Daniel turned off the television and sat back.
"He misses me?" He asked the empty hotel room around him.
He hadn't really meant to watch the documentary but, as he was flicking through the channels, he found it being shown on the 'in-house movie' channel and had been totally surprised.
"What kind of hotel would show this as an in-house movie?" He'd asked himself, shaking his head at it and thinking that it was, probably, the hotel's way of advertising who their guests were for the evening.
But all of that was in the past, now he had more important things to think about...like Darren.
Once again he felt his heartbeat get faster as he considered that maybe Darren cared for him as much as he, Daniel, cared for Darren.
Time and again he would feel this familiar sensation as Darren would sing to him on stage, or when he would touch him in some way or another, but most often, when he would smile at him.
When Darren smiled at him, he felt as though he was the most important person in Darren's life.
But time and again he'd have his feelings shattered as he watched Darren go through one girl after the other.
Why did he keep letting himself get hurt like this?
"Because you love him, Daniel." He answered himself out loud and cringed at the pain in his voice.
He'd known this from the second that Darren Stanley Hayes had walked into his life. The day that both of their lives had turned around.
It had been the voice he'd first fallen in love with but as he began to spend time with Darren, he knew it was the man that he loved.
His mind then wandered to the songs they'd written in their 8-year friendship, finally stopping at 'All Around Me'.
He'd lied to so many people about that song, his family, his friends...Darren. It was actually Darren that had started the whole thing. When they'd been working on the lyrics, Darren had just assumed it was about Meg Ryan and Daniel had just let the lie continue rather than expose his true feelings.
As he continued to think about Darren, the familiar ache began once again and suddenly he felt something wet sliding down his cheek.
"Shit!" He swore as he furiously wiped at the tear.
Why did he let Darren get to him so much?
Then, before he could stop himself, another tear fell, then another...and another.

"Hey, Dan, did you just see what they were showing on the in-house movie channel?" Darren asked as he burst into Daniel's hotel room, not bothering to knock.
Daniel's head shot up and the smile disappeared from Darren's face.
"What's wrong, Danny?" He then asked as he quickly hurried to the couch and sat himself down beside his mate.
"Uhh...nothing...there's something in my eye..." Daniel answered, refusing to look at Darren, knowing that if he did, he'd lose what little control he still had.
"Bullshit!" Darren replied and before he realised what he was doing, he reached out with his hand and wiped at one of the tears running down Daniel's cheek.
God how he hated to see Daniel like this, but he knew that if he were to comfort him the way he wanted to, it might ruin their partnership and even worse, their friendship.
If that happened, he didn't know how he'd be able to go on.
He didn't ever want to go back to a life without Daniel; he couldn't even imagine a life without him.
And how he ached to tell Daniel this...but he couldn't.
"What's wrong? I know there's something wrong," he then prodded, taking Daniel's face in his hands and turning it to face him.
"You know you've never been able to hide anything from me." He then added, looking deep into Daniel's beautiful eyes.

'That's what you think, Darren...' Daniel thought silently as he found himself trapped in Darren's gaze.
Then, as he continued to stare, he found himself unable to form any words, or even think of any, to offer as an explanation to Darren.
'Dammit, Darren, why did you have to come and be like this?' Daniel's mind screamed as he fought against the tears that were threatening to fall once more.
"I can't tell you..." He managed to say at last, finally breaking Darren's gaze as he jumped up and moved to the window.
'Fourteen floors...you could really do some damage jumping out of this window...' Daniel thought as he looked down at the ant-like people scurrying around below, going about their perfect little lives while he stood above them, his life and heart in turmoil.
As he stood there, he became aware of Darren slowly walking up behind him. He could sense him wherever he was...he'd always been able to.
But what he didn't expect was Darren's arm to go around his shoulder and pull him up against his hard, warm body.
He should have fought against it but instead he found himself snuggling up to that body, his own arms working themselves around it as he buried his face in the crook of Darren's neck.

"Daniel, you've always been able to tell me everything before." Darren said as he savoured the delicious sensation of Daniel in his arms.
How he'd dreamed of holding Daniel like this...
"Darren, get a grip...he's in pain!" He silently scolded himself.
"Please, Daniel, I want to help!" He pleaded as he felt a wetness against his naked throat.

