"We used to laugh at how he would get drunk and women would slap him for being rude." Rik raised an eyebrow at what Vars was into and laughing shyly. H was sure he was. "If Vars likes someone he'd give them the clothes off his back. I know he was madly in love with his wife and almost gave up music for her."

He's glad Vars didn't. The punk probably would have been miserable, more miserable than he was after the break up. "Vars doesn't do anything in halves. When he's in then it's everything. I don't think Viktor realizes he's in love with him so much."

Rik giggled and leaned into the hand while slowly playing the harp. This was nice and needed in the middle of the whirlwind that was the tour.
