Okay, I know that I said this would be a oneshot but Queenofgoths was nice enough to request a second chapter so here it is. This takes place a couple of months after chapter one.there is a strong possibility of this being continued further if people ask for it.

Miguel walked into his hotel room and tossed his room key onto the dresser in the spacious hotel room he shared with his lover. One look around the room said that Kai was somewhere else. The gargoyle was hardly surprised since the phoenix had a habit of going for late night walks without telling him. What Miguel never mentioned was how worried he was every single time the blue haired enigma disappeared. His imagination tended to run away with him and forced him to imagine all the horrible things that could happen. Sighing he ran a hand through his blond locks before heading to the bathroom to get ready for bed. Kai would return late and slip into the bed like always and like always Miguel would pretend to just wake up and greet him with kiss if not more depending on how worried he had been over Kai's health. Tonight would be no different. Miguel had discovered that he only slept well when he had his arms wrapped firmly around his phoenix's slim waist. He crawled into bed before checking the clock and deciding that it wouldn't hurt to stay up for another hour or so before trying to go to sleep.

He stirred at the sound of the TV being turned off and sat up. "Go back to sleep love. It's just me." Miguel didn't even consider going to back to sleep when he'd been awake the entire time. There was something that Kai didn't want him to know. It was always rather obvious when the phoenix was hiding from Miguel. He had a habit of sticking to the shadows of their room, be it hotel or bedroom in their homes, to avoid being questioned. The tactic no longer worked and he had even given it up for the most part, but tonight he was sitting in the corner where Miguel could barely make out his form let alone any detail. With a sigh the gargoyle reached and turned on the bedside lamp. He was out of bed and kneeling in front of Kai in an instant once his brain registered the large bruise and small cut along the phoenix's jaw line.

"What the hell happened Kai? Did you get in a fight? Did someone attack you? Are you alright? Do you need a doctor? No, no doctors. Maybe I should run and get Spencer. He's practically a doctor after all." Kai placed his hand firmly over Miguel's mouth to stop the stream of questions and musings. Miguel looked up at him with baby blues so worried that Kai's heart broke on the spot. He moved to sit with his lover on the floor and pulled him close.

"I'm okay Miguel. You don't have to worry about me. Some moron thought he'd try and rob me. It was easy enough to deal with. I don't need any medical attention so don't bother waking Spencer or anyone else up. It's just a bruise." Kai buried his face in Miguel's neck once he'd finished talking. Miguel sighed and held his partner closer.

"You have no idea how much I worry about you" he whispered so softly Kai barely caught it, but he did and felt horrible about making the loving blond worry about something as insignificant, or at least to him, as his health.

Kai pulled away and smiled at his gargoyle. "I'm going to take a quick shower and then we'll go to bed okay?" Miguel nodded and helped Kai to his feet.

While Kai was in the shower Miguel grabbed his key card and left to get Spencer. He knocked on the door to the taller blonde's room and waited impatiently for him. The door opened revealing a sleepy Spencer wearing only sweatpants. "Something wrong?"

"Kai was attacked coming back from wherever he was. He's got a really bad bruise and a cut on his jaw. He said it was nothing, but I was hoping you'd come look at him anyway." Miguel sent his best puppy dog eyes on the green-eyed Russian.

"Put away the puppy dog eyes Miguel. I'll come take a look at Kai if only to lecture him about being stupid enough to get punched by some thug." Miguel led the way back to his and Kai's room and quickly opened it.

"Hey, where'd you…" Kai didn't finish his question when he saw Spencer walk in behind Miguel. "I told you not to bother him Miguel. It's just a bruise." Miguel walked over and sat behind the phoenix and kissed his shoulder gently as he hugged him.

"Just let him take a look so that I feel better about it ok?" Kai nodded relenting to his lover's gentle plea as he remembered the heartbreaking look in them when he had come back. Spencer motioned for him to go into the bathroom where the light was better and so that he would have easy access to the first aid kit the hotel had in every room.

"You really have him worried you know. He used to come ask us if we'd seen you every time you would disappear. I think he's worried you're not going to come back one of these times." Spencer spoke in Russian so that Miguel couldn't understand the conversation if he managed to overhear.

"He never said anything to me about it. He just smiles and kisses me before we go to sleep. Then in the morning he never mentions it. Though, come to think of it, I don't think he's ever truly asleep when I come back." Kai's eyes got a distant look to them as he thought over all the nights he'd come home late and crawled into bed only to have his lover turn over and greet him with a kiss.

Spencer cleaned out the cut on Kai's chin before questioning the phoenix further. "Does he wake up if you leave the bed after you've initially come home or haven't gone out that night or is it only when you've been out wandering late at night?"

"Only when I've been out late. Otherwise he sleeps soundly. Do you think he's just faking it so that I won't know how worried he is?"

"It's a definite possibility. You have to talk to him about it though. If you're going to make your relationship work with him then you have to be willing to talk these things out. Make sure to tell him that whenever he's worried or something's bothering him to talk to you about it or else he'll just continue to bottle things up and that's not healthy for either of you or your relationship." Spencer squeezed his friend's shoulder gently. "I know that you love him and I know that you're having trouble really figuring out how to be in a relationship with him, but you're just going to have to talk through everything as it comes up." Kai nodded and followed Spencer out of the bathroom.

"So everything's alright? It's nothing serious" Miguel questioned the taller of the two Russians in front of him.

"He's fine. He just has to be more wary of his surroundings when he's out late like this. Get some sleep, both of you."

The young couple nodded their acknowledgment of his orders before he left them alone. Kai joined Miguel on the bed and curled up against his chest. Miguel's strong arms wrapped around him securely as warm gentle lips were pressed against the phoenix's own. Kai kissed back briefly before pulling away slightly. "I'm sorry for making you worry Miguel. I didn't realize that I was doing it. I thought you didn't care if I went out."

"Of course I care! Kai, I love you and want you to stay with me. What if you were badly hurt or even killed on one of your walks? It could happen. There're a lot of people out there that don't give a damn if they hurt you. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you." Miguel tightened his grip around his lover hoping to stress how much he cared and loved his partner.

"I love you too Miguel. I'll try and keep my walks to a minimum from now on. I don't want you to have to worry like that. If you do get worried like that tell me please. I can be a little dense about those kinds of things." Miguel nodded before smiling and kissing him gently. "Let's go to bed love. Otherwise we'll have to deal with an annoyed Dr. Spencer and that's not fun." Miguel chuckled softly but nodded his agreement to go to sleep. With his arms firmly wrapped around Kai's waist and feeling the phoenix's skin against his own Miguel was able to drift off into a deep, dreamless sleep.
