"Look, Lijah, isn't she gorgeous?" Billy said, pride in his voice.
"Yeah, she's beautiful", Elijah said, admiring the black leather and metal. "Can I have a ride on her some time?" he asked carefully.
"Sure you can, after I have taken her for a ride first", Billy said, stroking the handles of the motorbike in front of him.
"What do you think, Dom?" Elijah asked. Dom was quiet for a while. I hate that thing, because some day it will kill my Billy, he thought.
"Eh - well, I am not exactly an expert when it comes to vehicles", Dom said, scratching his chin. "But it looks nice- she, I mean, she looks nice", he corrected himself and blushed a bit. Billy and Elijah laughed.
"Okay, guys, come on", Sean, who had just entered the garage, said. "Dinner's getting cold." Elijah and Billy tore themselves out of the dream of riding motorbikes on roads where no-one else was driving... Tore themselves out of the dream of being free. They entered Billy's house, and when Dom was about to enter, Sean shook his head and put his hand on Dom's shoulder.
"I just don't get all the fuss about one motorbike", Sean said to Dom and patted his shoulder.
"Me neither", Dom said, his eyes fixed on the motorbike. Then he shook his head, as well. "Me neither."
o0o0o
After dinner Sean and Elijah left, both heading towards their own apartments. Dom stayed at Billy's house, helping him clean up the kitchen - they had, for some reason, started a food fight which caused Sean and Elijah to crawl under the table and shake their heads. When Dom had thrown the last piece of his strawberry cake at Billy, Billy had finally given up and kissed Dom on the lips and admitted that Dom had won.
"You should get a dish-washing machine", Dom whined. Billy threw some foam at Dom.
"Easy for you to say", Billy cackled, "you don't even cook for yourself. I cook for you." Dom laughed and threw some foam back at Billy.
"You still have some strawberry there", Dom said, pointing to Billy's cheek. Billy brought his hand to wipe it off, but Dom grabbed Billy's wrist. "Allow me, Mr. Boyd", Dom suggested, grinning. Billy closed his eyes and Dom licked the strawberry off his cheek.
"Thanks", Billy said and gave a laugh.
"You're welcome", Dom replied.
o0o0o
Later in the evening when they were in Billy's bed, recovering from one of the most extraordinary love-making experiences they had ever had, Dom lit a cigarette. Billy looked at Dom taking a deep pull from the cig.
"Dom, you know those things will some day kill you", he said quietly, tracing Dom's abs with his finger. Dom blew out the smoke.
"And that motorbike will some day kill you", Dom said, not even bothering to look at Billy. Billy stopped what he was doing with his finger, and supported himself with his elbows while he lay on his stomach, and looked at Dom.
"Are you still angry at me for buying that motorbike?" he asked. Dom turned his eyes to Billy.
"Angry? Billy, I'm not angry at you. I am just - concerned, and scared." Dom put out his cigarette (the ashtray on the night table was of course his; Billy didn't smoke) even though he had only taken a few pulls. "You do know how many people are killed every year in traffic accidents." Billy heaved a deep sigh.
"But Dom, it won't happen to me", he mumbled. "I'm not that stupid, I will not ride so wildly." Dom smirked.
"Judging by the way you ride me, I'd say that's a lie."
o0o0o
"Oh come on, Dom", Billy begged. "Just once, it will be fun." Dom took one look at Billy and shook his head furiously.
"No, Billy, I am telling you - I am not getting on that motorbike." Dom's voice was stern and Billy basically knew there was no changing Dom's mind. "I told you; those things have killed people."
"You sure you haven't seen 'Christine' too many times, Dom?" Billy teased.
"'Christine' was about a mad car and has nothing to do with this", Dom said tensely. Billy let out a strange cackle. "Please, Billy", Dom nearly begged, "don't make me come with you."
"Of course I won't", Billy said, wrapping his arms around Dom's shoulders. "You're just missing all the fun." Dom wrapped his arms around Billy's waist in exchange, and placed a small kiss on his temple.
"Just promise that you will be careful and maybe I will join you someday", Dom said. "I don't want to lose you because of one stupid motorbike", he muttered with his lips buried in Billy's neck. Billy patted Dom's back.
"Everything'll be alright", he whispered. "I promise." Billy pulled himself away from Dom and looked into his eyes. "I swear I will not do anything stupid." Dom kissed him deeply and gently.
"Alright", Dom finally said. Billy smiled.
"Thanks, Dom", he whispered. "I'll be back before it gets dark", he said when he mounted the motorbike.
