"P'Zee..",

"Hm?", Zee asked as he walked towards Saint holding watermelons that he asked to eat. Zee's attending Saint like usual as Poppy and Tommy's asleep in the couch. Saint pleaded his grandma to go home for awhile and rest, Mrs. Panich seconded on the thought..She was welcomed on Panich's residence for the time being.

"I'm hungry..", Saint pouted.

"Sorry..", Zee then fed Saint with the watermelon. "Are you uncomfortable with your position?", Saint's apparently sitting.

"I'm fine", Saint smiled.

"Here..", Zee fed Saint another piece. "Do you want anything besides watermelon?", Saint shook his head. "...okay",

"They look tired.", Saint looked at sleeping Tommy and Poppy..

"Uh, they helped me and your grandma to look at you when I had to go school, and every night, they would come and stay till midnight.

"God, what have I done.. my grandma is too old to be stressed.", Saint murmured, Zee caressed his cheeks, he closed his eyes.

"Don't think like that, it's not your fault why you're here.", Saint then remembered what he did that made them crash into the barricade. It terrified him, but that's the only thing he could do to stop the unknown guy who's trying to take advantage of him, his tear lingered around his eyes, but he made sure for it not to drop, Not realizing that Zee's studying him, he bitten his lower lip quite hard for it to slightly bruise. "What are you thinking?",

"Nothing.", Saint smiled but it didn't passed Zee's eyes. Zee then put the plate of watermelon in the table then hugged Saint gently, and Saint snuggled his head on Zee's chest.

"You can tell me, Saint..you can..", Zee stroke Saint's hair and so his back, he finally felt his shirt wet. "Can you tell me what Jennie did?",

"Jennie...she tried to drown me in the washroom,P..and that man..if I didn't chase after the wheels...I don't know what he could do... I'm so scared,P' ...I'm so terrified.  I thought I'm gonna die." Saint continued to cry under Zee's embrace. Zee's heart clenched when his lover trembles and the fact the couldn't do anything when he almost lost his life is double killing him. "I thought I'll never hold you like this again.. I thought I'll never be able to talk to you again... I thought..", Saint sniffed. "... I'll never be able see your face this close again.", Saint looked up and met Saint.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Saint..", Zee joined Saint as he cupped Saint's face, rubbing his tears. "I'm sorry that you have to meet this thing, I'm sorry..that you're suffering because of me.", his voice cracked. Saint closed his eyes, and feel the gentle hands of Zee caressing his face. "... Saint..",

"P'Zee..",

"I'm really really so..", Saint cut Zee by his lips. He gently led the kiss until Zee returned it. Saint stopped on crying, then they looked at each other.

"I love you, P'Zee..",

"I love you so so much, Saint..", They then resumed hugging each other until they calm down..

"Tom..", Saint called for Tommy softly as Zee fell asleep next to him.

"Yes, Saint..",

"I need to pee.", Saint awkwardly laughed.

"Ah, wait...", Tommy went to Saint and slowly helped him out of the bed. It's the first time Saint would leave the bed, so Tommy tried his best not to inflict any pain on Saint. "You sure I'm the one who you want to go to?", Tommy teased that only gain a glare from Saint. Tommy laughed. The two went to the comfort room and Tommy helped Saint do his business.  "How'd you feeling?",
