Author's Note: This series is somewhat based on the music video
for "You Don't Know My Name" by Alicia Keyes (hence, the title).
It's a lovely vision for an even lovelier song and I'm more than
happy to give credit where it's due.
Disclaimer: I've got Strife on loan from Scribe and Cupid is here
*ahem* "willingly" *chains rattle* *whipcrack*. Pay no attention to
the...um...really sexy bird behind the bedroom door!

[5:43 am]
[5:44 am]
[5:45 am] *BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP*
"Shit!" *THUD*
As a pale hand flashed out and smacked the alarm off, a soft groan
was heard from the floor. With much effort, and colorful language,
bleary blue eyes peered at the clock.
"Strife! You better hurry up, or you're going to be late for work!"
came wafting upstairs as he managed to pull his bruised body back
onto the bed. God, if it weren't for his aunt, he'd never make it to
the diner on time.
Grumbling to himself, he stripped and headed toward the shower.
"Ugh, it's too fucking early fah this shit!"

"You've only got ten more minutes, hon! Get that cute little rear of
yours in gear!"
"Thanks, Auntie Hes! I'm almost done!"
Toweling the last drops from his body, he stepped out of the stall
and onto the slick linoleum. He wrapped the towel tightly around his
small waist before swiping cooling fingers across the steamed mirror.
Hair too wild...
Face too sharp...
Skin too pale...
Body too thin...
"It's a wonder ya aren't beatin' 'em back with a stick," was sneered
at the person peering at him, "Yep. It's great tah be me."
