Confessions of A Love-Struck Fanboy

A/N: The character named Minase Taki is the same one from the Bible Black series...but I'm just writing this fic so I can tease 'em. *cackle* Read and review, please! :D

Part 1 -- Meeting A Japanese Adonis

My name is Minase Taki. I'm 17 years old and I'm currently a junior in high school, completing the last semester before summer begins. No, I'm not that Minase from that hentai anime but I'm a different one. Some of my friends say I look like him and even act like him, but we're really different (my eyes are kinda blue-green but still green and my hair's a bit darker). At least I wasn't dumb enough to put my school through sick perversions--damn, I'm getting off track here... Anyway, like I said before, I'm a student. Your everyday average male student who hangs out with friends, tries to find a girlfriend (I almost suceeded once but I fucked up BADLY), and plays video games nonstop.

I go to the arcade in my hometown of Okinawa to blow off some steam. You know, playing violent games and such. Yay for violent games. But one of my most favorite games is one I've grown up with since my older brother began playing it: the Tekken series. Ever since my brother took me to my first arcade, I instantly fell in love with it. Since then, I've bought every Tekken game in existance (except for the ones on the costly consoles) and loved every character...

To tell you the truth, I might be...well...in terms of sexuality, I could be bisexual, I don't know. How I found that out takes place a few years back...or several...

I was still in elementary school when the first Tekken game came out. I was still young and inexperienced about violent video games like that. My brother had a Sony Playstation (older model) and bought the game at the video game store he was working at. He brought it home, letting me sit in his room to watch him play it. The video began to play then the images of several characters dressed it really cool clothing and had whatever kind of power inside their athetic bodies.

But what got my pants really tight was the main character: Kazuya Mishima (or Mishima Kazuya, if you wanna be all nice and stuff). Tall, built, and muscular with the gravity-defying hair to boot. Anyway, when I read about his past in the manual, I felt bad for him. Hated his father, old-ass son of a biscuit eater...back to Kazuya now. He looked...kinda..well, good-looking and he was really built for someone his age (aren't all guys built like that?). The thing that attracted me about him was the large scar on his chest. He apparently got it after he was thrown over a cliff by his father, Heihachi, saying that "this is what the lion does to its cubs."

'That's fucked up,' I thought.

He's a human being, not a fucking animal, you bastard...!...Sorry, got kinda caught up in the moment. But, regardless of the facts about the guy, I played through the game and found it I had another character I liked. This woman named Jun Kazama. She was in the second game and really beautiful, too. Kinda like my mom or one of my female friends, Hitomi. She always wore white: the symbol of purity, I assume. And she had these short bangs while wearing a headband with it. I played the first game then the second one. When I beat that, my older brother decided to buy me the third game for my birthday.

Then he told me the worst news possible.

Apparently Kazuya and Jun had been in a intimate relationship and she got pregnant around the timeline of the 2nd game. And Kazuya had died too...along with Jun, too. I started to cry but he told me there was a new batch of fighters to play as...along with Kazuya and Jun's son, Jin. When I saw his picture, I almost came in my pants! Yeah, I said that.

So?!

Anyway, I beat the game (unlocking every character in the process). Yay for me. A few years had passed and the new Playstation 2 had come out, my brother was the first to get one. Lucky bastard... I kinda had the hots for Jin Kazama, wishing that he was real so that I could just touch the tattoo on his arm and his muscular stomach....ahh--DAMNIT, I DID IT AGAIN!!
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On a rather hot night, I was laying in my bed upstairs dressed in a simple white t-shirt and blue boxers. The A.C. was turned up to its fullest, yet I was still burning up. Even the window was open. I had just finished reading up in one of my many video game magazines after a nice cold shower (due to the heat) and I was ready for bed. I turned off the lamp that was on the nightstand by my bed, curling up in the bedsheet. After an hour of sleeping, I felt a cold breeze enter the room and I turned my head to it. The next thing I knew I was hit in the damned face by a gust of wind which woke me up. I sat up quickly and looked around the room. I sighed softly, holding my head until I saw something sitting on the open windowsill. I got up from my bed then walked over while stepping over some paper that was knocked off my desk by the mystery wind. When I got closer, I saw that it was a shiny black feather...and drops of blood beside it. I blinked a few times then looked out the window.

