"Privacy's expensive, mate," Johnny'd told him.

Turns out truer words were never spoken.

Orlando goes on a mission to discover just how expensive that might be.

If he's going to have any kind of a private life at all, he needs to know how much it's going to cost.

So he spends time where he'll have be found, but can be seen by those who make it their business to sneak up and invade others' space.

Like a wedding party in Mexico with other people from Hollywood. Like shopping in LA, like surfing in Hawaii, like eating out in London.

Ordinary things and not-so-ordinary things. Testing the boundaries and the limits of attention, of curiousity, of greed and desire.

It'll take him a while he reckons, but when he's done he'll know just how much it'll cost to have a private life.

He only hopes he finds out soon enough to have it with the man he loves.

There's been enough pain, enough misunderstanding and enough understanding-only-too-well.

Time for that to end. And them to be together- to at least try to work it out.

"Privacy's expensive."

How much?

I liked this a lot. :) Orlando trying to find out, in a way, how much he can get away with and at what price. Thanks for sharing!

You're welcome. yes. How far do the prying eyes follow him? and what's it going to cost, this 'privacy', and how much's it going to take?

enough understanding-only-too-well

i like when he's written adult, and determined, and as acting rather than just re-acting. *nods*

[slashfairy.livejournal.com]

it's the only way i know him, y'know?

thanks, love.

I like this, especially his determination to figure it out. Really nice.

[slashfairy.livejournal.com]

thank you
it doesn't seem out of character at all to me, after seeing him in In Celebration and afterwards.

besides, it's how i know him from the little AU.

lord, i pray.
