Dream in a Dream

~Come Back~

[Ten's POV]

"No no no. You forgot to carry the 2 on this one." Johnny told me erasing my answer. He rewrote it so I could understand it better. His handwriting was so neat, and it was so much prettier than mines.

Started flipping back into my book to show me the problem but flipped too fast and gave himself a papercut.

"Johnny! Your finger! It's bleeding!" I yelped as he looked down at his hand. "Where are your band aids?!"

"Oh. I don't have any." he said. 

"Here I have some in my bag." I start digging in my bag and eventually come across one. "Gimme your hand." I reach for his hand, and he places his in mines.

Gosh it's so soft. I held his hand for a second, and then remember that his hand's bleeding. I unwrap the band aid and put it onto his finger. I pull my head up and realized I was directly in front of his face.

"Done~" I spoke softly. I found myself staring at him like we've been here before. I don't want to look away from him though. "Johnny?" when I spoke his name softly and before I realized we were kissing.

Not just kissing. He had his hand holding face, and I never let go of his hand. I closed my eyes and enjoyed it. I've never been kissed like this before. This was different and I liked it.

"Um." I pushed him away in fear and let go of his hand. I grabbed my stuff and threw it into my backpack. "I gotta go. Sorry."

[Johnny's POV]

I watched as Ten ran away from me for the second time today. I blew it again. I just keep messing up. I can't win! Damn!

"Wait." I whispered. Not wanting to yell. But wanting to scream. Maybe I was moving too fast. Maybe he really doesn't know.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey! Hey! Ten. Wake up. Come on. Say something! Come on." I frantically shake him hoping he'll speak or open his eyes. The rain was pouring and making it harder to see and do pretty much anything. I put my head on his chest and felt it raise and fall and raise again.

"Johnny?" he spoke weakly. "You idiot."

"What the hell happened to you?! Ten! Who did this?! Why?"

"You're amazing." He put his in mines and try to grip it but was too weak. "To me and my heart." 

"Ten." I spoke softly as his hand slowly when lifeless and fell to his side. I take a deep breath and pick him up. I walk in the rain with him in my arms. Within 20 or 30 minutes I make it to an urgent care.

"Oh my god! What happened?" the man at the front desk stood up and asked.

"I don't know but he needs help. Right! Please." I spot a rolling bed and laying Ten down on it.

"Are you, his brother?" I shook my head. "I can't let you go beyond those doors with him. I'm sorry. We need someone related to him to get information on him and whatnot. Again, I'm sorry."

"May I speak to him really quickly?" He shook his head and moved out of my way. I walked up to him and held his hand briefly. "Ten. I will kill if you don't make it. You idiot. And. I like you too. I'm so sorry it took me so long." I gently place a kiss on his forehead and watch as the man from the desk wheels him beyond the doors.

"If only you'd remember. This wouldn't be as difficult." I said looking at the chair he was seating in moments ago.

I got up from the table, locked my door, put the food he brought over away, and decided it's time for me to go to bed.