'You are Darren, more than you ever thought you could.' Daniel thought as he let himself be held by Darren, be comforted by his angelic voice.
But finally, he knew it was time to pull back from Darren. He knew that if he remained like that, his heart wouldn't be able to take the rejection as it has so many times before.
"Uhh...it's just the stress of this touring and I miss my family," he then told Darren as he let go of him and took a step backwards, wiping at the tears on his face as he does so.

'Liar!' Darren thought as he looked at Daniel's face.
So many times he'd done this secretly, looked at Daniel's face over the top of a magazine or out of the corner of his eye and never had he seen it look so beautiful as it did now.
He felt his heart aching as he thought that this face would never really belong to him as much as he wanted it to.
Then, without realising what he was doing, his hand reached out and stroked Daniel's cheek, before cupping his chin and pulling his face closer to his own and before he knew it, his lips were on Daniel's, tasting the saltiness of the tears that had fallen over them.
"What are you doing, Darren?" His mind screamed at him suddenly and he got a look of panic in his eyes.
"Oh fuck! I'm so sorry!" Darren cried as he jumped back, almost knocking over a large antique lamp that stood behind him.

Daniel stood there in shock, his hand slowly moving to his mouth and running his fingertips over his tingling lips.
"Darren...?" He whispered as his eyes sought out Darren's from where he stood, trying to right the lamp behind him.

As he struggled with the lamp, he heard his name and his head shot up, finding himself staring right into Daniel's eyes.
"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have done that!" He apologised, the words just flowing from his lips without much thought.
"But I wanted to so badly!" His mind cried as he continued to stare at Daniel, his eyes trying to read Daniel's face.
"Daniel, say something please. Even if it's just to tell me to get out, say something!" Darren pleaded, his eyes still searching Daniel's face.

Daniel didn't answer Darren's pleas; instead he stepped towards Darren and pushed his lips against his, delighting against the feel of them once more.
Never had he ever imagined that he would be this daring but Darren's soft kiss seconds earlier had given him the strength he needed.
He let his lips rest there for a few seconds, waiting to see if Darren would do anything then he slowly opened his mouth and let his tongue beg for admittance to Darren's.

Darren opened his mouth almost instantly, allowing Daniel's tongue entrance and letting his own move to greet it.
Then, with a sigh, he began to move his lips harder against Daniel's and moved his hands to thread his fingers through Daniel's hair, pulling his face closer.

Daniel shivered with pleasure as he felt Darren's fingers tangle themselves in his hair, drawing his face closer and deepening the kiss he had dreamt of for so many years.
Day and night he'd fantasised about Darren's lips and he couldn't believe how perfect they felt against his. So soft, so masculine...so sensual.
"I've wanted this for so long..." He whispered against Darren's lips then he moved his hands to pull Darren's body closer to his, so close they were touching from head to foot.

Darren's ears barely picked up Daniel's whispered words but it didn't matter because his body was showing what his lips were saying.
Never in his life had he ever felt what he was feeling right now as his tongue danced with Daniel's.
"This is heaven...this is what love is." He thought as he moved his hands and ran them down the front of Daniel's shirt, letting them stop as he reached the hem of it.
Then, in one swift movement, the shirt was on the floor and Darren's hands were once more on Daniel's chest, his fingers gently tracing the contours of it.
Many a time he'd seen Daniel's naked chest and, every time, his fingers had just ached to touch it, to stroke it, to caress it in a way that only he could.
Now his wish had come true and he was doing it with Daniel's unspoken permission.

Daniel's whole body shivered as he felt Darren's fingertips caress his chest, leaving a trail of heat and longing wherever his hand moved.
As his mind focused on the trail Darren's hand was making, his mind suddenly wandered to a magazine interview he'd read on Daz and he found his own hands making their way under Darren's shirt, moving upwards to his nipples.

Before Daniel even touched Darren's nipples, Darren could sense what he was doing and he deepened the kiss, awaiting the moment of pleasure he was sure he would feel.
They'd always been sensitive before, but now, the thought of Daniel touching them was almost mind-blowing.
The intensity of such a soft touch was almost too much for Darren as he groaned against Daniel's hungry lips, his loins begin to stir, already growing painful.

Daniel revelled in the control he had suddenly gained over Darren by such a simple caress as he moved his lips to Darren's throat, licking and nipping at the soft warm flesh of his mate.
"Tell me what you want...Daz..." Daniel mumbled against his throat and smiled as he heard Darren growl softly.

