[18+] “Cozy Beginnings” by Herr Wozzeck (part 2 of 2, read by Solomon Harries)

[18+] After Archie’s mid-performance flashback, he finds himself lost. The band, of course, has him covered, even if he doesn’t know it yet…

Today’s story is the second and final part of “Cozy Beginnings” by Herr Wozzeck, who is a composer, violist, Thereminist, and writer based in Boston. They are the author of the novels Whip and Boot and Lost Inside the Blue Line, as well as the poetry collection The Enigma Letters. You can also see them perform with Trio Menagerie, and you can find more of their stories on their FurAffinity account.

Last time, Archie suffered a traumatic flashback mid-performance in his first not-safe-for-work show with Dark Tryst that left him rattled, and uncertain of what to do next.

“Cozy

Speaker:

Beginnings”

Speaker:

by

Speaker:

Herr Wozzeck, Part 2

Speaker:

of 2

The

Speaker:

rest

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

show

Speaker:

went

Speaker:

rather

Speaker:

well,

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

least

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

far

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

technical

Speaker:

side

Speaker:

went.

Speaker:

But

Speaker:

despite

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

best

Speaker:

efforts,

Speaker:

Archie just

Speaker:

could

Speaker:

not

Speaker:

get

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

mind

Speaker:

back

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

that

Speaker:

free

Speaker:

mindset

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

had

Speaker:

felt

Speaker:

early

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

show,

Speaker:

before

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

had

Speaker:

been

Speaker:

touched

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

that

Speaker:

spot

Speaker:

just

Speaker:

under

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

balls

Speaker:

by

Speaker:

that

Speaker:

cat.

Speaker:

And

Speaker:

so,

Speaker:

Archie

Speaker:

simply

Speaker:

moved,

Speaker:

shambling

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

meet

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

greet

Speaker:

backstage

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

VIP

Speaker:

ticketholders

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

feeling

Speaker:

like

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

stone

Speaker:

settled

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

stomach.
Archie

Speaker:

knew

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

motions

Speaker:

well

enough:

enough:

sign

enough:

a

enough:

few

enough:

posters,

enough:

smile

enough:

for

enough:

a

enough:

few

enough:

cameras,

enough:

but

enough:

these

enough:

he

enough:

did

enough:

with

enough:

the

enough:

bare

enough:

minimum

enough:

of

enough:

effort.

enough:

His

enough:

arms

enough:

were

enough:

still

enough:

stiff,

enough:

his

enough:

smiles

enough:

were

enough:

all

enough:

forced,

enough:

and

enough:

he

enough:

just

enough:

could

enough:

never

enough:

tame

enough:

his

enough:

eyes,

enough:

which

enough:

darted

enough:

around

enough:

nervously.
He

enough:

knew

enough:

he

enough:

should

enough:

have

enough:

complained,

enough:

but

enough:

that

enough:

self-assured

enough:

wink

enough:

that

enough:

Taneli

enough:

gave

enough:

him

enough:

on-stage

enough:

made

enough:

him

enough:

pause.

enough:

He

enough:

knew

enough:

what

enough:

happened

enough:

when

enough:

he

enough:

froze

enough:

off-stage;

enough:

never

enough:

had

enough:

he

enough:

expected

enough:

things

enough:

to

enough:

happen

enough:

like

enough:

that

enough:

on-stage,

enough:

where

enough:

he

enough:

had

enough:

to

enough:

keep

enough:

going

enough:

no

enough:

matter

enough:

what.

enough:

But

enough:

that

enough:

self-assured

enough:

wink…

enough:

Even

enough:

if

enough:

it

enough:

hadn’t

enough:

been

enough:

for

enough:

the

enough:

song

enough:

on-going,

enough:

the

enough:

wink

enough:

kept

enough:

Archie

enough:

in

enough:

place.
The

enough:

feeling

enough:

settled

enough:

deep

enough:

in

enough:

the

enough:

pit

enough:

of

enough:

his

enough:

stomach.

enough:

There

enough:

was

enough:

no

enough:

backing

enough:

out

enough:

now,

enough:

especially

enough:

not

enough:

as

enough:

he

enough:

saw

enough:

the

enough:

familiar

enough:

orange

enough:

tabby

enough:

fur

enough:

of

enough:

the

enough:

cat

enough:

that

enough:

had

enough:

blown

enough:

him

enough:

on-stage.
“Hey,

enough:

hot

enough:

stuff.”
Archie

enough:

had

enough:

been

enough:

pulled

enough:

out

enough:

of

enough:

his

enough:

daze,

enough:

and

enough:

to

enough:

his

enough:

credit

enough:

he

enough:

brushed

enough:

some

enough:

spines

enough:

out

enough:

the

enough:

way. “U-uh, yeah,

enough:

hi, luv,” he

enough:

said.

enough:

He

enough:

swallowed. “You

enough:

were, uh…”
“On-stage,

enough:

yes,”

enough:

the

enough:

cat

enough:

replied.

enough:

She

enough:

smirked

enough:

at

enough:

him. “With

enough:

the

enough:

widest dick

enough:

I

enough:

ever

enough:

sucked

enough:

in

enough:

my

enough:

life.”
“U-uh,

enough:

right.”

enough:

Archie

enough:

nodded. “That

enough:

was

enough:

a

enough:

lot

enough:

to

enough:

take

enough:

in

enough:

on

enough:

the

enough:

first

enough:

night,

enough:

y’know.

enough:

Just…”
The

enough:

cat

enough:

smirked,

enough:

placing

enough:

a

enough:

CD

enough:

down. “Ooh,

enough:

and

enough:

he’s

enough:

got

enough:

an

enough:

accent,”

enough:

she

enough:

said,

enough:

playfully. “Where’re

enough:

you

enough:

from,

enough:

big guy?”
Archie

enough:

swallowed. “Uh…

enough:

Runcorn,

enough:

luv,”

enough:

he

enough:

said.

enough:

He

enough:

twirled

enough:

his

enough:

hands. “Just

enough:

outside

enough:

Liverpool,

enough:

y’know.”
“Ah,

enough:

Northern

enough:

England,”

enough:

the

enough:

cat

enough:

replied.

enough:

She

enough:

winked,

enough:

looking

enough:

down. “Well,

enough:

good

enough:

to

enough:

know

enough:

their

enough:

new

enough:

bassist is

enough:

as

enough:

exotic

enough:

as

enough:

the

enough:

rest

enough:

of ‘em.”

enough:

She

enough:

smiled,

enough:

looking

enough:

down

enough:

at

enough:

him. “And

enough:

what

enough:

a

enough:

nice

enough:

dick.

enough:

I

enough:

see

enough:

why

enough:

they

enough:

hired

enough:

ya.”
Archie

enough:

inhaled,

enough:

suddenly

enough:

feeling

enough:

self-conscious

enough:

about

enough:

his

enough:

dick.

enough:

He

enough:

knew

enough:

the

enough:

process

enough:

behind

enough:

hiring

enough:

him

enough:

was

enough:

more

enough:

involved

enough:

than

enough:

that,

enough:

but

enough:

he

enough:

could not

enough:

help

enough:

but

enough:

think

enough:

about

enough:

the

enough:

way

enough:

she

enough:

looked

enough:

at

enough:

it

enough:

now—
—how

enough:

much

enough:

it

enough:

looked

enough:

like

enough:

her

enough:

dark

enough:

blue

enough:

eyes.
Archie’s

enough:

ears

enough:

twitched,

enough:

and

enough:

then

enough:

he

enough:

shook

enough:

his

enough:

head. “Well, uh…

enough:

it

enough:

wasn’t

enough:

just

enough:

that,”

enough:

he

enough:

said.
“No,”

enough:

the

enough:

cat

enough:

replied,

enough:

winking

enough:

at

enough:

him. “You’ve

enough:

got

enough:

some

enough:

sick

enough:

bass

enough:

playin’

enough:

skills.”

enough:

She

enough:

then

enough:

looked

enough:

over

enough:

to

enough:

the

enough:

rest

enough:

of

enough:

Dark

enough:

Tryst. “And

enough:

I

enough:

think

enough:

you’ll

enough:

fit

enough:

right

enough:

in.”

enough:

She

enough:

then

enough:

perked

enough:

her

enough:

ears

enough:

up. “In

enough:

fact…

enough:

Sign

enough:

this

enough:

for

enough:

me.

enough:

I

enough:

want

enough:

to

enough:

ask

enough:

something.”
And

enough:

with

enough:

this,

enough:

the

enough:

cat

enough:

left

enough:

a

enough:

CD

enough:

in

enough:

Archie’s

enough:

hand.

enough:

