StepBrothers -Ianthony ~ (BoyXBoy) ~

Chapter 70

Anthony's POV

I have been scrubbing the inside of Ian for at least an hour now. I knew the harsh texture of the rag would hurt, he had been nawing on that pen as if it was holding his life inside of it. He had tiny dry tears on his cheeks and his eyes were closed.

I slowly stopped my hand to look at him. He had soft red tinting his cheeks, his lips were a very light pink as his eyes were gently closed. One single tear rolled down his cheek as his hands, fragile and petite, gently held the sheets. I couldn't bare to even think about someone, even me, hurting this one, gentle person.

I never knew how much he was human, how much he hurt and loved. Back then, I was stupid to think that he was a loser. He's a small, short human. He shows emotion, he shows love and happiness. He shows that he is able to walk, dance and run. He is smart, he can one day, not study and get an A on his test.

Ian has poetry in every word that he speaks, his movements show art and his care and emotion show that he is special. He is different, but damn, he is brightness within itself. He's like a star, but not a star as you would think of. Not in the sky, not a celebrity, he's a star as in, he takes all of his flaws, all his pet peeves, all his beauty and smashes it all into one thing. He takes all of the bad emotions, good emotions and just plain, emotions and smashes them into one thing. He smashes everything into a small sentence that he doesn't forget, My heart, beats for a reason, it keeps me alive for a reason, I'm alive for a reason.

It's not a high sky motto that you would live by, it's not famous. But it reminds you of how much you're meant to live, how much you are worth living, your heart is beating for some reason that you just don't know sometimes, but no matter what, it beats.

I shook my head, looking down at him as his eyes were open and his lips were closed, his hand was gently against my forearm. "A-nthony?" He whispered, furrowing his eyebrows. "I'm sorry- I just- uh.. zoned out." I mumbled to him, but myself mostly. He gave me a small smile and blinked once, his blew eyes were there. "I do that a lot too." He whispered, it became soft. He blinked again, his blue eyes brightened. "It's common for most people." He whispered once more, it becoming even softer. He blinked again, but they didn't open. "It happens to me all the time." He said with the softest voice, and then it all, stopped.

I blinked myself and I felt my hand being pushed away, it gently hitting my chest. I couldn't see Ian, my head was pounding and my mouth was becoming dry. I swallowed my saliva a couple times as I lifted my hands. I looked around and I could see my body, it was more transparent than what I've known to look like.

I blinked again and it became darker, I felt myself losing my balance but no matter what I was still standing. I heard soft crying in the back of my head, it sounded familiar.

I soon felt myself blink again, brightness filled my eyes as I looked around, seeing the same medical room. Ian was sat up, a frightened look on his face as he had both his hands on my shoulders. "Anthony!!" He yelled out, letting out quick pants. I shook my head as my face when forward, gently connecting our lips, his hands went shaky to a very small grip onto my shirt.

I slowly pulled away and looked him in the eyes. "I'm fine, you're fine." I mumbled to him, kissing his chin gently. My hand was on his leg and my other was on his hip. "I promise, my hearts still beating." I whisper to him, gently placing my lips onto his forehead.

I pulled away to see a small smile on his lips, a bright red blush on his cheekbones. "Mine is too." He whispered back to me. I smiled widely as I slid both my hands around his waist, closing my eyes as I connected our lips together, blushing softly.

His hands were around my neck as we shared a gentle, passionate kiss. His hearts still beating. I told myself. Your hearts still beating. I continue to tell myself. Our hearts still beating. I told myself once more.

Our hands are still locked, our hearts are in sync, our eyes show emotion, our lips connect to show passion. Our love keeps us alive, our love keeps our hearts beating.
