Trapped Hearts
"KEVIN WHERE ARE YOU?" Kei's voice shrieked, echoing throughout the endless pile up of shattered wood, busted ceiling, and splintered dust. Each time the young agent screamed another note of fear made her sound more scared then the last. No matter what way she looked there was nothing but stockpiles of rubble and chunks of crumbling rock. Kei winced at feeling jagged rock spikes produce cuts along her bare tanned legs as she searched.
But the fire in her green eyes pushed her to struggle on, hurling rocks all over the place with frantic searching hands. "Dam you Kevin for making me look for you like this, now I'm pissed. When I get my hands on you I'm gonna...I'm gonna I (tears form) I'll worry about that when I find you alive..I hope" Kei weakly said. No matter how rough, tough, and mean she acted around everyone, Kei can't hide the fact she's worried about Kevin.
Suddenly a noise came from the far back, followed by a groan, a small laugh and an "Ow..oh man that sucked". Kevin's voice was like a light of joy at Kei's heart, she smiled and beamed with a laugh "KEVIN you jerk ass you're alive". She immediately helped Kevin up by pushing off the strands of rock. There were a few tears and mountains of dust and dirt over Kevin's brown flight jacket, he coughed and beat off the dust as he slowly stood up.
"Well not the greeting I was hoping for but better then none I suppose" Kevin said rubbing his dark blue hair. Kei was still smiling brightly, deep down in her hard heart she was really glad Kevin had survived. Kevin blinked as he could have sworn her saw tears in Kei's eyes, but she quickly noticed it and rubbed them off. Kei grunted "I.had dust in my eyes, back off". Simply smiling to Kei's back, Kevin shrugged and looked around.
"Things sure got messy up there this whole place is trashed, how are we gonna get out?" Kevin asked. The young lovely angel knocked her knuckles on the sides of the walls, frowning at the sound of thickness within it. "Doesn't look like were going to least not for a few hours. That idiot's neo pulse grenades stock piled a junkyard's worth of crap over our heads, luckily this basement kept us safe. Looks like an old style fall out shelter actually".
Kevin blinked brown eyes speaking "So then what's the plan?". Kei replied "By now no doubt both the 3WA and the BCAN know something went wrong. A search team from both sides will be sent to dig through all that junk in a few hours, hopefully that'll keep the goon squad up there busy long enough for Yuri to make it". Crossing her legs Indian style Kei then sat down sighing, "Until then looks like we just gotta sit tight and get comfy".
The 2 stranded/trapped agents sat down hiding under the fallout shelter, just a few feet away from a mountain worth of crumbling building debris. For at least 15 minutes there was nothing but complete and total dead silence between the 2. Lifting his brown pupils from his strands of blue hair, Kevin was about to ask if Kei was all right. After all she was still in nothing but her panties and underwear. But she looked towards him with a blank faced glare.
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine" Kei said as she pressed a button on her wrist gloves. A beam of light covers her body with a black and red snow white suit, Kevin gasped and simply replied with a "WOW handy trick". Kei grinned "It's a new snow suit that the 3WA HQ labs developed, may be a little hot but its better then my undies". Kevin laughed and blushed a bit, he bit his lip nervously as he looked to Kei. "Look I'm sorry about upstairs.
I didn't mean to you know.look at you or make fun I just" Kevin started, but Kei quickly cut him off with a "Look that's not it so just drop it okay?". Slightly sighing Kevin nodded as he returned back to their brief moments of silence once again. It was true Kevin was sorry for staring at her in her panties, but he has faith in her and respects her so he stayed quiet as a mouse. A sweat drop appeared on Kei's red hair as she groaned out loudly.
"You know consciences can be a real pain in the ass sometimes. Look Kev I'm sorry I snapped, but I just want you to know I am not one of those bleeding heart types who blabs their life story to kill time" Kei replied.
5 minutes later.
"And she left me..that...BITCH just left me on the doorsteps of some stupid ass orphanage. Didn't see nor hear anything from her again, hell I don't even know if my father is alive or dead or if he left or whatever" Kei said. Whether it was a short amount of time or a long amount of time, Kevin could clearly see this talk was needed. He felt such a warm hearted connection to Kei that he couldn't help but acknowledge her need for a talk.