He

enough:

noticed

enough:

it

enough:

had

enough:

already

enough:

been

enough:

unwrapped,

enough:

but

enough:

had

enough:

not

enough:

been

enough:

signed

enough:

by

enough:

anyone

enough:

other

enough:

than

enough:

Celine

enough:

and

enough:

Taneli.

enough:

Archie

enough:

inhaled,

enough:

watching

enough:

her

enough:

walk

enough:

up

enough:

to

enough:

Kanji

enough:

and

enough:

Hiro,

enough:

the

enough:

dragon

enough:

twins

enough:

regarding

enough:

her

enough:

with

enough:

an

enough:

initially

enough:

indifferent

enough:

shrug,

enough:

and

enough:

then

enough:

great

enough:

interest

enough:

in

enough:

whatever

enough:

she

enough:

was

enough:

saying.
Soon

enough:

enough,

enough:

they

enough:

flagged

enough:

Taneli

enough:

over.

enough:

Archie’s

enough:

breath

enough:

caught

enough:

in

enough:

his

enough:

throat;

enough:

he

enough:

knew

enough:

what

enough:

this

enough:

meant,

enough:

what

enough:

this

enough:

would

enough:

mean;

enough:

he’d

enough:

get

enough:

the

enough:

talk

enough:

about

enough:

the

enough:

groupie,

enough:

and

enough:

the

enough:

expectation

enough:

she

enough:

would

enough:

be

enough:

there

enough:

to

enough:

get

enough:

her

enough:

brains

enough:

fucked

enough:

out

enough:

by

enough:

him.
Archie

enough:

swallowed,

enough:

his

enough:

eyes

enough:

bulging

enough:

imperceptibly

enough:

as

enough:

he

enough:

watched

enough:

the

enough:

interaction

enough:

play

enough:

out.

enough:

Soon

enough:

he

enough:

thought

enough:

back

enough:

to

enough:

those

enough:

green

enough:

rooms,

enough:

and

enough:

to

enough:

the

enough:

various

enough:

frontmen

enough:

he’d

enough:

known

enough:

that

enough:

would

enough:

berate

enough:

him.

enough:

He

enough:

thought

enough:

he

enough:

could

enough:

feel

enough:

the

enough:

wallpaper

enough:

shift

enough:

slightly

enough:

as

enough:

he

enough:

thought

enough:

back

enough:

to

enough:

this,

enough:

but

enough:

he

enough:

paused,

enough:

sitting

enough:

in

enough:

his

enough:

seat.
He

enough:

looked

enough:

up,

enough:

and

enough:

just

enough:

so

enough:

happened

enough:

to

enough:

catch

enough:

a

enough:

glimpse

enough:

of

enough:

Celine.

enough:

The

enough:

guitarist

enough:

looked

enough:

right

enough:

at

enough:

him,

enough:

but

enough:

he

enough:

noticed

enough:

a

enough:

very

enough:

quick

enough:

quirk

enough:

of

enough:

her

enough:

eyebrow,

enough:

and

enough:

she

enough:

analyzed

enough:

Archie’s

enough:

expression

enough:

deeply.

enough:

Archie’s

enough:

arms

enough:

froze

enough:

at

enough:

this

enough:

point,

enough:

and

enough:

he

enough:

found

enough:

himself

enough:

looking

enough:

at

enough:

her,

enough:

his

enough:

eyes

enough:

wide

enough:

in

enough:

fear.

enough:

The

enough:

imposing

enough:

hedgehog

enough:

felt

enough:

so

enough:

stupid

enough:

for

enough:

only

enough:

freezing

enough:

up

enough:

like

enough:

this,

enough:

but

enough:

with

enough:

everything

enough:

that

enough:

had

enough:

happened

enough:

and

enough:

was

enough:

going

enough:

to

enough:

happen,

enough:

what

enough:

other

enough:

way

enough:

did

enough:

he

enough:

have?
But

enough:

Celine

enough:

simply

enough:

nodded,

enough:

grabbing

enough:

a

enough:

pen

enough:

from

enough:

the

enough:

water cooler

enough:

she had

enough:

been

enough:

standing

enough:

by,

enough:

before

enough:

walking

enough:

to

enough:

him

enough:

and

enough:

plopping

enough:

it

enough:

in

enough:

his

enough:

hand.

enough:

She

enough:

then

enough:

leaned

enough:

close

enough:

to

enough:

his

enough:

ear,

enough:

her

enough:

gaze

enough:

turning

enough:

to

enough:

the

enough:

others.
“Sit

enough:

with

enough:

me

enough:

on

enough:

the

enough:

way

enough:

back,”

enough:

she

enough:

whispered. “I’ll

enough:

take

enough:

care

enough:

of

enough:

it.”
And

enough:

then,

enough:

she

enough:

patted

enough:

his

enough:

shoulder,

enough:

before

enough:

walking

enough:

over

enough:

to

enough:

Taneli and

enough:

the

enough:

twins.

enough:

Archie

enough:

paused,

enough:

looking

enough:

at

enough:

the

enough:

pen

enough:

in

enough:

his

enough:

hand.
…he

enough:

did

enough:

have

enough:

to

enough:

sign

enough:

the

enough:

CD

enough:

after

enough:

all.

enough:

He

enough:

gingerly

enough:

unscrewed

enough:

the

enough:

cap,

enough:

and

enough:

wrote

enough:

his

enough:

signature

enough:

on

enough:

the

enough:

album.
----**----
The cat

enough:

indeed

enough:

tagged

enough:

along

enough:

on

enough:

the

enough:

way

enough:

back

enough:

to

enough:

the

enough:

motel,

enough:

but

enough:

curiously

enough:

her

enough:

attention

enough:

remained

enough:

more

enough:

on

enough:

the

enough:

dragon

enough:

twins

enough:

than

enough:

him

enough:

once Celine

enough:

sat

enough:

next

enough:

to

enough:

him.

enough:

Archie

enough:

watched

enough:

as

enough:

they

enough:

interacted,

enough:

but

enough:

when

enough:

the

enough:

cat

enough:

girl

enough:

turned

enough:

to

enough:

him,

enough:

Celine brushed

enough:

her

enough:

off.
“It

enough:

was

enough:

his

enough:

first show,”

enough:

Celine had

enough:

said. “It’s

enough:

a

enough:

hell

enough:

of

enough:

a

enough:

thing,

enough:

give

enough:

him

enough:

a

enough:

bit

enough:

of

enough:

space.”
To

enough:

Archie’s

enough:

great

enough:

surprise,

enough:

the

enough:

cat

enough:

backed

enough:

off

enough:

after

enough:

this,

enough:

and

enough:

simply

enough:

chatted

enough:

away

enough:

with

enough:

Kanji

enough:

and

enough:

Hiro,

enough:

along

enough:

with

enough:

some

enough:

thin-waisted

enough:

lizard

enough:

twink

enough:

Taneli

enough:

had

enough:

picked

enough:

up

enough:

by

enough:

rimming

enough:

him

enough:

midway

enough:

through

enough:

the

enough:

show.

enough:

The

enough:

trip

enough:

back

enough:

to

enough:

the

enough:

motel

enough:

was

enough:

rather

enough:

smooth

enough:

after

enough:

that,

enough:

and

enough:

the

enough:

truck

enough:

dropped

enough:

them

enough:

all

enough:

off

enough:

with

enough:

no

enough:

preamble.
Taneli

enough:

dragged

enough:

the

enough:

twins

enough:

and

enough:

their

enough:

groupie

enough:

for

enough:

the

enough:

night

enough:

to

enough:

the

enough:

room.

enough:

Archie

enough:

had

enough:

automatically

enough:

stood

enough:

up

enough:

to

enough:

follow

enough:

them

enough:

when

enough:

Celine had

enough:

grabbed

enough:

his

enough:

arm

enough:

and

enough:

marched

enough:

straight

enough:

up

enough:

to

enough:

Barry,

enough:

the

enough:

monkey

enough:

locking

enough:

the

enough:

vehicle

enough:

as

enough:

he

enough:

looked

enough:

to

enough:

the

enough:

band.
Before

enough:

Barry

enough:

could

enough:

even

enough:

open

enough:

his

enough:

mouth,

enough:

Celine

enough:

nodded to

enough:

him. “Barry, I need your

enough:

room

enough:

key,”

enough:

Celine

enough:

replied.

enough:

She

enough:

glanced

enough:

back

enough:

at

enough:

the

enough:

groupie,

enough:

before

enough:

shaking

enough:

her

enough:

head. “Make

enough:

sure

enough:

nobody

enough:

comes

enough:

in.”
Barry

enough:

opened

enough:

his

enough:

mouth

enough:

to

enough:

say

enough:

anything,

enough:

but

enough:

froze

enough:

upon

enough:

seeing

enough:

