! But he was running from it. Daniel knew he was! They lived an hour’s drive apart. Instead of sipping his water next to him in that bar, Darren could have been home. But he wasn’t.

“6 beers, Daniel? Did you have to get drunk?” Darren had no understanding of drunk people and let it be known to Daniel on their way home. Probably for 1000th time during the 2 years they knew each other.

“I am not drunk, mate, alright!” Daniel answered and he really wasn’t. 6 beers could not knock Daniel Jones down. They were on a doorstep of their apartment and Daniel fumbling for a key when Darren said something that possibly changed it all in one simple instant. He just opened his mouth and asked, “Damn you, Daniel! If you are not drunk, why were you flirting with me all through the night?”
