Lost in the moment

Damian played with the tie he had put on for today. The formal shirts and pants were really uncomfortable. He also adjusted his gloved. The burn marks he had on his face and hands always scared people off, which was the reason he tried to hide them mostly. He pulled his head in his face and tapped on his handy when the elevator that he was currently in just stopped. First Damian thought he was just stoping at a floor but the door didn't open. Great.

Damians day was really going bad. First he failed an important job interview then he had a fight with his significant other and in the end the kindergarden called, telling Damian that his little brother had a panic attack. He really had to hurry and now he was stuck in the fucking elevator. He tried to call someone when he recognized that he had no signal. Then he tried to press the emergency button. But nothing. Great it was a power outage. He laid his head on the wall and sighed. Why was all of this happening on the same day? Suddenly he heard wierd noises and the light went out. He was startled and got a bit uneasy. Elevators didn't drop once the power was out right? There had to bole some sort of safety system right? He was currently on the sixth floor. When this thing dropped he was most certainly dead.No this couldn't be happening. There just had to be something. He tried to call everyone in his contact list. Even the police which just told him that they were working on it. That was good. Police was coming. They would save him. He wouldn't die in this elevator. Someone had to save him! Two hours went by. By now Virgil, Damians little brother, probably fainted from having a panic attack. What was taking the police so long. Why was he still trapped in this fucking elevator? He stood up and pressed the panic button. He screamed in the speaker box and kicked against the walls of this elevator. After a while he calmed down a bit. Maybe if he just rationalized this situation everything would be alright. This was just a power outage. It eould be fixed and then he could make everything right. Help his brother, kiss his one true love and find another damn job. Another two hours past. Panic slowly sank into his bones. He really wouldn't escape. He couldn't apologize to his patner. He wouldn't be able to apologize to them and kiss them senseless. He could never comfort his baby brother again. But he didn't tell his little stormcloud that he loved him nearly enough. His brother was 4. He couldn't live on his own. He would come into an orphanage and get hopelessly lost in the system. His brother was mute and had a severe anxiety disorder. No one would be able to care for him. Damian wanted to hold his brother again. He wasn't ready to die yet but he was still trapped in this dark elevator that could drop any second. The sounds somehow got louder and louder. He closed his eyes and rolled himself into a ball in a corner. He started crying until he wasn't able anymore and then got strangely numb. Then he grapped his phone and recorded how much he loved his brother and the love of his life. He wanted them to know. If he died he wanted them to know. He apologized to both of them. He pressed the handy to his chest and hoped, begged to be spared. Another hour later he accepted hos death. He thought about his life. How he had lived until now. He somehow was gifted the best little brother in this world and basically an angel decided to love him. Even though his hole life had been marked with bad luck he had these two wonderful humans in his life. His parents were bullshit and abandoned them once Virgil was able to life on his own. Damian had just turned 16. He was lucky that he didn't get put in an orphanage. This job interview would have helped him but for some reason his bad luck was still following him. He asked himself why destiny hated him so much. He never did anything to deserve any of this. He grapled a necklace around his neck. Virgil made it for him and it was his treasure. He softly kissed it and then tried to somehow fall asleep. This way he maybe didn't feel it once he got crushed by gravity 

He had no idea how much time passed but suddenly the light went back on and he started moving. Still drowsy his first thought was that he was falling. He made himself small and panicked even more. But then he heard a familiar voice. "Damian!" He opened his eyes and looked into the eyes of his significant other. Damian starred at them unbelieving. A fire fighter helped him out of the elevator and laid a blanket around him. A doctor was checking his vitals but Damian was still completely dazed. Ray, his patner was obeserving him concerned with Virgil in his arms who was making grabby hands towards Damian. Damian took him in his arms and was now crying happy tears. "My stormcloud i love you so much. I am sorry that i didn't get you from kindergarden. I love you so much" Damian cried and hugged his brother tight. V cuddled deeply into him and signed "It's alright. I love you" Damian looked at Ray again. He got up grapped Ray's tie and kissed them. The kiss was reviving and Damian enjoyed it a lot. "I am so sorry my love. I didn't mean anything of what i said. I love you so much" Damian said. Ray cried a little as well and held Damian tight. "It's alright. You're alive that's the important part" Ray grinned and they kissed Damian again. Just glad that he was alright.