"I think you already know..." Darren answered as he pushed his body more intimately against Daniel's, letting him feel just what he was doing to him.
He then listened to Daniel's husky laugh before letting out another growl as he felt his shirt being pushed up.
"Oh shit! You're teasing me..." He moaned as the fabric of his shirt rubbed against his passion hardened nipples.

"Am I?" Daniel asked innocently, his thoughts and actions becoming bolder with each moan from Darren's beautiful mouth.
Then, without waiting for a reply, he lowered his head and slipped his tongue out, flicking it at Darren's nipples, smiling at the reaction he caused in Darren.

Darren struggled not to scream as he felt Daniel's tongue flick at him and instead dug his fingers into Daniel's blond head, pulling his head as close as possible, begging for more contact.

Daniel took this as encouragement as he slowly began to suck on one of his nipples, rolling it around in his teeth.
Then, as he shifted his attention to the other one, he slowly walked Darren backwards, towards his waiting bed.
When he felt the bed bang against the back of his legs, Darren struggled to stay standing up right, not wanting to break the contact between Daniel and himself, not even for a second but, unfortunately, the decision was taken from him as he felt Daniel's arms on his shoulders, pushing him backwards.

Daniel watched as Darren fell back on the bed, his body suddenly becoming more inviting than ever.
Then, as he stood there, Daniel found himself looking over every inch of the Adonis lying in front of him.

As Daniel's eyes roamed over his body, Darren felt himself becoming more aroused as his body ached to be touched wherever Daniel's eyes fell.
"Please..." Darren whined softly as he reached an arm out for Daniel to take.

Daniel smiled at Darren's plea then slowly climbed on top of him, kissing his way from his stomach up to his lips, where his mouth mated passionately with Darren's hungry one.
As they kissed, Daniel became aware of Darren's hands moving to rest on the waistband of Daniel's pants, causing a shiver to run down Daniel's spine as he imagined Darren touching what those pants hid.
Losing himself in his fantasising, Daniel suddenly gasped as Darren ground his own erection against him.

Darren bit his lip as he once against ground his erection against Daniel, feeling almost devilish in his actions but not caring about anything but the feeling it was creating.
The kissing then grew more heated as Darren continued his movements and hands started moving everywhere, with the heat of the moment, touching, caressing, bringing moans from both parties.

As Daniel moved his hips against Darren's, he felt the need to touch him grow and before he could even think what he was doing, his hand was in Darren's pants, touching his hardness.

At first Darren was surprised at the warm hand on his erection. It was a strange feeling having another man touch him in such an intimate way but it was extremely arousing.
His thoughts then moved to who was touching him and he closed his eyes, moaning softly as he moved his hips against Daniel's hand, the pleasure shooting up and down his body.
"Oh yessss..." He groaned gritting his teeth as Daniel tightened his grip slightly.

Daniel found himself watching Darren's features as he gripped his hardness, squeezing it as he had only ever done to himself.
How strange it felt, feeling Darren move in his hand, hearing him moan in pleasure and knowing it was him that was causing it, knowing that he'd dreamt of this moment so many times.
Then, as Daniel continued his movements, he slowly began to move himself down Darren's body, kissing a hot trail.

Darren moaned loudly as Daniel kissed his way down his body, knowing what he was going to do and just aching for the pleasure he knew it would bring.
Finally Daniel reached his pants and within seconds, they, and his boxers, were on the floor, leaving his body naked before Daniel's eyes.

Daniel's eyes roamed once more over the naked body in front of him, his eyes quickly being drawn to Darren's hardness, sticking up and begging for Daniel's mouth, which is exactly what it was gonna get.
Daniel licked his lips slowly, smiling at the lust he saw in Darren's eyes, before slowly lowering his head, so slow that Darren was squirming under him, trying to raise his hips to speed up the process, only to have Daniel's hands push them back down again.

"Daniel..." Darren whined again as he felt his hips once more being pushed down.
It was torture knowing that Daniel's mouth was so close yet so far away.
"Please..." He begged then gasped as he felt Daniel's tongue, licking softly at the tip of his hardness, tasting some of his essence that had already begun to seep out.

