Hi so a massive thank you to everyone who favourites or follows this story. I also want to say thank you for the kind messages I got from the last chapter =) As usual I will start with the warning. Warning: story contains BoyxBoy, swearing, mentions of abuse. I hope you enjoy it and have a nice day where ever you are =)


Tweek and Craig sat awkwardly in the canteen as they sipped their warm drinks and kept glancing up at Kyle who was lent back in his chair with a pointed glare out the window. Both were still covered quite considerably in dressings for their injuries, but on a whole, they had begun to heal up quite nicely. They had also been quite busy keeping an eye on Alex whenever they could... the boy had most certainly not settled into everything around him. He seemed nothing short of a mental break down on most days. "Lovely weather we're having." Tweek squeaked as he took another long sip of his drink. He looked for any indication that Kyle had taken a bit of notice of him and tried to tell himself not to be disappointed when the other boy didn't. It just hurt the blond to see Kyle in so much pain and hurting the way he was. Wasn't there anything he could do to help? "You're right. It is. It makes a nice change from all the snow." Craig dead panned in his usual voice as his fingers laced with Tweek's who shot him a thankful look. "Well it's nice that we can actually even get outside for a bit now."
"It's the same out there as usual you idiots."

Both watched as Kyle just gently pushed the spoon around in his cup. His glare was still harsher than anything either boys had seen. He's still not himself. Tweek thought sadly as he just watched the boy seemed to radiate nothing but an entirely frozen cold aura which repelled anyone who was nearby. "We're still snowed in. The only way to get in or out is through an ambulance. This stupid town, this stupid hospital... and I'm stuck here with you two!" He snarled and closed his eyes as he massaged the spot on his head between his brows.
"Hey! We don't have to put up with you being a dick!" Craig exclaimed as he returned the gesture of Kyle's glare without any hesitation.
"No. But you both just still stick around out of guilt." Kyle stated before turning his gaze back out to the blizzard which was coming from outside. He seemed to be so deep in thought that he didn't notice once that Tweek was examining him. He hasn't slept in days. Looks like he hasn't eaten either. He really just needs to see Alex... But the blond knew that would never happen. Katherine was too sharply on guard to even consider letting anyone near her son now.

The situation just became even more delicate the more that Alex seemed to be coming back into health.

"I want to know."

Kyle turned his head back as he finally stated coldly while his fingers began to tap against the table. "Again." He barred his teeth as his anger seemed to just grow all the more with great set agitation. He had been growing more aggressive over the past few days.

With Katherine on guard duty whenever Kyle came even remotely close to the ward. He would always find himself quickly turned around and storming past a sad looking Kenny who just like him had a flower to bring to the boy, only to be turned away and back to the areas where they had been set up to sleep and eat with the weather still being like this. He had begun to take to wandering the halls in any attempt to escape thought and sight of others so that he may have some peace and quiet without other patients or doctors asking him if he was okay!

"We've already told you." Craig stated.
"P-Please Kyle-"
"I want to hear. Again." He punctuated and enunciated as harshly as he could with the last word as his emerald orbs locked on them both. His fingers kept drumming slowly across the table as his eyes bore into each of them. He wanted his answers. Anything to begin to figure out what was actually going on. So he could start solving he mystery of which bastard put his boyfriend in here.

He had a plan how to fix all that... but he would have to take his time. Make it slow and painful.

"F-Fine." Tweek sighed as he began to go over the accident again and again. Making sure that he left out no detail. The way that the blood had splattered onto the ground after Alex had hit onto the windscreen of the car. The way the car had slowed down just enough so that it could make the pain of running over Craig and Tweek all the more agonising. Every single bit of the memory which made him just want to shrink away and go back to the blackness of his dreams. He wanted nothing more, again and again, than to just vanish and run away at that very moment.
"Again." Kyle stated.
"I-I've. T-Told you-" Tweek's twitch began to get worse as his nerves flared up.
"Again."
"Enough." Craig glared through the red head boy. "We're going back to our room." His normally impassive eyes had flared up an angry storm at watching Kyle grilling his boyfriend. "Fair enough, everything you're going through." His eyes narrowed. "But at the end of the day, you're not the one who got hit by that car." He snarled. "However... here's something that I think you should know. Alex has been asking for someone." Craig raised his hand before Kyle could speak. "He doesn't even know who himself. But every so often he will ask his Mom. It never ends well."
"Why?" Kyle frowned.
"An amnesia patient looking hopelessly for someone who he has absolutely no recognition off." Craig growled. "If that was you, how would you feel! It's destroying him! He can't figure out who the hell it is, but we all do!"
"Uh...what?"
"HE'S LOOKING FOR YOU DUMB ASS!" Craig shouted before walking out the canteen with Tweek as close to him as possible, making sure that the boy was as closely protected as he could be.

-Break-

Kyle paced back and forth outside the hospital as he seemed to look at the ground with an intent. He seemed desperate to try and find some reason, courage or any answer on how to proceed with what he wanted to do next. Everything inside of him was driving the bag of nerves he had become, wild. This is what he had been left as because of his feelings for Alex. Being driven through to much pain because he cared for someone so much! This was the reason he had been pushed through in his ache which he could no longer take.