Kevin smiled and nodded "Thanks for sharing Kei and thanks for proving me right". Turning her baffled green eyes at Kevin, Kei asked him what he meant by that. Kevin said "No matter who I asked or what file I looked up you always have constantly referred to the statement of life being tough. You always say that you gotta be tough in life, because it's an even tougher lesson to take. And all this time I had always wondered where you got it.
But now I see. You realized right when you could form thoughts that your life wasn't gonna be easy, that you had to be strong to get through things. Being abandoned by faceless parents who you'll never know or even hear of until god knows when. You don't like to be touched, held, hugged, or saved like a baby or any other girl because you like to take care of yourself. You take care of yourself because in all honesty, no one ever has done it for you.
You learned to deal with things, be tough or be beaten, dog eat dog, and it earned you a great reputation as a bad ass 3WA trouble consultant. But it also gave your heart a lot of downtime, left it in the dark you could say". When the young boy peeked another glance at Kei, she was looking right at him. The most beautiful blush crept into their cheeks and bloomed a rosy red color. They were connecting in eyes, in heart, in words, and even in love.
Their eyes couldn't stop staring and sharing this wonderful moment of warmth that filled both their hearts with sensations of pure love and wonder. Kevin's whole life had been built upon this moment that he had dreamed of. In all that blue haired head of his, Kevin's soul has yearned to be burnt with the fire of Kei's flames. To feel the love that she so arrogantly refused to share with the world, and to see the beauty even she can't see with her eyes.
"How can you do that?" Kei said with a heart loving smile. Kevin smiled replying "Do what?", "Just look at me and talk like you've known me all my life?". Kevin chuckled softly "Just because your heart is a closed book, doesn't mean I can't read it". Slowly leaning back against the wall, Kei crossed her arms over her knees and wiggled her feet with boredom. "It's funny you know me better then I know myself, and I'm clueless about you".
Once again Kevin chuckled at Kei's words, cautiously he decided to lean back and stay beside Kei. There was a great deal of worry on the young boy's face that doing so was pushing things to fast. But all that worry faded away once he felt Kei's head warmly leaning against his shoulder, she smiled and closed her eyes. Kevin blushed brightly and gently hugged her. "Tell me about your self" Kei asked, Kevin sighed happily and nodded.
"When I was a kid I had always dreamed about going out to the world and being a big adventure seeker, looking for excitement and danger. Just like you. Unfortunately my brains were clearly more needed at my parent's work place then my heart was. I had to stay at home a lot and become sort of a techno genius loner. I worked on stuff like Video games, VR systems, digital sound enhancement, even the music mixers for techno music".
Kei smiled and laughed "Hey I love listening to that stuff". Kevin blushed and smiled as he continued "But no matter what cool gadget I helped create I always found my heart outside of the labs. Wanting to go out on space travels, shoot a plasma gun, catch criminals, hell even blow up a building or 2". Kei smirked "The words of a true hearted 3WA troubled consultant".
Kevin nodded "I had always wanted to be one since I heard about the 3WA and their agents. But as you can tell I never dreamed I would get the chance to meet you, the person I idolize, worship and most especially admire". Immediately Kei became flustered with brightening red blushes, mumbling words of mere babble at all the compliments. She was clearly shy by all this. Kevin sighed though as he looked to the ground, blinking brown eyes softly.
"Hey Kev what's wrong? Don't tell you're scared of those 2 goofballs up there trying to kill us, I'll barbecue their asses no prob" Kei smirked. But slowly Kevin shook his blue haired head to Kei. "No it's not that at all, it's just..." Kevin paused, moments of embarrassed discomfort flashed out. Looking at this instantly melted away her bad ass persona, clearly seeing this was important to Kevin. "Hey it's okay you can tell me" Kei said smiling.
After feeling the strong yet warm warmth of her hand on his shoulder, Kevin subsided and spilled his dark painful secret. "When your friends at the 3WA get here there's no way the BCAN can touch me, especially with you protecting me. And it saddens me because I won't be able to spend anymore time with you. This life, this adventure wild life that you got..it's so precious, so wonderful. All along I have wanted to taste what you tasted.