Daniel licked again at Darren, smiling as his mate squirmed under the hands that were still holding him down.
He couldn't believe what he was doing but somehow, it just felt so right. Like he and Darren were destined to be together in this way.
With this thought running through his mind, Daniel took then entire length of Darren into his mouth, quickly adjusting to the strange feeling to suck gently on him.

Darren let out a loud moan as Daniel finally took him into his mouth. The moment he'd been waiting for, for so long, was happening and it felt so good.

He could tell Daniel knew what he wanted, knew exactly what made it feel good as he felt Daniel's fingers move up to fondle his sacs, sucking hard on Darren's cock as he slowly pulled his head backwards.
"Oh geezus!!!" Darren cried as Daniel once more took him into his mouth, continuing his fondling of his balls as he did so.

Daniel smiled at the obvious pleasure he was causing Darren as he found himself licking up more of Darren's precome, delighting in the sweetness of it.
He could tell by the movements of Darren, movements he'd made so many times himself, that it wouldn't be much longer before Darren would feel his release and this excited him. He began sucking harder, allowing Darren to thrust his hips upward to his mouth, and smiled as Darren let out moan after moan.

Darren couldn't believe the feelings that Daniel was bringing out in him. Never before had he felt so in ecstasy, like he was about to explode.
He began furiously fucking Daniel's mouth, his pleasure becoming so strong that his hands, that had grabbed handfuls of sheet, were pulling at them so forcefully that tears were beginning to appear in it.

Daniel almost laughed as he saw the tears...what would he tell the hotel staff??
"Who cares!" He thought to himself as he sucked on Darren, his tongue flicking at the tip once more.
Suddenly he heard Darren let out a loud scream and felt a thick substance shoot down his throat, having some slide down his chin as he struggled to drink it all up.

"Holy shit!" Darren cried as he felt his climax shoot through his entire body, the sheets finally giving into his torture and coming apart in his fists.
Never had he felt like that, never had it ever been that intense.


~Chapter Two~

Finally his breath returned to him and he reached down and grabbed Daniel's shoulders, pulling him up and rolling on top of him, crushing his lips to his.

Daniel gasped as he suddenly found himself under Darren, his lips being kissed hungrily, Darren's tongue forcefully pushing its way into his mouth.
He returned the kiss just as heatedly, mating his tongue with Darren's as he felt Darren's hand move down to his pants.
He could tell by Darren's movements that he was extremely turned on, even more than when he was giving him head, and this was in turn, exciting Daniel, knowing that he was the cause of this.
He wasn't sure what Darren was going to do but he had a feeling it was going to be good, and he wanted it.
He wanted Darren to give it to him.
For a few seconds he felt guilty about the emotions he was feeling for his band mate, feeling for another man.
What would people think? Would they treat him different?
But suddenly he didn't care. He loved Darren, he always had and maybe, just maybe, Darren loved him back.
He was where he'd always wanted to be...in Darren's arms.

Darren pulled back and looked at Daniel, sensing that something was different.
"What's wrong?" He asked, worried that he'd somehow gone too far.

Daniel looked up at Darren's face, smiling as he ran a finger down his cheek.
"Nothing...I was just thinking about how this all seems so right," Daniel answered, moving his fingers to softly caress Darren's full lips.

Darren smiled with relief then slowly poked his tongue out, licking at Daniel's fingertips and causing him to let out a husky laugh.
"It does, doesn't it?" He asked suddenly, pulling back and looking deep into Daniel's eyes.
Then, as Daniel nodded his head in agreement, Darren took one of his fingers into his mouth, sucking on it seductively, treating it as Daniel had treated his cock not that long ago.

Daniel gasped at the sensation. How could having your finger sucked on just feel so damn erotic??
'You're so turned on at the moment that anything'll do it for you,' his mind told him and he couldn't help but smile at the truth of it.

Soon sucking on Daniel's finger wasn't enough for him, he wanted a more sensual contact with the blond man beneath him.
Letting go of Daniel's finger, Darren then began to kiss him heatedly once more as his hand slowly made it's way down the length of Daniel's body, finally stopping at his pants and the treasure that lay within them.
Gently he undid the button and slid down the zipper, smiling as Daniel let out a moan against his lips.
He could feel Daniel's erection against his fingers as he undid the zipper and he found himself already fantasising how he would taste.

