Len shot up from his bed feeling his stomach knotting up and trying desperately to empty itself everywhere, but the blond was quick to run from his room to the bathroom. Falling in front of the toilet the boy emptied the acid from his stomach. His eyes shut as the decrepit fluids in his stomach emerged from his mouth. He tried desperately to breath in from his nose but found that even this action made him want to puke all over again.
Leaning against the bathtub the boy flushed the acid from his stomach away. His hand falling away uselessly as he felt his body trying to calm down after his episode. He closed his eyes, a bright pair of purple eyes meeting his in the dark recesses of his own mind. His eyes shot open once more and he found himself back in his spot as if trying to puke away the image in his mind. He knew it was impossible, but that didn't seem to calm his heaving stomach at all. He rested his head on his arm on that bathtub once more hoping that the spell was over. He hadn't left his room in three days, which meant he hadn't really eaten. Rin had been placing meals outside of his door which he would take and eat some but not enough.
He sighed as he closed his eyes only to shoot them open at the memory of what happened last time he closed his eyes. He had told his sister that he caught the stomach bug and couldn't leave his room. It had also been three days since he had seen the purple haired demon. He kept his door locked and had even resorted to shoving his dresser in front of the door on some nights. Tonight he didn't and he was quiet grateful that he didn't or else he probably would have thrown up everywhere.
Slowly he tried to move away from the toilet and back to his room when a shot of pain shot up from his lower back. The boy leaned into the toilet again dry gagging. The pain was still so intense even though he hadn't done anything in three days. He couldn't even sleep peacefully that man kept haunting him every night. He lowered himself onto the floor curling into a ball trying desperately to relieve some of the pressure on his stomach.
"Len are you okay?" A voice asked from the doorway of the bathroom. Len shot up at the voice. The movement sending him over the edge once more and he found the toilet once more to be his friend as more of his stomach acid shot out of his mouth into the bowl. "Oh shit Len."
Len watched as a tall male walked into the room. His ears only filled with the blood pumping through him. He couldn't handle turning to see who it was. He would rather be surprised if it was indeed the purple eyed samurai he thought it might be. He blinked when a hand was shoved on his head to feel for a temperature.
"Your burning up." The voice said the hands roaming down and pulling the boy away from the toilet. He slightly relaxed when he made eye contact with dark blue eyes staring at him worriedly. Kaito pulled the boy away from the toilet flushing it and laying the boy along the tub, where Len had first attempted to relax. The blue haired teen got up, grabbing a wash cloth and wetting it in the sink. He walked back over and placed the cold damp cloth on the boys head and eyes.
"I'm okay." Len tried to answer the man but found that his voice came out hoarse and raspy.
"You don't sound okay. Come on lets go get you some medicine." Kaito said bending down and pulling the younger boy into his arms. One arm around his shoulders the other placed at the bend in his knees. Kaito moved swiftly through the house just in case Len found he needed to puke again, he didn't really like the idea of being puked on. He stopped at the kitchen placing the boy on the counter, missing the flinch of pain that shot through the blond boy.
"What am I taking?" Len asked his hand shakily reaching up to remove the cloth from his heated head.
"Well all we got is Nyquil, so I guess that." Kaito said a small hint of humor finding it's way into his voice. He quickly read the instructions before pouring out the said amount. "Open up"
Len made a face before he opened his mouth and allowed the horribly nasty liquid to fall in his mouth. He made a face while quickly swallowing the greenish liquid.
"There and how about some tea!" Kaito said walking to the cabinet pulling out a cup, filling it with water, and sticking it into the microwave. He turned to the boy with a small smile on his face. "Sorry I'm not really that good at cooking. Tea is about the best I can do right now." He said grabbing the wash cloth and rewetting it with cold water. He placed it back onto the boys head before turning to retrieve the cup. The blue haired teen grabbed a tea bag placing it in the cup along with a few pumps of honey and a spoon. He stirred it a bit before handing it to Len.
The blond haired teen stared at the cup of slightly steaming tea. He let out a silent sigh as he brought the cup to his lips and swallowed the warm liquid. Enjoying the feeling of the warm tea traveling through his body and warming up his freezing fingers. The two sat in silence for a few moments as Len finished off his cup.
