Yay! Chapter 11 is here! I hope you enjoy it!
The rays danced against the glass almost blinding the boy but he never turned away. He smiled at his new fascination and never moved. If anything, he would shift slightly and that was it.
He kept his ears open for any signs of anyone waking up. Well, Judai waking up to be exact.
The more he thought about spending time with Judai, the more anxious he got. And when he got anxious, he thought of Jim.
He closed his eyes and willed the pictures and thoughts and memories of Jim out of his system. When he was calm he allowed his eyes to reopen and he focused on the rising sun.
The bright color spilled through the window a little more and spread heat throughout Johan's body, despite the thirty degree wind blow outside.
The bluenette was sucked out of his ecstasy by the sound of a door opening and a familiar loud yawn.
He got out of bed and closed the curtains with a frown. Then he stretched his arms over his head and walked out of the room just in time for Judai to start down the stairs.
The brunette turned around. "Jo-kun?"
"Hi," he yawned. Then he wiped the corners of his eyes while asking, "Are you gonna walk down the stairs, or what?"
Judai only smiled widely and trotted down the steps slightly more chipper than usual.
Johan followed more slowly because of the stiffness in his muscles.
"Johan, you're up," Mrs. Anderson smiled.
"Um, yeah," he said nonchalantly.
"That's good." She handed him a plate of eggs and bacon.
"Thanks."
The only sound was forks scraping against the glass plate. And it was starting to make Johan uncomfortable.
"I was watching the news the other day," Mrs. Anderson started, "and they were talking about strange animals around in the field."
Johan looked up. "Strange animals?"
She nodded.
"In which field?"
"You know, the one that's somewhat…three miles away."
"Don't we pass that field on the way to school?" Judai asked.
"Yeah, I think Ju-chan and I actually stopped there once."
She nodded. "Anyway, I was watching and I saw these horses. But they were different. What did they call them?" She thought for a moment? "Plegus, plagus, plugus…"
"Pegasus?" Johan guessed.
She snapped her fingers. "That's it!"
"Do you remember how many there were?"
"Maybe three or four. How did you know what they were called?"
"I did some research on them."
"Can someone please explain to me what the hell we're talking about?" Judai whined.
The European laughed at his frustration. "Sorry. Pegasi are horses with wings. Everyone used to think they were mythical creatures the Greeks made up. But I guess they know now."
"Whoa, that's so cool! A horse with wings?"
Johan nodded. "Mom, can Judai and I go see them?"
"Sure, but wait 'til it warms up a bit."
Judai watched his brother carefully. He was better now. Whatever he did seemed to worked. And now Johan wanted to spend all day and every day with him.
Judai wasn't sure if it was because he actually enjoyed it or if it was to get his mind off of something.
"What are you staring at?"
"Nothing," Judai answered too quickly. "I was just thinking about something."
"Thinking? Did you hit your head or something?"
"Shut up," he laughed.
At noon when the sun was at its highest, the two of them bundled up and got into Johan's car.
By this time, Judai's question was still ringing in his ears. "Jo-kun, can I ask you something?"
"Of course."
"How would you react if I told you that I didn't want to do anything today?"
Johan looked at him and then back at the road. "Are you saying you want me to turn around?"
"No. I'm just asking."
Johan understood what it meant now. If he was the way he was before, he would've been afraid to answer the question. Because the answer would be selfish. He would say he would be disappointed, sad, heart broken.
But now that he realized how much he adored his little brother, he wasn't scared because the truth is that he loved him no matter how annoying he is at times.
"If you said that you didn't want to do anything today, I'd say that that's kind of upsetting since we came all the way out here. But we'd just have to turn back around and enjoy the winter break in our pajamas." Johan glanced at Judai and smiled.
The brunette smiled back. "Whoa, look at that!"
Johan looked up and saw the Pegasi running around the field. Then they stopped at looked at the moving car.
He turned on his turn signal to tell the car behind him that he was slowing down. Then he parked on the side of the road.
The two of then climbed out of the car and slowly walked onto the field, every step getting closer to the animals.
Johan saw the same one as before. The one with white fur and spots of sapphire. He walked up to it and ran his hand down his nose.
"Do you wanna ride them?" The words spilled out of the bluenette's mouth before he could think about it.