Daniel continued kissing Darren as he shut his eyes, enjoying the feeling of Darren's hands on him and longing for a more intimate touch.
Then, within seconds, his pants and boxers were gone and Darren was caressing his hard shaft, bringing an intense pleasure, one he'd never experienced before.
"Ohhhh..." He moaned as Darren wrapped his hand around his erection, kneading the hard flesh just enough to cause the pleasure without the pain.

Darren smiled at the expression on Daniel's face as he caressed him gently.
He liked having this effect on Daniel. He liked being the one to bring him pleasure.
Pulling back from Daniel, he sat up to watch his face as he continued squeezing him.
"Now...let's see what you taste like..." Darren mumbled then he began to move down his body, his mouth watering at the thought of having Daniel inside of it.

Daniel watched Darren move down his body then closed his eyes as he felt Darren's soft lips on him.
"This isn't happening..." He told himself but he was quickly told otherwise as Darren's tongue licked up and down the length of his hardness.
Suddenly Darren sat up, a serious expression on his face.
"What's wrong, Daz?" Daniel asked, looking at him in confusion.

Darren looked down at Daniel, he lips curving into one of those smiles that he saved just for Daniel.
"How would you feel about me fulfilling a dream??" Darren asked, smiling even more.
He then watched Daniel's face, trying to gauge his reaction to his question.

Daniel lay there silently, hoping that Darren was talking about his own dream.
Night after night, Daniel had fantasised about Darren making love to him and now that he thought it might actually come true, he became speechless.
Finally he just grabbed Darren and pulled him down into another one of their passionate embraces, pushing his erection against Darren, almost begging for him to do it.

Darren gave a husky laugh then rubbed his thumb over the tip of Daniel's cock, wiping up the moisture that had already collected there.
Then, looking into Daniel's eyes, he moved his thumb to Daniel's opening and began rubbing the liquid around it.

Daniel gasped in shock as he felt Darren's thumb pressing against him but, as Darren continued, Daniel began to get used to the feeling and let out a low moan.
Then, suddenly, he felt one of Darren's fingers push into his tight opening and his eyes opened wide. In doing this, he found himself looking straight into Darren's amazing blue ones, becoming hypnotised.
How long had he dreamt of staring into these eyes?

Darren then slid another finger inside, massaging the tight flesh, moistening it with Daniel's juices as he did so.
"Do you like that?" He whispered as he licked at Daniel's ear, smiling as he felt the blond man shiver beneath him.

Daniel found it hard to form words as he felt Darren's fingers, moving inside of him.
Instead he moved his hips, silently begging Darren for what he wanted the most... Darren could see it in Daniel's eyes. He could see that he was ready to take him. He was ready to be filled in the most erotic and pleasurable way.
So, slowly he rubbed some of his own essence on his shaft, lubricating it, and placed it at Daniel's opening.
"Just relax," he told Daniel as he gently pushed in.

'Relax?' Daniel's mind screamed as he felt Darren begin to enter him, 'How the hell can you relax when you're about to be fucked by your best mate??'
Taking a deep breath, he mentally tried to relax himself and as he did, he felt Darren slide further in.

"Am I hurting you?" Darren asked as Daniel said nothing, his silence worrying him.
He was struggling not to just thrust himself in fully, no matter how much he wanted to. He knew that he had to take this slowly.

Daniel shook his head then let out a low moan, moving his hips slightly, wanting Darren to fill him completely.
"I want you to hurt me..." He told him, staring into his eyes once more.
And he did! He wanted Darren to hurt him so bad.
He wanted Darren to give it to him raw and unbridled and that's exactly what he was going to do.
Suddenly he thrust his hips upwards, finally taking Darren fully inside his tight hole, crying out in pain then groaning as the pleasure took over.

"Shit, Daniel!" Darren cried as he sheathed him completely.
The sensation was amazing and the tightness of his mate was just agony. He wanted to fuck him senseless but he didn't want the sensation to end.
Instead he slowly pulled out then plunged back inside Daniel's warmth once more, bringing a melodic sound from Daniel's beautiful lips.

Daniel couldn't believe how good it felt having Darren deep inside him.
He dug his fingers into Darren's hips, guiding him once more inside him, wanting to be filled once more.
"Oh, yessssss..." He groaned as they moved against each other.