Celine’s

enough:

expression.

enough:

Archie

enough:

was not

enough:

sure

enough:

what

enough:

the

enough:

monkey

enough:

saw

enough:

on

enough:

Celine’s

enough:

face,

enough:

but

enough:

within

enough:

seconds

enough:

he

enough:

nodded,

enough:

his

enough:

expression

enough:

turning

enough:

serious.

enough:

He

enough:

glanced

enough:

at

enough:

the

enough:

dashboard,

enough:

nodding

enough:

at

enough:

Celine

enough:

slowly

enough:

as

enough:

his

enough:

free

enough:

hand

enough:

began

enough:

to

enough:

dig

enough:

into

enough:

his

enough:

pocket

enough:

for

enough:

the

enough:

keys.
“OK,” Barry

enough:

said.

enough:

He

enough:

plopped

enough:

a

enough:

motel

enough:

key

enough:

in

enough:

her

enough:

hand. “I

enough:

have

enough:

a

enough:

bathrobe

enough:

in

enough:

the

enough:

bathroom,

enough:

feel

enough:

free

enough:

to

enough:

use

enough:

that.”
And

enough:

with

enough:

this,

enough:

Barry

enough:

moved,

enough:

doing

enough:

final

enough:

equipment

enough:

checks

enough:

on

enough:

the

enough:

bus.

enough:

Archie

enough:

swallowed

enough:

in

enough:

fear,

enough:

but

enough:

before

enough:

he

enough:

could

enough:

do

enough:

anything

enough:

else,

enough:

Celine

enough:

pulled

enough:

on

enough:

his

enough:

wrist

enough:

again,

enough:

and

enough:

before

enough:

he

enough:

knew

enough:

it

enough:

she

enough:

had

enough:

pulled

enough:

him

enough:

to

enough:

Barry’s

enough:

room,

enough:

opened

enough:

the

enough:

door,

enough:

and

enough:

sat

enough:

him

enough:

down

enough:

on

enough:

the

enough:

bed.

enough:

She

enough:

patted

enough:

his

enough:

shoulders

enough:

gently,

enough:

and

enough:

said

enough:

something

enough:

about

enough:

being

enough:

right

enough:

back.

enough:

Archie’s

enough:

blood

enough:

was

enough:

too

enough:

thick

enough:

for

enough:

him

enough:

to

enough:

respond

enough:

at

enough:

this

enough:

point,

enough:

and

enough:

so

enough:

the

enough:

hedgehog

enough:

sat

enough:

down,

enough:

remaining

enough:

frozen

enough:

in

enough:

place.

enough:

What

enough:

else

enough:

would

enough:

she

enough:

do

enough:

to

enough:

him

enough:

that

enough:

would

enough:

remind

enough:

him

enough:

of…

enough:

of

enough:

what

enough:

happened.

enough:

What

enough:

else

enough:

would

enough:

she…?
But

enough:

when

enough:

she

enough:

exited

enough:

the

enough:

bathroom (wait,

enough:

when

enough:

had

enough:

she

enough:

gone

enough:

in?)

enough:

with

enough:

two

enough:

glasses

enough:

of

enough:

water

enough:

and

enough:

a

enough:

bathrobe

enough:

on

enough:

her

enough:

arm,

enough:

Archie

enough:

blinked.

enough:

He

enough:

found

enough:

himself

enough:

looking

enough:

at

enough:

Celine

enough:

in

enough:

surprise,

enough:

before

enough:

she

enough:

held

enough:

one

enough:

of

enough:

the

enough:

glasses

enough:

out

enough:

to

enough:

him.
“Here,

enough:

drink

enough:

this,”

enough:

she

enough:

said. “Seems

enough:

you

enough:

need

enough:

it.”
Archie

enough:

moved

enough:

almost

enough:

on

enough:

autopilot,

enough:

taking

enough:

the

enough:

glass

enough:

from

enough:

Celine

enough:

and

enough:

downing

enough:

it

enough:

almost

enough:

in

enough:

one

enough:

chug.

enough:

Celine

enough:

shook

enough:

her

enough:

head,

enough:

before

enough:

she

enough:

drank

enough:

of

enough:

her

enough:

own

enough:

glass

enough:

and

enough:

set

enough:

it

enough:

down

enough:

on

enough:

the

enough:

nightstand.

enough:

She

enough:

glanced

enough:

to

enough:

the

enough:

window,

enough:

before

enough:

walking

enough:

to

enough:

it

enough:

and

enough:

closing

enough:

the

enough:

blinds.

enough:

When

enough:

she

enough:

did,

enough:

she

enough:

held

enough:

her

enough:

hands

enough:

together

enough:

and

enough:

walked

enough:

back

enough:

towards

enough:

the

enough:

bed.
The

enough:

next

enough:

thing

enough:

Archie

enough:

felt

enough:

was

enough:

the

enough:

bathrobe

enough:

covering his

enough:

shoulders.

enough:

Celine’s

enough:

touch

enough:

was

enough:

delicate

enough:

and

enough:

dainty

enough:

as

enough:

she

enough:

laid

enough:

it

enough:

there. “It is

enough:

not winning

enough:

any

enough:

seamstress

enough:

awards,”

enough:

Celine

enough:

began,

enough:

looking

enough:

up

enough:

at

enough:

him. “But

enough:

I

enough:

figure

enough:

you

enough:

need

enough:

the

enough:

modesty.”
Archie

enough:

blinked

enough:

in

enough:

surprise,

enough:

realizing

enough:

that

enough:

he

enough:

indeed

enough:

had

enough:

not

enough:

changed

enough:

into

enough:

something

enough:

covering

enough:

his

enough:

groin.

enough:

Instinctively

enough:

he

enough:

pulled

enough:

the

enough:

bathrobe’s

enough:

cloth

enough:

over

enough:

his

enough:

groin,

enough:

only

enough:

then

enough:

feeling

enough:

a

enough:

small

enough:

amount

enough:

of

enough:

relief.

enough:

He

enough:

sighed,

enough:

and

enough:

then

enough:

turned

enough:

to

enough:

look

enough:

at

enough:

Celine.
When

enough:

he

enough:

did,

enough:

he

enough:

was

enough:

greeted

enough:

not

enough:

by

enough:

the

enough:

angry

enough:

face

enough:

of

enough:

someone

enough:

who

enough:

hated

enough:

crashing

enough:

his

enough:

mood,

enough:

but

enough:

the

enough:

face

enough:

of

enough:

someone

enough:

genuinely

enough:

looking

enough:

at

enough:

him

enough:

with

enough:

concern.

enough:

He

enough:

thought

enough:

back

enough:

to

enough:

the

enough:

faces

enough:

of

enough:

every

enough:

other

enough:

person

enough:

he had

enough:

worked

enough:

with,

enough:

and

enough:

never

enough:

had

enough:

he

enough:

gotten

enough:

anything

enough:

as

enough:

gentle

enough:

as

enough:

what

enough:

Celine

enough:

gave

enough:

him

enough:

there.
“Celine?”

enough:

Archie

enough:

asked.
The

enough:

marten

enough:

swallowed,

enough:

sitting

enough:

on

enough:

the

enough:

bed

enough:

across

enough:

from

enough:

him. “It…

enough:

It

enough:

wasn’t

enough:

just

enough:

the

enough:

newness

enough:

of

enough:

being

enough:

blown

enough:

on-stage,

enough:

was

enough:

it?”

enough:

she

enough:

asked.
Archie

enough:

paused,

enough:

swallowing

enough:

as

enough:

he

enough:

glanced

enough:

to

enough:

the

enough:

side.

enough:

His

enough:

jaw

enough:

worked,

enough:

trying

enough:

to

enough:

find

enough:

a

enough:

way

enough:

to

enough:

vocalize

enough:

exactly

enough:

what

enough:

it

enough:

was.

enough:

He’d

enough:

been

enough:

in

enough:

this

enough:

conversation

enough:

countless

enough:

times

enough:

before,

enough:

and

enough:

he

enough:

knew

enough:

exactly

enough:

what

enough:

would

enough:

set

enough:

these

enough:

people

enough:

off.

enough:

Celine

enough:

would

enough:

yell

enough:

at

enough:

him

enough:

like

enough:

all

enough:

the

enough:

others,

enough:

maybe

enough:

say

enough:

he

enough:

was

enough:

weak…
But

enough:

when

enough:

he

enough:

glanced

enough:

at

enough:

Celine’s

enough:

soft

enough:

orange

enough:

eyes,

enough:

he

enough:

saw

enough:

nothing

enough:

but

enough:

concern

enough:

on

enough:

them.

