Chapter two:
Heartfelt dreams
"im...Leim. Mister Leim are you okay?" Leim heard his name being called but he couldn't seem to open his eyes.
He could feel a hand on his forehead gentle brushing back his hair.
"Leim-san." Leim finally had the energy to open his eyes. When he did he saw a red one looking back at him.
"Xerxes..."
"Of all times to pass out you...pick the time I tell you I lo..." Leim interrupted him by placing his hand over his mouth.
"Xerxes...don't say it." Leim saw the hurt in Xerxes eyes. His own lowered looking to ground shamefully.
He let his hand fall away. Xerxes took his chin in his hand, making him look up.
"Leim. I. Love. You." Leim felt his heart slam into his chest when he heard those words. Xerxes hand went to cup his cheek. Break smiled.
But it was different this time. As though it was real emotions he were showing.
"Xerx…" He looked away, feeling his face heat up.
"I can't help it. I do..." He mumbled. Leim turned back looking Break up and down. He was beautiful. The way his hair fanned over his cheeks and around his eye...
His eye. Leim felt himself lean in. Break's eye moved to watch what he was doing.
Leim's hand moved up, brushing Break's hair away from both his eyes, so Leim could see all of him clearly.
"Xerxes..." He reached up brushing his hand over his missing one.
The Hatter shivered drawing in a breath. His eye shut as his cheeks flushed.
Leim didn't know what he was doing but he leaned up kissing both Breaks' eye lids gently. His lips then lowered inches from Xerxes' lips.
He wanted to. The pain in his chest told him he wanted and needed Break.
"Stupid Seaweed head, get away from my manservant!" Oz jumped, looking up to see Alice glaring down at him and Gilbert.
"Stupid rabbit! Go away." Gil snapped, starting to get up. Oz pushed him down, gently shaking his head no.
"No, Gil...I'll be back." He grinned as he hopped up. Alice grabbed his arm, dragging him away.
Gil sighed felling his heart sink. That rabbit. She always got in the way of everything.
"Gilbert..." He looked up to see Ada, Oz's younger sister. She smiled down at him.
"May I sit?" She made a tiny motion to the seat beside him. He nodded and smiled trying to be nice and polite.
He really hadn't talked to Ada since Oz fell into the Abyss.
He felt...weird around her now.
"Gilbert,"
"Yes, Ada?" He turned and froze when he noticed her face mere inches from his own.
She leaned in pushing her soft lips against his own. He froze, unable to think. Except for one thing:
Oz. This was wrong. He didn't like Ada. He wanted...his master. His beautiful master.
Oz laughed as he watched Alice pick up a beautiful yellow flower and try to eat it, sniffing it suspiciously.
"Alice, you can't eat that!" He called. She turned to him red in the face.
"But they smell good," She huffed. Oz grinned turning, ready to go back to Gil but froze.
Gil. Ada! His sister and Gilbert were kissing. His heart sank seeing the two together.
But the thing that drove Oz insane was they actually looked good together. He pulled in a shaky half sigh.
Maybe it was better that Gil wouldn't be with him. It would cause Gil too much trouble anyways being a Nightray and all.
There two families weren't meant to mix. Also the facts of them being males. A boy and a man.
Through all of this Oz still felt hurt. He felt his heart shatter. Who was he to kid? He loved Gil and would do anything for his servant.
Leim leaned in kissing Break full on, soft lips moving against the Hatters'.
Leim couldn't believe it. He was kissing Break!
Breaks lips tasted of candy which was no surprise because of his candy addiction.
Break pulled him closer sliding his arms around Leim's' shoulders, deepening the kiss. For the longest time they were just were lost in each other.
They both pulled away at the same time out of breath. Leim felt his face redden and he glanced away.
"Leim Lunettes. You seemed to have enjoyed that." Break chuckled as he laced their hands together.
Leim sighed, looking around to make sure no one was watching. But he also couldn't meet Break's eye.