"Injured bird," I said to myself softly. Suddenly a shadow moved from out the corner of my eye. I turned my head to the shadow as it rushed at me at a quick pace across the roof. I started to scream only to have my mouth covered by a gloved hand. I was pushed back into my room, my back hitting the floor with a thud. I groaned in pain behind the hand then looked up to the shadow. It wasn't a shadow, but a man dressed in all black. Even his face was covered up. The only thing that could be shown was the loose strands of dark hair coming out of his mask.

Just who the hell was this guy?!

"Will you scream if I remove my hand from your face?" he asked me in a deep voice through the mask. I shook my head at him. He moved his hand slowly away from my face then sat down on the floor, holding his left shoulder tightly. He growled in pain. "...You alright?" He shook his head then moved his hand to show that there was a dark stain on his gloved hand: blood. I immediately went into nurse mode and jumped up from the floor. "Take off your shirt," I ordered him walking to my bed, looking under it. I could feel his eyes on me. Biting my lip, I grabbed the handle of the small white box and took it out from under the bed. "I got it." I turned to him and nearly dropped the box at the sight of him. He sat there looking at me in all his tanned, muscular glory as I just stared.

"...What?"

I mentally slapped myself, shaking my head at him. "N-nothing. Turn around so I can see your wound." I sat down on the floor then flinched at the sight of large gashes where his shoulder blades were. I opened the box, taking out some gauze and bandages. I wiped the blood off slowly which made him wince in pain. "It's okay," I said reassuring him. Even though I didn't feel that way. I rubbed the soft yet toughened skin on his back gently to comfort him. The mystery man started to relax under my touch as I wiped all the blood off. I pulled my hand away and put the large bandage on his wound. He turned to me, moving the pair of goggles from his eyes. I nearly fainted at the dark brown eyes that looked into my blue-green ones. They looked gentle, warm, and inviting. But...filled with something else. "Thank you," he said in the same deep voice that drew me in. "I don't know how I will repay you. Even though I'm a stranger to you, I still thank you." I scratched my cheek, trying not to blush in the process.

"You're welcome, Mr....?" His eyes trailed to the ground as I looked at him, confused. "Aren't you going to tell me your name?" I looked to his huge arms (bigger than mine) then saw a familiar..tattoo.

That's when I hit me. I fell like a ton of bricks as I snatched off the mask from his face. In my room sat one of my biggest wet dreams yet: Jin Kazama. He looked exactly like he did in the videos I've seen of him. I wanted to scream, jump for joy, and glomp him at the same time. But I didn't. I composed myself. He looked at me with wide brown eyes, obviously shocked that I took off his mask for him. I got into his face which made him back away and clutch the wound on his back.

"...You're...Kazama Jin, aren't you?" He turned his face to me, nodding slowly. "And you are?" he asked me. "..Taki Minase..." I crawled up to him as I sat in his lap which could've been big enough for two people, straddling his wide hips. I grabbed his face and pulled his cheeks. Jin narrowed his eyes at me when I mushed his face together with my hands. He groaned lightly as I grabbed onto his thick, black mane with one hand. I ran my fingers through the silky midnight locks. "It's so soft..." He just kinda sat there, letting me do as I please. I looked down to his tattoo; the mark he had gotten from someone or something in the woods. I leaned down and kissed it gently then I trailed it with my tongue ever so gently. I wanted to stop myself before Jin would roundhouse kick me in the face but he didn't stop me at all. A soft moan came from his lips. I blushed darkly when he rested his hands on my hips, pulling me closer into his body. I slowly laid my head on his broad shoulder and smelled his sweet aroma. It was the smell of pine along with some spices I didn't recognize.

"Taki-san," he murmured. I looked up at him lazily as he looked down on me. "Taki-san...I.." I silenced him with a small kiss which made him tense up. Right then and there, I crossed the sexuality boundary, kissing another man who I thought didn't even exist but only in the world of my imagination. Jin touched the back of my head as he kissed me back, moving his tongue across my lips. I whimpered and opened my mouth then nearly melted in his grasp once he plunged his tongue into my mouth. Our tongues moved across one another in an clumsy fashion. Obviously we were both inexperienced. I wrapped my arms around his neck, continuing to kiss him gently. Our kissing session became heated when he moved his hand up my shirt and across my stomach. Jin had pulled away, leaving me breathless.