enough:

This

enough:

was

enough:

a

enough:

different

enough:

beast

enough:

from

enough:

what

enough:

he

enough:

was

enough:

used

enough:

to

enough:

seeing

enough:

from

enough:

a

enough:

band

enough:

member

enough:

seeing

enough:

him

enough:

in

enough:

this

enough:

state,

enough:

and

enough:

it

enough:

made

enough:

Archie

enough:

pause,

enough:

his

enough:

limbs

enough:

defrosting

enough:

for

enough:

the

enough:

first

enough:

time

enough:

since

enough:

that

enough:

hand

enough:

slid

enough:

under

enough:

his

enough:

balls.
And

enough:

so,

enough:

he

enough:

breathed

enough:

in. “I…

enough:

I, uh…”
But

enough:

then,

enough:

old

enough:

fears

enough:

took

enough:

hold,

enough:

and

enough:

he

enough:

looked

enough:

down

enough:

to

enough:

the

enough:

ground. “F’get

enough:

it.”

enough:

He

enough:

exhaled. “Just

enough:

here

enough:

on

enough:

this

enough:

bloody

enough:

tour.

enough:

I’ll

enough:

see

enough:

it

enough:

through.”
Hopefully

enough:

that

enough:

would

enough:

get

enough:

her

enough:

to

enough:

leave

enough:

him

enough:

alone,

enough:

spare

enough:

him

enough:

the

enough:

rage.

enough:

Celine

enough:

sat there

enough:

regardless,

enough:

and

enough:

then

enough:

Archie

enough:

looked

enough:

up,

enough:

seeing

enough:

the

enough:

marten

enough:

raise

enough:

her

enough:

brow

enough:

in

enough:

that

enough:

quirky

enough:

way

enough:

yet

enough:

again,

enough:

leaning

enough:

forward.
Celine

enough:

exhaled,

enough:

and

enough:

Archie

enough:

could

enough:

see

enough:

her

enough:

shake

enough:

some

enough:

tension

enough:

out

enough:

of

enough:

her

enough:

shoulders. “That…

enough:

That

enough:

was

enough:

not

enough:

quite

enough:

what

enough:

I

enough:

asked,”

enough:

she

enough:

said,

enough:

her

enough:

voice

enough:

clearly

enough:

trying

enough:

to

enough:

relay

enough:

harsh

enough:

words

enough:

as

enough:

gently

enough:

as

enough:

she

enough:

could. “There

enough:

was…

enough:

something

enough:

else

enough:

behind

enough:

what

enough:

happened,

enough:

wasn’t

enough:

there?”
Archie

enough:

frowned,

enough:

turning

enough:

away

enough:

from

enough:

her

enough:

so

enough:

he

enough:

could

enough:

look

enough:

away

enough:

from

enough:

those

enough:

damned

enough:

eyes. “And

enough:

if

enough:

there

enough:

was?”

enough:

he

enough:

asked.
Celine

enough:

nodded.

enough:

She

enough:

paused,

enough:

holding

enough:

her

enough:

paws

enough:

together

enough:

and

enough:

maintaining

enough:

an

enough:

impassive

enough:

face. “If

enough:

it

enough:

was…”
She

enough:

then

enough:

stood

enough:

up,

enough:

and

enough:

Archie

enough:

heard

enough:

her

enough:

footpaws

enough:

touch

enough:

against

enough:

the

enough:

carpet

enough:

softly.

enough:

She

enough:

breathed

enough:

in

enough:

softly,

enough:

holding

enough:

her

enough:

paws

enough:

before her

enough:

nose

enough:

as

enough:

if

enough:

to

enough:

pray.
“I’m

enough:

sorry.

enough:

Normally

enough:

we’re

enough:

better

enough:

about

enough:

stopping

enough:

that

enough:

before

enough:

it

enough:

gets

enough:

out

enough:

of

enough:

hand.”
This

enough:

comment

enough:

completely

enough:

threw

enough:

Archie

enough:

off

enough:

guard;

enough:

of

enough:

all

enough:

the

enough:

things

enough:

that

enough:

Celine

enough:

could

enough:

have

enough:

said,

enough:

this

enough:

was

enough:

the

enough:

absolute

enough:

last

enough:

one

enough:

Archie

enough:

expected.

enough:

There

enough:

was

enough:

no

enough:

rage,

enough:

no

enough:

malice

enough:

behind

enough:

it;

enough:

just

enough:

a

enough:

quiet

enough:

voice,

enough:

expressing…

enough:

an

enough:

apology?
Archie

enough:

frowned,

enough:

turning

enough:

towards

enough:

Celine

enough:

as his

enough:

eyes

enough:

widened

enough:

in

enough:

disbelief. “You…

enough:

you

enough:

aren’t

enough:

angry?”

enough:

he

enough:

asked.
Celine

enough:

frowned,

enough:

turning

enough:

back to Archie. “Pourquoi serais-je en colére?” she asked. She

enough:

then

enough:

paused,

enough:

before

enough:

clearing

enough:

her

enough:

throat. “Ah, pardon me. I forgot I’m

enough:

not

enough:

in

enough:

Quebec.”
“No,

enough:

I

enough:

understood

enough:

ya.”

enough:

And

enough:

as

enough:

he

enough:

said

enough:

this,

enough:

Archie

enough:

sighed,

enough:

feeling

enough:

almost

enough:

all

enough:

of the tension

enough:

leave

enough:

his

enough:

shoulders. “Just…

enough:

You’re

enough:

really

enough:

not

enough:

angry?”
“No.”

enough:

Celine

enough:

shook

enough:

her

enough:

head,

enough:

walking

enough:

back

enough:

over

enough:

to

enough:

Archie. “Now

enough:

the

enough:

real

enough:

question

enough:

is;

enough:

are

enough:

you

enough:

OK?”
And

enough:

Archie

enough:

swallowed;

enough:

in

enough:

all

enough:

his

enough:

years

enough:

in

enough:

this

enough:

industry,

enough:

nobody

enough:

had

enough:

ever

enough:

thought

enough:

to

enough:

ask

enough:

this.

enough:

Now

enough:

that

enough:

it

enough:

was

enough:

Celine

enough:

who

enough:

asked,

enough:

Archie

enough:

felt

enough:

a

enough:

shudder

enough:

run

enough:

through

enough:

his

enough:

whole

enough:

body;

enough:

even at

enough:

his

enough:

age,

enough:

he

enough:

never

enough:

thought

enough:

someone

enough:

would

enough:

show

enough:

that

enough:

level

enough:

of

enough:

concern.

enough:

But there

enough:

she

enough:

was;

enough:

young

enough:

Celine,

enough:

twenty

enough:

years

enough:

his

enough:

junior,

enough:

was

enough:

the

enough:

one

enough:

who’d done

enough:

what

enough:

he’d

enough:

wished

enough:

so

enough:

many

enough:

had

enough:

asked.
Archie

enough:

shook

enough:

his

enough:

head. “No,”

enough:

he

enough:

said. “No,

enough:

luv, I’m not.”
Celine

enough:

nodded. “Do

enough:

you

enough:

want to

enough:

talk

enough:

about

enough:

what

enough:

happened?”

enough:

she

enough:

asked.
Archie

enough:

looked

enough:

up

enough:

at

enough:

Celine,

enough:

his

enough:

jaw

enough:

shaking

enough:

as

enough:

he

enough:

weighed

enough:

his

enough:

options. “I…

enough:

I dunno, luv.”

enough:

His

enough:

hands

enough:

shook

enough:

from

enough:

the

enough:

unfamiliar

enough:

sensation. “It’s…”
But

enough:

Celine

enough:

simply

enough:

sat

enough:

on

enough:

the

enough:

opposite

enough:

bed,

enough:

regarding

enough:

him

enough:

with

enough:

an

enough:

impassive

enough:

but

enough:

concerned

enough:

expression.

enough:

Notably,

enough:

Archie

enough:

noticed

enough:

she

enough:

still

enough:

maintained

enough:

a

enough:

respectful

enough:

distance.

enough:

He

enough:

had

enough:

not

enough:

quite

enough:

expected

enough:

this

enough:

from

enough:

someone

enough:

who’d

enough:

ridden

enough:

a

enough:

dildo

enough:

of the

enough:

frontman’s

enough:

dick

enough:

in

enough:

front

enough:

of

enough:

a

enough:

live

enough:

audience

enough:

late

enough:

in

enough:

the

enough:

show,

enough:

but

enough:

seeing

enough:

her

enough:

maintain

enough:

this

enough:

distance…
Strangely,

enough:

he

enough:

felt

enough:

safe.

enough:

