Social in the City

Dorn laughed at how excited James was when he heard that he had read it, "Well yeah I have read it and it was great." he began to say with a thoughtful voice, he made a pause as the waitress came with there food and then he waited for her to walk away before he continued to talk again. "I read it around a year ago I think it was, It was among my fathers old books in the art room and I thought I could give it a try and see if I liked it or not, turned out a did like it." he then examined the crab cake that was in front of him on the table, it looked nice.

Dorn then glanced back at James when he said the next thing about his brothers. "Yeah let them try" he said with a friendly voice and a smile. Then he gave himself a slight pat on the side of the head with his hand. "Remember I have the power to read and affect emotions, they might have bullied others but I do not think they have tried on someone like me. Wonder what they are uncomfortable with?"

Dorn lowered the hand and then he examined James for another moment, then he calmly turned his gaze down to the food and slowly began to eat from it. The boy smiled as it did taste really nice actually, it had been a good idea to try crab after all. He tilted his head to the side at the other boys compliment, then Dorn smiled and he did look happy that James said that. "Thanks Jamie" was what he said and his voice was calm but yet happy. Dorn then returned to eat from his food and he did look around the area as he was eating, more people came a little now and then but all around there was not all that many people today.

Dorn thought of something he could talk with James about, he felt like he wanted to know more about the other boy. "So Jamie what kind of things do you like to do? What great interests do you have in life?" he asked as that would seem as an interesting topic to talk about, maybe they shared some of there interests with each other? That would be awesome.

Dorn was happy that they had something to talk about and he nodded to the question the other boy asked him. "Yeah I have read it, in fact I have it on my room with all my other things....somewhere" he told and then he laughed a little. "You should try and read it, you can borrow mine if you want to, that would be no problem at all" he then thought about the question that was asked. "Well I mostly read fantasy books, anything in the area of fantasy really. But I can also read other things as I have a large book with all the plays by Shakespear, and I also have one book of King even if horror is not really my kind of books, but that one worked." Dorn made a pause as he ate from his crab cake, then he glanced at James again. "So what about you then Jamie boy? What kind of books are you into mostly?"

Dorn smiled at what James said about making the brothers cry. "Yeah I could do that, but I do not really like to meddle in others emotions and even if I can alter them I try to stay in the area of only reading them but nothing more." the boy explained to his friend, then he frowned a little at the very odd question. "Alter my own emotions? To be honest I have never tried to do something like that Jamie" Dorn had never thought about things that way before, curious where James got such a strange idea.

Dorn listened to James as he told about his own interest and the boy did not say anything before the friend was done even if he did nod a little now and then to show that he payed attention to James. "Those are great and interesting interests, seems like we share a liking for shakespear then, I have all his works but in plays and poems, I also play piano as you know to, I have always liked to read and I can read most things even if fantasy is the best" he made a pause and thought for a moment. "But I also like video games and to do things other would think weird, as I love school and to do homework" he smiled a little as he said this. "oh and I have a thing for old Disney movies as you might have noticed from my little collection of disney classics in the room" Dorn continued to eat from his food after he said this, yeah this was a nice tasty crab alright and Dorn liked it.

Dorn smiled brightly as he said these words and he nodded. "Looks like we have even more in common then Jamie boy, I happen to love old books, Jules Verne, Charles Dickens and Oscar Wilde." he explained calmly and drank some of the juice he ordered, then he lowered the glass and placed it on the table again. "I remember I loved to read around the world in 80 days." he thought back to when he read it and nodded to himself, yeah he had loved that book very much. "I remember mom used to read Beatrix Potter to me when I was a kid" he laughed a little and ate some more of the food.

Dorn smiled at him when he said he remembered, it was after all just a few days ago he had said it and all that. The older boy then nodded and gave James a warm bright smile. "Of course I have not forgoten about something like that Jamie boy, I would never do such a thing" he told calmly.

Dorn laughed as James got so excited when he asked if Dorn had seen any play by Shakespear, James was really cute actually. He really liked the same kind of things Dorn did. Dorn knew they would have a few things in common but not this much. "Yes I actually have seen a few, I sometimes went to see them with my mom." he explained happily and scratched himself in the back of the head. "and I noticed they do have a theater here in the city to actually, we could keep an eye open and well maybe you would want to go with me to see something sometime? I mean you do not have to if you do not want to." he smiled a little as he said this and he was a little unsure of James would like the idea. "It could be fun"

"My favorite play? Well I liked Hamlet much when I watched it, but I also like many of the others, The Storm, Macbeth and Rome and Romeo and Juliet. I enjoy most of his plays actually." Dorn explained with a thoughtful tune in his voice and he was eating a little now and then and of course he paused at those moments. "What about you then Jamie? What is your favorite plays of Shakespear?" Dorn asked him back, he was curious to see what playes the younger boy liked to watch.