"Are you a fighter as well, Taki-san?" he asked me in a panting voice.

"I practice kickboxing..." He pulled my shirt over my head and onto the floor as he went after my throat, kissing and licking at my skin hungrily. I moaned softly, gripping his shoulders tightly. He laid me down on the floor then kissed me again while becoming abit brave. He moved a gloved hand through my hair as I nipped at the bottom of his lip playfully. He let out a rather sexy growl, going after my neck again. I moaning in a voice that made me gasp in fright. What was I doing? Was this real or...a halluctionation? But I didn't care; I was already trapped in my pleasure. He started to suckle on my skin, leaving a small red mark on the side of my neck. I laid there on the floor, trapped beneath his muscular frame while his kisses began to move downward. He sat up on his knees and took off his gloves to show a pair of large hands. I placed my palms against his, feeling that they were calloused from either lifting weights or doing pull-ups. Jin pulled his hands away then kissed me again; this time, it was a gentle yet passionate kiss.

We both moaned in the kiss, my hands finding their way into his hair and running my fingers through it. He pulled away again to kiss my collarbone then went down to my chest. I gasped once I felt his tongue against my nipple as he licked it to see what kind of reaction he would recieve from me. I pushed his head into my chest, whimpering when he went back to tease my nipple. "Don't tease," I whimpered. He suckled on the darkened nub while playing with the other one to my ever-increasing pleasure. I let out small mewls, gripping his dark mane tightly. He pulled away and went to the other nipple as he continued to tease me; feeling my length press against my boxers. I whimpered softly which made him lift his head to look at my flushed face. He had a dark, hungered look on his face; his warm brown eyes dull with pleasure; lips slick with our mixed saliva and redded from our heated kiss.

"Is something wrong, Taki-san?" he asked me in a breatheless voice.

I ran a shaky hand through my hair, shaking my head slowly. "No...it's just....this seems too good to be true..." I laughed softly while he looked at me confused. I smiled at him with a warm smile and touched his face gently. He leaned into my touch, similar to how he relaxed when I rubbed his back earlier. He kissed the palm of my hand then looked at me again.

"Taki-san. If I were...to fall into the darkness, would you help me get back to the light?" Now it was my turn to look confused. "

..What do you mean by that?"

Suddenly, he stood up and scooped me up into his big arms, making me yelp slightly. He walked over to the bed, laying me down on the matress while he kicked off a pair of black boots onto the softened carpet. "I meant that if I ever turned evil, would you help me escape its dark grasp?" he asked me. I moved over as he climbed into the bed, laying on his stomach to lessen the pain on his back. I turned over on my side to look at his face. Jin looked at me with the most innocent look on his face which still had the same hungered gaze.

Was he asking me to protect him?

"I would help you," I told him. "But I don't know what to do. I mean, how do I know this isn't just a dream?" He moved a hand to my face, running his fingers across my cheek gently. "It's not a dream." He moved over on top of me again and kissed me in the most gentle of ways. We continued to kiss for what seemed like an eternity until he moved away then laid against the pillow. He winced slightly from the wound but smiled at me when I looked at him, worried. "l'll be fine, Taki-san." I kissed his arm gently then climbed on top of him. I leaned down and kissed his neck, grinning lightly when he moaned lowly. I had both of my hands against his muscled chest as I licked at his throat then moved down to kiss at his Adam's apple and collarbone. He ran his fingertips down my spine, making me shiver. I moved down to his chest as I decided to please him the way he pleased me. I traced the left darkened nub gently, hearing his breath hitch in his throat. I licked it twice then pulled on it gently. He groaned softly and leaned his head back against the pillow.

"Taki-kun," I heard him whisper.

I tried not to giggle at what he called me but I continued my little assault on his left nipple while playing with the right. He moaned softly, biting his bottom lip at the touch. I pulled away and looked at his face. It was flushed with a bit of sweat on his forehead. I kissed down to his muscular stomach, my tongue trailing around his navel. I stopped at the elastic band of his sweatpants then looked up at him. Jin caught his breath and looked down at me, nodding slowly. I grabbed his pants then pulled them down gently. I remembered my older brother with his friends as they watched a little hentai film where this woman had...well...you know what (but I won't say). Once I pulled off his black pants, I saw he wore white boxers...and the rather large bulge that was leaking through the cloth. I gasped at the sight as it pulsed slightly. He moved an arm across his face, embarrassed about his hard-on. I smiled some then leaned forward to plant a kiss on his chin. He moved his arm to look in my blue-green eyes.

