Chapter 13.
It's okay to Cry.
-You see my dear pet, I'm searching for immortality. I am a great man with great power but even I am but a mortal. If I obtain your power, I will live for ever.
The boy sat silently, his eyes black and dull.
-Do you understand?
-This is so hard…I didn't ever realise that school was this hard…
Kai rolled his eyes.
-Says the man with the perfect grades.
-Well, you would have good grades if you just paid any attention.
-And what, have no life?
Tala blushed furiously and jumped on the laughing Kai.
-Are you implying on something you retarded pork bun!
-Did you call me a pork bun? Are you implying on something?
-Wh..what?
But instead of an answer, Tala got a kiss. Kai pushed his hands through the red hair of the other, smiling at the softness.
-The snow still hasn't stopped, I wonder why.
-Kai?
-Mmm?
-Will you make love to me?
The blue haired boy looked at Tala in surprise.
-A...are you sure?
-Yes. Please. I love you, don't you?
-I like the snow here, it's fluffy and white!
-Shut up! Snow is the same everywhere.
-Na-ah, in England there was never snow while I lived there. This is the first time I see the real thing.
Kai looked at his friend in bewilderment.
-No snow? Are you sure Rei? Maybe you're just blind or something.
The raven haired boy laughed and hugged Kai.
-I have a poem for you.
-You what? That's really girly! Are you sure that you're a boy?
-KAI! Of course I am. I wrote it for you.
-Why?
Rei buried his face in Kai's chest.
-Because it's what I feel for you.
-You're gay.
-I don't mind, as long as I'm a boy.
-Well?
Kai ran his hand through the silky black hair and smiled.
-Huh?
-I wanna hear it.
Rei looked up and leaned closer to Kai's face, still smiling.
-I knew you liked me too!
-No, I just want to see how crap a person can be!
-UH!
-Come on then! I don't have my whole life to waste on you!
-This feeling is as pure as snow
It burns when touched
But full of heavens glow
And I just want for it to flow
All through my body
This sweet, divine glow.
-You are gay.
-If that means I can be with you then I am!
And with a soft giggle Rei leaned forward and…
…kissed Kai. Tala didn't know why he was doing all of this. Maybe it was to prove to himself that Kai still loved him. Maybe it was to bind him, he wasn't sure. But he really did love Kai, more than anything in the world and if he ever lost him…he didn't know what he'd do.
-Kai…
The blue haired boy touched Tala's cheek and smiled. He wanted this too.
Right?
/KAI! Help me! /
-AHH!
He pulled away from Tala, almost falling off the bed. The voice hadn't been his. Or was he going mad?
-What…what is the matter?
Kai looked out the window.
-I feel him.
He didn't care anymore about anyone in the world. He grabbed his clothes and pulled them on. Rei is all that mattered right then and no one in the world could stop him right then.
-Kai? WAIT!
But Kai wasn't listening, he was running out the door and to the forest, somewhere deep inside he knew where to go. The answer was always so close by, how could he have not noticed.
-KAI!
/Don't follow me Tala, there is nothing left, I'm sorry. /
-My grandfather is dead!
Kai gritted his teeth as the pain in his chest increased and a knot formed in his throat.
-But you hated him, didn't you?
-I did. But, even so. It hurts. So. Much.
He felt arms wrap around him and golden orbs stare right into his eyes.
-It's okay to cry, I don't mind because I know you're strong and I know that you deserve it, to cry.
/That's right Rei. But you deserved it too. /
