Chapter Nine.
Kai walked inside the hotel room where he and Ray had been sharing. He sat down on the couch as Ray put his medicines in the cupboard where they could easily be found. Then he walked over to Kai and sat down.
"Hey Kai?"
"Yeah?"
"You know your allergies?"
"Yes, for a long time now."
"Sorry, well with the treatments like the ones that didn't work?"
"Yeah, well, um, scratch that, which are your worst?"
"In what way? The most occurring one, the hardest to treat or the worst reaction?"
"All."
"Well Dust and food are the most occurring, the hardest to treat are the medical ones, and the worst reaction is bee stings. Why?"
"Well, while you were in hospital I was walking around and I found a room for blood tests, and I was thinking, no it's to farfetched."
"No, Ray, I've tried every solution under the sun, nothing is to farfetched."
"Well, could it be possible for you to receive a bone marrow transplant, or a transplant of some kind."
"and what would this transplant do?"
"Well I'm not sure but it might build up your immune system to some allergies, like take some stem cells from somebody who isn't allergic to anything and that might help you."
"That's clever."
"What?"
"Thinking of that. Of course it's not as simple as you put it. But that could a breakthrough."
Ray smiled.
"Do you know why I have so many allergies?" Ray shook his head.
"Before I was born the doctors suspected that I might end up having SCID. So they did all sorts of tests and genetic swaps on me. When I was born they tested me again, I didn't have it so they were all happy, but just because I didn't have it doesn't mean I wasn't affected in some way by it. I ended up with a heap of allergies. But still, it's better than having SCID."
"Kai, what's SCID?"
"Severe combined immunodeficiency. Basically the child affected has no immune system and has to live in a plastic bubble all their life protected against all germs. Other wise they could die."
"Does Mr. D know this?"
"Not the whole story."
"So you don't have SCID but what?"
"Allergies, but they're not really allergies. It's just a reaction. I didn't end up with the disease but I have a extremely fragile and weak immune system. So I have to be careful of getting sick."
"Oh, so would my idea work?"
"It might, they've tried it before on a SCID victim but he died. I might just get terribly sick if it fails. But I don't really know we'd have to ask the experts."
"Could we?"
"Sure."
Kai got up to take his medicine.
******Rays POV******
I watched Kai get up and go take his medicine, I turned around and turned on the T.V. then I heard gagging sounds.
I turned around and saw Kai doubled over. It looked like he was going to cough up a fur ball. I ran over to him.
"Cripes Kai, are you okay?"
He nodded weakly. "Can you go get my black bad from the bathroom." Kai went into another coughing fit. I ran and got the bag as quick as possible.
When I got back I handed the bag to Kai. He fumbled around in the bag, he pulled out a little bottle and a needle. He tried to load up the needle but couldn't do it. I took the items off him and did it for him. "What now?" I asked. Kai couldn't answer, he was going in to convulsions but he managed to hold out his right arm. He nodded at me.
I took his arm in my hand and pulled up some skin. I pushed the needle in and ejected the stuff in to him.
He collapsed into my arms. I dropped the needle and held him until he stopped shaking.
His breathing eventually calmed down and he was able to talk.
"What was that stuff Kai?"
"Glection." (That is totally made up okay?)
"What's that?"
"My favourite poison."
"P-poison?"
"Heh heh, it's a medication Ray, it's the only one that I don't react to really."
"What does it do?"
"It stops convulsions. Which is good because that's a major reaction for me."
"So you don't react to this one?"
"Nope."
"Maybe you should get some rest though."
"Good idea."
Kai tried to get up, he did for about 10 seconds before collapsing from exhaustion. I picked him up and carried him into the bedroom.
I laid him down on his bed. I slowly undressed him so not to wake him.
God he is beautiful. I thought as I put some boxers and a loose shirt on him.
I got into bed myself. I'm not gay am I? No, of course not. _____________________________________________________________________
There you go. I hope you like it.
Just a couple of things. I don't know if bone marrow or any other transplant of that kind actually works, but in this story it does. SCID is an actual disease as far as I know, and the info I got on the transplant and the dying boy I got form a real book so I honour that Book, 'The boy in the bubble' by Ian Strachan. But in the future what I put in on it unless otherwise stated is made up by me. Like the whole Kai was partially cured in the womb. That was MY idea, hence NOT real.
The medicine info in this story is basically made up, because I can't find the proper info else where.
And finally Ray is not gay, Kai is just plain beautiful.
I hope you liked it.