"Isn't that kind of dangerous?" Judai asked. "Mom would be mad if she found out."
"Who ever said that Mom had to know?" He jumped onto the Pegasus's back.
Judai grinned and walked up to the jet black one. He too got on its back.
Neither of them moved.
"How do we make them start?" Judai asked.
"I dunno."
"Um…hiya?" With that, the horse charged down the field with a laughing Judai.
Johan repeated the words and his horse took off as well.
The European eventually caught up with Judai. "Having fun?"
"Hell yeah!"
Both of the Pegasi's wings spread preparing to fly.
"Hang on!"
They were up in the air in no time.
They flew around in circles and played a game of extreme tag.
"Ow!"
"What's the matter, Ju-chan?"
"Something hit me."
"It's probably just a snow storm."
"Yeah, but it really hurt."
Johan was about to argue until something smacked him on the back of the head. "Ouch!"
"See?!"
The bluenette looked up and saw it was something more than snow. "Judai, it's a hail storm! We have to get down."
"Ok." Judai steered his Pegasus down to the ground.
Johan was about to follow until a piece of hail hit his Pegasus. It whinnied and shook anything to block the now non-stop-falling hail.
"Judai!" he yelled desperately.
"Grab the branch!" said boy replied.
"Where?"
"Above you!"
He looked up and saw the branch getting nearer. Reaching up his arms, he grabbed the branch and the Pegasus left from under him and to the ground.
The group of them scurried back to wherever they came from.
Johan pulled himself up and cautiously walked to where all the tree's branches met. "Now what?!"
"Climb down!"
He worked his way down to the last branch but it was still to high for him to jump to the ground. "This is as low as I can get!"
Judai was quiet which gave Johan the impression that he was thinking. "Behind you!" he finally said. "There's a lake. Jump in and I'll pull you out." He started running to the lake and waited for his brother.
"Is it frozen?!"
"Not yet! Jump!"
He closed his eyes and saw Jim. Instead of recoiling he said, "I love you." Then he jumped feet first.
Water soaked through his jacket and then through his shirt. The only thing he could feel was coldness. It was so thick he could barely move his arms or legs to get to the top of the water.
When he thought he'd never be able to get out, an arm grabbed his hand and tugged him to the surface.
He gulped in the air as he shivered crazily.
"Johan, are you ok?" Judai asked.
"I'm f-f-f-freezing."
Judai took off his jacket and put it on Johan.
"W-w-what are you d-d-doing?"
"We've gotta get your body temperature up. Let's get in the car."
The two plopped down in the car and Judai got in on the driver's side. He turned the heat on high and turned it so it all went against Johan.
"I'm s-s-s-s-s-sorry, J-J-J-J-Judai."
"Ssh, don't worry about it now. Just relax."
By the time they were in the drive, Johan's lips weren't blue anymore and some of the pinkness in his cheeks returned.
"I think I'm warm enough now." He took off his brother's jacket and gave it back to him.
"You're not stuttering anymore, that's good."
"And my clothes are somewhat dry." He looked down. "Except my crotch. It looks like I jizzed in my pants."
They both laughed.
"Ok, when you joke like that, I know you're fine," Judai laughed. "Let's get inside."
The two ran inside and sighed in relief when the house gave them a gust of warm air.
"Have fun?" Mrs. Anderson asked.
"Pssh, yeah," Judai lied.
"Totally."
"Good. Judai, your room smells like a rat's ass. Go clean it."
"Yes, Mom." He trudged up the steps and into his room.
"I'm gonna go change," Johan said to get out of the room. He went into his room and took a deep breath. Then he stepped toward the closet just as Judai walked in.
"I thought you were supposed to be cleaning your room?" Johan asked as he took off his shirt and replaced it with one that had thicker material.
The brunette shrugged. "Give me your clothes and I'll throw them in the wash."
"Thanks." He threw his lake-smelled clothes into his little brother's arms. "And seriously dude, clean your room. I can smell it from here and the door's closed."
"Whatever."
Johan was alone again until someone knocked on the door. "Judai, I'll tell you one more time. Clean your room!"
The door opened but Judai didn't walk in. "Johan."
"Jim?"
Sorry that's all I can give! Rofl but if I get enough reviews I might update again! So if you want more just press the little speak bubble on the bottom!
