Kyo's POV

I've been crying in my room for the past 6 hours. It's 2AM right now and I decide that I'll go eat something. I walk downstairs quietly and walk to the kitchen. I see that there's food on the counter and there's a note.

Kyotaro's Food

Please eat when you see this.

-K

I smile at the note and sit down to eat. I start to think of Karma.

Does she love me or not? Karma's so confusing...

DON'T BE STUPID KYO

Oh. Hi Helios... How are you?

My child, I am doing fine. I'm sorry for going overboard this afternoon.

It's fine Helios. I just.. It's hard sometimes. When I love Karma but I keep hurting people- Fucking hell she doesn't even know you exist Helios. She thinks it's part of the game..

Why are you so oblivious sometimes?

Heh? What?

You're extremely oblivious to how much people love you. Doesn't mean you hurt them accidentally, means you're a monster.

But- It's the part where I just go overboard and get lost in my rage, I just want it to stop.

It will once we can both control our anger. Just try your best, Live life to the fullest because you don't know when you'll lose anyone.

I guess you're right, Helios. Thanks.

Thanks for what?
Thanks for being here for me when I need you. Sometimes you may be sore or a pain in the ass but when I need you, you're always there to help. So Thank You.

I- I mean I guess.. You're Welcome. Now finish your food.

Oh. Alright.

I get pulled out of my thoughts by someone hugging me from behind. I turn around and see Karma. She was hugging me...Why? Why is she hugging a monster like me? I look at her and she looks back at me.

Karma: How are you, Kyoutarou? Why'd you skip dinner?

Kyo: I- I'm fine... I skipped cause I wasn't hungry a while ago...

Karma: Oh... Alright then. Well, finish your food. You'll be unhealthy if you don't eat.

Kyo: Alright.

We both sat in silence. Only the sound of the wind and me eating covered the quiet and comfortable silence. I finish my food and look at Karma. She was looking at something on her phone.

Kyo: So... Are you planning on getting sleep?

Karma: I- Uh- no... I don't really sleep anymore...

Kyo: What? Why not?

Karma: I- I don't really know...

Kyo: How long has this been going on for?

Karma: For 3 or 2 months now...

Kyo: Karma... That's-

Karma: Unhealthy.. Yes I know...

Kyo: I- Okay. Promise me when you can't sleep you come to me.

Karma: I promise...

Kyo: Okay well... Since it's just the 2 of us... Wanna ride around in the car? I mean I don't think any of us is planning to sleep anytime soon.

Karma: I would love to.

Me and Karma go into the car, a lambo of course, and drive around. It was quiet. Karma was looking out the window while I was driving. I was talking to Helios of course.

So Helios... I need help.

What is it, Kyo?

Should I tell Karma about you?

Why, of course. If you want to be in a relationship with her, show some signs of trust and let her know everything about you.

Why are you so wise during my times of need?

I don't fucking know man. It just happens.

Yeah... Anyway, I'm nervous. What if she-

-Won't like you. Yea yea yea. Shut up with that pussy shit. She likes you. I'm certain. Actually she likes all three of you boys but she's waiting for the first boy to make a move.

I guess you're right. Fine I'll tell her.

Good.

Kyo: So.. Karma...

Karma: Yes, Kyotaro?

Ky0: Let's go to a secret place I go to. To relax.

Karma: Alright!

I drove us to the flower field. A Californian poppy field. Karma and I's favorite kind of flower.

I told Karma to cover her eyes and I lead her out of the car. When we get to my spot, a tree on top a hill that I have decorated. I tell her to open her eyes.

Karma: KYO THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

Kyo: i know....

Karma: It's our favorite flower too.

Kyo: I remember...

Karma: I- You said this is where you relax?
Kyo: yes...

Karma: I- This is beautiful..

Kyo: I know... Well wanna hang out here for a while?

Karma; Of course!

We both lie down and stare up at the stars. Relaxing in silence. Well for Karma that is. For me, I was getting the courage to tell her about how much I like her and how I have Helios.

Kyo: Karma... I've got a secret to tell you..

Karma: I'm all ears Kyo.

Kyo: I- Promise you won't tell anyone else? I trust you the most.

Karma: Yes of course Kyo.

Kyo: Okay. I- I hear a voice. He's actually a good "friend" if you could call it that. His name is Helios. He usually likes fighting and blood. He originally wanted to kill Haru and Killu...

Karma: Oh.

Kyo: But he loves- No. I- We love you. WE love you as a person. I want to protect you. Protect the things you love and all that. So-

I get cut off by Karma.. Kissing me. I stay shocked for a second and Karma pulls away.

Karma: I- I'm sorry... Did I take what you said the wro-

I cut her off with a passionate, desperate kiss. She kisses me back and we kiss for what feels like eternity. In a flower field in a place where I help myself calm down. Where I feel comfort. I pull away first.

Kyo: I have been waiting for that since we were kids...

Karma: Same here..

Kyo: I love you Karma.

Karma: I love you too.