"But if you are gone for too long, I'll get worried", Dom shouted. Billy put on his helmet, waved as a goodbye and blew a kiss, and rode away on his motorbike.
o0o0o
Dom sat the entire evening in the living room, TV open and a newspaper in his hands, but he neither watched the TV nor read the newspaper. He took a sip of the drink on the table in front of him, and he noticed his hands were shaking.
He took a glance at the clock on the wall. 7:30 pm. Billy had been gone for three hours now. He played with his rings nervously, glancing at the clock every now and then.
Billy, where are you? he thought nervously, and in that very moment he heard keys' rattling in the front door lock and he could have cried in relief. He got up off the sofa quickly and hit his knee to the table, cursed a bit, and walked quickly to the front door.
"Dom- " Billy started, but didn't have time to finish. Dom had already closed him into a tight and rib-breaking hug.
"Billy, I am glad you're ok", Dom whispered in Billy's ear. Billy brought his hands on Dom's back, quite awkwardly.
"Dom - I just took a quick ride, that's all", Billy said, frowning.
"I know", Dom replied, taking a deep breath. "But even that was too long."
o0o0o
After a few days' of begging, praying and persuading, Dom finally gave into Billy's wish. He promised to take a ride on Billy's motorbike with him.
"But just a quick one, I'm begging you", Dom said.
"Of course, Dom", Billy replied. "I won't let anything happen to you - or us." Dom sighed and gave Billy a small kiss on the cheek.
"I know it. Just making sure." Billy smiled.
"Let's go then", he said and took Dom's hand, leading him to the garage. He gave Dom the spare helmet he had, and mounted the motorbike. Dom was a bit clumsy with his helmet, so Billy helped him clasp it, smiling as he did so.
"Thank you", Dom said, his voice shaking a bit.
"You're welcome", Billy replied. "You ready then?" Dom swallowed.
"Yeah, I am." Dom wrapped his arms tightly around Billy's waist and closed his eyes.
o0o0o
They had only ridden the bike for half an hour now, and Dom was starting to get rid of his fear. He loosened his grip on Billy's waist a bit and even started to view the landscapes around him and Billy.
I sure understand why Billy finds this so releasing, Dom thought. Because, like he had read somewhere, when you do something you are really excited about, your body releases endorphines which make you feel like you are drunk. Just like when you're having sex, Dom thought, grinning. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath...
o0o0o
"Dom?" Billy whispered and nudged Dom, who was lying on the ground, not far from the motorbike. Billy took off his helmet, and then Dom's, and tear fell from his eye on Dom's cheek. "Dom, please wake up... Wake up!" he said, his voice clearly shaking.
"Billy..." Dom's whisper was barely audible, but Billy heard it as it had been as loud as a thunderstorm. Billy grabbed Dom, pulling him close to himself and sobbing.
"Dom! Oh my God, Dom..." Billy held Dom close, crying against his shoulder. "Why didn't I just listen to you?" he whispered. He felt Dom's hand clutch his shirt weakly.
"Billy, Billy", Dom sobbed.
"Shh, Dom... Be quiet... I am going to get help..." Billy's voice was stuffed and sobby, and carefully he lay Dom back down. He took his mobile phone and hastily pressed the Emergency number.
"Hello? We need an ambulance..."
o0o0o
Billy waited. Even though it took the ambulance just about ten minutes to get to the place where him and Dom were, it felt like an eternity. And for the whole ten minutes, Billy held Dom in his arms and sang to him, his voice breaking down every now and then.
Suddenly Billy saw how tears fell from Dom's eyes, across his cheeks. Dom clutched Billy's shirt again, but this time even more weakly than he had done a while ago.
"Billy..." Dom whispered.
"What, Dom? What?" Billy said, hastily. "WHAT, Dom??" he nearly shouted.
"Billy... I can't see you... Everything is going black..." Dom mumbled. Billy broke down in tears again.
"No, Dom", Billy cried. "No, you are going to stay with me... We are going to move in together, get married and adopt a little boy and call him Orlando... remember?" Billy's voice shook.
"Yes... I remember", Dom whispered. Billy squeezed Dom's hand, but Dom hardly squeezed back. "Billy... I can't go on anymore", he said quietly, opening his eyes. He looked straight into Billy's eyes and smiled.
"Dom! Dom, no!" Billy cried.
"Billy... I love you so much."
Dom's hands went limp, tears stopped falling from his eyes, but his eyes remained open, staring at Billy. Billy's lips were shaking, when he placed one last kiss on Dom's still warm lips.
"Don't go where I can't follow, Dom..."
But Dom didn't reply. It felt as if the time had stopped, the world had ended and everything around Billy had died. And yet when Billy thought about it, everything did die - Dom was gone now. Everything was gone.
