Online Romance: Chapter 8
Balmung stood, bewildered. The younger boy only inches away. He made an attempt to reach out and touch him, but soon was swallowed in darkness.
'Dirty'
'Tainted'
'Sinful'
Words circled in his head. Balmung gasped and jolted awake.
That was Kite. He knew that much. But those words..
What he was doing was wrong? Balmung quietly agreed to himself that what he was preparing to do was in fact not wrong, only merely to communicate and confess his love in person..
"OH GOD." Balmung hid his face in his hands. No.
He mustn't get cold feet now.
He was too far into his search to stop now.
Glancing at the clock over on the bed table earned a miserable groan from the man. It was far too early to be awake, but here he sat, wide awake and confined in this tiny hotel room.
He slept with his clothes on but he brought a few extra change of clothes in a duffle bag be had brought along. He might as well enjoy a hot shower then later on go off to eat some breakfast to keep him going through the day.

Since Balmung didn't see Kite log onto The World in ages, he had to find another mean to gain information of his whereabouts. It just suddenly hit him that this all seemed so very stalker-ish.. That may be the case but he knew one thing. He was crazy about the youth. And maybe an encounter with him will clear things up and he'll be allowed to move on.
But he didn't want it to end right there.
What he wanted deep inside was for something more.
But that was being selfish. There was the reaction of Kite as well. And as far as Kite knows, he doesn't know that he's coming to see him in particular. Oh well. Explanations can be figured out later if and when they meet.
Hooking his laptop in the wall circuit and connecting the neural goggles and remote control, Balmung sat at the small table in the hotel with the curtains closed so that no light from the raising sun could distract him.
He highly doubted that he'll help him, but Yasuhiko is his only chance of finding Kite.
He knew Orca's real name is in fact Yasuhiko. And that he and Kite are friends in life as well as in The World.
His only concern at this point is will he help him?
Only one way to find out. He also hoped for the better. Cause if this fails then perhaps their friendship will be lost and there will no longer be 'The Descendants of Fianna'.
