Dark Magician opened his eyes. He was in his bed, all wrapped up and warm. His mind instantly went to what happened.

Maybe it was all just a dream... Maybe everything was a huge dream, from when the red Dark Magician started to beat me up to when he... his thought trailed off when he saw Celtic Guardian walk through the door.

"Oh my god your up!" the elf ran over to Dark Magician's side. "What happened to you? I was so worried- I-I-" Celtic Guardian choked.

Dark Magician realized what his friend was talking about. It did happen... Everything was real.

"Dark Magician what happened? I came by because I just went shopping, because I thought you wanted something and the door was unlocked, so I let myself in..." Celtic Guardian breathed heavily and continued. "I called to you, but you didn't answer, so naturally I went upstairs to see if you were in your room. When I went in I saw the bed was messed up with blood on it. I took a step and slipped and saw there was blood on the floor, going from the bed and out of your room. I followed it to your bathroom and saw you in the tub, asleep. The water was red and you looked pale..." Celtic Guardian gulped. "I took care of you and... well... here we are..."

Dark Magician looked into the elf's eyes. That look flashed in them again. Why? Why couldn't he place it...

"Thank you Celtic Guardian, you always show up when I need you the most," Dark Magician tried to smile. "No I don't! I never do! Why couldn't I have been there before you got that bruise under your chin? Why couldn't I have been there when this happened?" Celtic Guardian demanded.

Before Dark Magician could reply the warrior cut him off.

"Now tell me what happened! Who did this?"

"When you left I went into my house and..." Dark Magician hesitated, this would be to hard for him to lie about. "I... I got cut on my chest, then I... I hit myself there and I stated to bleed. When I fell and got my face bruised again."

"Dark Magician it looks like someone cut you. It's way too deep for a normal cut and it looks like a hand did that," Celtic Guardian removed Dark Magician's covers and softly traced lines on the bandages where the slashes were.

"And there well... I had to clean you up..." Celtic Guardian hesitated, embarrassed. He looked at the spellcaster and saw he was equally embarrassed. "It looked like you were bleeding from the inside..."

Dark Magician's eyes lowered. "Yes well I... I..." Dark Magician looked up and saw Celtic Guardian narrow his eyes. "I-I'm very sensitive a-and I bleed easily, so I guess that's how it happened, huh?" Dark Magician laughed trying to disguise his obvious lie.

"Tell ME!" Celtic Guardian took Dark Magician by the shoulders and whipped him out of bed. Dark Magician gasped and faced the elf, fury blazed in his yellow eyes. "Dark Magician tell me!" I'm your friend, your best friend!" pleaded Celtic Guardian.

Dark Magician violently moved his body to get away. Celtic Guardian tried to grip the spellcaster's shoulder and accidently slapped the spellcaster in the face.

Dark Magician backed away shaking his head slightly in shock. "You want to do it too, you want to back me into the wall too!"

"Dark Magician what are you-"

"You want to take me out of that bed just to throw me back on it!"

Celtic Guardian's eyes widened and knew what Dark Magician was saying. "Dark Magician I'm sorry..." the elf took a step toward the spellcaster.

"Stay back! Your just like him! How could you be my friend? I trusted you! You take me by the shoulders then you hit me? Why you too? WHY YOU TOO?" screamed Dark Magician.

"Dark Magician what are you saying? I want to hurt you? I would never do anything to something so beautiful-" Celtic Guardian gasped.

Dark Magician's eyes widened. "What?"

Celtic Guardian bowed his head to hide his blush.

Seconds went by and the room stayed silent.

"I'm sorry Dark Magician, for hitting you," Celtic Guardian whispered finally. "I know what your going through is painful, I just don't what to see you get hurt. It's ok, you don't have to tell me who did this to you now. Just tell me soon. Because I care about you."

Dark Magician gasped. Cares about me?He trusted the elf and nodded, his eyes clouded, and looked down.

"You had better get back in bed," Celtic Guardian moved over to the spellcaster and gently moved him towards the bed. Dark Magician hesitantly sat down. "Now let me have a look at you..." Celtic Guardian carefully began to unwrap Dark Magician's bandages.

"Your very thin, why? Do you have enough money to buy food?" asked the elf and he pressed a cloth with warm water on the spellcaster's body. He gasped in pain and panted, "It's not that- I-I just don't eat that much anymore, remember I n–never ate that much anyway..."

"But look at you, I can see your ribs now," Celtic Guardian gently touched Dark Magician's stomach.

"Stop!" Dark Magician hit Celtic Guardian's hand away.

The elf recoiled back, looking sad. "Dark Magician..."

The spellcaster stared at him. "I'm sorry- I-I just don't want anyone touching me like that."

"Like what? I-" Celtic Guardian began, then he stopped. "Never mind..." he whispered and looked at the spellcaster. He closed his eyes and smiled warmly.

Dark Magician felt a flutter in his stomach when he saw that smile.

What was he feeling?

What?

Celtic Guardian's smile was soft and heartwarming. It was just the thing the spellcaster needed to lift his spirit, a caring smile from his friend.

Or was he more than that?

Did the smile mean more or that look the elf always got in his eyes?

Could it be...

Impossible... Never... I could never care for someone that much, that monster would find out... And I would be punished along with the one I loved more than anyone... Even if he did love me like that, I could never love him back...

Dark Magician felt his eyes fill with tears.

Why now? Why am I crying?

Dark Magician felt his body lean forward and he wrapped his arms around Celtic Guardian. He hugged him tightly, his wounds forgotten. Celtic Guardian gasped a little and returned the hug, embracing the spellcaster lovingly.

He swayed slightly from side to side as the magician cried.

Dark Magician felt safe in Celtic Guardian's arms, nothing could get him here.

He never wanted to let go...

Never...
