Kids with a Peculiar Disease

He rode me to my house. It felt so good hugging him from the back. I felt protected. But I was wondering, how could I have loved him so fast.

He got off the motorcycle and stood in front of me. He took a strand of hair and pulled it back. "Do you know what this means?"

"What?"

"We are cured" he said with extiement. I erased the smile away from my face. "Babe," he said. "I am not doing this for that. When I first saw you I liked you right away. When I knew you were a blue Infinitain like me... I loved you" he kissed my forhead.

"I don't want to tell no one still" I said. He looked at me serious.

"Why-"

"Because I want to make sure that what I feel for you is real" I said fast. Tears accumulated in his eyes. My heart dropped. "What's wrong?" I grabbed his face with my hands.

"Is that," he said "you first told me you loved me and now you aren't sure" he covered his face with his hands. I couldn't see a guy cry. My entire life, everytime I saw a guy crying, was a torture. I couldn't see my Jaxon crying.

"Babe," I told him to make him feel better. I hugged him "I love you" I said and pulled him away. I gave him a quick and soft kiss. And wiped his tears. He grinned at me. I said "The thing is that I need to make sure it'll stay like that. You saw what happened to Core and Lacrisse"

"We aren't them" he pulled me closer to his face. "We do love each other"

I looked at his lips. Then back to his eyes. I hesitated but said "Yeah. We do"

He gave me another kiss before I entered my house and he left on his motorcycle.
