Frozen Love

Chapter 19

He looks like he's in pain

Tyson sat at Kai's side. Refusing to move. It had been hours since Kai had passed out again. Since then Tyson has only left to refresh the cold compress for Kai's sweaty forehead.

What else can I do? I'd do anything for him. But right now I just feel so helpless.

"Tyson?"

"Yeah Chief?"

"C'mon. Why don't you come upstairs and lay down? You look pretty beat."

"No. I'm ok Chief."

"But Tyson.."

"I'm not leaving him." Kenny sighed in defeat and walked back upstairs.

I've never seen anything like it but…those two have really formed a strong relationship.

As said, Tyson stayed by his lovers side. His body shook, he was nervous. He ran his fingers through Kai's sweaty but silky hair, trying to calm himself. Trying to reassure himself that Kai would be alright.

For a brief while I could say he was fine…but now…

Only a matter of time…

Ray looks worried…

"Ray? You ok?"

"Yeah I'm ok Maxie." He smiled, trying to assure him.

"C'mon…let's keep going." Ever since the snow had stared falling again, their walking ground had become harder to walk in. With each step they took, they only fell deeper into the feet of snow that covered the mountain.

Times like this I wish that cabin wasn't so far away from the road…Ray thought as he struggled to pull his foot out of the snow.

The storm is picking up again…Max noted, as the winds felt harsher against his skin.

Huh…this feels…deeper…Ah! Max felt his whole body become cold as he fell through the snow.

"Max?" Ray turned around to find Max gone and replaced with a hole in the snow.

"Max!" he pushed himself up and crawled to the area where Max had fallen, only to fall through himself.

It's so cold…and dark here…where…Ray looked up and saw light shining through a hole where he'd fallen. He shivered and stared at his surroundings. Ice was all around him.

Must be some kind of ice cave…

"Ray? That you?" he heard a voice shout.

It's coming from that wall…Max!

He crawled closer to the wall of ice.

"Max! Are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine. Are you?"

"Just cold. Looks like we're a little stuck."

"Yeah…"

Great…now how are we going to find help?

"Ray…what are we gonna do? Tyson and Kai are counting on us!"

"Don't panic Maxie! We'll get out of here!"

"How?"

"Umm…well I haven't really figured that out yet…"

The way up doesn't look that narrow…maybe I can jump it.

Ray stood, smiling and thank full for the amount of space he had to jump.

Here goes…

He jumped, with all his strength and managed to get half of his body onto the sold snow again.

"Whew…that was close…" he mumbled as he pulled himself up.

Guess being a neko-jin comes in handy

"Ray?"

"Max!" he saw the hole where Max was still trapped, peaking his head down his saw his blonde friend.

"How did you get up there?"

"Jumped."

Max rolled his eyes.

Hehe, he's such a cat.

He's pretty far down there…I might no be able to reach down and grab him unless…

Looking through his bag he pulled out a blanket.

This might work.

"Max! Grab this!"

He let the blanket down as far as it could go so Max could try to reach it.

"Can you grab it?"

"Almost!" He stood on his tip toes, reaching his hands up as far as they would stretch.

"Got it!" he grinned.

"Alright! Hold on I'm going to pull you up!"

Max walked his way up the wall, with Ray's help.

"Almost there…"

Finally, he was close enough and Ray was able to grab his hands and pull him to the surface. They fell in an exhausted heap, panting.

"Wow…thanks Ray." Max said between breaths.

"Sure Maxie….anytime."

I sure hope Ray and Max are ok out there. That storm is really picking up.

"Tyson…" He turned to see Kai's eyes half open, his hand reaching out to him.

"Kai!" he said and walked over to him, taking his hand.

"You ok?"

"Yeah…just tired is all." Kai's voice was hoarse and raspy.

"I'll get you something to drink, you sound awful." He started to get up but Kai didn't release his grip.

"No."

"Huh?"

"Please…just sit here with me."

Is he delirious?

Though his eyes were pleading. A look Tyson rarely saw from his captain and lover.

"Umm..ok…"

Tyson kneeled back down on the floor.

"No Ty…" Kai slowly pushed himself up.

"What are you doing? Kai you need to rest!"

"I will…" he managed to put himself into a sitting position. "Once you're here with me."

Tyson was shocked, but happy at the same time. He sat down next to Kai, who leaned himself on Tyson's shoulder.

"Here, lay down." He said, motioning to his lap. "You'll be more comfortable there."

He was right, he did. And he couldn't help but think he had a better view of his love from there too. He snuggled himself in Tyson's lap, taking in his love's scent. He felt warm and comforted and most importantly, safe. It was as if Tyson's love was perpetually flowing through him. He smiled.

"Love you…" he mumbled before drifting off into a peaceful, feverish sleep.

"I love you too." Tyson said, his hand roaming Kai's hair.

More than ever.