And

enough:

so,

enough:

he

enough:

breathed

enough:

in,

enough:

closing

enough:

his

enough:

eyes. “Y’could

enough:

call

enough:

it

enough:

child’ood

enough:

trauma,

enough:

I

enough:

guess,”

enough:

he

enough:

said. “One

enough:

of

enough:

my

enough:

aunts,

enough:

she…”

enough:

And

enough:

then,

enough:

he

enough:

glanced

enough:

down,

enough:

shaking

enough:

his

enough:

head

enough:

as

enough:

the

enough:

words

enough:

caught

enough:

in

enough:

his

enough:

throat.
Celine

enough:

nodded,

enough:

experimentally

enough:

putting

enough:

her

enough:

hand

enough:

on

enough:

his

enough:

shoulder.

enough:

When

enough:

Archie

enough:

did not

enough:

flinch,

enough:

she

enough:

began

enough:

to

enough:

rub

enough:

his

enough:

arm

enough:

delicately. “You

enough:

don’t

enough:

have

enough:

to

enough:

say

enough:

anything

enough:

else,”

enough:

she

enough:

said.

enough:

She

enough:

sighed,

enough:

bowing

enough:

her

enough:

head. “I’m

enough:

sorry

enough:

she

enough:

did

enough:

that

enough:

to

enough:

you.”
Archie

enough:

shook

enough:

his

enough:

head,

enough:

closing

enough:

his

enough:

eyes. “Thanks,

enough:

luv,”

enough:

he

enough:

said. “I

enough:

just…”

enough:

He

enough:

exhaled,

enough:

grabbing

enough:

his

enough:

elbow. “I’m

enough:

gettin’

enough:

old,

enough:

y’know?

enough:

You’d

enough:

think

enough:

I’d

enough:

get

enough:

over

enough:

somethin’

enough:

like

enough:

that

enough:

by

enough:

now.

enough:

I

enough:

was

enough:

just

enough:

a

enough:

damn

enough:

kid,

enough:

and

enough:

I’ve

enough:

talked

enough:

to

enough:

all ‘em

enough:

therapists

enough:

what the

enough:

kids

enough:

want

enough:

ya

enough:

to

enough:

do,

enough:

so

enough:

why…?”
Celine

enough:

exhaled,

enough:

shaking

enough:

her

enough:

head. “From

enough:

how

enough:

I

enough:

understand

enough:

it,

enough:

the

enough:

trauma

enough:

never

enough:

fully

enough:

goes

enough:

away,”

enough:

she

enough:

said. “You

enough:

can

enough:

process

enough:

it,

enough:

sure,

enough:

but

enough:

some

enough:

folks

enough:

just…

enough:

relive

enough:

it

enough:

sometimes.”
“Ya

enough:

tellin’

enough:

me

enough:

this

enough:

now?”

enough:

Archie

enough:

chuckled

enough:

sardonically.

enough:

He

enough:

exhaled. “They

enough:

said

enough:

therapy

enough:

was

enough:

supposed

enough:

to

enough:

cure

enough:

this.

enough:

Far

enough:

as

enough:

I’m

enough:

concerned,

enough:

they ‘aven’t

enough:

done

enough:

a

enough:

thing

enough:

to

enough:

cure

enough:

me…”

enough:

He

enough:

sighed,

enough:

glancing

enough:

down. “What

enough:

all

enough:

do

enough:

I

enough:

have

enough:

to

enough:

do?”
Celine

enough:

shrugged. “For

enough:

me,

enough:

what

enough:

I

enough:

found

enough:

was

enough:

that

enough:

sometimes,

enough:

it is

enough:

about

enough:

who

enough:

you

enough:

surround

enough:

yourself

enough:

with,”

enough:

she

enough:

said.

enough:

She

enough:

exhaled. “Nobody’s

enough:

ever

enough:

let

enough:

you

enough:

just…

enough:

step

enough:

away

enough:

from

enough:

something

enough:

like

enough:

that,

enough:

have

enough:

they?”
“No,”

enough:

said

enough:

Archie.

enough:

He

enough:

glanced

enough:

down. “This

enough:

is

enough:

the

enough:

first

enough:

time

enough:

in

enough:

nearly

enough:

twenty

enough:

years

enough:

of

enough:

workin’

enough:

this

enough:

industry.”
“Nobody

enough:

else

enough:

cared?”

enough:

Celine

enough:

asked.
Archie

enough:

shook

enough:

his

enough:

head. “If

enough:

I

enough:

ever

enough:

said

enough:

I

enough:

was uncomfortable,

enough:

the

enough:

frontmen

enough:

just… yelled

enough:

at me like I’d

enough:

killed their first-born.”
Celine

enough:

nodded. “Well,

enough:

now

enough:

I

enough:

have

enough:

something

enough:

to

enough:

tell

enough:

Barry

enough:

about

enough:

why

enough:

you

enough:

got

enough:

the ‘difficult

enough:

to

enough:

work

enough:

with’

enough:

comments,”

enough:

she

enough:

replied.
Despite

enough:

himself,

enough:

Archie

enough:

could not help the chuckle. “C’mon, Celine, ya don’t believe ‘em,

enough:

do

enough:

ya?”
“I

enough:

didn’t

enough:

believe

enough:

it

enough:

after

enough:

our

enough:

first

enough:

rehearsal,

enough:

and

enough:

I definitely

enough:

don’t

enough:

believe

enough:

it

enough:

now,”

enough:

said

enough:

Celine.

enough:

She

enough:

exhaled. “What

enough:

I

enough:

see

enough:

now

enough:

is

enough:

a

enough:

wounded

enough:

man

enough:

who’s

enough:

never

enough:

been

enough:

able

enough:

to

enough:

surround

enough:

himself

enough:

with

enough:

people

enough:

that

enough:

gave

enough:

him

enough:

space

enough:

when

enough:

he

enough:

was

enough:

clearly

enough:

hurting.”

enough:

She

enough:

gently

enough:

massaged

enough:

Archie’s shoulders. “I

enough:

know

enough:

that

enough:

sometimes,

enough:

being

enough:

in

enough:

situations

enough:

like

enough:

this

enough:

can

enough:

be

enough:

retraumatizing.

enough:

The

enough:

inability

enough:

to

enough:

walk

enough:

away

enough:

just

enough:

reminds

enough:

you

enough:

of

enough:

the

enough:

helplessness,

enough:

oui?”
Archie

enough:

paused,

enough:

considering

enough:

Celine’s

enough:

words.

enough:

In

enough:

all

enough:

the

enough:

time,

enough:

he

enough:

had

enough:

never

enough:

thought

enough:

of

enough:

it

enough:

like

enough:

that;

enough:

after

enough:

all,

enough:

this

enough:

was

enough:

just

enough:

what

enough:

was

enough:

expected

enough:

of

enough:

the

enough:

rock

enough:

world,

enough:

right?

enough:

But

enough:

the

enough:

more

enough:

he

enough:

thought

enough:

about

enough:

what

enough:

Celine

enough:

said,

enough:

the

enough:

more

enough:

it threw

enough:

past

enough:

experiences

enough:

into

enough:

fresh

enough:

relief;

enough:

the

enough:

way his

enough:

performance

enough:

issues

enough:

manifested,

enough:

the

enough:

way

enough:

he’d

enough:

just

enough:

lay

enough:

in

enough:

bed

enough:

quietly,

enough:

the

enough:

way

enough:

he’d

enough:

shut

enough:

down

enough:

for

enough:

weeks

enough:

at

enough:

a

enough:

time

enough:

after

enough:

a

enough:

particularly

enough:

intense

enough:

orgy…
The

enough:

hedgehog

enough:

felt

enough:

a

enough:

stream

enough:

of

enough:

tears

enough:

rush

enough:

down

enough:

his

enough:

cheeks,

enough:

and

enough:

he

enough:

nodded. “I…

enough:

I

enough:

guess

enough:

so,”

enough:

he

enough:

said.

enough:

He

enough:

shook

enough:

his

enough:

head. “Y’must

enough:

think

enough:

I’m

enough:

some kind

enough:

o’ bellend.”
But

enough:

Celine

enough:

shook

enough:

her

enough:

head. “No,

enough:

no,”

enough:

she

enough:

said.

enough:

She

enough:

gently

enough:

squeezed

enough:

Archie’s

enough:

arm. “The

enough:

world

enough:

rarely

enough:

lets

enough:

men

enough:

heal

enough:

from

enough:

things

enough:

like

enough:

that.

enough:

You,

enough:

Archie,

enough:

cannot

enough:

be

enough:

blamed

enough:

for

enough:

that.”
Archie

enough:

sighed,

enough:

rubbing

enough:

his

enough:

arm

enough:

and

enough:

letting

enough:

the

enough:

thoughts

enough:

swirl

enough:

in

enough:

his

enough:

head.

