My 2 Moons

Chapter Seven

"P'Miiiiiiiing!" Ming tensed at the voice calling to him as he left the science building with Yo. He turned, watching as a girl ran up to them, her long brown hair flowing behind her, falling around her shoulders of her nursing uniform as she stopped. "You didn't answer my calls last night..." She pouted, grasping onto his arms.

"Muwarn...I was a bit busy and haven't been checking my phone...why are you here?" He tried to pull his arms free.

"To congratulate my boyfriend of course!" She smiles cheerily. Ming glared at Yo who tries and fails to hide his snicker.

"Muwan...you're not-"

"Oh hush." She cuts Ming off. "Now...I have to run inside really quickly, wait for me?" She doesnt give him a chance to answer as she runs off. Ming turns to Yo with pleading eyes.

"Yo..."

"Go, hurry before I change my mind." Ming squeezes his arm before running off. He ran across campus and into the room where they were holding their shoot, Relaxing only when he saw Third sitting on top of a desk, Kit in the seat of the desk talking quietly with him. Kit saw him before Third did.

"N'Ming?" He said, a little worried at the state that the boy had arrived in. Third turned on the desk to face Ming. They locked eyes, and Kit could swear he saw Ming tremble. Third pushed himself off the desk and walked across the room to him.

"What's wrong?" Third kept his voice low, but Kit kept making notes of their body language to know when he had to move. It didn't appear that Ming answered him, they just kept staring at each other. Kit stood up, when Ming finally opened his mouth, just as the door opened one more time.

"Incoming!" Yo warned, before Third had to back up as another body pushed in between him and ming.

"Miiiiing. Why did you leave? You were supposed to wait for me." The newcomer whined, pouting up at him. Ming, however, didn't take his eyes off of Third, who had become stiff.

Kit looked around as both Forth and Beam pushed themselves out of their seats, Pha only following suit when he noticed that Yo was caught up in whatever was happening. The girl turned around and fixed Third with eyes so vicious., Kit wished he could punch her from there.

"Oh. You're here too. Why am I not surprised?" She said, her voice carrying every bit of venom as her eyes did. Third ignored her, but her voice spurred him to move, making his way around the pair. Ming grabbed his wrist as he passed, causing Third to look at him once more. The smaller boy just shook his head,

"I can't do this again Ming..."He said, and everyone in the room could hear the tears in his voice. Ming let him go, and watched as he fled from the room. Ming turns back around and locks eyes with Kit.

"Phi..." And the broken sound in Ming's voice is all Kit needed to hear.

"I've got him." He assures Ming, grabbing the younger's bag and leaving, Forth hot on his heels, Beam staying behind with Pha for Yo and Ming.

They could hear the door slam down the hall, and Kit rushed to try and reach it before it was locked. He cursed to himself as he tried to open the door, to no avail. He put the bags down on the floor and knocked at the door.

"N'Third? I need you to talk to me okay?" He tried to keep his voice calm although his heart was racing. He hated leaving Ming alone with that woman, but he also didn't want to disappoint him by leaving Third alone.

"I'm not opening the door till Ming comes back." He heard the heart broken voice of the younger man through the door, and pressed his head against the cool wood.
