((ok first and foremost this is not Odovacar's official look, I did this piece over a month ago and he's under-going a make-over to define his official appearance just so you know! [I'm not sure if I'll end up redoing these pieces with him with his official decided appearance but I doubt it and thought these came out far too pretty not to share in any case]))

You used to talk to me like
I was the only one around.
You used to lean on me like
The only other choice was falling down.
You used to walk with me like
We had nowhere we needed to go,
Nice and slow, to no place in particular.

We used to have this figured out;
We used to breathe without a doubt.
When nights were clear, you were the first star that I'd see.
We used to have this under control.
We never thought.
We used to know.
At least there's you, and at least there's me.
Can we get this back?
Can we get this back to how it used to be?

I used to reach for you when
I got lost along the way.
I used to listen.
You always had just the right thing to say.
I used to follow you.
Never really cared where we would go,
Fast or slow, to anywhere at all.

We used to have this figured out;
We used to breathe without a doubt.
When nights were clear, you were the first star that I'd see.
We used to have this under control.
We never thought.
We used to know.
At least there's you, and at least there's me.
Can we get this back?
Can we get this back to how it used to be?

I look around me,
And I want you to be there
'Cause I miss the things that we shared.
Look around you.
It's empty, and you're sad
'Cause you miss the love that we had.

You used to talk to me like
I was the only one around,
The only one around.

We used to have this figured out;
We used to breathe without a doubt.
When nights were clear, you were the first star that I'd see.
We used to have this under control.
We never thought.
We used to know.
At least there's you, and at least there's me.
Can we get this back?
Can we get this back to how it used to be? Yeah.
To how it used to be.
To how it used to be, yeah.
To how it used to be.
To how it used to be. ~ "Used To" by DAUGHTRY

>> Alexander curled close to his male companion, sighing heavily, as he wrapped his arms around Odovacar's shoulders as the man sobbed. "Alex...I just....I don't know what it is you want from me..." the drunken vampire mewled, his voice pitched with emotion. The Dacian's heartstrings paigned at the tone but it did not shake his resolve as he closed his eyes. Handsome features were pinched in a hurt expression even as he nuzzled against his beloved's neck.
"I wish it to be as it once twas, Odo," the knight murmured, his rich voice a barely breathed whisper. "Can thee not remember how it used to be? The sun that used to shine down upon us? I cannot stand the clouds, Odovacar. I ache for the warmth to return." The Elder touched his lips to the darker-haired male's shoulder and neck, his cool breath teasing against the other's pierced ear. Gently, he flexed his embrace, reaching his mind out towards the other undead, allowing his memories to whisper unspoken words and images...recollections of the past. The pair of them racing along the open meadows of the Dacian's homelands, rolling in the grass along the riverbed. How they laughed and wrestled in the waters and then lay drying beneath the sun's caress. When time mattered nothing so long as they were together....so long as they remained together.
Odovacar swallowed hard, whimpering as his black brow pinched tightly over his shut eyes. "I...I haven't forgot....I just....it's just that.....oh Alex....." ...<<

[random blabber o.O]

anyways...yeah..same as before:

I drew this ages ago and debated a long time just what to do with it, whether to shade it or color it or what...it was too pretty even if Odovacar still had no official face to go off from I'd been dying to draw this imagery of he and Alexander cuddling close based off of the stillframe image from Brokeback Mountain. And having watched it a lot at the time of drawing the original sketch it just really inspired me to draw and do something having to deal with this pair all sweet and emotional heh. So I'd sat down to shade it lightly to add some definition one day waiting for my dad to get home so we could go take care of our horses. Then I scanned it and ended up with three different versions I really liked, this one being the "colored version". I took the grayscale one and then added color beneath it setting all the layers to 70% to try to form a somewhat dreamy feeling to it. This song really inspires me thinking of them especially the idea of an image like this...of the pair of them as they used to be [hey even if it's not Odo's official look the idea of him at least looking back in a medieval appearance instead of his modern one] all close and loving and tender with each other....and how in the modern times Alexander aches so deeply for that to return...the magic they'd once had.... yeah heh....really not much else to say but to let it speak for itself heh.....hope you like it. I thought it was too pretty and touching not to upload.