enough:

There

enough:

was

enough:

so

enough:

much

enough:

to

enough:

think

enough:

about,

enough:

so

enough:

much

enough:

that

enough:

he

enough:

could not

enough:

really

enough:

put

enough:

his

enough:

finger

enough:

on

enough:

any

enough:

one

enough:

thought.

enough:

And

enough:

so,

enough:

he

enough:

closed

enough:

his

enough:

eyes,

enough:

concentrating

enough:

on

enough:

the

enough:

way

enough:

Celine’s

enough:

pawpads

enough:

felt

enough:

against

enough:

his

enough:

arm,

enough:

the

enough:

way

enough:

they

enough:

pressed

enough:

in

enough:

ever

enough:

so

enough:

gently in a

enough:

soothing

enough:

motion.
Archie

enough:

exhaled,

enough:

his

enough:

expression

enough:

placid

enough:

as

enough:

he

enough:

wiped

enough:

some

enough:

tears

enough:

from

enough:

his

enough:

face. “So,

enough:

y’did

enough:

this

enough:

by

enough:

yourself,

enough:

hm?”
“Yes,”

enough:

said

enough:

Celine.

enough:

She

enough:

rubbed

enough:

his

enough:

arm

enough:

softly. “I

enough:

do not

enough:

think Taneli and the

enough:

twins

enough:

saw what

enough:

you

enough:

were

enough:

dealing

enough:

with.”

enough:

She

enough:

then

enough:

leaned

enough:

forward. “But

enough:

that

enough:

does not

enough:

mean

enough:

they

enough:

don’t

enough:

care.”
Archie

enough:

exhaled,

enough:

glancing

enough:

to

enough:

the

enough:

side. “I…

enough:

I

enough:

feel

enough:

like

enough:

he

enough:

might ‘ave

enough:

a

enough:

problem,”

enough:

he

enough:

said.
“Then we’ll

enough:

speak

enough:

to

enough:

him

enough:

at

enough:

breakfast

enough:

tomorrow,”

enough:

Celine

enough:

offered.

enough:

She

enough:

leaned

enough:

a

enough:

little

enough:

closer. “And

enough:

if

enough:

you’re

enough:

worried,

enough:

I’ll

enough:

be

enough:

there

enough:

to

enough:

act

enough:

as

enough:

mediator,

enough:

yes?”
With

enough:

this,

enough:

Celine

enough:

pressed

enough:

her

enough:

pawpads

enough:

gently.

enough:

For

enough:

once,

enough:

with

enough:

such a

enough:

contact,

enough:

he

enough:

felt

enough:

nothing

enough:

but

enough:

warmth,

enough:

and

enough:

the

enough:

genuine

enough:

kindness

enough:

behind

enough:

the

enough:

action.

enough:

For

enough:

once,

enough:

Archie

enough:

found

enough:

himself

enough:

relaxing,

enough:

and

enough:

then

enough:

nodded.
“OK,”

enough:

he

enough:

said.

enough:

He

enough:

turned

enough:

back

enough:

to

enough:

Celine. “I’ll

enough:

talk

enough:

with ‘im,

enough:

then.”
“Alright.”

enough:

Celine

enough:

nodded

enough:

slowly. “We’ll

enough:

figure

enough:

this

enough:

out

enough:

together.”
----**----
When

enough:

Taneli

enough:

sat

enough:

him

enough:

and

enough:

Celine

enough:

down

enough:

at

enough:

breakfast

enough:

the

enough:

next

enough:

morning,

enough:

Archie

enough:

mentioned

enough:

to Taneli

enough:

most

enough:

of

enough:

what

enough:

he

enough:

told

enough:

Celine,

enough:

and

enough:

then

enough:

found

enough:

himself

enough:

able

enough:

to

enough:

go

enough:

into

enough:

details

enough:

he

enough:

hadn’t

enough:

told

enough:

her.

enough:

He

enough:

had not

enough:

mentioned

enough:

it

enough:

was

enough:

Aunt

enough:

Lydia

enough:

this

enough:

time,

enough:

but

enough:

he

enough:

got

enough:

the

enough:

sense

enough:

Taneli

enough:

could

enough:

get

enough:

the

enough:

implication

enough:

from

enough:

how

enough:

hard he

enough:

was

enough:

shaking

enough:

in

enough:

the telling.
“…and

enough:

it’s just been

enough:

a

enough:

lot

enough:

to

enough:

take

enough:

in.

enough:

Every

enough:

other

enough:

band

enough:

I have

enough:

played

enough:

with

enough:

expects

enough:

me

enough:

to ‘andle

enough:

the

enough:

groupie

enough:

bit

enough:

just

enough:

fine,

enough:

but…”

enough:

Archie

enough:

shook

enough:

his

enough:

head,

enough:

looking

enough:

at

enough:

the

enough:

floor. “It’s

enough:

so

enough:

hard

enough:

to

enough:

go

enough:

with

enough:

it

enough:

when

enough:

you

enough:

just…

enough:

you just

enough:

flash back

enough:

there, y’know?”
“I

enough:

do.”

enough:

Taneli

enough:

nodded

enough:

solemnly,

enough:

pushing

enough:

his

enough:

plate

enough:

away

enough:

from

enough:

him

enough:

gently. “Perkele…”

enough:

He

enough:

then

enough:

looked

enough:

to

enough:

Archie. “I’m

enough:

so

enough:

sorry.”

enough:

He

enough:

bowed

enough:

his

enough:

head

enough:

to

enough:

the

enough:

ground. “If

enough:

I’d have

enough:

known

enough:

about

enough:

this,

enough:

I

enough:

wouldn’t

enough:

have

enough:

directed

enough:

anything

enough:

I

enough:

did

enough:

on

enough:

that

enough:

stage.”
Archie

enough:

exhaled. “I

enough:

could’a

enough:

told ya that too,” he said.
Taneli

enough:

shook

enough:

his

enough:

head. “That

enough:

does not

enough:

excuse

enough:

anything

enough:

I

enough:

did,”

enough:

he

enough:

said.

enough:

He

enough:

leaned

enough:

towards

enough:

Archie. “I

enough:

should

enough:

have

enough:

watched

enough:

your

enough:

body language

enough:

more

enough:

carefully.

enough:

I

enough:

should’ve

enough:

watched

enough:

your

enough:

face.

enough:

I

enough:

should’ve…”

enough:

He

enough:

exhaled,

enough:

pulling

enough:

his

enough:

head

enough:

into

enough:

his

enough:

hands

enough:

and

enough:

sighing. “I’m

enough:

so

enough:

sorry,

enough:

Archie.”
Archie

enough:

exhaled,

enough:

looking

enough:

at

enough:

Taneli

enough:

with

enough:

an

enough:

impassive

enough:

expression.

enough:

Truthfully,

enough:

Archie

enough:

felt

enough:

a

enough:

little

enough:

uncomfortable

enough:

by

enough:

how

enough:

apologetic

enough:

Taneli

enough:

was.

enough:

At

enough:

the

enough:

very

enough:

least,

enough:

though,

enough:

that

enough:

initial

enough:

discomfort

enough:

went

enough:

away;

enough:

seeing

enough:

Taneli

enough:

like

enough:

this,

enough:

the

enough:

hedgehog

enough:

appreciated

enough:

that

enough:

at

enough:

the

enough:

very

enough:

least,

enough:

this

enough:

would

enough:

not

enough:

turn

enough:

out

enough:

like

enough:

every

enough:

other

enough:

time

enough:

Archie

enough:

found

enough:

himself

enough:

in

enough:

this

enough:

situation.
Archie

enough:

exhaled,

enough:

moving

enough:

his

enough:

hands. “And

enough:

look,

enough:

it ain’t

enough:

about

enough:

the

enough:

playin’

enough:

on

enough:

stage

enough:

nude,”

enough:

he

enough:

said. “It’s

enough:

just… I dunno,

enough:

mate.

enough:

Ya wouldn’t

enough:

know

enough:

the

enough:

half

enough:

of

enough:

it,

enough:

with

enough:

the

enough:

few

enough:

times

enough:

I

enough:

did

enough:

endin’

enough:

with

enough:

the

enough:

whole

enough:

lot

enough:

of ‘em

enough:

sayin’

enough:

I

enough:

spoiled

enough:

the

enough:

fun.

enough:

After

enough:

enough

enough:

of

enough:

that,

enough:

well…”

enough:

