"I can't do that."

Gil's voice was steady and strong. He watched as his lover closed all the buckles, tightened the straps and adjusted everything. "Yes, you can," he said finally when he straigthened up again and smiled at his lover.

"No, I don't think so."

With a 'clack' the last buckle was closed and Gil could feel his lover close behind him. With shaking hands he adjusted his helmet once more.

"Ready?" Nick's voice was calm. Gil took a deep breath and nodded. With a shout of joy, Nick jumped off the cliff, taking Gil with him. It took a few seconds until Gil finally dared to open his eyes. He saw the earth down below and could feel the wind in his face. And suddenly he understood his lovers obsession with paragliding.

He laughed out loud in joy as they glided silently through the air.
