A/N: So this is it… I've had this idea in my head for a while, and finally decided to put it down.

It happened so fast.

One moment Kato was carrying a box of spare parts near the pool, and the next he was in it, gasping for air and grabbing at the surface of the water. It was as if he was trying to grab onto it, but he was far from the real ledge.

When he managed to pop his head up to the surface for a second, he managed to call out "Help!" but quickly fell back under without even having taken a breath. It only took his three minutes to black out. Kato had just drowned.


The next time he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Britt's concerned face. The moment of regaining life was ruined when he involuntarily coughed out water.

"Are you okay?" Britt asked.

Kato sat up, confused, "How am I still alive?" He asked, not quite alert enough to realize that Britt had saved him.

"I saved you." Britt responded simply.

"But how…?"

"I came out here after a heard you yell, and jumped in after you. Pretty cool, huh?"

Kato looked him over, just now noticing that Britt was also soaked with water. Kato shivered, it was pretty chilly out. Especially when you're soaking wet.

"I even did CPR. I don't know how I did it, but I did." Britt said proudly.

Kato blushed slightly; he had just realized that Britt would've had to kiss him to properly do CPR. He turned his head away to hide his embarrassment. He stuck his hand out towards Britt, offering a handshake, "Thank you."


For all the times he had saved Britt, he had never once gotten a thank you. It was irritating to say the least. Even so, he had never felt more grateful to someone in his life. To think that he had actually been dead for a minute was scary. Yet, here he was, alive. He smiled to himself, thinking about just how lucky he was.

Then… he thought about how Britt had kissed him. Sure, it was to save his life, but it was still weird. He had called Britt his brother, so kissing him seemed wrong, even if he was dead… Even so, why did he feel so happy about it? Did he have feelings for Britt? That couldn't be true.


He was back at the side of the pool, having just come back from the world of the dead. He didn't say anything, but Britt answered his question, "I saved your life, Kato."

It was only a moment, but Kato had suddenly been filled with the desire to throw himself at Britt. He couldn't control his body anymore. He moved closer to Britt, wrapping his arms around Britt's neck, and bringing Britt's face closer to his. He could tell he was about to kiss Britt, and willed himself to stop, and…

Kato woke up.

He was momentarily filled with panic, forgetting where he had fallen asleep. He quickly realized that he had gone to sleep in one of the guest rooms at Britt's home. His body was covered with sweat, and it was only when he went to get out of bed that he realized he had a boner.

It was going to be a long day.
