Talk About Us

Ezra woke up with a throbbing pain in his head and a somewhat bubbly feeling in his stomach. As soon as he sat up the bubbly feeling turned into nausea and he rushed out of bed and into the bathroom.

After he had thrown up a few times he faced himself in the mirror and almost jumped out of his skin when he saw himself. He was a white as a sheet and his eyes were bloodshot. The fact that he was still fully dressed surprised, had he really gone to sleep in his Armani suit

"Oh Lord." Ezra sighed as he studied himself.

Suddenly a thought hit him, how had he gotten home last night? He had been out drinking and apparently he had way to much to drink. The fact that he didn't remember anything was proof of that.

"What the hell?" Ezra racked his brain to try and remember something but nothing came up.

He grabbed two aspirins from the medicine cabinet and swallowed them down with some water. Ezra had to fight the nausea again when he stood up. Then he went back to the bedroom and got undressed. He sighed heavily when he realised his white shirt was destroyed. The buttons had been ripped out, how had he managed to do that?

As Ezra had undressed himself he went and took a shower. After the long shower he dressed in a white Calvin Klein t - shirt and a pair of beige slacks. He went and sat down in the couch and just closed his eyes and tried to recollect anything from last night.

Ezra had went to "The White Castle" a local bar, he had mostly been drinking whiskey. The fact that Ezra hadn't eaten much before he went out aided him to get even more drunk. He had a vague memory of meeting someone he knew but he couldn't for the life of him recollect who it was. Suddenly a piece of conversation flashed up.

"I'm so nervous about this. What will they say?"

"I'm also nervous, Ezra. Who cares what they will say."

Ezra sat up abruptly which caused his headache to return. Ezra took a deep breath and leaned back again. Who was talking to him? He couldn't really hear the voice in his head, he just remembered those sentences. What had he been nervous about and who were "they" and what would they say about something? Ezra was going crazy because he couldn't remember. Suddenly another piece of conversation flashed up.

"I think I've fallen in love with you."

"I'm falling in love with you all over again."

Ezra's eyes flew up. He had fallen in love? With who? And why wasn't his love in his bed with him? Ezra concluded that he must have went home with some woman and then left her as he usually did. He didn't really care for women as much as he used to. When had that changed?

Ezra was more confused than he was before he remembered anything. He had probably told some woman that he loved her just to get her into bed and satisfy his needs.

Two hours later Ezra was feeling better and had even managed to eat something. He put on his stereo and pressed 'play' and soon the music of Jennifer Lopez came from the speakers. He pressed forward so song number 8 started since it was one of his favorites. A while later the song "Talk About Us" came on. It was a slow pleasant song that Ezra kind of liked too. When Jennifer started singing the words:

"I saw you and fell in love
You saw me and fell in love too
You and me we fell in love with each other last night.
I told you that I was concerned
You told me of your concerns too
Yet and still we both decided to make love last night."

It hit Ezra like a ton of bricks. He jumped out of the couch when he realised who he had gone home with last night. He started pacing the floor furiously trying to decide what to do, all the while Jennifer Lopez kept singing the very suiting song.

"Where do we go from here, my lov
What are we doing bab
Boy you gotta let me know
Why can't we live the way we want
I want the world to know
I just gotta let it show
What do we stand to lose
If being together is what we chose
Oh my love, I think that we should talk about us"

When the song ended Ezra had picked up the phone and dialled a number. After 4 rings a dark voice answered:

"Yeah?"

"It's Ezra." He said.

"...Oh." Was all he got from the other person.

"I... I... I think we need to talk." Ezra stuttered.

"Yep. I'm coming over."

20 minutes later there was a knock on Ezra's door. Ezra slowly walked over and opened the door. Outside the man he'd spent the night with stood looking at him. Ezra invited him in and they both went and sat down on the couch.

"So..." The man began.

"So..." Ezra said and took a deep breath. "Do you have any regrets?"

"No! Hell no!"

"Good me neither." Ezra said and let out a breath he didn't realised he'd been holding.

"I wasn't sure you'd remember much of last night."

"I didn't at first." Ezra was embarrassed. "But I do now. Did you ruin my shirt?"

"Yeah, I guess we kinda got carried away in the moment. Sorry, I..."

"It's okay." Ezra interrupted his new lover. "I don't really care."

Then they both fell silent as they thought about what they said. Ezra was the first to open his mouth.

"So where does this leave us?"

"I don't know." The other man said.

"Did you mean what you said when you said that you fell in love with me last night?" Ezra asked cautiously.

"Did you?"

"I... Yes, I did." Ezra decided to be honest.

"So did I." The handsome man sitting beside Ezra said.

"So, that means we're... a couple?" Ezra said questioningly.

"I guess so."

"Do we tell the rest?"

"I think we should, they will understand... I hope."

"Otherwise we can just shoot them." Ezra joked.

"You're right, pard." The man chuckled.

"Come here." Ezra whispered and pulled the man to him and caught his soft lips with his own.

The two men kissed each other deeply and the memories of last night flooded Ezra's brain. This man had been a fantastic lover who had satisfied Ezra's every need. Ezra remember his lover's warm hands roaming his body touching him in all the right places.

Monday morning Ezra stepped out of the elevator in the office. He had butterflies in his stomach and he felt like throwing up. He had spent another amazing night with his lover and now they were going to tell the rest of their friends. He sat down at his desk and looked at his lover who was standing by the copy machine. When all seven agents had gathered in the office Ezra stood up and cleared his throat which caught everyone's attention.

"Gentlemen, I have... Well, I guess I have an announcement to make."

"We're listening." Josiah's voice calmed Ezra down some.

"I've met someone. This person is an amazingly kind and gentle spirit... means alot to me... And I hope you all can come to accept this."

"Alright, when do we get to meet 'this person'?" Nathan said curiosly.

"You have already met him." Ezra said.

"HIM?!" JD exclaimed in shock.

"Yes, I happen to be in love with this man."

"Who?" Vin asked.

"It's me." The man at the copier said and walked over to Ezra.

"YOU?!" JD exlaimed again.

"Yeah, I love Ezra and as he said he loves me. Are you guys okay with this?"

"I think I'm gonna pass out." JD said and fell back in his chair.

"Are you okay with this?" Ezra asked the five agents again.

"Well I guess I speak for us all... It might take a while but I personally think you two make a cute couple."

"Thank you, mr Larabee." Ezra said with a grateful smile and with that Ezra and his new lover met in a soft kiss.
