Johan escorted the still stumbling brunette back to their room, sliding the door open and pulling the boy inside before shutting it up behind him. "Okay, Ju-chan… Explain to me what you saw.." Judai looked at Johan carefully. Judai was sure Johan had a secret or two that he was hiding from him to get away from their double date companions.
"Johan… explain something to me. What was that talasman you had… when i was at your house last weekend…?" Judai's words startled Johan just a bit. He didnt want Judai learning things too far in advance, his memories needed to return and catch up before he could explain everything.
Johan doesnt look at the brunette, but Judai refuses to let him look away as the brunette grasps Johan's jaw in his hand making the bluenette even more overcomed with surprise by his actions.
"Please…Stop hiding so much from me Johan…" Judai's voice sounded vulnerable as his eyes were glossed over with unshed tears as he stared at Johan. Johan's eyes softened seeing the pain and confusion he was causing the one he called dear to him. He touched Judai's hand gently making Judai drop his gaze from the emerald eyed male.
"I cant tell you… Please, Judai.. Dont hate me…" Johan begged pathetically to the brunette. "I can only tell you so much… The rest you cant learn yet..!" Johan shed tears he didnt know he had in his eyes making Judai swipe them from his face with his thumb.
Judai trembled feeling a jab of pain in his chest and a memory flooding his vision as he backed away from Johan as once again a filter covered his view as he fell unconscious unable to hear Johan crying out for him.
"Why must those damn elders continue to play games with me?! They know somethings wrong but still wont speak up.." Jesse watched his Alpha grumble away irritation and anger pouring from him.
"Alpha please calm down… You've been so aggressive since that demon came here…" Jesse approached him carefully to avoid him from feeling threatened as Jesse put his hands on the male's face and stroking his cheeks.
"I dont know whats happening to me, Jesse…I'm so terrified… I dont want to hurt you on accident…" the aggression melted away from the alpha in its place a frightened expression clouded him and coated the words he spoke to the protector.
Jesse smiled hopefully at his beloved. "I'm as strong as you need me to be Alpha. Your strength is mine. And I would never leave you in this situation."
Another outburst this time between the Angered Alpha and a handful of humans. "YOU DAMN HUMANS ARE USELESS!-" "ALPHA!" Jesse's voice broke through the Alpha's sudden rage making it fade away but each time it left the Alpha it made the once strong male fearful and frightened.
"No…No! No more… No more…" His voice was full of anguish as he collapsed to his knees as the protector ran to his side and held him to his side as the male covered his face as sobs wracked his body.
Jesse ran his hands into the Alpha's hair stroking it sending him his own strength so he could stand, his legs too weak from the fear he felt to stand on his own.
"I promised I wouldn't let anything happen to you, Alpha." Jesse whispered in his ears as the male fell unconscious in his arms.
Judai pulled back into reality gasping heavily his body coated in sweat as he dropped to his knees, his towel still clinging to him as his whole body shook. "T-that was awful…" His brown eyes brimmed with tears as Johan dropped next to him and held his face.
"Theyre memories are horrible and yet beautiful to watch…" Johan's own tears leaked from his eyes as he saw how shaken Judai was from experiencing the Alpha's memories a second time.
"Its true what Jesse said… That you experienced it all already.." Judai recounted his vague interaction with the deceased Protector, saying that Johan was lead through past memories with the deceased Supreme Alpha.
"Yes…I experienced it far younger than you… But I cant tell you everything until the memories are all there…" Judai looked at Johan's regretful emerald eyes as hid eyes downcasted from the brunettes. Judai touched his cheek making Johan look at him apprehensively.
"I understand…I cant ask you anything because you might not have seen everything yet.." His voice grew more quiet. Johan hated keeping Judai in the dark after all, he accepted everything Judai was, his scars and everything.
And yet he cant reciprocate out of his own stupid fears. 'I'll him one day…' Johan swore as the door slammed open to reveal Aster and Chazz dressed in navy kimono outfits. "Check this out guys!" Aster cheered joyfully as he was clinging onto a blushing Chazz in their matching get up.
"L-looks really good on you guys…" Judai stammered clearly caught by surprise when the door slammed open. Johan nodded his head and jumped to his feet and pulled Judai to his feet. "You guys go ahead and order dinner and dont drink all the champagne!" Johan called back as the two half naked males took their turn at the hot springs.
"Ah, Johan! Your gonna make me trip!" The brunette nearly slammed into the taller male leading him to the springs as he pushed open the sliding door that led outside.
Judai shut the door behind him as the two got into the very hot water as Judai yelped at the raise in temperture on his cold toes. "Damn its really hot." Johan laughed as he was already down in where his towel touched the top of his waist. "Cmon, Ju-chan. It feels really good."
Judai took his hand and entered again quickly waded over to the bluenette gripping his shoulder flushing at the intensity of the heat. "Wow its really warm in here." The two smiled at each other as they let the silence fill between the two as they occasionally gazed at each other, never catching the other's gaze out of embarrassment. They still held the other's hand as they sat in the silence.
"Johan you gonna preform at the talent show…?" Judai wondered looking at the bluenette. he smirked with a twinkle in his eye. "Yup I've had a song saved for ages that i've wanted to sing." Johan's smile couldnt have gotten any bigger if it tried as it reached his eyes.
"Sounds awesome, I cant wait… I havent heard you sing since you did Scars by I am they.." Judai blushed red. Johan drops his head on Judai's shoulder making the brunette blush red.
"J-johan?" Judai stuttered nudging the bluenette slightly as he suddenly felt his shoulder burn. "JOHAN ARE YOU SICK??" He pulled away enough to catch Johan and look at his super flushed face and dazed eyes. "Ooohh, everything's spinning."