He then realized what he had to do. The ache in his chest wouldn't ever go away until he was truthful with his feelings.
"I love you...Xerxes." He whispered not even sure if Break heard him. But the Hatter did.
He smiled softly leaning in to press his forehead against Leim's'.
Gil half pushed Ada away, his face beat red.
"Ada!"
"Gil, you like Nii-San, right?" Gil stared at the girl who looked so much like Oz.
"I..." He managed to stutter out.
"Oz, he really likes you Gil. Just look..." Gil turned his eyes to his Masters'. His heart broke seeing the hurt in Oz's green gaze.
"Oz..." Oz turned away looking out over the hill. Gil turned back to Ada.
"Why did you kiss me...if you knew?"
"Because I needed to know for sure. I've always thought there was something between you and Nii-san." She stood up brushing off her dress, and walked away without a second glance.
Gil watched her go wondering if Ada really did think that Oz had feelings for him.
Oz looked out over the land below. It was a beautiful landscape, but he didn't notice.
"Oz." Oz back stiffened upon hearing Gil's sweet voice. Arms came around his waist pulling him close.
"Oz...I don't like Ada." Gil mumbled. He rested his chin on Oz head.
"I..." Oz felt relieve well up in his chest.
"Oz...I like someone else." And the relief was gone.
"The person I like is smart, kind, and beautiful. That person has the most beautiful eyes..." Gil ran his hands though the blonde's hair but the boy took no notice to it.
He was too lost in thought. Who did Gil like? If it wasn't Ada...then was it Alice, or Sharon? Break!
"Oz." Oz pulled away from him hearing his name.
"Gil so who do you like? What's there name?" Oz grinned trying to hide the hurt but Gil saw it.
"Oz you don't get it..." He sighed smiling down at his Master.
"Get what?" Oz's face went red and Gil took a deep breath.
"The person I love. His name is Oz." Oz nodded smiling weakly.
"I'm happy for you Gil." Not wanting to face the truth, he hadn't even listened.
Gil grabbed Oz's arm, turning him back to face him.
"Oz! Didn't you hear. I love you!" Oz froze, his heart thumping loudly in his chest.
He turned to Gil, eyes wide.
"I...you do?" He didn't want to believe this was real. If it wasn't it would hurt more.
"Yes, young master. With all my heart." Oz threw himself at Gil wrapping his small arms around his waist.
"Leim..."
"Yes, Xerxes?" Leim looked down at the Hatter who had his head on his chest.
Leim's hands started running though his loves hair.
"You can call me Kevin...if you want." Leim jumped hearing Xerxes' old name. He looked down at him and a tiny smile spread over his lips.
"Kevin is a nice name but I prefer Xerxes." He kissed his forehead gently. Break grinned as Leim bent down kissing him.
"Well, well aren't you two all cozy." A giggling voice broke through the haze. Leim jerked, looking up to see Sharon, who was smiling down at them.
Break laughed pulling Leim's arms closer around him.
"Hello, Ojou-sama." He gave a lazy smile. Sharon blinked a few times shocked. Finally.
Xerxes was acting so calm and sweet. Speaking of sweet; he through a piece of candy into his mouth.
"Well I'll leave you two love birds alone." She twirled around, skipping over to Alice, who was a laying down in the grass.
Break snuggled up to Leim with a sigh.
"Break..."
"Hmm..." It was a sleepy mumble. The Hatters' breathing slowed and Leim knew he was asleep.
He smiled looking down at him. His free hand running through his snow white hair.
"You're beautiful, Xerxes. I love you and I'll always be here with you no matter what." He kissed the Hatters' cheek.
Break heard what he said before falling asleep fully. The weight in his heart seemed to lift, leaving him lighter than ever.
If Leim was with him forever, then he knew he could face his future, and maybe, one day, his past.
Yay chapter two is done. I'm thinking of writing two more chapters so hope you look forward to them~
Ugh Alice always gets in the way of Oz and Gil. And Sharon gets in the way of Break and Leim -.-
