Poisonous Thoughts
Ch3. Case of the Mornings.
Ray bolted up in bed wrapping his arms around himself as the fridge morning air told him Kai stole all the blankets. He casually glanced over to find that the slate haired boy was no longer in bed but an unusual mound of blankets had piled up on the floor. Flopping across the bare he picked through the mound to find it was missing the person he sought after. Ray jumped to his feet, panicking that Kai might have wondered off, chasing a hallucination or looking for something he forgot about earlier. He strode quickly across the bedroom, trying to keep calm and noticed the bathroom door was slightly wedged open.
Ray's POV
I didn't realize how tired I was! I didn't even notice that Kai had stolen all the blankets let alone leave!
I tried to calm down as I leaned up against the slightly open door and eased it open. Kai was propped against the wall looking nearly dead, yet his chest was slowly heaving and his eyelids flickered with untold thoughts. (A/N: sounds awful observant for any normal person, huh?)
I knelt down next to him, my pants instantly absorbing a part of the puddle that refused to evaporate since yesterday evening.
"Great, now you're soaked again." I mumbled, knowing if I was getting wet just kneeling there, he had to be drenched from sleeping there.
I was about to rouse him when I had the sudden urge to lean into him and kiss his slightly parted lips. I hesitantly hovered over his lips, taking in his surprisingly pungent aroma and the delicate sight before me. I inhaled deeply and tilted my head to but a better angle and closed my eyes. I was mere centimeters away when I feel a hand take hold of my shoulder.
"What are you doing?" Kai says coldly, pushing me back.
"Just checking that you still breathing!" I lied as a deep blush spread across my entire face.
Kai stared suspiciously at me, examining my holey fib but dismissed it instead of prying deeper, and for that I was relieved.
"Well I am." Kai growled and forced himself to stand.
He wobbled as dizziness ran rampant in his eyes. I placed my hand on his shoulder and pulled him into my grip, feeling the blush make it's way across my checks again. I lead him out and allowed him to change before taking him to the kitchen.
"You should try to eat something. I'll cook ya just about anything, as long as it too hard." I offered seating him at the tiny Japanese style table.
I was more than happy to prove my usefulness and just being able to help him made me feel more complete and content with my crush on him.
"This will do." Kai said flatly as he took an apple from the fruit bowl on the table.
I groaned inwardly, I really wanted to cook something for him. I tried not to show my depression and turned towards the door.
"I'll go get your medicine." I said trying not to let the pain that was slowly corroding away my heart, leak from my voice.
But even if he doesn't know how much such a simple rejection like that hurt, I was able to take comfort on the fact that at least I'll wasn't useless like Tyson is.
Kai's POV
I'm really staring to wondering about that Neko-Jin. That most defiantly wasn't how he normally acts in the morning. But I'll worry about him later, now I need to focus on that on last night. My last memory was seconds before I took the medicine that doctor left me. I wonder if what happened last night has anything to do with Ray's irregular behavior.
My mind began to muse about several possibilities before I realized how off topic I was.
"Gah!" I shouted lowly ruffling my hair a bit.
I need to focus on that doctor, get out of my head Ray! I screamed at myself, pulling together the scattered bits of concentration.
Right, about that doctor, he seems just as strange as my loss of memory. How many doctors carry prescription medicines, regardless of how common an illness is. Besides that just… isn't… right…
I paused as a giant tortoise waddled in from the garden. I rolled my eyes in disgust and tracked it with my peripherals.
The turtle was surprisingly fast and waddled to sit opposite from me. It smiled goofily and chuckled softly.
"Howdy, Blader!" It shouted cheerfully.
I glared daggers at it, silently promising a swift demise if it didn't vanish soon.
Apparently it got the message and took the liberty to walk away, heading down the hall leading to Ray's and my room. I tried to lean to watch where the tortoise was heading but was unable to lean that far and fell to the floor.
At least I was able to watch where it was heading. The turtle slowed to stop as Ray approached his position.
"Howdy Blader!" It shouted cheerfully as Ray got near.
Being my hallucination, Ray didn't respond to it or even glance it's way. The turtle grumbled faintly then twisted it's head after Ray.
"Snude!" It glowered loudly and fumed off own the hall.
I growled at the turtle's misjudgment and frowned as a pair of legs blocked my view of the turtle.
Normal POV
"Kai, why are you laying like that?" Ray asked taking not that Kai was sideways on the floor with his legs and arms crossed as though the ground was on the wrong side.
Kai shot him a you-don't-want-know glare and futily tried to push himself back up. Ray held in a laugh as he the normally strong blader was unable to simple lift himself from the floor.
Ray knelt down and hooked his arms under Kai's and pulled him to his feet. Kai trembled and began sinking to floor but Ray forced him back up.
"Ray. I really don't mind sitting back down." Kai growled, somewhat annoyed that he was being forced to waste his energy on standing.
"Sorry I thought maybe you wanted to back to the bedroom." Ray said sincerely as he slowly lowered Kai to the floor.
"I'd rather not." Kai said shortly, having no desire to chase after his hallucination.
"I'm not even gonna ask." Ray stated dryly, knowing he missed something.
Then he dug around his pocket and pulled out the pill bottle Kai had received earlier. He grunted as he twisted off the childproof cap. He growled at the bottle for making a fool of him. He shook out one of the large green and yellow capsules and held it out to Kai.
"Here." He said drawing Kai's attention to his out stretched hand.
Kai stared at his hand, gritting his teeth in annoyance as Ray's hand began to shake and then split into 7 jittery hands. Kai frowned and slowly reached out, slicing through the illusions and taking Ray's tangible hand.
Kai's vision cleared long enough for him to take the capsule with his other hand and raise it to his face.
Kai glared at it, there was still doubt about the pills authenticity that worried him. He rolled it to his finger tips then back to his palm and back again. Observing the sloshing liquid that made it rock to a stop. He took it up between his thumb and forefinger, squishing it easily. The thick blue green ooze slide down his fingers, dripping in thick globs into his hand.
"Kai!" Ray gasped, but then quickly agitated at Kai's actions.
Ray grumbled under his breath as he took out another pill and grabbed a glass of water he had set out earlier. He looked fretful as he gently tipped Kai's head back and pushed the pill into his mouth and pressed the glass to his lips. He tipped, causing half the water to trickle from his mouth and the other half washing down the medicine.
He quickly withdrew the glass and Kai began coughing up the water that trying to suffocate him. Ray slammed down the glass and began rubbing Kai's back, helping to comfort Kai's fits of coughing. After Kai had quit he lightly squeezed Kai's shoulder and went to clean the glass.
"Was it really that hard to do it you self?" Ray said testily to the now pissed Kai.
Kai was just about ready to attack when out of nowhere the giant tortoise retuned and screamed in his ear,
"Howdy Blader!" It shouted just as gleefully as the first time.
Kai leapt about five feet in air, landing in Ray's arms. Kai immediately began shouting and swearing, struggling against Ray to try and strangle the hallucination.
Kai energy suddenly fled from him and he went completely limp and fell against Ray's chest. His breathing slowed and his eyes unwillingly were forced closed as he drifted to dreamland.
"Stupid turtle." Kai mumbled and passed out.
"Turtle?" Ray said blinking dumbfoundly.
If you think this one was weird, stay tuned for next chapter. I guarantee it will blow this one outta the water in weirdness. But I'm still lookin' for a better name, I've gotten a few suggestions but… sorry guys it's not exactly what I'm looking for.