He

enough:

exhaled. “I

enough:

hope

enough:

that

enough:

makes

enough:

sense.”
Taneli

enough:

nodded. “It

enough:

does,”

enough:

the

enough:

penguin

enough:

said. “You

enough:

said

enough:

this

enough:

feeling

enough:

began

enough:

when

enough:

she

enough:

was

enough:

on-stage

enough:

grabbing

enough:

your

enough:

balls?”

enough:

he

enough:

asked.
Archie

enough:

bowed

enough:

his

enough:

head. “Yeah,”

enough:

he

enough:

said.

enough:

He

enough:

sighed. “Everythin’

enough:

until

enough:

that

enough:

point

enough:

was

enough:

fine.”
“I

enough:

see.”

enough:

Taneli

enough:

sighed,

enough:

placing

enough:

his

enough:

claws

enough:

together.

enough:

After

enough:

a

enough:

few

enough:

more

enough:

seconds

enough:

of

enough:

pondering,

enough:

Taneli nodded. “I

enough:

should

enough:

have

enough:

remembered

enough:

the

enough:

number

enough:

one

enough:

rule

enough:

of

enough:

BDSM

enough:

would

enough:

apply

enough:

to

enough:

situations

enough:

without

enough:

physical

enough:

violence,

enough:

too,”

enough:

said

enough:

Taneli. “Let’s

enough:

fix

enough:

that. How

enough:

about…

enough:

holding

enough:

your

enough:

fist

enough:

to

enough:

cheek

enough:

if

enough:

you’re

enough:

not

enough:

comfortable?”
Archie

enough:

frowned. “You’re

enough:

just…

enough:

doin’

enough:

that?”

enough:

he

enough:

asked. “Just

enough:

like

enough:

that?”
“Yes,”

enough:

Taneli

enough:

replied. “Put

enough:

it

enough:

there,

enough:

and

enough:

I

enough:

will

enough:

stop

enough:

whatever is

enough:

happening.”
Archie

enough:

paused,

enough:

his

enough:

eyes

enough:

widening

enough:

in

enough:

shock

enough:

as

enough:

he

enough:

looked

enough:

at

enough:

the

enough:

penguin’s

enough:

face. “That’s…”

enough:

He

enough:

exhaled,

enough:

feeling

enough:

his

enough:

eyes

enough:

water.
Taneli

enough:

put

enough:

his

enough:

hands

enough:

together. “Being

enough:

gay

enough:

in

enough:

Berlin

enough:

taught

enough:

me

enough:

more

enough:

than

enough:

a

enough:

few

enough:

things,”

enough:

he

enough:

said. “Namely,

enough:

how

enough:

to

enough:

listen.”

enough:

He

enough:

leaned

enough:

towards

enough:

Archie. “If

enough:

you

enough:

do

enough:

put

enough:

your

enough:

fist

enough:

there,

enough:

I

enough:

will

enough:

never

enough:

ask

enough:

you

enough:

to

enough:

explain

enough:

yourself

enough:

to

enough:

me

enough:

after.”
Archie

enough:

felt

enough:

a

enough:

tear

enough:

slide

enough:

past

enough:

his

enough:

cheek,

enough:

and

enough:

he

enough:

breathed

enough:

in

enough:

softly,

enough:

looking

enough:

into

enough:

Taneli’s

enough:

deep

enough:

crimson

enough:

eyes. “I…”

enough:

Archie

enough:

nodded. “OK.”
Taneli

enough:

nodded,

enough:

leaning

enough:

towards

enough:

Archie

enough:

again. “And

enough:

I

enough:

know

enough:

I’ve

enough:

said

enough:

it

enough:

a

enough:

lot,

enough:

but…

enough:

I’m

enough:

sorry

enough:

I

enough:

put

enough:

you

enough:

in

enough:

that

enough:

position.

enough:

I’m

enough:

going to

enough:

make

enough:

this

enough:

right.”
Archie

enough:

looked

enough:

into

enough:

Taneli’s

enough:

eyes,

enough:

and

enough:

saw

enough:

how

enough:

they

enough:

sparkled

enough:

sadly.

enough:

Archie

enough:

had

enough:

already

enough:

begun

enough:

to

enough:

like

enough:

Taneli

enough:

because

enough:

of

enough:

how

enough:

sincere

enough:

the

enough:

kid

enough:

was,

enough:

but

enough:

he’d

enough:

never

enough:

thought

enough:

he

enough:

would

enough:

be

enough:

so

enough:

responsible

enough:

as

enough:

well.

enough:

In

enough:

that

enough:

moment,

enough:

Archie

enough:

thought

enough:

to

enough:

all

enough:

the

enough:

other

enough:

lead

enough:

singers

enough:

of

enough:

bands

enough:

he had

enough:

worked

enough:

with,

enough:

and

enough:

found

enough:

not

enough:

even

enough:

one

enough:

he

enough:

could

enough:

think

enough:

of

enough:

that

enough:

had

enough:

treated

enough:

him

enough:

quite

enough:

like

enough:

this.
The

enough:

hedgehog

enough:

finally

enough:

smiled,

enough:

bringing

enough:

a

enough:

hand

enough:

up

enough:

to

enough:

Taneli’s

enough:

wrist

enough:

and

enough:

squeezing it

enough:

gently. “We’ll

enough:

make

enough:

this

enough:

right

enough:

together,

enough:

bruv,”

enough:

he

enough:

said. “Thank you.”
Taneli nodded. “It’s only

enough:

right.”

enough:

He

enough:

then

enough:

peeled

enough:

back,

enough:

looking

enough:

up

enough:

at

enough:

Archie. “Now,

enough:

is

enough:

there

enough:

anything

enough:

else

enough:

you

enough:

want to

enough:

know?”
Archie

enough:

nodded. “What

enough:

the

enough:

bloody

enough:

hell

enough:

is

enough:

up

enough:

with

enough:

Berlin?”

enough:

he

enough:

asked. “You

enough:

and

enough:

Celine

enough:

both

enough:

said

enough:

somethin’

enough:

about

enough:

that.”
“Ah,

enough:

right!”

enough:

Taneli

enough:

grinned,

enough:

leaning

enough:

back

enough:

and

enough:

crossing

enough:

his

enough:

arms. “Berlin

enough:

is

enough:

a

enough:

very,

enough:

shall

enough:

I

enough:

say...

enough:

kinky

enough:

space.”

enough:

He

enough:

leaned

enough:

forward. “There

enough:

is

enough:

a lot

enough:

of

enough:

BDSM

enough:

that

enough:

happens in

enough:

some

enough:

of

enough:

their

enough:

clubs,

enough:

and,

enough:

well…”

enough:

Taneli

enough:

leaned

enough:

forward. “I

enough:

have

enough:

stories.

enough:

Including

enough:

the

enough:

time

enough:

that

enough:

Kanji

enough:

fisted

enough:

someone

enough:

for

enough:

the

enough:

first

enough:

time.”
Archie

enough:

reared

enough:

back. “Y’mean

enough:

that

enough:

monster fit ‘is

enough:

whole

enough:

hand

enough:

up

enough:

a

enough:

bum!?”

enough:

he

enough:

asked

enough:

in

enough:

disbelief.
Taneli

enough:

grinned,

enough:

leaning

enough:

forward. “Let

enough:

me

enough:

tell

enough:

you

enough:

what

enough:

happened

enough:

with

enough:

that,

enough:

you

enough:

might

enough:

find

enough:

it

enough:

interesting

enough:

for

enough:

this

enough:

conversation!”
----**----
Breakfast

enough:

passed

enough:

without

enough:

any

enough:

further

enough:

incident,

enough:

and

enough:

so,

enough:

too,

enough:

did

enough:

their

enough:

next

enough:

stop

enough:

in

enough:

Cincinnati.

enough:

Of

enough:

course,

enough:

it

enough:

helped

enough:

that

enough:

their

enough:

gig

enough:

there

enough:

was

enough:

fully

enough:

clothed,

enough:

giving

enough:

Archie

enough:

the

enough:

space

enough:

to

enough:

get

enough:

used

enough:

to

enough:

the

enough:

idea

enough:

of

enough:

just…

enough:

putting

enough:

his

enough:

fist

enough:

by

enough:

his

enough:

face

enough:

to

enough:

put

enough:

a

enough:

stop

enough:

to

enough:

the

enough:

whole

enough:

thing.

enough:

It

enough:

was

enough:

such

enough:

a

enough:

wild

enough:

idea,

enough:

but

enough:

the

enough:

question

enough:

remained

enough:

about

enough:

whether

enough:

it

enough:

would

enough:

be

enough:

respected

enough:

or

enough:

not.
Thus,

enough:

they

enough:

arrived

enough:

in

enough:

Chicago,

enough:

where

enough:

they

enough:

really

enough:

got

enough:

to

enough:

put

enough:

that

enough:

to

enough:

the

enough:

test.

