Welcome to My World
You looked into his empty coffee cup and frowned. He pushed out of his chair and sauntered off to the kitchen for a refill where he stopped, leaned against the doorway, and watched the scene playing out before him.
Gackt stood at the sink rinsing the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. He closed the dishwasher and wiped his hands on a towel as he looked out the window over the sink. Shadows of clouds raced across the faint dusting of snow in the garden, chased by brilliant sunshine. Terra cotta planters sat in a row on the edge of the veranda, freshly planted with purple and yellow pansies that nodded in the breeze. Strings of pale lavender and white crystals swayed from the beams of the roof, sparkling in the sunlight and sending rainbows of color dancing against the house.
He felt strong arms wrap around him from behind, and breathed in the familiar, treasured scent of warmth and comfort and fun.
“I knew it was you who chased the clouds away,” Gackt said leaning back into the embrace. “Happy birthday, Kami. I thought you’d like them.”
”I love them. The flowers and crystals are beautiful. And look.”
Gackt watched two yellow butterflies light gently among the dancing flowers. “Your butterflies are early this year.”
”We couldn’t resist such a beautiful and generous gift,” Kami murmured into his ear.
You smiled to himself. He couldn’t see Kami, but he knew the drummer was there. He’d been a bit jealous at first when he’d find Gackt seemingly talking to himself, smiling and happy, or completely bereft and in tears, experiencing things that You could never know or do anything to help. But over the years he’d come to understand that Kami would always be a part of the singer’s life, as a lost loved one should always be. He made peace with that, and finally came to treasure the drummer’s presence as much as Gackt. He knew that whenever they could not be together, wherever Gackt went Kami was there to watch over him and protect him- mostly from himself.
“Happy birthday, Kami,” You said softly.
Gackt turned from the window at the sound, his face flushed in embarrassment. He smiled sheepishly and shrugged his shoulders.
You felt just a tiny, soft touch on his cheek and a gentle brush against his arm. He turned to look behind him and could have sworn he saw the shimmering translucent image of Kami walking away smiling, waving goodbye. ”Thank you, You-kun, for everything.”
You turned back to Gackt, a look of astonishment on his face. “Did I just see what I think I saw?”
Gackt grinned and nodded. “Welcome to my world.”