"Taki-kun...when you were...on my chest..." Jin turned red and looked away, bitting his lip. "It's okay, baby," I told him. I turned red myself when I called him "baby". "I figured you were kinda inexperienced--we both are--but I didn't know you were that big..." I moved back down, leaning down to lick at the stain. He hissed lightly between gritted teeth. I grinned some then continued to lick at the stain, figuring out that I was lapping at the weeping head of his length, while my hands were under him and cupping his butt almost lovingly. I suckled the stain as I rubbed his buttocks gently. He moaned lowly, trying to thrust into my mouth. "Taki-kun..." I figured this would be the perfect time for me to do it. I pulled away then took off his boxers to reveal the weeping and thick length standing at attention before me. I nearly squealed at the heavenly sight which made him look at me with a completely red face. I laughed softly at him.

"It's okay. Just leave it to me and I'll please you."
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I stroked his length gently, hearing him gasp suddenly then let out a stifled moan. He started to thrust in my hand as I continued to stroke him. I ran my thumb across the weeping head then licked the head slowly, looking up at him for a response. He had his eyes closed shut; his hands gripping the bedsheets tightly. "Taki-kun...don't...tease," he groaned. I smirked lightly then went back to stroking him but I went a little bit faster this time. "But you teased me too. I'm just repaying the favor." I decided to go a bit futher and by further, I meant taking probably half of his length into my mouth. He let out this strangled groan as his fingers found their way into my hair, gripping the strands tightly. "T-taki-kun...!" I ran my tongue across the long root while my hand massaged the base gently. As I continued to suck on his length, taking inch by inch into my mouth slowly, he let out harsh breathing and small murmurs of ecstacy from the darkest corners of his mind.

"Taki-kun....I can't..." He groaned one last time before coming in my mouth, making me pull back while the rest of his life essence landed on my face. "Kazama-kun, you..." Jin looked down at me then turned a dark shade of red before looking around for a tissue. "I-I'm sorry...I didn't mean to--" He blushed when I held up my hand and swallowed his essence, shuddering some. "No it's okay," I said stopping him. I wiped the excess come from my cheek, licking the rest off the back of my hand. He tasted musky but other than that he tasted...sweet. He sat up some while he looked at me with a hungered look then pulled me into his lap, hugging me tightly. I blinked twice and looked to the back of his head.

"...Kazama-kun?"

"...Do you think I'm real?" he asked me. I closed my eyes, patting his back gently then kissed his shoulder gently. "It's okay....you're warm...and you taste really good," I told him. We both turned darkly once I felt his length slide against my thigh as I pulled away with a small smirk on my face. "Guess you need one more go, ne?" I pushed him gently against the pillows then reached over into the nightstand. While I was looking for a certain item, Jin pushed my boxers down to my thighs and caressed my buttocks gently. I bit back a small moan that threatened to escape my lips. I finally found the small white bottle of lube only to gasp in ecstacy when he pulled my hips down and began to grind against me. I moaned in his ear, hearing his breath hitch at the sound of my voice. Did I really sound all that hot to him?

"Taki-kun....I..."

"I know...oohh...I know what you want...but.." I pulled away from him then kissed his cheek lightly. "You need preparations." My boxers were around my thighs while Jin sat against the pillows, his face flushed and looking oh-so yummy. I licked my lips as I let the cool liquid go onto the palm of my hand then got into his face; his eyes glazed over with desire. I kissed him passionately, my lubrication hand moving across the shaft of his hardened length slowly. He grunted softly and broke away from the kiss as he rested his head on the pillow.

"Don't....stop," he whispered. I pulled my hand away then pushed two lubricated fingers against my entrance--the still holy virginal entrance of my body, moaning softly. I felt his gaze on me as I readied myself for him to enter my body. I pulled out my fingers, an empty feeling coming over me. I pulled off my boxers and stradled Jin's hips. I rested against him; my hands on his shoulders while my breath was becoming more and more ragged. His hands moved across my thighs then grabbed my hips tightly. I gasped lightly when I felt the tip of his length press against my entrance then looked at him with a scared look.

