Voyage of Discovery
Facing the past
Kai was much better on the 15th, that night Tala had slept in his own bunk in his cabin with the others and Ray kept to Kai's side. Mao like the previous day had brought them food, she strongly believed in their relationship and would continue to nurture it for as long as she was alive.
Ray wanted Kai to leave tomorrow, Kai had voiced many a time at how he hated being stuck in the now cramped and stuffy room but Ray kept Kai company and rarely left the room. He had described seeing land in the distance and how they were getting closer and closer to New York. Kai almost smiled at that, he was much better, the doctor said that his bullet wound was beginning to heal, Kai had even gotten out of bed a few times, now he could walk again getting out the next day was assured.
"It's merely for observational purposes Mr. Kon," the doctor assured.
Ray nodded in agreement, his boyfriend had been shot.
The doctor gave a warm smile.
"Don't worry, I'm sure he will be all right, he's going to pull through just fine!"
"Thank-you so much doctor, if you weren't here, he'd probably had died."
"I was just doing my job, thank-you's not necessary but you're welcome, now please excuse me." He nodded and returned to the chair beside his boyfriend and watched him resting. Ray noted the slight rise and fall of the Russian's chest. The fresh bandages over his wound and the skin colour, Ray smiled, he knew Kai would live, he knew he would survive and they could be together forever.
"Ray?" Kai asked weakly, he looked over to see Ray instantly looking at him with curious golden eyes.
"Are you okay Kai? You need the doctor?"
"Ray, calm down, I just wanted to know what the time is."
"Oh," Ray replied feeling a little embarrassed by his outburst.
"You're cute when you get embarrassed," Kai smirked.
Ray went into the office and looked at the large clock on the desk.
"Its almost midnight...almost the 16th ."
"Almost freedom," Kai smirked.
"Why don't you get some rest Ray? You look exhausted, you should go back to your room and give your mother some company, she just lost her husband, she was married, right?"
Ray nodded.
"I don't want to leave you Kai, not for a night."
"Ray, I do love you, but you should go and see your mother, I'll be fine for one night."
"You better be, or you'll be in big trouble...alright, I'll spend tonight in my cabin, I can get Tala or Bryan or someone to stay here."
"Ray, I'll be fine."
Ray sighed, the worry was clear to Kai which made him feel loved. The Neko strolled over to Kai in his bed and leaned in and met Kai's lips with his own in a gentle and delicate kiss.
"Goodnight Kai, I love you."
"Goodnight Ray, sleep well."
"You too, I'll be in here before breakfast to check on you, let me go tell the doctor."
Ray went to the office door and knocked, the man appeared.
"Yes Mr. Kon?"
"I'm going back to my room, please send someone or come yourself if there's any problems, I'm in cabin B-52."
"Alright, pleasant dreams."
"Thank-you," Ray said leaving.
Ray slowly walked back to his cabin, his legs felt like lead weights as he returned to his bed, he hadn't been back here since that night when Kai was shot. Tears started to swell in his eyes at the thought, he bit his lip to prevent him from bawling loudly. He wished he was still with Kai, he didn't want to leave, but maybe he was right about being with his mother, he had to stay strong, he was the man of the house now and he would do his best to replace his father.
Mao was surprised to see her son here.
"Ray, what's the matter?"
"Kai said he wanted to try it alone tonight and I should stay with you because we're a family, I do agree with him."
Mao nodded and pulled her son into a hug which he returned and instantly started crying, the start of a long and painful recovery had started.
Deep down Ray knew that everything would be okay. Everything would be okay.