To feel the heat of an exploding car in my hair, to smell the smoke of a fired blaster gun, and watch the pain come to on a guy's face when you bust him. But I'm just gonna be drabbed back up into another lab again.don't even know how to fire a gun" Kevin said. Frowning at the poor boy's distraught problem she could imagine how hard it had to be. Not being able to follow your dreams, just watch them pass you by in a lab like some caged animal.
Checking back with her digital wrist communicator, which was still leading Yuri and Poporo to their signal. Though the mounds of metal, steel, and lead above was blocking all radio contact. Kei saw that they still had at least another 2 hours before they got rescued. Suddenly Kei stood up on her red boots and propped Kevin up as well. Kevin blinked as Kei gave him her gun.
"I think that's something we change. We still got some time before the Rescue rangers come and dig out butts on out of here, so why not practice plasma gun shooting. I mean who else could teach you but the best" Kei said with a wink and a grin. Kevin smiled brightly as his eyes sparkled greatly.
Kevin's Thoughts
I don't believe it.she's gonna teach me. YES, YES, YES! I can't believe this is happening, this is the best day of my life. I'm trapped down in a basement with the woman of my dreams, and she's gonna teach me how to shoot a gun. But just not any gun THE gun, her gun. HA! HA! Oh KEI I LOVE YOU..I just wish I had the guts to make you see that.
Kei's Thoughts
Who would have guessed that being locked down in a dungeon with my number one fan would be so.fun. HA! Boy I got to tell ya that Kev is something else. He knows the secret code to the most powerful new energy source on the world, and all along he's dreamed of doing my job. Even if he does look a bit young.he's not that bad looking. In fact.he's kind of .cute. He's nice.warm.kind.faithful.he admires me..wow.
"Hey Kei you gonna be spacing out all day or you gonna help me blow some cans?" Kevin said with a laugh. Sporting a smug like smirk Kei laughed and got behind Kevin, wrapped arms over his as together they held the gun. "All right, all right don't get your balls in a band now let's get you fired up" Kei said with a smirk. A row of cans found in the rubble were lined up on a busted make shift table. Kevin smirked.aimed.hit the trigger.and FIRE!
Lying here with you
Listening to the rain
Smiling just to see the smile upon your face
These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments
I'll remember all my life
I found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
Looking in your eyes
Seeing all I need
Everything you are is everything to me
These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
These are the moments I know all I need is this
I have all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
Every prayer has been answered
Every dream I have's come true
And right here in this moment is right where I'm meant to be
Here with you here with me.
(Edwin Mccain singing "I could not ask for more")
BANG! The final blast of energy shattered through the glass bottle like it was paper, a great panting smile appearing on Kevin's face. "I can't believe it..you did it Kei, I just blew away those cans and bottles with perfect aim" Kevin said. A laugh followed as Kei smiled patting Kevin on the back, "Awe don't start buttering my ass up that was all you Kev" Kei said warmly. Kevin turned around and handed Kei back her gun, returning her happy grin.
"You can't imagine what you've done for me Kei. Just by meeting me, talking with me, everything has changed my life forever and I just" Kevin stopped. Slowly Kei leaned in as her eyes began to sparkle a bit, as if hoping for something. "Yes?" Kei said as she gulped and closely listened to Kevin. Sweat started to appear on the boy's forehead as he slowly formed words, "I just wish..I could.repay you back..somehow" he started to stare again.
The blue lines of Kevin's hair were getting closer, which means Kei could see he was leaning his head in too. Their eyes got closer and closer, as their hearts began to beat in unison. Something warm and big was grower at an alarming rate. Yet despite all of their time together, nothing could prepare the other for what they hoped and preyed was about to happen right now. Slowly Kei closed her eyes, lips parting. Kevin gulped and did the same.
Kevin whispered "Kei".
Kei replied "Kevin".
Scolaris and Orion laughed "DEAD".
BANG!
To be continued.
(I know I already used this kind of ending but hey, gotta stick with what works )