"It's okay...it's my first time, too. I'll be gentle with you.."
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I rested my shaking hands on his shoulders then wrapped my arms around his neck. He let out a small grunt as he pushed into my slick entrance, making me cry out in pain. I whimpered when he was about halfway inside me. I breathed heavily and looked up at the ceiling. I felt tears streaming down my face from the pain that shot through my body. Jin was breathing heavily as he looked at me with a gentle yet scared look on his face.

"I didn't hurt you, did I, Taki-san?" he asked in a worried voice. I looked at him, wiping away the tears from my eyes and cheeks. "No...I'm alright..." I kissed the top of his head then smiled at him, running my hand across his face. He nuzzled my chest and let out a soft groan. "I-I'm going in all the way, Taki-san..." I gasped once I felt him push inside me again, slowly at first but at once he was inside me all the way to the hilt. I held onto him, breathing heavily. That's when he began to move his hips. I whimpered in response and he kissed the side of my neck. He moved back slowly then pushed back inside me, making me mewl softly. He laid me down on my back while his hands moved across my hips and thighs; gently caressing them. I looked up at him then nearly gasped at the sight.

The moonlight hit his tanned skin at just the right angle, making his skin light up; a small shine running through his hair. Jin looked at me with a softened look as he leaned down to kiss me on my lips. "Is something wrong, Taki-san?" he asked me in that deep voice of his. I shook my head slowly, running my hand across his cheek. He took hold of my hand and moved his lips along my palm. I moved my hand into his much larger hand, our fingers entertwining together. I raised our hands up above my head then smiled at him. He smiled back at me and soon moved his lips across mine to take in the most passionate kiss that could've been made for a romance film.

Really, it was.

We continued to kiss as he began to move back and forth, in and out, over and over at a slow yet gentle pace. I moaned in the kiss softly then moved my legs around his big waist; my heels resting against the small of his back. I realized that I had lifted my hips just to wrap my legs around him only to recieve a small burst of pleasure. I cried out, breaking away from the breathless kiss as I arched my back. He looked at me with a worried look on his face; stopping in the process. "I hurt you, didn't I?" I looked at him then moved my hips up with a small moan. "No," I whimpered. "Keep going...I liked it.." He swallowed whatever fear he had then placed his free arm by my head and gripped my hand tightly. I held onto his hand, feeling him move a bit faster just to create that near perfect pressure inside me, making me moan his name; whimpering sweet, incoherent words.

"Please...harder...Kazama-kun...unh.." I leaned my head back into the bed as I held onto him with a fist in his hair. He had his head in the crook of my neck, kissing then suckling on my neck loudly while his hips surged in and out of my body; taking away my innocence. He let out a sexy moan while he arched his back, thrusting deeper into me. I cried out again and gripped his hair tightly. He continued to thrust into me as my moans continued to get louder. I was afraid my parents would wake up and freak out if they saw me with another guy....but I didn't care. I wanted to feel that Japanese Adonis inside me, feeling him go deeper and deeper into the core of my body. I reached between our bodies to stroke my long forgotten length which was already weeping with precome. I followed the pace that he set, pounding away into my body. He lifted himself off me as his eyes glazed over with complete desire, his breath coming in small gasps.

"Minase-kun...I'll give..all of me," he told me. "Come with me..." I nearly cried as I nodded in response. He leaned down and kissed me passionately; his thrusting becoming erratic and much more delicious.

Suddenly, we both pulled away, crying out into the darkness of my room. White, hot liquid splashed against our stomachs (along with my hand) as his seed was soon spilling into me at a quick pace. I didn't want it to end at all. I was sated, for the moment, feeling his seed come to an end inside me. But he was still somewhat hard. So, I pushed him over on his back (much to his back's displeasure) then I began to ride him; my hands on his chest. "M-minase-kun...!" He held onto my hips tightly, watching me ride his semi-hard length at a breakneck pace.

"Jin-kun...it's so good..."

"Minase-kun," he whimpered.

He held my hips tightly, digging his fingers into my skin as he started to slam into me repeatedly to find his end. I gasped, crying out in pleasure with each powerful thrust he gave me. He groaned then came inside me again, falling back against the bed. His bangs clung to the sides of his face. He watched me ride him one last time before I came again; my lungs almost deprived of air. I held my head back, staring at the ceiling as I looked down to see the white and sticky mess on our stomaches. Mainly his. It looked like something had exploded onto our skin. Jin let out a breath of air then groaned lowly when I wriggled my butt around on his length.

