fond moments revisited

 "Oh, my god," no doubt, could Levi express his happiness, finding Deano again. Oh, he'd never admit it, but he was certain some of the best times of his life were spent with Deano. "When's the  last time-"

"That's a hard one," Deano only smiled, then winced. "I guess it was at the Sokal."

It was a fond memory. Back when everyone wanted to be at the Sokal. It was the only time he got Deano to play for a crowd but Deano kept his back turned from the audience the whole night. It was a fantastic time. Although, most of their songs were covers by indie bands that could never make it out to their neck of the woods. It was the crowd who made Levi feel they were their own songs. Deano played bass and Levi was on the keyboard.

"Don't tell me, you've given up music?" Levi looked at him, thinking Deano hadn't changed a bit.

"I'm afraid so." Deano's lip was even as he gave him a nod. He then mentioned he was living with Mario's sister. "I lived here most of the summer." Deano chuckled.

Levi kept smiling. "I missed you man, really." Levi couldn't help to think Deano was his true soul mate. His timing was impeccable and they were at their best with they played music.

"I've missed you too." Deano almost cracked up in a laugh, "But let me tell you, who's missed you more."

"Who?" Levi looked at him, almost stunned. He couldn't think of no one, actually. But then he'd been in so many places, since then. He'd taken care of his grandmother in Isreal and had a few startups, popups, and the like with other musicians, but it was nothing like being with Deano.

"You don't know?" Deano looked at him as if he could guess, but his mind drew a blank.

"No, I don't." Levi was puzzled. He never had a girlfriend. Actually, no one. He winced in thought. Fans weren't that strange. Not in his book. 

"Roman, of course." Deano smiled.

"Roman?" Who in the hell was Roman, he thought.