Daniel laughed at his words then he said this, my he had really made the boy worked up on this subject. Dorn loved to see James this happy since that made him feel all fuzzy and happy on the inside. "Yeah I love his books, I remember I read Oilver Twist as the first one of his books" he told with a happy voice and a friendly smile, he then drank some more from his glass and took a deep breath. "I love to see you like this you know, It makes me happy when you are so excited. I want you to know that." he explained calmly and placed the glass back on the table again. Dorn then glanced around the room but there was still no people sitting to close to them so they could pretty much talk freely.

He laughed as James began to bounce up and down on his seat and Dorn calmly stretched out and laced both hands on each of the younger boys shoulders and smiled at him as he looked him into the eyes. "Whoo there Jamie boy" he said with a friendly voice and a sweet smile. "No need to get over excited about it, yeah I promise I will take you to the theater and we will see a wonderful play, just you and me" he tilted his head to the side as he looked the boy into the eyes. "I love that look in your eyes you know, excited and happy, you really should use that more often." he smiled in an encouragin way and then he slowly ruffled the boys hair with his hand before he gave him a slight poke on the nose. "but do not stop just because I said anything now. About the money I have some put to the side for things like these so we will be able to go."

He then began to talk about the plays and Dorn nodded slowly. "Yeah your right the fun once are great to, but it all depends on what mood one is in. I like most plays of William anyway, I have a very open mind about most things in life. But not even I have read all his work" he then thought for a moment and it looked like he was thinking about something. "Excuse me Jamie, I will be right back" he then smile at the boy before he stood up and walked away though the area, he stopped at a counter and began to talk with the man behind it, he stood there and talked. It did not take very long until he came back and he was smiling when he sat down. "So you like the food?" he asked James. He did not right away say what he had talked to the man about over there, Dorn picked up a small notebook from inside of his pocket and he began to make a few small notes on it as he was thinking...but he still payed most of his attention to James and he made sure to show that. "Jamie I have been doing some thinking, what you say if I do not treat you to the movies tonight, but we can go to the theater instead?" he asked suddenly and closed the book. "They are showing A Midsummer Night's Dream now, the next play will be in around two hours and the man said they always have a few spare tickets for the end. Do not worry about the money part, that will not be a problem. I mean we do not have to if you do not want to and all that, we can still go to the movies insteed if you want?"

Dorn had noticed the feeling that was inside of James when he had ruffled the boys hair, he had also felt it when he talked away and then returned back to the table again. Dorn actually liked how James reacted and it made the boy even cuter then before, or was that it? Did Dorn think that James was cute? When he thought about it that was the only thing he came up with, he thought James was cute and he was funny. He was fun to talk with and there was that feeling he gave out that Dorn liked, but he did not say anything about that he had noticed what the boy was feeling. Was this wrong of him to feel for James? Maybe it was wrong, but if it was wrong then he could live with being wrong for once.

"That sounds fantastic, of course I don't want to see a movie, it's Midsummer Night's Dream, and I can pay for myself; it's totally worth it, eh?"

Dorn smiled brightly again and the thoughts he had about if things was right or wrong went away as he saw the smile James had on his face, Dorn could not be unhappy with that bright smile looking at him. "Yeah I am very sure it will be fantastic Jamie boy" he said with a soft voice. He noticed that James had returned to being that I want to jump around like crazy with happiness, Dorn could not help but grin a little and then he slowly stretched out the hand again and placed it on the other boys shoulder, he stroked it softly and tilted his head to the side. "Hey there Jamie boy, calm down a little. Or maybe...no be as happy as you want, I do not mind it at all." he did not remove the hand until a moment later when he noticed it was still there. The boy blushed a little and calmly removed the hand and then he scratched himself on the back of the hand. "and I insist on paying for both of us Jamie, it is my treat this evening. No objection James, do not deny me the happiness to make you happy." he said James as a way to show that he was serious, he never called James by his real name unless it was something,
