Kelso York

I’ve never.

Are you gonna be alright, mate? You need anything?

It wouldn’t bother me. Sounds like you are the kind of person who has a lot of energy. Maybe that’s why you don’t sleep much. Your brain doesn’t want to go slow or something. I’m kind of like that too. But I crash out most nights. You really don’t mind coming over. I don’t want to put you out or anything. It’s late and everything. Not much. I’ve got some muscle relaxers, but I try not to take those. 

Good to know. Yeah that sounds about right actually, I always end up burning through it after a few days though, then I sleep like a baby. Not at all, handsome. I’m up and moving around anyway, besides I fall asleep better with the tv on, and a handsome boy beside me. I’ll be over soon for movie night, is there anything you’d like me to pick up? 

You know, you can come over here if you want to. I know you and Eddie mean a lot to each other and you don’t gotta worry about me. And maybe you’d sleep better if you got a chance to be with him in bed. You can totally tell me to shut it, if I’m talking about things I shouldn’t. My leg is, well it’s fucked up. Nerve damage mostly. It cramps up sometimes is all. It’s not that bad. 

I’d probably end up keeping you both up if I did that, I move around the villa quite a bit when I’m restless like this, do my best cooking in the middle of the night, it gets pretty loud, but that might just be because my place is all empty and quiet. No, no you’re alright, I don’t mind you talking about it at all. I’m a worrier, and it’s important to me that you’re comfortable. Maybe I could come over anyway and we could watch a movie, take your mind of it a little. Is there anything that usually makes it feel better? 

Why’s that? You must get pretty tired then. Oh, just my leg. It usually lets me sleep, but tonight not so much. 

Bad habit, mostly. It’s not terrible, I can usually make it through the day on a few hours of sleep. Oh? Why isn’t it letting you sleep, if you don’t mind me asking?

Private: It didn’t feel like what was best, because you were suddenly not in my life and I don’t see how that can ever be for the best. But I know it was your decision to make and not my own, I just…I can’t help but be selfish and hate that you were gone and I couldn’t be with you anymore. It was awful Kelso. 

PM: You weren’t being selfish, sweetheart. I wanted so bad to be part of your life, you have such a big heart, Eddie, with the potential to love so many people, and even though you would have never cast me aside, I still couldn’t put you in the position to choose. I’m sorry I left without saying anything, I thought i was doing the right thing by both of us, but I shouldn’t have come to that conclusion on my own. We should have talked. 

You’re welcome. Yeah, kind of. Some nights are like that you know? Looks like you’re up late too. 

Yeah, I’m up all hours of the night most of the time, I don’t tend to get all eight hours of beauty sleep very often. Is there a reason you’re having a hard time going to sleep? 

I mean, you practically scream Prince Charming and with that whole saving me from boredom deal you’ve kind of just got a trust worthy face, if that makes any sense at all - if not I blame a lack of sleep. Well for starters I have a bad habit of making a complete disaster of any attempt to flirt, show interest and don’t even get me started on asking for a date. Disaster. Plus you all look like super models and I play video games in sweatpants and am about the same size as a Hobbit, it’s like we’re two different species. Now you’re just trying to make me get all bashful, but trust me you haven’t heard my puns yet. They’re enough to make you want to reconsider how lucky they would be. I feel like you’re Officer Flirts A Lot at the Department of Compliments, I’m gonna have to hide my face under my blanket at this rate if you keep it up. 

I think it’s just all the hair product and scruff. As for swooping in and rescuing you from boredom, I have to say that my intentions aren’t completely unselfish, I've been in need of spending time with a gorgeous boy. I’d hardly say that I’m super model material, but yeah, everyone on the island looks like they’ve been photoshopped, it’s ridiculous. And that’s including you, handsome. Trying? I thought it was already working, I guess I have to put forth a bit more of an effort. I highly doubt it. I’ll do my best to refrain from complimenting you too much, can’t deprive the rest of the island of that beautiful face just because I can’t help myself. Alright, that was the last one, I promise. At least for a little bit.

Private: So, your company is in someone else’s hands until you can find someone to claim you? That can’t be easy, I just…I understand why you left and I can even understand wanting to make things easier for me and you’re right I couldn’t claim a third person. But I would have never tossed you to the side Kelso, I could never do that. You were…you are beyond important to me, I would have done everything to have you in my life for good. 

PM: It’s what was best. And I know that you wouldn’t have, Eddie, you’re a good man. But that doesn’t change the fact that you wouldn’t have been able to claim me, and I need a claim, I can’t go back home without one. I just... I just don’t see how it would have been possible. 

