Chapter 5:

He's Holding Me!

A stunned expression swept over Yzak's facial features that was soon paired with a sudden blush of light pink, which continued to escalate, as his face rose with heat. Any minute now, Athrun would take notice, and Yzak knew that.

"What do you think your doing!" he questioned as Athrun began to make a path through the rain. "What? Do you think I'd leave you in the pouring rain, injured, and at this time at night?" he replied, with a question of his own. "I don't know," Yzak said semi-truthfully.
"I'd never." the blonde looked away at this. I can't go with him…my moms with that creep…at the thought of Tauji, Yzak cringed. "Athrun…I've got to…I've got to go back…" "Wait till I get you bandaged up" knowing there was no point in fighting with the bluenette, Yzak shut his mouth. It hurt to talk anyway…the pain was intensifying, and the taste and smell of blood was overwhelming.

You'll have to hold on a little longer Mom…then I promise…I'll be back for you, I won't let him hurt you…Just hang on a little longer…Yzak silently prayed as he adjusted himself in the other males arms. Trying not to think a bout him all that much. There was more important matters to be dealt with.

Athrun's Home

The bluenette began to pick up his speed, as the rain raged on, seemingly picking up there tempo as he hurried on. Athrun made another quick turn into a dense forest trail, wishing there was away to run, but Yzak's extra weight wouldn't allow him to move that fast.

He didn't care all that much. Finding out what had happened, and making sure that his friend was safe as well as bandaging his wounds, were more important.
The dark night seemed even darker, now that there were no streetlights, and that the large trees blocked out any source of moonlight. Moments later, a large Victorian Cabin came into view. Yzak couldn't see the exterior design; his eyesight was blurry from blood loss and the fact that the rain was coming so hard, that even the trees were hard to make out.
Athrun hurried up the steps leading up into his present home. Kicking the door open, he sighed softly, doing the same gesture to close the wooden door. Still holding the platinum blonde in his arms, he brushed his clothed elbow against a light switch near the side of the door.
The large room was luminated with light, and for a moment, both males were blinded from the light. "Ath…run…" Yzak muttered through clenched teeth, obviously in more pain. "I know…I'm sorry that took so long…" he said softly, turning his attention to a flight of stairs leading to the second floor. "I'm going to clean you up now…" he said, starting up the flight of stairs. Yzak said nothing to this, closing his eyes with a light nod of his head. Shivering in the cold.

He took notice of this, and began to speed up the walk, soon turning into a nice sized hallway. Athrun pushed open the door closest to the stairs, a spare bedroom. Laying the male in his arms onto the bed, he turned, and in seconds turned off, saying he'd be right back…

YZAK POV

Someone kill me now. Maybe that would bring me back to my senses. I was just carried all the way through a forest in my said rivals arms! And to make this all worse, he was warm and soft to the touch…I've lost it…Maybe its just my damn injurys. This is all Tauji's fault…I swear to god I'm going to kill him. Screw this…

I sigh softly, cuddling into the sudden warmth of the large bed, waiting for Athrun to return with whatever he was getting, most likely a first aid kit or something, who cares…

I don't think I've ever been so drenched in my life. Or, in this much pain. Well…when I got my damn scar…but that was a few years ago, and it had faded nicely, so its all good now. I glance down to see how in tack I am, when I finally notice I'm as wet as a sheet. Moaning I turn my head getting a good look at my new surrounding. I guess this is where I'll be staying…for now at least.

My thoughts are interrupted when the door opens. Athrun's back…

NORMAL POV

The door opens slowly, revealing Athrun. In his hands is, indeed a large white first aid kit with the usual red cross on the front. He begins to walk forward, leaving the large door open, so the light in the hall would lighten up the not-so-bright room.

He sat down at the side of the bed, looking to Yzak. "Take it off." he says sternly.

Not seeing this coming, Yzak shot up, falling back instantly in pain. "What!"

"Take it off…"
