Amnesia
for Life
Chapter One
"Tyson, you can leave the refrigerator here this time," I swear as I watch my lover with waist length blue hair pulled back in a loose braid as he tries to attach the new refrigerator to his back once again. "We can't afford to buy number one hundred. In fact, I'm surprised that we were able to buy the first ninety-nine."
"But…but…" he pouts.
"You never change. But I guess that's why I love you so much," I sigh.
He grins his goofy grin as he lifts up the appliance. Surprisingly enough, he actually gained muscles over these five years, carrying these things all over the place. We leave the apartment that we rent together where everyone knows that we're lovers and head down the stairs. He insists on going first, and after his very first step I immediately regret letting him go. Doors fly open in the surrounding apartments to figure out what was happening as I watch in horror as my boyfriend topples down the stairs with his companion…the refrigerator.
"Tyson!" I shout out upon seeing his limbs sticking out from under the appliance in ever which direction at the bottom of the stairs. I charge down the stairs to check on him to find him unconscious. "Someone call an ambulance!" I beg.
Our neighbors, two female lovers with whom we double date all of the time for fun, pull out their cell and make the call immediately.
Within fifteen minutes, Tyson is being loaded into the red vehicle and I'm climbing in with him.
Three hours later, my beloved Tyson finally wakes up.
"Tyson?" I ask, grabbing his hand gently. "Are you all right, Koibito?"
"Koibito? Is that my name?" he blinks. "Tyson Koibito?"
"No, it's just Tyson," I respond. "Don't you remember?"
"No, I don't. Who are you?"
"I'm Kai, remember?" I explain, holding back the pain.
He shakes his head.
A doctor comes in, examines him, and declares that he has amnesia, meaning that he doesn't remember me at all.
