Kyle stayed in the room with his head down, staring at the soft, white bed sheets. Similar accident? . . .

Knock, knock, knock.

Kyle looked up at the door, he knew it was probably Mana, but the impatient knocking seemed out of charactor for her. Kyle tossed his shirt over his head.

"Uhh . . Come in?" He said, struggling with the arm holes and getting them in the right one.

The door slowly creaked open and a burnette popped his head in. His blue eyes looked straight at Kyles.

"B-Barrett," Kyle blushed straightning his shirt.

"Hey." Barrett walked in and stood at the end of the bed with his arms at his sides.

"U-umm . .What are you doing? Wheres Mana?" Kyle asked, looking around confused.

"I told her she could go, and that you would be fine"

"Wh-"

"I wanted to talk to you," Barrett inturupted "I want to ask you something, actually"

"Oh" Kyle said, feeling his face turn a bright red.

The room was quite for a long time. Kyle jumped off the bed and rocked on his heels.

"So . . What do you want to tell me, or I mean, ask me?" Kyle triped over his words.

Barrett stared at him for a moment, making Kyle squirm under his gaze.

"Not here" He answered finally.

Kyle stared at him and then looked down, blushing. Then a more important thought struck him. What was Barret doing at the clinic? Maybe he heard about my incident and came here . . .

There was a knock once again, and Dorthy appeared in the doorway this time. She stood there holding a brown paper bag, and Fern was tucked underneath her arm.

"U-Um. . Ba-Barrett, heres y-your medicine," She said softly. Kyle blinked Barret was here at the clinic? Maybe he was the similar case Natalie was talking about. Barrett turned around to face Dorthy, he reached for the bag that she had handed to him. Kyle watched the kind gesture, his heart squeezing in his chest. He watched how Barrett went from quite and cruel to natural. Barrett MUST like Dorthy. He seems so . . At ease with her. Like he has nothing else better to do then just want to be with her, and think about her. Tears practically stung at his eyes, but he wiped them away fast.

Dorthy peeked over Barretts slender shoulders.

"Kyle, I have your medicine too . . . " She offered a small paper bag towards him. Barrett took the bag from her.

"Thanks" He said before turning away from the painfully shy, cute girl. She nodded her head and waved before walking out of the room.

"Why do you hav-"

"You should get home," Barrett said, silencing Kyle.

Kyle flinched at the coldness in his voice, but put on his favorite grin.

"Oh, yeah. Your right," he started towards the door, brushing past Barrett. Kyle could feel his icy blue stare on him. Of course Barrett feels that way about Dorthy. Shes cute, and smart AND shes a girl. He only sees me as a nucience. I'm such an idiot for even thinking he could like me back. Kyle cursed himself metally. The tears stinning at his eyes with each truthful word.

Kyle turned at the door way and took in Barretts presence, his looks, everything about him. The way he stood with his strong, slender arms at his sides, his silky hair hanging over his forhead, and over his headband. And, of course, his peircing, cool blue eyes. Kyle took it all in with one breath, and just as quickly let it go with the next exhale.

"Goodnight, and goodbye Barrett."

Kyle burst through the doors of the clinic and raced home. His eyes stining, but no tears. His heart throbbed, but not from the run. Each breath was to painful to take. When kyle reached his farmfeild, he collasped on the ground and lay there, his chest heaving. I'm such an idiot, now he'll know something is wrong with me. With that display . . Kyle put an arm over his eyes and listened to the wind rustle with the leaves on all the grasses and tress.

"So this is what you do on your farm. Figures." A cold, but familuar vioce said from over top him.

Kyles arm shot to his side and his eyes searched around him, he propped himself up on one arm for a better veiw. He knew the voice, but he didn't want to say the name.

"I told you I had to ask you something, and then you burst out of there." Barrett said, disapointed "you also forgot your medicine"

"You told me to go home," Kyle stated as a defence, reaching for the paper bag.

Barrett rolled his eyes, handing him the brown bag.

"Besides you didn't tell me in the clinic, so I thought you had changed your mind," Kyle lied.

"Don't be an idiot"

"So . . What do you have to ask me?" Kyle pulled his legs to his chest the looked up at Barret.

Barrett hesitated for a long time before meeting Kyles qeustoning, innocent gaze.

"I want to know if you'll let me stay with you for a while."

Kyles jaw dropped open and his eyes widened. Did I just hear that right . . .

"Don't you have your house?"

Barrett shook his head "my dads mad at me, so he kicked me out. The inns are to expensive for me to stay in them and every one else lives with someone. I don't want to be a bother to a whole family" Barrett sounded so sincere, Kyle smiled at him and softened his eyes.

"Sure, I understand. You can stay here Barrett" Kyle said, standing up. Kyle understood what Barrett was going through. Coming to a whole new town full of accepting families. Kyles nature being so thoughtful and tender, even to the suggestion of intrugding on a family he would decline instantly. Never would he want to impose, even when Mana and her behemoth father, Douglas, offered the farm land to him he declined until they talked him into staying and taking it.

"Thanks. How can you live out here by yourself?" Barrett asked looking around and at the big lot and house.

Kyle shurggs and walks towards the house, opening the door.

"Barrett, why were you at the clinic today?" Kyle asked, making his way through the doorway, stepping into the big, warm house. he started to make his way to the stairs.

"I had a cold," Barrett responded, following behind Kyle, looking around the cozy room. But Natalie said it was a similar case . . Maybe it wasn't him . . Kyle complained silently.

"The rooms are up here," he says, climbing the stairs. Seeming like he forgot about the qeuston and answer. Barrett follows behind him closely.

Kyle walks past the room with the single bed and goes to the bigger room, flicking on the light switch.

"Umm . . You can have this room."

Barrett walks past Kyle into the room and looks around. Then he looks back at Kyle, his usually ice blue eyes, warm and gentle.

"Thanks"

Kyle smiles, but its over-taken by his exhaustan. Barrett walks over to him and places a tender hand on his cheek. Kyle gulped and felt his body turn into a fire ball. His breathing started to come and go shaky. Barretts warm, gentle hands clasped over his cheek. His intense blue eyes bleeding into Kyles.

"You should get some rest" Barrett finally says, pulling away and walking towards the bed. Kyle stood there amazed at how one second, he felt like the sun - hot and burning- and the next, he felt like a cold peice of coal. He shivered at the effect Barrett seemed to over whelm him with . His face soon sets into a warm, sweet smile.

"Good-night, Barrett."

Kyle walks to his room and falls onto his bed. He looks to the wall next to him and imagined Barrett, his sweet, addictive body only meters away from his. Kyle covered his flushing face. How do I expect to sleep tonight with him RIGHT beside me! As the night went on, Kyle stayed up, looking at the ceiling ignoring the desire to waltz right through the door of that bedroom and tell Barrett how much he felt for him, how weird and strange it was for him, but how true it was. Only, it wasn't going to be words he was going to tell him with. Kyles lower stomatch started to tighten and then explode with each passing image of Barrett seized off all his clothes. He looked down at the bulging point just under the covers. He groaned and rolled his eyes before lying on his side, his back towards the wall. He squeezed his eyes shut.Stop thinking about it! Thats enough, get a grip! He coached himself over and over before falling asleep.
