Fated

Prologue
-----

"Hayner," a sensual voice whispered into his ear, sending shivers up and down his spine. He couldn't help moaning as he sank his finger nails into the man's back. Lips descended upon his, kissing passionately and feverishly. It was almost surreal. Desperately Hayner tried to push his arousal against the other's, searching for some sort of intimacy beyond the kisses and husky words. "Hayner," the faceless man whispered again, nipping at his ear.

With a jolt, Hayner awoke, covered in a cold sweat. Slowly he pushed himself up and ran his fingers through his damp locks. Closing his honey brown eyes in thought, he hissed in frustration.

'Who the hell is he?' he wondered silently before flopping back onto his pillows, staring up at the ceiling. Just recently these dreams became more and more frequent. They first started shortly after he reached puberty, at first only taunting him every few months or so. Now, he was lucky to go two nights a week without having the dream.

Despite not knowing the man's name, or even what he looks like, he couldn't help getting the feeling he new him. Taking his bottom lip between his teeth, before releasing a loud groan, he rolled onto his side.

"What the hell is wrong with me!?" He hissed, "I'm supposed to like Pence." The blond growled to himself. With a huff he turned onto his stomach, pressing his face into the comforting warmth of his pillows.

With a determined look, brows knit in concentration and his tongue peaking out from the corner of his lips, as he spun the bin full of tickets. Pence stood behind him, watching on in wonder. The day before Hayner heard news of their being a raffle drawing on the main land for a radio station, the grand prize drawing was an all-expenses-paid vacation to Radiant Gardens, for two.

As the name would entail, Radiant Gardens was a place of great beauty. Flowers were always be in bloom, while the streets, houses, and buildings seemed to glow with outstanding beauty. Everything there looked magical, or so Hayner had been told. After all being from a small island off the coast of the main land, he'd never been to such a place.

After deciding that a trip away from everyone, alone with Pence, would be just the thing he needed to seal the deal and finally get the erotic thoughts of his mystery man out of his head. So, early in the morning he dragged his betrothed to the docks with him, excitedly waiting for the first ferry ride to the mainland. Three hours later found them at the stall where the raffle was, slapping his munny down on the table. He turned the crank furiously before releasing it, and letting it slow down. The big red haired man sitting behind the desk, slowly opened the bucket and reached in, withdrawing a piece of paper.

Hayner nervously worried his lip between his teeth as he stared at the man with anticipation. Clearing his throat, the man bent over and dug through a bin of various prizes the raffle had to offer. He drew back and held two slim envelopes in his hand, Hayner's heard jumped with excitement.

"I am pleased to announce that this young man has just won two tickets, for a three day-two night cruise." The blonde sighed disappointedly as he slowly took the tickets from the man. Pence patted his friend on the back.

"Hey, it's okay, who cares if it isn't a trip to Radiant Gardens, a cruise will still be fun." He said reassuringly. Hayner sighed heavily.

"I guess," he pouted, turning around while inwardly cursing his rotten luck.
