Tappety tappety tap. Tappety tappety tap. Tappety tappety tap.
Darren brought his book a little closer to his face and tried to ignore the sounds of Daniel banging away at his laptop.
Tappety tappety tap. Tappety tap-
The sudden silence that filled the room was almost louder than the typing had been. Darren looked up and noticed that Daniel’s shoulder’s were shaking slightly.
He’s laughing at something Darren realized. His curiosity got the better of him and Darren got up and walked over to Daniel.
“Hey Jonesy, what’s so amusing?” he asked, looking over Daniel’s shoulder at the bright screen.
“Well, it seems that some of our fans have come to some interesting conclusions.” Daniel replied, still chuckling.
“What conclusions?” Darren wanted to know, trying to make sense of the stuff on the screen.
“Hmmm...that either we are a couple or we should be a couple.”
“What?!?” Darren felt like laughing too “Where are you getting that?”
“At this site,” Daniel replied, indicating his laptop screen. “called The Real Deal. Here, take a look.” Daniel got up and Darren took the vacated seat.
The singer quickly read through all the pages at that site.
“My God, a lot of this is logical and precise reasoning and data. I could almost believe it! It makes too much sense!”
“They do have a lot of ‘proof’ don’t they?” Daniel grinned “Too bad I don’t fancy you, eh Daz?”
Darren fluttered his eyelashes and pretended to pout
“How could you resist my charms?”
Daniel laughed and gave Darren a friendly shove, who grinned back at him then turned his attention back to the screen.
“Hmmm...what are these pics at the bottom? Ohhh...they’re links!” Darren exclaimed. Daniel looked skyward for a moment, as if asking the computer gods to have mercy on Darren.
The singer was muttering to himself as he scanned the screen.
“Dan and Daz Erotica Page?...no...hey what’s this site?....all it says is ‘Going Down?’...oh I get it, it’s that pic of us in front of an elevator...” Darren chuckled in spite of himself.
The singer clicked away and eventually landed at a site with the title ‘The Night Island.’
“Hey I like this site, Luna and Mandy sure know their Anne Rice!” Darren grinned, reading on about things like Children of the Millennia. Darren looked over his choice of options, then chose a link called ‘Yummy stories’ or something.
The dark-haired one felt like raising an eyebrow at some of the requirements for a story to get posted. ‘Nothing too smutty’?
“Hey Jonesy, come read these fanfics with me.” Darren called over his shoulder. The tall guitarist wandered back over and stood behind Darren, reading along with him.
Some of the stories did cause Darren to raise an eyebrow but there were some good ones.
“Who would have guessed you were part elf?” Daniel teases after they finished a story called ‘Just a kiss divine.’ Darren grinned and replied
“How else can you explain my beautiful voice?”
Daniel chuckled.
“How indeed.”
Soon they had finished all the stories, including an odd one concerning the x-files, and returned to the main page.
“Hmmm...what now?” Darren mused. The link called Thought Tank caught his eye. Curious, he clicked it.
“Ohh...it’s the guestbook. Well, since I’m here, I might as well sign it. Wouldn’t do to be rude.” Darren clicked ‘sign guestbook’ and sat looking at the empty form, trying to decide how to sign it.
Then he grinned mischievously.
“I know, what a better way to hide that it was I who signed it than by just writing my real name. No one will believe it!”
And so he did.
