Poisoned to forget?

Chapter 3

Hunter nodded and patted the other boy's back. "I'm sure it'll stop soon. And, pfft! What, possibly, could get any worse? I'm sure you'll gain them back anyway, your memories, I mean."

Cam was silent. "But what if I forget my feelings towards…"

"Huh?"

"…It's nothing…"

Hunter had a confused look in his eyes. What, possibly, could have Cam said? He didn't hear it, really…Something about having feelings towards someone? I don't know. Hunter shrugged. What better way to find out than ask? "What did you say?"

"I said it was nothing." Cam shrugged it off.

Hunter didn't really like that answer, even though, before, when Cam asks him things, he would say "It's nothing" or "Oops" or "…What were we talking about?" and, now that Cam's doing it, he knows how annoying it could be.

Hunter glared at Cam, not with anger but a tint of need to know what the hell did the smaller boy said.

Cam turned his head, unburied his face from his arms, looking into the blond boy's eyes. He could see, obviously, that the other was glaring at him. He turned away and pouted. "I said it was nothing. Why don't you believe me?"

"Because I know you said something."

"…I forgot what it was, though." Cam said seriously…but he was actually lying.

"Oh, side effects, eh?" asked Hunter, Cam nodded in response, burying his face in his arms.

A moment of silence, ten minutes with no contact. Why was this bothering Hunter? "Hey, Cam, you awake?"

It was silent for a minute till Cam muffled out a simple "Yes". Hunter smiled. Silence. "Did you…want something?" Cam asked, hiding the hint of hope in his voice. Hunter shook his head. "No, not really, nothing." said Hunter. "You should go to bed."

Cam pouted. I thought he'd want to ask me something…or tell me something… A hint of hope in his thoughts. Cam nodded and stood up; he walked to his futon and got under the covers. Hunter crawled towards Cam and sat next to him. Cam looked up at Hunter. "Why are you still here?" asked the Asian boy. Hunter shrugged. "I just felt like I needed to observe you while you sleep." With that, Cam raised a brow. "I mean, uh, maybe, it had some effects with your way of sleeping, too. Like, you say things while you're asleep and stuff." "Okay…?" "Yeah…Go to sleep now." Hunter smiled at his own comment. Cam nodded, face still emotionless, he took off his glasses, setting them aside and closed his eyes.

Hunter uncrossed his legs from his former sitting position and sat on his lower legs. He put his hands on his lap, moving down to grab on Cam's futon and lean down to observe Cam. He wasn't that far from Cam's face, neither was he close, nor was he too close. In fact, the gap between their faces would be compared with a foot long ruler.

When Cam is asleep, he looks like an angel, compared to when he is awake…Not that he's a devil or anything when he's conscious. Hunter thought.

Thanks for the comparison. Cam's voice cut through Hunter's mind before he could think of anymore.

"How do you do that?"

I'm the son of a ninja master. It's easy for me to do this; even when I'm asleep.

Hunter poked Cam, receiving a small groan from him. Cam turned around and faced the wall.

"Whoa, you really are asleep."

I'm just disappointed that, I might forget this ability soon. This had been very handy…

"I promise; I won't let it come to that. I won't let you forget everything."

That's pretty sympathetic of you.

Days later; Bradley household

"I've come to a conclusion that everything is bothering me." Why? "I don't know! But it's just that…I'm bothered to know that Cam is in his weak state." Shouldn't you be happy? "Why should I be?" Hunter battled himself aloud—but not too loud—in his room, in his and Blake's apartment. It's been three days now that Hunter had been arguing with his mental self and talks to himself.

"Dude, if you're going to be like that, we'll think you're the one who got hit by the needle." Said a familiar voice. Hunter turned around to see his little brother, Blake, leaning on the door. How'd he get in? Hunter was sure he'd lock the door…

"How'd you get in here? You used your ninja speed, didn't you?" He asked.

"Your door was closed but it wasn't locked so I decided to get myself in." Blake smiled.

…Okay, maybe he didn't lock the door.

"So…Worried about Cam, huh?" Blake asked.

How'd he know?

"I've heard you talking about him just a moment ago, so don't bother ask me how I knew."

"Are you reading my mind?" Hunter asked, Blake chuckled and shook his head. "Maybe" The navy blue ranger whispered to himself.

Hunter turned and leaned on his windowsill, his arms crossed and resting on the surface while his head was leaning on the wall, under the lifted window.

A pregnant silence grew between the two and was broken when Blake said; "You like him, don't you?"

"Like who? What're you talking' about—…" "Don't you "What're you talking about" me, bro. I know you better than anyone else. When you like somebody and that somebody ends up in some shit, you start worrying and start wondering why you're worrying and eventually realize that you like the person." Blake pointed out.

Blake was right. That WAS how Hunter acts when he likes someone, but is only half aware of it. Hunter could remember the last time this had happened, but it wasn't with a guy. It was with some girl named Clarissa…But now, he likes a guy? That was a major freak out to him.

Blake snapped his fingers in front of Hunter, as loud as he could. "HUNTER! What are you thinking about? Wait! Let me guess…Clarissa? Dude, she was your girlfriend when you were, like, ten years old. Cam's your new fire now. Go ahead and do something before he forgets who you are."

"Hold on a second there, bro. Who ever said I'm going to do anything? I don't even think I like the guy like that…" Well, thinking about it, the first time I've seen Cam, I felt the need to kiss him senseless…weird. Hunter raised his brows at the thought, crossing his arms.

"Ugh! Hunter! Gross! On your first meeting!" "You're reading my mind, aren't you!?" "Uh…I…err…RUN!" Blake started running, opening and shutting the door and hid in his room. Hunter chased him and banged on his little brother's door. "Hey! A guy needs his privacy, you know! And, where'd you get that ability?" "You weren't paying attention to ninja class when Sensei Amino was explaining the wonders of mindreading, weren't you?" "Teach me?" "Okay, but to return the favor; you will tell Cam about your feelings." "…Sure thing, bro."

A/N: There was no point for this chapter. I'm sorry. I was just brain-drained when I smelt the sweet scent of my crush. Hahn…Such a sweet scent…Oh, anyways! I am REALLY in need of ideas! Please Review on this story! I'm losing ideas ( :( )