"Johan??? HELP! SOMEONE HELP!" Judai cried out as he tried to drag the more muscular boy towards the edge of the hot springs. Mitchi slammed the door open and rushed to the hotspring.
"Is he alright? Shit looks like he got lightheaded." Mitchi and Judai carried the out of it teal haired male out of the hot springs and got both him and Judai dressed in their dark red Kimonos before returning to the room.
"What in the hell happened to you two?" Chazz was the first to look up from his food seeing the two boys back early but more surprised by Mitchi half supporting Johan's weight as they carried him to the bedding and laid Johan down on the pulled down blankets.
"Well, Mr. Andersen got lightheaded in the bath and Mr Yuki couldnt get the poor guy out of the spring. Dont worry, it happens often just let him get some rest and he should be fine." Mitchi gave his prognosis and quickly left having to return to his current duties.
Judai sighed falling onto his ass next to Aster before reaching for the filled champagne glass. "Damn, Johan scared the living shit out of me…" Judai pressed his palm into his face rubbing his now throbbing head.
Chazz and Aster sent sympathetic looks to the worn out brunette who drinks the champange slowly as Aster passes him a bowl of Soba noodles and onions spread next to it mixed with cucumbers and lettuce.
He noticed the soba noodles had chunks of teriyaki chicken mixed in which made the noodles taste even savourier. He quickly dug in having forgotten the group had missed lunch earlier in the excitement of getting to the Hot spring spa.
"Guess Johan has a weak constitution of sorts." Chazz muttered not quite sure but he just threw the theory out there. Judai nodded taking that as a reasonable explanation until Johan woke up. Judai looked at Chazz with puzzlement. "Do you really think thats the case? Johan would've mentioned it before hand right?"
Aster shook his head. "Not unless they didnt have to bring it up. Those three are always hanging out in classes unless its extracurricular." that rang true in Judai's head as he realized that Johan was alone with him very rarely and it was only in drama class.
He looked down dropping the noodles from his chop sticks as he looked at his friends. "You think he only didnt bring it up in case he hated people stressing over him..?" Chazz nodded eating a cucumber.
"Thats definately something he could've done. He probably didnt want others to fuss over him, meaning Jim and Hassleberry know this as a procaution to watch over him carefully in case he got sick."
"S-should I call Jim..?" Judai suddenly felt cold as he looked at the unconsious bluenette who was shifting slightly in his sleep. "And tell him what that you two snuck away on a double date and Johan was careless?" Aster made it sound pretty bad but Judai felt guilt building in his stomach.
"I'm gonna at least try to call him…" He reached for his pants which held his phone as he pulled it out and dialed Jim's number. He answered on the 3rd ring.
"Hey mate whats up?"
"Jim I have a problem…" Judais voice broke out of stress as he spoke into the phone. Jim pinched his brow knowing fully well why hed get a call this late from Judai. "Johan collapsed on ya didnt he?" Judai blinked in surprise. "How'd you guess?"
"Cause that dumb shit told me that I'd only get a call from you guys this weekend if he had done something stupid. So spit it out, Judai, what did he do?" Jim rocked in the rocking chair that he had in his room as he watched som random program he found.
"He fainted in the hot springs. The attendant said he got lightheaded, but Chazz thought he might have a weak consitution." Jim nodded his head at Judai's words. "It is his consitution. Just let him rest. He should come around." Judai nodded before hanging up the phone and getting to his feet and crossing the room to be beside Johan who was fidgeting in his sleep. Judai touched his forehead gently to make sure he wasnt sick, thankfully it wasnt that as he touched Johan's hand making the blue haired male relax in his sleep.
He strokes his hand gently before resting his and ontop of his open palm, barely lacing his fingers through Johan's
"I'll never forgive you for dragging me into the hot springs if you dont wake up…" he sat crosslegged by his bed side and didnt move from there.

A few hours later it was in the middle of the night Aster and Chazz having retired hours ago to sleep. Johan stirred finally opening his emerald green eyes to look around him. the room was dim but not competely dark due to the light of the moon shining into the room. Johan noticed the figure next to his bed and saw the sleeping slumped form of Judai his hand touching Johans as he sat up gently.
"Ju-chan..?" Johan whispered gently enough causing the brunette to stir. his brown eyes search for Johans as they widen when they connect. "Oh god, Johan..!" The brunette got to his knees and tugged the Bluenette into his arms and hugged him. Johan look startled as his breath hitched in the back of his throat and his eyes widen and slightly dazed from the sudden action.
"I'm so glad your okay…!" Judai whispered his head resting on the bluenettes shoulder. Johan relaxed and hugged the brunette in return feeling the distress roll off the boy holding him close.
The two were silent before Judai pulled away looking at Johan's face who was confused by the look he was giving him but smiled regardless. "Lets go eat okay?" He takes his hand and pulls the male out of his bed and takes him to the table to eat the slightly cold noodles.
"I'm sorry for worrying you so much…" Johan murmured before looking at the brunette who served him his meal with a large smile on his face. "I'm just glad your okay…" Judai squeezed his shoulder gently before handing him his share of the food before digging in himself.
Johan took a bit of the food with his chop sticks and smiled. "Its good, but I think your moms cooking tastes better." Judai looked over at him with a wider smile on his face hiding the fact he had been both tired and worrying over the slightly taller male next to him.
"I think so to honestly…" Judai thought for a moment then smiled. "Johan? If I cooked for you would you eat it?" Johan looked to meet the brown eyes gazing at him intently as a small light blush spread across his face.
"I think I would… Tho you should try practicing a little bit first cause the first time is never perfect." Judai nodded at Johan's words as the two continued to eat having a sudden conversation here or there as they ate their cold meal in the dead of night before bed.
