Chapter 14.
All Over.
He ran through the white mist, barely seeing where he was heading, only directed by the dark figures of the trees. All he wanted to do was find the one he loved but where.
/Somewhere. Close. Wait for me, I'll come. /
/Even if he's dead/
/Even if he's dead, I'll find you Rei and love you. /
-I want to see you smile more often.
I think you smile enough for the both of us.
Rei pouted as he sat on the bridges edge.
Sometimes I think you have no heart, or that you're frozen.
Like a snack?
Haha, no but I just wish you'd be…nicer.
You're weird.
So are you but I ain't complaining.
Kai looked to the light grey sky from which fell the snow.
Do you think I'm cute?
Rei looked up at Kai and smiled.
When you smile, other wise you look like you're about to murder me. Just smile and maybe you'll like it.
And get wrinkled fast? No way.
Just once!
The Russian hugged his friend.
One day Rei, one day I'll smile just for you.
He wanted to keep running but it was too cold. He wanted to find Rei, but he was lost and so his legs gave way. Indeed the snow burned as he touched it.
Kai!
He turned and saw two lights approach him. No. Those where headlights of his car and that was Tala behind the steering wheel.
/I have to get up. /
But he couldn't and so he helplessly watched Tala climb out of the car and run towards him. He probably had frost-bite because he couldn't feel his legs or arms. Tala pulled him onto his back and carried to the car.
Why are you doing this?
But he didn't answer.
The car turned right as Tala headed the car for home. They sat in silence but there were unspoken words lingering between them. They didn't need to speak at all. They both knew it was all over. They didn't need to apologise, each knew how the other felt.
The police office called. They spotted your grandfather and have been following him for quite a while. They think that they have located his hideout or whatever you want to call it. They want to see you tomorrow.
Kai nodded and closed his eyes.
/Tala deserves to cry too, doesn't he Rei/
