Apologies for any grammar, punctuation, and/or confusion
Oliver opened his eyes slowly, blinded by the light of the room. He blocked his eyes with a hand, protecting his vision. He soon noticed the liquid dripping from his palm onto his cheek. He removed his hand and let his eyes adjust. Once adjusted he examined his surroundings. He found he was in one of the bathroom tubs, completely naked. He tried to sit up, but the moment he rose his head he got a major headache. He laid his body back down into the water. He tried to look around for his clothes or a towel but found neither were in the room. He examined himself and found his skin a light red, almost sun burnt. Certain parts he touched hurt and other parts were hard to move. He heard the door open and saw Kaz enter the bathroom.
"Oliver, you're awake" he rushed towards the tub and got on his knees, so he and Oliver are on eye level. "How you feeling," he asked
"I feel, warm and pain, also with embarrassment and discomfort," Oliver said. He slowly moved his hands down and covered himself in the tub
"Don't bother Oliver, everyone already saw. Your fine" Oliver looked away from Kaz, his face feeling hot "Chase said he wanted to check on you when you woke, I'll go get him" Kaz stood up and went to the door. He opened it slowly and left for the living room.
He came down the stairs and saw Bree, Skylar, and Chase, all sitting on the couch, watching TV
"Hey Chase," Kaz said. Chase turned his attention to Kaz "He's awake, might want to check on him" Chase stood up, along with Bree and Skylar and headed upstairs. Chase entered the bathroom and sees Oliver laying in the tub, looking at the white ceiling
"Oliver," Chase said getting on his knees "Still feeling hot," He asked. Oliver turned his body, facing towards Chase
"I feel a lot cooler than I did before but, it still feels like my body is burning" Chase scanned Oliver's body temperature, seeing it cooler than before but still high then it needs to be
"The average body temperature is 97.5, your body temperature is at 130.7"
"Can I die from that?" Oliver asked
"Yes, you can if you didn't have powers. Your ice powers are the only thing keeping you alive"
"So what do I do?"
"Its just a simple procedure. Just use your ice powers to cool off your body, simple as that"
"Alright, give me a minute to focus" Oliver closed his eyes and went silent. Chase watched Oliver breath smoothly and his hands begin to turn blue.
"Chase, how's he doing" Skylar asked. Oliver lost focus at the sound of Skylar and covered himself. He looked and saw both Bree and Skylar in the bathroom
"Skylar, Bree, what are you two doing here," Oliver asked
"We're here to check on you," Bree said
"Well I'm fine, you can leave now"
"Why are you acting so weird," Skylar asked
"Maybe because two girls that I live with are in the same bathroom while I'm in the tub. Naked"
"You're bothered by us but not by Chase" Bree points out
"It's different okay"
"How is it different," Bree asked
"It just is, so could you two leave. I know you're worried, but I'm embarrassed enough" Oliver said. Skylar and Bree looked at each other.
"Fine, we'll go" Skylar and Bree left the bathroom. Leaving Oliver and Chase as alone.
"Alright there gone now" Chase got up and sat by the tub. "Now just focus and use your ice powers to bring your body temperature down" Oliver closed his eyes again and focused. His hands began to turn blue and water began to freeze. Chase scanned his body temperature and found it going down slowly. "Keep it up Oliver, your almost back to normal temperature" Oliver focused some more and the water began to turn in thin ice. "Alright stop," Chase said. Oliver opened his eyes and breathed slowly "How you feeling" Chase asked
"I feel fine, got a little bit of a headache and a little bit tired, but besides that I feel fine"
"That's good, to hear"
"So how did this happen. Kaz and I have been training for weeks, why did my body overheat"
"My guess is when you lost control of your ice barrier, the intense of heat Kaz's powers dehydrated you. I guess when your Dehydrated your ice or water base abilities don't work. Your body tried to cool you by sweating but it was just too much. You passed out and we had to put you in this tub. You had time to rest and the water you drank earlier got into your system. Your powers kept you from overheating again"
"So am I back to normal" Oliver asked
"Yeah you are. You'll get a fever every once in a while and headaches but that's normal. You'll be fine"
"Thanks for helping me Chase"
"Hey" He placed a hand on Oliver's shoulder "We're a team, we help each other out" Oliver and Chase stared at each other. Their eyes locking into place. They stood frozen for a minute, afraid of what to do. Chase slowly started to move in. Oliver did the same, the water splashing in the tub at the smallest movement. They continued to stare at each other, not losing eye focus. Chase moved the hand he had on Oliver's shoulder to his cheek, feeling the warm skin under his fingers. Their lips were inches away from each other, but both swallowed deeply. Oliver slowly moved his hand to Chases shoulder, seeing the water drip from his hand and Chases clothing absorb the liquid. Their lips touched each other, with no movement. Chase was the first one to act and kissed. Oliver was intrigued by the taste Chase was producing and kissed back. Chase continued to kiss Oliver softly, he used his hand to feel Oliver's soft cheek. Oliver used his hand to mess with Chase's hair, feeling the dry gel and sharp points on each hair tip. Chase pulled back from the kiss and took his hand away from Oliver's cheek. Oliver placed his hand back into the water and stared blankly at Chase, seeing what he would do. Chase scratched the back of his head, nervous onto what Oliver's reaction will be
"Wow," Oliver said, surprised
"I'm sorry Oliver, I didn't know what came over me"
"No, Chase, it's fine," Oliver said. Chase stood up and continued to scratch his head "Where you going" Oliver asked
"I need to go tell Davenport you're alright. I'll be right back" Chase rushed out of the bathroom and back down to the living room. Oliver laid in the tub, stunned by the event that just happened. He laid his head back and stared at the ceiling. His mind still tries to comprehend what just happened between him and Chase.
Chase entered the living room and headed out to the balcony. He looked over the edge and took a deep breath. He heard the sounds of cars, helicopters, police sirens, people talking and animal noises. He closed his eyes and thought about the kiss. Why did I kiss him? Out of things I could have done and I kissed him. Why did I do that? Chase shook his head, feeling anger, confusion and joy all at the same time. He had to go explain to Oliver it was an accident. That it was all just a big misunderstanding. Chase headed back inside and found Skylar on the couch reading. He slipped passed her and headed back upstairs. He entered the bathroom Oliver was in and found Oliver on the toilet in his boxers and Kaz standing next to the sink talking. Oliver and Kaz stopped their conversation and looked at Chase
"Um," Chase said
"Something wrong Chase" Kaz asked
"I just need to talk with Oliver real quick, in private for a moment"
"Oh sure," Kaz said leaving the room. Chase shut the door and took a deep breath
"What do you want to talk about Chase," Oliver asked
"You know what I want to talk about" Chase put his head down
"You mean the kiss," Oliver asked
"Yes, the kiss. I'm sorry I put you in that awkward position. I don't know what I was thinking and I'm sorry for it" Chase apologized
"Don't worry about Chase, it's just a kiss" Chase just nodded and smiled
"Yeah, just a kiss," Oliver noticed the tone Chase used. Almost like he was disappointed "Well you better get some rest" Chase opened the door and left Oliver alone. Oliver sat on the toilet, still thinking about the kiss. A question popped in his head, that confuses him. Why did he kiss back?
Alright, there you have it. I hoped you enjoyed the reading and see what happens between Chase and Oliver next chapter. Review!?
