Kyle's POV

I smiled and blushed as I walked up the stairs, with Barrett at my heals. Aria was being a good little girl, coloring. I hope I can get back to her downstairs quickly to make sure she's ok.

Barrett and I walked into the bedroom that I share with Mana. As soon as we were in the room, Barrett flinched. I guess he could smell the strong sent of flowers. Mana always uses perfume that smells a lot like roses. I've gotten used to it, but aperently, Barrett hasn't. But, that's ok, becasue we won't be in here for that long.

I squatted down to open up the middle drawer of my dresser.

"Hey, Barrett, we're about the same size, right?" I asked, smiling and still looking for some PJs for Barrett.

"...Y... Yeah."

I pulled out a gray top and pants for him. I only have two pairs, anyway, and they're both the same, so it didn't really matter.

I got up and handed Barrett the neatly folded clothing.

"It's a button-up shirt, so... Um.. If you need any help you can ask," I started blushing, feeling like an idiot for saying that. He tapped my head lightly and laughed a bit.

"I'm not a little kid, Kyle." he teased.

I pouted a little. "Well, I have a child, so I'm used to saying stuff like that... I-it kinda just-"

"Nah, it's ok..."

Barrett smiled and ruffled up my hair like I was the little kid. He took the clothes and I walked out into the hall. He lightly tugged at my wrist and I couldn't help but... Blush from his touch. His hands are freezing still, and they're really soft... The way he touched me... It just felt so... Different... What is this feeling, that I feel so often when I'm around him...?

My thoughts were interupted as Barrett said,

"Kyle... Stay here with me... Please... While I get dressed..."

My face went red instantly.

"W-whaat?"

"Yeah. What if i need help with the buttons?"

"O-Oh... O-ok..." I turned around to enter the room again. I couldn't stop from blushing, I don't know why... I just can't stop. I looked down at the floor. Barrett lightly grabbed my chin and lifted my head up slightly. I still didn't make eye contact with him. I loooked to the side.

"If you're uncomfortable with this, then you can just stand infront of the wall until I need your help or something."

"O-okay."

Why the hell didn't I ask him why he wanted me to stay? It's too late, now... Damn... I feel so weird! This is weird... This whole situation is... I walked over to the wall and stood there. At least, now, I can think some stuff over.

My face was flushed, all I can really think about right now is Barrett. It was even worse now, that he was changing while I was in the room. I want to know why the hell I have this feeling. Everytime I think of him, I can't help but blush... And all I can think about, is him... Fuck! What the hell, body? Stop blushing! Stop thinking about Barrett! I... I have a wife and a child... But... Did I ever really love Mana?

I felt water forming at the edges of my eyes, and I couldn't help but start to cry. I didn't shake, I didn't make any nosies to show that I was crying, and yet, I still cried. I let the tears roll off of my cheaks and onto the floor. I tried wipping them away so Barrett wouldn't see. I tried hiding them. But it's so hard. To damn hard to hold back these tears.

"...Kyle?" I heard Barrett's voice say softly.

"..." I couldn't say anything...

He walked a little closer.

"Kyle..."

"..." I still couldn't talk. I just let the tears continue falling.

Barrett was now right behind me,

"Kyle, answer me when I'm talking to you. It hurts my feelings when you don't..." I then felt Barrett's arms wrap around me softly. Fuck, Barrett, stop it! Don't try to tease me... Please... I don't know what you're trying to do to me... Do you feel the same way?

Do I maybe... Love you...?

I shut my eyes tightly.

"Kyle, I need you to help me with something..."

"W-what..Do you need.. .Help with..."

Barrett rested his head on my shoulder. I could feel his warm breath against my neck and it made me shiver.

"Help me with... My broken-heart."

I opened up my eyes. He lifted his head up from my shoulder, still keeping his arms around me, and I turned around to face him.

"Ba-arr-ett.." I said, tears coming as they please, "I don't know... If I can help you... I... I don't know... what... this feeling is..."

Humming Witch: Barrett couldn't hold back, and was all, "SUDUCTIVE MODE, ON!". =w= Bah, it was weird to type that, but that's what Barrett did. Yeah. Well, anyway, I hope you're all ready for some more sadness~ The next chapter *spoiler :3* is in Barrett's POV at first, then Aria's. You're gonna think it's all happy, right? But then it'll get kinda sad at the end. :D I'm mean like that. But it get's a little more lovey-dovey in the next chap., so you can look foward to that, I guess. =u=