Hey man, I’d probably happily get paid to stay here if it meant I got access to those beaches so it’s okay, plus you’ve got one of those trustworthy faces. I know, it’s like is there something in the water here? Everyone looks like they live at the gym or model in their spare time. I’m pretty sure I already have a crush on like five guys here already, which is gonna be real bad for my ego. What? Oh, no! No, I didn’t mean you’re making me uncomfortable. Not all, like the total opposite. I’m just gonna be babbling a little more and red in the cheeks if you keep these compliments up, I’m not exactly used to them.

A trustworthy face, huh? I gotta say, that’s the first time I’ve heard that one. At least about my face. You’re going to have to elaborate and tell my why that’d be bad for your ego. Any one of them would be lucky to be with you, it’d be there loss entirely, I promise. Well in that case, i’m going to have to work on that, can’t have you thinking your anything less than gorgeous, love. 

Private: Then what happened, did something happen to you? Are you okay, I just…I need to understand why. People have left me before in the past Kelso and it just…it never gets easier and I never wanted it to be you. I would have found a way to make it work, I would never choose one person over another and keep them out of my life. I could never give you up like that. 

PM: No, nothing happened to me, I’m fine. It just got hard, doing this job and running my family’s company from here, I had to go back for a while, I had to find someone to take my place there until I get a claim. I’m sorry, Eddie, I never wanted to hurt you. You would have had to eventually. You wouldn’t have been able to claim the three of us.

Private: Alaric left around the same time as well, both of you without a word - it was egotistical of me to assume it was to do with me why you left but I guess it turns out it was because of me, at least for you. I wasn’t confused Kelso, not even for a damn moment when it came to you. Part of me is angry and upset with you, but an even bigger part of you just wants to hold you and not let go.

PM: Me leaving, it didn’t have anything to do with you, Eddie. I didn’t think Alaric would leave too, I thought that you would claim him and Tommy, and that the three of you would be just fine together. I know that, what I meant is that I didn’t want to complicate things for you. At the time, I saw that there was going to be a choice for you to make and that claiming me wasn’t going to be the logical one. 

I mean I get the scared thing, not gonna lie I was pretty sure I was about to pass out from nerves when I got the plane to come here. But still with view like that how could you not recommend this place? So what about you, do you give a thumbs up and your seal of approval of this place? Woah, I…okay you can’t just call me that and expect me not to become a babbling idiot. Not sure I’ve ever been called a beautiful boy before, at least not by a guy like you before so excuse me while I try to wrap my brain around it and flail awkwardly. 

Yeah I’d say Orenda gets my seal of approval, and not just because I get paid to say that. The people are friendly and unfairly good-looking, not to mention that we have some pretty awesome trips and events here. I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable, I tend to say things sometimes without thinking it through entirely. 

Private: One moment you were there, the next you were gone.

PM: My intention was always to come back, Eddie, I swear. I just figured... that you’d be fine. You had Tommy and Alaric, that was two submissives, I didn’t want to confuse anything for you. But I should have said something before I left, I’m sorry I didn’t. 

Really? People aren’t stoked about this place? Not sure I get that, I mean those beaches and that ocean. Plus someone told me there are hot springs around here, frickin’ hot springs. This place has everything, I should fail to get a claim more often if this happens. I’m not sure, I mean it’s not like a bad kind of anxiety or anything. When I get excited I just…can’t really sit still, I’m sort of like a dog when they’ve been told they’re going for a walk and they’re pretty much bouncing on the spot by the door. That’s me in a nutshell, which probably explains my ghost town of a dating life. Never thought I’d get a compliment for stalking someone, not that I’m used to guys who are a solid ten giving me compliments in general so it’s a good thing you can’t see my reaction in person. I’m rambling aren’t I? Okay I’ll try to cut that out, I’m Max by the way. Can I get a name for my stalking victim or do you have a title you prefer to go by? I mean, I might forget it once in a while in fair warning.

We get a lot of mixed reviews around here, some people love it, I think others just get a little scared, ya know? Well hey, don’t go selling yourself short, you’re a beautiful boy, Max, I think the compliment was very well deserved. Just a little, but I don’t mind, keeps the conversation interesting. If you ever get a little stif crazy in there, staff members are allowed to escort people around, I’d be more than happy to break you out of your cage for a while whenever you’d like. I have quite the strange sleep schedule myself. Kelso, no title necessary.