The weak plants stood out beneath the pained barrier of the blanket which the snow had now become forgotten and almost dead. The crimson roses were losing their life, the cherry blossom in the trees had begun to fleet away and turn a deathly shade... Alex would hated to have seen this.

But now here he was, stood outside of a hospital in the back garden as he rehearsed himself how to have conversation with a boy who he now needed to act like he never should have met! He had to act a stranger to the boy he knew better than himself! "So uh... Hi. My name is Kyle Brofloski it's a pleasure to meet you... no no. That sounds too formal. Hi I'm Kyle, how you doing- how're you doing?" He hit himself in the head at that stupid attempt. "He's in a freaking hospital! How do you think he is doing!" He scolded himself and paused as he was tempted for a moment to bang his head on a wall out of sheer stupidity for how he was feeling right now. "Hi I'm-"
"Kyle Brofloski I'm guessing?" A voice chuckled softly.

Kyle turned slowly to see a boy covered in bruises slowly stepping out of the doorway as he had a small smile playing on the edge of his face though the boy himself looked like he didn't know why he was showing that gesture. The large cuts across his cheek didn't make him look any less beautiful. Scars can fade. Bruises can be hidden. Alex's personality and beauty? That was going to be there forever. Accident or not. The large lines which had needed stitching were now settle in the large bloodied mark.

He wore some shorts and only a shirt, having Kyle guessed, refused to wear those hospital gowns at all. "Hideous sight, I know." Alex's smile turned a little sad and deeply self conscious. "I wish I could could explain to you how I got them... but I just don't quite-" He paused for a moment as his eyes darted back and forth along the ground, as though he was tracing an invisible line which no one else could see. His jaw was set tight as his fingers flexed on the handle. "Kyle Brofloski." He shook his head with a soft smile.

That smile. That beautiful smile. The one that never seemed to be able to not make Kyle's heart explode with such a giant and overwhelming, humongous joy. The same smile that he had when they had gone for their first dance in the tent of the elves. When they had their first kiss under the star light... when the boy told Kyle all about beating up those thugs in the alley way who had dared to try and break his friends and kill them.

"Kyle Brofloski-Kyle-Kyle-Kyle-" His eyes widened slightly with fear as he kept saying that name over and over on repeat. Same tone same expression of growing fear as the air was leaving his lungs in a betrayal at the use of the name.

It wasn't until he was completely out of breath and he was doubled over taking great and deep intakes of air, did Kyle move forward and gently place his hand on the boy's back. "Hey it's okay, come on, just listen." He cooed softly as he set the slow and steady intake for the boy. "In through the nose, out through the mouth. Don't rush, take your time." He knew that Alex was rather delicate right now. Any head injury in any form was always dangerous.
"It hurts." He growled and made a clawed hand over his chest. His fingers were growing pale in the cold and his eyes were becoming fierce now that the surprise and fear had rushed out of them.
"Try not to speak." Kyle stated firmly and rubbed his thumb across where his spine was now beginning to show through his clothes. Craig had mentioned earlier in the week that the boy hadn't been eating much and refusing food to the point that he had started to be force fed it. "Let me tell you a story maybe?" Kyle began to ramble on the story that he had found from within Alex's book when he had been searching through the boy's possessions.

He turned with a great sadness in his eyes as the soft summer breeze rustled the inky locks of his hair with a gentle caress. His half lidded peachy eyes slowly giving in as all life in those once great emerald orbs now seemed to finally give way.

It was so strange to him that he felt no pain as the words sat heavy in his mouth. The cold in his chest clawing and crawling from the crimson expanse of his showing heart. His slightly rouge lips, no longer tense or beaten into a hard line of fear. His limp hands, open and catching the final moments of the breeze. "Better dead and forgotten than just a shadow." His diamond tongue whispered.

He became still, porcelain skin drying out with colour as from the open expanse, the shinning crimson of his heart faded to a dull, wilting brown. Slowly large cracks forming on his lean body. The bare black shirt which had once kept him warm now betrayed him as it was ripped from his torso and vanished on the adventure of the wind.

He didn't care... All he could do was raised and twist his hand as he watched his finger tips becoming broken and crumbling into nothing less than lifeless waste. Slowly deep veins ebbing away as the crumbled remains became nothing more than a stump of his wrist.

A missing elbow.

A vanished arm.

And so on it carried till the boy began to slow fall back. His eyes watching the cloud great sky with sadness as even the warm sunlight flailed away from him.

Even as the last of the breaking body reached his face so that only his eye was left, he still knew and stood by the actions.

But then there was nothing.

Nothing more than a pile of autumn leafs blowing away on a forgotten summers breeze.

"Interesting story... the author must have really been one depressed sad stack." He growled.

Kyle paused and wished for a moment that he could instead of looking at the strange and unknowing face of this Alex, that he could just have the boy back who would curl and fit so comfortably. This is your Alex! His thoughts barked back instantly. He is and always will be the same Alex... it's just about... getting to know him again. "Nah... the author was."

Kyle paused for a moment as he turned and looked into the boy's eyes. "The most genuine and amazing boy that there ever was going to be."
