The Chinese boy hadn't moved since he collapsed in the bathroom, and his breaths were short and strained. That and the steady beat generating from the monitor beside him declared that he still lived, though one look at the sleeping boy and you would think otherwise. The teen's face was pale, almost whiter then the sheets he lay upon and small thin blue veins were visible on his hands and neck. His long raven hair trailed limply down the creases of the duvet and framed his worryingly thin body. A blood stained bandage was wrapped tightly around his left wrist, along with a few other bandages and plasters from where he had fallen on the shattered glass. His rose lips were parted slightly, drawing deep haggard breaths sporadically among the short ones. Thick lashes veiled the golden orbs, hiding them from the view of the slate-haired boy beside him.
Kai sat docile beside the sleeping boy, watching the ragged rise and fall of his pale chest, his strong hands encasing the other's thinner ones. Since their arrival at the hospital, the crimson, tear blurred eyes had remained intently on Rei, never leaving his frail form. He reached forward and brushed a few stray bangs from the younger teen's face, brushing his cheek softly. He hadn't been disturbed as of yet, the White Tigers had yet to arrive since Lee was trying to calm Mariah down, and the rest were waiting. Kai wasn't technically supposed to be in with the neko, but he had refused to leave, and the doctors had given up arguing. So here he sat, waiting for the golden orbs to once again reveal their beauty to the world, and for Rei to wake up, and he was willing to wait, no matter how long it took.
"K-Kai?" The voice was hoarse and quiet. "Wha-what's going on?" The teen slowly opened his crimson eyes and looked in the direction the voice was coming from, the bed. Rei was lying there, staring up at him with confusion etched upon his features. Kai couldn't find the words instantly, but finally replied.
"You're in the hospital. We found you in the bathroom and called an ambulance. You've been out for over three hours." He paused, "We were all so worried."
"Even you?"
"Even me." Rei looked down at the bed-sheets upon hearing this and fiddled with them weakly.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I mean, I didn't mean to worry you…you should have just left me." He muttered, fiddling with the bandage on his wrist. Kai shook his head angrily,
"NO! We wouldn't do that! Why did you do it anyway? We were worried; didn't you think what this would do to your friends, let alone yourself?" Rei didn't reply, just eyed the sheet in his hands, biting his lip nervously.
"Be-because I couldn't stand it anymore. Things were so great, when it was us, the Blade breakers, there as a team. But we split up, and things just went back to the way they were, but worse. Worse because I knew what happiness was, so I longed for it even more." Kai choked back a sob at hearing this,
"Rei, I-I want to be a team again as well. I miss that, but Tyson and Max, they're so happy with the way it is now. And I can't just ditch Tala." Rei nodded sadly,
"I know, I was being selfish. I-I'm sorry." Kai sighed and stroked the raven haired teen's pale cheek gently,
"I, you weren't being selfish. Please, just, don't do it again. I couldn't bear to lose you, I-" He cut himself off as he leaned forward, closing the gap between him and the Chinese boy, locking their lips in a soft but passionate kiss. At first the younger teen didn't react, but at last, his lips moved against Kai's in a reply to the longing in the kiss. As they broke a part and Rei fell into the slate-haired boy's embrace, Kai realised just how perfectly the neko-jin's body fitted against his. It felt so right, holding him in a strong embrace, his arms protecting the boy from and harm that may befall upon him. The boy closed his crimson eyes and nuzzled into the raven locks, savouring the wonderful feeling of the silky hair against his cheek. As soon as their lips had touched, Kai knew this was what he wanted. He wanted to hold the smaller boy in his arms, and wipe away tears perchance they should fall, and rejoice with him when he smiled. He wanted to be with Rei, to have him as his own.
"I love you Rei." He whispered softly.
"I love you too Kai." Came the reply as they broke apart, gazing into each others eyes.
"I-" The Chinese boy was cut off as a wave of nausea washed over him and he wavered, dark spots dancing before his eyes. Slowly the boy fell back onto the sheets, slipping once again from consciousness. Kai stroked his soft hair and sat on the bed beside the sleeping boy. There would be troubles yet too come, and he would have to make sure that Rei didn't do anything like that again, but for now. For now, Kai was happy just to sit and watch over the one he loved, and protect him from anything and everything that threatened his life. Nothing else mattered to him right now, nothing but the unconscious neko-jin.
Ok, so, it doesn't seem finished, and it may well not be. Tell me what you want me to do with it next. Thank you all!
