A Week Later
Kite had logged off about an hour after he saw Helba and Balmung in a certain situation. Kite was upset, actually, more like heart broken. He had never had a sensation such as this before. He had allowed himself to fall head over heels for someone probably on the other side of the world. But love can be found in any shape and any where. Perhaps even an online romance?
Kite threw himself on his bed and literally cried himself to sleep. Thinking only about the one person who broke his heart. The next couple of days he remained in his bed. Only to get up and go to the bathroom or to get something to eat. Only after he would spend endless hours under his blankets, clutching a pillow to his chest. He was miserable.
His parents had asked him what was the matter, but Kite would only turn the other way and ignore them or say a simple 'nothing'. They offered if he would like to talk to someone about it, if not them. But Kite knew talking about it won't change anything.. Or so he thought.
Balmung. On the other hand, was going through similar symptoms. He wasn't his usually upbeat and cherry mood with his co-workers, but distant. He's starting to neglect his appearances. Often wearing the same clothes everyday. In the real world, Balmung is like any man. Not the cool and seemingly strong hero in The World. Not like that at all..
"I've e-mailed him several times trying to explain what happened. Why doesn't he reply?" Balmung asked himself many times over. His eyes were glued to the computer screen, waiting, almost wishing that the little e-mail icon would pop up and flash at any moment.
He still didn't understand why at all should he bother with a teen such as Kite.. He normally wouldn't, but he finally knew why. He had truly fallen in love. And Kite's absence was killing him. He wondered if the teen felt the same way. Probably not since he saw him with Helba.. Helba. The name was poison to his tongue.
He knew better than to ever start something like this. Knew better than to fall. But it happened. Happened so naturally. And Kite was the same sex no less. This stirred something in Balmung. Just thinking that he's a male brought a small blush to his cheeks. He wouldn't generally look at other males, but he won't deny his attraction to them. He admits he enjoys the attention of both women and men and he is constantly told how attractive he is. But he hasn't had much experience with men.. It was always look but don't touch.
And Kite was.. he was.. "Kite..." Balmung sat at his desk in an office and he hung his head so his hands covered his face. Just thinking this though made the hole in his heart grow even larger. The emptiness never seem to close or be filled. Close to breaking down, Balmung took the rest of the afternoon off and went home. He had something to do.. And he's wondering if he'll regret it later. Or if it would matter at all..
AN: Ooo Lordy. I am sooo sorry. I know I haven't been updating this story in a long time.. I feel terrible. I apologize to all the reviewers! I only seek forgiveness from you all! This chapter is short. And I'm hungry.. T-T I'm once again soo sorry!
