The Summer Gardener | Jan Irving

“Just wanted to say I’m sorry for making you like me.

Without asking, I mean. You humans have a lot of rules.”

Alejo leaned over to light the lamp before looking over at

the corner of the tent where Fane crouched. “Rules, yes. There’s just this other stuff going on in my life. Other commitments,

Fane.”

“Oh. I thought she left you, and you were lonely and….”

Fane’s voice drifted off.

Alejo pulled the blanket carefully around himself, shielding

his erection, and shifted closer to the fairy. He reached out and, for the first time, really touched Fane, running a comforting

finger down his back. “I wish it were that simple,” he said.

Fane leaned against his touch, looking up at him.

And Alejo’s erection flexed. Shit!

“It’s my mamita; she forgets things.” Alejo swallowed. “Like how to use a knife to cut up salad ingredients.”

“I’m sorry,” Fane said, very simply. Now the wings blurred,

and his friend was on his shoulder, leaning against his neck,

curling his arms around the brown column as if Alejo were his

pet.

Alejo felt wonder rise like an unfettered balloon as he

stroked him again, careful of his seemingly fragile gossamer

wings.

“I just wanted you to be more like me.”

“Well, tomorrow’s my day off,” Alejo found himself offering.

¡eh! , was he crazy? “I could hang around, and maybe you could change me into a fairy, as long as it’s not permanent, comprende? And I’m also not sure about the flying.” Alejo flushed. “I can’t watch hang gliding on TV without getting

vertigo.”
