[KEVIN'S POV]
I'd just got home from a shift and I was tired as hell. The house was dead silent - which was odd because Streber would have probably greeted me at the door by now. Or, if he wasn't, he'd be watching a movie. I walked to the living room to check if he was there. No.. odd. I walked to our room and checked if he was taking a nap. Not there either...
This was odd. He was almost always in either one of those rooms.
"Streber?" I called out, maybe he hadn't heard me open the door.
No response.
"Streber? I'm home!" I called again.
Still, no response.
I started to get a bit worried... I knew he was here because he told me he wasn't going out today.
That was until I heard a violent cough coming from the bathroom.
Quicker then I could physically imagine, I dashed to the bathroom and swung open the door. Streber was on the floor, looking pretty startled from my sudden entrance. But that wasn't the most noticeable thing. Blood was splattered on his face and on the floor. Petals and flowers were messily thrown across the floor. He was... crying.
He was soft, but I hadn't really seen him cry. The last time I saw him cry was when I visited him in hospital.
But now wasn't the time for flash backs. I crouched down and tried to comfort him.
"What happened?!"
He mumbled words I couldn't understand. He was obviously in pain.
But suddenly: I vividly remember something somebody said in the shop today...
"Hey, you heard about that Japanese love sickness?" I heard a girl mention to her friend.
"Oh yeah, Hanahaki?"
"Yeah! Some kid from our school got it. He almost died, until Susan gave him a kiss."
Suddenly, I stared down at him with a blush.
I didn't understand the thing fully, but I knew roughly.
"Streber, do you think you have Hanahaki?" I knew Streber would know what it is, he's into that kind of stuff.
He slowly nodded and blushed.
I felt a warmth come to my cheeks.
"Do you.. love me?" I asked, generally curious.
Now, when Streber asked if he could stay round mine for a while I thought he was just scared of that weird devil guy. I completely understood, and let him stay.
But maybe it was more.
"...yea..h" he muttered, exhaling a petal.
I smiled at him, and suddenly remembered the situation.
I leant down, and, well, I kissed him.
I felt faint myself, but by all means did I not care.
I think.. I liked it.
Streber sat up, and hugged me tightly.
He let off gentle sobs into my chest which made me even want to cry.
"Thank you.." he sobbed
"It's alright, Streb. How about we get you into bed?"
I helped him up, and he leaned on my shoulder as I lead him to the room.
"Love you." He muttered, laying down.
Poor thing.
"Love you too." I blushed, shutting the door.
God.. he's cute..
