:Chapter 1: Always on My mind
Kai's Pov:
I watch him carefully out of the corner of my eye, thick lashes feathering low over his stunning eyes in thought, his peach lips curved gently into an almost-smile.
He's watching the snow.
He's watching as the singular forms of snowflakes are swallowed up by the thick, bedded carpet of white fluff already on the ground…His reflection in the car window shines back at me like a ghost.
I turn away, focusing on the road…Or, at least trying to.
It's hard to think of anything now a days, well, anything…Anyone, other than Tala.
He's been staying with me, for the past couple of months, at my house (psht, its more of a castle …). It's been nice really, having company…Especially having Tala.
He's just…Ack, I don't know.
I've been thinking about him so much of late...The way his smile spreads in that slow, sincere way of his, until it reaches its peak and just…Sparkles.
He's the most beautiful person I know, inside and out. God, I can't even begin to explain...
My eyes widen as a squirrel plants himself firmly in front of the car, forcing me to slow down abruptly…Tala would never forgive if I had run it over.
I glance at Tala as he watches the fuzzy thing scamper out of the glare of the headlights, its brush of a tail disappearing into the dark winter night.
I sigh, allowing myself to relax as the car slowly rolled forth, steadily building speed.
"Thanks Kai…"
I turn to my childhood friend, his blue eyes causing my heart to skip a beat.
"For what?"
He chuckled lightly…The most beautiful sound I've ever heard…Only comparable to the sound of his laughter.
"For not running the poor thing over."
"It's only a matter of time before he gets hit by something." I say, shrugging carelessly.
I watch Tala wince slightly at the thought, allowing my self a bemused nod…It must be quite a burden to feel compassion for all things big and small…
"Yea, well…still-"
A dull thunk cut him off...Hale.
Seconds later, small chunks of ice crash down upon us like rain, along with fresh flurry of snow…
Great.
"Stupid squirrel delayed me." I muttered, almost regretting having spared its life.
Yea, I know. Pretty bad.
"Don't you mean stupid Tyson?"
Tala corrected playfully…
"Stupid Tyson." I growl in turn.
It's true.
If it weren't for Tyson's stupid dinner invitation, we wouldn't be here…
Now it looked like we might end up staying the night at that idiot's dojo…Heaven knows he would insist.
We really shouldn't be here, in this car…We really ought to be back at home (if you could call it a home…But with Tala…He makes it a home…) drinking hot chocolate, and laughing at something…Laughing at ourselves, each other…It wouldn't matter. The point is, we wouldn't be anywhere, if that makes any sense at all.
…We wouldn't be going to a place where we were expected to speak…Where I had to share him…
My angel.
Shake my head…No. That's not right. Tala is not mine...And never will be…
But still I'd hate to think that…Well, that he might ever…
"Kai?"
I glance over at him, his brow is slightly furrowed, the corners of his lips cradling a smile,
"Wasn't that Tyson's house…Back there…?" he spoke softly, eyes sparkling with humor, a thumb jabbing in the opposite directing…An appropriate punctuation.
I sigh, unable to pry the smile from my lips. "Whoops."
He shakes his head, his moonlight blue eyes downcast as the smile grew, "Little distracted, huh?"
You have no idea…
Thankyou to all who reviewed the first chapter...Fancy reviewing a bit more?
