Chapter 7
Sunshine
~x~
The bright sunlight shined through the window and over Jin's face. He groaned and covered his face with his hand. He sat up and looked around, there he noted Steve sitting in a chair next to the bed, fast a sleep. He smiled and reached over touching Steve's cheek with his knuckles.
Steve's blue eyes flicked open and he smiled seeing Jin awake. "How ya feeling?" he asked, moving over to the bed and sitting on the edge.
Jin sighed, but the smile on his face stayed. "A lot better thank you. What time is it though?"
Steve rubbed at the side of his head, and then glanced at the small clock on the wall. "A little after two, you were sleeping for a few hours. What happened anyway? You said something about, you getting like this when it happens. I don't understand what you mean by all that," Steve asked, looking back at Jin.
Jin frowned. "It's a long story and it's not am easy one to talk about. It's something only a few people know about and as far as I know, they are only people from my family."
"Ah, so your uncle Lee knows then, that's why he was so worried then?"
Jin nodded. "Yeah, he knows, and yeah. Seeing as he is with Hwoarang, I bet he knows now too…, then again he might have known before hand, I'm not sure though."
"Why would Hwoarang know before hand?" Steve asked, his brows forwarding.
Jin shook his head. "I've known Hwoarang for about a year now, since the King of Iron Fist Tournament three. Hwoarang helped me out when the tournament ended. Just as he did, it started to happen, and I am sure he seen a glimpse of it."
Steve nodded, taking Jin's story in and rolling it in his mind. "So, what is it, a sickness?"
"Something like that," Jin said, not really wanting to talk about it.
Steve seemed to get the hint from the tone in Jin's voice and changed the subject. "So, are you entering the next tournament? It starts in a few months."
Jin nodded. "Yes, I have too. You are too?"
Steve nodded, leaning back so he was resting on his elbows. "Yeah, if I win it could be a chance at locating parts of my past. Or maybe even just entering might help, never know right?"
Jin watched him and frowned. "How will the tournament help you?"
Steve sighed, and stared up at the ceiling. "Eh well, I'm not sure who my parents are really. Though, I know I was born in a since lab that is connected to the King of Iron Fist Tournament. As you know I have this odd scar on my arm, and I was told I had it since I was a baby. So I figured, since the mob is after me I can take this chance and enter the tournament to get some answers."
Jin frowned, listing to Steve's story. He never knew Steve was an orphan and he wondered why he never heard of a baby being born during any of the tournaments. Then again he, himself is too young to know everything that happened in the first two tournaments. However his question was something he was wondering since he met the blond. "Um, but why is the Mafia after you?" he asked, lying down sideways so he was facing Steve.
Steve chuckled. "Because they wanted me too throw a fight, I agreed at first, but then when I was in the ring, I ended up changing my mind and kicking, well, punching the guys ass out," Steve said, turning so he was laying on his side to. He smiled at Jin. He reached a hand over and pushed a few of Jin's bangs away from his eyes. He then leaned forward and kissed Jin's forehead, down his nose, and gently over his lips. His hand moving to the other man's hip, resting it there.
Jin returned the kiss, moving closer to deepen it, his own arm wrapping around Steve's waist.
The kiss became deeper, and Steve moved closer to the other man, moving so he was on top of Jin. He broke the kiss and stared down at Jin, who looked at him with pink cheeks and heated stair. Steve smiled, and ran a hand through Jin's thick hair, then down his bare chest.
Their lips connected once again, harder this time, Jin's hands staying on Steve's waist. Steve broke the kiss once again, getting to his knees so he was straddling Jin. He grinned, and slid his shirt up and over his chest.
Jin watched the blond with heat in his eyes, getting up on his elbows. He chuckled as Steve struggled to get his arm free, and reached up, helping the blond, only for the two to stumble backwards and onto the floor, Jin landing on Steve.
"Oomph!" Steve grunted, and the two went into a fit of laughter. "Well that's romantic."
"Yeah," Jin said with a smile, resting his forehead against Steve's shoulder.
They both stood there on the floor, laughing softly, and then Jin sat up, and stood to his feet, reaching a hand down to help Steve. Steve took the offered hand and stood up. The two grinned at one another and chuckled some more.
As soon as they calmed down, they were both laying in the bed again. Jin lying against Steve and Steve rubbing small clericals on Jin's back.
"We should go to the beach," Steve suggested, glancing down at Jin.
Jin smiled and nodded. "That sounds like a good idea."
~X~
After Jin and Steve washed, and dressed, they made a few sandwiches, packed them in a bag and they headed for the beach. They walked along the shore line together, chatting about one thing or another, enjoying the time together.
After of some time walking around, they sat down in a spot by shore, picking up some small pebbles and the two started to skid the rocks, across the ocean. Jin grinned as he watched the ripples expand. He remembered doing the same thing the night he had met Steve.
He remembered feeling a bit down that day, and now the mood was a lot lighter. He stared at the pebble he picked up, and blinked. It was the prettiest shade of blue he has ever seen, the same shade as Steve's eyes.
"Steve," he said, rolling the small rock in his hand.
Steve grinned, and glanced over at Jin. "Yeah, mate?"
Jin shifted, looking at the rock he held. He felt shy all of a sudden and wasn't sure if he could say what he wanted to. He took in a deep breath, and then let it out slowly. It'll be fine. "Do, I mean, I feel happy around you."
Steve grinned and scooted closer to Jin, and kissed his cheek, resting his forehead against Jin's. "I feel the same way. It might be a tad soon, but, I think love is blooming."
Jin smiled. "Yeah, one more thing…. Will you always stick by my side here on out? No matter what?"
Steve blinked, the question was a bit odd, but he nodded. "Yeah Jin, I'll always be with you. Why?"
Jin frowned. "Well, I can't promise that everything will be good. I have a dangerous family, and I can become a dangerous person. I don't think I will ever hurt you, but I just need to know."
Steve's brows forward and he cupped Jin's face. "Jin, I promise no matter what I'll stick by you. Like I said, I have strong feelings for you and I doubt that will change. That attack, from last night, that has to do with you, doesn't it?"
Jin nodded. "It was me, but, each time I do something like that… I never remember, or I remember very little. That's why I need you."
Steve nodded, and brought Jin into a gentle hug, holding him to his chest. "Don't worry, I wont leave your side," he said, and smiled. "You mean a lot…. My sunshine, as corny as that may sound."
Jin chuckled and glanced up, the blue pebble dropping form his fingers in a mix of browns. "Thanks Steve," he said and the two shared a soft and gentle kiss, the waters of the ocean wetting their feet. Neither of them noticed.