Apparently he wasn't sated enough, either...

"...Again, Minase-kun?"

"Well, of course again. This time, we'll do it on the floor."
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After a rather long night of serious, hot and passionate sex, my video game Adonis was snoring softly in my ear; one big arm wrapped around my waist, the other arm used as a pillow for my head with our legs intertwined with one another. We were spooning, if you were confused. I moved my hand into the hand that rested on my waist and held it gently. I felt him move his head into the crook of my neck then warm breath against my neck. I smiled softly as I looked out the window to see the sun peaking through my window.

Thank god it was a Saturday.

I sighed softly then turned my head to meet Jin's dark, sensual gaze. "..How long have you been awake?" he asked me running his hand against my cheek. It was the hand attached to the arm my head was on, in case you got confused again. I stammered a bit as he kissed me gently. I closed my eyes, kissing back. He pulled away then sat up with a loud yawn. "I didn't hurt you last night, did I?" I shook my head as we both stretched. He popped his neck along with his back then laid back down, looking tired again. Apparently his wounds on his back were healing. "I wonder if they'll find me..."

"Huh?"

"...It's nothing. I was talking to myself." I sat up and looked at him with a confused look on his face. I think I knew what he meant...his grandfather. After all the bullcrap that happened to him in the 3rd game, wouldn't you be angry at the man who helped you get stronger then ending up attacked and killed--wait, killed? I immediately straddled his hips (much to his surprise) and looked for any more wounds beside the ones on his back...let me rethink for a second. Jin was shot...then he came back looking all...evil.

"..Is..something the matter, Minase-kun?" I looked at him with a blank face as I sighed softly. "It's nothing, ne?" He nodded some then grabbed my soft length, making me gasp in response. "H-hey!" He placed his arm over his forehead with a small smirk on his face. "I'm just going to have a bit of a tease before I leave."

"L-leave?" I asked my voice shaky. I grabbed his hand his wrist, stopping him from stroking me (much to

ogour disappointment). He looked at me strangely as he sat up on his elbows. "...Minase-kun?" I bit my lip which had began to quiver then gripped my fists tightly. "Why would you leave? I gave my virginity to you, Jin! Is it because of Heihaichi and the rest of those bastards that want you for your power?!" That did it. I covered my mouth and jumped off of him, pulling my discarded boxers on. I could feel his dark brown eyes burn into my back as I turned to face him--blue-green eyes staring back into darkened brown ones.

"...How did you know?" he asked me. I turned my head to the side, taking in a deep breath. "Kazama-kun, you're a character from a video game called Tekken or Iron Fist if you want it translated. Basically it tells the story of an old man--Heihaichi Mishima--who gathers powerful fighters from around the world and makes them participant in fights. Their goal is to get a lot of money and the Mishima Zaibatsu as their prize.."

I glanced at Jin to see a rather shocked look on his face then looked away again. "Your dad and mom participated in the tournament too," I told him. "Your mom...was very beautiful, Jin. I respected her." I looked at him to see him look away from me.

"But anyway--I don't think I should tell you more of what I know...I shouldn't, anyway." I walked over to the wall, sliding down to the floor as I pulled my knees to my chest. "..I'm sorry, Kazama-kun...you should go." I heard him get out of the bed with a small grunt; his footsteps walking up towards me. He ran his hand gently against my arm and head until I lifted my head to look at him. Tears welled up in my eyes, streaming down my cheeks. "I'm sorry--" I nearly choked when Jin grabbed hold of me, hugging me close to him. I held onto him only to feel his back tremble with silent sobs. I knew of his pain, his struggle...and he understood it. No, I understood it.

"It's okay," I assured him rubbing his muscled back gently. "It'll be okay...I'll save you from the darkness.." He sighed in the crook of my neck, kissing it gently. I whimpered softly when he rubbed his palm against my near-hard length. "Kazama-kun...you never get enough, do you?"

"No," he said in a husky voice. "I just can't seem to get enough of you." With that, he kissed me again with just enough passion to last a lifetime...

Part 1: End
