"I wonder what's wrong with Kai." Ray mused to himself, as he and the others walked inside the hospital towards Tyson's room. Max turned to stared at him.
"What are you saying, Ray! Tyson is the one in the hospital not Kai!" he exclaimed, as they reached the room, and saw Kai leaning against the wall, he looked deep in thought. "Hi, Kai!" The blond greeted, as he completely missed the annoyed look on Kai's face. "you're sure early today! Have you seen Tyson yet?" he asked him, and Kai moved away from the wall.
"Yes, and I'm leaving." He stated and walked pass them.
"I wonder what's up with him." Hilary said, and all missed the concerned look on Ray's face.
"Leave him alone." He told them, "come on, we came to say hi to Tyson." He said, and knocked on the door, and when he heard Tyson replied, he opened the door and they stepped inside.
"Hey buddy, how are you feeling?" Max asked, as he offered Tyson a warm smile.
"I'm fine." Was the short replied from the midnight-haired teen.
"We heard that you collapse from lack of food." Hilary informed him, "and here I thought you needed to eat less." She said, and Tyson glared at her, not finding the joke funny at all. "Jeez, sorry." She said.
"When are you getting release?" Kenny asked him.
"The doctor said that tomorrow morning I could go." Kenny nodded.
"Then I guess we'll came for you tomorrow." He said, and Tyson shook his head.
"No need," he began, "I need to think about something." He said, as he lowered his head, and the others looked at each other. Ray, who was standing close to the door, suddenly spoke.
"Guys, I need to go and take care of something." He explain, and the others didn't asked him, as he opened the door and left.
Kai collapse on his bed, after he had finished taking a shower and changing clothes. And he was soon asleep. He was awaked however, by several knocks on his door, and he sleepily went to answered it, only to discover that the one knocking was Ray. "What is it?" he asked him, and the other teen looked nervous.
"I was just wondering if you were OK." Ray told him, and Kai raised a brow. "I mean, you have been acting strange, and Tyson too." He explained further, seeing Kai's confuse expression. Kai in turn run a hand through his messed up hair and sighed.
"I'm fine, and Tyson always acts strange." He lied, "thanks anyways." He added, seeing the doubtful expression of the other teen. Ray sighed, totally knowing that Kai was been stubborn, as usual.
"Alright then, but if you need to talk to someone, I'm here." He said, and he left. Kai closed the door and lean on it. He knew that even though he wanted to say what was happening to someone, he couldn't and would not say anything; that had been the promised he had made to Tyson.
Damn it Tyson, you're being stubborn again! Kai thought, and he smiled fondly, I guess that's something we have in common.
Tyson stayed awake, listening to the beeping sound of the machine next to him. He was getting quite annoyed of it, and he was happy that he would be out of the hospital tomorrow, but flashes of his and Kai's conversation would appear and ruin his happy mood. He also had to admit that Kai was right. Even though he hated to admit it.
"What do I do now?" he asked himself, as he saw the clock change over to two o'clock in the morning, "now I can't even sleep!" he cried in frustration. This is going to be a long night. He thought, as he saw the clock change to 2:01 AM.
Kai awoke, finding out that he had slept all day and through the night. He looked at his clock which read 5:47 AM. He stood, and went to take a shower, there was no point in trying to go back to sleep. As he brush his teeth, he threw the blade in the waste basket and put on a jacket and left the dojo, he needed to clear his mind; a fine mist was covering everything. As he walked along side the river, he saw a person lying on the grass, as he walked closer he was surprise to see that it was Tyson.
"Tyson?" he called to him, and the teen slowly opened his eyes.
"…Kai? What are you doing here?" he asked him, and Kai sat besides him.
"I should be asking you the same thing." Kai said, and there was a long pause before Tyson spoke.
"I'm sorry." He said, and Kai almost missed the quiet whispered. Kai shook his head.
"…Tyson?" Kai began, and the shorter teen turned his head a little to see Kai.
"What is it?" he asked him, and Kai found himself leaning close to the midnight-haired teen, they were so close that they were able to feel each others' breathe. What is he thinking? Tyson thought, but his thoughts were interrupted by Kai closing the gap between them. It was a simple touch of lips, but it was enough to make both teens forget about their current problems.
