When he was very small, Orlando thought he could tell the future. A hazy dream, fear and unhappiness, followed by a Very Bad Thing soon after.

He thought that maybe he didn't want that power, after all. Maybe flying would be better. Picking at a loose thread on the sleeve of his black suit, he silently offered a trade to whoever was listening.

Years later, days after another dream. A rush of cold up his spine, and he thought maybe he didn't want to fly, either. Maybe invisibility would be a better choice.

While sleeping on the plane to a far-off land, he dreamt, again. Sunshine and caramel.

It wasn't until after he met Sean that he knew. And thought that maybe invisibility was the worst of all.

end.
