Sending something to Orlando
Oct. 24th, 2006 11:13 amWill frowned as he put the package in the mailbox. He hoped Orlando wouldn't find it too lame that he'd made him a mix CD. Two mix CDs, actually. Hopefully he'd accept them in the spirit they were made and not make too much fun. Kevin had usually sneered at Will's attempts at romance, thinking he was the only one who had the corner on that market. Still, Orli was different and even if he teased, Will knew he'd love every second.
The package contained two CDs in slim jewel boxes, along with the song listings, lyrics and a handwritten letter from Will:
O-
You've inspired me to do something I haven't done for anyone else (since college). You, my love, are getting not one, but two CDs from me, filled with songs that remind me of you and us and our situation in one way or another. I even got a little ambitious and made them an A to Z rendering of my feelings for you in song. :-) Mind you, it's extremely hard to find good X and Z songs, so... You can feel free to skip those.
I shared the first CD with Pete, and after he finished laughing and making fun, he proceeded to tell me I am officially the gayest man in the world. Maybe I am, so consider that your warning. I can admit there's a lot of sap there, but you know what? I can't help it and sometimes I just don't want to help it. I think about you and I want to say every romantic thing I can because I adore you. I love you, and all kidding aside, my sentiments are genuine.
Of course, Pete's little jab (actually, it was a very large, pointed stab filled with mocking laughter) did inspire me to make CD No. 2. Now, before you listen to it, place your tongue firmly in your cheek. That's where mine was when I was picking out the songs. I want to think about you laughing when you hear some of these because I love your laugh and... Well, I love your laugh and your smile and the fact that you can appreciate my goofy side.
By the way, I did resist the urge to make these all showtunes. I should get kudos for that. ;-)
Love,
W
