Chapter 7 sleep over
'What the hell is going on here? Why? Why did I enjoy it? Why did he do it? Why did he stop? Why the hell was it Horo?' Rens mind was racing. He sat up and looked at Horo with pleading eyes. It looked like Ren was going to cry.
'What have I done to poor Ren? I did not mean to hurt him. God I am so stupid.'" Ren I am so sorry I did not mean to hurt you. Please don't hate me." Ren stood up slowly. He was hurting but he knew Horo was too. He walked over to Horo and slipped his arms around horo's waist. He pulled him into a light hug.
Horo froze. It wasn't a demanding hug. But it was just enough to let Horo know what Ren felt. He wrapped his arms around Ren and just stood there. He knew Ren needed support right now. Not him messing things up. He finally realized how drastic of a thing he had done. He had opened his wounds from Yoh. Horo held him close. He had not meant to hurt him. "I'm sorry I won't do it again."
Ren looked up at him. He was so sad. He knew Horo meant it. "Come on let's go up stairs to my apartment and get settled in." Ren let go of Horo. Horo immediately released Ren. He did not want to hurt him anymore. Horo fallowed Ren to the elevator. While they were waiting for the elevator to come up Horo saw a picture. It was of Ren. He was standing in front of the building. But he did not look happy. 'Why is he so sad?'
"Are you coming or am I leaving you down here?"
"Oh I'm coming. Just a minute." He stepped in and heard the corny music. He looked at Ren. He seemed to be in deep thought. He looked really blank though. He looked like he hurt so much that he had turned of all the emotions that he had. Just like a lifeless doll.
Ren was so zoned out he did not hear them reach the 15th floor. This floor was reserve red for Ren and the employees. It was 1 long hall. At the end of the hall was Rens room. Number 24. The door opened and Horo waited for Ren to walk out. But he didn't. Horo was worried. "Hey Ren?" he reached out shakily." Are you ok?" as soon as he touched Ren he snapped out of it.
"Of course I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?" Ren waited but all Horo did was point. Ren fallowed his finger. "Oh. I was just waiting for you to go first." He hoped Horo bought it.
Horo didn't. But there was no way he was about to upset Ren again. So he stepped out.
"Its room 24. At the end of the hall."
"I know." 'Oh shit.'
"And how do you know that?"
'Oh no. I got to come up with something. And fast.' "Well I just assumed. I mean it's totally you. To pick the last one."
"Whatever."
Horo was so glad Ren had just let it go. They walked up to the room and Ren stopped. "Horo just how long are you planning on staying?" Horo looked up at Ren.
"Well I didn't really plan it. I only packed…. Wait were is my bag?" Horo started to panic. "Oh no, I had it in the cab. I had it in the store. Wait that's right I took it off in the store. When I walked up too you. Shit. I lost my bag. That had everything in it."
"Horo don't worry. Your money wasn't in it right? We can just go to the store tomorrow and get it."
"I know but—it had"
"Horo I'm sure that what ever you lost can be replaced."
"No! No it can't that's the problem." Horo looked like he was going to cry.
"Horo what could you have lost that was that important?"
"My picture of you and me at the fair. I… I loved that picture." The tears started to come down his face. "You were so happy. And I lost it." That picture meant the world to him. Even more then his snowboard. He always had it with him. Why did he have to lose it?
Ren couldn't believe it. Horo was so upset over a picture. A PICTURE! Ren held back a laugh. The funny part was he liked the picture too. "Horo I-
"No, that picture meant the world to me because you were so happy and it was because of me. And I lost it."
"Horo shut up and come inside." Ren opened the door and Horo stood there for a minute. 'What is he doing? He doesn't even seem to care.' Horo went in and sat down on the coach. "I'll be right back don't move." Ren turned around and turned on the light. Then he walked down the hall. Horo was shocked to say the least. His room was beautiful. The rugs and furniture and walls were all different shades of purple. Horo did not love purple. But this was amazing. The coach was an L shaped one. And there were huge bay windows. And a huge TV. "So do you like it?" Ren asked playfully.
"Dude its awesome. And did you do this all?"
"No I had a designer come in and do it. Here." Ren handed Horo a box. Horo looked at it suspiciously.
"What is it?"
"Just open it!" Horo did as he was told. He pulled it out. He looked at Ren. It was the picture of them at the fair.
"When did you get it? I tough you only had one."
"No I only got 1 when you were there. I went back the next day and bought 5 more. I really had fun that day. So I wanted to make sure I always had a picture of it." He did a smirk and then got up.
Horo could not believe it. Ren still had a picture of there time at the fair. He jumped up and grabbed Ren. "Thank you so much Ren. I love it even more now that you gave it to me."
"Your welcome. Now what do you want for dinner? I'm sure you did not eat to well on the plane." Horo perked up at the sound of food.
"You mean were going to cook? What can we have?"
"We can have anything you want. And no. one of the chiefs will cook it." He turned just in time to see Horos face fall. "What's wrong Horo?"
"Well I was kind of hoping to cook dinner together." He looked away. 'That had to sound so stupid. God why can't I just shut up.'
"Oh." 'What is that supposed to mean?' "Well I don't have any food up here to cook I'm sorry Horo."
"It's ok. It was silly. So what do you want?" Ren mad sure to make a mental note that Horo wanted to cook with him.
"How about some spaghetti?"
"Ya that sounds really good. I could go for pasta."
"Ok I'll call it in." 2 minuets later Ren was off the phone. "It will be up in 15 minutes. Think you can last that long?"
"No i'm dieing." He said dramatically. Horo fell off the coach and rolled over. Both of them started to laugh. Horo got up and sat back on the coach. "So Ren, were do I sleep?"
"You will sleep on the coach. It's very nice."
"Ok but could you Umm could you lend me something to sleep in?"
"No, because I don't sleep with anything but my boxers on at night." It took a minute to process.
"What? You sleep…." Horo never finished his train of though. Horo turned red. Bad images flashed through his head.
"I would suggest you do the same. It never seemed to bother you before." Ren turned to walk away. "I'm going to go shower. Get the food when it comes up." 'Ren's…. in…. the….. shower!' Horo sat back on the coach and tried not to think about a very naked Ren just down the hall. 'Clean thoughts. Clean.'
