It was early morning, the 22th of July - 2000.

Daniel was lying in his hotel-room fast asleep. It was his 27 years birthday today, and he was enjoying that he could sleep in for once.

He and Darren had been on tour since the begining of April, together with the rest of their band on the "Affirmation 2000 World Tour." Their scedule was very tight with live-shows almost every night and the day was filled with interviews and several sound-tjecks. But today, Daniel stayed in bed, cause their next sound-check was not untill 15 O' clock, and he knew that Darren was doing this morning's interview.

Suddenly there was a sound at the door and Daniel woke up startled, he slowly poked his head out from under the corvers, and his eyes winded in surprice when he saw Darren standing in the door-way.

He was wearing tight, black jeans, a red shirt and a short, black leather-jacket, and he had a brown paper-bag in his arms. Daniel could guess that he had been outside, cause his bristly, black hair was ruffled from the wind.

When Darren saw that Daniel was awake, a big smile came across his face and he started walking towards the bed.

"Good morning sleepyhead. Are you up already?" Darren placed himself on the bed and when he did, Daniel sat up to make room for him. "You should be sleeping in, its your birthday, you know?" Darren said and looked at Daniel's naked chest that was now exposed from the corvers.

Daniel grinned. "Don't you think I know that, Daz? But how should I be getting some sleep when you are bumping around like that? What have you been doing anyway?"

"Ohh, you would like to know?" Darren said teasingly. "Well, Jonesy, I have a little surprice for you but before you get it, you must promise me that you won't get out of bed, I love you like this."

Daniel smiled at Darren's words. Only a few weeks ago they had made love for the first time, and their biggest dream had come true. Daniel had loved Darren from the first time he saw him, but at that time Darren was already engaged to his ex-wife, Colby. Daniel had never felt like that for another man and these new feelings scared him, so he quickly found himself a girlfriend. Michelle was a wonderful girl and he really loved her, but never in the way he loved Darren. It hurt him to think about that she was just a way for him to get release from his desire, but it was true.

Then 2 weeks ago it happened. It was just after a big show in Mexico. The concert had been great and Darren was sexier than ever. All the way trough the show, he had been giving Daniel those looks, he was moving his body against him in every song and everytime he sang, his attention was on Daniel, only.

Afterwards, Darren suddenly stood in Daniel's dressing-room. He still had the clothes on from the concert, and his whole body was corvered in sweat, so his tight, green shirt was sticked to his chest. He didn't say anything, he just stood there for a few moments and looked at Daniel with a strange, glowing look in his eyes.

Before Daniel could say anything, Darren grapped him and pinned him up against the wall. Their eyes met for a second and then he kissed Daniel hard on the lips, pushing his tongue into his mouth. Daniel didn't try to fight, why should he? He had wanted this for so long, and it seemed like Darren wanted it too.

He remembered how they had layed together on the floor, how Darren's hands had touched him all over and how he had felt Darren's soft angel-like skin under his fingers as he reached out for him. He had screamed that he loved him when he came in his hand, and he meant it.

Only the other band-members knew that him and Darren now shared a hotel-room, not even his parents knew anything yet, and the hardest test was still to come: how was he going to tell Michelle?

"Daniel, what are you thinking?" Darren was looking at him closely.

"Oh... what?..... nothing," he said and met Darren's dark-blue eyes. "So what have you bought me? Please show me, I promise I'll behave."

"Alright." Darren reached down and placed the brown paper-bag on the bed. "First we have this one," Darren said and took out a brown, plastic tub. "Dark chocolate ice-cream, extra soft. Thats your favorite, right?"

"Mmm, yes it is," Daniel said and licked his lips slightly.

Darren grinned, obviously proud of his luck. "I knew I was right, I knew you were a chocolate-boy."

"No, no no. You're not eating anything before you've seen the other thing I've got for you," Darren said and reached out for the ice cream-cub, when he saw the hungry look in Daniel's eyes.

"Ohhh, cherrys. I love cherrys," Daniel exclaimed when he saw the little, white box filled with red berries, Darren took out from the bag. He was practically jumping up and down in the bed, acting like a child on X-mas eve.

"Can I have the ice cream now, Darren? Pleeease!!" Daniel pleaded and when he made his famous puppy dog-eyes, Darren was sold.

"OK, wait here. I'll get something to eat this with, but you stay here and don't move," Darren said and left the room. He took the ice cream with him, cause if he knew Daniel right, it wouldn't be safe to leave it with him.

When Darren came back he had a big, silver spoon in his left hand and he had opened the cub, so Daniel could see the soft, brown ice inside.

Darren placed himself on the bed again, and Daniel reached out his hands impatiently to get the ice cream, but Darren just smiled, hold the cub out of his reach, put the spoon in and took a big lump of ice to himself.

"Darrrren, that isn't fair, give it to me," Daniel shouted.

