Sormik Circus Au (Mikleo x Sorey)

Act 10~ Closing

     When I heard what Laila had said I didn't think I heard her right, or maybe I hadn't wanted to hear her right.
"Mikleo's still in there?" My heart felt like was going to beat out of my chest and crack in half at the same time.
     "Laila, are you sure he's still in there?" Gramps asked calmly but he looked as shaken as me.
     "I'm sure of it, he was helping me get, we were almost out when a wave of fire cut him off from me," she looked at us with desperation in her eyes,
     "Please save him, please he saved me and he's my son, but I can't help him, barley get up" She was in tears, hicopping and coughing every other word.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

     I didn't have to be told twice, I stood up fully and headed back towards the fire. I heard people calling for me but I couldn't just let Mikleo in their until the fire department get here, that would take another twenty minutes since we were on the edge of town.
     Before I got inside the tent, a hand stopped me, I was about to push them off but they handed me a motorcycle helmet, I looked up and saw Zaveid.
     "Put this on, it will keep fire from your face and smoke away." I nodded to him and put it on, I ran into the tent.
     At first all I could see was a blinding bright reds, oranges, and yellows, but the light died down some what and I could see again.
    I looked around, Mikleo had to be around here since Laila said he had almost made it  out as well.
     I turned to my fight and took a few steps before I saw Mikleo lying in the ground.
     One of the beams broke and crashed behind me sending up another wave of flames. I crouched down to get away from the flames and pick up Mikleo.
His usually pearl white skin was smudged by ash, his clothes burned, his eyes closed tightly, and breathing sporadic.
     I got outside just before the last beam fell in front of the exit and bringing the whole place down with it.
     That would have had my attention except for the fact that I had to make sure Mikleo was still alive, he had to be.
     I laid Mikleo gently down on the ground safely away from the fire.
     I threw off the helmet and leaned down to check if he was breathing, he was. When the relief from knowing he was at least alive made me well aware of my own exhaustion; I swayed a little.
     Suddenly Gramps was holding my shoulders to keeping me from passing out and Laila was checking over Mikleo again. I heard sirens coming closer to us by the second. I tried to stay conscious long enough to at least see the ambulances but I couldn't, darkness suddenly covered both my eyes and head.
    I could only hear one last thing from Gramps surprisingly.
     "You did very well, rest."
     The next time I awoke I was in a hospital room, Zevid and Dezel were sitting in chairs next to my bed.
     Dezel looked up when he noticed I was awake then elbowed Zevid awake as he had been sleeping.
     "Aww Dezel! What was that for-?! Oh hey Sorey! How are you feeling?"
     "Like a took one hundred sleeping pills."
     "So tiered?"
     "Very." He nodded and chuckled.
     It was true though, I felt like passing out again. The only thing that kept me awake was the fact that I needed some answers.
     "What happened to Mikleo?" Dezel looked up.
    "He had some pretty bad burns and he inhaled some smoke but other wise he's okay. He's been going in and out of consciousness all day." I think that was the most I had ever heard Dezel talk but I was glad for the information.
     "Zevid why did you throw me your helmet before I ran in?"
     "Huh? Oh yeah that, well you didn't have a mask or anything so the helmet kept smoke from your eyes and mouth."
     "Wow how did you think of that?"
     "It happened in an anime I watch."
     "Of course." We both chuckled, then again what else should I have expected as his answer?
     "Okay one last question, when can I get out of here and see Mikleo?"
     Dezel and Zevid look to each other and then back at me.
     "The doctor came in a little while ago and said that after you wake up and sign some papers you are free to go."
     "Great, now where is that doctor?"
     I got all my papers signed and I was released, instead of going strait home I instead took a detour to room 204.
I stopped in front of the door of 204 and gently pushed open the door.
I had gained the attention of the white haired male lying in the big hospital bed.
"Hey Mikleo, came I come in?"
"Of course you can." I smiled as I sat down next to Mikleo and held his smaller hand in mine.
"How are you?"
"The burns on my back are uncomfortable and kind of sting and I have a slight cough but other wise I'm doing just fine. What about you?"
"I'm great, I got discharged and now I'm here with you."
I kissed Mikleo's head gently and started to rub circles into Mikleo's hand. I always did that when Mikleo was nervous or upset, now I just did it to tell myself Mikleo was okay and still alive.
"I'm glad your feeling good, how is everyone else?"
"No one else seemed to get hurt but everyone was pretty shaken up after everything."
"That expected after having the tent burn down." Mikleo had that look in his eyes that told he was close to crying. I couldn't even imagine what he was thinking, he had grown up there. Since Gramps had owned the place since twenty, it was literally had been a part of Mikleo's life ever since he was born. The people, animals, there were his family too.
"I'm sorry Mikleo I know how much you cared for the circus."
"Yeah I- I know though that Gramps will find some way to come back from this, he always does."
"It stills hurts though, huh?"
"Yeah it does, I count believe its gone." Mikleo was crying now and it hurt me to see him like this, hurt and drained emotionally and mentally.
I got up and slowly hugged him. He wrapped his arms around me and cried for a few more minutes.
When he let go I sat back down next to him. I took his hand again. I kissed the back of it.
"Whatever happens I'll always be here, so will everyone else. Things will get better."
"I know they will, and I'm glad to have you and everyone else. I love you."
"I love you too Mikleo."
I leaned down and kissed him.
I looked into his eyes for a second, they were the same amethyst eyes that matched the pendent I bought at the market back when I first met Mikleo.
I had no clue how things would play out from now on but I knew we would always have everyone and each other.
I smiled as I realized I finally found the place I wanted to be, the place I belonged.
