Frozen Love Chapter 24
Kai was sound asleep in his hospital bed. The IV still injected into his arm and his leg still bandaged. His body still ached with pain and soreness though his mind was at ease. For the first time in years he could say he was truly happy. He had everything he wanted. The love of his life, caring and supportive friends and future without pain or abuse. Of course he was still aware of the curveballs life would throw at him, he was prepared. He heard his door open and awakened. It was Ray.
"You're awake." He commented sitting down. Kai gave a slight nod.
"Where's Tyson?"
Ray smiled.
"Always thinking of him aren't you?"
Kai stared at him, awaiting his answer.
"He's asleep. Poor guy is exhausted."
"That's my fault…" Kai muttered, feeling guilty.
"True. But you know he wouldn't have it any other way."
"I guess so…"
"How are you feeling?"
"Still a bit sore…but for the most part I'm ok."
"That's good. Soon you'll be out of here!"
"I hope. This place is too stuffy." Ray smiled.
"So…how about you and Mariah?"
Ray blushed.
"Um well..wait how did you know!"
Kai grinned.
"A little Tyson told me."
"Ah. Well I guess you could say we're together."
"You love her?"
"Yeah. With all my heart."
"Good."
Ray stared at the crimson eyed boy. Then he smiled. Kai had lighted up since being with Tyson, now, the true Kai was free. Of course nothing could rid Kai of his stubbornness but to Ray, the team wouldn't be as tough without it.
Hours had past, Ray had left and for a while Kai had fallen asleep. Tyson came back and found his lover sleeping peacefully. He smiled and sat down. Hearing the noise Kai's eyes slid open.
"Oh, sorry I didn't mean to wake you." Tyson grinned sheepishly.
"It's ok. I don't mind." Kai said, sitting up.
"Hey Tyson!" the door swung open and Max came running in.
"What's up Max?"
"Wow Kai you look a lot better!" he said happily. Kai gave a small smile.
"Thanks Max.."
"Hehe, sure. Oh right! Anyway, Tyson it's your dad! Your dad is here!"
"What? My dad? Are you serious?" Tyson asked in disbelief.
"No! He just got here!"
"Really? Well were is he?"
"Right here."
Behind Max stood Tyson's father. He looked happy to see his son but also slightly concerned.
"Tyson..."
"Dad!" he exclaimed and ran into his father's open arms.
"I missed you dad!"
"I did too son. I did too..." After a few moments Tyson pulled away.
"Dad I..."
"Are you ok? Mr. Dickinson said you weren't hurt but I wasn't about to believe it until I saw you."
"I'm ok dad! You know how tough I am!" Tyson said, punching his own chest a bit to prove it. Mr. Kinomiya grinned.
"I'm glad...oh but Kai.." he said addressing the Russian who'd been awkwardly watching the father and son reunion.
"Mr. Dickinson told me what happened to you and I have to say I'm relieved to see you looking so well."
"Thank you sir...but I wouldn't be the way I am if it weren't for your son."
Mr. Kinomiya smiled. "Of course."
Tyson stared up at his father, wondering.
The blood transfusion is all dad sees right now...I...have to tell him the truth about Kai and I... but not just yet...I can't tell him now. It's not the right time.
"Man it feels so good out today!" Mariah said stretching her arms out. Ray nodded in agreement. It was a beautiful day and it was because of that that he and Mariah had decided to go out for lunch.
"So Mariah were do you want to go?"
"Good question...I've never even been here before."
"That's true...well. We might as well look for something that looks interesting." he said.
"As long as I'm with you." she smiled.
He took her hand and they continued to walk, looking for a decent place to eat.
"So I assume your father has no clue about us?" Kai asked, once Tyson's father had went off with Mr. Dickinson for lunch.
Tyson sighed and let his head drop into Kai's lap.
"None whatsoever." Kai lifted his hand to Tyson's head, slipping off the boys hat and running his hands through his love's silky blue hair.
"I want to tell him.." he said, feeling relaxed with Kai's touch. "But I'm not sure how he'd react. I mean he seems like the type to be ok with it but what if he's not."
"You're right. But it's up to you to decide. He's your father...and you should do what you think is best. I wish I could feel for you...but..."
"It's ok Kai." he said sitting up. Tyson cupped Kai's cheek and kissed him.
"I love you and to me that's all that matters. I don't care whether people don't accept it or not. I just...hope my dad does."
"I'm sure he will." Kai said, pulling the boy forward by his shoulders and kissing him deeply. Tyson's arms slid around his shoulders, letting his tongue enter Kai's mouth. They deepened the kiss, adding more and more passion to it until they were both out of breath. Tyson smiled and hugged Kai around his waist, resting his head on his chest. The Russian laid down, pulling his boyfriend with him, stroking his hair. No words needed to be said. They both knew it was love.
"I'm glad we chose this place. It's nice." Ray smiled.
"Yeah me too. Not too fancy...just right." Mariah grinned as the waiter at the small diner took their order.
"So did the doctors say when Kai would be released from the hospital?"
"As far as I know it's soon. He's recovering...he should be fine soon."
"Good." she smiled.
"Ray I was wondering...are you...going to come back to China with me when this is all over?"
Ray looked surprised at her question.
"What would make you think I wouldn't? I said forever Mariah. I meant it." She blushed.
"But what about the others...I mean you still have the bladebreakers."
"Sure but...even if I have to leave for a while...I'd want you to come with me."
"Really Ray!"
"I did say forever didn't I?"
Mariah squealed with joy and threw her arms around Ray's neck.
"Thank you Ray..."
"I have to tell him...It's driving me crazy. I hate keeping things from him..."
"I know..."
"I'm going Kai.."
"Ok."
Tyson turned to his boyfriend and smiled. Kai still had a grip on Tyson's hand. He squeezed it and let go.
"Good luck love."
"Thank you."
Tyson walked out. Kai sighed and laid back onto his bed.
We'll make it past this...nothing can destroy this.
