Tam Song POV

Walking in that room smelled fresh of dew and Magnolia trees. Keefe's hand had retreated from mine, the warmth and comfort from it forever lost.

The room was like Elwin's doctor's office. It was small. Quiet. The pink was toned down and all of it was shades of blue, which didn't settle my nerves. A boy with black hair and navy blue eyes sat in a plush chair, waiting for us to arrive.

"Oh, two, is it? What a rare sighting!" He smiled softly, and stood up from his chair. "I'm Seebo Perilus, and you must be Keefe Sencen."

He looked to me, offering a hand. I laughed a bit, "I'm sorry, Mr. Perilus, but Keefe's the blonde one. I'm Tam Song."

"Tam Song...Keefe Sencen...interesting specimens..." Seebo seemed to nod off for a moment, and then snapped his fingers, making two blue tablets appear in front of him. "Anyways, you both look very fine today, and I'm assuming this is your first list you're getting, right?"

"Yes." Me and Keefe both answered at the same time.

"Mmmm, the first time. I remember that." Seebo closed his eyes, "Me and my boyfr-my girlfriend, we both went in. Met in the waiting room. We locked eyes. Didn't wait for the receptionist to call us because we already knew we'd be top of each other's lists."

"That's cute." Keefe mumbled, not seeming in the mood for story time.

"Yes, he's very cute indeed. I mean, she is very cute." he shook his head, "This will only take five minutes tops, so I need you, since you are here together, to silently fill out these forms, yes?"

He handed us both a tablet, and on it listed five questions. Ones I could answer in a second if I trusted my heart over my head.

"Each of them should take one minute, so Keefe may take 20 minutes because he might have 20 questions, while Tam's may take 3 minutes because he might have 3 questions." Seebo explained, "When you're finished, hand me back the tablets and wait outside."

I was the first to hand back my tablet, while Keefe took several more minutes to answer his.

"Good, good." The tablets began printing out a little folded piece of paper each. "Well, you may open these anywhere but here. I don't like to see the reactions to the answers."

He read the tops of them each, and mumbled, "Why, is it migration season? So many rare birds...such a perfect mate..."

He handed them to us, "Alright, have a nice day."

"Okay, thanks Seebo." I smiled even though I was more nervous than I'd ever been in my life.

"Yes, thank you." Keefe walked out the door and I started to follow.

"No problem, oh and Tam wait!" Seebo grabbed my sleeve.

"What is it?" I asked, a little annoyed not to be with him.

He whispered, "he's quite the specimen. You might do best and keep him for yourself."

He knew. Did I act too gay? If someone looks hard enough at me, could they see how my heart burned in grief? "I will. And you keep your 'girlfriend' for yourself as well."

"Will do. Remember, he's a rare bird." Seebo waved goodbye as I exited the door, eager to get away from my life.