Darren tried hard not to let the pleasure get too much for him as he reached down to wrap a hand around Daniel's hardness.
He wanted Daniel to feel what he was feeling and he wanted Daniel to come with him as he had fantasised so many a time.

Daniel held back a cry as he felt Darren's hand on his hardness, squeezing him, bringing him as much pleasure as he was giving Darren.

As he continued his caresses, Darren began to speed up his pace and was soon slamming into Daniel's tightness as he felt his body nearing that 'little death'. He'd heard about it but had never experienced it or come close to...until now.
"Oh fuck!! This is gonna kill me!" He cried out as he felt his entire body tensing up.

Daniel closed his eyes tightly as Darren continuously slammed into him, showing him no mercy as he jerked Daniel with the same speed.
"Oh god, oh god, oh god!!!" He moaned as he felt himself nearing his own 'little death'.

Suddenly Darren let out a loud cry and felt himself explode inside of Daniel, his essence filling him completely.

"Oh, shit Darren!" Daniel cried as he felt his own release come over him, his own thick liquids flowing out to cover Darren's and his stomach and chest, and Darren's hand.

"Daniel..." Darren finally groaned as he felt his whole body just collapsing from the intensity of his orgasm.
Never had he experienced something so amazing.

Daniel lay there, under Darren, his breath still coming hard and fast, his body still tingling in the aftermath of the most intense climax he'd ever felt.
"I never knew it could be like that..." He mumbled softly, his fingers threading themselves through Darren's hair and gently tugging at it, feeling Darren smile against his chest.

"Neither did I..." Darren replied as he slowly sat up, looking down at his new lover.
Then, as he continued to look down at Daniel, he began to chuckle.

"What's so funny?" Daniel asked, a funny look on his face.
He'd never expected to see Darren laughing after such a passionate interlude.
"I was just laughing at the mess we've made." Darren answered and Daniel looked down, his own smile joining Darren's.
"We did, didn't we?" He said, smiling sheepishly as he sat up, watching as it began to slide down his stomach.

"You might wanna clean that up before it gets all sticky," Darren suggested, joining Daniel in watching it.
Then, suddenly, he leant forward and licked at a droplet with his tongue.

Daniel gasped in surprise then leant back as Darren continued to lick up the white liquid, his tongue leaving a hot trail all over Daniel's stomach and chest.
"Oh god, Darren..." Daniel sighed softly as he felt the pleasure begin to grow once more.
Then he lay down and run his fingers through his mate's hair.

Darren smiled as he felt Daniel's hands in his hair then he moved up to lay beside the man.
"Daniel, that was the most amazing sensation I've ever had..." Darren said softly, his hand trailing down Daniel's cheek.

Daniel sighed softly then moved to rest his chest on Darren's.
"It was the same with me..." He replied, moving to rest his head as well, listening to Darren's heartbeat.

As they lay there, Darren found himself thinking back over everything that had happened last hour or so that he'd been in Daniel's room.
He'd never felt so content as he did right now, lying with Daniel in his arms...where he knew he'd always belonged.
"Daniel..." He whispered softly and watched as Daniel turned his head to look at him.
"Yeah?" He asked.
"Why were you crying when I walked in?" Darren asked, his eyes looking deep into Daniel's.

Daniel quickly looked away and went silent as he thought of his answer.
Could he tell him? After all they'd just been through, would it be okay to say that he loved him?
Finally he made his decision and returned his gaze to Darren's.
"I watched the documentary and I heard what you said at the end. It made me wonder once more on your feelings for me. It made me wonder if...if you loved me as much as...as I love you." Daniel answered, his voice wavering as he said the last three words.

Darren looked at Daniel in surprise and felt his heart pound in his chest.
'He loves me!' He thought, the words going around and around in his head.
"Daniel, I've always loved you," he told him, placing his hand on his cheek.
"I've loved you since the moment I met you but I was always scared that if I showed you how I felt, that you would get scared." Darren told him, smiling softly.

"I would never have run..." Daniel said softly as he closed his eyes to the soft sensation of Darren's hand, slowly falling asleep with the gentleness of it.

Then, as he sat there, Darren thought on what he'd said on the documentary.
"I'll no longer miss you, Daniel, because you'll always be here, in my heart. Our lives will never be parallel again..." He whispered as he took Daniel's limp hand in his and pressed it against his beating heart.