"Take it easy Jonesy. Don't worry, you will get your ice cream, just lay back and I'll give it to ya," Darren said and started crawling towards Daniel with the ice cream.

Daniel did what he was told, and let himself fall back on the pillows. He could feel a funny, warm, tickling feeling flow trough his body, and it was not until now, he realised that he was excited.

Darren crawled up the bed untill he was face to face with Daniel, and he slowly placed himself on top of him with one leg on each side of his body. "Hi," he said as his eyes met with Daniel's. "Are you ready for your ice cream now?" When Daniel nodded, Darren took another lump of ice into his mouth and then he bended down and softly kissed him on the lips.

Daniel gasped as he felt the cold liquid together with Darren's warm tongue enter his mouth. It tasted so very sweet and delicate and he moanded deeply.

Darren left his lips slowly and leveled himself so he could look Daniel in the eyes. "Did you like it?" he asked with a smile.

"Mmm, I loved it," Daniel whispered, he was lying with his eyes closed and his lips was slightly parted.

"Keep your eyes closed and don't move," Darren whispered back as he took another lump of ice. Ever so slowly, he layed himself down on Daniel. He had taken his leather-jacket off before when he was out getting the spoon, and now he was removing the tight, red shirt. He could feel Daniel's body jump when his soft, hariy chest made contact with his smooth, hair-less one.

He moved down and started kissing his neck softly, and everytime he did, Daniel moanded loudly when the cold ice in Darren's mouth touched his very hot skin.

When Darren reached Daniel's nipples, they were already hard. He bit and licked each one gently and when he let some of the ice drip on them, Daniel cried out in a loud voice.

"Ohhh, Darren...... it feel sooo good.... ahh yees..." He reached his hands out for Darren, but he graped his vrists before Daniel could reach him.

"No, Daniel... Just lay back and let me please you, thats all I wanna do today," Darren said and placed Daniel's hands over his head.

To hear Darren talk like that, just made Daniel even more excited. He reached back and grapped onto the bedposts tightly, now prepared for what ever games his lover had in mind.

Darren continued kissing Daniel's body, and he left small love-marks everywhere. When he got to Daniel's blue, satin boxers he could see a big bulge and when he slowly ran his fingers over it, he could feel Daniel's aroused flesh trough the thin fabric. He stopped and looked up at him; Daniel still had his eyes closed and he was breathing heavily.

Darren smiled for himself. Now it was time for the "big surprice"... He slowly pulled the boxers down around Daniel's hips, and he could hear him suck in his breath when he did. He took another big lump of ice cream and very slowly, inch by inch, he took Daniel's cock into his mouth.

Daniel's body jumped from the bed when the coldness in Darren's mouth touched him and he screamed. "Ohhh, fuuuck Darrren...... Whatever you're doing, don't stop.... pleease don't stop...." His head was buried in the pillows and he was clenching the bedposts so hard that his knuckles went white.

Darren contunied sucking and as he did so, he reached a hand inside his thight jeans and started stroking himself in the same pase as he sucked Daniel. When he could feel Daniel was close to climax, he stroked himself faster and faster, and in the end, they came together and their cum mixed with the soft, brown ice cream on their sweaty bodies.

A couple of hours later, Daniel woke up at the sound of the phone. First he couldn't understand why Darren wasn't in the bed with him, but he understood when he heard the sound of running water from the barthroom.

He picked up the phone and Michelle's light voice cut trough his ears. "Happy birthday, love, I'm sorry I can't be there with you. How has your morning been?" "Fine Michy, just fine," he replied. He was surprised that while he was talking to his girlfriend, the only thing on his mind was that Darren stood just on the other side of that door, naked in the shower.

"Whats the matter Danny. You sound so strange?" Michelle asked in a worried voice. "What?.... Don't worry Michy, I'm fine, but listen I gotta go we have a sound-check in half an hour. We must have a long talk when I come home. Take care love. Bye."

Daniel let out a large sigh when he put down the phone. It was right, he DID need to have a long talk with Michelle, specially about Darren. He smiled when he tought of him. How could he be so lucky to have such a wonderful person in his life. Sure, he loved his girlfriend, but he was IN love with Darren, he knew that now.

As he turned around he was startled to find Darren sitting on the bed, he hadn't heard him come. He was wearing a white barth-robe and his wet hair was dripping down in his forhead.

"Come on Darren, don't just sit there. We have a sound-tjeck in half an hour, remember?" Daniel said and started putting on his clothes.

"No we haven't," Darren said in a plane voice. "I canceld it yesterday." He sat back on the bed, and while he looked Daniel closely in the eyes, he opened the barth-robe and reveald his totally naked body.

Daniel let out a gasp, and Darren smiled at his espression. "Happy birthday Jonesy. Do you like your.... hmm, shall I say "present?"

Daniel walked to the bed without a word. He stood in front of it for a few moments, just looking at the beautiful man before him, then he smiled.

"Hmm, I'm glad we didn't eat the cherrys yet...."