enough:

It

enough:

was

enough:

the

enough:

exact

enough:

same

enough:

set

enough:

as

enough:

before,

enough:

although

enough:

this

enough:

time

enough:

Taneli

enough:

took

enough:

less

enough:

time

enough:

to

enough:

pull

enough:

someone

enough:

up

enough:

to

enough:

the

enough:

audience

enough:

amid

enough:

the

enough:

waves

enough:

of

enough:

Kanji’s synth

enough:

patch.

enough:

This

enough:

time,

enough:

it

enough:

was a

enough:

rather

enough:

middle-aged

enough:

that

enough:

salivated

enough:

over

enough:

Archie’s cock;

enough:

the

enough:

hedgehog

enough:

was

enough:

far

enough:

less

enough:

bothered

enough:

by

enough:

the

enough:

fact

enough:

this

enough:

alpaca

enough:

was

enough:

male

enough:

than

enough:

he

enough:

thought

enough:

he

enough:

would

enough:

be,

enough:

and

enough:

indeed,

enough:

he

enough:

actually

enough:

had

enough:

a

enough:

pretty

enough:

cute

enough:

face.
A

enough:

face

enough:

that

enough:

soon

enough:

had

enough:

planted

enough:

itself

enough:

on

enough:

his

enough:

dick.

enough:

As

enough:

before,

enough:

Archie

enough:

felt

enough:

that

enough:

strange

enough:

sense

enough:

of

enough:

togetherness

enough:

with

enough:

sexual

enough:

euphoria,

enough:

with

enough:

wet

enough:

mouth

enough:

on

enough:

his

enough:

dick

enough:

combining

enough:

with

enough:

the

enough:

way

enough:

Hiro

enough:

rolled

enough:

his cymbal

enough:

this

enough:

time,

enough:

how

enough:

that

enough:

made

enough:

the

enough:

tempo

enough:

fluctuate

enough:

in

enough:

his

enough:

ears.

enough:

Of

enough:

course,

enough:

this

enough:

alpaca

enough:

had

enough:

a

enough:

harder

enough:

time

enough:

keeping

enough:

his

enough:

mouth

enough:

open,

enough:

and

enough:

so

enough:

moved

enough:

up

enough:

innocently,

enough:

and—
—back

enough:

there

enough:

it

enough:

was

enough:

again,

enough:

the

enough:

black

enough:

timber

enough:

walls

enough:

closing

enough:

in,

enough:

and…

enough:

and…
Archie

enough:

froze,

enough:

but this time

enough:

he

enough:

looked

enough:

to

enough:

Taneli

enough:

as

enough:

he

enough:

plucked

enough:

away

enough:

automatically.

enough:

This

enough:

time,

enough:

the

enough:

singer

enough:

saw it,

enough:

though,

enough:

and

enough:

as

enough:

he

enough:

continued

enough:

singing,

enough:

he

enough:

brought

enough:

his

enough:

hand

enough:

up,

enough:

fist

enough:

at

enough:

the

enough:

level

enough:

of

enough:

his

enough:

cheek,

enough:

and

enough:

rose his

enough:

brows to

enough:

Archie.
…Right!
Archie’s

enough:

hand

enough:

unfastened

enough:

itself

enough:

from

enough:

the

enough:

neck

enough:

of

enough:

his

enough:

instrument,

enough:

his

enough:

own

enough:

fist

enough:

coming

enough:

to

enough:

the

enough:

level

enough:

of

enough:

his

enough:

cheek

enough:

as

enough:

he

enough:

plucked

enough:

a

enough:

few

enough:

idle

enough:

notes.

enough:

The

enough:

first

enough:

thing

enough:

he

enough:

was

enough:

thankful

enough:

for

enough:

was

enough:

that

enough:

the

enough:

distortion

enough:

was

enough:

on

enough:

enough

enough:

that

enough:

people

enough:

would

enough:

not

enough:

really

enough:

know

enough:

which

enough:

note

enough:

it

enough:

was

enough:

to

enough:

begin

enough:

with.
But

enough:

the

enough:

second

enough:

one,

enough:

was

enough:

Taneli

enough:

swooping

enough:

in,

enough:

pulling

enough:

the

enough:

alpaca’s

enough:

mouth

enough:

off

enough:

his

enough:

dick

enough:

for

enough:

a

enough:

second,

enough:

and

enough:

then

enough:

pulling

enough:

him

enough:

onto

enough:

his

enough:

own

enough:

dick

enough:

and

enough:

thrusting

enough:

down

enough:

to

enough:

the

enough:

throat.

enough:

He heard

enough:

the

enough:

alpaca’s

enough:

appreciative

enough:

moan

enough:

as

enough:

the

enough:

Prince

enough:

Albert

enough:

hit

enough:

the

enough:

back

enough:

of

enough:

his

enough:

throat,

enough:

Taneli

enough:

grinning

enough:

at

enough:

the

enough:

audience

enough:

as

enough:

he

enough:

began

enough:

to

enough:

thrust

enough:

in

enough:

earnest.
But

enough:

mid-thrust,

enough:

Taneli

enough:

took

enough:

an

enough:

opportunity

enough:

to

enough:

glance

enough:

back

enough:

at

enough:

Archie,

enough:

and

enough:

even

enough:

as

enough:

he

enough:

worked

enough:

his

enough:

usual

enough:

showman

enough:

act,

enough:

Archie

enough:

thought

enough:

he

enough:

could

enough:

see

enough:

something

enough:

kind

enough:

in

enough:

the

enough:

way

enough:

the

enough:

penguin

enough:

looked

enough:

at

enough:

him.

enough:

For

enough:

a

enough:

second,

enough:

he

enough:

saw

enough:

the

enough:

act

enough:

fade

enough:

away,

enough:

and

enough:

there

enough:

was

enough:

Taneli

enough:

the

enough:

friend,

enough:

Taneli

enough:

the

enough:

singer,

enough:

raising

enough:

a

enough:

brow

enough:

and

enough:

pausing.
All

enough:

at

enough:

once,

enough:

Archie’s shoulders

enough:

loosened.

enough:

He

enough:

brought

enough:

his

enough:

hand

enough:

right

enough:

back

enough:

up

enough:

to

enough:

the

enough:

neck

enough:

of

enough:

his

enough:

bass,

enough:

and

enough:

struck

enough:

a

enough:

chord,

enough:

the

enough:

signal

enough:

that

enough:

all

enough:

was

enough:

OK.
Taneli

enough:

nodded, and

enough:

then throatfucked

enough:

the

enough:

alpaca

enough:

right

enough:

there.

enough:

Archie

enough:

thought

enough:

it

enough:

strange

enough:

that

enough:

the

enough:

sexual

enough:

act

enough:

before

enough:

him

enough:

still

enough:

went

enough:

on

enough:

as

enough:

if

enough:

nothing

enough:

happened,

enough:

but

enough:

at

enough:

that

enough:

moment,

enough:

he

enough:

found

enough:

it

enough:

hard

enough:

to

enough:

care;

enough:

he

enough:

had

enough:

said

enough:

no,

enough:

and

enough:

instead

enough:

of

enough:

being

enough:

met

enough:

with

enough:

a

enough:

rant

enough:

Taneli

enough:

had

enough:

acted

enough:

swiftly

enough:

to

enough:

protect

enough:

him.
The

enough:

feeling

enough:

made

enough:

his

enough:

dick

enough:

throb,

enough:

but

enough:

more

enough:

than

enough:

that

enough:

he

enough:

slid

enough:

back

enough:

into

enough:

the

enough:

music.

enough:

And

enough:

so,

enough:

Archie

enough:

lost

enough:

himself

enough:

back

enough:

in

enough:

a

enough:

complicated

enough:

time

enough:

signature

enough:

change,

enough:

one

enough:

punctuated

enough:

not

enough:

by

enough:

the

enough:

cymbal

enough:

crash,

enough:

or

enough:

Celine’s

enough:

solo,

enough:

or

enough:

Taneli

enough:

letting

enough:

the

enough:

sounds

enough:

of

enough:

the

enough:

alpaca

enough:

gagging

enough:

on

enough:

his

enough:

piercing

enough:

ring

enough:

through

enough:

the

enough:

hall,

enough:

but

enough:

by

enough:

all

enough:

of

enough:

these

enough:

things,

enough:

wrapping

enough:

around

enough:

him

enough:

as

enough:

he

enough:

plucked

enough:

at

enough:

his

enough:

bass

enough:

guitar

enough:

and

enough:

added

enough:

a

enough:

little

enough:

something

enough:

of

enough:

himself

enough:

to

enough:

the

enough:

whole.