"Thanks Kaito." Len said placing the cup beside him on the counter. He tried desperately to stifle a yawn, but it just didn't work. Kaito let out a small laugh as he moved over to the boy. Moving the cup away from him into the sink he ruffled the others hair.
"Don't mention it. Now lets get you back to your room so you can sleep okay." Kaito said pulling the boy back into his arms. Len's eyes widened. What if the nightmares came back? He clinged to Kaito in hopes that the nightmares wouldn't return when he was indeed alone. Kaito looked down at the pale blond shaking in his arms. Frowning he stopped in the hall to the bedrooms. "Len are you okay?"
Len didn't trust his voice. He felt as if any second he was going to break down in tears but he had to answer the man. Slowly his head turned from side to side indicating that he was indeed not okay.
"Whats wrong?" Kaito asked pulling the boy closer to his chest. Baby blue eyes remained down as Len contemplated just breaking down in the older teens arms. Confessing to every little thing that was wrong with him, yet he found that he couldn't do it.
"I had a nightmare and I don't want to be by myself." Len answered instead. Burying his face into the others chest as if to hid his embarrassment, instead he was hiding his tears. Kaito tried hard to keep his giggles to himself when he heard the younger teen tell him that. He knew it wasn't something your suppose to laugh about, but he just couldn't contain his laughter.
"Well do you want to sleep in my room?" Kaito asked after his fits of laughter was over. Len shook his head yes unable to remove it from the others chest. Kaito frowned when he felt the wetness start to seep through his shift but paid it no mind as he slowly brought them to his room.
He easily put Len down on the bed before walking over to his TV quickly turning it on. Kaito smiled as Spongebob started spilling through the room.
"Hope you don't mind. I need the noise to sleep." Kaito answered with a light blush across his face.
"No it's fine." Len responded pulling the blanket up to his neck and facing the TV staring aimlessly at it.
Kaito sighed a sigh of relieve as he walked over to the bed and crawled over the blond boy to place himself between Len and the wall.
Len froze as the man crawled over him. His blue eyes squeezing shut as he imagined the worst. Was Kaito just like Gakupo? His body tensing on reflex for the pain to come. He waited for the hands on his skin, but when none came he slowly peaked one eye open to see that Kaito was in between him and the wall staring at the TV. Len visibly relax and he calmly tried to even out his breathing, not even noticing that he had started to gasp for breath.
Kaito frowned down at the boy beside him. He had noticed the boy tensed when he crawled over him, he also noticed that the boy had been pretty much hyperventilating. He put the remote down on the beside table taking note of how Len flinched when his arm went above his head to place the remote down.
"Len are you okay?" Kaito asked placing a hand on his shoulder. His frown deepening when he felt the boy tense under his hand.
"Y-yeah I am fine." Len tried desperately for the words to come out of his mouth frowning when they came out as a gasp. The young blond pulled the covers closer to his trembling body as he tried in vein to stop his shaking.
"Len tell me what's wrong" Kaito pleaded quietly his hand removing itself from the boys shoulder. He stared down as the boy pulled the covers closer to his body as if trying to hid himself from the other.
"Nothing is wrong." Len answered into the checkered board blanket wrapped around his slim body.
Kaito sighed when he realized that he was not indeed going to be getting an answer out of the boy. He pulled his hand back quickly drawing it through his hair to try and calm his facing heart. Something was wrong, but getting mad at the boy wouldn't solve the problem or get him to confess. Blue eyes darted to sneak a peak at the blond beside him, noticing that the boy was calming down slowly but surely. Turning back on his side the boy sighed once more before concentrating on the episode of Spongebob playing on the TV.
Len drew in a shaky breath as he willed his body to relax. He knew that his behavior would give away his secret, but he just couldn't control the way his body would react. He felt the treacherous hands all over his body, roaming, touching, hurting, he just didn't want to feel it anymore. The horrible mouth tracing a path down his abused body leading to excruciating pain.
He just wanted to rest, to sleep away all the pain. Why did Kaito have to ask questions? What if he told Kaito the truth? Would he help him?
Could this be his salvation? All he needed to do was open his mouth and ask for help. What could be so hard about?
Len turned towards the blue haired taking one look at his slightly annoyed expression before deciding that he would just keep the problem to himself.
It would be a risk, but he was determined to fight this. He could do it...maybe.
Hope you guys enjoyed :)
