Chapter 20: Forgiveness

Kai sprinted through the door.

"Tala!" he breathed as he saw his red haired boyfriend lying in the hospital bed in front of him.

"Kai," Tala managed, and Kai pulled him into a tight hug before anyone could blink. Tala winced slightly, but hugged him back.

"What happened?" Kai asked as he looked down at his boyfriend, his eyes full of worry. Hiro had said that Tala was OK, but the blue haired male could see that was far from the truth. The red head's face was covered with scratches, a few bruises and a black eye. His chest had bandages wrapped around it, because of the broken ribs and the parts of him that wasn't covered were stained with purple, black and yellow bruises. Tala's mental state wasn't fine either, Kai could see it in his eyes, something was bothering him.

"Tell me what happened. I want to know everything," the blue haired boy said and gave Tala a serious look.

The red head sighed, "There's nothing to tell Kai. A bunch of guys trying to make themselves feel big for beating up someone, that's all."

Kai didn't believe him, and they both knew that. Tala made no attempt to explain it further.

He's hiding something from me, but why? Kai thought as he sat in the chair besides the red head's bed.

Tala couldn't sleep. The hospital bed felt too soft and the room was cold and empty. He missed Kai. He wanted someone, anyone. He thought back to Kai's visit.

"Tell me what happened. I want to know everything."

How could he tell him? It would only hurt him; he hadn't even told Wolfram everything. As far as the younger boy knew, it had just been a group of bullies Tala had once known. It was a lie of course, but if he told Wolfram that Kai was the reason for their kidnapping the younger male would probably hate the blue haired male for the rest of his life. As for Kai, he would never forgive himself; if he found out he was the reason for the red head's injuries. He still loved Kai, he didn't doubt that, but then why was it so hard for him to look at his boyfriend? He thought about Wolfram. How the younger male had clung to him when they were left outside the hospital, how he had refused to let go before the nurse said he was hurting the red head. Wolfram had been bait, Tala knew that, and it was just because of his relationship with him. He needed to make that up to him, but how?

A few weeks passed and both Tala and Wolfram were discharged from the hospital and back at school. The red head was glad to be back with Kai, but he felt he wasn't the boyfriend he was before the kidnapping. He sighed. Kai was currently in an Art lesson, normally Tala would have P.E. at this time, but because of his injuries he was excused until he was completely healed. Today he was spending the time in his room. He hadn't bothered switching on the light and the room was awfully quiet without Kai there. The red head was lonely and he felt bad for not being able to be a real boyfriend.

Maybe we should just break up? The thought made his heart skip a beat. What would Kai say to that? Would he get mad? Would he be hurt? Or maybe he would agree? He sighed again and leaned his head against the wall. A knock on the door made him straighten up, "Yeah?"

The door slid open and Wolfram walked into the room, closing and locking the door behind him.

"That's a very good drawing Kai," Hiro said as he glanced over the younger male's shoulder. It was very well done, and looked realistic; there was just one thing the substitute teacher didn't like. It was a drawing of the boy's boyfriend when he was in the hospital. While they were back together now, there was something not quite right. They didn't hold hands like they used to, or look at each other. Hiro hadn't even seen them kiss since Tala came back. It was easy to see that it bothered Kai, but he was waiting for his boyfriend to recover and didn't mention it. Although Hiro feared the red head might not be happy to be Kai's boyfriend anymore.

Everyone had noticed how Wolfram and Tala acted around each other after they came back. They had shared something none of them could understand, they were close. Kai had noticed too, how could he not? The two of them often spent time together, alone. The blue haired male wondered what they were doing. He feared he had a pretty good idea. He tried not to think of it, he trusted Tala and if anything he was sure they would break up before the red head did anything with the younger male, at least he hoped so.

It wasn't the first time they had done this, shared passionate kisses and lustful touches, it seemed they did this every time they were alone. Tala didn't like it. He didn't like the way the younger male's lips tasted, didn't like his soft skin under his hands, didn't like how they every time went further and further. They were lying on his bed in his and Kai's room. He on top with Wolfram underneath. The younger was already only in his boxers and Tala with his shirt unbuttoned and pants about to come off. Wolfram moaned and tugged on his pants. Were they going all the way this time? The red head kissed down his neck and chest making the blond more inpatient.

This is my way of making it up to him. After this, it's over. Tala thought as he helped remove his own pants. Wolfram started stroking outside the older male's boxers, moaning of his size. Tala's kisses reached the blond's hips and his hands gripped the silk fabric. This was it, no turning back, when he pulled them off he would have to go all the way.

"Aren't you worried about them?" Brooklyn asked Kai, worried. The blue haired male stared at him.

"Worried about whom?"

Of course he already knew who Brooklyn was talking about, but pretended not to.

"Tala and Wolfram."

"I trust Tala."

"I know that, but does he deserve your trust?"

"I cheated on him once Brooklyn, or have you forgotten already? I'm the one who doesn't deserve trust." The blue haired male lowered his head.

"Actually, what we did wasn't cheating as you weren't together at the time."

"It doesn't matter. I still trust Tala."

"I know that, but I'm worried that he'll hurt you. They've been seen together you know. In their free periods, like now, they spend the time together in your room." Brooklyn meant to help, but it just hurt. Kai knew Tala and Wolfram were together in their room, but hoped it didn't mean what he thought it did.

Tala

Suddenly the red head froze. Just as he were about to pull of Wolfram's boxers, an image of a certain blue haired male appeared in his head.

Kai.

Immediately he pulled away from the younger male. All of this wasn't for Wolfram, it was for Kai. Tala then realized that all this time he had imagined it was the blue haired male he loved.

"T-Tala what's wrong?" the blond male panted and touched Tala's bare chest. The red head slapped his hand away.

"This is wrong. I'm sorry Wolfram, but I can't sleep with you when it's Kai I want, when it's Kai I love." It was all so clear to him now, he hadn't lost his feelings for his boyfriend, he was just afraid Kai would push him away. But that wouldn't happen, because the blue haired male was waiting for him. Tala got on his feet and pulled on his pants.

"Go back to your room Wolfram. I'm sure Yurri will be glad to see you." Then without more hesitation, Tala sprinted off to find Kai, still with his shirt unbuttoned.

Kai added the last details to his drawing. He was slow, his thoughts elsewhere. Would Tala really cheat on him? Sure, he knew they hadn't been very close since the red head returned, but they were still together, right? He sighed and looked at his drawing. Tala looked sad in the picture, just like that day in the hospital. The lesson was only half way through and Kai knew he would struggle to start on something new. Just then the door to the classroom flew open. Everyone looked up in surprise to find Tala with his shirt unbuttoned and panting heavily. His ice blue orbs scanned the room until they locked on Kai. Before anyone could react the red head was in front of the other male. He pulled him up from the chair and into his arms, kissing him with such force and passion Kai could barely keep on his feet. When they parted he hugged his blue haired boyfriend as he whispered in his ear;

"I love you Kai." With a smile the blue haired male hugged him back.

"I know Tala. I know."
