Chapter 7 - callus doesn't remember

[this is the version where he didn't remember anything- ]

when callus opened his eyes his memories

they were gone - and there was someone there but he couldn't recognize their face

"who are you?" Callus replied

"It's me Callus your lover-" he replied

"lover?- I- don't have a lover - wait do I? no I couldn't possibly- but I can't remember who you are-" he replied

"But you do Callus- come on remember what you told me? the heart remembers-" he replied

"the heart remembers?" Callus replied

"even if you can't remember who I am I know that you can feel it- I'm inside your heart-" he replied

"I-I- I can try but can you tell me who you are?" Callus replied

"I'm Xavier your husband-" he replied

"I'm married? and to a man, not a woman?" Callus replied

"ha Cal it's like the 30th century that kind of thing is more common- though there are still some people who are stuck in that phase- but they aren't as many as there used to be" he replied [basically it's the opposite of homophobic straights are a phase - hetrophobic]

"Oh-I see-" Callus replied

"though some people have both a wife and husband- or multiple-" he replied

"I see and that's important why?" Callus replied

"because you have another husband-" he replied

"Oh-" Callus replied

"Yeah-" he replied

"so what's his name?" Callus asked

"Malik- he was your lover before me-" he replied

"and do you have another lover?" Callus asked

"Nope but I used to-" he replied

"Oh what was their name?" Callus asked

"Lorain-" he replied

"so what happened to her?" Callus asked

"she found another lover a wife- and I fell for you we both loved someone else- we just didn't realize that at first-" he replied

"I see- so how did Malik come into the picture?" Callus replied

"Well after- you thought that I left you on purpose you found him - well more like he found you- he ended up falling for you- again

he had a past that he had barried- and he wanted you to be with me but you continued to choose him over and over again" he replied

"so how did I end up with you both?" Callus asked

"Well you realized that you loved us both and you couldn't choose so- you didn't- well you chose us both-" he replied

"so can you tell me more?" Callus replied

"mhm I can tell you everything- well not everything but most of it-" he replied

"why not everything?" Callus replied

"because you're not ready for that yet-" he replied

"oh-what ever it is I'm sure I can handle it-" Callus replied

"maybe but not now Cal- I can't really talk about it either- at least not yet-" he replied

"I see I can wait-" Callus replied

"you sure Cal? you won't like it-" he replied

"Even so I still want to know everything-" Callus replied

"alright I will-" he replied

"Thank you Zavi for everything" Callus replied

"what did you just call me?" he replied

"Zavi? you called me Cal- and Zavi- is short for Xavier-" Callus replied

[also how would you say Xavi? Zavi just sounds better]

"Yeah- I guess-" he replied

"You're alright with me calling you that?" Callus asked

"of course Cal it's what you called me before-" he replied

"Oh- well then -Zavi- can you tell me more about us?" Callus replied

"I'll tell you everything as I said before- but not all at once- and you can ask anything you want- and I'll answer-" he replied

"Alright I want to go back- to when we first met-can tell me how we met?-" he asked

"We can do that-" Zavi replied

"How did we meet?" Callus asked again

"Well you're cousin introduced us and I was going to marry her but things changed the moment I met you-" he replied

"So you didn't really want to marry her?" Callus asked

"No I mean yes I did but-" he replied

"You were just using her?" Callus asked again

"No Cal- I didn't know what love was and I thought that I had loved her- but you showed me that-" he replied

"I showed you that?" Callus asked

"Yeah I- I mean yes you did-" Zavi said again

"Alright can you tell me more?" Callus asked

again

"I can tell you anything-" Zavi replied

"Good I wanted to know too-" Callus replied

"What do you want to know?" Zavi asked

"Everything-" Callus replied

Zavi couldn't help but smile at that.

"Alright, can we talk about anything else?" Callus asked

"Sure-" Zavi replied

"Like what?"

"I don't know- anything- ask me something-" Zavi replied

"Like what?" Callus asked again

"I don't know anything you could ask-" Zavi replied

"Alright then can we talk about our relationship?" Callus asked

"How was it? Well it was great at first- it was amazing- and I can't even put it into words-"

he replied

"But something happened?" Callus asked

"Yeah things started to get bad about a year after we met- I can't really go into details but it had to do with the fact that I wasn't the only one involved-" he replied

"who else was involved?" Callus asked

"Malik- I mentioned him earlier- he was only the half of the reason though-" he replied

"What do you mean?" Callus asked

"He was apart of the reason things got so bad between us- he wanted to break us apart but the rest of it was just us even without him interfering in our relationship- we were toxic for eachother-we both used eachother- we both hurt eachother really bad-" he replied

"I don't understand-" Callus said

"We were both emotionally and physically abusive- to eachother- and it was only getting worse-" "I'm sorry but how could you have done that?" Callus asked

"I - we were both really messed up- we didn't know how to communicate with eachother-

you never once told me when you wanted me to stop- you said you would but you never did-

and you had hurt me in the past - and when you found out things had gotten worse you hurt me badly-" he replied

"how could you forgive me then?" Callus asked

"because I loved you, and you changed for the better- and I almost lost you again- but

then you were finally open and honest with me and apologized for everything- so I gave you another chance- and I thought that you be happy with me- but- then came in Malik-

you also loved him- and that's why I allowed him to be apart of this- I'm getting sidetracked I love you-" he replied

"I love you too-" Callus said

"And I want to make you happy- and I think that this is going to make you happy" he replied

"It is?" Callus asked "You really think so?"

"I know so, now if you want to know anything else- just ask-" Zavi said

"Can I touch your scars?" Callus asked

"my scars?" he asked "Yeah-" Callus replied as he slowly touched the scars on Zavi's back "I love you too-" he replied kissing his neck

"Me too-" Zavi said as he wrapped his arms around Callus and gently peck his lips

Callus felt the warmth of being loved

he was glad that he was loved but how long would it all last? Well, you know fate is not what it seems or is it?
