Chase looked at the rider soon after the fight with a few Roidmudes. Gou undid his transformation and he fell towards the ground. The young man was exausted from the fight. He didn't quite hit the concrete but Chase Caught him in time. He knew Gou was getting sleepy as he held his head close to his chest.
"I should take you home. You need to rest, let wounds heal and gain your energy back," Chase told the teen as Gou slowly drifted off. Chase knew they weren't far from his appartment. And so he walked towards the apartment with Gou in his arms.
Once Chase was at the door to Gou's appartment, he opened it and walked inside the appartment. The Roidmude looked around the small appartment. The appartment didn't look very livable but that didn't bother Chase. He looked around trying to locate the teen's bedroom. It wasn't long before he found the right place. Chase slowly walked Gou to his bedroom, so then he wouldn't wake the teen up as he walked.
Soon enough, Chase got the bedroom door open and walked over to Gou's bed. He placed the boy down on it softly and removed his shoes and got up to talke them to the doorway. When he returned he looked down at Gou's expressionless face. He never really knew how cute Gou looked when he was asleep. He just couldn't pry his gaze off of the sleeping human in front of him. The boy looked so calm and peaceful and this caused heat to collect in Chase's cheeks. He was very unfamiliar with the feeling that was tingling inside of him. What was this feeling? He felt his chest tighten like he was going to suffocate but he really couldn't. He was a Roidmude after all.
The young boy in the bed sturred. Chase was staring at Gou when he saw one of the boy's eyes open just enough to see Chase standing in front of him watching his every move. Gou tried to sit up but his hand shot to his stomach in pain. Chase ran to the bedside and tried to stop Gou.
"Rest Gou," Chase told the boy. Gou just looked at the Roidmude with unhappiness.
"But Neechan, she will be worried," Gou told him through gritted teeth. He knew Chase was right about getting him to rest but he had to tell Kiriko that he was alright after that fight.
"You were pretty beat up in the fight. You should take it easy," Chase explained. He watched the teen as he could tell that this idea made him mad. But ther was nothing Gou could do about it. Chase stood up so he could leave and let Gou get the rest that he needed. Chase felt a hand on the sleeve of his purple leather jacket. He looked at the hand and followed it to Gou. Gou had reached out and grabbed the Roidmude. Chase looked at the teen and Gou stared back.
"Will you stay with me? Maybe you can keep the nightmares away," Gou asked the Roidmude. Gou could see that Chase was willing to stay but fighting it in his robotic head. Gou looked up at Chase weakly before he moved the covers that were on top of him to make enough room for Chase. Chase hesitently walked over to the bed again and sat down on it. He took his boots off and then laid flat on the bed as Gou covered the Roidmude with the blankets. Chase felt the teen roll up against his body and place his head on Chase's chest. Gou could feel heat from Chase's core.
"Why all of a sudden change of hard?" Chase asked the teen. Gou shifted his head to where he could see the Roidmude's face.
"I just wonder if my nightmares will stop if you were with me," Gou answered. Chase began to smile. Gou moved his head back to where is was. Chase, on the other hand, he still watched the teen as he slowly fell asleep. It didn't bother the Roidmude but he just couldn't figure out what this feeling in his chest was.
Chase felt the teen fall asleep and he just sat there feeling the boy's steady breathing as he slept. The feeling was really starting to get at him. This was one feeling he has never felt before. Was this the human emotion of... love? Is that what this feeling in his chest was? If it was, then this was not something for a roidmude except Chase was not ordinary Roidmude. He fights his own kind for the person he was laying with. Slowly, Chase felt himself drifting off into shutdown mode. Within seconds, Chase was also asleep with Gou wrapped around him.
The next morning, Gou was the first to wake. Chase was still asleep but that didn't bother Gou. At least that was one night he didn't have to deal with nightmares. Maybe being around somebody you have feelings for was the best solution to keep the nightmares away. The teen looked up to see the Roidmude's face, which had a calm expression on his face as he was shut down. Gou felt Chase's arm move around his waist and then the Roidmude's eyes opened slowly.
"Good morning, Chase," Gou told the robotic man.
"Good morning. Did you sleep well?" Chase asked the teen.
"Indeed I did," Gou answered. "At least there were no nightmares. I guess sleeping with the one you you have feelings for does keep them away." Chase could feel a smile show itself on his lips.
"That's good," Chase replied. Gou just couldn't stop himself as he put his face right in front of Chase's. Chase didn't freak out like Gou thought he would when their lips met. Gou was suprised to find that his lips were soft and warm. The sat like this for a few minutes. Gou broke the kiss to breathe again. Chase's arm was still on Gou's waist when the other hand was brought up to the middle of the teen's back.
Chase, on the other hand, was suprised Gou did what he did. Chase was stunned by Gou's actions. Was this really how Gou felt? Was this the true feeling of love? Chase could not stop the questions from popping up in his mind. His eyes were wide for a few seconds Gou spoke.
"I'm......sorry," Gou struggled to get the words out. "I didn't mean to scare you. I didn't kn-." Chase shut Gou up with another kiss on the lips. Chase's eyes slowly shut and Gou did the same. This is where the fun really begins. This is how their life started.
