Blaine's Nirvana

Cause And Effect

"So I hear you allowed humans in here!"  Blaine says as he leans up against the desk watching her work out how to fix his newest problem.... they are now fully clothed and the door is unlocked.... "and you removed the door!"  he adds "hey Dino and Chief put it back!"  she says with a playfully defensive tone he chuckles then says "you also had your brother as a bartender here!"  she replies teasingly "is this a long list?! cause I have work to do!"  he laughs then says with a smile "well.... it could be!.... how did you work out the Bangladesh issue?!"  she replies "your father put my name on everything remember?!.... and as I already told you he had me meet the idiots who took him at his word he thought he could get me to "join him" as you seemed to think I had done!"  he says with a sadness in his tone "I was foolish!.... and human.... the emotions....!"  she cuts him off and says with a small bite in her tone "we're still you!"  he says softly "I know!.... I'm sorry!"  she doesn't reply "go on say it!"  he says "say what?!"  she asks "ask me if I'm "done with you" if that was all I wanted!.... I'll never be "done with you" and I'll always want more!.... being without you is the most painful thing I have ever experienced!.... I never want to experience it again!"  he replies and once again she doesn't say anything Blaine was unsure what to do he was getting mixed signals from Shivani he knew that she wasn't happy that she still loves him if she didn't she never would have let him make love to her "I could have used you"  he tells her "when?!"  she asks his body sighs in relief when she took his words in the way that he meant them to be taken "I had a lovely little meeting with Stacey Boss.... who's back in Seattle btw.... and he missed seeing you!"  she replies "you had Candy!.... yes I know all about that!.... she really loves stuffing facts in my face!.... the fact that you fucked her!.... the fact that she "saved your life"!.... she was pissed when she found out that I "gave" you permission to fuck her though!"  he chuckles and kisses her lips "god I've missed you!"  he moans softly.... the next morning Blaine had a meeting with Chase Graves and it did not have good results and how many people they had come into The Scratching Post that night proves it "look at this place it's emptier than a Glasgow pay toilet"  Blaine says as he stands next to Don E behind the bar looking at what little customers they had "Chase Graves frickin' ruined us, man, banning his people from coming here"  Don E replies Shivani walks behind them as she restocked the shelves "look on the bright side it gives us plenty of time to conduct our experiment"  she says in a low voice as she passes by Blaine his eyebrow raises Don E turns and looks at them oddly "sorry Don E I don't do three ways!.... just the thought of you even HALF naked makes me sick so to see all of you in such a light!.... I don't think my poor delicate body could handle it!"  she says Blaine chuckles "so THAT'S what you were doing in.....!!.... aw man!"  Don E says with a hint of jealousy Shivani takes Blaine's hand and gently pulls him into the storage room with her as they pass by the iPad hooked to the speakers and was once again playing "Dream Lover"  Blaine pulls the USB cord so that the music stops and once they were inside the storage room he pushes Shivani gently up against the wall and makes love to her he missed it so much that it didn't matter who came in and watched them his thoughts, eyes, heart, mind, lips well everything was only on and/or in her....

The next day while Blaine was cooking lunch at their condo Shivani sat with Chief and Steve in the living room watching the news "and we're back I'm Johnny Frost fellow Seattle residents, I have grave news to report it has come to light that every person who received the Aleutian flu vaccination today is now in the process of becoming a zombie ...."  they hear Johnny Frost say "Blaine!!"  Shivani shouts Blaine comes walking into the living room with a smile on his face and a steaming hot frying pan in his hands "are you really THAT hungry love?!.... I'm just about finished...."  he says "you wanted a business opportunity.... well you got one!"  Shiv says softly as Johnny Frost continues "I can't stress this enough this is real this is not a joke your future may depend on what you do next if you have not received an Aleutian flu shot, do not get one if you do, you too will become a zombie the first sign you have turned into a zombie will be a craving for human brains color will drain from your skin your hair will begin to turn white if you have taken the vaccine, also be aware the zombie virus can be transmitted via a scratch, or sexually condoms do not prevent the transmission of the virus abstinence is the only protection the most important thing for every Seattleite to remember is this, these people are still your friends, your neighbors, your loved ones they have simply contracted a virus those who have contracted the zombie virus, resist your urges help is on the way until then, everyone, please stay calm"  Blaine looks at the t.v. in shock then as though he just remembered that he was cooking he rushed into the kitchen to turn the stove off calling Don E with a plan as he did so when he comes back into the living room with plates of food in hand and setting them down before his visitors he hears a familiar voice on the t.v. say "hello I'm Chase Graves, chief operating officer at Fillmore-Graves as most of you know, we are a Seattle-based military contracting firm what most of you don't know is that for the better part of two years, most of our support staff and all of our soldiers have been zombies some would say that's the bad news I don't see it that way, though we understand that this new reality may test the bonds of some romantic relationships unfortunately, intimate contact between humans and zombies is impossible without infecting the human partner we welcome new zombies, but that should be a conversation between consenting adults on a positive note, by the end of the day tomorrow, the Aleutian flu will be eradicated your loved ones who were facing a long and painful demise will be saved, and no disease will ever threaten them again I suspect the number one question on everyone's mind is, where will zombies get the brains they need to survive? rest assured there are no plans to harvest brains from the living rather, our brains will come to us from across America the brains, supplied to us by willing donors upon their deaths, will be processed and distributed to Seattle's zombie population but here's the promise we're making to the rest of the country provide us the brains that we need to survive, and Seattle is where we'll stay in the United States, 7,000 people die every day if just one person in 10 donates his brain, we will have enough that we won't need to look elsewhere should zombies go hungry, however, it's anybody's guess where they might turn remember, a well-fed zombie is a happy zombie and our genuine hope is that Seattle will be a city filled with happy zombies going to PTA meetings, bringing orange slices to kids' soccer matches, making noise at Seahawks games of course, the human citizens of Seattle are free to leave but we hope that you will stay and live in harmony with your new zombie neighbors Zombies are not monsters the last thing we want to do is harm our human brothers and sisters we are all in this together let's show the world there's no need to fear the other while Seattle will be under zombie control, most of you living here will experience very little change the established infrastructure will continue to function, its city government, its schools, firehouses, police department, with a special zombie police force and criminal justice system to handle crimes involving zombies thank you for listening continue watching for a list of locations where brains can be procured"  Blaine sat next to his wife on the couch as Chase spoke about brains and Shivani pressed her body up against his his arms automatically wrapped themselves around her and held her tightly as they all continued to listen to Chase speak....
